People-Share-Neighbors-From-Hell
I have SUPER religious neighbors. They hang signs for the local church camp on their property ect. They kept putting our garbage cans in our driveway. While it was stupid and annoying it became more and more aggressive, they would trespass on my property and do damage to my house. But I could never catch them in the act. So I did the only thing a sane person would do, I put on my velvet ritual cloak and made a show of putting a salt circle around my property, chanting and carrying on. Never bothered me again.

Things-People-Universally-Hate
Stickers that peel off easily 80% of the way, but leave behind 20% that are bonded to the surface of the object for life.

When you have that little bit of skin hanging off your finger that you end up ripping it off to your elbow
Things-People-Universally-Hate
Being told “We need to talk later” Why did you give me the notification? Now I’m gonna be riddled with anxiety until we talk. You could’ve just said nothing.
Restaurant-Workers-Share-Ridiculous-Food-Orders
I had a customer send back his well done prime rib three times because it wasn't well done enough for his liking. The cook was so annoyed, he dropped it into the deep fryer for five minutes. At this point, the customer was satisfied and asked for a side of ketchup.
Restaurant-Workers-Share-Ridiculous-Food-Orders
I’ve lost track of how many people have come up to the food truck I work on and asked if we had Gluten free buns, while holding a beer in their hands.
Tourist-Travel-Scams
Madrid, Spain: The lucky rosary: an older gypsy lady will come up to you with a rosary and as soon as she gets the chance she's going to start telling you your fortune. As soon as she's done she's going to ask you to pay between €5-€25. Avoid this scam by just not letting her give you the rosary and walking away.
Food-Delivery-Driver-Stories
Took a big pizza order to a college dorm. It was like just under $200. When I go there I knew the code to get in because I had been a dorm head in the same building a few years earlier and there was one door with a code instead of swipe card. I knew exactly where the room was so I knocked and the guy opened it and said "hold on" and closed the door. I heard an alarming amount of movement in the tiny dorm. And about 2 minutes later they opened the door with no lights on. In the dorm was around 15 dudes all in cloaks and holding lightsabers. One addressed me as Master Jedi of the zaa technique. I was laughing so hard I almost dropped their drinks. They tipped like 100 bucks and said I could join their club anytime. It was amazing.Food-Delivery-Driver-Stories
Drop-off instructions said "Text me when you arrive, and come to the side of the house. I broke my leg and I can't come downstairs, but I'll lower a backpack down to you on a rope. Your tip is in the loop on the back. Thanks!" I thought it was a setup, but turned out to be legit. I thought it was amusing!
Food-Delivery-Driver-Stories
The delivery instructions were to "Beat on the door like you're the cops, and then rawr like a T-Rex to scare my kids" I did this but a small extremely confused lady answered the door. Apparently the husband had written those instructions for a prior delivery and had not realized delivery instructions copy over to the next delivery if not deleted.
Millennials-Doing-Things-Wrong-Boomers
I'm always thoroughly annoyed by the "millennials are lazy" complaint that Boomers have. I've been called lazy and a free loader by so many people because I still live at home with my parents. What they fail to realize is that I'm neither. I live with my parents because I don't have a family of my own yet and my parents would be royally f*cked if I wasn't living there. I make more than my father does. I pay rent. I own and pay the insurance for the car that gets me to work, my father to work, my brother to work, and until recently my SIL to work (she lost her job). It also gets my mom back and forth to wherever she needs to go (groceries, etc) and was responsible for getting my grandmother to her doctors appointments prior to her passing. I paid to replace the septic tank at our house. I paid for a new refrigerator, stove, washer, and drier when ours died. I paid to have our in shambles bathroom repaired. It's to the point that my parents have offered to put my name on the house as well. I stay with my family because I don't need to be on my own, and I love my family and don't want to see them struggle financially if I can help it. It just makes sense for us to stay together for now.
People-Share-Petty-Revenge-Stories
Not me, but for my wife. When we were younger and kind of on hard times,she took a pretty shady job at a local factory. The first two weeks she was there, she had her lunch stolen at least 5 or 6 times. Even open drinks. I was pretty pissed, a lot of times I would grill for her or make her lunch, and she was going hungry. One night I bought a big a*s Gatorade and a box of those women's laxitives, both red in color. Couldn't tell the two were mixed, but we found out who the thief was.
Forgot-Turn-Off-Mic-During-Classes-Reddit
Well, it happened in one of the classes. The teacher was going through a rough time and the class could feel it. We assured her that we had done our homework and that she could take rest for the time being. She agreed and told she would switch her mic off and sleep for a while, as we did whatever. Her husband was right beside her and the mic wasn't turned off. She told, " I am so lucky to have these students" and started sobbing to her husband. We all heard this, but kept quiet to prevent her being embarrassed. She slept well during that time and we sent her a thank you gift collectively.

Housemate Put This Sign On Our Door After Amazon Repeatedly Posted "Sorry We Missed You" Cards Whilst We Were Home
People-Share-Got-Fired-But-Worth-It-Stories
Worked in a govenment office where it's typical to wring hands, deny responsibility, and shift the burden onto citizens even if it's the state that made the mistake. I had a county prosecutor calling repeatedly trying to obtain some documents. It was a drunk driver case, the guy was facing down some serious charges and they were trying to build their case and determine the extent of charges against him. Absolutely someone who needed to be put away. Everything in policy said they were entitled to it, but the person who normally furnishes it was constantly out with all manner of excuses. I finally got sick of putting it off, stalling them, making excuses for her. I pulled the info myself and sent it. That didn't break any laws or policy, but they decided to sack me for it because I'd overstepped. But I'd do it again.
