50 People Who Weren’t Afraid To Call Out The Jerks They Saw In Public (New Pics)
We learn to be considerate at an early age. When someone is sleeping on the couch, we go by them on our tiptoes. When someone is crying, we comfort them. When we see a piece of trash on the sidewalk, we pick it up.
Yet not everybody does that, and this list is about the people who don't. They are what we would call selfish and inconsiderate. Or, to put it more plainly – being jerks. These pics are brought to you by the folks who weren't afraid to call them and their jerk behavior out, but they all beg the question: why would you do this?!?

Cyclists Riding On Road, Next To Bike Lane. I Hate These Cyclists That Take Up Space On The Road When They Have A Solid Bike Lane Next To Them
Happens quite a lot here, and it annoys me. Like I could understand if the bike lane was on the opposite side of the road as you, but it is right there... and where I live, there's a barrier to keep you semi-safe in case of a vehicular accident... USE THE LANE
Yes. I live in Canada. Same problem. Entitled bikers riding beside bike lane, making traffic low down. They cry when you hit one...
Load More Replies...Do you see that child ahead of them? And the cyclist coming at them? They are part of a pace line, going up to 25mph. There was no way to keep their pace and safely pass that child without running into the oncoming cyclist. Stopping suddenly is dangerous for cyclists who wear shoes that are clipped into their pedals, especially for the middle and last person cycling because the lead can't always signal in time that they are slowing down. These three cyclists were doing the exact thing they were supposed to be doing. Safely passing without causing harm to others or themselves.
And obey the traffic lights. Everyone else needs to. You are not that special.
A recent study in the UK showed that somewhere near 20% of people on bikes break the rules of the road, around 80% of people driving break the rules. People driving cars are not that special.
Load More Replies...We have the same here in France. Ha, real sportive cyclists go on the road the bike lane is for amateurs /s
I asked a bike courier if I could drive my SUV in the bike lane since he took up an entire traffic lane for himself. "The bike lane is too slow," he shouted. "The lanes for cars are even slower. I want to go faster too." He had a full meltdown in CVS. In Boston bike riders do not have to follow the rules of the road, it is a free for all. Across the river in Cambridge, everyone must follow the same rules and bicyclists are given tickets. Boston wanted to rated as a top city for bicyclists.
Ridiculous. The bike lane is there for everyone's safety. Why do you want to increase your chances of being hit by two tons of metal when there's a bike lane right there!
Ask a cyclist, if you ever speak to one, what a right hook is.

Went Hiking And Came Across The Aftermath Of A Gender Reveal

Load More Replies...Remember the story about the couple who did their gender reveal by a waterfall and ended up poisoning the people in the village below the fall who depended on that source for their water? When did gender reveal become a thing anyway? And why? It make no sense to me.
If I remember correctly, the creators of the gender reveal were a couple that had a lot of trouble conceiving and many, many miscarriages. In their case, I believe their celebration was celebrating the woman getting past the first trimester and actually having hope that ‘hey, this one might actually make it, let’s learn the gender so we can get more attached to this special little survivor!’. But then the inconsiderates went viral with it.
Load More Replies...Let's not forget that one of these almost burned down a significant stretch of the West Coast.

The paradoxon of modern times: Everyone is free to be genderfluid or to choose the gender that feels right- and yet future parents are hysterical about the gender of their newborn. it just don't matter ( or it shouldn't at least in a social or political way) ,even more when babyrooms aren't blue or pink but beige today.

If This Is How You Treat A Fitting Room You’re A Jerk
They usually have racks outside to hang stuff you're not going to buy. Too lazy I guess.
If you tell that to these types of people, they will inevitably say "it's the salespersons job." (worked at a Nordies way back when and have been told, "oh well, it is your job to clean it up."

in SA you get given a tag with a number on it. The tag is about hand-sized. The number represents the quantity of items. You are limited to max 3-5 items each visit to the change room. When you leave there's a grumpy lady who wants her tag back. If you aren't carrying the items you're expected to hand them back to her to hang up again.
They don't need new stuff, just go home and clean your room, I'm willing to bet they already have stuff there, in their own mess. I know their room looks like this too
"Treat others as you would want them to treat you" is the timeless golden rule. And it's not just a famous saying – most people actually do expect others to behave like they do themselves. A 2023 study found that selfish people punish generosity and reward selfish behavior. And, in turn, generous people tend to reward generous behavior.
"If everyone around me is selfish, then I'm going to learn to accept selfishness and behave accordingly," one of the study's authors, Paul Bogdan, Ph.D., commented on his and colleagues' findings. "We show that your judgments of other people's behavior really depend on how you behave yourself."

A Bunch Of San Francisco Students Wrote 2023 Reflections On Plates And Smashed Them In A Public Dog Park
Come on, San Fran students (and everybody else), there’s a better way to do this if you still want to be ritualistic about it. My (very small) Latvian social circle writes down things we want at New Year’s Eve and then burns our little pieces of paper in the house’s fireplace.

Now every time I go to a retail store I see this every where, people don't give a single s h it about others especially working class people.
Might not have been deliberate. Can't say I have never been 2 blocks away and then realized I did not have my drink.
So annoying. I think all these jerks need to spend some time in retail and see how much fun it is to clean up after others!
The researchers also found that people didn't give in to social pressure when it came to punishing either generosity or selfishness. Participants were guided by their own behavior rather than the pressure to conform. As the co-author of the paper Professor Florin Dolcos explained, we filter information about the world through our own filter.
The study also proves that we are drawn towards people who are more like us. As the participants offered to split a pot of money with each other, those who would give generous offers tended to accept offers from like-minded folks. And those who put their well-being first preferred to share the money with more selfish individuals.
Gee Whiz, I Sure Hate Being Able To See Anything At All While Driving At Night So Thanks For Illuminating My Visibility To Zero!

While no picture can capture the essence of this somehow not illegal car lights, I feel like the literal twinkle streaks is a good indicator.

we i was younger my parents took me and my best friend to a britney spears concert. if i remember correctly it was her "oops i did it again" tour. we had pretty good seats and could see the stage clearly. now my friend was short for our age and the guy infront of her seat decided to stand up with his daughter on his shoulders completely blocking my friends view. my dad decided to say something but the guy wouldnt listen. my dad ended up getting security and the guy was forced to remain seated during the rest of the concert. the security guy stood at the edge of our row keeping an eye on him. after the concert the guy tried picking a fight with my dad but security noticed and escorted him and his family out of the stadium. bc of her dads actions he didnt get to buy her a shirt. me and my mom did tho. we saw the little girl and her mom yelling at him in the parking lot. me my parents and my friend all walked up to the little girl and gave her a shirt. i remember her eyes lighting up and my dad asking her if she enjoyed the concert and gave her a little head pat and said u deserve a tshirt too. as we were walking away the little girl was all smiles and giggles while her mother just yelled at the father saying how thats the way a father should act pointing back at us. fast forward to high school during one of my track meets a girl from one of the other schools comes up to asking me if i happened to go to a britney spears concert wen i was younger. i said yes and she told me she only asked bc my face looked familiar. turns out she was the little girl we gave the shirt to. she was a freshman and i was a junior. after the track meet she took me back to where her parents were and funny enough my parents were right infront of them. we noticed this and just started laughing. we go to our parents and the look on her dads face wen he saw my dad was priceless. her mom however picked up on wat was going on and was kind and gave my parents a friendly hello and started chatting about the concert. her dad stayed completely silent and frozen lol. i learned that her dad has felt bad about that for all those years and was trying to make up for it since. me and her r still friends to this day. she always mentions how happy she was that day bc of our kindness. i remember her telling me about how even she scolded her dad on the way home bc he made my friend upset and stopped her from having fun. never block someones view at a concert its just rude and u never kno who is sitting behind u. could b a total jerk or could b someone like my dad. unless others r standing dont b that jerk.

If You Are The Type Of Person To Blast Your Own Dj Set At The Beach, No One Likes You

I go to the beach to soothe my crippling anxiety with the sound of the waves...I just walk up the beach further if there's music but I have to say....I walk away thinking I don't think I would be friends with those ppl.
The ego on that dude! To think the entire beach would be fine listening to your carp, instead of the peace and quiet they probably went for..

Come Out Of The Grocery Store To This Car On The Right
Call the cops. He deserves to get towed. He can walk home but at least he can walk.
I have a friend who lost her leg due to an IED when we were deployed. We were going to a movie or something and this jerk in a corvette (no disabled plates/placard) pulls into the handicapped parking place right in front of her. Now we know there are people with invisible disabilities… but she told him that he didn’t have the right tags. He said “you’re young sweetheart. And you shouldn’t be using driving your dad’s car with those plates.” (Note, she often removes her leg – top of her knee down – to drive sometimes.) She opens her car door and hops out, waving the leg, yelling is “THIS ENOUGH OF A HANDICAP FOR YOU?!?!” I’ve never seen a middle-aged man move so fast to get out of her way.
What a jerk. Good for your friend. Thank her for serving.

Some Idiot Ruined A Bruce Lee Painting In My City
And here we see the clear difference between two art styles that technically fall under the word graffiti/street art. One that is artistic, skillful and clearly took some time to make, and the other who is just quick messy tag in the putpose of vandalising. I don't mind the first one at all.
If someone commissioned the artist to create the Bruce Lee painting, it's not graffiti. It's impossible to tell just by looking at it.
Load More Replies...Art is subjective. Paint a large c**k & balls over the top of their tag.
I don't know elsewhere but in France there is an unwritten rule in the graff world where it is strictly forbidden to graff on another graff. It's very respected and I saw some cities use that rule by asking some talented graffers to come and paint on buildings or even protective fences, just to be sure they would have some nice painting and not vandalism. So far it works ! So in France at least, this would be considered a real crime.
There's a difference between a wall mural, graffiti and vandalism. This is just bad vandalism.
the same thing was done to a beautiful animals and bldgs around the world mural in my city :(
Indian Red Boy from an opposing gang vandalized a mural of Nipsey Hustle. It was put up after his death in Nipsey's neighborhood after he was killed. IRB was in NH's territory to see a girl and was sitting in his parked car on IG live with Kapone, another friend from his gang. Someone walked up and shot him multiple times, while he was LIVE and the whole time it showed him dying. It was taken down from YouTube but you can still find it online. If you're in the US then you need to watch where and what you "Tag" because, if you do it in known gang territory, that s**t can get you killed. The bigger the city, the more gangs there are in the inner city/urban areas, places like L.A, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, New Orleans, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Albuquerque/El Paso, etc. are the absolute worst, but this s**t is Nationwide. Basically, if you aren't from that area, then do NOT tag s**t, because its not worth pissing off someone and dying over.

So, if altruism and generosity are natural to us and benefit us more economically, why do we act like jerks? Psychologist Lisa Marie Bobby says that such behavior is a sign of low emotional intelligence. "One symptom of low emotional intelligence is the tendency to be self-absorbed, or exclusively concerned about what you're thinking, feeling, needing and wanting, instead of the thoughts, feelings, needs and desires of others."

Bobby explains that such behavior is often the product of upbringing. Those whose emotional needs weren't met in their formative years might grow up to be selfish and inconsiderate as adults. Those who are empathetic as adults, in contrast, grow up with their thoughts and feelings reflected back to them. "Thoughtful and compassionate people are not born, they're made," she observes.

Aisle At My Local Thrift Store
The toy aisle at Thrifts always seems to be like that. God forbid we teach our kids to put stuff back. Mostly it seems to be kids left unattended to wreak havoc while the parents shop the rest of the store.,
As a worker in a Goodwill, please mind your children! There's a very high risk of broken glass!
Load More Replies...I caught my, normally super sweet, kid doing something very rude in a store. I made him apologize to the store owner. Honestly, being polite with others, especially in stores or restaurants, is very important to me. Maybe I went too far, but I'm damn sure he learned his lesson and I'm proud he made it right.
I’m 64, and I remember going to stores with my parents when I was a kid, back in the mid to late sixties, and seeing toy aisles looking like someone had thrown a hand grenade in them, just like this one. So this isn’t a new problem. It’s also why my parents, who had four very energetic boys before I (the baby and only girl) came along, three of them born only two years apart, did not just park me in the toy section and go off to shop without me. They had me with them the entire time. They later told me it was to keep me safe. They said an unattended child whose parents are “somewhere” is way more of an easy mark for someone with bad intentions than a child whose parents are right there with them. We all now know they were right.
This is why at our store we never announce a lost child. Instead, we secure the doors and control who leaves until the parents and kids are reunited.
Load More Replies...I saw this kind of thing at a Big Lots once, apparently the parents just turned their vermin loose in the toy department and wandered off.

I work at a thrift store and I can confirm this is an almost daily problem.

IT'S A DAMN SAFETY HAZARD. Some parents will even stand there watching their kids make a mess and then not make the kid clean it up when they leave.

The Manager Would Throw Away Cookies Every Saturday Instead Of Giving Them To The Employees
We threw away 55 cookies. The managers didn't let us take any home because they thought it might "encourage us to purposely make extra".
This came to mind. seinfeld-george.gif
(Can't they just do, say, 100 per day. Then there is always a set number? Damn management!)
I'd like to point out that the chick-fil-a near me has a line for the homeless to get the unsold food from the day, it depends on the manager/owner, not the franchise as a whole, also, charity is one of the heavenly virtues so...
Load More Replies...I worked in a fancy expensive pizza restaurant once that was obsessed with being “authentic” - most ingredients extremely high quality, imported from Italy etc. Before the restaurant had its grand opening, they trained us cooks on the menu. We were NOT ALLOWED to eat the messed-up pizzas because mgmt said that would encourage us to mess up for free food. At the end of the day, I had to throw out 3 garbage bags FULL of extremely expensive pizzas, just because they weren’t cut evenly or slightly overcooked. It was painful, there were a lot of homeless folks in the area and it would have been amazing to donate them.

When evaluating our own selfishness, our memory often works against us. As research by the psychologists at Yale University and the economists at the University of Zurich shows, we tend to misremember our selfish deeds. That way, we maintain our self-image. "The desire to preserve a moral self-image can be a powerful force and not only motivate us to rationalize our unethical actions, but also 'revise' such actions in our memory," senior author of the study Molly Crockett said.
Motorcycle Always Parks On Sidewalk
Every morning the sidewalk is blocked by a motorcycle. The SUV on the left has lots of passive aggressive stickers, this family has made motorcycling their identity and can’t be bothered to park their bike on the street or in their driveway.
We then walk baby and stroller into the street to get around.

You know what would be to loud? Me hoovering at 8am and again at 12pm and so on every couple of hours
My upstairs neighbors DO have a toddler that constantly runs around. In addition they walk like they're wearing lead shoes and practicing for a clogging competition. I call them The Stompersons. And you know what I do?? Nothing! (OK, well I sometimes I groan and roll my eyes) But it would never occur to me to call the police. You only call them when you need actual help.
My mom watches/teaches my three year old nephew twice a week. I work from home on one of those days and nap during my “lunch”. She tries to keep the running to a minimum, but I know that’s not always possible. I nap on my side and put a pillow over my other ear (they live above me). I can understand how it would be very irritating though as a constant occurrence. Edit: have you talked to them?
Load More Replies...I had this exact same thing! The guy even screamed at me when I opened the door with my toddler on my hip. He went a long way to try and prove my floor was illegal, but alas, the douche only discovered that my floor was twice as soft as was legally required. It just was an old building.
I moved to a single-story apartment that shared ONE wall with the neighbors. I kid you not, all you could hear for hours and hours on end was thumpthumpthump from the 4 year old next door as she ran through her apartment. From 6am to 1 in the morning. It almost drove me crazy and no, it wasn't some little noise. It was someone standing next to you beating a loud drum constantly. I'd like to think she slept while I was at work, but weekends were equally annoying. Add to that, kiddie toys all over the shared lawns (I'd have to kick them out of the way going down the sidewalk), the kid and her friends always in my yard, kicking the door and turning on my water, and leaving their c**p all over my steps (I eventually started throwing it out), I left as soon as my 6 month lease was up. Let's be clear here - this wasn't the kid's fault. It was a complete lack of parenting from her parents.
That reminds of when I was in Grade 2. I lived in a townhouse next to a little boy who loved to bang on a toy drum at bedtime every night, while my mom read me stories. Drove me nuts.
Load More Replies...Yeah.....they because they probably are. My parents moved into an apartment in Houston, on the ground floor. The upstairs neighbor has small kids.....who would run up and down the stairs, all around the apartment and what sounded like diving off furniture or smashing things mindlessly into the floor (which was our CEILING) all hours of the day and night. That $hit would go on for HOURS at a stretch, often in THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. That you have a child doesn't mean you get to be an inconsiderate PoS.
Okay, I get it. You take a picture of a spot with carpet and think that shows, it just cant be too loud. Well, no, it doesn't. Some Toddlers just stomp around like a jumping elephant family (I know elephants can't jump) so maybe just stop being selfish and try to see the other side too. Lucky me moved to a house to avoid loud neighbours, but they can be hell.
If you live among other humans, you'll have things that annoy you about them. Gotta move where it's best for you and let it slide off you the best you can.

I have seen neighbors in my former neighborhood do this with plants and then claim it wasn't them even with video capturing them doing it. Their reasoning was they were allergic to the plant and did like it being so close to their home. They lived two streets over.
Other researchers say that we ought to cut selfish folks some slack. Oftentimes, their behavior is the result of past mistreatment and betrayal. "We are quick to judge people and label them, especially when they behave in a way that appears unacceptable to us," Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, says. "Maybe that person who cut you off in traffic, that customer who was rude to you, or that nitpicky colleague has more going on in their life than meets the eye."
Because It's Someone Else's Job To Clean Up. Rather Than Believe That You Should Use The Trash Cans Located Throughout The Facility. Bring It In, Bring It Out
In our cinemas a member of staff with a big garbage bag waits at the exit after the movie, so you can just drop it there when you leave. Absolutely no excuse to leave seats like this (however, I have no idea how well it works).
that only works if the people care. I read a story online, which I believe to be bullsh*t by the way, where the first a**hole just dumped his stuff in front of the employees feet. so far, so believable. But then EVERY other person after him just did the same, completely ignoring the employees garbage bag. and that´s where the story became unbelievable.

Went to the theatre on Tuesday - 95% of people took their trash with them as ushers were at the exits with bags. Sadly 5% of people ARE the trash.
My first job was cleaning a movie theater after hours. This is what every theater looked like, every night. At no time did any of us think "why did they leave this here?". This was the job. It didn't bother us. I'm not saying that people shouldn't clean up after themselves. Just that this sort of thing was considered normal in a movie theater.
The fact that it has become normal doesn't make it any less douchebag behavior.

Literally Watched My Uber Drive By Without Stopping. The Ride Was Cancelled By The Driver & I Was Sent This
I once had an uber driver who didn’t like that me girlfriend was sick, tried to ditch us on the highway, and when I threatened to call the cops he took us home, followed us on foot and then threw a brick in my window. He charged us 50 euros, Uber did not a single thing after my complaint, not even a refund
Load More Replies...Uber is a scam. The company credo is "Fúck the law. We dare you to stop us." And their completely undisguised intent is to put local taxi services out of business.
Load More Replies...I once hired an uber for clients of mine to the airport, they had cash in hand and I physically watched as they paid the driver nearly double what the trip was estimated to cost, up front. They were dropped off safely, and the uber driver did not end the trip, instead he doubled back, and racked up a fee of nearly 4 times the original estimate. I called and complained, bitterly to Uber, just to get told 1. It was an error with the App. 2. The driver said I was lying. 3. They'd resolve it. 3 months and numerous calls later, I got told the case had reached its statute of limitations and I either had to pay or I'd never be able to use Uber again. Needless to say I've not paid a damn cent and I'd rather walk than ever use Uber again.
This has happened quite a few times with me and they reversed the cancellation charges after I reported the reason
There's a reason why I don't use apps that can take money from me without my permission

I Was Dining By Myself And The Servers Took Everything When I Went To The Bathroom
I still had food coming, and they cleared everything off of the table! I mean, I left my keys on the table for exactly this reason! It sucks to eat out alone.
Been noticing this with waitstaff. They're very eager to get your order and get you out of there.
eating alone should be like this - it's the wait staff that did this...they should know you have more food coming Re order and sit down.
had something similar happen, also while dining alone. i'd put in my order & figured i'd go to the restroom a few mins later, & be back before my food arrived. Came back & my drink was gone and a new party was sitting at my table! thankfully they were able to re-seat me right away, but it was in a less desirable area (no nice view & more crowded).
If I go out and eat alone, even just a coffee & cake, I always tell someone if I'm leaving the table. I don't know how necessary it is, but it would worry me.

A few weeks ago I decided to grab some dinner with a coworker. I rarely if ever go out to eat as its so expensive these days but I finally decided to treat myself one night. My coworker ordered appetizers for herself, multiple drinks, a larger dinner and even dessert. When it came time to pay we were each going to just pay for our food but she conveniently forgot her wallet and just kinda sat there staring at me. I’m an awkward person and I really didn’t want to even cover her food in the moment because it was more than I could even afford but it was such a weird situation and she promised to pay me back so to just end the evening I covered her bill expecting to get reimbursed. Now that was weeks ago and she keep posting on insta and snapchat about going out to fancy restaurants or weekend trips but she always has an excuse when I ask to be paid back. I BARELY make a livable wage and being in the red because of her has caused me so much anxiety, I feel like such an idiot.
Well, it's a lot of hassle, but this is what small claims court is for. You could probably add exemplary & punitive damages to the claim, since it is clear that the do-worker doesn't intend to repay you. The punitive part of the claim is for the purpose of teaching her that this behavior, besides being rude, is also tortious because she has 1) acknowledge the debt, 2) promised to pay -- a contractual obligation, 3) refused to pay, and 4) by the last remark has indicated that she does not intend to repay you. A lot of hassle for you, but the judge just may find in your favor for $500 damages -- or more.
I totally agree with Harry G. Sue the jerk and hold her accountable. I had a friend who did this to me a few times. I finally dropped her from my social list. Rude and deceitful . She deserves to be called out on her BS

All of a sudden I was the worst person ever and I was being a bill collector. She ghosted me and now she has an a*s whoopin to look forward to if I ever see her again.
You're not an idiot for thinking she would pay you back, because it would be the normal thing to do. Maybe just post something on her socials that she owes you money? The chances that you will get anything back are zero I'm afraid...
Just print several copies of this conversation and stick them all over the office so that everybody can see what piece of rubbish she is.

Turn in their direction and start coughing without covering your mouth.

I just can't with this. I had my truck set up for camping. A bed in the back, a camp stove, water jug, etc. On Sundays I'd grab a newspaper and head out for the scenic overlook, back in, make some breakfast and hot cocoa, and read the paper while I enjoyed the view. Now this overlook was a line of about 30 parking spaces and I used to park way at the end. Without exception, a car going by would stop and park right next to me. Not one space over, not down on the other end, but right freaking next to me. They had the whole lot of spaces to choose and they parked right next to my truck. It wouldn't have been so bad except for the screaming kids who would spill out, run around and hang over my tailgate to watch me eat and ask for food. I even tried parking in other spaces, only to end up with a vehicle on either side of me. Thirty freaking spaces and these morons would park on each side of me.
I've seen this in other places, too. In the big empty (week night) emergency room all by myself and a family comes in with a sick, coughing kid and plops themselves down right next to me. I got up and moved and honestly, I hope I hurt their feelings enough so they don't do that again. I mean, at least sit a couple feet away. What did they want - to sit in my lap? Because they practically were. And if you come into some place and you and your kid are sick, stay way the hell away from me. You seriously think I want what you or your kid has?

Putting The Contents Of Your Bag Out So No One Can Sit Next To You
Why not? You first ask politely, and if that doesn't work, you shove it aside and sit down.

Today at the airport while waiting to board my flight, the woman one seat over had her bag on the seat between us. Fortunately, nobody needed that seat, and she wasn't saving it for anybody, but still...
I will 100% put my bag next to me on a seat if there are plenty of other seats of similar quality available. If I don't then fair chance that the coughing lady or the too-many-kids family will plop down right next to me when they could just as easily go somewhere else. I rarely sit in the "prime real estate" seats anywhere because people. I'm also very observant of my surroundings (that sounds like a positive quality, I probably should say vigilant instead 😂) and if spaces started filling up I'd move my bag in anticipation. So Ive never had anyone ask me to move my bag but am so nonconfrontational that I'd readily move it unless the asker was an obvious creeper AND there were plenty other spaces.

My lovely elderly neighbour and I have started taking each other’s packages inside and leaving a note on each other’s door. She gets expensive medication delivered, so I’ve even given her a spare key so if I’m not home she can open my door and retrieve her package from my side table. (We trust each other a lot and I wouldn’t do this with any other neighbour but she’s an angel, babysits my cats and gives me veggies from her garden 😊)
Rarely. And you can usually track your package or contact the delivery service to figure out what happened. If they lost your package, you can get compensation. If they delivered your package and then it went missing, that’s a porch pirate.

Walked Out Of Work To See This (On My Birthday No Less). If You Do This, Leave Your Info Like A Responsible Adult. C'mon Man
My husband used to live in the most dubious neighbourhood - he never felt like he fit in, and I wasn’t all too comfortable there either. But one night when I was staying over, someone smashed into my parked car at 2am, leaving very similar damage. Turns out half the neighbourhood heard the crash, physically chased the car down the road and blocked them from leaving, before forcing them to ring my then-bf’s doorbell and exchange insurance info. The neighbours’ reasoning was ‘well, you’re not one of us, but you live here, so you are part of our community’. Best reason I ever had to be woken up at 2 am, and I learned not to judge a book by its cover 😁
Once I was driving on a really tight street while trying to squint at the houses on the left for an address. I accidentally smashed my right side mirror on someone else’s car mirror because I wasn’t paying enough attention :( I pulled over and walked back to find the vehicle I hit. I walked the entire length of that street three times, but literally everyone’s mirrors were intact. Every single car was fine. But my mirror was smashed. There were no witnesses. I didn’t know what to do D: it still baffles me to this day, I even knocked at a couple houses in front of where it happened to ask if they’d seen anything. Nope. I hope beyond hope that I didn’t ruin someone’s day but I’m also still so confused about what happened. I tried my best to be responsible about it :(

Been Married 2 Weeks, Rings Got Stolen From My Apt Last Night Along With Husbands Wallet And Sunglasses. People Suck
You’re actually not supposed to sleep with rings on. Between getting tangled in clothing & sheets, it can damage what’s typically a very expensive piece of jewelry. Plus most women will wear their engagement ring & wedding band as a set, so it makes sense to take them off together than leave one on. Idk about you, but wearing a rock while sleeping usually ends up in scratches to the face when I forget it’s there and rub my eyes when I wake up. Even without the rock and just a wedding band, the metal can catch and scratch. Also advised to not wear necklaces as they can tangle and break, and you can even get special earrings that are made to be slept in as most jewelry is not suitable to sleep in

It's 9:30 PM CDT. The office doesn't open until next morning. I've already sent them an email about this. The laundromat has been locked out of nowhere for the past several months and the office hasn't been given any reason why they're locked other than maintenance. I set a timer on my phone when I need to pick up my laundry from the washer or the dryer and this is what happens when I'm a few minutes too late I guess.
That's easy to break. Although apparently there's a camera. So give it the finger while you do it. ;)
I'm seriously asking, wouldn't it be better to buy a washing machine? here in Europe, in most countries, it is unthinkable to walk around with laundry and wait for the washing to finish. it's easier to throw it in the washer/dryer at home, while both the machine and we do our work
In my country, a washer and dryer can run you back several thousand dollars. Not everyone has several thousand dollars to spend, or the space in their apartments, or the proper water hookups for the washing machine, or the money for the higher utility bills. But a load of laundry costs like $4 (in my area) and a lot more people have $4 to spend than $2,000.

Why do councils waste money on glass bus stops? Heck it could be the glass provider driving up more business just as easily as a vandal imo
for once - they want the bus driver to be able to see people inside the bus stop. Secondly, they don't want to create secluded spaces where nobody outside can see what happens inside, and if you've ever been molested in one of the brick ones, you're happy about the glass.

Real leather is 100% authentic leather made from animal hides, such as full grain leather or top grain leather. Genuine leather is a lower grade, which often includes only a small percentage of authentic leather"

Amazon Driver Wrote On My Porch Railing With A Sharpie
I was not home but saw the Amazon driver looking around to confirm my house number from my Ring camera. I live in a townhouse and the house numbers are only on our garage doors. My garage door happened to be up at the time of delivery. Apparently once he confirmed my address (maybe with a neighbor or by looking at the order of homes next to mine), he took it upon himself to use a sharpie and write (vandalize?) my house number on my porch railing in permanent blue sharpie.
Come on, man.
Hopefully I can find a way to get it off.

Not ideal, I know, and extremely embarrassing, but he was part wolf and I was 10 years old.
