We may be a few years away from a complete robot takeover of the world, but now we know that when it happens, the descendants of these creepy-ass, bolt-sucking electricity munchers will be able to replace you and your family while making full and completely realistic eye contact. Go back to EPCOT you future-snatching wire-men.

I have no idea what I'm doing. But we spent the next few sessions removing all the dumb violations from most of the neighbors. We went through the by-laws to really focus on what's

Cringey Brain-Lords Trying Way Too Hard to Seem Intelligent

Being able to squawk about your perceived achievements and intelligence is one of the unfortunate byproducts of social media.

Woman Puts Birthday Hat On Neighbor's Year Old Pumpkin

Spooky season inspires all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. With that being said, we can't say that we've ever encountered this kind of situation, involving one person wanting to put a birthday hat on their neighbor's pumpkin. It is a pretty dang petty move that could go on to inspire a full-fledged war between the neighbors.

I share a porch with one neighbor, who is notorious for not cleaning up after herself or her kids. For example, one time there was a broken longboard sitting right in front of their door that they would step over every day to get into their unit. For 7 months, they just ignored it, until one day I asked the oldest kid (15M) to please clean it up. He's a good

Text - Now, I know I could have cleaned it up myself, but I don't want to assume that they didn't want it (idk, maybe it had sentimental value??) Plus I constantly clean up the shared porch. Throwing away trash, picking up cigarette butts, sweeping, clearing cobwebs... I have known her to sweep the porch all of one time in the 6 years she has lived there. Last year (October 2019) I bought several small sugar pumpkins and placed them on my porch next to my jack-o-lanterns. After Halloween, I thre

Text - Well, it's now been a year and the pumpkin is still there. It is NASTY. It looks like it has practically melted into the porch. She has put Halloween decorations all around it, and still hasn't cleaned it up. I think it's gross, but left it there on principle, because I am tired of cleaning up after a grown woman. We work opposite shifts now, so I never see her. I also don't have her phone number because she is constantly changing it. I was thinking of leaving her a note asking her to ple

First and foremost - I hope this satisfies your appetites, you animals! This is the infamous pumpkin. I included her flower pot for size comparison. Now, to answer a few questions: We live in a condo complex with an HOA. Our units are owned by separate people, and I don't have a way to contact the owner of her unit. I also do

Text - The kids are 17M and 15F; the longboard incident was a few years ago. The kids are not in danger or neglect that I can tell; they are happy, healthy teenagers. I will not be calling CPS or DFS on her. She is a slob, yes, but she is not a hoarder (from what I can tell from the front door, at least, and her back balcony) and does not appear to have any debilitating mental illnesses. Both my husband and I have talked to her in the past about keeping the shared space clean. This has not chang

Text - We don't have a bad relationship, but I wouldn't say we are friends. It's more just friendly chit chat when we run into each other in the parking lot. She is generally a pretty easy going person but tends to act immaturely for her age (and yes I know that putting a party hat on a pumpkin isn't exactly the pinnacle of maturity). • I am not out there cleaning religiously. Thank you for your concern about my supposed OCD, but I promise you, I'm not some sort of crazy neat freak by any means.

Text - The pumpkin doesn't smell (which tbh I don't understand how???) but it is unsightly. I have not noticed any insects or vermin thankfully. • My husband doesn't care enough to clean it up, he just thinks the whole thing is funny, although gross. However I know if I asked him to clean it up he would, but I'm not going to ask him to. Why does it bother me so much? Well first off, it's not THAT big of a deal to me. I'm not going to die on a hill of pumpkins. I'm not simmering in rage every tim

Text - This post has given me lots to think about in terms of conflict resolution. Honestly, I'm thinking I will probably just clean it up myself and then talk to her about it next time I see her (whenever that is...) because l'm not trying to cause any tension. But I'm also thinking I need to have a little photoshoot with the pumpkin to give it a proper send-off and birthday celebration. Stay tuned folks - l'll update in the next few days. 18.4k 849 1 Share

Quick Tumblr Post On Cursed Alchemy

The jury's out on whether or not this one is real. From what we were able to find out about the transmutation process for lead being converted into gold, it just sounds like something that would be costly and completely illogical to do.

Lousy Sales Assistant Lies About Leads, Gets Outed

Some people are just impossible to work with. Not only was this assistant just straight up lousy at their job, but they continually ratted out their teammate for not being exactly on time, when they worked at a place that didn't even care about that to begin with. Well, eventually this all came back to bite them in the butt, and they were exposed breaking a much more serious rule in the sales game.

This assistant also created their own "lead card" and "tracking system" which completely sucked and crap fell through all the time. Furthermore about half of all contact details provided didn't actually work. But what really irked me the

Entitled Influencer Expects Free Lodging, Owner Shuts Her Down

Man oh man, these entitled human beings and their unyielding series of demands just keep on coming out of the woodwork. It seems as if it'll never end. We'll always have the next person ready to ruin an otherwise reasonable and peaceful series of negotiations with nothing short of pure delusional entitlement. In this case, we have an influencer who expects free accommodations in exchange for offering the hotel some exposure. Let's just say she was not nearly established enough for that to even be within the realm of consideration.

Text - My partner and I are planning to come to Dublin for an early Valentines Day weekend from Feb 8th - 12th to explore the area. As I was searching for places to stay, I came across your stunning hotel and would love to feature you in my YouTube videos/dedicated Instagram stories/posts to bring traffic to your hotel and recommend others to book up in return for free accommodation. Last year I worked with Universal Orlando in Florida and it's been amazing for them! Let me know if this is somet

3. And then, here comes the boom from a fed up owner.

Text - The White Moose Café WHE MOO 16 January 2018 * Dear Social Influencer (I know your name but apparently it's not important to use names), Thank you for your email looking for free accommodation in return for exposure. It takes a lot of balls to send an email like that, if not much self-respect and dignity.

Text - If I let you stay here in return for a feature in your video, who is going to pay the staff who look after you? Who is going to pay the housekeepers who clean your room? The waiters who serve you breakfast? The receptionist who checks you in? Who is going to pay for the light and heat you use during your stay? The laundering of your bed sheets? The water rates? Maybe I should tell my staff they will be featured in your video in lieu of receiving payment for work carried out while you're i

Text - Lucky for us, we too have a significant social media following. We have 186k followers on our two Facebook pages, an estimated 80k on our Snapchat, 32k on Instagram and a paltry 12k on our Twitter, but Jesus Christ, I would never in a million years ask anyone for anything for free. I also blog a bit which as far as I'm aware is another way of saying "write stuff on the internet". The above stats do not make me any better than anyone else or afford me the right to not pay for something eve

Text - In future, l'd advise you to offer to pay your way like everyone else, and if the hotel in question believes your coverage will help them, maybe they'll give you a complimentary upgrade to a suite. This would show more self-respect on your part and, let's face it, it would be less embarrassing for you. Here is a little video | produced which you may learn from:

8. After the owner faced some backlash, they doubled down.

Text - The White Moose Café WHI MOOS 17 January 2018 - * **ALL BLOGGERS BANNED FROM OUR BUSINESS** Following the backlash received after asking an unidentified blogger to pay for a hotel room, I have taken the decision to ban all bloggers from our hotel and cafe.

Text - The sense of entitlement is just too strong in the blogging community and the nastiness, hissy fits and general hate displayed after one of your members was not granted her request for a freebie is giving your whole industry a bad name. I never thought we would be inundated with negative reviews for the simple reason that somebody was required to pay for goods received or services rendered.

10.

Text - The girl in question was never identified in my original post, but she herself went on to create a video explaining how she was "exposed" with "malicious intent" for asking for a freebie. This kind of victimization is very prevalent in the blogging industry, and is in keeping with their general modus operandi of wanting everything for nothing.

11.

Text - If any of you attempt to enter our premises from now on, you will be ejected. Many thanks, Paul Stenson www.charlevillelodge.ie P.S. Perhaps if you went out and got real jobs you'd be able to pay for goods and services like everybody else. Just a thought! 51K 7.4K comments 1.5K shares

Manager Lies To Employee, Employee Embarrasses Manager

Man, this manager sounds like a slimy, lying piece of work. They totally led their employee on with the whole commission structure, but their employee had the nerve to call them out when it all came down to it. Being able to turn that letter of resignation in right when everything came to a head must've been immensely satisfying.

Guy Makes Literal Flapjack Soup

 

This guy's energy might be very relatable for a lot of aspiring cooks and bakers out there. "Started making it, had a breakdown." It can happen to the best of us.
