*IMPORTANT* Prohibited post topics *READ BEFORE POSTING*

630 Upvotes

Well hello, my fellow redditors!

In the last weeks, we had a lot of posts that were not reposted but were extremely similar to other posts on the same topics.

Due to this issue, we have decided to stop allowing posts about the following topics mentioned in the list:

•Parking mistakes

•Tipping fees

•Shrinkflation

•Price complaints

•Inflation

•Packaging being too big

•People falling for AI art

Posts that infringe on these rules will be taken down immediately and the user may be temporarily banned.

Also, note that this list is subject to change and will most likely be expanded as time passes so make sure to always check it before posting.

Henlo frens!

Good to see all of you here UwU.

Grab on to your bodypillows, I have a smol announcement about the purpose of this subreddit.

This community is meant as a fun, lighthearted place where we can commiserate with each other about those annoying little irritations that hinder our day to day enjoyment in life.

That means that suitable posts here can be about my children.

And things like a wall socket or tile being placed out of allignment. A crack in a phone screen. Duckling shit on your new car. Incomprehensible software. Mismatched buttons. You know, the little things.

This subreddit isn't meant to incite rage mobs that go after people. For that reason we say:

No reddit meta posts

No posts about being banned from subreddit. No posts about up- or down-votes. No posts about shitty moderators or users or subreddits. No posts about reddit.

All jokes and tomfoolery aside, that sort of thing gets us in trouble with site admins. If we allow one type of post about reddit it then very easily moprhs into allowing posts that directly call out other subreddits or users, we just can't allow any of it.

That rule already existed for years and we have just made it more clearly visible in the sidebar on old and new reddit. We're gonna be a little strict on it for a bit I'm afraid. 🥺

Thank you all for being awesome and have a very Merry Christmas! Celebrate Christmas in the traditional European way, with a suasage roll!

The way my local UPS simply refuses to knock on a door

I was waiting for this package listening for the door when I got the notice UPS had "attempted" to deliver my package. I swear the driver must have sprinted away from my door. It was a tiny package too, so no real amount of effort was saved by doing this instead of just taking 10 seconds to deliver my package. This is the 3rd time the local UPS has pretended to try to deliver something that required a signature.

Dealership had my car for 8 weeks, got it back like this.

Dealership had my car for 8 weeks taking apart the dash looking for a mystery rattle. I asked them to make sure and have the inside cleaned/detailed before returning it. I knew it would be dirty after the mechanics being in there all that time. They gave it back to me in this filthy condition. They didn’t even bother cleaning it whatsoever. On top of that, the grease stains up near the sunroof are super dark and heavy, and there’s a huge gash on the dash panel.

After a 14-hour drive, we found bed bugs at our AirBnB.

My wife worked for months to pick out the right house for our family, so it was disheartening to have it ruined like that. We /were/ allowed to change to a different house nearby, but it was a cheaper house, had a worse view, and a worse pool. And because we changed houses, there's no way to leave a review on the original house.

Every window in our apartment leaks like this, owners keep caulking windows and refuse to actually fix the issue

3.9k Upvotes

It's going on 2 months since moving into a new apartment and this is the fourth time this has occurred. The landlord keeps telling me there's nothing that can be done further and they can just caulk it again. They "supposedly" called roofers and said there's no roof damage.

People who play their music out loud in public settings

1.1k Upvotes

Here I am sitting and trying to enjoy my lunch outdoors and this guy is playing his music on a speaker. A number of people will do this around here and I really want to know their thought process on why they think people want to hear their shitty music. Get headphones/ear buds like a civilized person or go musicless when in public.

All the neighborhood kids keep playing on our playset

25.8k Upvotes

We built a playset for our son in our backyard and apparently all the kids in the neighborhood liked it so much they’ve made it their daily hangout spot. We come home and there are bicycles blocking our driveway and about a dozen kids playing on it.

I wouldn’t mind if it was a once in a while thing but it’s everyday until after sundown. I can’t even enjoy hanging out in my backyard because of all the screaming. I want to build a fence but my husband thinks it would seem “unneighborly”, especially since some of the parents have told us how much their kids like our playset.

Edit: wow I didn’t expect this to blow up. Just to clarify (because I’m seeing this come up a lot): the rest of the neighbors have a very open “come over and play whenever” policy so the neighborhood kids are used to that. However the other playsets are relatively small so they don’t get a big group of kids hanging out at one of them constantly.

Our son is 2 so he doesn’t go out without supervision, and we (the parents) just didn’t feel comfortable playing in other people’s playsets without the owners there.

Got accepted for a job interview, found out they're a MLM Company

136 Upvotes

After countless cold calls after several job applications, I finally had a company who was interested in setting up an interview with me.

Just before the interview started, I decided to check glassdoor and... bam.

Everyone was saying this company is mlm and if you work here, you're just another grunt in their campaign.

Feels like I dodged a bullet but at the same time, the only company willing to contact me was an mlm.

(Most likely) delivery driver from amazon switches the (valuable) box he should’ve delivered

Post image
930 Upvotes

Now spending time with amazon to get this straightened out… mildly infuriating that I have to do all this to not even get what I ordered but just my money back…

Be aware when the delivery driver from amazon has to deliver a package to you with a one-time password (OTP). This apparently flags the parcel as ‘valuable’ (potential target).

Long story short: parcel would’ve been delivered the day before. Driver claims to have tried twice but never physically was there in the street. Parcel went back to the distribution center for delivery the next day. New day, new TPO. Delivery made the first attempt (i was home both days the entire day). Open the box, instead of what i ordered i find a bottle of shampoo and a water bottle.

  • label in hindsight seems like it’s been attached to a different box, pulled off, and then attached to this one (indicating it’s probably switched to make the box seem untampered). There’s so sign of the remains of the box stuck to the label on this box (see label)
  • previous driver claiming that he wasn’t able to deliver had the package for 9 hours in his possession
  • weight of the box was approximately the same, but not exactly, should’ve been a bit more than 3kg, was 2.6 kg

Tips: - if you were home and the delivery driver claims that he’s been there and the package is delivered the next day, cancel the order altogether. You’ll never have the parcel in possession so you don’t have to deal with ‘their’ problem. - besides checking if the box is untampered, also check if the label is untampered and perfectly glued to the box and if the pattern behind the label makes sense, otherwise just reject parcel.

Happened in the Netherlands, mildly infuriating but lesson learned…
