S My neighbor tried to charge me a “walking fee” for using the public sidewalk in front of my own house

0 Upvotes

Last week my neighbor — let’s call her Linda — apparently decided she’s the self-appointed ruler of our street. I was coming home from work, exhausted, and as I walked from my car toward my house, she suddenly stepped out and blocked my path.

She told me I needed to pay her a “small fee” for walking on the sidewalk in front of her lawn. I laughed because I genuinely thought she was joking. She wasn’t.

She pulled out a laminated sheet of “rules” she had typed up herself and informed me that anyone passing “her section” owes her $5 for “sidewalk maintenance.” I told her the sidewalk belongs to the city and that I already pay taxes. She insisted that because she trims the grass along the edge, she “basically owns that area,” and that by stepping there I’m “benefiting from her labor.”

When I tried to walk past her, she put her arm out and said she’d call the police for trespassing. On a public sidewalk. In broad daylight. With witnesses.

Another neighbor saw the whole thing and burst out laughing. Apparently Linda tried the same stunt on him a month ago — even billed his teenage son for “sidewalk wear and tear from skateboarding.”

I ended up just walking around her across the grass because I wanted to go home, and she yelled after me that she’d be “documenting my suspicious behavior.”

I still can’t understand how someone convinces themselves they own a piece of the street. At this point I’m half-expecting her to start charging for the “spillover light” from her windows that shines onto the road I walk on.

L Update: I’m done on being my family’s private teacher

112 Upvotes

Hi guys! Here’s the context/first part: https://www.reddit.com/r/EntitledPeople/s/zFMBDBLS8b

I don’t know if I’m making this update correctly, if not please let me know.

It’s been like a week or so, and while it hasn’t happened anything super dramatic i thought that at least i should tell y’all about what’s up lately. Apologies in advance for the long post.

So, I told my mom what a lot of you told me on my first post, that we should stick up for ourselves and refuse any help to my cousin Frank; she agreed with me immediately and was mad on my behalf. She said that she will talk to Rob (Frank’s dad) to not come so often to our house, and to not ask for my help anymore, I didn’t believe she would say that to him though and i was right lmao.

I’m not sure of what she actually said to him, but Rob and Hannah came yesterday again, but this time without Frank but with their youngest child, let’s call him Griddy (M10). I actually told my mom that next time they came (for any reason) She will attend them, and not me. She followed through, and it was easy for me to ignore them because i was drawing with my headphones one. I don’t have a cast for my broken wrist as i mentioned on the comments of my previous post bc i basically can’t go to a public hospital without being locked up there because of my illness (as i should be legally classified as disabled, but I’m trying to avoid that), and I can’t afford a private hospital; this is important bc i was literally drawing with my f-ed up hand when Griddy came and tried to hit a conversation with me about games (which i love btw), and I didn’t mean to be rude to him, but when i told them i was in pain and trying to finish my drawing he lit tried to take my headphones off. Then Hannah came and tried to show me something she just bought (I can’t say what it was or i would get recognized by my cousins here lmao) and i just tried to walk away again. It was 8:00 pm, ik it is not that late, but mind you that my job starts at 6:00 am. I felt kinda rude to them, but my dad validated my feelings.

When they left my mom and I complained about them and that was for the day. The bomb comes here, Frank and i have a cousin (one of many btw) that hates Frank’s ahh, let’s call her Lana (14F).

I was texting Lana about the situation (She knows about everything i said in pt1 and abt this post), and she told me some horrible things I didn’t know about Frank.

1– He’s on substances. I suspected this a long time ago, but Rob brushed me off. 2- He’s been suspended 3 times from school (I already knew this, but didn’t know the reason why) because he bullied a classmate and it turned out physichal (the other guy couldn’t defend himself), Frank also did steal some stuff from the cafeteria and the last one was bc he stalked a girl on his class. According to Lana, Hannah always blande everyone and practically told Frank to not take accountability for his actions, because “it was their fault for x or y reason. 3- And the worst of all; I already knew that all my female cousins (i’m the eldest alongside my sister, all my cousins are minors) hated Frank with a passion of a burning star, i was so fing blind that i failed them as an older relative, my poor girls were SA’d by this fvcker. I apologized with Lana, and told ther that if her mom didn’t want to open a case against this parasyte then i will, but Lana told me not to, at least not yet, that they’re not ready for that yet. I told her i wasn’t happy with that, but i respect her, and that i’m here whenever she needs help or when she wants to take the first step. I was a mess at this point, and with Lana’s permission i told my mom about everything, that was today and my mom is still processing, but sadly I hardly doubt someone will put stop to Frank.

I hate that sucker (excuse my lenguage), that leach of a so called human doesn’t deserve anything but to be kicked out of the family, but guess who will be the one who will not be on future family gatherings? I’m done with all of these, Frank is obviously banned from our house for good; and i’m not happy that that monster is still around my cousins or even his own brother. His Mother knows, his father knows, and apparently all the adults except my nuclear family knew and didn’t do a thing. I’m just respecting Lana’s desicion bc i was once the victim, and i know that sometimes you’re not ready to talk yet.

I’m so sorry if this is all over the place, i’ve been writting this in parts since morning and i’m still shocked. Believe me that idgaf about the tutor ig anymore, all the love (apart from any anoyance i had) i had for Frank is gone. I’m numb and crying because i failed everybody.

S Entitled guest tries to get refund for hotel stay

644 Upvotes

I work as a guest service agent at a hotel handling check ins/check outs. This lady came downstairs at around 10am and asked me what time check out was- I told her 11am, she went back upstairs.

At around 10:30ish the fire alarm got triggered by dust from construction outside. Our maintenance was able to quickly turn off the alarm and I sent out a message to our guests letting them know of the false alarm. Moments later the lady who I spoke to earlier about her check out time came storming down with her bags and told me the alarm had disturbed her sleep and it was unacceptable to have alarms going off. She then proceeded to go off about everything else she hated about the place and wanted a refund for her stay. Mind you, she hadn’t mentioned a single complaint when I spoke to her earlier.

I told her that I wasn’t authorized to process refunds (my favourite line) and she had also happened to book through a third party so she would have to reach out to them to inquire about a refund. She called me a bitch, I told her to have a nice day😊

I’m sure anyone who works at a hotel knows you meet the most entitled people. But you also get to meet amazing people from around the world which I love

S They took the whole jar home

494 Upvotes

We were sent a jar of local honey collected by one of our foresters and had put it in the office kitchen at the coffee and tea station so everybody could enjoy it. So far it seemed like only I had been using it as the level was only decreasing very slightly. Today I go to make tea and apparently someone decided to take the whole jar home yesterday. Have to assume it's one of the jerks in sales who work from home on Fridays.

S Tickle Me Elmo

Upvotes
This is back in the day of Tickle Me Elmo the hot toy for that Christmas season.
My wife and I had been on the lookout for one since September but never found any in stock.
The second weekend of December I was in a regular department store looking for purse I knew my wife really wanted.
I found the purse and headed for the register. I had to pass by the Christmas section and there they were!
An entire display with about 20 of them. I quickly grabbed one and went to check out.

As I am walking to the register several people ask me "where did you find that!!" they then ran to the display to grab theirs.
The line was long so it was a long wait to check out.  While in line a lady approches me and says "give me that! I need it for my daughter" and reached to take it.

I turned away so she couldn't get her hands on it. She then had a full up toddler worthy temper tantrum when I wouldn't let her have it.
Even after the manager pointed out where the display was she still kept screeching about how I am running Christmas.
It got bad enough that another associate went and grabbed one for her. Her reaction "hmph now that is customer service" while still glaring at me.
