Anti-Tax Advocate Gets Schooled After Tweeting ‘How Republicans Are Born’

Front desk executives are trained in more than just grooming, etiquette, and bookkeeping—they're also skilled in handling difficult customers. While many complaints are routine, some can be so intense that they leave the staff emotionally drained. In June 2021, a Reddit user posted in the r/MaliciousCompliance group about a particularly entitled customer. The guest insisted she had a reservation on a floor that didn’t exist and demanded to be taken there.

There’s always some level of generational bickering, and lately, it’s been between Baby Boomers and Millennials. Boomers claim Millennials are entitled, which is ironic since Millennials were raised by Boomers.

Meanwhile, Millennials argue that Boomer selfishness has contributed to a world where it's harder for younger generations to thrive.

No matter who's right, the reality is that Millennials are on far shakier financial ground than their parents.

Renting an apartment in New York—and many other cities—has become a daunting challenge, especially for young adults trying to secure affordable housing. Even the tiniest spaces come with sky-high price tags, making it hard for many to find a decent place to live. Recently, real estate agent Omer Labock (@omerlabock) gave viewers a glimpse of a New York apartment that left them stunned. While the interiors didn’t win everyone over, the apartment's layout was certainly unique. Most people expect at least a bedroom, kitchen, and living room, but this place was designed differently.

Teaching is one of the toughest jobs. Educators craft detailed curricula, teach complex concepts, and often act as unofficial psychologists for their students. Despite their hard work, they are often underpaid. Statistics show that many teachers in the US face low wages and heavy workloads. One fourth-grade teacher, Kyle Cohen (@mr.kylecohen), has gained attention for highlighting this issue.

Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali once said, "I don't trust someone who is nice to me but rude to the waiter because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position." But all customers do not think this way and many of them are entitled and outright rude while interacting with restaurant staff. When Lee Skeet (@leeskeet) came to know that one of his servers was mistreated by a wealthy customer, he responded with a comeback email clearly stating, “Never come back to my restaurant,” which was appreciated by people on social media.

According to Investopedia, skrinkflation "is the practice of reducing the size of a product while maintaining its sticker price. Raising the price per given amount is a strategy employed by companies, mainly in the food and beverage industries, to stealthily boost profit margins."

We experience this every day when we look at products we've bought for years and become suspicious that they're getting smaller.

For aspiring authors, submitting their work can be a nerve-wracking experience. Often, manuscripts end up discarded, with a rejection letter arriving at the door shortly after. Rejections are always tough for writers trying to hone their craft, but few compare to the brutal rejection letter sent in October 1928. A snapshot of this harsh letter was shared on X by Letters of Note (@lettersofnote) in December 2017, and it has since been viewed by thousands.

This brutal letter was addressed to aspiring poet F.C. Meyer, who lived on Walls Street in Katoomba. The rejection came from Angus & Robertson Ltd., a major Australian publisher for over 100 years. Delivered with ruthless precision, it read: “Dear Sir, No, you may not send us your verses, and we will not give you the name of another publisher. We hate no rival publisher sufficiently to ask you to inflict them on him. The specimen poem is simply awful. In fact, we have never seen worse.”

Teachers strive to care for their students, often stretching beyond the classrooms. Each teacher has their own way of giving to students but it's no secret that kids love a pizza party more than anything. These parties usually look like lots of games and fun activities while students snack on pizza slices, chips, candies, cookies, and soda. These pizza parties often end up becoming core memories for kids. A person recently criticized school pizza parties stating that most kids often got just one slice of pizza and a small one at that. X user @dondadaNYC highlighted a key issue with blindly criticizing the pizza parties, pointing out that these small pizza parties often came from the teacher’s pocket.
