'You owe me': Woman's friends go through her financial documents, find out she's mega-rich and demand she pay down their $50k student loans

'You owe me': Woman's friends go through her financial documents, find out she's mega-rich and demand she pay down their $50k student loans

It's always awkward when one of your friends is super rich. Not just 'financially stable'… but rich, rich. So well off that they could buy an island or something. So this person was mega-rich, and her friends found out about it. How? Well, you know, the usual way. By her telling them. Kidding, they found out by snooping through her private documents that revealed her private financial status. They found her trust fund, and wow, was it a great trust fund… They immediately went off on her, asking…

'Invest in DVDs': 30+ Pieces of bad advice

These people thought they were getting good advice , only to realize years later how wrong the advice was. Relying on trusted friends and family members is how many people get through life. Of course, you trust the judgment of your mom or your best friend… but they aren't always right. Sometimes well-meaning bits of advice can totally miss the mark. Just because dad can dole out some advice that his father gave him in the 1970s, doesn't mean that's useful in today's day and age. Thanks, but no…

College student exposes professor's favorite for doing zero work on their group project: 'Giovanni didn't show up'

College student exposes professor's favorite for doing zero work on their group project: 'Giovanni didn't show up'

Some people are highly skilled at getting out of doing any actual work… that is, until they meet their match. We're used to seeing this dynamic play out in work environments or in certain relationship dynamics, but one of the earliest examples of this kind of flawed collaboration is the group project. Group projects don't necessarily teach you about collaboration; if anything, they teach you about how to deal with the givers and takers of this world. That is the only silver lining with a group…

‘I stuffed trash through their mail slot’: Man sends neighboring students a message by stuffing their entrance with trash following neighborly dispute

‘I stuffed trash through their mail slot’: Man sends neighboring students a message by stuffing their entrance with trash following neighborly dispute

Having noisy neighbors is bad enough, but it is even worse when those noisy neighbors are college students. The noise of college parties only, especially when you are trying to sleep, could probably get you to move out in a matter of days. Plus, trying to get those kids to stop is even harder to deal with, so you would have to suffer in silence until it is late enough to call the police. It doesn't just end in loud parties. In this Reddit story, a man who lives in a mostly student area shared a…

‘Well, you asked for it’: Professor demands blind student stick to assignment guidelines without consideration for their disability, student complies by turning in a black piece of paper

Professors in college can be divided into two personality groups. Either they couldn't care less about college or the class they are teaching, constantly missing classes and passing everyone on their test. Or, they are extremely strict and tough, with hardly any consideration for their students. Now, even without these professors, college is hard enough, so imagine having to go through college with the latter professors, while also being blind. This Reddit story was written by a Classroom Techn…

'In retrospect, I might HAVE been too harsh': Father takes making-a-point too far and gets a dose of reality when grown daughter goes no-contact

When you become a father, you are now a father 24-7 for the rest of your life. Even if you choose to ignore those duties, that is still you affecting your child as a father, a bad father, but still a father. One of the biggest struggles parents tend to have is letting their child be free to do what they want. Parents want their kids to not make the mistakes they did growing up, so they forbid them from it. But the thing is, that isn't going to stop them, especially once they are grown…

‘You are not university material’: Student gets back at guidance counselor who told her she wasn’t smart enough to get into college

It should come as no surprise that the comments teachers make can haunt you forever. Sure, there are the words of encouragement that can empower you to pursue a particular path, but there are also the subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle insults that can damage someone’s self-esteem. The only positive outcome that can arise from dealing with these unfortunate comments is if they become a motivator for you as you continue to do what you want and be who you are despite what a silly authority figure…

In our next story, one college girl proves that there are a lot of life lessons and privileges that are completely ignored during your college years– especially if you're an entitled brat.

'No one ever admitted to [it]': Clueless rich kids take shortcut, cause school evacuation in the middle of the night

For some teens, college is the first time they're out on their own, and it really shows. It's the first big step towards independence for many kids. After years of living with their parents, college freshmen suddenly realize they have to fend for themselves. A lot of colleges make this as easy as possible for the new students, especially for those who choose to live in a dorm. There's usually a nice cafeteria where they can get hot meals, and many colleges provide laundry on-site. Plenty of dor…

'It was a nightmare living situation': College student averts $500 fine by sparring with roommate, malicious compliance ensues

Surviving the experience of living with an awful roommate is not the character-building experience people say it is. Some experiences are just awful ones, and sometimes, there is not much to learn from a roommate's ridiculous, uncalled-for behavior. Sometimes, the goal is just to get out in one piece and the takeaway is, “well that was a bad chapter in my life.” This college student sparred with their roommate from the very beginning. They would leave passive-aggressive notes to one another abo…

'Stay in my lane? Okay, but it’ll cost you': College loses $25K after rejecting advisor's request to fix the system

It's remarkable how many times problems could have been solved in most workplace environments were it not for the egos of those in charge. Ideally, any functioning team should thrive on ideas and foresight from anyone involved. There is a difference between overstepping one's boundaries and providing helpful ideas for the whole team's benefit. The latter is called collaboration. It's having a team-building mentality. It should not be interpreted as aggressive or threatening behavior; yet, for t…

'Guess I need to bring my horse': College student's parking request gets denied, student rides horse to school

This college freshman really wanted their horse to come to school with them. Depending on where you live, that might be a completely normal thing to do. Lots of people ride horses around their neighborhoods as a means of transportation, and it works out just fine. I mean, that's what people did before the existence of cars anyway. Before cars ruled the streets, you had to get around on foot. If you wanted to get somewhere fast, you could get there at whatever speed your horse could run. These d…

These kids are in for a surprising awakening after a lifetime of being sheltered. For lots of wealthy kids , money has almost no real-world meaning to them until they're out on their own. Some show up to their first days of college and wonder why their laundry isn't being magically done for them, or why they have to make their own food for each and every meal. A lot of them just don't understand the value of money. As Lucille Bluth says in Arrested Development , “I mean, it's one banana, Michae…
