Reddit is a great site for general discussions on random topics. People share their thoughts and experiences on a whole range of things, which often makes for entertaining reading. How it works is simple: one user asks a question and then waits for other users to post their answer in the thread. In this example, a user asked for \u2018tenants from hell\u2019 stories.
