Bystander offers to change struggling woman's tire but she firmly refuses, he pettily changes his own tire in front of her and drives off: ‘So desperate for attention’

No is a full sentence. Even if you mean well and fully plan to help someone else, if they tell you 'no', you just have to respect them and accept it. The response to this Reddit story was split between people who judged the struggling driver's decision to decline the help she was offered, and people who thought this petty act of revenge was actually pretty stupid. So let's back up to explain it properly, and you can tell us who you think is wrong. This man, who is called Luigi in the story, was…

'At 5:00pm, I am leaving': Manager assigns "urgent" task 4:50pm to be completed by end of day, employee stands his ground

No one enjoys getting assigned a new task at work right before the end of the day. The reality of the matter is that most tasks can wait until tomorrow at that point, and if it cannot, then that's on management for holding off on assigning said task for so long. This story serves as yet another example of how communication within a strict corporate hierarchy can lead to bad business. Here, we have an employee who was asked to complete a task at 4:50 pm that was evidently urgent. This would be f…

Update: 'I quit without thinking twice': Boss flips out on employee who quits $120k salary job for $250k job

Who among us wouldn't quit their job for double the salary ? It'd be a hard question to say no to, that's for sure. No matter how much you love your job, you could vastly improve your life with double the amount of money. Usually, when you find a job that could double your salary , you have to inform your company that they either need to match that amount, or you'll be leaving. It's not personal, it's just finances. But still, some bosses think that your loyalty to their company should be stron…

'Mock me during class? Get an F': Teacher fails misbehaving student on participation grade despite aceing the final exam

Wife decides she no longer wants her $500 Christmas gift after husband's constant guilt-tripping comments about it: 'Did I ruin Christmas?'

Giving gifts is a tricky thing and no simple task, there are so many pitfalls one can fall into with the act of giving. The gift needs to be representative of how you feel about the person and representative of the relationship itself. Not giving something thoughtful enough shows that you don't really understand, care, or consider them. Perplexingly, it's also possible to go too far, giving something that means and says way too much. Of course, the worst of all is simply forgetting about the oc…

'My boss invented a fake employee that he would blame all problems on': 20+ Workplaces that hid their tricks of the trade from their customers

Sometimes you really don't want to see how the sausage is made. You just want that final product , and you want to enjoy it without knowing all of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that it takes to create said product. This is certainly the case at many restaurants , just as one example. You just want to sit down in the seating area and have a nice meal. You don't want to think about how long it's been since they cleaned the grease trap, or how there are probably at least 10 cockroaches or mice…

Neighbors demand resident cut down their trees because they 'block the view to other people's houses', resident purposely outgrows the trees as a response: 'Enjoy the view'

Sometimes, not only is the grass not greener on the other side, but it is actually much more brown, and that is the case when it comes to the neighbors in this Reddit story. Of course, we do not mean the actual quality of the grass of the two neighbors' backyards in the story, we mean the quality of the people involved. Despite envy being a strong human emotion, many people find themselves grateful that they are not like their neighbors, especially when those neighbors act entitled and downrigh…

Condo-dweller has neighbor's car clamped for parking in their spot, costing them only $100 but igniting parking feud: 'They are now repeatedly demanding I pay them the 100 bucks they spent to unclamp the car'

Neighborhood parking disputes have a way of unraveling quickly into lasting grudges: passive-aggressive notes and relentless attempts to get even for perceived slights. Living in close proximity to other people requires tact, understanding, and communal goodwill. It's surprising how many people don't get this or otherwise refuse to engage in simple pleasantries and goodwill. And it really baffles the mind how many people seemingly feel entitled to their neighbor's property and simply refuse to…

As a candidate who wants to win the game, all you need to do is find the best answers to satisfy the interviewer, regardless of your thoughts or feelings, and you are one step closer to securing the job. It is well established that people constantly lie in job interviews and simply say what the interviewer wants to hear, just to get the job. ‘Why do you want to work for our company?’ is an age-old question and its reply i…
