There's no manual on how to deal with inconsiderate neighbors — especially when it's their kids who are causing the problem! “Kids will be kids,” as the saying goes. But where are the parents responsible for said children?

When this woman's phone memory filled up, she knew exactly where to go — back to the store she bought her phone from. Customers are usually convinced that they're correct, and that they know exactly what they're doing. So then the employee, who does this all day every day, is at the mercy of the customer, who is utterly unflappable. It's not fair to these retail workers , and of course, this happens in every industry. This employee shared their story to r/talesfromretail about a woman who showe…

Dealing with a demanding customer can be a nightmare—ask anyone in customer service. It's not as straightforward as you might think either—the more you bend and break for them, giving in to their demands, the more they will ask for in return. It's like a lion attacking a herd of wildebeest; the hunter can sense the weakness, and showing any will make you a greater target. Plus, if you actually manage to close a sale with these people, there is an infinitely greater chance that they will become…

Imagine this being your long-awaited family vacation.

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Idiots have the uncanny ability to work themselves into petty positions of power, which they then rule over with an iron fist, completely ignorant of the fact that absolutely no one takes them seriously or even wanted that position in the first place. One could attribute this undeniably overly prevalent idiot phenomenon to possibly be due to the individual's complete and utter lack of self-awareness. For, one needs to be aware of one’s own actions and place in the world before one can begin to…

The leave approval process exists for one reason and one reason only: To ensure that workers have a proper guarantee and assurance that they will be able to be absent on the submitted dates before spending money and making social commitments. It's a rather simple process, black and white, really; can the employee take leave or not? Yes or no? Well, this manager decided to introduce a whopping massive grey area into the middle of “Yes” or “No” by first saying yes, forgetting they had approved th…

Cringe-fest

This manager found their workload increased dramatically when their co-manager was fired for a ridiculous reason. They then had to operate the entire store alone, which was rife with unique issues. The boss continued to be pettier and pettier. When they finally hired a replacement co-manager, they expected the manager to "cut their hours" immediately, which led to the titular confrontation. This thread was posted to r/MaliciousCompliance by the manager in the story, Redditor u/A-Stackhouse. Whe…

We can totally see why this woman broke up with her ungrateful ex . I have a love/hate relationship with cooking, as I imagine many people do. It can be fun to whip up a hearty meal if you have time and energy to do so, and it's even better if you have friends or family to serve it to. Other times, the daily drudgery of making meals creeps in, and makes you want to turn to takeout food instead. But the caveat there is that takeout adds up fast — it can cost $20 a day or more, which is why the c…

Artificial intelligence is growing larger and more powerful with every passing day, impacting all types of jobs. One of the most vocal majority about the dangers of AI have been teachers. Artificial intelligence like ChatGPT makes it possible to write entire school papers in a matter of seconds. Instead of going to class, taking notes, researching, writing, revising, editing, and submitting a paper, students can now produce a meticulously written paper on any subject with a few button clicks. I…

It's funny because it's true.

Here's a friendly reminder if you're in a committed relationship: being on the same page about money is kind of important.

If you're a parent, then you know how annoying unsolicited parenting advice is. But you also know that it just comes with eh territory. Your mom, your mom's mom, your dad's mom, your partner's mom, your mom friends, your friends' mom, and any parent in-between will have something they want to say. It's super annoying, but you learn to just kind of nod and carry on with your own parenting. C'est la vie. It's like the fly that won't stop buzzing by your year, you swat it away when you can, but so…

It's generally expected that you'll do whatever you possibly can to keep your superiors happy—whether it's your boss, teacher, or parents. But should we really be going out of our way to do something for someone who couldn't care less about showing the same respect in return? Normally, when your boss passed you criticism in the workplace, you might become anxious and worried about this. But should you really be? If you're already performing the expectations of your role, why waste the energy? T…
