Kids go through phases of being little menaces. Sometimes that 'phase' extends into their entire lifetime, bit it's pretty much guaranteed when they're under 10 years old. By the time they're in 2nd or 3rd grade, they think they have the world figured out. They don't need mom and dad telling them what to do anymore and they become indignant, stubborn, picky babies once again.

Once upon a time, my second job ever was as a merchandizer (vendor) for an unnamed beer company TM . At the ripe age of eighteen, I'd travel around from site to site in a barely functioning van, ensuring that our product was better stocked and more nicely presented than our competitors. I was somebody finally doing something on my own without an adult breathing down my neck and, with a fairly rural route, I spent a significant chunk of time driving and reflecting on whatever thoughts an eightee…

We've seen plenty of Karens who throw a fit over parking and Karens who desperately need to speak to the manager, but we haven't seen what happens to the Karens of the world who go camping.

Everyone would love to be a nature-loving aficionado of all these outdoor, but oftentimes, nature wins and reminds us of its dominance - just like these poor souls that were taught a lesson by nature.

It is another classic boomer vs millennial dilemma . Here we have a millennial son-in-law having to stand up for his generation (yet again) to his boomer mother-in-law who calls anybody younger than her a millennial, and millennials are lazy folk who don't want to work. This story takes place in an amusement park. A millennial family with the boomer grandparents included, took a spring vacation to an amusement park. The park had just opened for the season, so it wasn't as full of visitors, but…

Older generations think that millennials and Gen Z have no work ethic. Obviously that's not true across the board, it's just that younger folks aren't inclined to work for jobs with no benefits, living wages, or humanity. One millennial recently got accused of faking being sick at work to get out of his shift, even though he had a fever, chills, and was violently ill in the bathroom.

Sometimes you have to get a little feisty to help someone you love. When the end justifies the means, ya know? This is exactly what one grown millennial daughter did for her boomer mothers. The adult millennial, Reddit user @Ambitious-Writer-825 , posted something to the subreddit r/MaliciousCompliance , but a different type of story than the usual one you see on that thread. Usually you see someone using malicious compliance for exactly what it defines to, complying but only with malicious int…

Malicious compliance is often used when the employees feel like they have no other choice than to obey the ridiculous rules management creates on the different whims they have. And boy does management have whims… they don't always necessarily make a lot of sense. In this case, industrial workers began to literally break safety equipment, and fix it, just to write a safety violation report. A new employee who was not informed of this was absolutely flabbergasted. The same mantra had apparently b…

When you get distracted when you work from home, managers will consider you an unproductive employee. When you work in an office, those same distractions are called “company culture”.

In the U.S., each state has their own employment laws to protect both employers and employees. Unfortunately, employers are the ones with all the money, so things tend to fall in their favor over the hardworking employees. Recently, a woman shared her quitting saga on her TikTok. She worked for a non-profit that used business practices that she said “did not align” with her ethically. The work environment became more and more toxic and her and her entire team had had enough. You can see this ha…

The internet has no shortage of absolute weirdness , and just in case we ever run out, people are constantly creating even weirder things. Let's talk about some of them, starting with the Doritos pop tarts . Would you eat these photoshopped frights? I would have to try a bite, but I would wash it down with the cursed Nutella burger, which seems intense but still edible. Would not eat: the spaghetti backpack. It would be cold by the time you carried it to your destination. Just add a second back…

Whether we like it or not, group projects are one of the earliest signifiers in life of who's trustworthy and who isn't.

Everyone keeps secrets from their significant other, but not everyone would fess up to secretly letting the dog snooze on the bed, or devouring "nine cans of ravioli" when their S.O.'s not around. Thankfully, these folks did for our amusement! "What's a secret you'll never tell your partner but are willing to tell strangers on Reddit?" one person asked the r/AskReddit sub , and answers of all types poured in. Commenters shared everything from the mundane everyday life secrets to things that wou…

You can't be so desperate to ask a lady to pay for your meal and then call her cheap afterward.

One of the few benefits of being a renter is that you are not responsible for maintaining a property's upkeep. However, that is simultaneously a huge downside if you have a chintzy landlord. If your unskilled landlord is a cheap, do-it-yourself type, you might find yourself constantly smelling methane gas, putting putty over leaks, and watching him paint over holes in the wall.

Have you ever entered a workplace, friend group, or any social group and been warned to watch out for one particular member? It's an unfortunate aspect of our social nature; we always need a group or individual to be “othered” to feel like we're “in." While it's important to keep an eye out for red flags and not make yourself too vulnerable to possible exploitative behavior from these people (if what people say is true), it's just as important to form your own opinions. You might find that this…
