Mistakes shouldn't be this funny. Some of these designs are just baffling , and the poor people who encounter them daily must think the same thing. One of the funniest design flaws I've encountered are the sinks in the bathrooms at Penn Station, as well as some other public places in NYC. As you can see here , the automated sink design is quite unusual. If you look closely, you'll see that there are symbols for soap, water, and hand dryers, as you look from left to right. But the first time you…

When everyone at your job has a problem with you, the problem is usually… well, you. But other times, your workplace is filled with a lot of bad apples. That is what happened in this case for a hotel worker whose job title was assistant general manager. Her GM was out of town, so she was left in charge of the hotel. Only a couple of problems arose, and OP made sure to text her manager about them. She thought it was all good, but apparently, it was not. Her manager came back from his trip and ca…

Anyone with neighbors knows how delicate the relationship between the people in the neighborhood is. Not only between those who live next to each other but also between all the different service providers that come to the neighborhood once in a while, like mailmen and delivery workers, street cleaners, etc. To maintain that relationship, you don't have to Love Thy Neighbor, but you do have to have respect for one another, and don't get into each other's business. This Reddit story, was shared b…

It doesn't get more shady than this. We know that it's tough out there for job seekers and, clearly, plenty of people are attempting to use that desperation to their advantage. However, it is difficult to imagine someone actually falling for a scheme like this. This thread was posted to Reddit by u/Imaspinkicku , a job candidate who underwent an entire interview process that culminated in an hour-long video call with a recruiter. Evidently, during the last five minutes of the call, the recruite…

Let's be real here—you'll hate most of the jobs you have in your life. There are a lot of things that need to line up to make spending 40+ hours a week with strangers you'd rather not be with, whilst at a place you would rather not be at, and taking orders from a person you'd rather didn't exist, something you'd actually enjoy doing. Yeah, there's a whole lot not to like about the entire arrangement—except getting paid, that's pretty sweet—so it's no surprise that most people absolutely despise…

When living in one flat with several roommates its is so important to keep a somewhat pleasant environment in the household. To keep the peace, there are a few thumb rules that everyone should know before moving in with someone else. The first rule of thumb would be never to take your roommate's belonging with out their permission (even if you are just ‘borrowing’ it). The second rule would be to always clean up after yourself. And lastly, well, when ‘entertaining’, always let the others know t…

One bride had a fantastic idea for dealing with a wedding guest who loved to steal the spotlight. When it's your wedding day , the couple wants the whole day to revolve around them, their love story, and the guests they've brought along to celebrate. Every wedding is a little different, but generally, the focus is supposed to be on the couple celebrating their vows to each other as they start their married life. In India, weddings are a massive deal. They're often at least three days, and somet…

This dude created a wave of malicious compliance seemingly by accident!

Thinking outside the box is this neighbor's specialty. What's the worst thing your neighbor's ever done ? Mine have stolen package after package, knowing they wouldn't get caught in a building with dozens of apartments. Even installing cameras hasn't helped much. Other people have issues with their neighbors parking in front of their houses. Some drivers simply do not care if their massive trucks are blocking the sidewalk. Then there are neighbors who seem to have the cops on speed dial, ready…

Divorce court has essentially become a cesspool of petty behavior. Many of us know this from personal experience, and the rest of us know from soapy film and television. Regardless, it doesn't take a stranger to divorce to understand that when kids are involved, it does not take long for vindictive parents to start using their children as pawns. This dude was the recipient of pettiness during his divorce when his ex-wife enforced a rule that essentially meant that any future long-term partner o…

This story is about (drum roll, please) new management and the silly demands they make in order to make a statement at a workplace. They stroll in, head high, title in check, scanning employees to see who will break the easiest. Who can they push around, and who will fight back? Well, one employee was not having it with their new boss. The employee was an engineer for the company, and they had one mandatory team day at the office. OP wasn't feeling well, so they informed their boss that they wo…

Watching the grocery store cashier ring up your food items, makes every working-class shopper rethink that second box of gourmet cookies. As the receipt tallies your haul of hunted and gathered groceries, it's hard not to think of those days when a family of four could live off of a $20 grocery store run for a whole week– nowadays, $20 gets you a box of lettuce, 12 eggs, and a cluster of bananas (if you're lucky).

According to these people, you don't always have to work hard for your money . On a rare occasion, the money will come right to you. Every now and then, you might stumble across a job that seems just too good to be true. It's good to have a healthy dose of skepticism for things of that nature, but sometimes it really is the real deal. For some jobs, having an employee on standby is the only thing that's required. There's one industry where this is endemic: film and TV. For actors and crew alike…

One student became furious when her school principal gave one of her friends demerit points for 'dress code violations'. The most annoying part was that even though she was wearing the same thing as her friend, she didn't get told off. In a sense, this student was upset that they hadn't been punished. That's some real loyalty right there! The issue was bigger than that, though. This principal would only give certain girls in the school dress code violations. Unfortunately, this was a recurring…

While it's probably a controversial take, the argument stands with strong reason: If you're a landlord or a professor or in any other position where someone is paying you for something you're providing them… you're providing a service, and the person paying you is entitled to good service. Far too many of these "service providers" not only regard this as unnecessary but also regard themselves as above the person paying them and use this to placate their nagging conscience. Who hasn't had a land…

Like most things in life, quitting is safer in numbers. The following quitting stories are all the more satisfying because here, we have entire teams walking out, throwing in the towel, and leaving in droves. That's what you get for trying to mess with your employees' time, schedules, workloads, and stress levels. These stories take me back to the days of an unpaid internship which shall remain nameless. The other interns and I expected to be doing research and standard office duties. However,…
