Riding the train isn't half as bad as taking the bus, but even then, you can meet some pretty colorful characters… you know the type. Rude and entitled, these passengers seem to have some kind of personal vendetta against you, which isn't possible, considering you don't even know them. In this case, OP was on a 4-hour train ride, in a small compartment, with a due wearing a business suit who had a snotty air about him. The dude kept taking phone calls, talking loudly for a long time, biding his…

Can't live with them, can't live without them.

That sucks.

For some folks, gift-giving is very much not their love language.

You may think you've seen some odd food combos, but these ones really take the cake. Listen up, content creators. You're all banned from having pickles . Every last one of you content creators out there, you have abused your pickle privileges by creating man-made horrors. What have I said about making man-made horrors beyond our comprehension? Straight to jail, all of you. When you've been on the internet for a while, you can often spot when people make foods with the intention of enraging thei…

There's a reason why everyone tells you to always read the label first. For one, as your mother probably told you growing up, you don't want to purchase, eat, wear, or try anything that might cause any damage whatsoever. However, in addition to that far more important reason, there's also the fact that if you don't read your signs and labels, you might be missing out on some quality content. I mean, there really is nothing quite like reading a sign and doing an immediate "Did I read that right?…

Tsk, tsk, questionable decisions are being made by management and HR all around the world at this very moment, and you never know the consequences it will bring… In this case, OP explained how he was going to 'jump ship' as soon as possible due to HR in his company, who were doing everything in their power to micromanage the company's employees to a ridiculous degree. An employee at OP's workplace who was working in IT asked for an 8% raise, showing their boss salaries in the area where people…

Working as a barista, you get to meet a bucketload of the general population, most of whom are wildly entitled, despite the fact that underneath their short blond haircut and agitated pointing finger, they're just like you: a human being. Unfortunately, customers were either brought up without manners and never managed to get a knack for them, or they were brought up with manners, and chucked them out the second they turned 18. In any case, OP was working as a barista at a cafe, when a Karen re…

We also wish we could have seen the look of defeat on this guy's boss's face. When you first start your job, you have no idea what your boss is going to be like. As you interview, you might talk to your direct boss once or twice, and you can probably get a good first impression of them, but it's hard to know what your day to day life will be like. Even if your boss seems great from the start, they might start to turn on you after a while, which is apparently what happened with this person's bos…

In fairness, there's certainly no easy way to break up with someone. You can try to be as prepared and as measured as possible, but in the end, it always goes down differently than expected because at the end of the day, relationships are a two-way street. Your experience of how something is or isn't working will inevitably clash with the other person's perspective. So when you're finally readying yourself for that unfortunate conversation, it's unavoidable that someone will say something surpr…

Tattoos are so personal to the individual getting their skin adorned. Everyone knows that tattoos last forever, but it's a hard concept to fathom until you actually get the tattoo. Depending on where you get it, you'll either 1) look at it every day, so you'd better love it! or 2) never look at it if it's on your back or legs, and you'll kind of forget you have it at times. Regardless, you do have that art work forever, and even if you can't see it, other people probably can. Along with your ha…

A car is the 2nd largest purchase you will make, aside from a house. Back in the 90s, car dealerships looked somewhat like a circus; all the balloons, streamers, inflatable wiggly men, the big price stickers on cars… but nowadays, car dealerships are supposedly more 'honest', more direct, and frankly, more concise in terms of financing. In this case, OP's car dealership was incompetent. OP's SUV was throwing error codes, so they took it to the dealership for them to take a look. After taking a…

Every so often, you come across something on the Internet that reminds you how shockingly wild humans can be.

Landlords may be known for their shady practices, but a full-on role-reversal situation is not what we're accustomed to… Before we get into this new drama, let's all take a moment to acknowledge that landlords simply should not be able to get away with most of their ridiculous antics. Whether it's raising the rent well above market value and refusing to negotiate or whether it's refusing to acknowledge your fifth email this month about the roach problem and the need for a major roof repair, we…

The intricate workings of dating app algorithms are beyond us, at this point. It seems as though fate has conspired against us in this realm of digital romance. Tinder stands as both a glorious boon and a dreadful curse upon our species. On the one hand, it liberates us from the need to initiate face to face encounters with potential love interests. On the other hand, alas, it retrains us from indulging in the cherished art of approaching others in the real world. Whether one seeks a casual arr…

It's summer and Karens are in heat.
