A person can only take so much before they just lose it. In the workplace, that kind of feeling can build for months or years, but that employee eventually has to get their feelings out. Employees ideally want to feel heard at their workplaces. They might have great suggestions, but when they pose it to their bosses, their ideas are waved away. Others request raises, only to be snidely denied or lowballed into accepting a raise that will barely make a dent. Offering raises is probably not somet…

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…

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…

Sure, people's various passions, interests, and worldviews make them unique individuals, but sometimes it's your specific pet peeves that make you truly stand out. For instance, there are a lot of people in this world who are interested in science fiction movies, but not a lot of people in this world who are annoyed to no end by the breathing patterns of their nearest coworkers. We all would like to think that it's the positive aspects of our personalities that make us special, but we should be…

How many chances should these interviewers have given their candidates? A lot of these interviewers were surprisingly lenient on their interviewees. Going for a job interview is one of those universally scary human experiences. Whether you're 15 or 55, it's still a nerve-wracking endeavor each time. You've got to print out your resumes, read up on the company, iron that business suit, and show up early with a smile on your face. If that seems like just the bare minimum for you, just read these…

There are some questions you just don't ask people in public. But then again, some people have absolutely no filter and don't necessarily take social cues into account when assessing whether or not it's appropriate to inquire about what's on their minds. In theory, these people are unapologetic and entertaining; in practice, they are just extremely uncomfortable to be around, whether it's at a family dinner, on the street, or in a workplace environment. If you ask any of the people on this r/As…

Sometimes you get back at someone in such a beautifully righteous way that you never forget it. Maybe you think of the perfect retort to someone's jab at you, and it gets a huge laugh. Or maybe, like these people, you come up with an utterly perfect solution to your problems. U/trexradar87 was curious what people's “best/funniest personal example of petty revenge ” was, and the answers are inspiring.

The shock of looking in the mirror and seeing something so far beyond what you asked for is seared in the memories of countless disgruntled customers. That being said, with this story, we're going to shift the focus from the customer to the barber. Everyone makes mistakes on the job, and sometimes, forgiveness is the best you can ask for after you mess up on the job. For these hairdressers, the experiences o…

As a manager, you occasionally have to let someone go. A workplace never stays the same forever---people are hired, people quit, and people get fired.

It may be a new year, but dads will always be dads. Everyone may want to pretend that they don't love a dad joke, but there is something to be said for the number of times we guffawed while compiling this list. Here's the thing about what dad jokes produce. It's never loud laughter. It's never a cackle. But there is value in a guffaw. A guffaw is almost involuntary, and because we are often socialized to roll our eyes at dad jokes, the fact that these jokes provoked a guffaw out of us shows the…

Gratefulness doesn't come naturally to these people. Usually, people are taught from the time they're young that when someone gives you a gift , you should be thankful. Even if you don't like the gift, you should thank the person who got it for you. When they're five or under, kids tend to be brutally honest about the gifts they do or don't like, and it can be pretty funny for those around them. But when a teenager throws a fit because her parents bought her the wrong car? That's a whole lot le…

Karmic intervention is coming for those who need to be humbled. Just ask the people who shared their favorite stories of the times it's happened to them. It happens to every driver at some point: you're minding your business, enjoying a relaxing drive on the highway, when some dude decides to tailgate you. Some folks just have road rage, and all they want to do is compete with everyone else on the road. It seems like there are a few different types of these drivers. Some are trying to go fast,…

When a fight between two customers breaks out in a place like a restaurant or a bar, there are a few ways in which that scenario could end. Either both customers get kicked out, one of them gets kicked out, or none of them. In my time as a waitress, I had to ask a few customers to leave the restaurant, and it was never a pleasant experience. Most people just won't accept that they are in the wrong, no matter how much you try to calmly explain to them what is the problem. This Reddit story is ac…

There are some institutions in this world whose sole purpose in life is to be a nuisance to you. A few types of organizations come to mind when rounding out this list. The Department of Motor Vehicles is one. Whoever processes or doesn't properly process your insurance claims also qualifies as a worthy contender. But nine times out of ten, the most common organization people take issue with is their local homeowners association. According to these folks who shared their memorable HOA horror sto…

A pleasant workplace environment and a good relationship with your coworkers are some of the most important things you need in a job. Think about it, you see these people for at least 8 hours, every day, 4 to 5 days a week. It won't be an exaggeration to say you spend more time with them than you do with your own family. If you don't get along, it can really affect not only your work but your personal happiness. The woman in this Reddit story has to deal with pretty unfriendly people in her off…

No one ever said your doctor couldn't also have a sense of humor. In fact, while some people might find jokes to be unwelcome in a hospital environment, others may find that in appropriate circumstances, jokes can be comforting. Perhaps the right kind of bedside manner is a personal preference at the end of the day. Personally speaking, I will go to any doctor's appointment with more pent-up anxiety than anyone else in the waiting room. If my doctor isn't going to crack a joke to break the ice,…
