‘He Couldn’t Fathom Why a Woman Was Interviewing Him in This Industry’ : Potential Employee Messes Up Job Interview Big Time for Discriminating Against Female Boss

Job interviews can be daunting. You know beforehand who is going to interview you, so normally you'd come in with some kind of prior research. But some folk are less… prepared. Usually, people make it a point to try to not insult the person who interviews them — AKA, their potential employer/boss. But alas, some are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Yes, you can find women in the manufacturing business. Shocker! You can also find them in construction, finance, agriculture, firefighting, and a…

‘The first thing you learn in the trades is don’t be a [jerk]… Sometimes people don’t learn it fast enough’: Ex-Employee Gets Epic Petty Revenge on Nightmare Coworker

AITA for telling my BIL to get over himself and to quit holding a 10 year old grudge?

'You and your family sound massively entitled': Guy tells BIL to 'get over' his 10-year grudge so their families can vacation together

As the OP shared to r/AmItheA******, there was an incident that took place about a decade prior, but which has rippled out into the current day, since his brother in law will not forgive and forget the situation. The OP wrote that the BIL is a construction worker, and while he was away, the OP and his father borrowed some pricey equipment . Like, thousands…

‘What Are You, a Snowflake?’ : 20 Blunt Signs That Don’t Beat Around the Bush

‘What Are You, a Snowflake?’ : 20 Blunt Signs That Don’t Beat Around the Bush

Whoever created these signs get an A+ for creativity. Some of them are dumb, some of them are clever, and some are plain offensive. Still, they leave little to the imagination. I wonder whose job it is to double-check these things or come up with the mottos. Who approved these for the masses? Maybe the job is so boring that it leaves no choice to the employee but to make their own life more interesting. A couple of these signs are oddly specific as if there is a very peculiar backstory… makes m…

30+ Building blunders from people who don't even know which end of a hammer to use

Designing and constructing a building - how hard could it possibly be? Draw a few blueprints here, toss a few bricks and cement there, easy peasy. Joking, of course, but these 35 structures below have suffered from some poor planning. It looks like a lot of these buildings , staircases, and a surprising amount of bathrooms, were all just thrown together as quickly as possible. It's like the construction crew just cared about completing the building ASAP, and didn't even worry about the people u…

Cabinet installers' viral screw-up demonstrates the extreme power of MRI magnets in the worst way

One guy's massive MRI goof is a window into curiosity and science. This video, shared by ericmartinmoney, is truly enlightening. It answers an age-old question, which surely terrifies all of us when we go in to get an MRI. The technician will ask if you're wearing anything metal, because the MRI is literally a giant magnet .

female electrician shares ignorant things men have said to her on the job

'Why is there a girl here?': Female electrician from Utah shares the eye roll-inducing interactions she's had while working the trade

Trade jobs are needed more than ever. And with more electric powering coming into demand, electricians are one of the trades that are at the top of the list.

'I jumped in my truck, called his boss, and went home': Jerk construction operator abuses wrong contractor, gets fired

There are times when you've gotten away with doing the wrong thing for so long you grow accustomed to getting away with it — like that u-turn you pull while dropping the kids off at school, speeding on your favorite route to work, chopping up kidnapped victims in your basement, or — in a different manner — those late nights playing GameBoy under the covers as a kid.
