In a matter of days, one dude has gone from a smug BF to a single guy whose coworkers won't stop making fun of him. These days, the internet often leeches into the real world, bringing consequences along with it. Even when you want to remain anonymous online, it can be difficult to do that. You can post anonymously, but there are no rules stopping people from screenshotting your post and sharing it with anyone they want to. This is especially obvious when posts gain a lot of buzz, just like thi…

Core memory unlocked

How often do you accidentally ruin your meals? No matter how skilled you are as a chef or baker, there are going to be times that you totally mess up your recipe. For example, one person here forgot to label their flour and powdered sugar (although they taste and smell very different!). Their recipe got completely sabotaged because of this… and they aren't the only ones! Up next, these bosses had some utterly ridiculous requests for their employees, like one manager who “asked me if he could bo…

Sashimi going to a different sushi restaurant if I saw any of this on the menu

Learning to cook is a challenge that all adults must eventually face. And since we can't just eat microwave mac n' cheese for every meal for the rest of our lives, most young folks branch out to slightly more challenging dishes, one baby step at a time–with the most logical next step being the simple (yet delicious) frozen pizza dinner.

Customers with specific food demands should reconsider whether or not it's worth it to dine out. This customer clearly has a lot of anxiety around food ordering, which can be completely understandable if said customer were to have strict dietary restrictions. Still, to have the audacity to walk into a pizza spot with a typed list of instructions that includes no cheese or tomatoes is something else entirely. Yes, you read that right. No cheese or tomatoes at your average pizza spot. What did th…

Living with roommates is such a dice roll… are you gonna land on a good number or are you gonna lose the game? This woman was renting a house with a single mother and her son. She stated she didn't actually mind living with the pair, as they didn't interact much due to colliding work schedules, but over time, things got ugly anyway. The single mother was struggling financially, but the woman telling the story said that she didn't make a good salary either… so it's not a Robin Hood story. The wo…

There are certain people you do not want to frustrate in a restaurant, one of whom is most certainly the lead cook. However, as in any fast-paced work environment, people can get hot-headed and conflicts can arise between folks who feel like they are stepping on one another's toes. This lead cook was often stationed in an accessible place in the kitchen so that everyone could easily access him and vice versa. However, on one busy night, the lead cook briefly left his station in the hands of a n…

A bunch of waiters and chefs revealed the funniest things they’ve ever heard in the workplace. While working in a restaurant’s back of house (BOH), employees quickly gain a playful rapport with each other.

Babe, what's wrong? You've hardly touched your peppermint, pickle, hotdog pie

Food fails happen to all of us at some point. At least, I hope they do. I burnt an entire tray of bacon yesterday, and I'm a perfectly good chef who's nearly 30 years old. I put some bacon in the oven for 14 minutes at 400 degrees, thanks to the fastest Google search results. I was also making some scrambled eggs and pancakes at the same time, and, because I live my life on hard mode apparently, frantically waving a blanket in front of the fire alarm every minute or two. Lately, the fire alarm…

Nice going there, chef! If you're a viewer of The Bear but you can't cook to save your life, you may have found yourself pretending to be Carmy in your tiny kitchen as you boil a pot of pasta to complete imperfection. The truth is that no matter how many times you choose to mumble “yes, chef or ”no, chef" while you're cooking, some hopeless wannabe cooks simply are not capable of improvement. It's the same for folks who can't exercise via running. Some people are just not meant for it. After al…

Tomatoes: what can’t they do? They’re the perfect food for making a BLT on a hot summer day. And for those cold winter nights, you can do what this chef did, and cook up a big pot of sauce . This person apparently also goes big or goes home, because she decided to cook up 40 pounds of tomatoes in one sitting. That’s well over 100 tomatoes—her recipe could’ve had 120 tomatoes or more, depending on their size. If you’re an experienced chef, making meals in huge batches is a great way to save time…

It's important to keep some semblance of 'fun' in the workplace because that's the only thing that's getting you (and your coworkers) through your workday. But like every group project in middle school, there's always going to be a Debbie Downer in your group, determined to squash any good-natured fun that falls outside of the rulebook.

They did not nail it.

There should be a cap on the number of times a customer is allowed to send food back to the kitchen. Once is fine and, honestly, should be enough. These people are professionals and if you constantly need to send food back, then you’re the problem or at the very least, there is a huge difference between what you’re asking for and what you want. Now, there is also plenty of wrongdoing happening on the other side of things in this thread, which was posted to Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit. We…
