'I smiled [and] turned around': Pharmacist gets snappy and denies customer their prescription, gets put in her place when it turns out the doctor is right there

'I smiled [and] turned around': Pharmacist gets snappy and denies customer their prescription, gets put in her place when it turns out the doctor is right there

Traveling while on a prescription can be very stressful. You have to make sure you have enough for the amount of time you are gone, and, of course, you have to remember it! When you forget the prescription, however, it's usually not the end of the world because you can simply call your doctor and have them prescribe you more at a pharmacy near wherever you are. The thing about pharmacies though, at least in the U.S., is that things tend to get messed up often. Sometimes the script just doesn't…

'Double-petty came into play here:' Bus driver happily passes notorious regular running late, passenger then attempts pettiness but the joke was really still on him

If you didn't realize, being a public bus driver is not an easy job. The hours are bonkers, working holidays and in crazy weather. It's your fault if there is traffic and somebody is late. And public transit always has a few colorful characters on the regular, to say the least. That's why it's common to hear people saying “thank you” to the driver as they get off of their stop. Some regulars will even bring their drivers snacks or beverages to keep them happy. So when a regular rider is constan…

'His story didn't add up': Lawyer "Uno Reverses" client after he tries to throw him under the bus

There's a saying, “if you can't take it, then don't dish it out.” Basically, if you don't like the taste of your own medicine, then you better stop messing around. There are a lot of sayings like this and they all mean the same thing of not messing with people, because it can always come back to you even stronger. That is exactly something one lawyer was able to prove. He was working for a mid-sized company as their lawyer when one of their buildings had burned down. This could've been a quick…

Sometimes there are situations that make you stop and think, “what would you do?” There are countless Reddit threads that make you ponder just this. Recently, we came across one about a fake HOA. A citizen had gotten onto the HOA board and was excited to make the community a better place. She was already working with the city's Parks department and even an environmental non-profit. Her first project was to make a beautiful park. However, after being part of this HOA for a few years, she started…

Yeah, yeah, it's not every customer that walks through the doors of a fast food place that is the worst, but, if you've ever worked fast food before, then you know it is a good portion of them.

'I'm fuming right now': Couple come back from vacation and find that their neighbors took apart their fence to build their own shed

Having bad neighbors is a nightmare, especially if they share a wall with you. What do you do in these types of situations? Most people just try to ignore the troublesome neighbors and continue living their life. However, that only works for so long—like, until they start terrorizing your own property. Then what do you do?? The cops can't really do anything until things have progressed way too far. And you can't really do anything beyond what the law allows, which really isn't much unless it's…

'I had a good laugh at that one': IT workers share what it's like to work for the technologically-illiterate

'I had a good laugh at that one': IT workers share what it's like to work for the technologically-illiterate

As more and more millennials and Gen Z enter the workforce the staff is becoming more technologically literate. However, only to a point. We all know how to create a PDF, how to connect to the printer, which emails are spam, and things of that nature. But that does not mean we all know how to restart an entire server, or fix a Point of Sales (POS) system. That's why having an IT team for a company is still very important, if not more important than ever. So when you get the technologically-illi…

'I hope they remember the time they played with [fire]:' Food company researcher borrows 250K scoville spice extract to stop his roommate from stealing his food

Roommates can be weird, to say the least. Even if you're moving in somewhere with a bestie, you will still be confronted with a side of them you've never seen before. Whether you two mesh with those sides is the key. That's why it's important to find a roommate with the same home values as yourself. For instance, if you really hate dirty dishes piling up, you would want to live with someone who is also serious about washing their dishes right away. Or if you are someone who doesn't really care…

'At this point everyone started to laugh': Software engineer schools nepo-baby employee in front of 20+ coworkers after his salary was questioned

It's a touchy subject when it comes to salary transparency. Many employees tend to agree that sharing what you make amongst each other helps people get paid what they actual deserve and avoids people getting underpaid and overpaid. However, some say it creates a “target” on the head of people making more and creates team tensions. A Redditor recently sparked a discussion on the subject after he had to school a co-worker on his salary. The co-worker, who happened to be the nephew of a higher-up…

‘I can hear the dripping sarcasm from the worker and I’m loving it’: 20-something-year-old Walmart employees give well-deserved sass to whiny Karen customer

‘I can hear the dripping sarcasm from the worker and I’m loving it’: 20-something-year-old Walmart employees give well-deserved sass to whiny Karen customer

It there is one place int he world that tends to be an accidental beacon to Karens, it's Walmart. Who knows what part of that mega store screams “entitlement welcome," but somehow it does. You'd think since most of their employees are either young kids/ adults or retired senior citizens forced back into the workforce that the patrons there would be a little more empathetic, but nope. Karens thrive in this establishment. However, the younger generation is starting to not give any Fs and standing…

'It’s so good to see him still fuming about it after months': Pierced employee out-logics manager and gets to continue wearing her piercings at work

The workforce has come a long way from its strict dress codes of the early 2000s. Now, business casual can include tattoos and piercings. However, great change doesn't come all at once, so for now, there are still places out there that will make you remove your piercing for some made up rule. One woman started a job and was told she must remove her industrial ear piercing. And industrial is a piercing in the ear that is a bar going from a hole made at the top of the ear to the side middle. It's…

We don't need to go into how hard it is to say goodbye to a beloved pet. It's one of the most heartbreaking experiences any pet owner will have to go through. So if there is anything a pet owner can do to make that day a little less the worst day ever, then you better believe they will do that. Only the coldest of hearts would make that kind of day worse for anyone. Unfortunately, those types of callous coldhearted people exist in the world—Recently, a guy who goes by u/valdev on Reddit shared…

Top Times Unsupportive Tech Coworkers Finally Got Fired and Left with a Bang

We've all imagined at one point or another during a bad job, quitting and leaving with the most dramatic exit possible. You tell everyone you hated off and you throw everything off you desk and you reveal any secrets you know to everyone and you march out and slam the door and everyone is crying and regretting treating you poorly. Funny thing about that fun run-on sentence though is that, that's not how it happens. If you leave like that in the slightest way, you're burning a bridge and that ca…
