‘I [had] to see whatever hilarity this was going to lead to’: Guy confused as Target employee gets dragged to company meeting, takes advantage of catering and discounts

‘I [had] to see whatever hilarity this was going to lead to’: Guy confused as Target employee gets dragged to company meeting, takes advantage of catering and discounts

Getting confused as an establishment's employee while you are just shopping around can be embarrassing and annoying. But when you have time to spare and a manager comes huffing and puffing at you that you're not at the meeting, this is an opportunity for a hilarious life experience. After you get past registering in your brain what is happening to you, maybe just go with the flow and see where it takes you. Maybe you'll organize an employee walk-out or at the very least get an employee discount…

'I told you so': NY contractor is aghast after clients slash budget by $300k "just because," gets bittersweet redemption 2 years later

Budgeting for a home remodeling is never easy, especially when you live in NYC or any big city, really. Prices are always higher and the market for private contractors is so saturated it gets very overwhelming. However, it's not easy for the contractors either. You think doing construction in an area surrounded by other buildings and nowhere to park heavy machinery is easy? It takes a lot of finesse and experience. So when you find a contractor that is known for their honesty and craftsmanship,…

'I don’t know why he thought he wouldn’t be exposed': Restaurant gets community support after guy with fake service dog tries to use ADA laws against them

The first thing you should know about actual Service Animals is that they will not be causing any kind of ruckus in public. They are highly trained to handle any common situation in society like eating out at a restaurant, taking the bus, grocery shopping, etc. You probably wouldn't even notice a working Service Animal sitting next to you at a restaurant or the mall because they are so quiet and stick close to their handlers. If you see a “Service Animal” barking at someone, or pulling to play…

‘We bottle the same wine blends, under different brand names’: 20+ industry secrets employees come clean about

It turns out that every industry has their dirty little secrets. Even the ones who claim to be “100% transparent," are most definitely not. It's difficult to be honest about every little thing as a human, so you can only imagine how bad large corporations are at it. It's not shocking to find out that companies are keeping secrets from you. We all go buy a new car with the expectation of getting oversold, or buy merchandize that claims something that makes your eyes roll with how untrue it is. M…

'Someone is drinking it without shame:' Coworker comes up with perfect concoction to catch the office iced tea thief

'Someone is drinking it without shame:' Coworker comes up with perfect concoction to catch the office iced tea thief

There is a lot to be annoyed about when working in an office, but one that is a common occurrence to many is an office fridge thief. Sure, it's a shared fridge that everyone in the office uses, but that by no means declares all the food in there to be shared amongst everyone in the office. Usually these fridge thieves are so audacious that they don't even care if there is a name on the item. You can straight up ask the office to please stop taking your lunch or whatever and you still will get i…

'The worst customer service we've experienced': AirBNB stiffs customer when host double books them and cancels their reservation AFTER check-in

It's not new knowledge that AirBNB has been on the steady decline. It's more than just shoddy hosts trying to pull some sketchy things. It's also AirBNB host coming in and jacking up living prices and buying up houses that could have been a lovely home. Long gone are the days where AirBNB is romanticized. Now, we harken back the days of hotel, motel, Holiday Inn (cue Bogus Trizzy song). Here is another example (out of many floating around the internet) of an unsatisfied AirBNB customer. This wo…

'I just wanted to share this evidence that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer': Small factory worker tries to enlighten her wealthy upper management

Ready to get woke, sheeple? America has been kind of going in the gutter for several decades now, to say the least. There is a housing crisis like no other and the price gouging because of “inflation” is simply out of control. Don't even get us started on how little the government “helps” the families in this country. The conversation around minimum wage in the U.S. as exploded on Reddit and Redditors are providing a “woke” commentary. A small town/small factory worker took to Reddit simply to…

‘[The company] ended up getting less money for providing better services’: Tech savvy-millennial outsmarts internet salesperson trying to upsell her mom, gets her a 30% cheaper deal

‘[The company] ended up getting less money for providing better services’: Tech savvy-millennial outsmarts internet salesperson trying to upsell her mom, gets her a 30% cheaper deal

If you have ever worked as a phone salesperson, then you know how horrible it is. If you enjoy it, then you work at a company that is unique and cares about their employees and customers or you are a sadist. Because most of the time, these companies hired to sell products for even larger companies pay minimum wage, make employees upsell unnecessary items to work off of commission, and most don't even offer benefits. Imagine it, you're talking to someone who has to be pretty old because they sti…

'If you fall you're fired before you hit the ground': Roofer refuses to do dangerous job 35-feet in the air and gets written up, starts gathering photos for OSHA

'If you fall you're fired before you hit the ground': Roofer refuses to do dangerous job 35-feet in the air and gets written up, starts gathering photos for OSHA

Roofing is an extremely dangerous job that is completely underrated in just how dangerous it is. Roofers are another breed, man. It's not only dangerous because you're literally working on something where if you make one false move or bad step, you could lose the use of your legs. But it is also dangerous because often times they don't even have benefits, pensions, healthcare, etc. It's absolutely absurd. The leading driver for OSHA fines as been the lack of fall protection for several years no…

‘Moms in the '80s were built different’: Internet loves mom who went mafia-style on her daughter's bully and hired 2 kids his own age to “pick on”

‘Moms in the '80s were built different’: Internet loves mom who went mafia-style on her daughter's bully and hired 2 kids his own age to pick on

Parenting is a wild ride full of unexpected turns and decisions you never thought you'd have to make. In 2023, there are countless books, classes, online resources, and more to help you parent the best you can parent. But back the day, say the 1980s, it was a kind of “figure it out for yourself” thing. Sure you had other moms to give you advice and maybe a book or two from the library, but the psychology done on parenting was not something to be desired quite yet. So many moms just mom'd by fol…

'It's fun to actually block someone once in a while': IT worker gets back at coworkers who cut the lunch line and force him to eat at his desk

You should treat every single person with respect, especially all of your coworkers. The hierarchy of the company comes second to just being a decent human being. However, some people are filled with entitlement and forget that when it comes down to it, we're all just flesh and bones. So when one of these entitled colleagues disrespect a branch of the company that they think they're better than, you better believe they're gonna get a taste of their own medicine. This happened recently with an e…

'I just smiled at him and drove off': Guy gets a job at the place handling the contracts of his ex-coworkers who got him fired, so he gets them fired

Work drama is never fun, but usually the best advice is to never burn bridges when it comes to your career. If you want to leave a toxic workplace, try to leave on good terms just in case you have to work with them again. On Reddit , a guy who worked at a warehouse relayed a story where some people burned some bridges and he was the one to show them how that was a baaaad idea. It wasn't just one incident, OP was working with several of his friends who all of a sudden turned on him for x,y,z. He…

‘Now I am working a job that pays me almost 50% more’: Manager scoffs at request for a raise, so employee leaves him high and dry

It's not easy asking for a raise. It's stressful and anxiety inducing, but if you have a good manager they take it seriously and try their hardest to give it to you. But the internet seems to make it clear that there are not many good managers out there. Just look at this short and sweet story that is the epitome of this. OP puts it plain and simple: They asked for a raise and their manager responded with rudeness and immaturity. OP poised their case with good reasoning on why they deserve a ra…

'I'll only be a minute': Driver satisfyingly sticks it to a Karen in a parking lot after she steals his spot

Get ready for a short and sweet story that perfectly captures the essence of satisfying karma. We all know about infamous Karens. It's not a a specific person named Karen anymore, Karen is a state of being that is pure villainous. Karens throw tantrums when they don't get their way and are entitled and narcissistic. Karens seem to perpetually be stuck in their terrible twos. A guy who encountered a Karen in a Wawa parking lot decided to dish her a steaming hot plate of her own recipe . He was p…

'Win win for [me], not the company': Consultant finagles freebee PTO days when manager insist they work on impossible days

'Win win for [me], not the company': Consultant finagles freebee PTO days when manager insist they work on impossible days

Sometimes managers can be a little… ditzy, to say the least. They request things from their employees that are not even possible. And that's exactly what happened to this consultant who posted their story on Reddit . This OP was working as a consultant at a firm they very much enjoyed. They had a pretty good relationship with their manager, so when they requested time off to travel, they didn't think there would be an issue. And initially, there wasn't. However, three days before they were supp…

'Not a word was said, but my food stopped disappearing': Hospital employee stops coworker from stealing his food by using a classic dog training trick

'Not a word was said, but my food stopped disappearing': Hospital employee stops coworker from stealing his food by using a classic dog training trick

Us humans like to think we are the smartest living organisms on the planet. We have self-awareness (although some Karens I meet, I'm not so sure they do), and we keep evolving to make our society more and more advanced. However, the thing is, deep down, we are still just a bunch of wild animals. Sure, we decided one day to walk upright and start communicating clearer to each other, but we still have most of that basic animalistic wiring. So that's why it is so funny when a training trick used u…
