Some people just need a wake-up call

This customer tried to get some petty payback on a company that he felt had wronged him. It didn't end well for him! Customers tend to fall into two groups when they've been wronged by an establishment. Let's say for example a customer buys a product, and it's faulty, and they try to return it. The store refuses and won't budge. The customer may get so irate that they declare, “I'm never coming back here ever again!” Here's where the two groups come into play: some of those people mean it, and…

Someone's got to take the night shift , but of course, no one really wants to. Working overnight means that you have to force yourself to stay awake for hours, even as you start to feel loopy and exhausted. Your body is screaming at you to get some rest, but you have to keep walking around and keep busy in order to keep your eyes open. By the time your shift is over, you're happy to crash into bed and sleep all day. But, you know, during the day is when everyone else is awake and doing all thei…

When one employee stated the obvious, this radio station manager was incensed. Working at a radio station seems like a really fun job. The poster of this story, u/nothingbeast, confirms that, writing that the job was great, but the people were “just terrible.” Their job involved a ton of different tasks since it was a small radio station, but since they enjoyed the work, this employee didn't mind going above and beyond. Trouble often arises when managers assume that their employees will keep up…

These employees are shaking their heads at their boss. He kept insisting everyone else should be on time and ready for morning meetings, while dropping the ball himself. At lots of workplaces, employees have a morning meeting to start the day. Everyone rolls in with their coffees and laptops and settle in to listen to the boss drone on for a while. Some employees will pitch ideas or talk about the clients they're working with that day. While it can be a little annoying to do every day, it's imp…

Where to begin with this one, beats me… One worker cleverly got out of doing their job for an entire day after showing up at a location for work, and getting kicked off the grounds. How did it even get to that? You will find out in a minute. So, what happened goes as follows… The OP was working at a large supermarket chain in England a few years ago, and because other stores were short staffed, OP was often asked by managers to drive and fill in. One day, management asked them to drive a couple…

Woe to those who deal with sneering customers, conniving hotel guests, and Karens. In other words, I salute anyone who works in the customer service industry, because you have to be tough as nails to tackle these kinds of entitled folk. As shared by u/anna12o, one hotel guest, who was, of course, a Karen, was making her life especially difficult, when it genuinely didn't have to be. You know those types of people who pay for something and then just assume that buys them a one-way ticket to be w…

It must have taken a ton of willpower for this guy to maintain his composure.

Once you work at a restaurant that serves coffee, you realize just how weirdly people take their morning beverage — loaded up with creamer, sugar, and flavoring. When I worked at a restaurant, I always was weirded out by people who would order a small coffee, and then add 10 sugars, 15 creams, and 5 pumps of flavor. It would cost extra money , and there would be literally a tablespoon of coffee in the drink after adding all that other stuff. But there were regulars who ordered their drinks like…

Coffee is love, coffee is life. For a beverage that is so acidic and low-key tasteless on its own, it's great with some cream or sugar. And it's clearly addicting, because many people drink it every single day. I, too, will continue to drink cold brew (humankind's best invention, don't @ me) every single day . Although there are many failed ways to drink coffee, a few of these are quite innovative , too, like the restaurant who gives out coffee ice cubes in lieu of iced coffee . But TBH, I woul…

Luxuriously self-indulgent people can have high expectations.

“Birds Aren't Real” is a parody conspiracy movement with the express goal of getting the word out that the government has replaced every bird with a robotic replica. Given the opportunity to talk about his cause in the high stakes world of Chicago morning news, Peter McIndoe did this.

He seems cool.
