'Interviewer... quit right in the middle of the job interview': 20 Interviews that went so badly it turned away the job candidates

Imagine getting the jitters as you show up to a job interview , only for the interviewer to barely ask you any questions about yourself.

'I left pool noodles outside on accident': 20+ Confounding reasons people got fired

These people couldn't believe what they were hearing when their bosses told them they were fired . That's because these workers were let go for some pretty off-the-wall reasons. The usual reasons people are fired are things like repeated latenesses, complaints from customers, talking back to management, or being put on a PIP (performance improvement plan) without improving. Most companies try to avoid firing people if possible, but sometimes it's avoidable. At least you're not the person who go…

'That was the first job I ever quit': 15+ Fed-up workers explain the exact moments they decided to quit their toxic jobs

No matter how patient someone is, everyone has their breaking point. Most people who quit a job on the spot don't quit because of an isolated incident. Instead, a lot of people can only handle customers complaining to their faces so many times. You can only work so many tables that tip zero dollars before you start to lose your marbles. There are only so many times a Karen customer can confront you about prices that aren't in your control before you start to daydream about unemployment. These k…

'Cheese from the dollar store': 30+ Purchases people will never make again

These people had buying experiences that were so bad, they had to share it with the world. And thank goodness they did, because now we know a bunch of items that just aren't worth wasting money on. Buying a new thing only to have it not work is infuriating. Lately I've stopped buying things from the billion-dollar company named after a rainforest, because the stuff I get from there just does not work. You really do get what you pay for, sadly. I bought a few headphone accessories from one selle…

'The groom's Dad stood up and loudly said, "It's not too late, son!"': 25+ Wedding ceremony objectors who couldn't resist halting the ceremony

You know what they always say at weddings: “Speak now, or forever hold your peace.” In most cases, the phrase is just ornamental. It seems obvious that in most cases there's nothing to speak about, because it's really only the newlyweds' opinions which matter on their special day.
