Although these people weren't trying to be funny , they gave everyone around them the giggles. Every friend group has that one person who cracks everyone up with their lack of common sense or knowledge. We all have a few gaps in our knowledge, but some people just make you wonder how they ever got to be this old without knowing basic information. One person wrote that they knew someone who was upset about daylight savings time. Not because she was getting less sleep or had her schedule disrupte…

Say it loud and proud. These people are fine with sharing their thoughts and feelings at top volume. When people state something with confidence, we have a tendency to assume they're correct. We think to ourselves, “Surely this dude wouldn't be loudly telling everyone in a 20-foot radius about his plan if he wasn't correct.” But it turns out that these people are wrong kind of a lot. Then, people who are actually knowledgeable stay quiet on the subject. They don't want to be loudly wrong, so th…

‘I texted my mom… Siri read it out loud’

These job candidates really needed a job, but they weren't desperate enough to stay at interviews that were totally wrong for them. Sometimes you can just tell right away that the job isn't going to be the right fit for you. Most of us would just stick out the interview and call it a loss after the fact. But these folks just walked right out, saving themselves both time and dignity. A major red flag during most job interviews is the ratio of how much you're allowed to talk, compared with how mu…

No workplace is safe from that one dude who can't get anything right. There really is at least one person in every company who seems wildly underqualified for the job. This is the kind of guy who makes you wonder how they ever got a driver's license or paid their taxes, because they're seemingly too dim-witted to function. Sometimes, it's not even the person's fault, necessarily---you can just tell they're in the wrong career . For example, one shoe store worker was asked to organize some shoes…

Some people can get away with absolutely anything . It's like a natural gift that some folks are born with. They can talk their way out of any situation; they can befriend anyone in an instant. It's a wonder to watch people like this work their magic. But if they happen to be your irritating coworker who seems unfireable, that's a whole different story. It seems like a lot of people who are immune to being let go are nepo-babies. These are the children of nepotism: they're the grown adults with…

Not everyone can be the employee of the month. Some employees are destined for mediocrity, while others are so dim-witted it makes you wonder how they ever got the job in the first place. These people have been shocked by their own especially goofy coworkers, which they told to the r/askreddit community. U/Colossus252 asked, “What's your story of the dumbest coworker you've ever had the privilege of working with?” and more than 1,100 Redditors revealed their funniest stories.

You can push the limits all you want, but you'd better be prepared for the consequences. Some people work at the same place for so long that they get a little too comfortable. They start to feel immune to workplace rules and regulations. If you catch them bending the rules, they'll probably just give you a wink and a nudge because they think the higher-ups will have their back. Having friends in high places does help, certainly. But some people get fired for the silliest reasons anyway. For one…

Saying “no” is an important skill to learn in life. It takes practice: it can be way easier to instantly say yes to whatever people ask you to do. Especially if you're a people-pleaser, you probably know the pressure of feeling like you have to agree to every request people throw at you. Maybe it's your boss asking if you can stay late at work on a Friday, even though you see him waltzing out of the office at 4 PM. Or perhaps your ex-partner keeps trying to get you back in their life, and you k…

A person can only take so much before they just lose it. In the workplace, that kind of feeling can build for months or years, but that employee eventually has to get their feelings out. Employees ideally want to feel heard at their workplaces. They might have great suggestions, but when they pose it to their bosses, their ideas are waved away. Others request raises, only to be snidely denied or lowballed into accepting a raise that will barely make a dent. Offering raises is probably not somet…

How many chances should these interviewers have given their candidates? A lot of these interviewers were surprisingly lenient on their interviewees. Going for a job interview is one of those universally scary human experiences. Whether you're 15 or 55, it's still a nerve-wracking endeavor each time. You've got to print out your resumes, read up on the company, iron that business suit, and show up early with a smile on your face. If that seems like just the bare minimum for you, just read these…

Sometimes you get back at someone in such a beautifully righteous way that you never forget it. Maybe you think of the perfect retort to someone's jab at you, and it gets a huge laugh. Or maybe, like these people, you come up with an utterly perfect solution to your problems. U/trexradar87 was curious what people's “best/funniest personal example of petty revenge ” was, and the answers are inspiring. Several people had to deal with lunchtime bullies who ate their food or stole it, and had some…

As a manager, you occasionally have to let someone go. A workplace never stays the same forever---people are hired, people quit, and people get fired.

Gratefulness doesn't come naturally to these people. Usually, people are taught from the time they're young that when someone gives you a gift , you should be thankful. Even if you don't like the gift, you should thank the person who got it for you. When they're five or under, kids tend to be brutally honest about the gifts they do or don't like, and it can be pretty funny for those around them. But when a teenager throws a fit because her parents bought her the wrong car? That's a whole lot le…

Karmic intervention is coming for those who need to be humbled. Just ask the people who shared their favorite stories of the times it's happened to them. It happens to every driver at some point: you're minding your business, enjoying a relaxing drive on the highway, when some dude decides to tailgate you. Some folks just have road rage, and all they want to do is compete with everyone else on the road. It seems like there are a few different types of these drivers. Some are trying to go fast,…

These pets have been on their baddest behavior, and they have no regrets about it! Some pets are just blatantly naughty, and they don't care who knows it. Lots of cats are this way: they'll solemnly knock glasses to the floor, zoom around your home knocking furniture over, or leave unsavory “gifts” for their owners to find.
