The story that follows is an account of a clever customer who is tired of being inconvenienced by customer service representatives. To put things in perspective, OP is a business owner who decided to relo…

'OK, keep the deposit and do it all by yourself': Guy dumps girlfriend, moves out and maliciously complies with ex's ultimatum so she has to clean for once

It's important to be careful with your wording over text, especially if you're delivering an ultimatum to your ex. This woman was trying to threaten that if her ex didn't come to clean their apartment before he moved out, she would keep all of their security deposit. The trouble was that he had no interest in doing all of the work and was pleased to let her take the money. She did not anticipate that he might maliciously comply with her demands in a way that would make her have to clean the apa…

'Our turnover rate is through the roof': Entitled boss mocks employee for taking first day off in 10 months, gets instant karma when half of his employees quit

Ever had a lousy boss or a job that you absolutely hated ? Well, imagine working at a place with a jaw-dropping 92% turnover rate. Yup, you heard it right. Our OP, in ten whole months, took just one, yes ONE day off, and it was actually just a half-day. Why? Well, he had a nasty sunburn that turned into sun poisoning. So, when he informed his boss that he had to bail out in the middle of his shift for a doctor's appointment, his boss couldn't help but chuckle. Sunburn wasn't a good enough reaso…

'He tried to fight... [so] I got security involved': Entitled parents at a metal concert bully the crowd into letting their small children squeeze to the front; woman puts the dad in his place

Metal concerts are intense. For anyone who loves accidental punches to the face, getting their toes stomped, and eating the floor before having a 250lbs man help them back to their feet knows that a mosh pit is not a place for the weak. And it's certainly no place for a small child.

'Well my boss said they are transferable': Employee finds loophole in bogus parking policy, maliciously complies until he gets what he wants

If you have to fight for a parking space at work, your employers are not taking care of you. That was certainly the case for this Redditor , who worked in security at a luxury hotel that had one parking lot for all employees and guests. When his employers updated the policy to ensure that at least one-fourth of the spaces were reserved for employees, OP and his coworkers were told to apply for parking permits. Now, if you don't necessarily drive the same car to work every day, you would run int…

'Professional sleeper': 20+ jobs that pay you to do literally nothing

Some people have dream jobs of running their own businesses or being extremely successful; others just want to do nothing for a living. It's not a crazy idea in this day and age. I mean, there are certainly people high up in the world who collect tons of money but have everyone else at their company do all the work. Why can't we lower-level employees aspire to be like this? You may consider this to be a lazy goal; we consider it to be ambitious. After all, there are not that many well-paying jo…

Retail Manager Accosts Off-Duty Security Guard and Demands He Get Back to Work

There really are very few jobs that are as soul-draining, and where you are treated as poorly, as retail. Even if that list is short, one job that might just manage to qualify is that of a retail security guard. It's even more thankless, and more looked down upon than retail itself; sure, you don't have to complete the same repetitive tasks as the retail workers do, but that repetitiveness is usually replaced with nothing. Nothing, that is, except the increased abuse from both clientele and ret…
