This guy discovered that he accidentally invited his boss to his weekend getaway with his friends.

The unspoken rule that it's against company policy to have fun is not always so unspoken… One man completed 4 years of contract work to the US Army in Germany, and at the end of said contract, was homeless as he and his family waited for their household goods to arrive back in the States. The company authorized a rate for the hotel he would stay at in the following thirty days. He figured out budget-wise what he could and couldn't do, and took his family to visit EuroDisney in Paris, staying in…

This confused freelancer is unsure if they asked for way too much money to babysit their cousin's three youngsters. U/HENNYDEFN was pretty sure they weren't asking for too much money, but they checked with the r/AmItheA**hole community to be sure. As the OP writes, they're actually a software engineer who freelances on the side. They make between $40-$60 per hour at their official roles, but they were willing to offer a family discount when their cousin asked them to babysit . This cousin is br…

When the CEO of this IT company demanded changes to his email system, he totally miscalculated the consequences.

This poor dude just wanted to have a romantic getaway with his GF… until she brought a bunch of her close friends along. Here's the latest update from u/Gradtattoo_9009, who originally wrote in to r/AmItheA******. In his first post, the OOP shared that he and his GF have been dating for quite some time, and he was ready to pop the question. The OOP planned a fun trip full of winter activities like snowboarding and skiing , and told his GF months in advance. The only problem is his GF just could…

This HR department just wouldn't listen to their employees. U/bolshe-viks-vaporub shared this story of malicious compliance against their own employer. As the OP writes, their company got traded to a DoD contracting company, leading to changes in company policy . For the OP, a hard worker who often worked way more than 40 hours per week, things just weren't adding up. They tried repeatedly to contact the company's HR department about the mistake, but were continually ignored. Finally, they deci…

This guy tried to paint his wife as annoying, but the truth came out in the comments.

It never feels good to hear friends making plans that you're not invited to, and it's hard to know what to do in that situation. Do you speak up and try and get yourself invited? Or do you slink back and pretend that you can't hear the conversation? This friend, “Jessica" chose the former and got herself a (reluctant) invitation to the trip by publicly shaming her mutual friend that was planning the trip. Information was shared regarding the cost and the itinerary of the trip “Things started to…

While traveling, picking the proper hotel room for your visit doesn't seem like the most important detail… until it's time to rest and unwind on the first night of your stay. One fed-up hotel clerk shared their story to r/Talesfromthefrontdesk. As they recall, this husband made room reservations at this hotel, but he chose a busy weekend to stay. When choosing between two rooms, one large and one small, he hastily chose the small one. But later on, his wife was furious with the arrangement. The…

Call center employees have to deal with one bazillion Karens, but this one in particular left the call operator with a huge grin. In the r/talesfromcallcenters subreddit, one brave phone operator shared this tale of stunning ignorance . Maybe if Karen reads this story now, she'll finally understand how badly she botched the math in this equation. As the OP tells it, this Karen went on vacation and ran up a lot of money in roaming fees. Say you're on a tropical island and you check Facebook – no…

Does this guy even hear himself?

Sorry, Europe is expensive.

Camping can be incredibly relaxing - it's a great way to reconnect with nature. Getting out into the great outdoors sounds good on paper. But once you arrive at the campground, you have to assemble the tent (where's that missing last piece that is somehow crucial to the tent staying upright?) Then, you might see a big bug (or fifty). And the local wildlife will make themselves known - you're in their house, after all. Camping can be so much fun when you relax and unwind, as long as you don't en…
