In this marriage, only one person gets to sleep in the bedroom when the couple argues. I always thought that was a silly sitcom trope, or perhaps just a luxury for people who live in houses and not small apartments. In any case, it's that classic bit where a husband and wife argue, and the husband is forced to sleep on the couch to atone for his behavior. Only in this dude's case, he wasn't even in the wrong! This dude and his wife have a really strange relationship dynamic, which commenters we…

Most of us can count our closest friends on one hand… meanwhile, this extroverted bride has 25 close friends ! If you have 25 friends or more, that's probably normal. If you're the extroverted type who befriends everyone you come across, you might have dozens of people you call your friends. When it comes to wedding planning, it's hard to narrow down that list of friends to include the ones you want to attend your big day. One bride who wrote in to r/AmItheA****** is going to have a lot of deci…

This bank worker had one of the strangest weekends of their life. Three-day weekends are a beautiful thing to look forward to. After that Friday's over, you have a full Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to travel or relax or sleep a lot. When you spend so much time at work, having a little bonus day off is a great feeling. This person was probably looking forward to their own three-day weekend , but their boss didn't let them enjoy it at all. As a contract worker, it seems like the OP, u/erikestrada…

When a client makes an oversight, the service provider usually swoops in and saves the day, but this time, being the hero meant coming in on a Saturday… And nobody wants to come in on a Saturday! Unless they're getting paid a million bucks, and that definitely wasn't the case here. The client worked at a medical center, and had had some builders come in and do some work. OP, the person providing service for the client (who we'll call CB) was setting up some equipment for them. CB forgot to call…

I'm fortunate not to have a job where I have to be on call during the weekends, so when Friday evening hits, my laptop is closed and stowed away until Monday morning. That should've been the case for this OP too, but unfortunately, it wasn't. He was out on a Saturday night celebrating his friend's engagement when he got a call at 9 p.m. from his boss. Considering she was calling his personal phone, not his work phone, he assumed it was an emergency, so he answered...

Memes to send to your favorite coworker before happy hour

Creepy dudes at a bar rarely catch a hint. You could literally tell them to their face that you're uninterested and the persistent vultures just think you're being coy. If only there were some audaciously insulting way that the victims of creepy bar flies could get payback against their leering peers? In this story, there definitely is.

I want to find a cave far, far away, and live in it.

You give your boss ample time to find someone to cover your shift when you need time off , but chances are they'll still forget and bug you to do the shift anyway. This person, u/Nannyneedabreak, definitely gets that. In their post to r/AmItheA**hole, this nanny wanted to know if she was wrong for the way her boss was treating her. As she noted, she wanted to go to her sister's wedding, and like a good employee, she gave her boss a ton of notice — seven months notice, in fact! That's plenty gen…

Every worker at this company had a peaceful weekend after their boss cut off everyone's email access . This boss reminds me of cats who really want to go outside when it's raining, so you don't let them out. When they finally get you to let them out, they immediately get drenched and want to come back inside. They'll look at you with this squint of anger, but of course, it's the cat's fault. Basically, some lessons are learnt the hard way because you can't anticipate the consequences of your ac…

Since you spend so much time at work , you may as well goof off a bit. At least some of the people below feel that way. With a label maker, the possibilities are really endless! Your ability to be passive-aggressive towards that coworker you always roll your eyes at has increased significantly once you hold that label maker in your hand. Other people chose to create signs , which are also hilarious and seem to lead to passive aggression. The signs I'm most curious about are the ones warning of…

When working in any industry, you may find that you come across tight-knit teams of employees who often meet up in their spare time, whether for drinks or a meal, for some good old 'team building'. In this case, it went further than that, as the place OP was employed at organized a team building during the weekend, pulling employees away from their spouses and families, yet not paying a dime. OP approached their boss and exclaimed that weekends were an important time for her to be with her spou…

Some work weeks hit harder than others. This week, the wind was sucked out of your sails and you're spiraling towards Earth with nothing on your mind except happy hour drinks on Friday at 5PM. Thank god it's Friday!

This company pulled a classic bait and switch on this poor employee. Some companies will do anything to appear like they're treating their employees well, while in reality, the employees are pretty miserable. One example is the “unlimited vacation” benefit that some workplaces offer. They lure you in during the hiring process, telling you you can take as much time off as you please. But in reality, you still have to get the time off approved by your boss , and face the guilt-tripping they'll tr…

This manipulative MIL chose an inopportune time to pop over for a visit, then had the audacity to get mad about it. Early one weekend morning, around 8 AM, this woman's mother in law decided it was the perfect time for her to make an unplanned visit. The surprise visit left the OP furious, and started a huge fight with her MIL , which she chronicled on r/JUSTNOMIL. U/qwerty46538 shared that one weekend morning , her MIL started blowing up her son's phone with texts and calls . Since it was a Sa…

It may be Monday, but we're already gearing up for the weekend!
