There are plenty of perks to working out regularly, but for many of us, they simply do not match the satisfaction that comes with not moving from the couch and eating the entire contents of a pint of ice cream in front of the TV. Of course, exercise gives you endorphins, as Elle Woods famously taught us. However, the process of getting off one's behind, putting on exercise clothes, and going to the actual gym can feel like a Sisyphean undertaking. It doesn't matter how many good-looking people…

Gym rats are a curious subset of humans. Sure, we are technically a part of the same species, but personally speaking, I could not feel more distant from someone who frequents the gym more than five times a week, and even that is excessive to me. One of the best aspects of the internet, and there are occasionally some good things about it, is that you can come to understand people who are different from you through articles, social media, and, of course, memes. These memes for gym rats taught m…

If your best friend has their fly down, a stain on their shirt, or food in their teeth, it's common courtesy to tell them, right? Coming from a friend, flagging a wardrobe malfunction isn't uncouth, but at the gym, it's a different story.

If you have ever worked somewhere that included a sales department, then you are familiar with the clashing of heads. Salespersons tends to have a little bit of a more inflated ego than the other employees. Why is that? Who knows? Maybe because they think they're the money makers since they're the ones making the deals. But the deals wouldn't even be able to happen if the product didn't exist, so maybe they should be taken down a peg. Well, that thankfully happened in this story we found on Red…

Born from humility and self-doubt, imposter syndrome can strike at any time, but when you have double your salary on the line, it helps to get a second opinion.

In every workplace, there's always that one coworker you can't imagine the company without. Usually it's some devoted employee who's been with the company so long that they've carved out an entire department-worth of responsibilities with their swivel chair– these coworkers are usually heavily praised, loved dearly, and begged to stay. Bosses with half a brain cell bopping around in their heads know that this kind of employee is invaluable...

Companies that thrive on shady dealings rarely pay the price. But when a business is being sketchy and ripping off their customers, it feels pretty dang good to see it all go up in flames, watching them get exactly what they deserve. In this case, a lab technician for a scammy company gave his boss a taste of his own medicine instead of helping them pick up the pieces after their skullduggery schemes backfired.

There are rules at the gym , but you wouldn't know it by the way these people tried to work out. Let me tell you a story. The year was 2011, and a brand new Planet Fitness opened up in my area. It was so cheap back then that even as high schoolers, my friends and I could pay monthly to go work out . Gym class? Nah, we couldn't be bothered. We felt like we were adults, and we wanted to work out like them. It didn't matter that we didn't know how to use any of the machines; we'll figure it out as…

The blocking of gas pumps is one of those everyday entitled behaviors that, while relatively innocuous, tips over into mildly infuriating levels of moderate frustration. These people probably are the same ones who cut up an empty turn lane or shoulder to dodge traffic. Their behavior isn't illegal in any sense, but it defies the sensibilities of us more civilized and compassionate folk. These truckers had had enough of people (including other truckers) blocking fuel pumps by taking their 30-min…

I thought this was a free country

Negotiating a raise is always a tough conversation. For employees who have a cheapo boss and have been taken advantage of their entire career, it's dang near impossible to get what you deserve when it comes to salary improvement.

Have you ever worked for tips before? When you work a job where tips are your main source of income, that becomes the primary focus of each day capitalizing on how to get more tips. In some cheapskate states, restaurants are allowed to pay you LESS than minimum wage because it's expected that you'll be making more in tips on top of that, thus making restaurant work a minimum wage job again. * huge eye roll * As everyone knows, that's not guaranteed...

What is time?

Going to work is undoubtedly the lamest necessary evil in our lives. Not only are you wasting 8 precious hours each day, but you're lining the pockets of some nepo-baby CEO who's only ever worked on his yacht racing 'career' and assembling his Burning Man looks. While your boss may have never worked a day in their life, you're all too familiar with the creaking sounds of the freeway when it's commuter traffic time, that feeling when you skip breakfast because you're running late to the office,…

For some of us, going to the gym is an obsession; for others, it's a fantasy.

Mean girls will always be the mean girl. It's as if they have a toxic cloud of rude energy that surrounds them and compels them to be complete jerks to the people around them, manipulating people's insecurities and using deep trauma and feeble attention seeking tactics to control the people around them. One super extra mean girl, u/blueisnotcreative , is the worst kind of mean girl– the kind that plays innocent and pretends to be everyone's friend. Yuck. Recently, Blue posted on AITA, asking if…
