I think this employee was very clever about how he pulled this off. Obviously, I don’t think the tactic is bulletproof, but it definitely worked for him. I also loved the figurine’s involvement and how, years later, it turned out to be a treasure for other reasons.

Man employs a very peculiar tactic involving a figurine to get both a raise and a bigger commission at work: ‘So for the next week and a half I randomly started removing things from my desk area (very whimsical) and finally that item’

Homeowner witnesses their neighbor attaching his hose to their backyard spigot as soon as they leave their home, proceeding to fill his pool for 30 minutes: 'What would you have done?'

32-year-old woman is the only one not invited to stay in an Airbnb with family on vacation: ‘They go to dinners without me all the time, do things that I specifically say I’d like to do, and claim they forgot to invite me’

I love that people feel the need to make silly confessions like this. I don’t think lying is always bad if it doesn’t really hurt anybody. I’m surprised to know the barber never realized the English-speaking man was actually French.

Frenchman pretends he is English and makes his barber believe he doesn’t speak a word of French for years to avoid small talk: ‘He doesn't speak a single word of english, the only few times we interacted I used google translate on my phone’

Manager orders support staff to close every customer complaint before leaving the day, causing a flood of duplicate cases in the system: 'The rule was quietly reversed'

This could qualify as a horror story. It would be a good A24 film. A man gets smart-fridge notifications in the middle of the night while everyone is sound asleep. In this case, discovering a snack-eating ghost would’ve been a better outcome than what really happened.  Infidelities are not solved via an exorcism
