Man oh man, proceed with caution, because this little AITA thread has an innate ability to stir up some fiery emotions. It sounds like it was a rather inconsiderate, senseless day at the workplace for the folks involved in this story. Hopefully everyone learned their lesson, and that restaurant cleans up its act ASAP. 

It's remarkable how some folks end up in the positions of power that they do. It sounds like the manager in this tech support tale was proactively playing with fire, and eventually all of their lazy, deceptive antics caught up with them. The employee getting the promotion is really the icing on the cake.

Sometimes, it's fun to revisit the past and appreciate just how strange some of the things were throughout the journey that was muddling through the education system as a young one. This Twitter thread from @melmadara will likely resonate with many folks out there. It might even make you feel far older than you did before. If you want to keep the nostalgia going after this thread, check out some nostalgic snacks from the 90s and 00s. 

Most every parent wants to teach their kid to be self sufficient, but there's a lot of disagreement on how to get there. Some parents opt for the "tell my child to tie their shoes without telling them how" approach and needless to say, there are mixed results. Making your kid try something and fail at it is a way to make them learn, but most parents would agree it's usually better to set them up with situations where failure doesn't mean death. Traumatizing your kids may come to bite you in the end when it comes to the dumbest things people had to convince their parents not to do.

Whether you're a fan of Taylor Swift's music or not, it's interesting to learn about the long, long history of musicians signing horrible deals early in their careers and getting completely shafted later on when it comes to the rights of their own music. It's crazy to think that there are recording artists today don't own their own music, like we're still living in some old-timey Motown story of forgotten legends and cartoonishly evil businessmen. @ThatsMauvelous details the weird legal stunts Swift had to pull to get the rights to her music back from her old label.

Anyone who has a twin knows that having a family member who looks exactly like you can result in some hilarious, if not panic-inducing situations. It sounds like the dude on the other end of this interaction had no idea just how close he was to taking some pepper spray to the face. For some more humorous, twin-inspired content check out this AskReddit thread about the best switcharoos that twins were able to pull off. 

The internet can oftentimes be a place where people break out the kinds of questions you'd never encounter in a real life scenario. This can make for quite the absolutely ridiculous series of interactions. Due to the recent news that Yahoo News will be closing its gates forever come May 4th, we decided it was only right to pay homage to the strange land with all of its comical absurdity, by spotlighting some of the best interactions to come out of the site. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about people's craziest "you don't see that every day" moments. Life has a funny way of surprising us just when we're settling into our respective routines. As you get older and grow more accustomed to being endlessly surprised by whatever life decides to throw your way on a given day, you pretty much can just settle on into a philosophy of expecting the unexpected. 

There's just no way of knowing if you'll snap a perfectly timed photo, and that's the beauty of it. That rare moment of a terrified child falling off a bike, an overconfident basset hound slipping on some ice, or smiling guy on a pier about to get smacked with a seagull are all wonderful moments of rare chance. Perfectly timed and well angled photos remind us of the stupid luck that goes into rare moments.

Thank you to the ever mystifying realm that is the Tumblr world. Did you wake up today thinking that you'd discover sea urchins have in fact been known to rock mini hats? No, no probably not. But here we are. That last bit at the end of the thread about how different sea urchins would try on the hats is a wonderfully wholesome little twist as well. 

Let this grueling tale of an entitled customer who makes a person working a customer service job's life a nightmare be a lesson to the rest of the world. Just don't be rude to people. Dig deep if you must, but dig deep for that kindness, because you never really know who you're talking down to. You very well might be talking down to someone who is connected to you professionally, and could swiftly end your career as you know it. Oh boy, to have seen the look of humbled horror on Karen's face when she connected the dots. 

While it is a teacher's responsibility to know things, they're still human and are capable of getting those things wrong. It's when a teacher says something wrong and doesn't own up to it when things get weird. What's the value in lying to kids just so that you can maintain a false sense of authority? Sometimes teachers don't give their students enough credit, like this tumblr thread about a teacher underestimating their students for a social experiment. With the veritable weirdness some educators display, luckily there are also teachers who pulled total bro moves.

Some neighbors are far worse than others. Some neighbors actually go out of their way to create a terribly stressful, tense, downright unpleasant environment for everyone else around them. And then it's as if any complaints are just more fuel for their fire. The neighbors in this tale of malicious compliance sound like they're in a league of their own. There was just never going to be a winning scenario with them. 

This isn't the first time that we've read a story about an egotistical manager coming into a scene, trying to make improvements around the company, and then ending up having the whole thing backfire terribly. The moral of the story here is to never mess with Sandra. Also, apparently sometimes group projects actually end up working out. 

No one can deny the far-reaching presence of the absolute unit. The biggest, baddest boys in town are those absolute units brimming with authority. Those big girthy boys full of meat and moxie. It's enough to make you run and hide, or bend the knee and respect the power of the absolute unit. It's like one of those real life boss fights.
