Shopping for the Holidays often brings out the worst in people. This could not be more apparent than on Black Friday. Hopefully, we all survived this tumultuous day by staying home and doing all our holiday shopping online this year like a sane person. However, who can't resist hearing about the crazies who still run amok in retail stores the day after Thanksgiving as if their lives depended on that 40% discount? Here , we have a retail worker who was unfortunately scheduled at the start of Bla…

We all know that it's not easy to keep a home pristine, but these things are going to be quite difficult to keep clean at all! The thing about cleaning is that you're never really done with it for good. You could spend a whole weekend sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, and scrubbing your home from top to bottom. But still, within just a few hours, you'll find dishes piled up in the sink and dust bunnies on the floors. You just have to try your best with the little time you have. Some people bought t…

We all want and need an advocate in the workplace, someone to have our backs in case other coworkers or authority figures start taking us for granted. Of course, in an ideal world, that's what human resources should be, but let's be realistic for a second. Human resources is all about protecting the company at the end of the day. Sure, they might project an image of solidarity with employees but always be careful not to be fooled by this facade. Now, this manager was against their boss's reques…

Sure, confront the person fixing the problem instead of the problem itself. That makes sense!

Cars and the parking of them is just one of those things that's always going to cause issues… When it comes to where you're looking to leave your one-ton hunk of metal on wheels, everyone has their own ideas about where you should or shouldn't, regardless of whether or not their ideas are in accordance with any actual laws or rules… Even if you're parking in front of your own home, there's bound to be some neighborhood busybody around just itching to tell you that you shouldn't do it. That's wh…

This woman felt unbelievably awkward at a party after her BF failed to tell her a really important detail. After that, read about some wedding mishaps that made these couples' big days a little stranger, like one person who lamented that “ Our wedding cake… fell apart because the icing was too heavy .”

"Never pre-game a work event"

And he might even get bankrolled by his supporters on Reddit...

Some class rules are meant to be challenged. In this day and age, it's simply most convenient for students to take notes on their laptops. While of course, we understand the concern teachers may have about playing games, texting, or online shopping, the truth of the matter is that if students aren't going to pay attention, that will be their loss both in the short and long term. Forbidding all students from using their laptops in class because of a few students who cannot help but misbehave is…

Next time someone asks why the younger generation changes jobs every few years, instead of sticking with the same company for 30 years, you can simply send them this story as an explanation. The sad reality is that it is much easier to get further in your career by changing workplaces every few years than by staying in the same place. Companies today would rather hire external employees than promote employees from within, which means people find themselves changing jobs altogether in order to m…

Retail workers of the world are in for a crazy day each and every Black Friday . Just in case they wanted to try and escape that day, many employers refuse to let their employees take that day off. It's so important to the sales of the stores that they need all hands on deck. They know that as soon as they open their doors to the customers, there will be a wave of people rushing to get their hands on the newest tech, the hottest clothes, or whichever toy is THE holiday toy for kids (in previous…

You can't have it both ways, lady! You can't cheat on your partner and then expect to maintain the life you had before you got caught. Thankfully, this was not a situation where young kids and disputed property were involved, so the separation was easy to make for the Redditor… but not for his now ex-girlfriend. She expected that the original poster (OP) would have the so-called “decency” to keep bankrolling her and her new beau's lifestyle while they get on their feet. As OP makes clear in his…

Much like breaking off a relationship with a romantic partner, when you decide to leave your place of work, there are bound to be lasting feelings that remain once you leave. Good or bad, you had a relationship with the people at your workplace, your coworkers and boss, and leaving them also means leaving with an impact. Sometimes, similarly to a romantic relationship, that impact may inspire people to take action, just like an ex who decided to call their former loved one. In our case, the for…

It's often said that anyone at a comedy show is fair game, but even then, there's a limit to what constitutes “fair.” Even if you're up on a stage, you can't expect to just go around saying what you want without any consequence. If you go after the person who is basically responsible for whether or not you get the gig, you'd better do so tactfully and not

One older sister has ruined her own chances of getting cheap gifts this year. She could've easily gotten some excellent prices through her younger sister's job, but she insisted on being impolite. Some people, like the older sister in this story, think that retail work isn't “hard work." That couldn't be further from the truth! Of course working at a store is a real job, and employees might even break a sweat while working. There are clothes to fold, customers to assist, boxes to unpack, floors…

If you ever got fired from a job you knew you did so well, you must have had this one thought cross your mind – ‘Fools, they made the mistake of their lives'. Meaning, as you leave the job, you know they will regret letting you go when they see just how much work isn't getting done without you. The best thing that can happen to you in this scenario, is for them to eventually crawl back on all fours, and beg you to take your job back. Sure, it is quite unlikely that something like this would hap…
