Most employees have had to deal with someone ever so slightly senior at the company thinking they are in charge of them. For those of you who have seen “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” yes, we are talking about the Perpentuas of the world. Here, we have an office Karen who assumed her coworker was her assistant and who frequently took credit for her coworker’s projects. This ultimately did not bother the coworker as she was confident in her work and knew that the real folks in charge were well aware of…

If they shenan once, you know they're gonna shenanigan.

All may be fair in love and war, but when it comes to family board game nights, you can expect the gloves to come off if you go for below-the-belt strategies. Nothing causes family arguments like a competitive board game—heck, even Candy Land games can get heated when someone draws that plum card at the end of a close game—or rockets ahead with a lucky snowflake draw early on. And that's before you get into games that have actual strategy Board games from the beginning of the “Board Game Renais…

In a matter of days, one dude has gone from a smug BF to a single guy whose coworkers won't stop making fun of him. These days, the internet often leeches into the real world, bringing consequences along with it. Even when you want to remain anonymous online, it can be difficult to do that. You can post anonymously, but there are no rules stopping people from screenshotting your post and sharing it with anyone they want to. This is especially obvious when posts gain a lot of buzz, just like thi…

Working parents are team No Days Off!

If there is one cardinal rule in life, it should be to never mess with a mom. If this story serves as proof of anything, it's this principle. At the very least, one should not try to mess with this particular mother. Her 7-year-old kid was unfairly deemed a bad apple by his first-grade teacher despite the fact that he had done absolutely nothing. It was one of those power-tripping cases where a teacher just wanted to flex her muscles and assert her authority… even if it was over a 7-year-old. O…

We'd do anything for our siblings… well, almost anything. Sure, you probably argue with your siblings at times. Maybe your sister steals your clothes or your brother won't do his chores, but you still love them regardless. This 17-year-old loves their sister so much that they were willing to help get back at a wedding guest for her! But the internet warned them that this plan might not go exactly as they envisioned. U/Dear-Dingo8699 was curious about wedding attire. They need to know if it's ev…

No misunderstandings here...

As a gamer myself, and having lived with other gamers, once that mechanical keyboard gets clacking and the team call-outs start rolling in intense moments, it's going to be noisy for everyone else around you. With absolute certainty, when you're intently focused on something, you underestimate the amount of noise you're making. In the early hours of the morning, these sounds are amplified by the relative quiet of the world around us. And when you add paper-thin walls to the equation, you're goi…

Up next, these employees got called to HR for some pretty hilarious reasons, like one worker who sadly recalled that “ I'm not allowed to talk about turtles anymore .”

Sometimes, the best way to communicate to your new manager that they're doing a bad job is to do exactly what they have instructed. Perhaps you have tried to do the decent thing and explain exactly why a new policy isn't practical or efficient for the people who actually execute said tasks and responsibilities, but we all know that most managers are intellectually incapable of processing that kind of criticism in a productive way. Instead, they would rather interpret this criticism as indicativ…

Talking about money can be so gauche. It depends on the circumstances. Should you talk to your coworkers about how much they're making? Yes, you absolutely should. But is it the best thing to talk about at a dinner party? Not so much. They say that money talks and wealth whispers, and this is a great example of it. Some people get their paychecks and just have to buy designer clothes, expensive cars, or the best new tech just so they can show it off to everyone around them. It's the kind of per…

This was anything but a clean break. Obviously, breaking up with a long-term partner can be complicated, whether it's dealing with the concrete logistics of moving out or the emotional adjustments of being single again. Even when it seems like the breakup was mutually agreed upon for both parties, it's quite possible that deep down, one person wanted this far more than the other, as was the case with this Redditor and his now ex-girlfriend. His ex made it crystal clear following their breakup t…

In a perfect world, everyone would have to pass a test to prove they are worthy of having children. The fact that anyone can become a parent, without any requirements or supervision, is quite honestly insane. In that perfect world, where parents have to prove their capabilities to become parents, they would actually have a good relationship with their kids. And who wouldn't want to have that? A healthy and happy relationship with their kids? Since we are not living in a perfect world, parents l…

It's pretty safe to say that your employer will never fully appreciate your contribution until after you leave. At this point, they will realize that your contribution isn't quite as easy to replicate as they thought, leading to productivity losses that they will have to pay a lot more to replicate. Of course, they could have just given you a moderate raise and saved more money than they ended up spending. A certain part of this is misreading the relationship, overestimating the hold they have…

Romance is still alive. Just ask this couple, who show their love for each other through little treats! Love is all about the little things, after all. It's about remembering your partner's favorite snack at the grocery store, or surprising them with a special date night, or putting on their favorite music when they get home from work to cheer them up. There are a million tiny ways to say “I love you.” But not everyone has a relationship that's so special: a lot of folks will settle for the bar…
