You can hope for the best, but sometimes travel plans are just out of your control.

Welcome to working in fast food: Where the pay is low and the customers become your sleep paralysis demon. What is it about working in a fact food restaurant that attracts the biggest of both male and female Karens ? Do the neon signs say “entitlement welcome” or something? Yeah, yeah, it's not every customer that walks through the doors of a fast food place that is the worst, but, if you've ever worked fast food before, then you know it is a good portion of them. Just take this recent Reddit p…

Throughout the course of the working week, you spend roughly 40 hours in the presence of your coworkers . This can be an incredible way to form tight bonds with other like-minded individuals. Throughout your adult life, it's more likely you'll make friends at work than from any other place, unsurprising given you're often spending more time with them than with your own family. But while you'll make some friends, it's more than likely that you'll be spending a lot of time with people who grind y…

There is nothing more frustrating in a job search than being dragged through an entire interview process only to be given a ridiculously low offer in the end. You would think this scenario could be avoided if the job candidate is transparent from the start about the kind of salary they are currently making and the kind of salary they would like to make in the new position. However, that is exactly what this Redditor did and they were still completely fooled by their recruiter. Of course, in thi…

In the cutthroat world of office politics, where the water cooler gossip flows as freely as the coffee, one woman found herself at the center of an absurd controversy. Meet our protagonist, a passionate home chef with a knack for whipping up delectable dishes from scratch. When asked about her daily lunch, she'd occasionally share with coworkers, but always on her own terms. One fateful day, a coworker made an offer she couldn't refuse: a baloney and mayonnaise sandwich in exchange for her cove…

When you're walking into an interview, it's always best to have done your research. Be prepared with some strong questions you might have that demonstrate your interest in the role and organization, and, of course, have some understanding about the role and industry you could find yourself stepping into. Doing otherwise would be like stepping into a boxing match with one hand tied behind your back, metaphorically speaking. And when you're interviewing with an employer, you're already taking the…

This move was a headache from start two finish for one small moving company. One of the movers shared their story to r/MaliciousCompliance---and it is a perfect example of that! The OP, u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC, writes that they worked at a tiny moving company, usually tackling one job at a time with their boss Mike. OP writes that the work was demanding, but it was worth it, because most people were truly grateful for the helping hand. Not everyone can move their own belongings, and even if you can,…

There are people in this world who manage to convince themselves that everything happening to them is someone else's fault. These aren't the people you want to be working with, living with, or dating. Rather, these are the people you want to avoid at all costs, but sometimes, you don't know that you're dealing with this kind of person until it's too late. That seems to be the case for Emma, the best friend of this Redditor . OP shared Emma's story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople su…

One customer had a hard time getting their internet provider to understand them. When they said they were moving off the grid , they weren't kidding! Rural life is appealing to many people because of that amazing peace and quiet you find while living in nature. Isolated from other houses, cars, and buildings, you can really appreciate the quietude. Some people even love to live really deep out in nature . In places like Alaska or other very rural locales, it's common that some folks won't have…

The fact that this employee has managed to pull off this arrangement for over a decade is a remarkable achievement for slackers everywhere. Seriously, if he continues to make this situation work out, this dude might retire nicely one day after collecting a paycheck for doing nothing for the majority of his professional life. That might not be everyone's dream. Heck, it might not even be my own. However, you have to hand it to this guy for coming this far. At this point, you may be wondering wha…

Entry-level positions should never be expected to be available to clients 24/7– that's the work of upper management jobs who send one email a day and make a quarter million (+) per year. Life's all about balance, and when your work-life balance is disrupted, company hierarchies can get challenged...

Rules usually exist for a reason. Generally, they come into being because someone did something and learned the hard way that the way they chose wasn't the way that it should be done, so it's decided that this way should never be attempted again by either them—or those surviving them—depending on how poorly their attempt went. There is another type of rule, though, and these rules are generally made up by a bored busybody middle manager on a random Wednesday afternoon because they need somethin…

This sailor is sticking to the honor code to help people in his community. Not everyone agrees with his hands-on methods, though. The people of the internet are divided over this guy's grandfather's story of malicious compliance. It's a classic tale of landlord versus tenant. Unless you live in a rent stabilized building, your landlord can charge you basically whatever they feel is fair for rent. This is a big problem these days, since many of us are priced out of living in even the most modest…

Working remote has its perks… but it also has its downfalls. Although you have the freedom to work in your own home (or wherever you please), it also means that upper management never actually knows who you are, which seems hunky-dory until you realize that, as an expendable employee, it's never been easier to get fired. Unfortunately for one employee, he got sideswiped by this reality in the worst way.

Things can get serious when it comes to shrubberies, especially when you're going head-to-head against the local HOA's mode meddling member… or on a quest for the Holy Grail. Whether it's a Knight of Ni or an HOA Karen, you'd best have your wits about you when they come around making demands about shrubberies and their appearances. When you decide to go meddling with things that you ought not to be meddling with you, you need to be careful. And that's because you might send someone on the warpa…

It takes a special kind of person to disturb others on a flight. If it happens just once, of course, we let it slide. If it happens twice, we exchange glares to let that person know they need to get their act together. If it happens thrice or even more times, it's time to confront them or, at the very least, give them a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/IndependentClub1117 , who was unfortunately seated directly in front of a Kevin. Th…
