What a world we live in where kindness is something we have to “sneak” into our place of employment. It takes a truly caring person to risk their job in order to do the kind thing—especially when it comes to the U.S. and its homeless population. Most of the rules and regulations go against helping a houseless person. You constantly see employees “shooing” away homeless people from their property as if they were nothing less than a rodent who wandered in. It's heartbreaking. But what are you sup…

It's 2024 and there's still a wage gap between men and women. Although bigotry in the workplace is no surprise anymore, you'd think that out in the purchasing world, money would speak louder than gender. However, in our next tale, a chauvinistic realtor shoves his foot in his mouth after assuming a woman's financial capability... And no amount of fresh-baked cookies, commission incentives, or low-interest rates could change her mind after that blunder.

Does anyone else smell a lawsuit coming? It’s pretty hard to imagine sillier circumstances to fire someone than to fire a pregnant employee mere hours before they are going to give birth. Perhaps this boss has some extremely backward sense of right and wrong, but you would think someone else at this company would inform him that pregnant women are a protected class. What’s even crazier is that this woman’s husband also works at the same company, so now there is just bad blood all around that to…

‘Your granny is a petty revenge master’

It's not always easy to quit a job, even when all the signs are telling you to leave. The journey often starts with a little voice in the back of your head saying something to the effect of “This ain't it.” Eventually, that voice gets louder and louder and you find yourself going through a short period where you attempt to convince yourself that you love it here. You try to tell yourself that other friends of yours have it so much worse or that being mistreated is better than looking for new wo…

Life is like a roll of toilet paper; the closer you get to the end, the faster it runs out. But does that sense of urgency in your old age entitle you to be a bossy know-it-all? Not exactly.

In a quiet neighborhood, there's a strange story about a neighbor who's a bit of a Karen, but not the loud type. Instead of causing a scene in public, she sneaks around at night, quietly planning her revenge. That is, until her neighbor caught her on video, promoting the OP to file a police report against her. Once the word got out in the neighborhood, it was soon revealed that the OP wasn't the only one dealing with Karen's mysterious actions. It turns out she's been sneaking around to...

Innovation doesn't always move us forward… sometimes it moves us backward or sideways. Not every innovative idea is a good one. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should! It's hard to know which ideas are winners until you try them. The creatives of the world have plenty of ideas to suggest, but the ones that wind up turning into new products sometimes leave a lot to be desired. These people were asked about tech inventions that are “actually worse than its predecessor," and pe…

Arrogance is the worst trait a person can have for a number of reasons. Life is dynamic; you can be at the top one day and the bottom the next. It's important to always be humble and treat others with kindness since success is relative as opposed to absolute. The story below is an account of an employee who overcame the system. Due to an injury, OP has been released from his present role. According to the terms of the employment contract, the hiring company has the legal right to terminate the…

It's often the case that love blossoms from the most unexpected places, and you might think it surprising that this couple, a flight attendant and a pilot, would bond over a confrontation with an entitled Karen. The Karen was demanding that the flight attendant upgrade her to first class, mistaking her for a gate agent. This escalated to a point where the pilot of the flight, who was passing by for boarding, felt the need to step in. In her fury, Karen attempted to lash out at the pilot, which…

Never underestimate the power of a shovel! This Karen tried to get away with stealing a neighbor's parking spot while the neighbor was literally shoveling snow to make room for her boyfriend's car. Did this entitled lady think that her neighbor was simply making room for her own car? It takes a certain kind of audacity to take something that's not yours right in front of that person! But that's the kind of warped mindset Karens have when they want something. It doesn't matter who it belongs to;…

For some inexplicable reason, basic comforts are considered to stand in opposition to efficiency—if you're uncomfortable, you'll work harder being the deeply flawed logic at play. If there's a comfort that can be denied… you bet it will be, all in the name of bigger bonuses for the executives and higher returns for shareholders. There seems to be a societal impression that customers will think someone who is comfortable won't offer good service, which is a complete farce. One can't help but won…

Anytime there's a contest at a minimum wage job, it seems like whatever corporate baboon who thought of the idea has never actually stepped foot into the establishment they're attempting to manipulate. As out of touch as corporate contests are and no matter how pathetic the 'prize' is, there are still desperate employees who take part in the event. But the real winners, at the end of the day, are always the C-level suit monkeys counting their bonus checks and buying yachts.

If you're going to poke the bear, expect the claws—or whatever that saying is. Basically, if you are going to try and pull something shady off, you should always be prepared for it to backfire. Karma does not taste so sweet when you're on the receiving end. Take, for instance, this know-it-all neighbor trying to finagle his way out of responsibilities. Apparently, this guy was renting a house that shared a fence with its neighboring house. Unbeknownst to the landlord, this guy was notoriously n…

We've all heard about the underwhelming gifts companies sometimes give their employees—whether it's a questionable free breakfast, an after-hours company party where you're expected to contribute a dish, or a mediocre pen. Those in corporate America have pretty much seen it all. However, one woman discovered a significant mistake in the company's finances that could have cost them millions of dollars. Going above and beyond, she thoroughly investigated the numbers and was proven right. Despite…

Satisfyingly insulting insults that won't put a quarter in the swear jar
