Wing shop worker baffles coworkers

'He messed up pretty much every order he got': Wing shop worker baffles coworkers with inability to learn simple tasks

Everyone has that one coworker who can't do anything right. Messing things up because they're new is one thing. But then there are people like this guy Andy, whose coworkers are sick and tired of him messing up food orders over and over again. This dude doesn't seem to grasp even the most basic of restaurant rules, such as “don't eat raw chicken, even if it's only a little bit raw," and “always wash your hands before preparing food.” These are things one should know even if they're not working…

Update: 'I did all this work just for it to end up like this?': Guy files for divorce after ex-wife confesses she stalked him for years before they met

Imagine learning that the story of how you met your partner was far from the truth. This dude had been telling his friends and family that he met his then wife seven years ago and knew her as the best friend of his little brother. Little did he know, however, that his wife knew exactly who her husband was when they first met. In fact, she knew who he was over two whole years prior to that "fateful" moment. Perhaps fateful is the wrong word, as it was a highly orchestrated and calculated meet cu…

'Built for feed, not speed': 20+ Colossal chonkers who are living large

Seeing utterly large animals is one of life's simple pleasures. These animals, they're so big, and yet they're just living their lives as normal. I'm such a fan of the large grizzly bears , who seem to grow quite round from either too much hibernation or eating too much human food. They make the funniest faces and just seem so out of place. Hefty cats are also funny; their size doesn't stop them from doing all the regular cat activities, just while being super fluffy at the same time. Speaking…

'She didn't say we had to be seen': Employee rebels against her boss who forced her to turn her camera on during virtual meetings, maliciously complying by sitting out of frame

One of the best perks of working from home is that you can look absolutely depraved, un-showered, and unprofessional– and nobody needs to know it! You can click through emails, study spreadsheets, and make Zoom calls, while wearing pajamas in the comfort of your home. Some bosses however– tyrannical micromanagers, that is– will insist on destroying that beautiful facade that you've grown to love and demand that their employees turn their cameras on for every meeting.

'Don't use price labels': Manager's extreme cost cutting measures cost them big time

'Don't use price labels': Manager's extreme cost cutting measures cost them big time

Extreme couponing is an interesting hobby that serves as a great past-time for house spouses who need a break from the tiring work of pitching the latest MLM fad to old acquaintances. It also makes for some pretty mediocre television that makes for a passable watch when you're drifting in a fever dream and too sick to change the channel. It does not, however, make for a good means of operating a business. And, yet, many managers and business owners out there employ it as a strategy, paying no h…

'I put in my formal notice and that’s when the fun started': Employee bests boss who made them drive 200 miles a day for work

'I put in my formal notice and that’s when the fun started': Employee bests boss who made them drive 200 miles a day for work and refused to sign off important paperwork

The only thing worse than a long commute is a long commute to a job you really dislike. Even if you bring a book, music, or a movie, commuting is still annoying to do every day. I used to commute 90 minutes each way twice a day, and it was soul-deadening. Even with entertainment, it's hard to sacrifice so much of your day every day without being paid. If you made me president, I would make every single company reimburse its' workers for their commuting time. If you have to take time out of your…

'Update: She was yelling and stomping': Roommate threatens to sue woman for putting vegetables in the food the roommate is trying to steal

There's always that one kid who is extremely picky about eating their vegetables, refusing to touch anything green in color, or that has the remotest possibility of being somewhat healthy. This was not helped in our childhood by the sheer amount of media depicting kids refusing to touch vegetables like it was cool. Still, you would expect that at some point during all those years between eight and thirty, there would be some maturing and growth and that, even if vegetables still aren't your fav…

We've been told to follow our dreams our entire life, but then when it comes to making that scary and drastic decision, everyone becomes a naysayer. Which is understandable, you don't want to encourage your friend to do something that is too risky and might end up destroying their career. However, the risk is worth it if that means you get to live out your dream. That little part seems to get forgotten when giving advice to a friend who is about to throw a curveball into their life.
