Some people say revenge is a dish best served cold. Have you ever wished you could get even with someone who was rude to you? I know I have. That’s what one former barista did when she met her old nemesis, a snooty realtor who used to belittle her and her co-workers. When u/ Forsaken-Problem6758 decided to sell her house, she had the perfect opportunity to get back at the arrogant realtor who used to treat her like dirt. She pretended to be interested in his services and wasted his time with fa…

Some workplaces function as if they're kindergarten classrooms and as if the employees are children who are incapable of making their own decisions and undeserving of self-determination. It's insulting, really, when you work in one of these places where constant oversight and continual encroachment into what freedoms remain are a part of everyday policies. Existing completely devoid of agency saps any empowerment employees feel and, over time, will make them less motivated in their jobs. Of cou…

This is genius. One guy shared the way they got back at a thieving roommate — and their methods are certainly food for thought. Roommate relationships can make or break your living situation. If you decide to live with someone responsible and clean, you'll probably get along just fine. But of course, you don't really know what it's like to live with someone until the moving vans are pulling away from your house, and your roommate is setting the stove on fire with their dinner. You just have to…

Sisterly loyalties only go so far, and when one woman's sister, the bride, thought she'd play god with her own sibling's relationship, things backfired. Frankly, weddings bring out the cringe in all of us. Whether you're a sorry sap that cries during the vows (guilty as charged), the distant aunt who reminds the bride that they used to change their diapers, or you're the guest that drinks too much at the open bar, there's some social mixing that brings out the worst in everyone.

Group projects serve as an important lesson to students to prepare them for the rest of their working lives. That lesson is that you can never, and should never, rely on any of your working peers for support and that you'll—more than likely—end up doing their work for them. After all, isn't that the biggest takeaway that everyone has from these experiences? Sure, it's not like you'll ever hear about or remember the time that you had a group that worked perfectly together, but you'll always reme…

Being tasked with performing action items during an interview process that only a full-time employee should be doing is the reddest of red flags. No matter how desperate you are for work, you have to be aware that there is absolutely nothing stopping these potential employers from taking your unpaid work, running with it, and still not giving you the job at the end of the day. If this happens to you as a prospective applicant, please know that you should feel empowered enough to send an inquiry…

One retired lawyer spilled the beans to u/necronboy and some other factory workers back in the 90s, about 30 years ago, at a ‘End of the year break-up party’, as OP called it. This corporate lawyer recounted his most memorable case in all his years of working, and it had everyone listening with bated breath, impressed at his unique storytelling skills (hey, he is a lawyer, after all). According to OP, this was the greyest man you had ever seen, from his suit, to his hair, to his skin, and the y…

Apparently, one hotel suite complete with one king-sized bed and one pull-out couch would not be enough for this entitled Kevin. He threw a fit when the front desk agent informed him that the hotel was entirely booked and that she would not be able to offer him a second room for his two children. Mind you, the suite he did reserve was more than enough space for his family of four, and he must have known this when he made the reservation in the first place. Even a bystander waiting in line tried…

Karma has a personal vendetta

Some customers won't ever be happy with the work your company does, no matter how well you actually do on their project. Take this woman, for example. She decided to take a broken electronic to an electronics repair store. The OP writes that this customer “didn't like the bill. She didn't like the work. She claimed that we'd broken something else.” Nothing they did was good enough for this cantankerous customer.

It's easy to forget that history can be fun, especially if you are haunted by the memories of bad history classes in school, but there were some pretty bizarre historical events that continue to be hilarious today. Whether it's the Roman Empire, U.S. history in the 1970s, or the Salem Witch Trials, there were ridiculous people with ridiculous customs in every era. In fact, if there is one thing that unites all kinds of people across time, it's that people have always been and always will be str…

This flight attendant had an interesting way of keeping her passengers from tiring her out. Being a flight attendant is a job that's often glorified. Flight attendants can travel anywhere in the world with their job. And how hard could it be to serve people chips and sodas? Pretty hard, as it turns out, thanks to passengers who don't respect flight attendants and treat them like they're just there to serve the almighty passenger. There's a specific order that flight attendants have to do their…

You do not want to get into business with this Karen. In fact, you do not want your business to be anywhere near her business. Otherwise, she'll be under the impression that she is in charge of you and will therefore start making ridiculous demands as if she's your employer. Of course, this wasn't the case, but in a Karen's warped perspective of the world, facts do not seem to matter. This two-part thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/beverage5997 , who spoke of numerou…

Last week I was at a friend's birthday party, sipping some beer, chilling, and observing everyone quietly from the side, but admittedly tuning into conversations that were happening around me. I was surprised, per usual, at the sheer audacity some people have when they put down others for having a different opinion. Tell me you are insecure, without telling me you are insecure. Not everybody has to agree with you. Moreover, it's probably best that they don't. If you are always surrounded by lik…

Things took an interesting turn in this post, where a candidate shared their story of leaving an interview after feeling that their time had been disrespected. The candidate recounted their experience of attending an interview where the interviewer was late to attend. They found themselves still waiting after the appointment had been scheduled to start. After being asked to wait for a moment, a representative of the organization returned, claiming that the interviewing manager had been delayed…

This student is single-handedly tanking their school's project scores, and in typical teenage fashion, they don't care about the project at all. By senior year of high school , a lot of students are fully checked out. At that age, you probably have a car, a job, and dreams of life after high school, like attending college or moving out of your parent's place. Senior year rolls around and students find it hard to take it seriously. High school is so close to no longer mattering to you that schoo…
