With friends like these, who needs enemies? In a satisfying update to her original post, this OOP shared the story of her and her friends trying to get tattoos and piercings together, only to get kicked out by the studio! This woman and her friends headed to a tattoo parlor . The OOP's friends encouraged her to try out a ball machine at the studio that randomly selects a tattoo for the user. However, what OOP didn't know was that after she chose a ball, she was apparently obligated to get a tat…

If you're looking for a sign, this is it. Is your boss treating you as if you're easily disposable, adding additional work duties that are not technically a part of your job description? Maybe it's time you look for a place where you'll be appreciated — where you won't be taken for granted, a place that will properly compensate you for the amount of work you do. In an earlier post, you'll find I wrote about a tired employee, working on an understaffed team at a restaurant, who shared his ‘horri…

Working interviews are a thinly veiled scam intended to draw upon a new source of unwitting workers for free resources, ideas, and labor.

When the instructions are unclear, horrible bosses and managers have no one to blame but themselves.

If you don't believe in karma, you've got another thing coming… You can't just jump jobs burning bridges every time because those people you left in your chaos will come back to haunt you. Blue collar workers in trade know that has a GD fact. Recently, a construction worker took to Reddit to share their own satisfying story where they got to serve their very own piping hot plate of karma to a toxic ex-coworker. So this guy worked at a construction company and was fine until they brought one of…

After one guy went behind his GF's back, and his big purchase began tearing this couple apart. When it comes to pushing boundaries in a relationship, this dude majorly messed up. In a post to r/AmItheA*****, u/throwaway84200t wrote that his GF doesn't speak to her sister . She hasn't told him exactly why, but they had not talked in four years. Then the OP began talking to her sister — apparently under the guise of trying to get the two sisters back in touch. But then this post goes off the rail…

Karens never fail to make a scene in increasingly bizarre situations!

This HR department just wouldn't listen to their employees. U/bolshe-viks-vaporub shared this story of malicious compliance against their own employer. As the OP writes, their company got traded to a DoD contracting company, leading to changes in company policy . For the OP, a hard worker who often worked way more than 40 hours per week, things just weren't adding up. They tried repeatedly to contact the company's HR department about the mistake, but were continually ignored. Finally, they deci…

We want the best for those that we care about—this can sometimes present a moral quandary… Is it ethical to do something that would be otherwise unethical if it saves said loved one from certain disaster? This can be incredibly difficult to get your head around, providing a much more difficult philosophical dilemma than whether or not someone is wrong for stealing their roommate's cat. The idea of doing harm to prevent a greater one brings a certain trolley problem to mind: Is it wrong to do so…

These entitled women have apparently never heard of coffee shop etiquette! U/InbhirNis shared this great tale of petty revenge , which all started at a cafe they frequent near their work. The OP writes that there is communal seating, so they scooted to the end of the table, and were just minding their business before a few women showed up . These women wanted to sit at the communal table , which the OP agreed to. But then the pair started demanding even more seating, and the OP's plan for the p…

A boss with an imperious attitude… what else is new? If you've ever been reprimanded unfairly by upper management, join the club. To think we're all humans at the end of the day who have their own issues, go to the bathroom and cringe at the lack of toilet paper, drink one too many beers, cry over an ex… it's crazy how authority can make you forget all that, leading to unjust actions toward an employee. This employee in particular was a model worker — so he was a little more than surprised when…

Management doesn't have any idea what you do; let's just get that out of the way. Sure good managers might be great at that higher level of planning, business relationship, and organizational-navigating junk… but when it comes to the actual production? When it comes to what you do ? It's all just numbers and words on a spreadsheet. And let's be real; it doesn't matter— nothing really matters in a modern company, so long as the money machine goes brrrr, that line on the chart goes up and investo…

This one had people totally split in the comments as to who was in the right.

Working your way up in a company usually means ending up in a middle management position at least for a good little while. Starting from the bottom of the pyramid means you have a longer way to work up, but it isn't impossible. So you work hard and harder until it would be absolutely bonkers for you not to make your way to the top of the pyramid. However, some people skip some steps in a very unfair way because of nepotism. If you don't know what nepotism is, it's basically when people get hire…

A group of grad students decided to move in together, but their tight schedules are causing a major rift in their friendship.

This must be the plot of either a screwball comedy or a total horror nightmare!
