'She cost the company $300+ for all work trips': Frugal employee turns business trips into lavish vacations after his boss nitpicks his expense reports

Executives will argue that business trips are important because they're maintaining relationships with their clients, but if you ask me, it's because they just want to get an all-expenses-paid vacation.

'Can you make that dude wait?': Satisfying justice finally comes for those who wait patiently in line in the form of 'IDGAF' employees

We have all been there, standing, sitting, or whatever, waiting in line for what feels like forever. It's not fun and none of us like it, but we wait, because we live in a society ( said in a George Constanza voice )! Nobody is entitled to be first in line for something like McDonalds. Come on, people. We've evolved beyond that kind of behavior. But actually, apparently, we haven't, because there are still many cutters in the world. You can't just cut in line and not know that everybody hates y…

Airplane passengers agree that, ‘people who ask you to switch seats are the ultimate thorn in your flying experience’: Personal stories are shared to back this decision

Flying used to be a luxury experience. Never for anyone under 50 years old, but it apparently used to be very relaxing and fun. Now, the first thing you experience when you get to the airport is the unnerving feeling someone might have slipped a kilo of illegal substances into your bag while you nervously walk around in your socks… Doesn't sound as luxurious anymore. Plus, if you want any sort of comfort on the flight, you need to dish out the cash. So if you want extra legroom or just the assu…

'[I] shattered his "Ricky Bobby" dreams': Mechanic humiliates boss during mandatory team building event

This boss doesn't care what his employees think, he wants to drive go karts with them. Go karts are so much fun that it's hard to blame u/tee_ran_mee_sue's boss for wanting to visit a racing track. Though you can find them at amusement parks, go karts aren't just for kids. Adults can live out their speed racing fantasies through these zippy little cars. You and a bunch of your pals can hop into the go karts and race through a tire-lined track to your heart's content. You know who doesn't care f…

Top Choosing Beggars of the Week (August 5, 2023)

Top 20+ Choosing Beggars of the Week (August 5, 2023)

It's remarkable how people can be demanding and desperate at the same time. One has to wonder what possesses these choosing beggars to be so audacious. Not that I am envious of this complete lack of self-awareness, but I do have to consider what life would be like if I had that level of confidence to just demand things with literally no leverage whatsoever. Perhaps there's a “nothing left to lose” mentality that comes with being a choosing beggar. Perhaps

'[She] changed our sign to say 'open': Gift shop employee stops customer who insisted on shopping in a closed store

This customer has a life hack to get into any store . All you have to do is take a little initiative. What could go wrong? U/Sparrowmoss shared this wild story of customer entitlement . Some customers take deep offense to stores being closed, or having hours of operation in general. If the customer can't get that random item at 10:59pm, they'll insist that the store is in the wrong. It's not the employee's fault that customers procrastinate so badly that they intend to shop at a store that's cl…

'Our boss had banned... birthday celebrations': 30+ "Cool" companies that turned out to be cringy and toxic

Businesses love to brag about their company culture , but their curated image doesn't always match the reality of working there. These employees, who replied to u/terpkawa's question, had a lot to say about that. The OP asked Redditors about the times they worked for companies that touted amazing cultures or benefits, but then really did not deliver. It's nearly impossible to tell from the outset what it'll be like to work somewhere, no matter how closely you look for red flags during the inter…

[My] manager never backs me up': Retail worker gets back at manager for refusing to "back them up" when dealing with customers

When working retail and customer service, you're playing a constant tug-of-war with customers over policy, laws, and even the simple ethics of trading—and it's not uncommon to have someone standing in front of you passionately quoting some piece of slightly relevant legislation their aunt's friend told them about, with flecks of spittle flying in all directions. The only problem is that they clearly don't fully comprehend the trading act that they're quoting, but there's no way they're going to…

‘You’re not getting a refund': Hotel clerk refuses to engage with Karen guest's requests during checkout

When working at a hotel, you get to meet a variety of different people, and some of them are the type to attempt getting a discount or even an entire refund for the smallest of things that could easily be fixed if only they would use their mouth to communicate effectively instead of to argue. In this case, Karen thought she was going to win gold by conveniently complaining about her bathroom fan not working after she'd already checked out of the hotel. She approached the front desk clerk, OP, a…

'[I'm] not going to waste my manager's time on a complaining Karen': Waiter stands up for solo diner who finds himself stuck in the middle of a classic Karen conundrum

When we say “Karen conundrum," we're being nice. Any situation that warrants the person to be called a Karen (and not because that is their actual name), means that the situation is one of the most annoying and tiresome situations. When you get deemed a Karen, it isn't because you look like your name might be Karen, it is because you are acting like an entitled grown child who is quite literally too old to be throwing this kind of toddler-aged tantrum. Too often do people in the service industr…

Update: 'We are taking a break.': Wife beats insecure husband on online IQ test, it ends their relationship

Talk about the fragility of some people's egos. If your entire ego is built around feeling superior to your partner in intelligence, and that superiority can be shattered by something as innocuous as a phony online IQ test—well, quite frankly, you deserve however that makes you feel—you totally set yourself up for that one. (Especially when you were the one insisting that your wife take it.) Online exams of any type are useless—unless they're to find out which Disney princess you are. Sure, the…
