Being forced to bake cookies for his coworkers was never part of this man's job description.

Everyone's been to a restaurant before where they had a terrible server. You saw them flirting with the hostess, loitering around the bar, and rolling their eyes when you asked them to split the bill. Not to mention, they've neglected your table for 20 minutes, while you were starving and ready to order. Restaurant goers are faced with a tough decision– to tip or not to tip?

It's not too often these days that victory comes to small communities. With extremely wealthy people coming into “niche” neighborhoods because they're “hip,” buy a house for cheap, flip it, and then sell it for thousands to millions over any other house's value in that neighborhood, it sure makes you feel like the underdogs really don't have a chance. The thing about these “niche” neighborhoods is that they have families who have lived there for generations. They're “hip” because it's people wh…

There are rules at the gym , but you wouldn't know it by the way these people tried to work out. Let me tell you a story. The year was 2011, and a brand new Planet Fitness opened up in my area. It was so cheap back then that even as high schoolers, my friends and I could pay monthly to go work out . Gym class? Nah, we couldn't be bothered. We felt like we were adults, and we wanted to work out like them. It didn't matter that we didn't know how to use any of the machines; we'll figure it out as…

We know all too well at this point that people put crazy things on their dating app profiles. Sometimes, they are bizarre confessions that should wait till at least a third or fourth date. Sometimes, they are strangely hostile and limiting remarks about what they're looking for on the app. And sometimes, they are such boring stock answers to questions that you wonder if this person is even real. Who knows? Maybe they are a bot. And bots, folks, are an immediate “swipe left.” In addition to bots…

“My boss was the kind of boss that every employee hates,” this employee wrote as they shared the tale of what happened when they tried to take family leave at a small company.

Where does it say in this employee's contract that they are obligated to give up their first class seat to their boss?

As every teacher knows, children can be messy. When kiddos are only half potty-trained and still learning how to be real people, preschool teachers are oftentimes the adult-figures who know exactly what kind of messes these tiny humans can make. In this case, OP knew all too well that preschoolers can make mistakes– sometimes just outside the bathroom.

The irony of withdrawing a candidate's job offer for a position on your company's contracting team—just because they wanted to negotiate their contract—is almost too much. One might expect that it would be taken as a good sign that the candidate is willing to have uncomfortable conversations and negotiate terms… since that's kind of exactly what they're going to be doing for your company.

Behold: one of the greatest examples of malicious compliance ever told. This Grandma's commitment to stubbornness is truly unmatched. Back in the 1950s, things were much different than they are now in almost every way. Back then, stereotypical gender roles were in full force, with women getting married, having lots of children, and running a household while raising the kiddies. Meanwhile, the man of the house would work a job. That's it. But that was considered the men's responsibility. Back th…

Sometimes the best revenge is therapy. Seriously, therapy gets down to the nitty gritty of why that horrible situation happened to you and why it feels so extra horrible. Once you figure that out, it's only up from there! Take this recent Reddit story, for example . This man was living his worst life. He was in a toxic relationship, he hated his job, and his apartment was falling apart. Things really hit the fan when he discovered his girlfriend was cheating on him. He tried to fight for the re…

It has often been said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend—and I'm not exactly sure how that's supposed to all workout. Sure, they might not like the person you also don't like, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you guys are going to be all buddy-buddy, either. With your prickly and challenging personalities, it's more likely that the three of you will all be enemies together and carry on feuding perpetually like those three brothers after they offed their ginormous-jerk parents. Speak…

Early morning routines are sacred, and when a coworker tries to intervene, tensions can rise.

Memes from the wild wild web.

Being sick as a little kid isn't so bad because you have Mom around to feed you soup, press her hand on your forehead, and tuck you in for a nap. If she says you're too sick to go out, you're too sick to go out. As an adult, you're forced to gauge your own illness, which, as mother always said, means you're going to be sick for weeks. In this case, OP tried to do the right thing by calling in sick to work, but his unyielding boss wouldn't allow it.

It is often said that if you have an unexpected windfall of cash, you should tell nary a soul and lawyer up immediately. You'd be surprised how quickly even the most distant relatives and vague acquaintances come out of the woodwork once they catch a whiff of cash, looking for a handout and saying something about how you owe them because of that one thing they did for you that one time. This advice gets passed around any time the topic of winning the lottery is brought up, and everyone likely h…
