Sometimes, being a rule follower can lead to finding clever loopholes.

Don't tell this housekeeper how to do their job . Their boss tried, and it didn't end well. When you do something for long enough, you start to develop shortcuts to make your life easier. Maybe you have a template you use to save time while writing emails if you're at an office job. Or for those in retail, maybe you're super fast at making drinks because you're used to measuring things by sight. You get into a rhythm and try to do your job as quickly and accurately as possible. Enter this emplo…

Karen may have had some audacity, but her competitor had a spare $5K to bring her business down.

This man's wife got sued and his reasons for resenting her are beyond valid.

It's often said that no one will appreciate the job you do until you're gone, and we've yet to see evidence otherwise. It's like being in the driver's seat of a race car; as long as you're driving that car, people will attribute the car's best performance to be owing to the car itself. It's not until you leave the team and another inferior driver takes your seat that people will realize how truly terrible the car is… and that your efforts were making the car appear better than it actually was.…

If you've ever worked at a place that institutes the silliest, least sensical rules you've ever heard of, this story is for you. The amount of food waste that many restaurants have is staggering. In recent years, TikTokers have helped shine a light on the issue, such as one person who went viral exposing a donut chain that throws away hundreds of donuts per day. Others have gone dumpster diving outside a different mega coffee chain to find out they throw away dozens and dozens of sandwiches, co…

Quitting your job often requires a one to two-week notice, which you normally give your boss with a grin on your face, knowing that soon enough, you'll be put out of your misery. Unless of course, you like your job, in which case, never mind. In this case, OP was working as a head bartender and got a new job as a senior bartender at another company. So, OP did what everyone else does when they decide they're going to quit: he informed his manager, giving in his one-week notice. His manager sat…

This worker came with receipts. Usually, these types of things are a “he said, she said” type of scenario, where both sides state their perspectives, and the truth lies somewhere in between.

When you're on vacation, the last thing you'd imagine happening back in your home is other people living in it, as you continue to pay rent according to your lease. OP went on vacation for a couple of months to spend some time with their family, and when they arrived back home, they immediately realized that someone else had been there… a lot of OP's things were missing, which struck OP as odd, as there was no sign of forced entry. After filing a claim with the police, OP asked around, searchin…

Awkward cringe-fest

Management often cut the branch they're sitting on, find themselves on the floor, and then have the audacity to complain about it. In this case, OP was working for a whopping 20 years as a lead carpenter for a construction company. They hired a new president and brought in a coaching company along with him. The coaching company in question was attempting to get profits up from 50 to 750 million a year. Thus began their detective work, starting with who earned how much at the company. OP was mak…

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…

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…

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…

There's nothing like a ruthless Karen at a gas station getting exactly what she deserves!

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.
