Extreme couponing is an interesting hobby that serves as a great past-time for house spouses who need a break from the tiring work of pitching the latest MLM fad to old acquaintances. It also makes for some pretty mediocre television that makes for a passable watch when you're drifting in a fever dream and too sick to change the channel. It does not, however, make for a good means of operating a business. And, yet, many managers and business owners out there employ it as a strategy, paying no h…

The only thing worse than a long commute is a long commute to a job you really dislike. Even if you bring a book, music, or a movie, commuting is still annoying to do every day. I used to commute 90 minutes each way twice a day, and it was soul-deadening. Even with entertainment, it's hard to sacrifice so much of your day every day without being paid. If you made me president, I would make every single company reimburse its' workers for their commuting time. If you have to take time out of your…

Man worries about getting evicted, even though he gave notice to his landlord.

There's always that one kid who is extremely picky about eating their vegetables, refusing to touch anything green in color, or that has the remotest possibility of being somewhat healthy. This was not helped in our childhood by the sheer amount of media depicting kids refusing to touch vegetables like it was cool. Still, you would expect that at some point during all those years between eight and thirty, there would be some maturing and growth and that, even if vegetables still aren't your fav…

We know all too well at this point that your boss is not your friend.

Divorce is nasty business. They say that all is fair in love and war, but divorce is a combination of both, so does that double the amount foul play each side is entitled to? Absolutely. In this case, OP was in the midst of a dreadful divorce– as if dealing with his ex wife and her new lover wasn't enough, he found himself in a property predicament after she moved out.

We've been told to follow our dreams our entire life, but then when it comes to making that scary and drastic decision, everyone becomes a naysayer. Which is understandable, you don't want to encourage your friend to do something that is too risky and might end up destroying their career. However, the risk is worth it if that means you get to live out your dream. That little part seems to get forgotten when giving advice to a friend who is about to throw a curveball into their life. A woman on…

That sucks.

Work can only push you so far until eventually your patience snaps. This employee, u/HungryAd2461, knows that all too well, as they shared in this wild tale about how they stopped managing an office . Being employed by a thankless boss is a tough way to live. Some people don't mind it, but a lot of us would like to have our contributions appreciated. You can be the first one in the office and the last to leave, but if your boss doesn't care, nothing you do will ever change their mind. It's you…

For some folks, gift-giving is very much not their love language.

It would take a lot for you to block your boss's phone number , but this woman had to do exactly that. Her boss just wouldn't leave her be as he tried his hardest to interrupt her vacation time . U/Pinkyrye shared her story to r/AmItheA**hole, and she provided several updates on her situation as well. Despite working at her security guard job for six years, her boss still gave her a hard time about taking five days of vacation time. Some places really are stingy with time off, paid or unpaid. I…

Here's a great reminder to be careful what you say out loud at work.

Road rage is usually a bad thing. When you're behind the wheel and you start to see red, it's probably time to take a break from traffic and give your blood pressure a rest. Not in this case. In this situation, one man's road rage actually became a potential life saver after he witnessed a reckless driver nearly pancake an innocent family.

Typically, when you're in the right of something, you expect might expect an apology from the person who has wronged you. You probably wouldn't expect yourself to be the one apologizing… if that were the case, wouldn't that make you the one in the wrong? There will be times in our lives when it seems like the entire world is against us, where we're absolutely certain we've done everything right and nothing wrong, and—yet, everyone else seems to think otherwise. This can lead us to wonder, are w…

First impressions mean nothing to this dude. In a post from r/TIFU, a woman shared what happened when she tried to take her husband to a dinner with her boss, resulting in one of the cringiest outcomes imaginable. “I had just gotten a brand new job that I was really excited about,” writes the OP. She was trying to get on her boss's good side by getting to know her better. It's not always easy to get to know your boss in a business setting when they need to be serious and focused. Instead, shari…

The service industry is riddled with careless, entitled, and rude customers who think you, as a server, should worship the ground they trample on. At the rate employees come and go in this industry, it's easy to decipher why nobody really likes to work as wait staff. In this case, OP was working at a pizzeria, waiting on an entire floor of tables alone, as there were no other servers on duty that shift. Running to and fro, most of the customers could recognize a damsel in distress when they saw…
