Rules in the workplace can be hard to follow, but in some instances, it's best to resist the temptation to question protocol. Sure, in theory, we all want to have the autonomy to follow our own rules, but when it comes to making unauthorized purchases in large quantities on the company's dime, perhaps think twice and get your supervisor's approval before doing so. Here , we have an employee who tried to make it seem like the new hire was at fault for questioning these purchase requests in the f…

You shouldn't have to always be smiling at work, especially if you're having a bad day—why can't some customers get that through their heads?

Someone call the EPA!

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Meaning that you really shouldn't go around criticizing and finding fault with a gift or assistance that has been given to you for free... It's not every day that someone gives you something of considerable value without expectation of anything in return, so in these cases, it would be especially foolish to throw it back in their face and demand they give you more. But this isn't logical reasoning and critical thinking that the woefully entitled are prone t…

One person dumped someone for texting with too many emojis, while someone else ended things because their date wasn't using enough emojis! In the dating world, it's impossible to know what people's expectations will be---just ask the people who commented on this interesting r/AskReddit thread. One person asked for the “most petty reason you had for breaking up with someone,” and over a thousand people responded with their hilarious moments of heartbreak. Up next, these job candidates shared wha…

Sometimes, telling your roommate to stop doing something inconsiderate is not enough. You have to show them the consequences of their actions. This tenant's roommate had a habit of eating whatever he wanted in the communal refrigerator, especially when it wasn't his own food. He always had an excuse. He either didn't have enough time to do his own grocery shopping or he promised to pay the tenant back next tine. Well, after numerous instances, it became clear that this was an empty promise. The…

There are some absolutely wild shenanigans happening in these student dorms! Next, take a peek into what kind of mildly infuriating things these local thrift stores are up to, like one that decided “to use staples for clothing tags .”

It takes a whole lot of audacity to complain about not having something you're not properly paying for… This entitled customer recently downgraded his internet speed from 500 mpbs to 100 because he wanted a cheaper plan. Well, as a result, this had consequences on the quality of his Wi-Fi connection. Of course, when you're a Karen, you don't necessarily have the capacity to put two and two together and realize that this is what you get for downgrading to a cheaper plan. He wound up complaining…

Karens are going to Karen.

There's nothing better than being in your own home and experiencing what it feels like to be utterly and completely alone, with no one around to perceive you, judge you, or otherwise consider your existence and what you might happen to be doing. Hanging out enjoying a peaceful afternoon doing some home maintenance outside, and suddenly your ears are bombarded by an infernal whirring outside as if 10,000 angry bees have suddenly descended upon the peace you were enjoying, and looking up, you see…

Not everyone is going to bring home first prize in a spelling bee. Some folks are just awful at spelling. At least on our phones and computers, we have spellcheck to give us a notification that we're spelling words wrong. But in real life, you sometimes just have to wing it. These people spelled things by sounding them out, with some very funny results! I imagine a lot of the people who wrote these signs aren't English speakers. Instead, they're sounding out the words phonetically to try and ge…

Like a boss

"I remind him, that I agreed to a three cut minimum and no where in any of the conversations did the company specific a restriction on when."

Being a team player means supporting your coworkers when it's appropriate. It does not mean doing their job for them. Here, we have a fully remote Karen coworker who had the audacity to ask an employee, who had to work in-person every day, to print multiple PDFs and scan them as one document for her. Now, the purpose of this was to combine these PDF documents into one, a task the employee pointed out could be via Adobe. He even wrote out clear instructions for how to do this from home, but the…

There is a big difference between living with roommates and having a landlord and living with your landlord as a roommate. Nobody wants to do the latter, for starters. Having roommates is hard enough, imagine how unbearable it would be to have your landlord as a roommate, watching over your every move. If you are a landlord, and you are looking for roommates, I would definitely recommend telling them what they are walking into, because they deserve to know. That is what I would tell the girl in…

Working in the service industry really changes your brain chemistry.
