In every office, there is that one coworker who mooches.

"Yee" and dare we say, "haw."

Different people do things in different ways. For example, when I play video games, the wonder of possibility consumes me, driving me to obsessively check every last corner for hidden loot and easter eggs, turning over (literally) every stone until I 100% the game or reach a point of sheer exhaustion where my brain can no longer function and the desire loses its spark—leaving the game unfinished and untouched ever again. This, generally, reflects my approach to life at large. You, on the other…

You may think you've seen some odd food combos, but these ones really take the cake. Listen up, content creators. You're all banned from having pickles . Every last one of you content creators out there, you have abused your pickle privileges by creating man-made horrors. What have I said about making man-made horrors beyond our comprehension? Straight to jail, all of you. When you've been on the internet for a while, you can often spot when people make foods with the intention of enraging thei…

Just because you look young, doesn't mean you're unqualified. Although society is still torn on whether we want to look 'young and hot' or ‘seasoned and successful’, one Karen made it crystal clear to her dental hygienist that she thought that her youthful looks deemed her an unfit health provider.

There's a reason why everyone tells you to always read the label first. For one, as your mother probably told you growing up, you don't want to purchase, eat, wear, or try anything that might cause any damage whatsoever. However, in addition to that far more important reason, there's also the fact that if you don't read your signs and labels, you might be missing out on some quality content. I mean, there really is nothing quite like reading a sign and doing an immediate "Did I read that right?…

Your neighbors can look out for you, but only if you actually get to know them. If you're the neighborhood's cranky dude who just wants to keep to himself, that's fine, but you can't expect your neighbors to have your back if you don't have theirs. Some places, neighbors grow so close that they're almost family. It's a great feeling to be surrounded by friends, and they can watch your pets and water your plants while you're on vacation. You might even start a cycle of borrowing a cup of sugar a…

Quitting impulsively may not be ideal, but sometimes less than ideal is more than necessary.

Any sort of job that involves customer service is going to attract Karens. It's just inevitable. Why? Who knows? Maybe it's because entitled people think that “customer service” means that the employee needs to wait on them hand and foot and if they do anything wrong they can smite them? We don't know for sure… But we all know that these types of entitled customers have earned the named Karen. Going to pick up your prescription can be a quick and painless process, or, if there was a mixup with…

It turns out they had a choice after all…. The bounds of any authority are limited, but that doesn't stop those wielding it from consistently overestimating where those limits are. And, when you're the assistant manager of a pizza place, the bounds of your authority are probably much less than you think… Your power in that position isn't unchecked—it's not like you're the United States Secretary of Defense or anything. Still, as always, where there exists a single shred of power, there is someo…

Office camaraderie is never stronger when you're pitted against an annoying coworker or boss . It really brings people together to know that you're both subject to the whims of a jerk who you can't do anything about. There are certainly better ways to build team camaraderie , but you work with what you have. This malicious compliance story comes from u/flavius_lacivious, who worked at a manufacturing plant in the shipping and receiving department . Unfortunately for them, they were surrounded b…

Often when hearing of a good job opportunity, people are on their best behavior, hoping that they'll pass the interview. After they get the job, the pretty picture that the company carefully curated begins to crumble, leaving a gaping black hole behind the velvet curtains that turn out to be a prop. In this case, OP was convinced by a friend to drive 9 hours for a new job that sounded at first like a ‘good gig’. It took OP exactly 3.5 days to realize that something was very off about their boss…

Working in any kind of customer service, you're constantly exposed to the worst sorts of people. When you're still fresh and green into a customer service job, you approach it with a certain sense of optimism, telling yourself and anyone who asks how excited you are to help people and make a difference in their life with your incredible service. With bright eyes, you look around you, wondering why your seasoned coworkers are so haggard and embittered, approaching the day with a thousand-yard st…

Does anyone else totally wish they had this guy as their boss?

Awkward...

There's a certain joy in something completely non-serious. With all that's happening constantly in our lives and in the world at large, everything often feels as if it is so dreadfully serious—there's no escaping the weight of how immensely serious everything is. But, in a certain way, it becomes about perspective and the things that we choose to focus our minds on. Shifting our thoughts towards a lighter place can often lighten the load weighing us down and bring us relief that we thought to b…
