Country folk already know this, but there is a big difference between “yee-haw” country and “yee-yee” country. Yee-haw country are usually the more old school cowboy and cowgirls we know and love. They can ride horses, maintain crops, probably do some rodeoing, rope a calf, wear a cowboy hat that's been in their family for generations, befriend a wild coyote to help them find their way home—you know, that sort of thing. Yee-yee country are, well to put it colloquially, rednecks. They are here f…

There comes a time in your career when you have to stand up for yourself and stop taking on too much.

This Redditor's office drama has him wondering if he did the right thing.

Throughout your life, your superiors' insistence that you adhere to cumbersome processes and procedures will be a literal thorn in your side, causing you wasted hours and undue stress as you attempt to follow them. But—occasionally, things might just work out in your favor. When they do, it's usually owing to the fact that the superiors, who are insisting that these processes be followed, aren't nearly as good at following them themselves as they would like you to believe. In fact, they may rev…

Contentious doesn't even begin to describe how people act about parking lots and getting the perfect spot. For many drivers, it's imperative to get a good spot, even if it takes some time of circling the lot, searching for a spot where no one else is parked too close. This lucky person, u/bizzzfire, wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a question about a parking dispute. The OP writes that they were pretty sure they were doing the right thing by protecting their assigned spot, but after their interact…

There are a few rules you simply can't break when living with another person. Do your dishes, don't throw parties at 3AM, and you absolutely, 100% cannot eat their food out of the fridge. The refrigerator is sacred and, as a roommate, you aren't privy to every resource in the house just because you live there. It's not your mommy's house, you can't just eat whatever is in the kitchen.

Insisting on adherence to process when it does nothing but create an inconvenient obstacle is a tactic that the power-hungry love to wield like a fork at Sunday dinner—and I'm not saying they only use it once a week, but rather that they do so with ravenous vigor. It's silly, really, that someone should make such a big deal out of nothing—but trust anyone who is desperate to justify their existence in this world to do so. When this couple moved from their apartment complex, they received a foll…

I guess you could say this guy was locked red-handed!

Cringe-fest

It pays not to be a jerk—well, being a jerk can also pay because the annoying ethical limitations of kind and empathetic folk won't bother you, leaving you to do whatever, whenever, and wherever you want. Still, we'd like to think that all of that bad karma will come back to bite you eventually and that one day you'll receive your just deserts. That may be what happened to this apartment manager, who decided to be unbearably rude to someone who was applying for an apartment. Whatever it was, th…

Employees aren't making these bosses' workplace tasks easy — at least according to the bosses who told their wildest work stories . In many industries, the difference between a boss and an employee can be just a few dollars more per hour. In exchange for a measly little raise, one gets to be a manager at a retail or food place. You get a tiny raise and a title change, and then you have a ton more responsibilities to handle. But also, if you're a manager you do have some perks, like sneaking off…

There's nothing worse than messing up in front of a crush.

When the internet talks, ratios happen. And luckily for us, they're often really funny, and fun to root for the person doing the ratio'ing. Some of the funniest ratios I've ever witnessed were during the 2022 monkey NFT craze. (See #8 for one example!) As you may recall, “Bored Ape” NFTs were all the rage for crypto bros. The gist was that you bought the digital image of the apes, and then you owned the image, technically, sort of. Because while you may have had a paper stating that you owned t…

This HR lady's blatant lie says just about everything one could say regarding the health of this work environment.

Tsk, tsk, testing our patience again, are we? Welcome to this week's top mildly infuriating fails. We don't take the word ‘mildly’ lightly, as the fails below aren't the end of the world, but they are a pesky nuisance. Sometimes things don't go as planned, an annoying neighbor butts his nose up in your business, or Karen believes she gave birth to you. Whatever it may be, something is always the matter. Maybe we're entitled, or bored, or expect too much of the universe. Perhaps it is precisely…

While it's easy to agree with the sentiment that “You shouldn't be eating out if you can't afford to tip,” the last person you want to be hearing that message from is their boss who refused to pay them a living wage in the first place.
