This, folks, is how to get back at your boss!

Birthday obsessives are the bane of everyone's existence and we all have that one friend who can't stand it when people don't worship them once a year. Some random childhood trauma created the birthday-obsessed adults that we see today and, even though it's just a regular day marked on the regular calendar, folks get a little crazy about the anniversary of their birth. Like Disney adults, birthday obsessives tend to be emotionally immature...

When the dish you order is specifically known and named for the style of spice that it uses, it would be foolish to request that dish without it. Sure, you might have meant that you just wanted it to be less spicy, but if you're going to be rude to service staff, you should be careful what you wish for and choose your words carefully. Or, how about we treat service staff with the respect that they deserve? This Karen unwisely demanded exactly this after being rude to staff during her trip to th…

Every workplace has that one room that you can sneak off to to be on your phone. No matter how small your workplace is, there's a hidden corner for you to lean instead of clean , or to scroll your phone instead of having to answer the phone . You can take a minute just for yourself to collect yourself, have some water and a snack, and pretend you don't have 6 hours left of work. It's the little things that make a difference. It's good to take care of yourself, because we all know that lots of p…

When building a career, one good rule of thumb to work by is to never burn any bridges. No matter how entitled or petty your upper management is, always take the high road. We know that easier said than done, but you just never know who you are going to cross paths with again on your way up the corporate ladder. However, sometimes an opportunity comes by that is just too sweet of a revenge that you cannot pass it up—especially if you're able to do it anonymously. In OP's case, that is exactly t…

Have you ever had that one coworker who will manipulate every situation and use every tool and any loophole at their disposal in order to make sure that things always go their way? If you haven't, good for you, and please let me know how you've managed to avoid them for so long. These coworkers—Gary, let's call them Gary… Now, Gary is no dull blade; the ability to gaslight and manipulate your way through a team of people takes knowledge, brains, and skill. But Gary is often lazy, looking to avo…

There's nothing like an office party to figure out who's really a team player and who isn't.

Ouch

On the list of people you want to annoy, your barber should be low on the list — your hair is in their hands. That didn't stop this entitled male Karen, who threw a fit at a barber shop for something that was his own fault. Having to put down a deposit in order to score a reservation somewhere is the best way to ensure I'm on time. These days, lots of places do this, from dentist's offices to salons to restaurants. It's extra annoying, sure, but who wants to lose money by being late somewhere?…

Talk about a prank gone wrong!

In recent years, TikTok has become the latest social media app to grow incredibly popular, especially with Gen Z . Unlike the way Instagram is full of carefully curated photos, TikTokers are inclined to make videos about what's on their mind — and they aren't afraid to do some oversharing . Check out these absolutely wild things people share to TikTok. Then, check out this story of an employee who got some malicious compliance on the boss who insisted he get a doctor's note .

If you're out there looking for a new job like so many of us, you better keep your eyes open for these major red flags! We all know what some of these red flags look like. For instance, when you're applying to jobs on Indeed or LinkedIn, you are very likely to come across a posting where the salary is “competitive,” the benefits are vague, and the years of required experience are ludicrous. There is no universe in which an entry-level position should require over five years of on-the-job experi…

This sister came with receipts when trying to expose the truth that her gentle-parenting sibling was concealing behind a social media pity party spun into a web of lies. Sure, we're all for being nice to people, and there's no argument that this should extend to your kids so you can avoid passing your generational trauma onto them as much as possible. However, if you want your kids to grow up into fine young adults, it's probably important that you don't also teach them to be woefully entitled…

Nextdoor is a place where Karens and Kevins can be truly free. Since it's essentially a zip-code mitigated version of Twitter, most users are only here for a handful of reasons: their pet is missing, informal noise complaints, unofficial vigilante work, and the occasional good ol' fashioned neighborly grift. If you're not scamming your neighbors on Nextdoor, can you even call yourself a real grifter?

Sometimes it's important to take a step back and take a look at why you're doing something—especially when it negatively impacts other people. If you can't come with anything other than “because I want to” or “because it's better for me personally” then maybe you should reconsider and not do that thing. For one, you should never have the audacity to think that you can think that you have the authority and skill to rewrite an entire policy by yourself overnight… Add the incompetency of this empl…

Laws and regulations: how do they work? After realizing you can't just ignore the law without consequences, this clueless Kevin is asking himself that question. Legal agreements are necessary in many aspects of business, even if they are annoying to deal with. But as a business owner, you have a ton of responsibilities both to your employees and to the upkeep of the establishment. You can ignore regulations and legal matters if you want, it's your prerogative, but don't be surprised when the co…
