Just like Daenerys Targaryen “kind of” forgetting about the iron fleet… these bosses forgot that this guy was included in their group chat, using it as a means for discussing firing the worker in three weeks' time, once they were caught up with the delivery workload.

Every so often, you come across a landlord tale that actually turns out alright for the tenant in the end. This update was posted to Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit by u/Upbeat-Poem-1284 , who shared that after putting in several requests for almost a year and after several attempts at completing those repairs went wrong (see the original poster for details), the Redditor and their roommate decided to stop paying rent. According to OP, it is within the tenant's rights in their city to withhol…

"Would you be so kind…"

Nothing beats the satisfaction of watching a reckless driver get caught at the same red light as everybody else

Ooooh baby, if you're in need of a satisfying petty revenge story, then you have come to the right place! There is nothing like a little DIY karma to really get the blood pumping. The OP here took down a Facebook group troll and man, was it *chef's kiss*! The Facebook group that OP is talking about is not mentioned, but she says that there is a man in the group claiming to be a professional “religious educator,” however all he does in the group is spread hate. The woman, having actually gone to…

Serotonin for the Monday blues

For those of us who love some zest and spice, it’s always difficult eating at that relative or friend’s place who refuses to add even a grain of salt or dust of pepper to their meals. These people have clearly never used their tastebuds before, and it shows. Still, it’s worth acknowledging that this is a rather pretentious thing to think; you should always just be grateful that someone cares enough to cook you a meal at all. Cooking is an investment of time, and—unlike some ingredients—time doe…

We've all likely been on both ends of an “I Don't Work Here Lady” story. Look, everyone makes mistakes but not everyone has to make these assumptions. Some of these stories range from assumptions made as a result of a customer being a good samaritan, a customer's attire being strangely similar to that of a store's employees, and an entitled Karen's main character syndrome. Keep scrolling below for this fresh collection of “I Don't Work Here Lady” stories. For more, here are some top petty stori…

Working in food service changes your view of the profession forever. Most people only experience restaurants as a guest. You sit down, have a lovely meal brought to you by a waiter or waitress , and don't have to lift a finger as you dine. But once you tie on that apron and work as a server, you're on the other side of the experience. You have multiple tables of people who need you to take their order, deliver their food, and cater to their every whim. It's nonstop! And it basically turns into…

The concept of monitoring an employee's bathroom breaks is perhaps the biggest waste of management's time.

Fleeing a toxic workplace is like dealing with a bad breakup. It's tough to muster up the courage to break it off and even if you finally do, the Ghost of Cubicles Past may follow you into your next job, lurking around every corner, poisoning references, and tainting every good interview. Although, even if you're trying to run away from bad bosses in your closet, leaving your current job is harder than you think...

It's amazing how ego-fueled denial can make an employer wait until the last moments of your notice period before attempting to reassign your tasks and replace you. It's probably not surprising, though, given that this exact attitude and lack of care are probably what made you want to leave your job in the first place. Still, this happens time and time again—as evidenced by the sheer number of stories posted about it online. You might even have some stories and experiences of your own of dealing…

I'd be cringing so hard if I was the person behind this birthday mixup … but mistakes happen. Celebrating your birthday is a great time to gather your friends and family members to celebrate your big day. Another year old and wiser! There's no one way to throw a party — some people like to have small house parties, while others love to invite the whole neighborhood over for a BBQ. And then there are others who love to dine at their favorite restaurants to celebrate — and that's what happened in…

Karens with a thin grasp of the law are especially tiresome to employees working who deal with it, and this includes reporters. In this case, OP was working at a small newspaper as a reporter. OP received a (surprise, surprise) complaint from a local Karen who was absolutely livid that her name was mentioned in an article OP wrote. To put things in perspective, OP mentioned Karen's name in passing, so it wasn't like OP quoted her, defamed her, or did anything else that may elicit such an angry…

Sometimes, in the effort to save $1, you lose $10—like when you buy an older bicycle, but it turns out, with all the work needing to be done to it, you should have just bought a newer one instead. Life's like that sometimes, and if you're trying to dig up ways that employees are screwing you to save money, you'd better be darned sure you're not actually screwing them, or else that might cost you—big time. When the administration tried to tell this teacher that she was having her hours docked fo…

Here's a friendly reminder that the words "mandatory" and "requested" do not mean the same thing.
