We have all had to deal with having to deal with a roommate's significant other.

When you give notice to your job, it's usually done to let your workplace know that you intend not to show up anymore—like that's the whole point. You're not saying, “Oh, yeah, feel free to keep me on the roster when it's convenient for you.” You're saying, “I'm leaving now, and I intend never to return. Good riddance to the lot of you.” Like ending any relationship, there's a chance that either party may not cope so well with the sudden change. Still, when it's your ego-maniac boss having a de…

It's often said that you'll only be truly appreciated for your work long after you've left the job; this is owing to what little visibility upper management has into your work or what little understanding they have about what it is that you actually do. Unfortunately, rather than being missed or celebrated, it's more likely that you'll be blamed for things that had nothing to do with your role (or even happened after you left.) In most workplaces, your boss will be shaking their head and mutter…

These people shared their favorite “insults that don't sound like insults”

The job market is not easy these days, ask anybody looking for a job right now. It's no walk in the park. One guy had a comfortable job that paid him a pretty good salary of $78k—however, it wasn't work-from-home and he was getting bored. Then, out of nowhere, he got a job offer from a “fully remote” company that offered him full benefits and a $90k salary. Who would turn that upgrade down, right? He turned to Reddit asking if he should make the change, and every wholeheartedly agreed . So, he…

Some people want to have their cake and eat it too. But it's really not so much about the cake itself as it is the control over that cake; they want the cake to submit to their authority and stop questioning it all the darn time. The thing is, this cake-haver probably isn't qualified to tell the cake what to do, which is why they're so darn insecure in the first place… I don't really know where this is going or what this metaphor is supposed to mean, but people aren't cake—and you shouldn't try…

"You don't know what you've got till it's gone!"

Oh, Karen.

Cashiers aren't being fooled by these customers. But that won't stop them from trying to get their money back for random and nonsensical reasons. When you work in retail, especially at a clothing or electronics store, you quickly learn that you're going to answer the same few questions over and over again. You basically memorize the answers to questions about the store's return policy , since you have to tell this to customers over and over. Still, some customers truly think they know better th…

Welcome to the lobby of a hotel, where folks working the front desk have all had to deal with some ridiculous behavior. These stories were compiled from Reddit's r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk subreddit, and let's just say that some deal with entitlement, some deal with unfortunate smells, and some deal with shady guests. At the end of the day, though, the moral of all these stories is to respect the people checking you in. You don't know what kind of a day they've had! Keep scrolling below for a look…

No one knows how to push your buttons better than your own family members . It starts when you're children, but even once you're grown up, the same people who you love more than anything can still get on your last nerve. This wedding planner found himself quite frustrated with his sister as she planned her dream wedding. Like lots of creative jobs, his sister seems to be under the impression that his job is easy and inexpensive, when in reality it's just the opposite. This guy helped her choose…

Must have been a really rough week!

Everyone knows a good ol' fashioned scam when they see one. "Take the money and run", is a scumbag's catch phrase, right? Usually scams involve some grifter making a quick buck on empty promises, weaponizing human emotions and taking advantage of every weakness before dipping out– just like your crummy manager at work!

If we're taking bets for the worst thing a boss has ever done, my money is on this; using someone else's tragedy for your own gain is a specific type of evil with no moral restitution. Somewhere in a locked room, this boss has a portrait of himself with a curled, deformed hand and demonic visage. This heartbreaking workplace story was shared on Reddit't r/antiwork subreddit, with the original poster sharing how her former boss had scammed her coworkers into giving him money, which was supposed…

This is a strange one — why would this woman try to steal food from another customer while in a grocery store?

When management fails to step up and do what is required of them to create a change in an employee's behavior, you bet it won't go unnoticed, even if by the employee themselves. In this case, an employee we'll call Ivan was the type of hopeless that not even a boot camp could fix, and the only employee more hopeless than him was his own boss, who we'll call Karen. Ivan was called into a disciplinary hearing by HR along with OP, Karen, and a few other employees after having 50 complaints filed a…
