Employees working in sales commissions will tell you that the environment is pretty intense, and with good reason; you often come across workers who will do anything to get ahead. Such as this employee, who noticed that a relatively new coworker of hers was about to close a massive sale, and swooped right in to grab the customer for herself. The coworker in question, OP, caught her red-handed, and immediately told her as nicely as he could, to back off. She assured him, as snakes often do, that…

Welcome to this week's edition of the hottest trending takes from online dating… It's a wild world out there, and entering the arena of online dating can be especially treacherous. This week, there is a whole slew of desperate individuals looking to find a match amidst the sheer chaos of unsuitable candidates. A personal favorite of mine this week is our “incredibly average” Joe in item #3. There's no point in trying for a long-term relationship if you can't be honest with your partner and your…

Although this person's username is u/bridezillaxoxo, she definitely wasn't a bridezilla at her wedding — but one of her friends certainly made a fool of herself. Across different countries and cultures, one thing remains the same for basically every wedding: the bride and groom are the center of attention. Despite any shenanigans that happen in the lead-up to the big day, on the actual wedding day, the couple should get to enjoy the festivities. Somehow, though, drama always seems to sneak into…

Ever tried spooking your significant other this way? We highly recommend it TBH because these responses are wildly entertaining, to say the least. You know, that kind of entertaining where there’s clearly some drama and/or problems within the relationship, but it’s nothing but fun for you to witness because you’re not in the relationship yourself and you don’t know either of the people in the relationship either. You’re just there for the ride. If you’re just looking to get a humorous and genui…

These secrets could never be told in real life, so people snuck to the internet to gain some anonymity for some utterly unhinged confessions . Don't hold in your guilt about that random thing you're stressing over. Instead, you can tell it to @fesshole, a Twitter account solely dedicated to intercepting people's secrets . They then post them up anonymously, letting folks get that weight off their chest without anyone ever connecting their confession back to them. We've collected a great batch f…

It’s quite possible that servers and retail workers have dealt with more unhinged behavior than just about anyone else on the planet. Sure, you might say, “But what about therapists? Don’t they deal with a wide range of behavior from their clients?” Certainly, but in comparison with these brave souls? Nope! We’re pretty sure that even therapists and psychiatrists have nothing on folks in the retail and service industries. Just think about it for a moment: all the entitled Karens, all the annoyi…

Finance is probably one of the least “metal” things out there. In fact, finance workers are probably a direct antithesis of rock and roll singers.

Cringe-fest

You can always judge the strength of someone's character by their willingness to accept, acknowledge, and correct their own mistakes. Similarly, a manager blaming their worker for organizational failure above the worker's pay grade says much about their leadership. It's completely fair for a worker to expect that everything is taken care of when they have followed the instructed process. Reprimanding that worker—via poorly structured text messages—for the ensuing lack of communication between t…

This is one of those times that a little lie snowballed into a much bigger lie! To keep the peace in a romantic relationship , sometimes you need to fudge the truth. Not all the time, only for certain things, and it's best if you can avoid lying about anything big. However, once you're married for 13 years (!) like this guy was, even a small fib can quickly spiral out of control. After reading the OP's story below, check out a few comments, where people shared their own funny stories of lies th…

This may be one of the best malicious compliance stories we've read to date, and the reason for that is the novelty, hilarity, and downright relatability of the details. A tyrannical boss had taken her reign over a government department where she was less than kind to her employees, OP included. At the time, OP was a technical writer and had been slowly transferring an old employee handbook into a modern and actually useful doc (ex: one page with policies and links to useful websites, like Offi…

You know you must be particularly bad at your job when your Daddy is best buds with the CEO and you still can’t help but get fired. That’s what happened to this Redditor’s coworker, who was hired with next to no experience yet found a way to boss literally everyone around her and take credit for their work. One day, OP wrote up a report and handed it to her, only to watch her immediately head directly into the CEO’s office and give it to him, all while acting like it was her report. Well, you c…

Few acts are as unforgivably unhinged as ruining an entire pizza. Yet, this girlfriend saw nothing wrong with scalping a whole pie, leaving nothing but the naked sauce and dough for everyone else to consume miserably. The topic of pizza toppings is hotly debated, with staunch defenders of questionable toppings like pineapple going head to head with those who deride the topping and all who enjoy it. We can all agree on one thing: Pizza is amazing. What isn't to love about saucy dough coated in c…

It's never been harder to lie to your employer, thanks to the power of modern tech. But this employee found that out way too late, because they clearly didn't think through the consequences of lying about a car accident . As some folks in the comments reflected, if you needed to be late to work or lie to your boss in the past, it wasn't that difficult. This person, though, didn't count on being fact-checked by a website that tells you where a photo can be found online. When the employee's photo…

Is there anything more humbling and potentially humiliating than a job interview?

Major props to these people who tried to make creative DIY projects and got some interesting results, to say the least.
