I guess in today's cultural climate, beggars can be choosers!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! It's common saying that this office place has clearly never heard of. After hiring a secret employee to find the weak parts of this business, the higher-ups made a huge mistake. The OP shared their story to r/pettyrevenge, but in my opinion, this is definitely pro-level revenge . They had the opportunity of a lifetime to show their office place exactly how important they were. Even the strategy the OP had – take 2 weeks vacation ASAP, let the pieces fall where t…

It's so unfair when you go out into public and the public is there.

There are lots of things that would stink to hear as feedback from a first date . One guy experienced the shame first hand, naming it among the most embarrassing things to ever happen to him, especially because he really liked this woman . He claims she showed interest in him even when others didn't. But as the OP shared, he truly and spectacularly bombed this first date in numerous ways, and we're cringing hard for him. Read all about this poor guy's first date mistake that he will definitely…

As much as we want to side with the employee on this one, you have to be pretty bad at your job to get fired after 2 hours.

It has become an unfortunate standard practice for companies to lay off a handful (or two) of employees, show investors a speckless graph, and give themselves bonuses. CEOs, board directors, and management, in general, are becoming greedier as time goes on, and are also becoming less ashamed about it. The polite thing to do would be to hide such avarice, but the fact of the matter is, they just don't care. And how could they? They're not even seeing the people they fire face to face; they send…

Rules either exist for no good reason or were written in blood; there is no in-between. The ones that were dreamt up by a bored middle manager somewhere often are more of a means of maintaining control over the workforce than anything regarding safety or productivity, so at the end of the day, they're not the most necessary. Rinsing rice may not be the highest stake workplace activity, so when you're under the pump thanks to chronic understaffing, this is probably one procedure where it's ok to…

No bus trip would be complete without someone have a conversation extra loudly on their cell phone. Bonus points if it's on speaker, which is the way the woman in this story chose to chat with her grandson. Bus journeys can be really great — you can gaze out the window at the scenery, listen to music, or take a nap while you travel to your destination. That's if all goes well, and let's face it, usually there's at least a few passengers who can't get along . On the r/MaliciousCompliance subredd…

Looks like they got what they deserved!

Some influencers are under the impression that they have way more ‘influence’ over their audience than they actually do. Maybe it feels like they have a lot of sway over the opinions of others — after all, some vloggers or lifestyle influencers post stories and photos constantly, and get tons of comments praising them. But commenting on a person's photo is one thing. Buying a product they recommend is a whole other story. Being a small-time influencer just doesn't always have the ROI that busin…

You know what they say about loose lips!!

Teamwork makes the dream work, that's why when you have a coworker who is all for one and nothing else, things don't tend to work out. There is nothing worse than having to go to work just to be stuck working with somebody you don't like and is rude to you. What do you do with a rude coworker? If you dish back the same energy, it will just make the workplace even more exhausting to be in. So what? You just ignore it? Reddit would suggest another route. A more satisfying route. For instance, thi…

Sometimes your actions to prevent something can bring it into existence as if you're unknowingly fulfilling a prophecy of your own making. That's what happened to this boss, who attempted to keep their workers from taking sick days by demanding they get a doctor's note only to have the doctor recommend them to take more time off than they would have in the first place. This is a common experience we've all probably had ourselves or witnessed at some point in our working life. A lot of organizat…

This woman got an amazing opportunity, thanks to a helpful call center rep. That's certainly not a phrase you hear every day. Having to call any large business means you're going to be put on hold while the folks in a call center handle your issue. It's an odd experience — you get put on hold, sometimes you can't tell if you're talking to a robot or a human, and you often have to listen to the worst music ever made, punctuated by someone telling you “how important your call is to us.” Ugh. It c…

First love is a tough virus to shake. When teenagers ‘fall in love’ (or think they have), it's tough to separate the raging hormones from real, genuine connection. Although some people find their forever person in their local public school system, most people aren't so lucky and don't really realize that they've hitched their horse to a toxic wagon– until it's too late.

Starting a new job is stressful; you've traded the relative security of whatever job you've just left for the uncertainty of a new one. This entire process, from start to finish, is time-consuming and emotionally draining, leaving you hoping that you'll never have to go through it again… and then you get fired on your second day. This old bait and switch probably means that either someone realized they didn't have the budget for a new role that they thought they did, or layoffs are on their way…
