Some skills are considered classy if you're rich but trashy when you're poor. But why is that? When you speak a second language in an upper class household, you're highly praised at every cocktail party every time you share a pretty embarrassing, accented sentence of broken French. But if you're from a lower income family and you're completely fluent in a second language (maybe English isn't even your first language) then it's considerably less impressive.

Many business owners underestimate their worker's contribution to the company's success, instead thinking of themselves as deserving all the credit. After all, it's their company, so they clearly have all the answers—right?.. Wrong. You're not always going to be able to come up with all the right answers yourself, even if it's your business. A leader's strength may simply be that they're skilled at building a strong team and recognizing when an individual has a particular strength or skill that…

The internet has no shortage of strange and mysterious imagery . Some photos make you wonder not just if something is real or Photoshopped, but why it would exist at all! The image of the onion claw machine has really stuck in my mind, haunting me with thoughts of a shopping experience that probably doesn't exist yet, but could in some universe, someday. Only onions in a claw machine? Why stop there? Why not make a shop with claw machines full of as many non-perishable foods as possible? Gamify…

HOAs are loved or hated—there is no in between. That's because, you either live somewhere with an HOA who doesn't fine you for stupid things like your grass is a tad overgrown or your curtains are the wrong color and they use your HOA dues for things like a neighborhood block party and up-keeping the shared areas. However, many HOA boards, instead, get all entitled Karen boomer on their neighborhood and will literally fine you for something petty like talking too loudly in your own home. Recent…

Talk about a scorched earth policy. There's no greater satisfaction than sharing the spoils of a garden or fruit-bearing tree… but reaching your hands through someone else's fence in the dead of night (or when you've carefully watched to make sure they're not home) is just downright dirty—and not in an “I've just been gardening” sort of way. Given this guy has no penchant for gardening, this may not be the case here.

We all know that employers can be ruthless during the hiring process, but this hiring manager made it clear just how ruthless they can be.

Farmers who have had barn cats all their lives say the cats are expert hunters and snakes don't stand a chance, but cat lovers say that it's irresponsible to let your pet feline near a venomous snake. (P.S. The cat in the video is perfectly fine.)

Did she handle this right or nah?

Life is already hard being an introvert. Humans are pack animals, but when you're an introvert you just want to be left alone. You have your few core people that respect your boundaries and those are the only people you want to hang out with. Why do you have to go and be socials with a bunch of strangers all the time? Or for that matter, why do you even have to go and hang with your coworkers? Shouldn't there be a divide between work and play anyways? This is the argument one introvert employee…

Although this boss thought he was being sly, he actually ended up making a long-time employee “quiet quit” their job.

This is what you get for being nosy!

This intern might have ruined their relationship with their boss, with one person scolding them, “This was very immature on your part.”

There's this crazy thing that happens after the employee who basically does your job for you leaves: you are going to have to do your own job.

Some people are virtuous, generous, adhere to a certain standard of morals. On the other side of the spectrum, you have the stingy, selfish leeches that seize any opportunity they can to take advantage of the first party of people mentioned. An employee was collecting money for their well-liked boss, who was feeling unwell for some time when a woman named 'Linda' decided not to pitch in. Instead of saying she wasn't going to pitch in, she just pretended that she was. OP didn't push it, and Lind…

Sometimes an inappropriate action deserves the appropriate response; it's the simple laws of cause and effect acting out their parts. This is how it was when worker u/elena247 's coworker decided to execute the clever ploy of bringing their dirty dishes to work to have others wash them. When u/elena247 discovered what their coworker was up to, they decided the appropriate response was to introduce the dirty dishes to the trash can. Sounds like a reasonable course of action to us. It's hard to i…

This boss thought that all management involved was kicking back, relaxing, and letting everyone around him do 100% of the work. His employees pushed back, and made him regret his laziness with their own form of petty revenge. This guy seems like he was living out every salesperson's ideal career. He claimed that after working hard for years, he finally became the “ top salesman ” at a phone store. And now that he'd moved up to management, he planned on doing next to nothing. This seems like a d…
