You should always be wary of the “walk back” as a manipulation tactic. Often used in sales and scams, the seller starts by offering something acceptable and slowly changes the terms of the deal to something that might have been unacceptable to start with but is now reluctantly accepted due to the sunk cost of invested time. Consecutive slight alterations to figures or terms should always raise red flags, and if something doesn't seem right you should always trust your gut instinct, just as this…

Have you ever gone above and beyond at your work and received no recognition for it? How about taking the initiative to fix a serious problem that's plaguing your workplace, only to turn around and be reprimanded by your boss? If yes, maybe it's time to seek out greener pastures, just as this worker did when their micromanaging new boss took issue with the fact that they were going above and beyond to fix a problem that had been plaguing the company. Some people just desire nothing but control…

Rarely do we come across stories that are embarrassing and wholesome at the same time. But thankfully, this story is proof that both kinds of content can coexist. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/tifu subreddit by u/SaltyDalty21 , an employee who works from home and is accustomed to taking professional video calls remotely. However, one day, her cat decided to be a trickster and crawled all over her work setup. In the process, her cat literally unmuted her on the call without her knowledge.…

Landlords can be pretty shady and as a renter, it's frustrating when their sketchiness goes unnoticed. Tenants almost always take losses when moving from apartment to apartment because landlords refuse to take responsibility for their properties. Well, one man finally stood up to his landlord who was stealing security deposits from everyone in the building, planning to plant traps to create as much damage as possible in his apartment before moving out. If he can't get his deposit back, he's goi…

The guy even ended up making a song and music video about the experience.

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

TikTok trends are usually only going viral because some audacious teenager got footage of themselves doing something stupid, obscene, or way out of line. As a parent, trying to teach your kids between right and wrong is difficult enough, but when all your teenager wants is to get likes on their videos and social media validation, the moral high-ground starts to look pretty lame.

Wow… We are so sorry, but if we have to endure these puns, so do you. Some people love a punniful world , while others cringe at the painful dad-jokesque comedy. Recently, a Redditor shared a story from when they were younger and working in retail. Posted on the subreddit r/PettyRevenge, the story is about a toxic coworker she had. She said that this coworker was lazy and always going MIA during important shifts. She would frame other employees to get in trouble for her wrongdoings and would fi…

Whoever said to find what you love and pursue that as your occupation, never lived with capitalism. That really takes what you love and turns it into a cash cow and then you're doing it with so much unfair pressure and anxiety that it turns into something you hate… So what does that leave you with in the job field? Do something you already hate for a job and hold onto the things you love and keep them safe from capitalism? We have no idea, we just know memes. Memes are life. Memes can help you…

Some folks are plagued by their childhood trauma for the rest of their lives, while others seek a different approach to the healing process: Revenge. One man on Reddit did what we all wish we had the strength to do and faced his childhood demons head on; in his case, that meant having a long, dragged out conversation with his narcissistic mother.

Thanks to smart phones, any moment can be videoed or photographed , and not everyone is okay with that. Smart phones have made our lives infinitely easier, I wouldn't deny that. However, the cost of everyone having a smart phone is that any and every thing is recordable now. From people's best moments to their worst, people aren't afraid to pull out their phones and start filming. Then, they often share it to social media, where they can share it with friends, rake in likes and comments, and po…

This is a great example of how petty revenge begets more petty revenge.

This dad acts like he's never been to a grocery store in his entire life. He threw a fit just because the self-checkout was too much for him to handle. Self-checkout has become a way of life in many parts of the world, replacing cashiers with scanning machines you can operate yourself. This works well for many shoppers, because it means you don't have to wait as long in lines, and plenty of people like the privacy of not having to talk to anyone while they shop. But not everyone feels that way…

This woman clearly really needs this vacation.
