It's absolutely mind-boggling that some companies are dumb enough to approve a new hire (from within the company) to replace an employee, without alerting said employee of their firing. How awkward. This is what happened in this very humiliating case for a young worker who was trying to prove herself. She heard via office gossip that the company had someone in mind for her position… while she still had the role. Apparently, they felt ‘Shelby’ would be a better fit. Things didn't exactly go acco…

It's often said that if you do a job and do it well, nobody is going to complain… but do a job well enough for long enough, and it's going to begin to be taken for granted. Soon enough, that second set of duties that you took on to band-aid resourcing shortages will become a part of your normal job description… You might be doing more work, but at least you have the appreciation of your manager—right? Their goodwill towards you could mean wonders for your career! That is… until they suddenly le…

This has got to be one of the most insane car chases to appear on the r/pettyrevenge subreddit.

I want to go home

These people love to play small innocent pranks just to confuse the people around them. A lighthearted prank can be a fun way to connect with friends or coworkers, so these Redditors shared their favorite ways to screw with people's heads . There are some excellent ideas here! Most of the pranks involve confusing the victim of the prank just a little – by moving around random objects, or handing them something and walking away. My favorite, though, is the person who said their aunt hides ping p…

Some signs capture the truth in ways you could never have anticipated.

If you mess around on the internet, you're going to find out what happens! These people all got hilariously roasted after trying to dunk on someone. It gives you such a feeling of schadenfreude to see people try to say something incorrect, and then get dunked on for it. Although there aren't too many brands doing the dunking this time around, they're occasionally the most vicious of posters (because the writer gets to hide behind the brand name)! In this instance, Game Stop roasted one person w…

Just because it's your wedding doesn't mean you can be the worst friend ever.

Shower thoughts are a real hit or miss. Either they're horrifically funny, or terribly scary. I'd like to think that the best ones are a bit of both. The most genius thoughts we have in life don't come to us when we're stressing at work… no, they come to us when we're singing U2 at the top of our lungs whilst pretending to play the guitar, warm water gushing over our heads like a waterfall. Someone in the next room may or may not be yelling at us, demanding that we shut up. In other words, good…

The students were told they had the “option” to come to the lab early but it became rapidly clear that this was an expectation (not an "option”), and that they had to skip lunch in order to achieve this.

If you won millions in the lotto, what's the first thing you would do? For many of us, our first instinct would be to call our immediate family and best friends to share the news! But this guy called his ex-wife right after his parents — and his actual current GF is steaming mad about it! Not only did this guy called his ex first , he offered her some of the money. While some people in the comments immediately began to question his motives, he makes it pretty clear: he had kids with his ex . He…

A senior employee wasn't about to sit around and be a pushover simply because of a small change in regime...

What should you do when a client passes you, an esteemed partner of your business, a set of Super Bowl tickets to give to their account manager as a warm thanks for their work? Hand them to the employee as instructed—right? No! What could you possibly stand to gain from that straightforward and ethical decision? Instead, regift them to another client in order to bolster that business relationship, who could care less what your sniveling subordinate thinks—they're never going to know anyways. Oh…

This guy has got to be one of the dumbest cheaters ever!

Everyone has a bold hot take on something topical!

This person who worked at a steak and seafood restaurant had to deal with the crankiest and most entitled of customers.
