Perhaps. Just—perhaps… investing everything you own into cartoon drawings of monkeys and whatnot is not the soundest financial decision one could make. Especially when said monkeys are stored on a virtual drive that has no recourse for recovery once you fall victim to a run-of-the-mill phishing scam. Sure, my assets may be vulnerable to the collapse of society, but at least up until that point, they're guaranteed by the financial institution that is using that cash for its own profits. Similarl…

“I mean SPECIFICALLY asked for cash gifts," wrote this bridezilla who was steaming mad at her wedding guests.

People really think they can get away with wretched behavior at their own weddings, don't they?

Cleaning for a 5 year old's birthday party is pushing this couple into a huge fight. This couple has a 5 year old daughter, and they each work between 60-80 hours per week in legal careers. If that already sounds exhausting, they're also adding on the stress of organizing a party for their kiddo. The OP writes that his wife really wants this party held at their home, but she isn't satisfied with the cleanliness of their home. U/Silas_Of_The_Lambs, the OP, added that his wife needs the place to…

This guy discovered that he accidentally invited his boss to his weekend getaway with his friends.

The unspoken rule that it's against company policy to have fun is not always so unspoken… One man completed 4 years of contract work to the US Army in Germany, and at the end of said contract, was homeless as he and his family waited for their household goods to arrive back in the States. The company authorized a rate for the hotel he would stay at in the following thirty days. He figured out budget-wise what he could and couldn't do, and took his family to visit EuroDisney in Paris, staying in…

Many people don't handle rejection well, but when it's part of the job and has been (at least partially) brought about by your own decisions—well… you'd best be professional about it. Unfortunately, many managers and business owners struggle with this. They're perfectly content with any arrangement as long as they're the ones who have the upper hand, but as soon as they lose that edge, the mask comes off, and their ego reveals their desire for control… over you. That's the most plausible reason…

“After 12 hard years of constant fundraising, our band finally bought new uniforms to replace our old ones from the 90s,” one student wrote, as they revealed how one goofy Kevin made a mess of it.

The correct response to an employee doing good work outside of their job title is ‘thank you’, but there was one supervisor who has apparently lived under a rock his whole life, instead getting mad at an employee who did exactly that. See, this employee was working at a construction company, his job title being related to inventory. He quickly became good at it and took it upon himself to study the company's cloud-based ERP service that they used for all internal and external transactions. He q…

It's important for all you perfectionists out there to remember that not everything always has to be exact. Sometimes it's ok, better even (for everyone involved) if you just leave things to a little bit of healthy approximation. Sometimes the best answer is the one that is delivered quickly. Although, engineers, surgeons, and scientists need not heed this advice—you guys just keep doing your thing. This is the logical purpose behind measuring rice by the cup, water by the gallon, and crickets…

This employee literally just wanted to find out if their grandmother was from Ireland...turns out their CEO is their half-brother instead.

Nothing like nature taking its natural course and weeding out the evil ones. This story below is a perfect example of humanity and nature coming together to annoy the evil ones aka Karens. Yes, even nature hates Karens. The story begins inside a simple city apartment. The Karen neighbor is on the top floor and the squirrel allies are below her. This particular Karen neighbor has many instances where she throws tantrums and treats everyone below her like… well, like they are beneath her, if you…

While hosting a dinner for friends, this woman accidentally confused everyone in attendance with her strange payment policy . The OP of this story, r/Pinkishrabbit, was so befuddled that they wrote to r/etiquette to figure out what was actually going on. As the OP tells it, they went for a dinner at a pal's house along with two other mutual friends. They had a nice time, until the next day, when the two friends began texting the OP that the host had asked them for money . Sure enough, the host…

I smell a breakup in the near future.

If you get dates with at pick-up line, you use a drop-off line when you break up! On the r/AskReddit sub, people were in stitches with these outrageous hypothetical breakup lines. Some people claim to have actually broken up with people in this goofy manner in middle school! Don't actually use these unless you want to have some major regrets. With lines like “Our relationship is like my financial status: Broke," at least they're plenty relatable. Decide for yourself which breakup line you love…

Are gyms the newest breeding ground for entitled behavior?
