There's nothing like building up a small business with your boss only to have them sell it… leaving your job in the hands of a greedy egomaniac who cares about nothing except making good on their investment. This new owner will often think that they know how to run your business better than you and manage your clients better than you—all while downplaying your experience and contributions to “put you in your place.” This often results in an incredibly predictable outcome; without knowing the nu…

When your Karen coworker has it out for you, you have to watch your back.

The dog was treated and totally fine, but it was a terrifying experience—in conclusion, be careful letting your dog off-leash at parks!

This guy was stunned to find out that his girlfriend had not only stolen his beloved car , but she took it to be scrapped. U/Jimothyisyouruncle shared this story to r/AmItheA**hole, and it's a truly wild tale. The OP let his GF live with him during for a few months, but she's hated his car since day one. The 1967 Impala really grinds her gears, all because it's parked in the spot she wants to put her own car in. The OP told her, “Tough luck," since there were other places to park it. But then,…

The trials and tribulations of being a server are on full display here!

What this boss says goes, so this employee just did exactly as his manager asked him. Some bosses just always have to be right, no matter what their employees say. U/oldman712 shared this excellent tale of malicious compliance , and commenters then shared their own tales below. As the OP wrote, he was a software prototype designer who usually worked with individual clients. He'd save their projects on various terabytes, which the actually bought with his own money! While the OP cared about his…

We love watching family drama unravel when it's not our own family.

I'm not crying, you're crying

A woman purchased herself an extra seat on her flight for her own comfort and security. She explains in her story that she is a fairly large gal and prefers using this method when she travels so that she can have a comfortable distance from other people. Unfortunately, not everyone is so careful and considerate, and it wasn't long before an entitled couple showed up and decided to help themselves to the extra seat. The girlfriend was seated next to Large Gal's second seat, and the boyfriend dec…

The commute to work is supposed to be a sacred space of personal time, but this woman's cheerful coworker is ruining it for her. As u/PersonalYesterday865 wrote to the British Problems subreddit, she's struggling with her people-pleasing ways. She's not quite sure what to do about her friendly coworker who just started working at the same job as her. The OP has learned that they take the exact same commute, and as an introvert, she's freaking out about losing her much-needed alone time. Luckily…

Sometimes the amount of audacity upper management has is unbelievably astronomical. Like, how is that even possible? Welcome to the world of *~capitalism~*. It's not like the old days anymore, however, where people took the abuse of their managers and bosses because they needed to put food on the table for their family of 10. No. Now we are choosing uncertainty and peace over abuse and security. For instance, one woman on Reddit recently posted asking if she should put any extra effort into her…

What do you do when your twin brother steals the name you planned to give to your future daughter? Especially when you promised your dying friend to honor her by doing so. Reddit unexpectedly sided with the twin brother and his GF's decision to name their child “Amelia" which this Redditor, u/AITAbabynames, planned to give their future daughter. The name had been that of a childhood friend of u/AITAbabynames who had passed away from cancer at the age of 12. u/AITAbabynames swore they would name…

If you have any experience working in the service industry then you already know it is a beacon for absolutely bonkers customers. You can't be a server, or bartender, or whatever without having several encounters with some of the most unbelievably rude people you have ever met. It's like, because you are serving them, you are now their jester. They don't understand that no, no it is absolutely not. In fact, all of us here at Failblog have our own horror stories from when we used to work in the…

Can I help you find anything? The exit perhaps?

While at work, we expect a certain level of professionalism from our coworkers, including our boss. Many managers tend to have a hidden agenda of sorts, and live in la-la land, blindly assuming they won't get figured out. What was this manager's real motivation for making her employees' lives more difficult? I'm not sure. But she insisted that specific training take place out of State. Now, this was back in 2020, when that wasn't really possible. Moreover, there were mandatory 2-week quarantine…

One person wondered if they were at fault for the full cost of a new MacBook after breaking their friend's computer.
