'If I have to go up to order, I'm not tipping': Working woman shares a hot take on tipping culture, raising torches and pitchforks in the comment section

We've all been there, standing at the front of the line at the coffee shop and the blue-haired barista with an eyebrow piercing lethargically whips the iPad around towards you before saying, 'It's just going to ask a few questions'. We don't want to tip 35% but with the next customer in line breathing down our neck and the angry cashier in front of us, the peer pressure can be insurmountable.

‘Dude, I’m already here, are you kidding me': Customer wastes 3 hours of time and gas after arriving at car seller's home only to be told van is already sold

One seller wasted 3 hours of his customer's time and gas money… Why? Who knows, people are awful, especially those selling on Marketplace. The customer, who we'll call OP, took to Reddit to complain about his terrible experience. Basically, OP had seen a small van for a reasonable price online, and wanted to buy it in order to convert it. They reached out to the seller, telling them they were interested in buying the van and would like to come see it. All seemed to be going well, as the seller…

'My coworker has an obsession with my job position': Retail worker refuses to leave baby department, repeatedly asks coworker, "When are you leaving?"

One person's odd fixation is making this retail worker uncomfortable. Retail work can be stressful, but it should never be because of your coworkers. The customers are known to be irritating, and some bosses have quotas that they pressure employees to hit. But your coworkers shouldn't ever be the most stressful part of a retail job, or any job for that matter. If they are, it's time to head to the human resources department, and let them handle the fallout. This person, u/asimplenobody27, has b…

Sleep-deprived nurse ruins neighboring college's 50-year-old tradition: '[They were] playing the same song on repeat between 8:00am and 6:00pm for 10 days'

Kudos to this lady for not caring if she became the enemy of everyone at the neighboring college across the street. It's that level of commitment to not caring about what other people think that we all aspire to channel one day. She shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, where she explained what happened after a particularly awful week in which the college played the same song loudly on repeat from eight in the morning to six at night for ten days straight. Evide…

'Oopsie, hung up on ya': Guy gets back at relentless debt collectors, infuriates them until they stop calling

Sometimes, the only way to get back at people who won't stop reaching out to you is by giving them a taste of their own medicine. Today, we're not talking about annoying relatives, friends, or coworkers. We are talking about receiving an endless number of calls from debt collectors who are clearly looking for someone else. In this instance, we have a Redditor who recently purchased a new phone and who has been getting nonstop calls 24/7. It's not the kind of thing you can easily ignore after a…

'Cheese from the dollar store': 30+ Purchases people will never make again

These people had buying experiences that were so bad, they had to share it with the world. And thank goodness they did, because now we know a bunch of items that just aren't worth wasting money on. Buying a new thing only to have it not work is infuriating. Lately I've stopped buying things from the billion-dollar company named after a rainforest, because the stuff I get from there just does not work. You really do get what you pay for, sadly. I bought a few headphone accessories from one selle…

workplace discussion employment issues antiwork workplace-stories jobs fired employment-discussion job work i quit quit supervisor workplace Horrible Bosses quitting employment in the workplace - 24823045

Worker laments the firing of their 'crucial' supervisor who was leading their already understaffed team: 'I might just quit soon'

Trying to keep up with an increasing workload on an understaffed team is a lot like trying to drive a car that only has three wheels. It's difficult to keep things moving forward without veering off course; things operate extremely inefficiently, and there's probably a lot of noise and scraping going on. Of course, managing these situations is no easy task—not impossible for a talented manager, but only through a great deal of effort. For this reason, managers who manage to protect their alread…

'They dinged my car': Guy gets even with bad driver, makes it impossible for him to pull out of his parking spot

It's remarkable how immature people get when they're called out on their nonsense! We tend to associate this kind of “it wasn't me!” behavior with children when their parents catch them breaking the rules. However, we should be honest with ourselves at this point and admit that adults do this literally all the time. Here, we have an insensitive dude who aggressively got out of his car and dinged the neighboring driver's car in the parking lot. The other driver saw it happen and looked at them i…

‘She should have seen it coming’: Employee gets back at micromanager by canceling all of her mailing subscriptions

It is bad enough that most people have to deal with their own unwanted mailing list they somehow subscribed to, but to get someone else's emails? That is beyond annoying. And having to deal with that in the workplace? Even worse. In this Reddit story, an employee was venting about an incredibly self-centered manager who was simply mean to everyone in the office. She would be unhelpful and rude towards other employees, and no one really knew why. But the one thing that made OP (original poster)…
