One worker was accustomed to working 8 days on, then having 6 days off. That sounds like a pretty sweet gig if you can get it! By the 8th day of work, you must be very ready for a break, but you could plan all sorts of fun activities during those 6 days off in a row. This person, u/WyoPeeps, was actually trying to go “off grid” during one of their 6-day breaks. But their boss was continually interrupting them. When that happens, it makes you feel like you've sold your soul to the company. How c…

All bark no bite

Red-eye flights can be brutal, especially if you have a kid kicking the back of your seat and making your experience all the more difficult. When you're getting on a long flight and hoping for at least a good hour of sleep, the likelihood of a smooth, relaxing experience all comes down to your immediate surroundings. Are you stuck in the middle of two inconsiderate strangers? Are you next to a strange and overly talkative person? Is there a screaming child? Here, we have a passenger who was, at…

Bad neighbors will go to great lengths to make your life difficult.

We're constantly spammed with emails. Our work emails, our personal emails, and those inboxes we still have from the early 2000s with the embarrassing email address names that we can't seem to delete are all constantly filled with spam. When you buy something from a company nowadays, you have to be prepared to receive email promotions from them for the rest of your life, no matter how many times you try to unsubscribe. Even when you just do a quick search of a product, it's like you're sudden...

Micromanagers get what they ask for sometimes

Dating is not easy, even when you know exactly what you're looking for. There are a bajillion single souls out there, but most of them just aren't going to be the one for you. One of the biggest issues I've encountered while dating is that people love to profile you based on your astrological profile. This is not something I want, and yet a lot of people want to know this info to see if we're compatible. Sadly, that means we aren't, right off the bat. Other people just ask weird questions on th…

Confronting a neighbor can be tricky. After all, you still have to live near this person for the foreseeable future, so it's not like you want to be burning any bridges. That being said, if your neighbor is actively harming your living experience, confrontation might be inevitable and unnecessary. Now, if you can't confront someone directly, petty behavior is not necessarily ideal, but sometimes, it's the only option you have in your arsenal. That's what happened when this Redditor heard a tena…

Graphic design is not these people's passion. And that's okay! They're just regular people making regular signs, for reasons such as “don't park in front of this trash can.” Oh wait… we also have a few professional signs in here too. They're quite hard to read, yet they can be found in restaurants or in advertisements. I think sometimes the graphic designers will make a sign, and their client keeps picking at it. They want it to be prettier or more attention-grabbing. So the artist reworks it a…

This dude started neighborhood drama before the new family even moved in officially! These new residents were under contract to buy a house when their male Karen neighbor took the opportunity to build a large fence 10 feet over the property line, using this moment to claim that those 10 feet were always a part of their property to begin with. Now, the new residents are not naive and they knew exactly what this guy was doing. Now, not to defend the wrong guy in this scenario, but if one did want…

What would you do if you were so overworked at your workplace but your manager kept denying your request for a raise? We would imagine that most people would understand that they should not overwork themselves in that place of work, and start looking for a new job. While the employee in this Reddit story also started looking for a new job when they were denied a raise, they took it one step further and requested a demotion. That is how OP (original poster) went from being the supervisor of thei…

Apparently, this entitled neighbor has never heard of the teachings of Sir Isaac Newton…

At this person's job, they were expected to make at least 120 calls per day. They're used to making more phone calls in a single day than I've made in my whole life. Despite all that hard work, their boss doesn't seem to appreciate how difficult it is to generate revenue off of them. At this person's job, they were expected to contact people who had debts , and try to get that person to pay them off. As you might imagine, the people who will answer a debt collector's call are usually the people…

This reads heavily like someone chucked a prompt into an AI and just let it rip without any proofreading or comprehension of the output. Still, someone at least must have added something to the prompt along the line of “make this statement as authoritarian as possible" without understanding the direction of Everyone has encountered this customer service rep before who has handled one customer too many and is now on a warpath.

Don't push for a return-to-office mandate if you can't follow it yourself.

It seems that transparency has been replaced by shady behavior. these days. This has especially become true when it comes to job interviews. We're accustomed to this lack of transparency in job advertisements, not that it should be the norm. You know what we're talking about: those common vague phrases like “fast-paced work environment," “competitive salary,” and many more that are either immediate red flags or questions that must be addressed during the first interview. Here, we have a Reddito…
