Is it a bit redundant to call her yallternative? Recently, with everyone's obsession with the 90's paired with everyone being clinically depressed, there has been a huge rise in people who consider themselves emo, goth, punk, or simply just ‘alternative’. Black eyeliner, dark hair, and a permanent scowl on your face have become more fashionable than ever and goth-ish girls everywhere are thriving.

There's a point where being overly petty, stupid, and cheap crosses a line over into straight-up malice. I'm a huge proponent of Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity — but sometimes the negligent stupidity is so wanton it becomes evil. Still, this idea of a stingy boss cheating their employee out of a hard-earned Christmas bonus is a theme so storied that it has been featured in one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time: Christmas…

You know what they say about when you assume...

In a hilariously embarrassing mistake, that they're going to be thinking about for the rest of their lives as they lie in bed trying to sleep, this worker accidentally made the brutal error of calling their boss “mom.” I think it's pretty safe to assume we've all been in a situation like this at some point in our lives; who hasn't called a teacher “mom” or “dad” in grade school? But the situation plays out a little bit differently when you're an adult working in an adult workplace, the adult co…

Coffee is love, coffee is life. For a beverage that is so acidic and low-key tasteless on its own, it's great with some cream or sugar. And it's clearly addicting, because many people drink it every single day. I, too, will continue to drink cold brew (humankind's best invention, don't @ me) every single day . Although there are many failed ways to drink coffee, a few of these are quite innovative , too, like the restaurant who gives out coffee ice cubes in lieu of iced coffee . But TBH, I woul…

Getting your pay docked because you didn't talk good?! Cue malicious compliance!

Don't worry, everyone. No pineapples were harmed for this post!

These diners got way more than they bargained for after going to certain fancy-pants restaurants! Clearly, restaurants see the trend of photographing your dinner , and want to make people's meals as photogenic as possible. They've really come up with some, um, interesting ways of displaying their meals. Would you still eat your meal if it came in a slipper, though? Could you “do it for the 'gram," as they say? These diners are brave for eating off these weirdo serving trays, from clipboards to…

The service industry offers its workers a myriad of shitty experiences: Terrible customers, terrible employers, terrible coworkers, and an (often) unpredictable income that relies upon strangers' ethics and understanding of their social obligations.

If you ain't reckoning ‘bout givin’ me a yee, then I ain't never goin reckon to give you a haw. But if you're rootin' and you're tootin' then we'll bee yee-ing and haw-ing all over the farm!

The crop is always plentiful when it comes to yee-hawin’ memes and we're always gonna make sure our fellow funny c…

Sometimes, you get so fixated on one little detail that you miss the bigger picture entirely. That tunnel vision can result in horrific errors in judgment in professional organizations that snowball and cost companies thousands, if not millions, of dollars. You, a new manager (or finance person), are looking to implement some unnecessary changes in order to fuel your insecure ego (under the guise of saving the company money) and think that taking away your project engineer's company vehicles wi…

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare to read one of the most incredible workplace stories ever written on Twitter . This person, who goes by @tombrodude, shared a tale for the ages of a “prank” he and his coworkers used to pull on each other. Basically, they waged war against microwave meals . But unless you're reheating, like, tuna casserole, why would you have such disdain for microwaved food? Then, click over here , where we've assembled a list of the most chronically online Twitter users of th…

'Your uniform doesn't comply with the dress code. IF pants have belt loops, a belt must be worn!'

It's ever a wonder how people like this manage to get into positions of power over other people. Unfortunately, it's often probably because the organization they're working for is run by toxic, cruel people who recognize the toxic and cruel (or spineless, subservient) traits in those they promote to management positions within their business.

We're inclined to say that everyone was awful here.

If you grew up in a household where your father figure was a manly man's man, you're probably aware that there is a lot of responsibility and honor tied to the duties of the flashlight holder. Even as an 8 year old , it's crystal clear that when you're holding the flashlight for your dad's tinkerings, your job is to be perfectly still, point it the right way, and say "mmmhmm" every few seconds like you actually know what a monkey wrench does. That's just one of those classic Dadisms that define…
