Be careful what you wish for! If what you desire is urgent medical assistance (for a non-urgent injury) from someone who isn't qualified or even capable of providing that assistance. The real truth of the matter is that this family felt entitled to receive attention from this customer service representative simply because they were a customer service representative — and that's what they're there for, right? To justify your need to feel important. I don't know if I can really stand by this coll…

Dive off the deep end into some shrimply incredible fish memes. Most of the ocean has still never been discovered, even by the mid 2020's! Somehow, humans have visited outer space and explored vast amounts of dry land on Earth, but the ocean is still the Wild West of undiscovered fishies. Roughly 80% of our oceans have never been seen by human eyes. Who knows what's actually down there? Only about 5% of the ocean has been properly documented by scientists , so your guess is as good as anyone's.…

Were you one of those people who were warned beforehand about the struggles of being responsible for another human being? Or did you glide into the abyss, blissfully ignorant? Either way, they don't just sit there and look cute, as I'm sure you're well aware of now. They are little gluesticks, literally and figuratively. First, because they waddle around you constantly, just always… there . Secondly, they use actual glue and smear it on your couch, in the name of art. They sure are little monst…

I wish I could say that this story ends with the partner being kicked out of their own firm and having to pay back the $10,000 worth of tickets they stole from their poor worker — alas, that's not always the way the world works. I love a good over-the-top revenge story as much as the rest of you — the kind of story that feels like it would be right at home in the pages of a classic Detective Comics comic book; complete with exclamations “Bang!.. Pow!" as the boss is getting their behind handed…

It seems like Jackie fully got herself in this mess.

This tattoo and piercing studio isn't going to put up with Karen's nonsense.

When you first start dating someone, you can never imagine how your lives will look together a decade later. But by the time that rolls around, you know all of each others' habits, quirks, likes, and dislikes. When you're in love, flaws don't seem to matter. That's probably why married people write so many funny tweets about their married life — you suddenly start noticing all the little habits that you hadn't picked up on previously! Adding kids or pets to the mix certainly changes up the dyna…

When your adoption plays out like a Team Rocket attempt to capture Ash's Pikachu — you might need to go home and rethink your life. Now, I'm not knocking those who would seek to adopt children; largely, these people are doing one of the greatest goods you could imagine — however, privately approaching, no — stalking — a desperate young woman on Facebook and convincing her that her only option is to give her unborn baby to you is nefarious , in a mustache-twirling, cat-stroking, monocle-adjustin…

It may be Monday, but we're already gearing up for the weekend!

Where is this person's friend group on their list of priorities? Pretty low, unfortunately for this OP's wedding-bound BFF. As the OP shared in this post to r/AITA, they asked if they were really the bad guy just because they had some other priorities for their money. Seems straightforward at first…until the OP explained their friend group background and their current work situation . I think in this situation, the OP needs to have a slice of humble pie and like, touch some grass or something.…

These parents are living proof that having a PhD and a Master's does not necessarily make you smart!

It's really hard to plan when you're going to be sick; as such, seldom does the use of sick leave eventuate from any sort of planned absence. It's not as if you can sit down and make up a roster of when everyone is going to be ill.

Some people feel like everyone is out to screw them over, probably because they're out to screw everyone else over and assume everyone thinks the way that they do. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character." We project far more of ourselves than we realize when we give our opinion to others. If you think you Sometimes we

Call center employees have to deal with one bazillion Karens, but this one in particular left the call operator with a huge grin. In the r/talesfromcallcenters subreddit, one brave phone operator shared this tale of stunning ignorance . Maybe if Karen reads this story now, she'll finally understand how badly she botched the math in this equation. As the OP tells it, this Karen went on vacation and ran up a lot of money in roaming fees. Say you're on a tropical island and you check Facebook – no…

A small spark of discourse can grow into a wildfire when both sides are fanning the flames; ego, pride, and prejudice can drive us to go great lengths and take us down surprising paths, all over something that totally wasn't worth worrying about in the first place. It's no small wonder that something as simple as a dispute over an alarm clock can drive two family members to a point where they're clawing at each other and marching down toward mutually assured destruction. The original poster of…

Sometimes, you know what's best, but your entitled boss simply doesn't.
