'It was never blocked again': Police officer blocks barista's driveway, decaffeinated Captain gives him a verbal reaming

Don't even talk to this police Captain before he's had his coffee! If there's one thing you don't want to do in any line of work, it's depriving your boss of their caffeine while simultaneously wasting their time. That's a recipe for disaster, and you do not want to know how that meal tastes. Unfortunately for this police officer, that's exactly what they did when they blocked off a barista's driveway, which prevented her from getting to work on time. This meant that one of her regulars, the po…

'You're not making me steam milk? Thank you for an easy life, king/queen': 35+ Highly specific memes from cafe baristas

Society would crumble without the hardworking baristas who get up very early every morning to clock in and make us our lattes and americanos.

‘Revenge Cost Approximately $3.50’ : Lady Gets Sneaky Payback on Entitled Neighbor Who Removes Her Laundry From Shared Washing Machine in Order to Use It Herself

‘Revenge Cost Approximately $3.50’ : Lady Gets Sneaky Payback on Entitled Neighbor Who Removes Her Laundry From Shared Washing Machine in Order to Use It Herself

Sharing a washing machine and a dryer with your neighbor is less than ideal. Kind of like having a roommate that you have to consider each time you do… well, anything in your own home. If they are using the washing machine, you just gotta patiently wait your turn. Not everyone was raised with these basic manners, and that is where you can find yourself in some deep, dark, murky waters where the word revenge starts rampaging your brain quite a bit. While scrolling r/pettyrevenge , I came across…

20+ Memes about pushing through the mid-work-week blues when you're just a tired little dude

Workers of the world, you're halfway there! Lets face it, for many jobs, working 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. is a given. It's a long time to spend at your workplace — eight hours a day at least, answering emails or working with customers, and spending lots of time in close quarters with your coworkers . It certainly helps if you love your job, your coworkers, or your place of business, but not everyone can be so fortunate. As the people who created the memes below knew, sometimes you're going to get stuck…

'Now THIS is a boss!:' Woman Who Has Only Had ‘Narcissistic & Psychotic’ Boomer and Gen-X Bosses Shares Refreshingly Professional Email From Her New Millennial Boss

It's becoming more and more evident that the workplace culture that the Boomers set into effect many moon ago is not working anymore.

Millennials were told they could be whatever they wanted to be, but not told what the options were or how to obtain them. When they started to enter the workforce, they were called lazy, entitled, and many other things. So, mille…

'I broke down crying': Late-night-reading girlfriend sparks the sleep deprived rage of her lamp hating boyfriend, wonders if she's wrong

I love… —lamp? Did a moth write this post? If that were the case, then that would at least explain why she is so insistent that the lamp remain turned on. At least it's safe to be certain that this boyfriend is not a moth as he, in fact, does not love lamp. In fact, he seems to rather despise it —at least at three in the morning when he's trying to catch some sleep before work.
