There are plenty of excellent presents for a boss to give to an employee, but one boss screwed up this simple task so badly that his employee decided to quit . The OP shared their story to r/antiwork, and revealed the entire story behind their decision to leave. As the OP tells it, they were bringing in plenty of cash for the business, generating over a million dollars in commissions during their time at the company . But after being given a truly unthoughtful present, the OP decided to leave,…

Back in his day, kids used to walk to school uphill both ways — backward, with their legs tied together and while balancing a razor-sharp scimitar atop their head. Apparently, these entrepreneurial youths also used to knock on people's doors during blizzards and sub-zero temperatures in order to offer their shoveling services for a fiver… Next, they'll be telling us that Minecraft is evidence that the children yearn for the mines . It might be frightfully cold out, but that didn't stop this ent…

"Their failure to secure seats together is on them, not on you."

I love Fish ‘n’ Chips. They're one of the main pillars of that make a continued existence on this planet worth it. There's nothing quite like a juicy flakey fillet battered in golden breading and deep-fried to succulent perfection. Serve that up with your choice of sauce and a side of chips, and you're talking some serious joy in edible form. Without Fish ‘n’ Chips, where would we be as a society?.. I'd rather not know the answer. Well, this deadbeat dad-to-be clearly shares the same passion fo…

Dads everywhere, unite! This side-splitting post got hundreds of comments from people ready to jump into action to help this dad embarrass his daughter . The post is old-but-gold — in the years since it's been posted, a lot of the lingo has gone out of fashion already, making this a hilarious time capsule into the past. Modern day parents can take a note from this dad's book! He got plenty of inspiration to make his teenage daughter cringe and call him uncool. Check out the internet's contribut…

From calling out privilege to giving some serious shade to medical professionals, some highly opinionated folk have taken to Reddit to express themselves. Being this vocal in real life might spark a dispute or two, and depending on how far you take it, you might even find yourself jobless. People take things very seriously nowadays, and the internet is full of people who advocate for cancel culture. People commend free speech as long as they're the ones talking. r/unpopularopinions has been cre…

There's often a lot of anxiety that comes with the decision to quit your current job and start a new one. We're creatures of habit and comfort by nature, so thrusting yourself into the unknown isn't easy. So many uncertainties come with a new job that you can't help your imagination wander into wild territories. Will the new job be worse? What will my new boss be like? Will I be any good at my new job? Will I fail catastrophically? Will I regret leaving? It's safe to say that, despite these fea…

Who knew the concept of curly-haired men would cause such a stir a century ago?!

The 90's was such a wild time. Everyone had an answering machine and voicemails were recorded then straight up broadcast in your home, spouting your business out loud to everyone within earshot and that was just a normal, accepted thing. An answering machine wouldn't be a problem if you lived alone, but the moment you live with other people, you share your voicemail (on your land line of course). There's no privacy there. One man, who lived in a big house of dudes when he was a college freshman…

Buying and selling items means interacting with random people who want your stuff — and sometimes they're a bit kooky in their demands. One person shared their experience with this. As they wrote on the r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit, their sister had to deal with this strange potential buyer as she was trying to offload a stroller. Right from the beginning, the potential buyer has an odd way of speaking, which probably didn't help their argument. They wanted the seller to hand deliver the package…

It's 2023 and our complaints about work are still going strong!

A small business owner shared their recent disastrous findings, and people can't believe their eyes! Poor Sienna Studios just wanted to make some cute home decor items. They just didn't think about what might happen with the waste from their product creation until it was already too late.

We love family dysfunction, but this one has truly sparked some debate.

Anyone who travels frequently has had their luggage go missing at some point… and anyone who has had their luggage go missing at some point has experienced the anxiety of having their valued personal possessions locked in a suitcase in who-knows-where and with who-knows-who. Airlines are never helpful at quelling these fears; their vague assurances and unwillingness to acknowledge the existence of a problem leave us with no answers wondering what cruel fate has befallen our precious goods. In m…

Interacting with strangers is a curious thing: Two people with a lifetime of experiences… thoughts, ideals, goals, and passions; colliding together for a single moment (or mere moments), resulting in each person forming the static two-dimensional projection that is their impression of the other person. How was that person in that moment? There are so many ways to define or categorize this: Were they amiable or antagonistic? If antagonistic, was that born from a lack of understanding — or a conf…

Crossing the boarder between the U.S. and Mexico is already unnecessarily stressful. You could be sitting in your car and know for a fact that you have no reason to get in any sort of trouble with boarder patrol, but will still be sitting there sweating.
