This boss clearly enjoys messing around with his soon-to-be former employees on their last days. Whatever happened to being professional and leaving things on a strong note? It sounds like this dude has yet to put two and two together and realize that his manipulative and outright cruel tactics are the main reason why one employee after another is quitting on the spot. The original poster (OP) of this thread explained that after giving their two weeks' notice, they overheard their boss telling…

What do you do when your neighbor expects to use your Wi-fi for free?

"I spilled coffee onto my clothes. Never make that mistake again. I brought brownies in. Never do that again, people could have allergies."

Just how much should you care about your neighbor's yard ? It all depends how well you can mind your business, which this woman has yet to do. Instead, she's content to stick her nose into everyone else's business, and she's trying to involve the local HOA, too. Most of us have a hundred things on our plate at any given time, between work, school, childcare or caring for parents, hobbies, and having a social life. We're often juggling so many things that it can be completely exhausting. But not…

Sometimes, it's better to just leave well enough alone. By making an issue about what you “do or don't” have when you're, well… wrong—you're more than likely to end up with less than you started with in the first place. Especially, as it turns out when you're disputing what you think is the boundary of your new property… Because, as in this story, the neighbor who has been there for longer probably knows a thing or two about why that “boundary” was established in the first place As at any point…

Diving into the belly of the beast

Imagine reaching the end of your final two weeks at your mediocre job you can't wait to leave and learning that your boss knows your new boss. To make matters worse, not only do they know each other, but your current boss feels comfortable threatening to inform your new boss that you are the type to slack off on the job. Of course, this isn't exactly true. This employee had just been slacking off and doing the bare minimum over these last two weeks because who goes above and beyond when they're…

Time does not exist when you're working the night shift...

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, am I right? No one's ever told that to this customer apparently, who just couldn't understand why he wasn't getting his Chinese food i n a timely manner. This story takes place back in the days of landline phones . It seems like they don't even put landline phones in newer houses today; I don't know a single person who still uses that brick of a phone glued to the wall. In the ages of cell phones, they're completely obsolete. Not everyone misses them, eithe…

Neighborhood feuds are never fun to be a part of but they are endlessly entertaining when you yourself are an objective third party. Here, it's obvious who was in the wrong, but at least the resident didn't allow his neighbor to walk all over him. For context, the resident in question hired construction workers to help with his roof project for his elderly father, who lived on his property. He had notified his neighbor well in advance about the construction work, and his neighbor agreed to allo…

As if a household wasn't already hard enough to keep clean , these people are living life on challenge mode. They've acquired some items of beauty that are just way too difficult to clean! Sometimes you can't help but buy that gorgeous item you see at the store, only to be hit later with a big dose of buyer's remorse. Maybe you saw a cutesy lamp that you later realized is not your style at all, or perhaps you picked out a coffee table only to realize you cringe when you see it. It happens to al…

The reality is that everyone has a short fuse once in a while and is therefore bound to have an unnecessary and potentially unprompted outburst. We suppose that it's human nature to snap… within reason, of course. For instance, who hasn't had a friend get snippy with you when clearly you intentionally or unintentionally struck a nerve? Usually, when this happens, you can take a step back and both parties can assess what led to this momentary meltdown. However, sometimes these moments do not hap…

Would you bankroll your father if you got a good enough paying job?

In her husband's defense, the joke was funny; it was just extremely poor timing.

When you find yourself in hot water with the law, it always helps to have a good lawyer by your side. We all hope to avoid legal trouble for all our days. Whether it's a small offense like arguing a speeding ticket, or a bigger offense that could result in jail time, having some legal counsel can help you avoid big mistakes. People who decide to represent themselves in court often make their situations much worse. I know that the urge to stand up and defend yourself is strong, but in these case…

Giving honest feedback is tough, but the only thing harder is receiving it. Especially when the content or implications of that feedback catch us off guard, we might think we're doing everything right and are contributing far above our pay grade and described role, and yet, the visibility of our contributions may not be what we think it is… and we might have fallen afoul elsewhere within our supervisor's expectations. See, it all comes down to perception, which never quite matches up with the r…
