Does anyone else fear being on an interminable elevator ride with an annoying stranger? Truly, this is like nails on a chalkboard for me, especially if my fellow passenger tries to make conversation or is as aggressively impolite as this male Karen was. This dude had the audacity to scream on speaker phone during a long elevator ride, having no regard for the other person standing a short distance away from him as if he were completely invisible. So, seeing as the male Karen refused to quiet do…

$500 per day for life? That kid could have been going places...

If you've ever worked in an industry with technicians or mechanics, you know there is one rule that must be followed: Never (NEVER) touch their tools—or tell them how to organize and manage them. This is true even if the company provides the tools, but it is especially true if the mechanics buy and use their own toolsets. As one commenter cleverly pointed out on the original thread, this story was shared: Asking a mechanic to organize or tidy their tools so that you can borrow them is like your…

Oh, the joys of homeownership.

This mastermind really committed to his payback. After moving into an HOA community and almost immediately getting violations (albeit unfairly) for not having a “green enough” lawn and for keeping his trash cans too close to his driveway, he decided to embark on some next-level petty revenge that ultimately managed to be the best thing for the community at large. Essentially, the Redditor decided to join the local homeowner's association and, one by one, plotted to replace the “bad apple” board…

Fighting the good fight

If you've ever wanted to appear smart as you get back at someone who's getting on your nerves, you've got to read these clever quips . There are some times you just can't say what's on your mind, like when you're at the workplace, or when you're talking to family members you don't get along with, or even when you're dealing with someone you dislike, but it'd be super impolite to diss them out of nowhere. In cases like this, you need some low-key insults. You've got to pull out the best quip you…

There is just a certain degree of oversight that doesn't need to occur in any situation. Sure, you might like to keep a tight lid on operations and your staff, but you can guarantee there are certain things that you don't need—and probably don't want—to know. At any rate, there reaches a point in your career where enough is going on underneath your level of authority where requiring any one thing to pass across your desk will result in an amount of work that you can't possibly keep up with. You…

Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, how have you made it this far in life with such little intelligence? For your sake, we hope you haven't. But sometimes you are around a person with so few brain cells, you can't help but mentally facepalm at some of the things that come out of their mouth. With that being said, get ready to be amazed (and a little horrified) by these 30+ ridiculously simple things that somehow needed explaining to grown adults. It's like the universe has a twis…

Being a Chatty Cathy is a blessing and a curse in the workplace. On the one hand, people do tend to enjoy the humorous personality in the office as well as the person who's simply easier to talk to than most. That being said, if you're the type of person who cannot read social cues or understand when a conversation should end, your coworkers are going to avoid having to chat with you at all costs. We feel for this Chatty Cath y because it does not seem like things were entirely her fault. Other…

His dog fell ill the last time he used weed eliminator spray.

There's this trend that happens in every industry, across every workplace, where managers think they've come up with a clever and original new idea to increase profits. See, there are really only two ways to do this: Increase revenue or decrease expenses. However, increasing revenue is hard and takes effort and new ideas, so instead, they start looking at the bottom line. The first place they're going to look at at this point is staffing. Employees and labor are huge expenses, and management is…

After remaining loyal to a company for several years, what would be the final straw for you to call it quits? If you don't have any work drama, the most common answer is probably for a better salary elsewhere. Lots of employees boast about job hopping in their early career in order to reach a desired salary. Some even claim that it's the only way to significantly increase their earnings, as a lot of jobs don't give regular raises, and if they do, they are hardly enough to keep up with inflati...
