What's the point of a vacation if you have to keep an eye on your phone the whole time? If you're anxiously awaiting a call from your boss at any minute, you're not exactly getting much time to relax and unwind. Disconnecting from work is so important, but a lot of managers view vacation time as some optional luxury. They seem to take it personally when their employees request time off, as if that employee is taking money from their pockets. Even though it's just their job to manage people, the…

As children, we're all taught that “we get what we get and we don't get upset.” Perhaps this is true in the vast majority of circumstances, but if you were to receive one of these Christmas gifts, you would have to possess a whole lot of self-control to be able to stop yourself from letting your rage bubble to the surface. Of course, not everyone is easy to shop for during the Holidays. I have been known to spend several weeks in December agonizing over what to gift my parents. For some family…

No one gets through a career in customer service unscathed. No matter how hard you try at your job, there will always be some Karen customers who insist on ruining your day. They'll come in with complaints, some valid, and others merely ridiculous. Sometimes, these customers want things they can't have, like sky-high discounts, or they don't understand why they can't have an item that's clearly out of stock. For whatever reason, this customer won't take no for an answer. They'll keep pushing th…

Imagine taking your girlfriend of six years on a spur-of-the-moment trip to Hawaii to finally propose, only to discover that this was not meeting her expectations. Such is the unfortunate reality of our time on the internet, where over-the-top marriage proposals are frequent TikTok and Instagram trends. Apparently, a nighttime proposal on the beach in an idyllic dream vacation spot was not perfect enough for this entitled 21-year-old. As many folks in the comments section of this Reddit thread…

"My parents tore into me about how I was ‘only going to community college,’ and how I ‘didn’t go to high school anyway.’"

There are the kinds of places where the boss is watching you like a hawk, counting the minutes that you're spending at your desk. Meanwhile, they're going out for a smoke break with their favorite staff, what seems like every five minutes. This is exactly why most places have laws around what breaks an employee is entitled to because even with the laws, too many business owners and managers have their own ideas about when and even how breaks should be taken, whether or not those ideas are align…

This assistant is trying her hardest, but fundamentally misunderstands a lot of things. Some people are just like that: they're very bright in some ways Up next, read some utterly baffling admissions essays from hopeful students, like one kid who “wrote a 750-word admissions essay describing the smell of baked potatoes... I got in.”

A perfect time for a lengthy Glassdoor review.

Holiday beef

Most folks cannot fathom having the audacity to make a scene at a coffee shop, and yet, there are clearly enough people in this life who continue to make scenes any chance they can. Does this stem from a bitterness toward the world? Does it stem from a warped sense of entitlement? Are these folks capable of stepping out of their own experiences to realize the world does not revolve around them? The short answer to that last one is… unlikely. Here, we have an entitled Karen who put in an overly…

I always feel like somebody's watching me

One driver was faced with an uncooperative car rental company , but they didn't let it get them down. Instead, they took initiative! That new rental car feeling is such a rush. You've got this fresh, clean, probably pretty new car, and it's all yours for the next few days or weeks. You get that fun feeling of driving a new car, and there's no need to worry about your messy passenger seat or those random bags you've left lying around the car. Still, after a while, you just start to want your old…

It's the time of year to get disappointed by your employers when they fail to give you the Christmas bonus you most likely rightfully deserve. There is nothing like the month of December to feel simultaneously grateful and jaded. On the one hand, you're planning to spend time with loved ones, which in and of itself requires figuring out logistics, purchasing gifts, and negotiating difficult personalities. On the other hand, you're looking forward to some much-needed time off work, which in and…

Cyber trucks haven't even been on the market for that long, but when you see one out in public, it's an unmistakable sight. These Tesla cars are big, boxy gray cars that just look strange compared to every other truck on the market. They look like video game vehicles that haven't been rendered properly. Some people compare them to dumpsters, to which they do have an uncanny resemblance. They just don't look like they should be real cars… they look like something you'd see in an 80s movie predic…

Catching a thieving neighbor is not as easy as it looks. First of all, without evidence, it's kind of an audacious assumption to be made. It's certainly not the kind of thing you can accuse someone of face-to-face unless you have concrete proof. In this instance, the only concrete evidence this Redditor had was that her neighbor was a miserable human being. That's certainly enough to suspect, but it's not enough to prove. For a little backstory, the Redditor started to create distance between h…

Nothing is better than seeing a Karen face the consequences of her actions.
