IT people really have it hard out there. It is a genuine surprise how they manage to keep a civil conversation with people while having to fix their constant silly tech problems they could have fixed themselves in less them two minutes. Honestly, the term ‘Technophobic' has lost all meaning when you hear what people need help with. No ma'am, you are not technophobic, you are simply too lazy to learn. And why would you learn if all you have to do to fix your tiny problem is to call the IT person…

You can push the limits all you want, but you'd better be prepared for the consequences. Some people work at the same place for so long that they get a little too comfortable. They start to feel immune to workplace rules and regulations. If you catch them bending the rules, they'll probably just give you a wink and a nudge because they think the higher-ups will have their back. Having friends in high places does help, certainly. But some people get fired for the silliest reasons anyway. For one…

Who doesn’t love to sit back and watch drama unfold when you personally are unaffected by all of it? Well, at least for now. Who knows how these two neighbors plan to escalate their feud after all these shenanigans? Maybe the Redditor will have to get out of their front-row seat and actually pick a side? This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/coralcoast21 , who watched their neighbors start from a petty place of putting up passive-aggressive signs on their lawns to lea…

No matter which way you slice it, going to the dentist is tedious and a little traumatizing– however, for u/1ithe, a teenaged girl with the ‘metabolism of a hummingbird', her routine wisdom teeth removal surgery turned into an episode of Rick and Morty immediately after she was knocked out, largely because she was never fully unconscious.

There are many new routines you have to get used to when you have a new baby in your life. Your sleeping schedule, eating, traveling, working, and, well, everything. A baby is completely helpless and you have to basically do everything for it. So of course that is going to change your life completely. New parents are made aware of this these days and know that they are making a life-altering decision by having a kid. And mothers who were never warned about this and had to figure it out as they…

Saying “no” is an important skill to learn in life. It takes practice: it can be way easier to instantly say yes to whatever people ask you to do. Especially if you're a people-pleaser, you probably know the pressure of feeling like you have to agree to every request people throw at you. Maybe it's your boss asking if you can stay late at work on a Friday, even though you see him waltzing out of the office at 4 PM. Or perhaps your ex-partner keeps trying to get you back in their life, and you k…

Not all vegans out there subscribe to the stereotype of the intense activists who try to force others into their beliefs. However, as you probably know, there are exceptions. Take the case of a woman who shared an apartment with her vegan roommate. Initially, their relationship was cordial; the OP respected her roommate's dietary choices, and there was no awkward tension between the two. But things quickly did a 180.

It’s remarkable how immature fully grown adults can be when they are forced to share space. What’s even more remarkable is that none of the three adults in this scenario can afford their own places. Our condolences to the poor parents who have to hear all this squabbling from these literal children who refuse to grow up. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/KingQuenchie , who never seemed to get along with their future sister-in-law. Matters were made worse wh…

Getting fired from your job stinks—there's really no way around it. Even if you hate your job with a burning passion, the sudden loss of employment and security is nearly impossible to get past easily. But, while getting fired already isn't an ideal scenario, being asked to train the person who is sure to become your replacement is undoubtedly worse. When you're suddenly asked to write a process to document the ins and outs of your position, or your company suddenly hires or promotes someone to…

Relatable work memes to scroll on company time

Mama Bears are the fiercest competitor at the store, collecting goods and gifts for their offspring. However, as they're vying for front-of-the-line positions, fighting for special deals, and demanding that retail employees jump through hoops for the purchases, mothers can quickly transform into Karens.

At the end of the day, you can't accurately gauge someone's income solely based on their job title. Salaries can fluctuate significantly across different industries. So, never think you're better than anyone because you assume you make more money than them. This lesson hit home when a group of entitled friends decided to mock their acquaintance for being an agricultural engineer, dismissing it as not a "real" engineering profession. Throughout their group dinner with their families, they belitt…

When you become a father, you are now a father 24-7 for the rest of your life. Even if you choose to ignore those duties, that is still you affecting your child as a father, a bad father, but still a father. One of the biggest struggles parents tend to have is letting their child be free to do what they want. Parents want their kids to not make the mistakes they did growing up, so they forbid them from it. But the thing is, that isn't going to stop them, especially once they are grown…

Making a custom order can be the perfect gift, but only if the creator actually writes what you want! There are seemingly quite a few sellers out there who have taken some liberties with what they'll write on a shirt or a cake. Getting a custom birthday cake for someone is usually a sweet surprise. The birthday celebrator gets to have a professional-looking cake to take photos with and commemorate the occasion. But as you can see from the numerous examples below, sometimes a simple request for…

When workers are denied scheduled raises, it should come as no surprise to their bosses when they start quiet quitting. Or for those of us who understand what quiet quitting actually is, acting our wage. Not only was this part-time server overextending and taking on more duties than she was being paid for, but also her boss had become reliant on her taking on those extra responsibilities. Those of us who have been in similar positions understand this conundrum all too well. However, this Reddit…

Talk about instant karma. In this story, an employee had been diligently contributing to his team's project, all while putting up with the constant yelling and overwork from his new contractor. Eventually, feeling completely burnt out, the employee decided to take a much-needed break. When he approached his boss about it, the reaction was far from supportive. The boss threw a tantrum , yelling obscenities and insisting the employee didn't need a break, but he actually needed therapist instead.…
