Not another delayed flight … When you decide to book a flight to the vacation destination of your dreams, you're basically accepting that you might be delayed. There's a roughly 74% chance that your flight will arrive on time, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics . Great news! However, there's also about a 23% chance that your flight will be delayed in some way, whether you board late or show up to your destination a few hours after you were supposed to. And, sadly, about 1.3% o…

Imagine getting told by your boss that you're too expensive for your job and then costing them way more money to fire you. Let this story serve as a warning sign for some of the higher-ups out there that firing someone just might end up with more expensive consequences than keeping that person onboard. Here , we have a Technical Director at a company in Southern Europe who managed to get full compensation for a year after his dismissal before signing on to work for his former company's biggest…

Don't need the gavel to drop to know these memes are guilty of LOLs.

Most people would not be helping out their neighbors if they came to ask for something. We've all found ourselves in need of something that we didn't have and had no way of getting and ended up having to knock on someone's door and ask for their help. So whether it's asking for a glass of milk, an egg, or even a ladder, we've all landed a helping hand at some point or another. However, some requests are going a bit too far, which might lead us to say ‘no’ to people when they come knocking at ou…

These people just want to work out , but they're having trouble due to… the other people at the gym. Going to the gym can be really motivating. You can go with a friend so that you can talk while you work out. Some people like to go alone and listen to a podcast while they run or some music while they lift weights. There's often a community of dedicated gymgoers who come in every morning or night hoping to become healthier. But it's not all fun and games, because some people are not versed in g…

No matter how old or young you are, making a spelling mistake has the potential to make you feel like a complete and total buffoon. As someone who writes for a living, I can attest to the fact that I still have that age-old fear of being misunderstood and embarrassed by a grammatical or spelling error. If it happens to you once, you never really forget that feeling. In an ideal world, making these errors should help you think twice before messaging someone or posting something online for the wo…

Let's read about some heartwarming stories of instant karma doled out to the worst drivers on the road. I'm sure you know the type, because the roads are full of crazy drivers . Some people love to tailgate, which is just baffling. What do they think is going to happen if that person they're tailgating slams on the breaks? Why are they so insistent on getting to their destination 2 minutes sooner that they're willing to make the road less safe? The crazy drivers of the world aren't considering…

No, potential employer: none of us are “normal.” Here is yet another example of why recruiters and human resources folks should simply not be allowed free rein to ask whatever they like. In an ideal world, job applications should be solely about one's resume and qualifications, and there should be an equal exchange of information. That means that on the other side, there should be transparency about expectations, salary, benefits, and workplace culture. I suppose the fact that the question of “…

This is something that comes up now and again that anyone offering specialized services to clients will certainly resonate with. It's amazing how often a person or an organization will pay for services, products, and the expertise that comes along with them, only to refuse to accept the advice that they're paying for. And with ego-fueled hubris, they suddenly decide that they know what's best. The old adages might tell us that “The customer knows best” and that "The customer is always right in…

You know how some people will pay off big fines with massive bags of pennies? This is in a similar vein… except 10x crazier. When people get involved in court battles , it can quickly become petty and contentious. The two parties are in court because they're trying to litigate an issue, and it's going to cost one of them a lot of money in the end. What the court rules is what you have to do, whether you like it or not, and even if you appeal the verdict, you may still have to pay that big fine…

When you are a kid, there are many things adults do that just seem impossible for your little brain to comprehend. How do adults understand every road sign they see while they are driving? How do they know where to go when they are abroad? How do they pay taxes? How do they buy a house? Granted, as a 26-year-old woman, I still have absolutely no idea how adults do most of the stuff they do, and I am sure I am not the only one. How really does one even begin the process of looking for a house to…

If you've ever worked in retail, you've probably fantasized about telling off a customer.

There is nothing like a Karen ruining a gas station pit stop experience! Picture this: you're on a long road trip and it's time to make a brief trip to the gas station so you can fill up your car and grab some snacks. These trips should, in theory, be quick and painless, but leave it to the Karens of the world to make the experience completely and utterly insufferable. For starters, this Karen assumed that another customer was the gas station attendant. Now, he clearly did not work there, espec…
