Go ahead. Work an 18-hour day, a double-Deere-dare you

This guy went into full “the customer is always right" mode. And that was to his own detriment! Next, this place rented equipment out for events, but they suddenly realized that the software they used was double-booking almost every event !

If you've been spending time with family this summer, it's quite possible that you have heard the occasional corny, cringeworthy, yet wholesome dad joke or two. Or perhaps you're like these Redditors and you've heard these dad jokes constantly. We have to embrace this cheesy sense of humor in our fathers because the reality of the situation is that these jokes are not stopping any time soon. In this case, we might as well try to enjoy the relentless attempts on the part of our fathers to provok…

Seems like there's an app for everything these days. Like, literally everything! This morning I wanted to book a haircut at a local spot. It turns out the options are to 1) call the place and book or B) download an app and book that way. I couldn't call since I was on a noisy bus while researching this, and also, why would I want to download an app for getting a haircut ? It's something I do maybe four times per year, so why would I want to have that app on my phone if I use it for maybe 10 min…

Ask and you shall receive, ma'am! If you're a customer and you don't get exactly what you ordered, it might be worth it to make sure that your instructions were clear before you throw a tantrum because, in this scenario , we have an entitled customer who got exactly what she asked for and ultimately could not get upset with anyone but herself. Essentially, she called in an order with the most vague instructions for a pizza with everything on it. The worker on the other end of the phone call tri…

Small coffee with a side of revenge, anyone?

Have you ever been so mad at work that you consider quitting on the spot?

This person has gotten the sign they needed to start looking for a new job . Leave it to the Redditors of the world to give out sage advice. Since they're just random people online, they tend to have a level-headed view of a situation, even if the person posting their query might not always agree. This person, u/freeefinally, was curious if they were really not pulling their weight in the workplace. They shared that their boss simply will not leave them be! He keeps calling them constantly duri…

Life can deal you some funny and unexpected hands. Sometimes, in the form of things that seem so unlikely that you'd consider it next to impossible, they become a reality. Yet, still, these things can happen, and these moments of happenstance can be defining. When this college student bought themself their first real phone in university, they were annoyed to find that their new phone number had previously belonged to someone who numerous financial institutions were trying desperately to reach.…

It is not simple to work in the highly competitive setting of today's workplace. When we learn that we happen to earn more money than the person seated next to us, whether we prefer to own it or not, there is a tiny sense of satisfaction. When it comes to promotions, we'll do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means treading on someone else to get that promotion. The story below is of a shocked worker. The original poster (OP) had been employed by the same company for a considerable amoun…

Mediocre managers never quite know what to do when their employees speak their minds and are 100% entitled to do so. Here, we have a grocery store employee who posted on social media about the difficulties of making $12.50 per hour as a single mother. It was a difficult and vulnerable post to make publicly for her, but rather than receive sympathy from her manager once she discovered it, instead, her manager took the opportunity to punish the employee for making the post in the first place. Now…

Reddit is full of stories of overworked employees struggling to keep up with the workload their managers demand from them. And it is no strange subject to most employees, we all know how hard it is to live up to the expectations of bosses, clients, and customers, and it is almost impossible to do it without collapsing on the job. What you don't read or hear a lot of, are stories about employees who are actually asked to work less, and lower their performance, like the employee in this Reddit st…

It is never simple to work in customer service. It's far worse, though, to work in customer service when your superiors are awful. An employee of customer service recounts her frustrations in the story below. The original poster (OP) has a long history of employment in the hospitality industry. While initially everything was going along very well, things started to go south when OP began having issues with his manager. But leave it to OP to avenge in the most creative means possible. When it ca…

Some days at work are more memorable than others. Just think about it: there are probably hundreds of days of work, or life in general, that pass by mundanely, never to be remembered again. The human brain just isn't meant to remember every second of every day. But those memorable days at work can really stick with you! The 1,000+ people replying to this person's r/AskReddit question had a few memorably weird work days to share, ranging from oddities to entire days that were completely derailed…

How can students be expected to follow the rules when their teachers refuse to do the same? Learning should be a two-way street, am I right, folks? Here, we have a student who promptly submitted their assignment 13 minutes prior to the deadline, only to discover later on that he was given a late penalty on his final grade. After confronting the professor about what he assumed was an innocent grading mistake, the professor dug his heels into the ground and refused to budge. In fact, he claimed t…

How often do you accidentally ruin your meals? No matter how skilled you are as a chef or baker, there are going to be times that you totally mess up your recipe. For example, one person here forgot to label their flour and powdered sugar (although they taste and smell very different!). Their recipe got completely sabotaged because of this… and they aren't the only ones! Up next, these bosses had some utterly ridiculous requests for their employees, like one manager who “asked me if he could bo…
