Anyone whose been in a courtroom before, knows how unnecessarily long proceedings can be. The slightest mishap can force everyone to start from square one. Well, that's exactly how this hearing that the OP voluntarily attended was going. Frustrated by the prolonged process, he decided he'd had enough and attempted to make an exit. When the judge ordered the man to stay, he compiled. Maliciously compiled that is.

Do you think friends should loan each other money? Not small amounts like buying each other coffee or lunch, but pay-your-friend's-this-month's-rent kind of money. On the one hand, friends should be there for each other, and feel comfortable enough to ask for help when they need it. On the other hand, big sums of money can cause a lot of tension between two people, no matter how close they are. The thought alone of having to ask a friend for your money back can make anyone feel extremely uncomf…

This worker just couldn't stop fabricating tales. Of all the places to start lying, the workplace is one of the most risky. If you choose to spill a few little white lies to your coworkers, you probably won't get caught. Lying to your boss is a whole different game, though. Maybe your friends invite you to the beach on a gorgeous summer day, so you tell your boss that your grandma has passed on. Is it bad form? Yes. But you get to have a fun day in the sun, and your boss is none the wiser. The…

This dude saw right through his boss and was not afraid to call him out on his nonsense. If your supervisor has a preferred method of communication, always be sure that the reason behind this is not so they can do whatever they want and leave no paper trail in the process. In other words, if you have to call out sick due to an emergency, always get it in writing, even if your boss prefers a phone call. Besides, if you're at all like me, emailing is so much better than speaking to your boss on t…

Teachers are the compass by which students can find their way through the vast seas of human knowledge. If you're lucky, your teacher is a trustworthy guide and can help you discover every corner of our universe. But sometimes, your assigned teacher is a total dud who can hardly point due north.

One store owner played with fire until they got burned… Resulting in them losing their entire business. But hey, let's start at the beginning, shall we? OP relayed the infuriating tale on Reddit, the place where employees worldwide come to complain about their entitled bosses. OP was working at a mall and was supposed to work a shift, but got told to 'go home' when they arrived. Weird, OP thought. The next day, OP came back to get their check for work they had done in the past couple of weeks,…

The feeling of ordering a meal and then disliking it is so awkward. It happens to the best of us. Maybe you decide to try a new soup, only to realize it tastes like seawater and sadness. Or maybe you confidently order a dish you've had numerous times, only to realize this establishment makes the meal with ingredients you don't care for. Or maybe your friends force you to try sushi, and you don't like a single one of those ingredients. But you have to save face in front of your dinner guests. Do…

We all have that one coworker we can't get along with for the life of us. If you were given a chance to get back at them, would you take it? One person working at a microbiology lab got really petty when she learned that her coworker was quitting, and made sure to be the one organizing the goodbye gifts. She remembered everything that this coworker had ever said about products they did not like and got every single one of them. Why? Well, the coworker in question was doing very… questionable th…

Depending on where you live, you have every right to film in a public space—as we've learned from the dozens of videos that have gone viral in the last several years of entitled persons being a menace to the public whilst filming and loudly declaring it their right.

The walking hypocrisy that is Human Resources is at it again! This time, we have a fully remote HR representative who refused to grant a loyal employee the ability to work remotely one day per week for childcare-related purposes. It doesn't get more heartless and hypocritical than that. Look, we understand that there is some value in coming into the office: collaboration, productivity, justifying a lease… The truth is, however, that if a company wants to enforce an in-person work policy, it has…

Even if your work, knowledge, and contributions make you irreplaceable in your organization, your employer is never going to admit it. For one thing, they probably aren't even going to be aware of it until long after you're gone. They probably think that there are dozens of people out there who can do exactly what you do. For another, if they did admit how valuable you were, they know that you'd likely want to be paid fairly for that fact—and that's just never going to happen. No, it's better t…

It is 2024, if you are an American and don't know how to properly tip, then shame on you. 20% is the minimum. Period. Nobody cares if you had to send your plate back multiple times, that service industry employee is working to pay their rent. The least you can do is give them $5. Like, stop being so entitled. This entitled customer got a beautiful act of petty revenge thrust upon him, and he probably never even realized it. You see, this guy was not only not going to tip, but he was also holdin…

It's refreshing to read about a family that isn't afraid to dish out the consequences certain family members need. It's not an easy task to reprimand someone you love and care about, but sometimes it just has to be done. It might be hard at first, but in the long run, it is helpful. This guy was lucky enough to have a family that had his back. It had been years of enduring a certain younger cousin's toxic behaviors. Everyone thought and hoped she would grow out of it, but she never did—instead,…

Reading the fine print of any document is tedious. You're squinting to make out the tiny letters, the verbiage is convoluted, and you can't help but feel like you're about to sign your life away at any given clause.

Can you really call dibs on an item in a store? Like any typical shopper, if you aren't sure about an item, you usually hold on to it or put it in your cart while you walk around, just to give you a little more time to decide if the item is really worth it. Or you could come back to the item, but there's no guarantee it will still be there, as other customers may walk past it and snag it for themselves. This is even more true in a thrift store, where every item is unique and usually one of a ki…

People are entitled to having hot takes if they are the right ones. Obviously, some unpopular opinions are not worth giving time for, since they are simply too ridiculous to entertain. But every so often, someone on the Internet poses an idea that makes you think about why certain standards and customs even exist. Or sometimes it's just a well-supported critique of a popular culture phenomenon. Regardless, these are perhaps the few instances in which people online just might be giving the Inter…
