One student became furious when her school principal gave one of her friends demerit points for 'dress code violations'. The most annoying part was that even though she was wearing the same thing as her friend, she didn't get told off. In a sense, this student was upset that they hadn't been punished. That's some real loyalty right there! The issue was bigger than that, though. This principal would only give certain girls in the school dress code violations. Unfortunately, this was a recurring…

One person was giving away some cat shelves for free, when they encountered the weirdest customer they had ever come across. When you buy something online you determine a time to meet up, right? I feel like that's the universally acceptable thing to do. Otherwise, you risk just standing outside in the rain or something, without having a concrete plan in place for when you will have the product in your hands. And if you did end up driving out to a seller's house without having set a time to meet…

Public transit attracts all kinds of people, and a big chunk of them are the type you wish you'd never have the pleasure of encountering in your life. Imagine you are on a train, and all these people are packed on it. You've found yourself a nice window seat, and the beginning of your journey goes smoothly. Then, something unfortunate happens… Your nice, quiet seatmate leaves, and a loud, rude one sits across you instead. She begins chewing loudly, mumbling, and eventually, puts her feet on the…

On those groggy mornings where you're on autopilot , mishaps are bound to happen. We've all done it: when you're half-awake, you tend to do things like forget to bring your laptop to work, or maybe you start driving to your mom's house instead of the office, or even searching desperately for your phone while holding it. That's especially funny if someone witnesses you using your phone flashlight to look between the couch cushions for the phone in your hand. One of the more embarrassing things I…

It must be difficult to be a barista if you don't like to make coffee. Or to be clear, it seems like some baristas look down on anyone who doesn't like their coffee black. They seemingly have a personal vendetta against the vast majority of coffee drinks who don't want their bean juice to be bitter and scalding. Lots of people love frappes or lattes or any number of blended coffee drinks, and this love is fueled by social media “secret menu” hacks. When social media was in its younger years, a…

Hi there Cringe

Working at a bakery is a dream come true for some, and honestly, what is not to like? The place smells like a literal heaven, and you get unlimited pastries. I might be exaggerating the ‘dream come true part’, because although the latter is true, there is still the pesky issue of the actual work. It can get repetitive, and the pay isn't great (in other words, don't expect to retire early), and to top it all off, you have annoying customers who have obviously never worked a day in their life, an…

Great parties are a dime a dozen, but a party that goes completely off the rails will be talked about forever. U/Swansatron had an intriguing query for the r/AskReddit community: “Reddit, what was the worst party you ever attended?” Every answer was a little different — some people shared the funniest things that ever happened, while others revealed they threw parties that hardly anyone attended.

Hello darkness my old friend

That sucks.

The service industry is riddled with careless, entitled, and rude customers who think you, as a server, should worship the ground they trample on. At the rate employees come and go in this industry, it's easy to decipher why nobody really likes to work as wait staff. In this case, OP was working at a pizzeria, waiting on an entire floor of tables alone, as there were no other servers on duty that shift. Running to and fro, most of the customers could recognize a damsel in distress when they saw…

Karen roommates are a dime a dozen, as almost everyone has had to deal with somebody who lacks basic practical skills and human decency. In this case, OP was sharing a two-bedroom with a roommate who he quickly found out was a Karen. Thriving on conflict, Karen always found something wrong to point out. She has given herself one hundred different labels, some of which include being a germaphobe, which she uses as an excuse to demand OP touch nothing… in his own home. OP said he was willing to t…

Cringe-fest

Tsk, tsk, testing our patience again, are we? Welcome to this week's top mildly infuriating fails. We don't take the word ‘mildly’ lightly, as the fails below aren't the end of the world, but they are a pesky nuisance. Sometimes things don't go as planned, an annoying neighbor butts his nose up in your business, or Karen believes she gave birth to you. Whatever it may be, something is always the matter. Maybe we're entitled, or bored, or expect too much of the universe. Perhaps it is precisely…

Awkward, cringe.

Every workplace has some kind of group chat, and you'd assume managers would check the members before spreading information about someone getting fired beforehand, but alas, in this case, they did not. OP found out that he was going to be fired in 3 weeks after his boss forgot that he was actually included in the group chat. OP was working as a driver for the company and had been accused of breaking something that according to him, was already breaking since he had started working. The reason t…
