'Teacher hates Senior Skip Day': teacher threatens to fail students if they don't show up for test, students maliciously comply

'Teacher [tries to ruin] Senior Skip Day': Teacher wants to fail students if they don't show up for test, students get even after a round of golf

Who knew that a round of golf would be the key to getting even with a domineering high school teacher? Look, we all had that one teacher who was unnecessarily strict, stubborn, and rude. That teacher who wouldn't let students have their moment of freedom. In this case, that moment of freedom was the Senior Skip Day tradition. This Redditor shared a tale of r/MaliciousCompliance about her Dad back when he was a high school senior. Every teacher seemed to understand that Senior Skip Day was a tra…

'Force me to do Karaoke?': Non-singer pressured to perform at show-off's karaoke party, cue malicious compliance

'Force me to do Karaoke?': Non-singer pressured to perform at show-off's karaoke party, cue malicious compliance

Karaoke is not for everyone, and it's ten times worse when you have an actual good singer present. We all know why that is. They hog the microphone, they take it too seriously, they pick obscure songs (probably musical theater), and belt crazy notes that don't actually sound as good as they think. In short, karaoke is only fun when everyone in the group is on the same page about what this is. You can either have a room full of show-offs and legitimate singers, or you can have a room full of non…

'That's my job': Interview candidate calls company, accidentally speaks to the employee she might replace, employee left aghast

This job candidate thought it was a good idea to call up the company she was interviewing for, until she realized she made a huge mistake. That's because the marketing assistant who answered the phone just so happened to be the very person the Redditor would be replacing if she were to get the position. It gets worse…. the current employee had absolutely no idea she was being replaced at all. Talk about a shady boss and a major red flag for the interview candidate! If this story serves a purpos…

20+ Misleading packaging and items that overpromised and failed to deliver

Managing people's expectations is one of the most important parts of any communication around service delivery. The last thing you want to do is overpromise and then not deliver on the expectations that you have set for yourself. Underdelivering on expectations will always end up with people being disappointed—regardless of if it's a business or personal relationship. It's far easier to set realistic expectations in the first place and then win them over when you exceed that just-average level…

'This is what happens when you text and run...': 30+ Gym-going goofballs who are working out the wrong way

There are rules at the gym , but you wouldn't know it by the way these people tried to work out. Let me tell you a story. The year was 2011, and a brand new Planet Fitness opened up in my area. It was so cheap back then that even as high schoolers, my friends and I could pay monthly to go work out . Gym class? Nah, we couldn't be bothered. We felt like we were adults, and we wanted to work out like them. It didn't matter that we didn't know how to use any of the machines; we'll figure it out as…

'Close them completely': Manager demands bathrooms are closed while cleaned, chaos ensues

A good bathroom is an essential part of any business where food and beverages are being served. After all, there is a… certain connection between consuming things and the inevitable need to make use of one. This is especially true when you're operating a cafe—as coffee is specifically known for its ability to get things moving. Now, a good bathroom isn't going to necessarily make a good business—but it might break one. The last thing you want your customers to associate your establishment with…

'To use the disabled lift, please come upstairs': 30 People who had just one job and still goofed it up

Jobs, how do they work? These people made various levels of mistakes that they really should have caught before it went out to the public. Below are 30 people who had just one job to get right, and they couldn't even do that. The funniest versions of this to me are translators or transcribers who messed up. There are people who were writing copy, needed translation to another language, and somehow that never happened. Then you end up with TV captions of a person who says a Korean word, and the…

'Do not iron while wearing shirt': 20 funny signs and labels for careless folks

There's a reason why everyone tells you to always read the label first. For one, as your mother probably told you growing up, you don't want to purchase, eat, wear, or try anything that might cause any damage whatsoever. However, in addition to that far more important reason, there's also the fact that if you don't read your signs and labels, you might be missing out on some quality content. I mean, there really is nothing quite like reading a sign and doing an immediate "Did I read that right?…

We also wish we could have seen the look of defeat on this guy's boss's face. When you first start your job, you have no idea what your boss is going to be like. As you interview, you might talk to your direct boss once or twice, and you can probably get a good first impression of them, but it's hard to know what your day to day life will be like. Even if your boss seems great from the start, they might start to turn on you after a while, which is apparently what happened with this person's bos…

'I demanded a partial refund and they refused': Tattoo artist tattoos initials onto unsuspecting person

Tattoos are so personal to the individual getting their skin adorned. Everyone knows that tattoos last forever, but it's a hard concept to fathom until you actually get the tattoo. Depending on where you get it, you'll either 1) look at it every day, so you'd better love it! or 2) never look at it if it's on your back or legs, and you'll kind of forget you have it at times. Regardless, you do have that art work forever, and even if you can't see it, other people probably can. Along with your ha…
