25 Strange Subway Sightings

25 Strange Subway Sightings

When you take public transit, you are agreeing to the possibility of seeing some very strange people. It's almost like an unofficial social contract you sign the minute you step on the train, bus, ferry, etc. And when you do find yourself in these shocking, confusing, and cringeworthy moments, you may stop to ask yourself if there's some sort of special event going on that you don't know about. Perhaps you forgot that it's Halloween or perhaps there's some sort of popular musician's concert in…

'I left the lid open for good measure': Resident gets even with neighbor who kept using their trash can, placing bin by their patio

'I left the lid open for good measure': Resident gets even with neighbor who kept using their trash can, placing bin by their patio

Every apartment/home comes with a unique set of problems, unless you're Bill Gates, of course. Either your boiler keeps breaking down, your roof is leaking, or a pipe burst. Perhaps you don't have any of the above issues, but your neighbors are an absolute pain to deal with. Well, in that case, join the club… See, I've had a neighbor or two who made it their mission to make my life as miserable as possible, so I can definitely relate to OP, who was fed up with his own neighbor's rude antics. Ye…

Top Hilarious Reasons People Gave for Quitting Their Jobs

Top Hilarious Reasons People Gave for Quitting Their Jobs

People often wonder if they should quit, dreaming of greener pastures, or in other words, more money, better work conditions, and nicer coworkers. Also, let's not forget the most important thing of all… a good boss. Quitting your job can be easy, or hard, depending on how much you enjoy it. Once upon a time, I was working as a waitress, and let's just say that it wasn't hard at all to let go of rude customers, not great pay, and long nights cleaning bathrooms. But hey, I had some pretty legitim…

‘I took her promotion; then I got her fired': Employee gets boss's promotion, prevents her from getting promoted, then gets her fired

‘I took her promotion; then I got her fired': Employee gets boss's promotion, prevents her from getting promoted, then gets her fired

The moral of this story is to be nice to everyone because you never know who you'll end up working for. Look, I get it. There are people I work with that I'd rather never see again. But life is arguably pretty long, and you might be surprised at who you'll potentially work with, or rather, beneath. OP had one of those supervisor's who simply despised him. Maybe he reminded her of an ex-boyfriend, or maybe she was jealous. I'm gonna vote on the latter, as OP was extremely good at his job, despit…

‘Here's your electricity bill, then': Landlord pays thousands in electricity after IT business owner gets even with him for refusing to pay $400 in HVAC building maintenance

‘Here's your electricity bill, then': Landlord pays thousands in electricity after IT business owner gets even with him for refusing to pay $400 in HVAC building maintenance

With great power, comes great responsibility, or so they say… well, obviously that quote is lost upon 99 percent of people who actually hold any real power, because oftentimes, with power comes greed. And greed can make you blind to your responsibilities. In this case, OP was an IT business owner, who was renting an office in a fairly nice building, and even though there were a few minor issues here and there, they were fixed, albeit a bit slowly. Then the AC unit that happened to sit above OP'…

‘Enjoy the rest of your ride': Man gets even with passenger on train ride who signals him to ‘shush’ after being requested that he speak on the phone elsewhere

‘Enjoy the rest of your ride': Man gets even with passenger on train ride who signals him to ‘shush’ after being requested that he speak on the phone elsewhere

Riding the train isn't half as bad as taking the bus, but even then, you can meet some pretty colorful characters… you know the type. Rude and entitled, these passengers seem to have some kind of personal vendetta against you, which isn't possible, considering you don't even know them. In this case, OP was on a 4-hour train ride, in a small compartment, with a due wearing a business suit who had a snotty air about him. The dude kept taking phone calls, talking loudly for a long time, biding his…

'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?…

Tsk, tsk, questionable decisions are being made by management and HR all around the world at this very moment, and you never know the consequences it will bring… In this case, OP explained how he was going to 'jump ship' as soon as possible due to HR in his company, who were doing everything in their power to micromanage the company's employees to a ridiculous degree. An employee at OP's workplace who was working in IT asked for an 8% raise, showing their boss salaries in the area where people…
