Taking over for your coworker in a time of crisis is the nightmare to end all nightmares.

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…

Graphic designers have “off” days too. But sometimes these designs are so poorly done that I wonder if the designer was trying to do it badly on purpose.

May hit close to home.

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'…

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…

Can't live with them, can't live without them.

That sucks.

For some folks, gift-giving is very much not their love language.

You may think you've seen some odd food combos, but these ones really take the cake. Listen up, content creators. You're all banned from having pickles . Every last one of you content creators out there, you have abused your pickle privileges by creating man-made horrors. What have I said about making man-made horrors beyond our comprehension? Straight to jail, all of you. When you've been on the internet for a while, you can often spot when people make foods with the intention of enraging thei…

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…

Working as a barista, you get to meet a bucketload of the general population, most of whom are wildly entitled, despite the fact that underneath their short blond haircut and agitated pointing finger, they're just like you: a human being. Unfortunately, customers were either brought up without manners and never managed to get a knack for them, or they were brought up with manners, and chucked them out the second they turned 18. In any case, OP was working as a barista at a cafe, when a Karen re…

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…

In fairness, there's certainly no easy way to break up with someone. You can try to be as prepared and as measured as possible, but in the end, it always goes down differently than expected because at the end of the day, relationships are a two-way street. Your experience of how something is or isn't working will inevitably clash with the other person's perspective. So when you're finally readying yourself for that unfortunate conversation, it's unavoidable that someone will say something surpr…

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…
