There's not much a deadbeat dad can do that'll make his children think less of him–except crawling out of the woodwork years after announcing he had a secret family only to ask them to share their college fund with his love child.

Don't mess with the employee checking you in a hotel. They hold the power!

Remember when everyone in the media freaked out at the concept of quiet quitting? This term came to prominence, of course, around the time of returning to in-person work, yet the idea behind quiet quitting has existed as long as offices have. As many typically younger folks pointed out, quiet quitting is not really doing the bare minimum; it's doing your job exactly as you have been instructed to do it while also placing boundaries between your work life and your personal life. It's a rejection…

"Too lazy to take a trip to the bank to throw them into a machine but willing to carry around an entire backpack full of pennies..."

The best way to explain to your boss why a certain policy doesn't work? Show, don't tell! Here, we have an employer who falsely accused the folks on his team of abusing the company's sick day policy with no substantial evidence that anyone was actually doing so. It was probably the classic managerial way of trying to solve a productivity issue that likely has more to do with their own managerial style and a lack of a proper number of team members than anything else. Now, if any employee got sic…

We all have people in our lives who make us wonder how they managed to get this far without having a single drop of technological knowledge or orientation. It is truly amazing (and slightly infuriating) that certain people can completely avoid adapting to necessary technological advancements, and still get so far in life. More often than not, those people end up becoming our bosses, which then leads us to be assigned the fantastic task of helping them navigate through the easiest tech stuff. Af…

It's easy to be underestimated when you're young in the workplace. Here, we have an employee who swears to be the most technically competent person on their team and recently trained a much older coworker who had just started at the company. When a new position opened up that the Redditor applied to and thought they should get in a heartbeat, they were denied for two main reasons. Firstly, their employer assumed she was too young and inexperienced despite having put in more years at the company…

This tow truck driver worked closely with local law enforcement after getting the catalytic converters stolen out of his car, converting thievery into cold, hard justice.

"Even if he really is correct about it being a minute amount of money, that means that it shouldn't be any problem for *them* to pay it."

There's nothing worse than being forced to clean up someone else's mess. These new homeowners assumed everything was good to go regarding compliance with HOA rules and regulations. However, just three months after buying the home, they were suddenly slapped with a ton of HOA fees for violating the bylaws. They tried to communicate that they had not made any adjustments to the house since they purchased it and therefore should not be held accountable for violations that the previous owner must h…

Family dynamics are always tough, even in the best of circumstances… Parenting teenagers is difficult enough when they're your own flesh and blood or they're otherwise your sole charge and are obligated to follow your direction. It gets infinitely more difficult when you have another adult who is influential in your life—especially one of their parents who is undermining you and just generally poisoning the well and encouraging them to be toxic towards you at every possible chance. You'd think…

Don't you sometimes wish you could say whatever you want to your boss, without thinking of the repercussions? Perhaps we could come up with a workplace ‘purge day’, in which everyone could do and say whatever they wanted at work, and then all will be forgotten the next day. Some employees don't need a day like that, as they are not afraid to put people in their place, even their bosses. Take the employee in this Reddit story for example. If I were told by my boss that I have to accept a $1 rais…

This employee seems to think that he and his boss are friends, but let's be real: friends do not treat one another like this. Many folks in the comments section of this Reddit thread called their so-called healthy friendship dynamic into questions, even when it came to their carpooling. Some folks wondered if they even alternate or if the employee is always doing the boss's bidding. The two share an office, and one day, the boss made a snide remark about the smell of the employee's sandwich his…

When we were kids, we were constantly told to always listen to the adults in our lives, most importantly to our parents and teachers. We were raised in the belief that adults always knew what was right and wrong, so we should take their words as guidance through life. Unfortunately, that is often not the case, and surely now we can all think of examples of times adults were very much in the wrong, and went as far as taking advantage of their seniority over the kids in their lives, leading to ve…

Imagine having the sheer confidence of this choosing beggar. She had the chutzpah to leave a letter in a former neighbor’s mailbox asking for him and his wife to buy her a house. What was in it for them? Nothing! Of course, we have plenty of sympathy for folks who are trying to make ends meet and to realize their dreams of owning property. It’s hard out there! However, this Redditor was not even remotely wealthy enough to own a second home and give away one of those homes to a total stranger at…
