'I NEED this $400 swing for free': Top Choosing Beggars of the Week (November 12, 2023)

As Thanksgiving and the Holiday season come closer, we need to prepare ourselves for the choosing beggars of the world, who will be coming out of the woodwork demanding special treatment with an air of desperation about them. It takes a specific kind of person to be able to be simultaneously desperate and entitled, and in my own life, I tend to see a lot of this in family and friends toward the end of the year. We're talking about people asking for you to catsit for them for a few weeks and yet…

'Our turnover rate is through the roof': Entitled boss mocks employee for taking first day off in 10 months, gets instant karma when half of his employees quit

Ever had a lousy boss or a job that you absolutely hated ? Well, imagine working at a place with a jaw-dropping 92% turnover rate. Yup, you heard it right. Our OP, in ten whole months, took just one, yes ONE day off, and it was actually just a half-day. Why? Well, he had a nasty sunburn that turned into sun poisoning. So, when he informed his boss that he had to bail out in the middle of his shift for a doctor's appointment, his boss couldn't help but chuckle. Sunburn wasn't a good enough reaso…

'Housemates tell me to watch TV in my room... No problem!': A common roommate feud gets resolved with satisfying malicious compliance

Living with roommates is always hit or miss. It's not easy to find people you can live in harmony with. Everybody had their own way of life and even if you love that person out in the real world, when it comes to your living space, they might completely clash with you. It's normal, so don't feel bad if you have had roommate issues. Once you find that perfect roommate combination though, it truly is glorious—feels like you're living in your own uplifting sitcom. However, this Redditor was not in…

'If we all agree to this, then we can all get perfect scores': Professor with bizarre grading policy gets schooled after students game the system, giving everyone a perfect score

Imagine taking a test where the factually correct answer was irrelevant and what actually mattered was saying what the majority of the class said. This might be a fun exercise. Perhaps it could be a lesson about plurality and group decision-making. However, facts should matter, and just because the majority of the students in a class may think that the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1776, that doesn't make it true. Just in case you're curious, the Constitution was devised in 1787, ratified i…

'It came out to like $2,400 after legal fees': Hospitality worker sues boss after claiming he was underpaid, worker wins in court

Props to this OP! We all know it can be hard to advocate for ourselves in a work setting. Especially when the boss isn't having it. In this story, the OP knew he was being underpaid as a hospitality worker. So, he decided to tally up all of his hours, during AND after work hours, and then submit the evidence to his boss as a backing for why he deserves a raise or at least to be compensated fairly. Well, his boss just laughed him off.

'Do not buy the coffee': 20 Fast food employees tell all about the worst items to order

No one goes to a fast food restaurant for nutrition per se, but we should expect the bare minimum with regard to sanitation. Now, we're not here to tell you that fast food is bad for you. First of all, that's a given. Second of all, how are we going to stop you for those restless late nights when the only thing that can give you some semblance of joy is a large Oreo milkshake and an order of chicken nuggets? Still, if you find yourself walking into a fast food establishment on one of those desp…

'It was an email I would NEVER send': Coworker signs intern's name on unprofessional email, intern speaks to boss, coworker gets fired

Who doesn't have nightmares about work emails? Whether it's you sending an email to the wrong person or receiving a dreaded email from your manager, we all have anxiety concerning the ubiquitous phenomenon that is emailing. Sometimes, I even get anxious about sending someone without an attachment or with an egregious typo, especially in my early working days as an intern. In fact, I can't imagine the stress this intern was under when she opened her work email one day only to discover that her a…

Our OP had the ultimate comeback to his entitled sister-in-law who tried to shame him for living in a trailer and working a blue-collar job. In front of their whole family, and in our OP's mobile home, she told her children to stay in school or they will end up like their uncle. She said she doesn't want her kids “working with their hands.” She backed her statement by saying that him and his wife are doing OK, but what if they wanted children? Little did she know he invited his family over to t…

'I didn’t check my emails for seven weeks': Boss pressures employee to 'stay on top of things' during his paternity leave, employee puts his foot down

Anyone who thinks being a good employee means always checking your email when you're on paternity leave has to check their priorities. Sure, bosses tend to put a ton of unnecessary pressure on their employees, as if to say that checking their emails is more important than tending to their newborn child. In fact, this is almost the most obvious example of employers prioritizing work over life and livelihood. It really doesn't get more obvious than that. However, these are the moments in one's ca…

'No OT without manager approval': Worker uses OT policy to his advantage, leaves mid-shift once he hits 40 hours to go to the movies

There's absolutely nothing wrong with finding a loophole within your company's various policies. Make no mistake: your employers are finding loopholes all the time, especially when it comes to finding ways to pay you less. So for the sake of reciprocity, what's wrong with using your work's flawed and unspecific policies to your own advantage when it's appropriate?

‘I answer him in 30 seconds… One hour OT’: Tech employee fed up with antiquated 9-to-5 uses it to his advantage and costs the company way more

It's funny how 9-to-5 still dominates many offices even though most employees are getting paid salary (not hourly) and 100% of their job can be done at home… You'd think these “smart” big business owners would use this new growing mind set or tossing the 9-to-5 to their advantage, but nope. Instead, employees are getting smarter and using this antiquated system to their advantage. For example, this IT employee posted on Reddit how at his job he was forced to stay in the office during his workin…

'Even a free meal isn't worth the frustration': Children of Karens share their worst experiences in public with their parents

Everyone gets embarrassed by their parents in public, but this one goes out to all the children of the entitled Karens and Kevins of the world. They have it so much worse than the rest of us. As someone whose greatest level of embarrassment during childhood as a result of something my parents did was when they danced up and down the aisle of a movie theater one time, I cannot imagine what it would be like to have a quintessential Karen as a parent. The closest I can get to that experience was w…
