'Garbage manager, garbage store': Rich Karen breaks store rules, pushes employee, manager steps in and sides with Karen

No amount of wealth should excuse any customer from the rules. Unfortunately, there are plenty of entitled rich folks out there with “influence” who seem to think otherwise.

Born from humility and self-doubt, imposter syndrome can strike at any time, but when you have double your salary on the line, it helps to get a second opinion.

Neighborhood Gardener Gets Even With the Corner-Cutting Teen Trampling Her Garden, Using a Freshly Laid Manure Trap

There are some Hobbiton-esque neighborhoods where there are no fences and green grass rolls along every knoll. Here, residents can find tranquil corners of unencumbered, pristine nature, just outside their window– *record scratch* except when there's hooligan teenagers cutting habit trails in your lawn!

'Fired for insubordination': CEO fires employee the day he files for paternity leave, claims he was insubordinate

We're pretty sure toxic bosses are not allowed to do this anymore… This boss decided it was appropriate to fire his hourly employee on the same day that the employee filed for more state-protected paternity leave, a privilege that his boss doesn't normally grant to his other employees as well. First of all, let's start by acknowledging that granting maternity and paternity leave should not be seen as a privilege in anyone's else, nor should workers be rewarded for not taking their full time off…

‘I cannot be in a long sleeve floor-length gown in the heat for 8 hours’: Mother-to-be stands up to an entitled bridezilla, refusing to abide by absurd dress code demands in order to protect her pregnancy

Some people have dreamed about their wedding day since they were a little kid. Childhood dreams of Cinderella dresses, clinking champagne flutes, and a black-tie affair can sail through a kid's mind without a second thought, but in the deep south, an outdoor, summertime, black-tie event is a little more complicated to plan than an enchanting Disney-style ball. Guests could lose more than a glass slipper in those hot n' sweaty conditions...

'He got laid off. An hour into his first day': 10+ wild workplace stories as told by HR

'He got laid off. An hour into his first day': 10+ wild workplace stories as told by HR

We often talk about how HR is not your friend here on FAIL Blog. That being said, there are always good apples everywhere, and you know with certainty that some of these HR professionals have seen some wild stuff. It could be during the hiring process, when HR employees and hiring managers end up hearing some pretty ridiculous demands or inappropriate remarks from potential job candidates. It could be a crazy story from a boss or CEO, who has pretty backward standards when it comes to workplace…

'I can't believe you said that': Work mom won't stop commenting on everyone's physical appearance, employee talks to management

In every work environment, there tends to be a work mom, someone who isn't necessarily in charge but serves as an emotional support figure. However, apparently, not all work moms are universally supportive… In this instance, we have a work mom who may have started out that way but perhaps due to cultural differences or simply due to a false sense of superiority, she started to manipulate those around her with incessant insults and unkind comments. At first, the Redditor who shared this story th…

'It's fun to actually block someone once in a while': IT worker gets back at coworkers who cut the lunch line and force him to eat at his desk

'It's fun to actually block someone once in a while': IT worker gets back at coworkers who cut the lunch line and force him to eat at his desk

You should treat every single person with respect, especially all of your coworkers. The hierarchy of the company comes second to just being a decent human being. However, some people are filled with entitlement and forget that when it comes down to it, we're all just flesh and bones. So when one of these entitled colleagues disrespect a branch of the company that they think they're better than, you better believe they're gonna get a taste of their own medicine. This happened recently with an e…

'Got them all fired': Dude gets even with ex-boss and ex-coworkers by getting a job at the place that handles their contracts

'Got them all fired': Dude gets even with ex-boss and ex-coworkers by getting a job at the place that handles their contracts

Can you imagine getting on this guy's bad side? This Redditor was working as a warehouse associate at a non-profit and helped employ his friend Jim, who was having a host of job problems (meaning he was a difficult employee who would move from job to job frequently). However, OP made sure that Jim would adjust well to the workflow and work dynamics at the warehouse, despite the annoying behavior of two other coworkers and the negligent behavior of their boss. OP, Jim, and a third friend of thei…

‘What is all this ice cream for?’: Mom pushes out ice cream truck man for stiffing her kid, accidentally starts a lovely shared snack society amongst the local families

It takes a village, so the saying goes. But honestly, it's true. Whether that village is just your family, your friend group, or your neighborhood block, sometimes it takes more than just you to help raise your kids right. Recently, a mom let pettiness get the best of her, but instead of it backfiring, justice was on her side and it not only worked, it unintentionally created a beautiful neighborly bound with her families and the other families living around her. You see, what happened was a ve…

'Thank you so much for firing me': People share how they burned bridges on their last day of work

Some of us are people pleasers and could never imagine causing drama on our last day at a job, but others feel that they have nothing left to lose. Honestly, power to these individuals. I could never motivate myself to be that savage, even if I were completely in the right. I've been candid about the experience as a whole, certainly. If I have an exit interview, I do believe that affords employees on their way out with a healthy opportunity to professionally discuss the issues within their plac…

'I was the one that paid the $500': Server forced to pay the bill after table of 11 dines and dashes

'I was the one that paid the $500': Server forced to pay the bill after table of 11 dines and dashes

The most infuriating part of this story is how common this phenomenon seems to be among other servers. Several folks in the comments section of this Reddit thread pointed out that they too would be forced to pay up if any of their customers dined and dashed at a restaurant. Not only is this completely unfair, but this kind of policy is certainly not going to create a sense of loyalty among the restaurant staff. The underlying concept here is that it's the server's fault for allowing customers t…

'I just smiled at him and drove off': Guy gets a job at the place handling the contracts of his ex-coworkers who got him fired, so he gets them fired

Work drama is never fun, but usually the best advice is to never burn bridges when it comes to your career. If you want to leave a toxic workplace, try to leave on good terms just in case you have to work with them again. On Reddit , a guy who worked at a warehouse relayed a story where some people burned some bridges and he was the one to show them how that was a baaaad idea. It wasn't just one incident, OP was working with several of his friends who all of a sudden turned on him for x,y,z. He…

'Guerilla warflowers': Guy gets payback by scattering thousands of wildflower seeds on their neighbor's lawn after she reports them to the HOA for having an ugly yard

Picking a fight with your neighbors can be tricky business. You run the risk of starting an all-out war with people you can never avoid and there's rarely ever any reward– except of course, when you can use the power of nature (and plausible deniability) to get the sweetest revenge on a Karen next door.

'[I] didn't do a single lab report all year': Teacher changes grading policy, student maliciously complies to get out of doing work

'[I] didn't do a single lab report all year': Teacher changes grading policy, student maliciously complies to get out of doing work

The only thing smarter than a student who follows a grading policy is the student who finds a clever loophole. This school needed to adjust its policies after too many athletes were seen failing their classes. So what were the teachers forced to do? Well, instead of the classic A-F scale, final grades were given on a number scale, where the only failing grade was a 1 (you could not get a 0). Additionally, all grades for some reason could only count tests. Perhaps this was a short-term solution…

'The pizza is CRAWLING with ants': Blind guy accidentally eats leftover pizza with a few extra toppings

In a lot of cultures it's super normal to eat bugs, however, in most Western societies, just the thought of having creepy crawlies on your plate gives people the heebie-jeebies. But if you didn't know you were eating bugs, would that make it better? Would the husky crunch of bug legs in your mouth be delicious or revolting? For a blind person, this is apparently a very real possibility.
