There's a special satisfaction that comes with finding a successful loophole to get around a silly workplace policy. Especially when it comes to getting paid fairly for all the work you do. Now, you know that nurses have to put up with a ton of nonsense on the job that makes saving lives more challenging than it already must be. However, this bureaucratic silliness sounds like way too much. This Redditor shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, which detai…

Everyone has standards, but sometimes you have to be willing to forgo them. If you're in a desperate situation, it's not the time to start making demands, nor is it the time to be difficult. If you're having trouble getting what you need, there is a good chance that the situation boils down to you being the problem (as Taylor Swift would say). Recently, I found myself needing to travel to another state for a wedding but not being able to afford the astronomical flight prices. I found myself des…

Public transit is interesting in the U.S. The employees and patrons are both colorful and it's either peaceful and quite or something crazy going down. No in-between. It's like the scene in Superbad when they get on the bus and the houseless guy is there and he calls out “McMuffin” and things go down and the driver has to stop and kick them off. That's a pretty accurate portrayal of most public transit rides in the U.S. One public transit patron in Rhode Island shared a story that was short, ye…

Sure, the best payback is to live happily, but sometimes, in order to do that, you need to care of a few other things first. Now, I have never personally been cheated on (to my knowledge), but I know that if that were to happen to me, I would get petty really quickly. What can I say? I'm a Scorpio; it's in my nature. Now, based on the responses to the following r/AskReddit thread, there were plenty of wholesome comments about how futile being petty is, and that very well may be true. But this l…

Every roommate relationship requires a constant reestablishing of boundaries. However, no matter what you do to rectify whatever problems you and your roommate are having, there are some people out there who simply don't get it. These special individuals have no concept of boundaries, space, and mutual respect. Furthermore, there's an even more dangerous combination out there, which is the occasional scenario when this kind of roommate also just so happens to be a pathological liar. This means…

The boundary between you and your neighbor is sacred. Whether you have a fence, hedges, a wall, or just a plain ol' property line, the duty of every neighbor is to respect and cherish the space in between. In a country ridden with kitschy ‘no trespassing’ signs that say "We don't call 911”, we take those boundaries pretty seriously– even in the suburbs, a place known for over-trimmed rose bushes, nosy HOA's, and passive aggression, neighborly feuds can arise quickly when the line is crossed...

Two can play this game.

When numerous employees leave a company in a short amount of time, you would think the boss would decide to start being nice. Unfortunately, that would require having faith that bosses had enough self-awareness to know that they might be part of the problem. It goes back to the classic “if everyone else is crazy, you're the one who is insane” saying. But of course, we cannot expect the horrible bosses of the world to wake up from their deluded simulation of reality and realize that their experi…

Have you ever daydreamed about a grand wedding, without the hefty price tag? Well, don't we all? It turns out some people actually have the audacity to ask their guests to foot the bill for their big day. And not just the usual gifts, but the whole shebang: venue, food, drinks, cake, flowers, entertainment, etc. How do they do it? By sending out invitations that look like invoices, demanding a minimum amount of money per person, AFTER the guest RSVP's ‘yes’. Sounds crazy, right? But it's true.…

Planning a vacation with your significant other is the first big step in any romantic relationship because it sets up your vacation expectations for the rest of your life. So what are you supposed to do if you accidentally married a total dud who can't help plan your next dream vacation? Well, go solo of course.

According to the Feds, employees are only allowed to get sick 3 days out of the year. At least, PTO and sick leave is intentionally convoluted and in America, some people actually feel guilty taking sick days (even when they ARE sick) because they have that vacation to Bermuda later in the year that they're saving those days for. But doesn't that defeat the purpose of a sick day? We should just call it what it really is: Floater days where you're paid to not work.

Who knew that a simple prank gone wrong would ignite a long-lasting family feud? Let's be real: the most annoying kind of child is the kid who likes to pull pranks. The original poster of this epic Reddit saga, which was initially shared on the r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, knew that his nieces and nephews all fell into that category. Perhaps because he didn't have children himself, he could see these kids for who they really are. In this scenario, at a family gathering, the kids banded together a…

There will always be people in this world who confuse you providing a contracted service for them with you being their full-time employee. What does this phenomenon boil down to at the end of the day? Well, folks, the answer to that is totally pure entitlement. That's what this vacation family of 18 had, specifically the two grandmother Karens who were communicating with this Redditor, who shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. OP had a side hustle running hot…

It there is one place int he world that tends to be an accidental beacon to Karens, it's Walmart. Who knows what part of that mega store screams “entitlement welcome," but somehow it does. You'd think since most of their employees are either young kids/ adults or retired senior citizens forced back into the workforce that the patrons there would be a little more empathetic, but nope. Karens thrive in this establishment. However, the younger generation is starting to not give any Fs and standing…

Most managers with an authority complex end up flexing their muscles when they absolutely have other tasks they should be prioritizing. Perhaps they understand that truth deep down, and as their coping mechanism, it's far easier for them to assert dominance over their employees rather than focus on what they're doing wrong as bosses and why things aren't running smoothly. That is certainly the case with this manager, who decided to cut an employee's hours significantly as a semi-punishment for…

When employees are struggling to get a raise, fighting for overtime pay, nitpicking for a day more of PTO, it really grinds their gears when the out of touch boss asks THEM for money. However, as we all know, the audacity of C-level management and supervisors knows no bounds.
