Who doesn't love to watch a clueless CEO make his own bed? This dude was severely underpaying his employees, so much so that the Redditor who recounted this story explained how little money she had to feed her kids that week. That's the only real reason she made the hour-long journey to a “required” company event in order to get free food for her husband and kids. Unfortunately for her and for all of her coworkers, the second half of that event was monopolized by a speech from their CEO about h…

Don't tell me what to do.

This neighbor is the ultimate male Karen, and probably the worst type of neighbor you could get stuck next to. The family that lives in the neighboring house went out of town for vacation for two weeks. Within that time, they made sure to have housesitters to keep an eye on things for them while they were away. Well, when one of the housesitters arrived, he immediately noticed something odd about the backyard.

This is not the first time a customer has refused to listen to reason, and it certainly won't be the last. We understand that people can be particular at restaurants due to dietary restrictions, but if your limitations permit you from the majority of the ingredients in a dish or on a restaurant's menu, it's probably easier for everyone involved if you simply order something more appropriate or to just go somewhere else. It's like that scene in the cinematic classic A Cinderella Story when a cus…

What are the professional rules on “take-backsies”?

Regardless of whether or not you have a car, driving with a carpool to work can be a very positive experience. First, you can save time by using the carpool lane, not to mention it is much better for the environment. Second, you can save a lot of money by not paying for gas alone. But perhaps the most positive thing you can get out of carpool is the company. It is greatly beneficial to have someone to talk to, gossip about topics you can't discuss in the office, and simply bond beyond the work…

This one goes out to all the folks who were picked on in school and who dreamed about the consequences for their high school nemeses. As some folks suggested in the comments section, perhaps this student took things a bit too far, buy I guess it goes to show that picking on other classmates is a dangerous game. One should never underestimate how they might get back to you, even if they are smaller and more shy. In this instance , the two students attended a school with a strict attendance polic…

Messing with a Karen is the kind of bold choice that is bound to have unforeseen consequences. These audacious folks are not the kinds of people to give up, admit wrongdoing, or go down without a fight. Here, we have a resident who never really had a problem with his neighbor until the fence surrounding his backyard suddenly collapsed. Following the incident, the resident could now see into his next-door neighbor's backyard and saw the piles and piles of heavy garbage that were at one point lin…

Being the nerdy kid in school had its pros and cons. It usually meant that you were smart, and did well in school. You actually enjoyed reading books and had no problem doing homework or studying for tests. Yet being the nerdy kid also meant that you weren't all that popular, and we all know how mean kids can get when they see something they don't like. Luckily, popularity in school doesn't really get you that far in life, but being smart and actually succeeding in school does, and this petty r…

What is going on inside managers' heads when they decide to create literal chaos for their employees for no apparent reason? Do they really think that firing employees and then refusing to hire replacements will help their business? And what do they end up doing after they fire everyone on their team and have no one to do the job? Those are questions I would love to ask the management in this Reddit story, as they fired the majority of their team and expected one employee to take on all the wor…

Be careful who you fire, people! This employee was singlehandedly responsible for the business of two major clients for his company, and when he was unceremoniously dismissed for no good reason, it backfired in a major way. First, the employee had become suspicious that his new manager had some personal connection to the higher-ups at the company after she was swiftly promoted despite not being capable enough to fulfill her prior responsibilities in any way. When morale tanked at the company, H…

This employee is living all of our worst nightmares. Let this be a lesson that if you want to vent about the company and specifically call out colleagues for their entitled behavior, you probably shouldn't do so over email . Have you ever been on an email thread with hundreds of people, and there's that one person who asks a question specifically directed at one person but hits reply all? You have to be brave to send out an email to that many people. I'll be sending an email to one person and s…

In the summer comes the dreaded heat—the kind of heat where you don't even want to step outside without fear of profusely sweating. No one likes that uncomfortable feeling, which is exactly why these parents chose to go and visit their son to escape the heat in their hometown. Their city was experiencing the kind of heat wave where, if you were lucky enough to have air conditioning, it could barely keep up. So, they chose to visit their son, where the temperatures were 15 to 20 degrees cooler.…

No vacation ends up going according to plan. Sometimes, what tarnishes the experience of a trip is completely out of your hands. Recently on a trip to London, my partner and I discovered while about to board our return flights that our flight was overbooked and our assigned seats were merely taken as a request. We ended up not getting seats on that flight and found ourselves temporarily stranded abroad at the end of what would have been the first trip of mine to go according to plan. We should…

Imagine being infuriated by a mystery person for years only to discover that this mystery person is also your boss. It's a bizarre coincidence that is both surprising and unsurprising, in this case, given this dude's temperament and behavior at work. Before we get into the employee's revenge, some backstory is necessary first. When the Redditor got their new phone, they immediately started getting a barrage of calls and messages from the phone's previous owner, who lived in the same town. He en…

We can all agree that no one likes making a trip to the emergency room. It's highly inconvenient, usually overcrowded, and let's not even get started on the cost. But what's almost just as bad as visiting the emergency room yourself would be the poor workers who have to deal with irritated patients all day long. They are already unhappy to be in your presence, not to mention they are in immense pain (I mean, they are in the emergency room, for crying out loud). And when you're in a lot of pain,…
