Servers have to deal with it all. Mainly irritated customers. Whether it's dinner rush, the kitchen is backed up, or you are dealing with a Karen customer, you have to know how to maintain your composure, even in the most ridiculous of situations. In this story, a server is dealing with an impatient customer who wants more ranch (why is it always ranch?). The server heard his request the first time but still had multiple other tables to check on. She had a system going, and she'd get the impa...

This manager has some audacity for placing blame on their employee!

This Karen has never heard the word “no,” and apparently, neither has her son. it turns out that the most dangerous part about the Karens of the world is that there is a high likelihood that they will pass their toxic traits to their children. What this essentially means is that where there is a Karen parent, there is likely a Karen child ready to keep that entitled behavior going until they themselves have kids. So on and so forth. The dynasty of Karens will seemingly never end. Here, we have…

The grass always seems greener on the other side. But the truth is, that's not always the case. Sometimes, we can be going through a tough time at work and find ourselves questioning if this is really the right industry for us. When we're young, we're told we can be anything we want, and there are so many professions out there that sound interesting—doctors, vets, teachers, chefs, etc. But then, once you get into the field, it's not as glorious as you were hoping.

Don't mess with your neighbor's hobbies. For most of us, our after-work hobbies are the things that keep us going week-over-week, so when this entitled mother decided to make her familial problems into the entire neighborhood's problem, one man had to push back.

Office romances almost never work out, but this one really went haywire. This Redditor admits that she should never have gotten into a relationship with this guy, but she was naive at the time and new to the workforce. When she and her then-boyfriend started dating, they seemed to create a healthy work-life balance until she was promoted and transferred to a different city. Let's just say that long distance did not exactly work out. In fact, this dude tried to ghost the Redditor, which proved t…

Sorry boss, the damage is done.

Seriously, every week? This guy is having the annoying issue of his neighbor's landscaper blocking his driveway every single week. His neighbor across the street has his lawn serviced every Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m., and without fail, the landscaper's truck is right in the way, blocking anyone from exiting the driveway. It is even more infuriating because this man leaves about that time every day to take his children to daycare. So he begrudgingly has to track down the owner of the truck,…

All this teenager wanted for her high school graduation was a family trip to Disneyland, but her older sister had other plans for her. Over the past several years, this Redditor found herself having to babysit her sister's kids every time she visited. The family trip to Disneyland was supposed to be her time with her parents doing one final semi-childish activity before going off to college in the fall. Well, her sister decided to crash her event with the kids. It immediately became clear that…

The first days of a new job are always the most stressful. You feel the constant need to prove to your manager that they made the right choice to hire you, even when you probably know nothing about the job and don't have anything to show for it yet. Which is why it is surprising that the one who feels the pressure is the new hire when the employer is the one who actually has a lot to prove. Having someone properly train a new employee to do the job right, is the real challenge, a challenge that…

Taking time off work simply should not feel like the stressful endeavor that it is. Since you're contractually entitled to that time, in theory, you should be able to submit your PTO request with no questions asked and no issues getting that request approved. Of course, in practice, it doesn't exactly work out that way. Instead, you end up getting a lot of shade and passive-aggressive behavior, as if you're actively inconveniencing everyone else by giving yourself the vacation you deserve. What…

The 'World's Worst Landlord' Award goes to...

There are certain people you never want to mess with: your barber, the lady at the Department of Motor Vehicles, whoever is cooking your food, and your tattoo artist. Obviously, the lattermost example does not apply to folks who don't want to get tattoos. However, for those who do, throwing a temper tantrum at the person who is about to imprint a permanent design on your body is not the wisest idea. Thankfully, this guy didn't get that kind of petty revenge. Instead, he simply threw this male K…

We all know the famous phrase - “Money can't buy happiness”, and we all surely felt like this statement could not be far from the truth. Many things that make a person happy require money, so it's hard not to look at money as the source of one's happiness and contentment in life. But there still is more to life than just making money. For example, if all you do is make money, and you have no free time to actually spend that money in ways that make you happy, then what is the point of all your h…

Never underestimate your employer's ability to let you down. Picture this: your annual review is coming up. You're coming on five years at a company without a meaningful promotion or raise despite always receiving encouraging and positive feedback. You have made it known over the past several months that you really would like something meaningful this time around. Finally, the day has arrived. You walk into the meeting and your boss immediately thanks you for all of your hard work. He says he h…

To savor the fleeting periods of freedom between, you hustle throughout the year. It's a vacation here, a vacation there that helps us get through the trials of life. What would you do, then, if your manager abruptly declared that you were no longer qualified for vacation time after you had scheduled time off? The story below is an account of frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) has been thinking about her family vacation for the last six months. But as the departure date drew nearer,…
