You gotta be careful with your words. No need to tell this dude's boss, who bamboozled himself with his own admission! Companies love to brag about their great vacation time packages while they're hiring you. A popular perk is “unlimited vacation time ,” but it's not as great as it seems. If you ask to take off three months for no reason, your boss still has to approve it, and they can easily just say no to your request. So unlimited vacation time has a huge asterisk next to it: unlimited so lo…

You'd think finding your seat on an airplane would be one of the easiest parts of the flight. Airlines are pretty specific about that. Unlike concerts or some movie theaters where you can sit in one general area, when you fly, you choose your own seat. For those who get plane-sick, there are window seats; for those who want to stretch their legs out and move around, there are aisle seats . No one wants the middle seats, naturally. You can't just waltz onto an aircraft and sit where ever you wan…

Rich people think they can buy the whole world– and sometimes they can afford it –but society doesn't always work like that. Although many 1%ers have gotten used to flexing their wealth in order to take leaps and bounds, while getting exactly what they want at warp speed, occasionally they get burned by the harsh reality of the word ‘no’. To the delight of us regular folks out there, a rich person's fall from graces can be extremely entertaining.

Realizing you and a friend are growing apart can be difficult to process. That's why u/IndependentLady22 took some time to write down her concerns about her BFF, who she's realizing she may have to leave in her past. Six years is a long time to be friends with someone. You get to know everything about each other's lives, friends, relationships, family, and even work drama. You probably have tons of memories together as you grow over time. Some friendships last forever… but others are only meant…

Restrictive policies are often written with a singular use case in mind, with the authoring manager's short-sighted and horse-blinded perspective generally resulting in the policy not being as cost-saving as intended in the first place and leaving ample opportunity for loopholes and malicious compliance.

Sometimes humans can be bros. It's not very often that we meet genuinely amazing strangers out in public, but sometimes, in the most wholesome moments, our faith in humanity is restored. Usually we don't expect those moments when we're anywhere near our local airport, but apparently people can surprise us.

Simple problems require simple solutions, and sometimes, that solution need not be any more complex than sitting on top of (or just beside) the problem. Some background knowledge for those unacquainted: the airline mentioned in the story does not have predetermined seats, and seats are determined like a massive game of musical chairs and are based on who can get to the seats first. Honestly, we have no idea who thought these free-for-alls were a good idea. It's crazy to think that something as…

Waiting around in the airport is a lot like getting stuck in purgatory. Time comes to a standstill, nobody makes eye contact with you, your body aches for no reason, and even if it's 7AM, someone's at the bar drinking a beer. And when you're waiting at your gate in your terminal, nothing matters except getting on your plane and heading to your destination– anything to get you out of this grey, timeless dump.

I don't know about you, but when I invite a friend or family member over, I don't sit down and tally up every dime they owe me when they leave. I mean, sure, if they go off on their own adventures or we split the dinner bill, that's all cool. But splitting the gas expenses for driving them around town? Is that even a thing? Well, that's exactly why this OP took to Reddit for some advice.

Traveling memes for workers who desperately need a vacation

This company was so confused about why their employee started racking up big bills . They should've known… it was their own policies that made him do it. Travelling in taxis has become a tad outdated in these times of ride-hail services that utilize apps. There's a reason, though, that we've switched over. If you use an app to call a car, you pay before the ride starts, and then tip your driver at the end. Even if the driver takes a different route or sits in traffic, your cost still stays the…

Even the most experienced traveler gets stressed out about a lot of things at the airport: boarding times, your luggage's weight, TSA scanners, and the classic worry of going to the wrong gate for your flight. These are all things that most people check (and re-check) diligently, that is, of course, unless you're a little too loosey-goosey at the luxury airport lounge.

You can hope for the best, but sometimes travel plans are just out of your control.

Throughout the course of the working week, you spend roughly 40 hours in the presence of your coworkers . This can be an incredible way to form tight bonds with other like-minded individuals. Throughout your adult life, it's more likely you'll make friends at work than from any other place, unsurprising given you're often spending more time with them than with your own family. But while you'll make some friends, it's more than likely that you'll be spending a lot of time with people who grind y…

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.

If you're travelling soon, we know a few destinations you can absolutely skip over . These tourists aren't holding back about some of the worst places they've ever visited. From England to France to the US of A, these travellers chose the wrong vacation spots and lived to regret it. While I've been to some of these places and enjoyed them anyway, there are some valid gripes included with the responses below. I completely agree with the person who was lamenting about taking photos in front of a…
