There was a certain point in time in the not-so-distant past when plenty of people had never encountered a “Personal Computer” before—a time when listing your basic typing and computer skills on a CV would make you a strong candidate for a varying degree of roles.

If you've ever watched someone on a computer open a new window and slowly type “google.com”, these stories are for you.

The word is on the tip of your tongue , but you just can't quite remember it… It's a universal experience in this human life of ours. To err is human, and to forget words and make up something silly is funny. Parents do this all the time. Your parent will look at you, name all your siblings and forget your name, and then finally just give up and say, “You, that one. Don't forget your lunch.” Though parents have mastered the art of misspeaking, they aren't the only ones who remix words to their…

Retail workers could tell you a story or two about their most memorable customers . As a cashier, you may serve hundreds of people each day, so when someone throws a huge fit or is especially impolite, it sticks with you. Whether you're working in a clothing store or a popular spot in the mall or a fast food restaurant, you're bound to get some odd customers. Usually, customers ask the same few questions over and over. But there are exceptions. For example, one person shared that they had a cus…

All of us have that one story about the funniest thing we've ever witnessed. It's that one tale that your friend group can tell over and over, since it brings everyone to tears of laughter with every repeated telling. Often, the story involves someone in the friend group falling or making a fool of themselves in some other goofy way. The good people of the r/AskReddit community told their own stories about the funniest things they've personally witnessed, and it's impossible to read them withou…

People get divorced for all kinds of reasons. They fall out of love, they can't stand their in-laws, they have dissimilar parenting styles, one hates blueberries and the other likes them. Oh wait, that last one was… quite petty. What are the most entertaining but petty reasons people get a divorce? Well, you'll find out once you scroll down and read this oh-so-bitter (but funny) thread about married people who were done with their spouses. For the weirdest reasons. I know people who got divorce…

The clock strikes 5, and you zoom out of the office. You don't even look back when your boss yells out sheepishly, ‘Wait, are you leaving?’. Yes, you're leaving! Right this instant, actually. Every day in the office feels like stepping into a weird, alternate dimension. The fluorescent lights flicker ominously as you shuffle past coworkers, half expecting your awkward boss to greet you dressed in royal garments. He is quite the character. Some might compare him to Michael Scott from the Office.…

People tend to have some patience for the new person, but there are a few things they can do that will get them fired ASAP. In fact, if you were looking for ways to get out of a job the fastest, this is a great list of ideas. When a coworker gets fired, word spreads like wildfire. It quickly becomes the water cooler gossip of the day. The crazier the offense, the better the story is! After all, you have to be doing something majorly wrong if you're fired within hours of signing your onboarding…

It doesn't take much to realize you don't want to work somewhere. It could be that their lack of morals is obvious from the moment you start your first shift. Or maybe you're lucky and figure it out beforehand, during the interview process. You think, ‘Nope, this is not for me’, and either don't continue, or immediately quit. Back when I was working as a waitress, I did a couple of shifts at different places. Once, I interviewed at a fast food restaurant chain where the employees looked (surpri…

If you ever wanted to know what a day in the life of an influencer is like, let us clue you in. Thanks to one person's question to r/AskReddit, more than 1,000 friends and spouses of influencers told their tales of what it's like. A lot of it depends on how many followers the person has. For influencers with hundreds of thousands, it can take over their whole life. Some people shared that they got tired of having to wait for every meal to be photographed, and every party documented in great det…

Imagine getting the jitters as you show up to a job interview , only for the interviewer to barely ask you any questions about yourself. Or imagine if you arrived ready to explain your qualifications, but then the hiring manager decided to blabber on about his wife's career, and how you'd be better at her job instead! It sounds crazy, but a lot of people have had incredibly bad job interviews that let them know almost immediately that these roles weren't right for them. Some of them walked out,…

These people couldn't believe what they were hearing when their bosses told them they were fired . That's because these workers were let go for some pretty off-the-wall reasons. The usual reasons people are fired are things like repeated latenesses, complaints from customers, talking back to management, or being put on a PIP (performance improvement plan) without improving. Most companies try to avoid firing people if possible, but sometimes it's avoidable. At least you're not the person who go…

Face palm

If you think your boss is goofy, just wait until you hear about how other peoples' bosses act.

No matter how patient someone is, everyone has their breaking point. Most people who quit a job on the spot don't quit because of an isolated incident. Instead, a lot of people can only handle customers complaining to their faces so many times. You can only work so many tables that tip zero dollars before you start to lose your marbles. There are only so many times a Karen customer can confront you about prices that aren't in your control before you start to daydream about unemployment. These k…

Well this is awkward
