Listen, I just think you should be able to take a drive-thru order in whichever voice you feel like. The employees at fast food restaurants get super unbelievably bored of saying the same, “Hi, how can I help you?” phrase over and over. After you say it dozens of times per day, you start to hate the phrase. Why not change it up a little? One person replying to this hilarious thread did just that, but sadly, they got canned for their creativity.

Some days at work are more memorable than others. Just think about it: there are probably hundreds of days of work, or life in general, that pass by mundanely, never to be remembered again. The human brain just isn't meant to remember every second of every day. But those memorable days at work can really stick with you! The 1,000+ people replying to this person's r/AskReddit question had a few memorably weird work days to share, ranging from oddities to entire days that were completely derailed…

Bosses can ask their employees to do the most ridiculous things, even when it falls outside of their job description. A lot of job descriptions will list out all of the daily tasks the employee is expected to do. Then, there will be a line that says something like, “Additional tasks as needed.” That leaves a lot of room for a manager to request help with things that their employees really shouldn't be doing, but will be strong-armed into doing anyway. The people answering u/thekutsi's questions…

These people have a story or two they could tell you about their wackiest neighbors . You never really know a person until you live with them. The same goes for neighbors: you get to know them the longer you live around them. You start to learn what time they leave for work each day, you hear their parties or squabbles with their spouses, and you'll certainly start to recognize the signs of weird habits. Some people seem to love starting drama with their neighbors . There are a lot of folks who…

Tell us if you dare… what's the most purely petty thing you've ever done? Nearly one thousand members of the r/AskReddit community had some exceptional stories to share. From bad bosses to noisy neighbors to impolite customers , these people have gotten their well-deserved payback. As mentioned in the title here, one particularly petty story involves a couple going through a contentious split. The husband snuck over to his ex-wife's home in the middle of the night, armed with a shovel, and dug…

Don't get mad, get even! That's clearly the motto of these folks, who were able to whip out some hilarious zingers on the spot. Some folks are just naturally hilarious. They can turn any conversation into a laugh riot, and the more you hang around with them, the more you pick up on their sense of humor. Up next, this person's dad really dislikes his brother, and he chose the worst time possible (the middle of a wedding!) to make an “extremely embarrassing announcement” about his own kid.

When people get tattoos , they often consider what they love and cherish, and avoid thinking about the opinions of others. That's all well and good; if an art piece is forever inked onto your body, you should love it with all your heart. But there's an asterisk here: you should love it, because people are going to ask about it constantly. If you have a name, people will ask who that is. If you have a symbol or a little animal, people will ask what that means. It's the kind of experience you won…

These people are just out here living with their incorrect assumptions about life. Someone jokingly tells you something one time, and if it's not corrected, you just mistakenly believe this thing for years until someone corrects you! The people answering u/ButterflyOverkill's question know a person or two who's exactly like that. This person asked people to spill the “most ridiculous thing you've heard someone say that they were 100% serious about.” Judging from the more than 4,800 people who r…

Getting fired within your first week or two of starting a new gig takes effort. You have to be so wildly unfit for the role that no one will take the chance to train you. There are a few thousand people who witnessed some of the worst first days of work ever , and they're telling the stories in the r/AskReddit community. Up next, these people have some interesting dating preferences, like one person who insists, “ Their date must have the same brand of toothpaste preference .”

Bad neighbors will go to great lengths to make your life difficult.

Customer service workers , you're doing the world a favor every time you politely answer the silliest question you've ever heard. They won't train you for this in most customer-facing roles. You think that customers will more or less know what's going on… but that's not the case. In fact, it seems like many jobs just require the worker to answer the same customer questions over and over and over. Some customers are special, though. They're so confused that their questions make the workers pause…

When it comes to the pizza delivery driver who was fired because he couldn't find the house and just ate their pizza order instead… I understand where he's coming from. I'm not saying he did the right thing, because there's a family out there who ordered pizza and didn't get it. I just think he's relatable: it's hard to follow directions sometimes, and it's easy to get lost, and well, pizza is tasty. He probably got paid for one shift, and got to eat a free pizza in the meantime. He's an agent…

One person realized their spouse wasn't that bright when they declared, “I thought we could just buy tickets at the airport on the day we leave.” Their spouse literally thought that showing up at the airport, bag in hand, with no ticket, would still get them on a plane with any certainty. Only if they're lucky would they wind up on an aircraft! And that person isn't the only one who's been a bit surprised at their significant other's intelligence deficits… At least 14,000 people had stories to…

If you've been the victim of your older sibling telling you a falsehood you believed for decades, you may be entitled to compensation. Surely these people must've had that experience, since a lot of them grew up believing things like “horses lay eggs” or “stare into the sun." If not for an older sibling messing with their head, maybe some people just didn't pay attention in school, or were misled by some kind of movie or TV show. There are clearly lots of reasons why someone might not be knowle…

Getting hired is one thing, but holding onto the position is quite another. Essentially, the hiring manager uses the data you supply and references from reputable companies to showcase your qualifications and elevate you during the interview process. But now that you have the job you've been wanting, it is up to you to demonstrate your suitability and back up your application. Having said that, I came across a captivating post on Reddit while scrolling through the feed that drew my attention ri…

Your priorities should always be centered around your family. You ought to go above and beyond to ensure the happiness of your loved ones. But what would you do if your family openly disregarded your field of employment and treated you like an unnecessary burden? Would you still treat them with the highest regard? The story below is an account of a frustrated cousin. The original poster (OP) volunteered to be the photographer for his cousin's wedding. He felt obligated to help the couple in any…
