Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the pettiest things that adults did to kids. You better not get any dang ideas. And if you do just remember that there will be a spiteful little cretin full of devilish persuasion ready to act on your antics. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the kinds of terribly petty curses that people would cast on their archenemies. People got wildly inventive with their curses. Just picturing what life would be like if there was always a wet spot on one of your socks, or it always felt like there was an eyelash stuck to your eye is enough to get one's heart racing. If anything it's lists like these that can manage to make us grateful for all the fleeting pleasures and periods of general comfortability that we otherwise take for granted. 

It's nothing short of a miracle that these people were able to weasel their way into getting jobs in the first place. You've got the dude with the next level situational awareness, who decided it'd be a good move to light up a smoke next to a bunch of hay. Or you've got the other prime job candidate who was hired, and then proceeded to just never show up. It's as if some people get hired just to see how long it'll take them to get fired. Try hard enough, and it really won't take too much time to get canned at all. 

Check out another entertaining AskReddit thread that's about the ways workers got their bosses fired.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck drivers' creepiest experiences from their time out on the road. Turns out if you spend enough time out on the road, you're bound to encounter some especially spooky phenomenon. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the best riddles that people have ever stumbled across. At the very least this collection of prime riddles will keep your brain occupied, distracted from the present dystopian world that we all find ourselves muddling through. Just take deep breaths and approach each riddle with the patience that they require. Frustration can be a blinding thing. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the people that genuinely love their jobs. As it turns out, some folks are actually lucky enough to find themselves with a career opportunity that doesn't feel like work at all. It can be done. And if you ever find yourself in that kind of position, just hold on for dear life. And if you're not, maybe some of these gigs will give you new ideas about a career shift. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the fastest times that people's new co-workers were fired from their jobs. If anything, it's just surprising that these people were able to get their jobs in the first place. You never know what kinds of red flags people might be hiding before you hire them on. Yikes. Makes us think of the recent story about a nightmare Karen employee who got fired, and used the same employer as a reference.

Never underestimate the kinds of petty lengths people will go to in the workplace environment to make their power known, or get back at a particularly insufferable coworker. This collection of petty power moves are as impressive as they are just terribly petty. 

Someone on AskReddit fired up a thread about people's wildest thrift store finds. Anyone who has ever muddled through the maze of a thrift store knows that those kinds of places can be filled to the brim with unanticipated treasures. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most ridiculous cases of wealthy being out of touch that they've ever seen. Some people's wallets are so dang dense with the funds that they just seem to move through life operating by a different set of rules. Or they don't even bother considering the rules that the rest of society plays by. 

Man oh man, this AskReddit thread is just in time for spooky season. It's all about the creepiest experiences that midnight shift workers have had while on the job. Let's just say that it's threads like these that lead us to believe that there's a whole lot more scary stuff going on in the world than we'll ever fully grasp.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the craziest things that people have slept through. Many of us have known (or are that person ourselves) someone who has an uncanny knack for being able to drift off to the dreamland, and remain there, through moments of absolute chaos. Could be sleeping through multiple fire alarms, or maybe something like remaining unstirred when a literal lightning bolt strikes the airplane. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most mindless things that people have ever witnessed out in the world. The thread was inspired by the late George Carlin's infamous quote about how when you meet someone seemingly stupid, there's also another person out there that's going to be twice as dumb as they are. Just considering that, it's no wonder that the kinds of occurrences in this thread are taking place in the world. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various downsides of being an adult that teenagers don't realize. It's funny, when we're younger we can give ourselves over to this notion that when we grow up everything's going to be a whole lot better; but then you get there, and it's just a new world of unforeseen responsibilities. Suddenly, you find yourself craving the days of your youth when all you had to worry about was getting to bed at a reasonable time for school the next morning. If that. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various things that grew classier over time. Definitely had no idea that lobsters were commonly fed to prisoners back in the day, and had a reputation for being the cockroaches of the sea. 

Someone on AskReddit fired up a thread about people's favorite polite insults. Some of these might be familiar. They're the kind of insults that don't come out blatantly swinging, but more so go for the subtle sting.
