It's been a long day, and it's only the beginning of the week. There's no way bosses can expect their employees to maintain undivided attention all day long while still expecting them to produce top-notch work. Everyone needs a break once in a while. Whether you're having lunch in the break room, hiding in the bathroom, or tucked away in your cubicle, you need to recharge to get through the rest of the day. So why not recharge in the best way possible? Take a little meme break.

When you're working in fast food, not a day goes by without some kind of customer shenanigans . You can head into work in the most peaceful mood, ready to do your best and provide quality customer service, and yet by the end of your shift, the customers will have sapped all of your patience. That's because a lot of fast food customers have the attitude that their order is the most important thing in the whole world. I know, they're hungry, but it's more than hunger: entitlement will have them g…

Every workplace has that one person who's a stickler for the rules and can take the fun out of any situation. Up next, these home installation workers have seen a thing or two during house visits, like one person who was surprised when “A chicken walks out of the back room.”

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.

So many pranks and so little time. Having an office full of good-natured coworkers who can take a joke makes the work week fly by. Some workplaces prank each other more than others, though, like the employees of u/Apatheric_Anger's place of employment. They wrote that since the pay was low, morale was raised every time someone played a prank. I'm sure that pranking higher-ups was especially common in an atmosphere like that. The employee writes that “few were immune to pranks." Next up, tweets…

Sorry boss, the damage is done.

Pallets may be heavy, but so is the weight of anti-authority malicious compliance

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…

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

Home is where the heart is, and it's also where all of your strangest belongings remain. No one knows this better than folks who have jobs that require them to randomly step foot inside people's homes , often with very little warning. Say, for example, a plumber. Maybe your shower isn't draining or your toilet just won't work. You have to call the plumber, and there's usually a set timeframe during which they'll show up to solve your issues. But for some reason, people won't clean up their home…

Customers want to think they're always right, but cashiers and retail workers know the truth. A lot of the time, the customer is just wrong. And nobody wants to be confronted with the fact that they've just thrown a petty fit over a minor issue , only to be proven totally wrong. Throwing a tantrum rarely solves your problems if you're older than five years old. When adults do it, it's majorly embarrassing. It gives us second-hand cringe to watch people get red in the face over minor issues, lik…

When you work an hourly job, you typically submit your availability before you are hired, especially if it's a part-time gig. So when the manager creates the weekly schedules, you assume your shifts are going to fall under what you listed your availability as. Well, in this employee's case, as well as several other employees who chimed in the comment section, that is not always the case. It seems some managers take your availability as a 'suggestion' and schedule their employees for whatever ti…

As soon as summer arrives, every office out there starts to deal with conflicts among employees regarding the AC. There is always that one coworker who wants the office to be freezing even when everyone else's teeth are chattering, and that battle continues up until the AC remote mysteriously vanishes and is nowhere to be found. As much as this battle can be quite annoying, and can cause certain coworkers to silently curse that one individual who insists the office's temperature would not rise…

Greedy companies are gonna greedy, but karma still gonna karma.

This person found out how important they were at their job , just hours before leaving forever. Giving your employer two week's notice before you leave the job is standard. U/balles_de_acier actually gave their employer three weeks of notice , which was generous of them. That's plenty of time to seek out a new addition to the office, get them started at the job, and the old employee would even have time to show them the ropes. The more difficult route would be waiting until that original employ…
