This retail merchandiser fell right into her manager's trap. No matter how hardworking an employee is, it just won't be enough for some bosses. But that won't stop that boss from trying to work that employee to the bone anyway! When you're trying your hardest at work, it's tempting to take both successes and failures personally. You want to do your best, and if your manager criticizes you, it can sting. This manager realized that he could push this retail merchandiser to take on way, way more t…

There's nothing like a nice, peaceful drive on the road being upended by another annoying, entitled driver who thinks that their busy schedule is more significant than everyone else's. It's these unique individuals that can make one of the more solitary and restful activities for some folks unbearable. Personally speaking, I am not one of the individuals who thinks driving is a peaceful activity, nor am I one of the individuals who enjoys engaging in aggressive behavior on the road. My conflict…

This guy went into full “the customer is always right" mode. And that was to his own detriment! Next, this place rented equipment out for events, but they suddenly realized that the software they used was double-booking almost every event !

Regardless of whether or not you have a car, driving with a carpool to work can be a very positive experience. First, you can save time by using the carpool lane, not to mention it is much better for the environment. Second, you can save a lot of money by not paying for gas alone. But perhaps the most positive thing you can get out of carpool is the company. It is greatly beneficial to have someone to talk to, gossip about topics you can't discuss in the office, and simply bond beyond the work…

These workers had a fun “moment of brilliance” while still following their boss's directions.

Nobody knows how many things need to go into consideration when buying a new car before they actually have to do it themselves for the first time. It is not only about the miles and the price, and it's not even about what brand and model it is, there is so much more you have to consider before you make a purchase. For example – Getting the car inspected. Before you buy your first car, most people will tell you that you shouldn't rely on the inspection your car dealership performs and that you s…

Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could pa…

A couple of corporate bigwigs have gotten into the habit of only speaking to each other through their secretary. Their secretary isn't even supposed to have that job… they've just gotten themselves intertwined in the workplace drama between their different bosses. Up next, these HOAs have some really ridiculous rules that have tenants rolling their eyes, like one person who was informed, “ Your mailbox isn't shiny enough ."

All of these DIY projects started with the best intentions! A person saw a problem or felt inspired, and started their craft. Too bad that doing a DIY project isn't always as easy as it looks. No matter how well you follow that YouTube video or set of directions, some things need to be left to the pros. While I'm a big fan of the Spaghetti-O Furby and other art projects , it's harder to love all of the wild car DIYs (as you can see below). For example, one person built a fan into the roof of th…

Never underestimate bored teenagers with nothing to do except for causing trouble. There is an argument to be made that this age is perhaps the most excruciating age of humans. While we can attempt to avoid interacting with the “youth” as much as possible, sometimes we have no other choice but to confront them Here, we have a driver who was pulling into the one empty space in a busy parking lot by a popular pizza chain. The only thing stopping the driver from completing his parking job was a gr…

There is nothing more frustrating than being told something is fixed when you know in your soul that it is still not working. Most of the time, when this happens, the item that's malfunctioning is minor, such as a sink faucet. In this case, however, we're talking about someone's car. This customer kept trying to get his vehicle fixed because he was consistently receiving error messages. After dropping $2,000 to get it repaired, he retrieved his vehicle and was specifically told that everything…

This 1965 Ford Mustang may never drive, but it's my passion project

Nothing frustrates people more than someone else's bad parking job. It's the kind of inconvenience that will make a shy, non-confrontational person snap and become a Karen. It also might be the kind of rare inconvenience that makes a Karen justified in their frustrations. Now, as someone who is admittedly a bad driver, I can understand how a poor parking job happens. That being said, I would never take up two parking spots and just leave it like that. My people-pleasing self would take as much…

Sometimes, karma takes a while to come back with a vengeance, but other times, she chooses to show up just when she needs to… Here, we have a male Karen driver in a quiet suburb who could not stand the fact that road work was being done and was creating a minor traffic jam. A resident of the neighborhood explained that while the road work was minimal, there was a ditch in the area that could easily be avoided if cars were moving slowly and carefully enough… hence, the minor traffic jam. When th…

This call center worker is fed up. You can just tell that they've absolutely had enough of their job by the way they're talking to customers. Although this story doesn't come from the r/AmItheA****** subreddit, people on the interwebs had some strong opinions about this story. U/tharealmouse shared a tale that happened while they were working at a call center and had to deal with an impolite customer. Why was that customer not being polite? She didn't want to talk to someone on the phone (under…

This dude decided to buy a car part used, but it seems like he has zero idea what he's actually doing. Getting used car parts from a junkyard or an auto salvage can be a great way to save a few dollars. A lot of car enthusiasts do this routinely to save money. Next up, these employees shared the biggest, most outrageous mistakes they've ever made in the workplace, like one person who mixed some cleaning chemicals togehter, meaning “[We] had to evacuate the restaurant .”
