So much for the sentiment behind “it takes a village to raise a child"! That's definitely not the thinking at this person's workplace, and it's created an awkward situation between her, a coworker, and that coworker's child . In general, if there are a bunch of adults and a young child, it falls on everyone to look out for that kid . This makes sense for newborns, who have constant needs, and toddlers, who are constantly putting themselves in harm's way. But the older the kid gets, the murkier…

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…

Sitting down during a work shift is necessary… who could possibly stand for 8 to 12 hours at a time? It seems out of this world to expect that from your employees, but this boss lived in this la la land where they thought that sitting down meant employees weren't being productive… even when they were proved otherwise when presented with the metrics. But hey, you don't know how to manage, you lose employees, right? And that is exactly what happened. Some bosses really dig their own graves, and t…

Public spaces always give me the ick. There are too many people strutting about, scanning the busy streets for strangers to tell their woes to.

Maybe I have a wholesome, 'Please approach me and tell me your life story' face, or maybe these people just take a random pick from the…

Before working from home and outfitting a workstation in my living room, I never realized how expensive desk chairs could be. After being initially shocked by the multitude of chairs online that cost $1,000+ for an 'ergonomic design', it made me question how important it was to be comfortable for 8 hours a day at my desk.

Everyone makes mistakes, barbers and hair stylists included. There are lots of jobs where mistakes are fine or even encouraged. Barbering is not one of those jobs. Hair stylists have the important role of helping you find the look that will suit you best and leave you happy and confident in your looks. It's easy to tell the difference when your hair has been butchered. People give you weird looks, compared to getting lots of compliments when you've had a good haircut . Sure, hair grows back if…

What in the world were they thinking when they designed this stuff?

Good ol' neighbor drama.

Ah, so majestic.

Are you sitting down?
