Woman files HR complaint, alleging racial discrimination after coworker refuses to swap lunches

'Give me your lunch! Or else!': Woman files HR complaint, alleging racial discrimination after coworker refuses to swap lunches

In the cutthroat world of office politics, where the water cooler gossip flows as freely as the coffee, one woman found herself at the center of an absurd controversy. Meet our protagonist, a passionate home chef with a knack for whipping up delectable dishes from scratch. When asked about her daily lunch, she'd occasionally share with coworkers, but always on her own terms. One fateful day, a coworker made an offer she couldn't refuse: a baloney and mayonnaise sandwich in exchange for her cove…

'I AM NOT paying those kinds of prices!': Top Choosing Beggars of the Week (September 23, 2023)

Everyone has standards, but sometimes you have to be willing to forgo them. If you're in a desperate situation, it's not the time to start making demands, nor is it the time to be difficult. If you're having trouble getting what you need, there is a good chance that the situation boils down to you being the problem (as Taylor Swift would say). Recently, I found myself needing to travel to another state for a wedding but not being able to afford the astronomical flight prices. I found myself des…

'Three cop cars pulled in and surrounded them': Cheap couple gets cops called on them for refusing to pay for a $9 salad bar

How much trouble is it worth going through to avoid paying for a couple of leaves of lettuce? Is it worth a run-in with the police that could possibly see you arrested and sent to prison, all because you didn't want to pay $9 for your salad after complaining about the toughness of your steak? From there, you'll be forced to plan a daring means of escape. By day, you'll see yourself unwittingly participating in and then dismantling the operations of the corrupt warden running the prison while sp…

'Get me what I am entitled to or I will do it myself': Law school stops representing tenant who demands 2 free months of rent, flips out on 'totally useless' volunteer legal rep

This choosing beggar finally got what she asked for. As a student, u/Zelmung got some real-world experience at their law school's student program. The OP shares that the service offered people free legal advice, while the student volunteers helped guide their clients through the process. That is a win-win — people in need can find resources, and students can gain insight into the logistics of a case. But as the OP found out, you can't pick your clients. They need help, and they come to the law…

'I want you to give it to me': Top Choosing Beggars of the Week (August 23, 2023)

One of these days, it'd be nice to step into the shoes of a real-life choosing beggar. Before you judge me, hear me out. As someone with very little audacity, it would be a fulfilling experience just to walk in someone else's shoes for a day and feel entitled to everything I wanted. I'm not saying I'd like to live like this for the rest of my life. If I did, I'd probably end up alone, embittered, and with no friends. However, just for a day, I want to know what it's like to walk into a room and…

'That weekend [...] doubles as our vacation': Bridesmaid wants to bring her boyfriend to bachelorette party at bride's sister's expense

Ladies… leave the fellas at home—really. And this statement applies to anyone prone to bringing their partners to traditionally spouseless events. It doesn't matter if you're attached at the hip for every waking moment of your life; otherwise, when it comes to something like a bachelor or bachelorette party, your spouse should not be involved. Leave the ol' boy at home and go have a night out on the town with the girls. This really shouldn't be a conversation in the first place, but—if it comes…

There's nothing more blood boiling than when you go out of your way to do a favor for someone only for them to have the audacity to correct you—even ridicule you—over how it was done. Somehow, a simple thanks for act in itself isn't enough, and some complex ego jiu-jitsu leads them to feel it necessary to belittle you and your act of service in order to bring themselves back up to being “better than” you in their own minds. Anyone who thinks or acts like this should just do it themselves or pay…

'AITA for choosing our family dog over a friend hard on his luck?': Choosing beggar friend asks for a place to stay, demands family get rid of their dog first

Beggars shouldn't be choosers—and when you find yourself down on your luck or in a desperate situation, you probably shouldn't be making demands about how those who are willing to offer you support provide that support. There is nothing in this world more wholesome than receiving support from friends, family–even complete strangers—in a desperate time of need. A selfless act of support, willingly given, says more than words ever could and is often essential for making sure that you come out the…

The queue is a foundational structure of society. First come, first served—it's as simple as that. This serves as a great equalizer of man. Every person's status is one and the same when they are in the queue—all are equals and must wait their turn. If you refuse to wait your turn, you'll be That's all well and good, except people with status, particularly entitled people with status, keep looking for loopholes to avoid waiting in the queue like everyone else because they think they're better t…

'The least you can do is get me... a small bottle of Chanel No. 5': Top 20 Choosing Beggars of the Week (June 14, 2023)

These people are ready to haggle themselves the best possible deal. These “ choosing beggars ” are among the funniest this week. People from all over post their random sightings of people who need things, but really don't want to pay much for them, and also, they don't want to put much effort into getting these things. Some people really have the audacity to ask others to do chores for them — like removing a lengthy fence — and then want to be paid so that the buyer can take the scraps, which i…
