This boss was left with an embarrassing predicament, but he has no one to blame but himself. Employees who aren't hungry are better workers, that's just a fact . You probably know the feeling of skipping breakfast and feeling groggy all morning, only to wake up after your lunch break and power through the rest of your day. When you're hungry, you can get headaches or wooziness, which isn't going to help you focus on your work. If all you can do is daydream about hamburgers, you're not going to…

Stealing someone's lunch at work is one of the most obvious signs that some people really do never grow out of middle school behavior. Thankfully, this employee, who also happened to be a former chef, knew how to get even with the problematic coworker in his place of work. First of all, the former chef was, unfortunately, an easy target for the lunch thief, considering how elaborate and over-the-top their lunches tended to be. However, despite valid suspicions, the employee still had no officia…

Organizing a kid's birthday party is no easy feat. You have to cater to the desires of your child while also enforcing limits and boundaries so as to not spoil them. You have to be respectful of your guests' experience while balancing that with the experience of the birthday kid. It's a lot to manage, and not everyone is up to the challenge. This Redditor's coworker was planning a birthday party for his daughter, only to discover from the school that there was a new policy requiring parents to…

Become unSUITable

Office drama really hits differently when it's the new hire stirring the pot. In this story, we've got a pretentious new hire who thinks the world revolves around her . And when it doesn't, she makes sure everyone hears about it. She asked a coworker to ride with her to a celebratory work dinner because, apparently, driving alone is just too much for her. (It makes you wonder how she manages to commute every day, doesn't it?) The coworker, who already had plans to ride with someone else, polite…

A dress code? At work? Y'all are lucky I'm even here.

Karma always finds those who deserve it.

Try as he might, this boss isn't going to get his former employee to budge an inch. It's not like he has much leverage: he wants her to work for free! Up next, read about the outrageous reasons people divorced their spouses, like one person who “divorced his wife… because she would sleep with a nightlight .”

Every restaurant worker has at least one customer interaction that they'll never be able to get out of their head. Some are positive interactions, like having a regular who overtips, or a customer who goes out of their way to tell their manager how helpful the employee was. These positive interactions are always welcome, because many customers treat service workers like they're beneath them. Working as a server is just a job, but some customers treat these workers as if they're second-class cit…

If you've ever worked in retail , you know the struggle of dealing with that one customer. You know, the one who always has a complaint, never waits patiently and somehow manages to make every shopping trip into a full-blown scene. For this employee, that customer was this entitled Karen who made it her mission to cause chaos to him and his coworkers every time she walked into the store. She'd yell, she'd argue, and she'd make everyone's day a whole lot worse. Just because she could. But fate h…

"You don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake."

In every scenario, there can be more than one way to do things correctly, especially when it comes to work. Not everyone, even if they have the same role, does everything in the exact same way, and that is completely reasonable. Every employee finds their own rhythm and methods to do their job, and as long as the job gets done well, there shouldn't be any problems. When a new hire comes in, it makes sense that they would turn to their coworkers for guidance, but it is not a necessity. If they f…

New management seemed to think that they knew how to do his job better than he did

When you're planning the biggest event of your life, what is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime event, it's important to make sure you actually get to the planning part of it and not just leave essential parts to chance… this, coming from someone who is notoriously poor at planning beyond the end of the week. If you want to go on a trip that is going to require you to take time off work, you should probably make sure you request the time off work first so that you're not stuck with an already booked…

This consultant is adamant that she should be allowed to wear whatever she wants to work. Too bad her coworkers don't feel the same way! Up next, read about these people who had some rough days at work, like one person who revealed they " Just lost thousands of dollars worth of product at work . Most likely getting fired.”

Life's not all rainbows and lollipops. There are a lot of days that you feel like doing anything other than going to work … but you still have to go, or else you risk getting fired. Whether you're having issues with your home life or dealing with a weather emergency, oftentimes you'll still have to head into your job anyway. Just ask the people below, who shared snapshots of their rough days at work. A few different people committed the classic accident of mistakenly wearing two different shoes…
