Some coworkers are intolerable for a number of reasons. Like when Jeff from IT forgets to reload paper into the printer or when Krista from upstairs chats too long in the elevator and makes you miss your floor– that kind of stuff in simply annoying, but doesn't violate acceptable work ethics and morality. Some work behavior, on the other hand, is completely unacceptable and make the workplace unbelievably toxic , like being a racist, xenophobic, and sexist jerk who makes the workplace toxic and…

Each and every one of us has a memory (or memories) from our childhood that we hold dear, a nostalgic high-water mark of the happiest moments of our lives. We could drive ourselves mad trying to attain this same sense of blissful wonderment—and indeed, some have. This girlfriend seems to be one of those people, choosing to forgo all rational thought and social decency to chase and ride the high of her youth. Who doesn't love dipping their finger in a baking work-in-progress? Reckless abandon pr…

Mean girls will always be the mean girl. It's as if they have a toxic cloud of rude energy that surrounds them and compels them to be complete jerks to the people around them, manipulating people's insecurities and using deep trauma and feeble attention seeking tactics to control the people around them. One super extra mean girl, u/blueisnotcreative , is the worst kind of mean girl– the kind that plays innocent and pretends to be everyone's friend. Yuck. Recently, Blue posted on AITA, asking if…

Work can get boring sometimes, especially when the bulk of your job is to sit around and wait for things to happen. For one man, a warehouse quality control guy ( u/Gasp32 ), his daily life was ruled by grueling 12 hour shifts, boring Excel sheets, and killing time while on the clock. Claiming he could do a full 12 hour shift in 4 hours time, Gasp struggled to make himself seem busy while he was clocked in and on the job and paid the ultimate price for following the habits of his other coworker…

Like all establishments, an automobile company has rules and policies. It seems entirely plausible (generally speaking,) that people would understand a little thing called the 'rule of thumb'. AKA, the unspoken agreement. But unfortunately, not everyone is very bright. There are many possible conclusions one may come to when a car seemingly evaporates into thin air. When you disappear for two hours when taking a car out for a test drive, and ignore all of the staff's attempts at reaching out to…

Brotherhood is a sacred relationship. Typically, that sort of bond can't be broken, nor would anyone risk damaging their brotherly relationship because of pettiness, mean insults, or least of all, because of a girl. Well, one man proved that brotherhood is not as sacred to some, because he pretty much threw his own biological brother under the bus , effectively ending his relationship with his long-time girlfriend, publicly shaming his drug rehabilitation, and driving a very large wedge between…

Motorcycles are dangerous, everybody knows that. In fact, that's the reason why so many people think it's hot to ride a motorcycle. There's something about the complete lack of self preservation, danger, and rebellion that we feel when looking at a guy on a bike. But there's a line that can be crossed when it's no longer cool and rebellious to be on a bike and it's simply dangerous, scary, and reckless, especially when it comes to your teenager. One Redditor, a motorcyclist and part-time bad bo…

Sorry we can't split the check 10 ways, it's company policy

Is your personal time less important than your coworkers just because you don't have children? This woman was asked by her Karen coworker to cover an evening call for her. Karen's son had a soccer game that she wanted to attend, and she was getting desperate. The woman, who has since deleted the post, so we are unable to get her username, responded that she was unable to cover the call for Karen as she had plans already. She had a volleyball game to attend that she was partaking in. Further, sh…

People can get weirdly cult-like over the way they like their food, and it's one of the smallest hills people are consistently willing to die on; there are so many people that have overly strong opinions about and will gatekeep what topping or sauce you should or shouldn't eat on any given food. So what if you like ketchup on eggs? Or hot sauce on Italian food? If you wanna pile mayonnaise and dijon mustard on your linguine, then you go right ahead. I certainly won't be joining you or partaking…

It never feels good to hear friends making plans that you're not invited to, and it's hard to know what to do in that situation. Do you speak up and try and get yourself invited? Or do you slink back and pretend that you can't hear the conversation? This friend, “Jessica" chose the former and got herself a (reluctant) invitation to the trip by publicly shaming her mutual friend that was planning the trip. Information was shared regarding the cost and the itinerary of the trip “Things started to…

Redditor u/throwraWaitress109 posted on the /r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, asking for advice on a situation that had come up with her and her husband after they went to a restaurant for a night out on his birthday. Throughout the evening and even during the meal, the waitress had been blatantly hitting on her husband, taking it to levels that made her very uncomfortable. When asked to stop, the waitress just smirked. So u/throwraWaitress109 went home and left a bad review, ultimately leading to th…

As the saying goes, no one knows how to push your buttons better than your family. When you're raised together or spend lots of time together, you soon realize just what makes people tick. In this family , there's a silent war going on between the OP and her half-sister, who always tries to one-up her at everything — even her own engagement party. The OP shared this infuriating tale to r/pettyrevenge, but in my humble opinion, this is pro-level revenge . After announcing a party to celebrate he…

Everyone is the hero of their own story: Where we see this neighborhood Karen as just that, she sees herself as a vigilante hero fighting for justice—a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a dark knight. Sometimes you die the hero; sometimes, you live to see yourself become the villain—sometimes still, you never were actually the hero in the first place. This Karen took offense to the fact that the neighborhood was throwing a Valentine's Day event for adults only, no kids invited. The Reddi…

When your adoption plays out like a Team Rocket attempt to capture Ash's Pikachu — you might need to go home and rethink your life. Now, I'm not knocking those who would seek to adopt children; largely, these people are doing one of the greatest goods you could imagine — however, privately approaching, no — stalking — a desperate young woman on Facebook and convincing her that her only option is to give her unborn baby to you is nefarious , in a mustache-twirling, cat-stroking, monocle-adjustin…

A small spark of discourse can grow into a wildfire when both sides are fanning the flames; ego, pride, and prejudice can drive us to go great lengths and take us down surprising paths, all over something that totally wasn't worth worrying about in the first place. It's no small wonder that something as simple as a dispute over an alarm clock can drive two family members to a point where they're clawing at each other and marching down toward mutually assured destruction. The original poster of…
