If you've ever had a boss that you are clearly smarter than, you know it can get pretty awkward really fast. We all want to think we're super smart and sophisticated, especially in the workplace . Many people try really hard to appear on top of things and in tune with exactly what's going on at their workplace from day to day. However, some bosses just don't care. It's baffling — they'll have a whole job that involves giving a darn about a workplace, and yet they'll happily sit in a back office…

The best solution is sometimes the simplest.

One person asked workers to spill their “worst/ funniest/ strangest client story," and so many people had great anecdotes to share.

The unintentional hilarity of humanity is endlessly entertaining.

This person claims that their boss is only their boss because she just decided she was the Office Manager one day, and everyone went along with it. That seems like a recipe for disaster! You'd think that after working in an industry for ten years, this woman “Kevina” would kind of know what she's doing. The OP, u/alas_vikn, shares that they work at a stone company (and they've gotten in the habit of referring to Kevina's shenanigans as “The Flintstone Chronicles”).

Tsk, tsk, testing our patience again, are we? Welcome to this week's top mildly infuriating fails. We don't take the word ‘mildly’ lightly, as the fails below aren't the end of the world, but they are a pesky nuisance. Sometimes things don't go as planned, an annoying neighbor butts his nose up in your business, or Karen believes she gave birth to you. Whatever it may be, something is always the matter. Maybe we're entitled, or bored, or expect too much of the universe. Perhaps it is precisely…

Everyone has a brain fart now and again, but for these people, it's a chronic condition. At least, that's according to this incredible thread of answers to u/Smejbur's question, “What is one of the dumbest things a person has said to you ?” Saying and doing dumb things is one of life's simple pleasures, but it has to be done in moderation. And unfortunately for a lot of us, we often don't intend to say something silly, and then get embarrassed when we're called out for it. These folks below did…

Truly, how did these people ever make it through school without knowing such basic information? In this incredible post to r/AskReddit, one person asked people to tell them all about the dumbest people i n their lives. And thousands of comments rolled in, sharing hilarious stories of people who made all kinds of goofy mistakes. While some of the people in these stories were children, a decent amount were adults or teenagers. It's really surprising how someone tells you an incorrect random fact…

We all have that one colleague who's a total show off. They like to claim that they were heading up a project , when actually they barely did any work on it. Or they try to schmooze with clients and C-suite employees, only to come off as arrogant and irritating. People like this exist everywhere, but not everyone is quite as confident in their abilities as this crazy Kevin ! At least this guy didn't get away unscathed. The OP, u/UnlikelyAlternative, writes that after Kevin's big goof with some…

Reddit user Dragon_Crystal had an amazing story to tell about this one confused dude who didn't quite understand why he couldn't buy tickets to a movie he really wanted to see. In this funny tale , this befuddled employee worked at a chain theater that was going to be closing in just a few months. One day, in comes a Kevin, and he has a strange request - tickets for a movie that's playing a few months in the future. Ordinarily, that's no problem, because theaters sell advanced tickets all the t…

It wasn't me.

Uh, alright if you say so.

A bakery employee shared this tale of a cake mixup that must have been the most embarrassing day this customer ever had. At least this worker never let it leave their memory — it's just too funny! Birthday parties are definitely one of the most fun parts of childhood, whether you were blowing out your own candles, or visiting someone else's house to give them gifts. But in all the commotion of parties, do kids really care about or notice their birthday cake? I don't think so, but this one woman…

Romance involves looking past some of your partner's flaws. The people who replied to this question know that all too well!

There's billions of people in this world, and they can't all be geniuses. Some don't even have a drop of common sense . You're going to meet many people from all different walks of life and varying educational backgrounds, but sometimes people just say stunning things. Prompted by a famous quote from George Carlin , people shared their stories of the times they realized they were much smarter than the person they were chatting with. These people aren't your average run-of-the-mill dum dums. No,…

Criminally hilarious.
