"Can I have read/write access to the internet?"... "Gonna have to clear this request with the Elders of the Internet first."

Have you ever been fired ? Usually, you get a little work review, whether you want it or not, and all of your failures are listed out and you're let go. If you're lucky, you'll get a severance package and can get on unemployment. But, honestly, who knows these days?! Companies just do whatever they want with zero empathy. For example, a recently fired customer service rep came to Reddit to vent about how he was fired on the spot with no obvious cause. He had been working there for a month and g…

Look, everyone has their own standards for everything, and that especially includes the establishment you choose to eat in. Some people don't mind a restaurant with loud music, while others will walk right back out the door if they have to yell at their date across the table. It's just a different level of comfort. That being said, there are some “levels of comfort” I think we can all agree on. For instance, the smell of rotting food or seeing a rat run by your feet. Those are just some guess,…

Renting is always some sort of chaotic show when the owner changes from private to large corporation. Providing a basic need to humanity should not be left in the hand of faceless corporations with zero empathy. Unfortunately, that is what happened to the mobile park lot that this Redditor had been living in. They had only been there about a year before the independent owner sold it to a huge money-hungry corporation. Because of this, nothing got fixed, so their driveway was deteriorating. OP's…

It's one thing if you're wearing a red collared shirt to Target and you have to keep telling people you don't work there. That one is on you. It's a completely other thing if you're dressed like you're on your way to Margaritaville in some grocery store and a Karen literally starts slapping you around for being an “incompetent employee.” Like, lady… I don't even work here! Speaking of, in the subreddit r/IDontWorkHereLady, one man shared his story of his own similar encounter. He was in his san…

"Welcome to Wendy's, can I take your order?" Imagine taking a breath, and you're about to give your order, your mouth is salivating and your belly grumbling, but then a monstrous Karen comes barreling in and pushes you aside so she can order first. Then when you try to call her out for it, she starts calling you a bad employee because apparently you work there now… Well, that is exactly what happened to these poor souls. They just wanted a Baconator and what not, but instead they were met face…

Everyone knows not to mess with a mom in fear of the mama bear coming out. But what about the kids who were raised by a mama bear? Those kids grow up feeling secure by their mom, so now they will do anything to return the favor. That's the example these kids show for their mom. The two brothers and sister in this family are all grown up now, in their late 20s-early 30s. One of the brothers shared a story about how they showed up for their mom and got the revenge she deserved . Their mom was dat…

Halloween is a holiday where you dress up in a costume and have some fun . That's really it. You can go into the history of it and the different types of cultures it was influenced by, but currently, it really isn't that complicated. You put on a costume, and do something fun with your friends. Or if you're a kid, you put on a costume and go trick-or-treating and then try not to OD on candy. And there you have it—Halloween. Unfortunately, some people can make this holiday a little messy. Teenag…

The housing market is insane right now, that's pretty common knowledge at this point. But have you dived into the property insurance crisis? (Feels like everything is in crisis mode these days…) Turns out it's not just the price to purchase a house that has been disgustingly inflated, but also the price to keep and maintain your home. I mean, with the price of gas and eggs these days, are you even surprised that something as money hungry as insurance companies have raised their prices? One tena…

There are little things everyone can do to make society a better place. Things that cost nothing and hardly take any effort. One of these things is putting the shopping cart back into the shopping cart carrel after you are finished using it. Unfortunately, there are too many lazy and/or entitled people who think after they are finished using the shopping cart, it's not their job nor their duty to put it back. So where does the shopping cart end up after these kinds of people use them? Usually r…

When you are an employee that is considered to be lower on the power dynamic totem poll, you tend to have to work harder to earn the respect of your upper management. It's a flawed and archaic dynamic, yet it persists. It's not often that anyone from upper management comes in and actually swallows their pride towards their lowly employees . But that is exactly what happened to this sales advisor for a bathroom showroom and we are here for it. The satisfying conclusion, according to the employee…

The duties that are require to work in retail might seem minuscule, but we assure you, they're not. Karens might say it's all just standing around and doing anything and everything the customer says, but that's just simply incorrect. There is so much in the backend and behind the scenes that needs done that customer's don't see. For example, opening the store. It isn't just unlocking the doors, it's setting up the system, doing inventory, restocking the store, online duties, etc. Unfortunately,…

Ever heard the saying, “spending dollars to save pennies”? It means you're putting more effort in than you're actually getting out. So if you spend $5 to save .50¢, it's not really a savings, is it? For some reason, this doesn't compute to some companies when it comes to power play. They'd rather seem like the one that holds all the power than give you a raise. One post on the subreddit r/sysadmin has the comment section of a lifetime. They asked if anybody had quit a tech job where the company…

Parking lots can drive up a lot of tension. Most people try to be polite and park with the thought in mind that other people are parking around them. There are rules to follow in a parking lot and if you don't you can get ticketed just like as if you were parking on the street. It's really not that perplexing. And yet, there is always a parking lot Karen ready to throw down on whatever ridiculous charges she's spewing about. This happened to a Reddit poster who was able to just laugh in her fac…

It's an exciting time when you buy your first home. It's a rare thing for people these days, so anyone who is able to be a homeowner all on there own should be applauded. When looking for a new home you have to check the usual things: finance, the house's condition, the politics of the neighborhood, etc. One thing people tend to forget that is also an important bullet point to keep on your house shopping list is checking out the neighbors. Unfortunately, it would appear this newest homeowner di…

If you are riddled with anxiety and think of yourself as a shy person (like many people in the world), then sometimes it's hard to do things that you know will benefit you. Sometimes you just want to drop everything and walk away like it never even happened. For example, putting in your two weeks. In this case on Reddit, this salesgirl was only 21 years old and very very shy. Apparently, the optical store she works out asks for a two-month notice, which is insane. Luckily, that is just the cour…
