via BoliviaInteligente on Unsplash In the span of just a few years, we've gone from barely understanding what AI does to seeing it used everywhere. Your inbox is likely chock-full of companies bragging about their latest AI updates. On photo editing sites, AI generation is touted on the home page. X, formerly known as Twitter, has an AI named "Grok," while Google has the cutesy "Gemini." They want you to talk to these artificial beings, ask them questions, and even let them be your personal ass…

One restaurant greeter learned a valuable lesson about how people should treat them in a work setting. When you start your first job, you don't exactly know how you're supposed to be treated by management. Some places yell at their workers, others are passive-aggressive towards them, and others have super strict rules that they stick by no matter what. Your first job teaches you a lot… so by the time you get your second job, you're a little wiser and more experienced. This person was holding tw…

A $90 tip on a $100 check? Count me out

There are some absolutely wild shenanigans happening in these student dorms! Next, take a peek into what kind of mildly infuriating things these local thrift stores are up to, like one that decided “to use staples for clothing tags .”

Anyone who has ever lived with another person had to deal with some kind of drama related to food. It is simply unavoidable. We are all so specific about our food, what, when, where, and how we eat, so when someone else gets thrown into the mix, chaos is bound to ensue. There are a few different approaches when it comes to food in a shared space. You can either buy everything together and split the costs, you can share nothing and have each of you buy their own food and keep it completely separ…

What's the most disappointing product you've ever received? No matter how carefully you vet the seller, sometimes you're going to end up with a subpar product. This seems to happen constantly to people who buy things online, where tricky photography angles can be used to disguise subpar products. One person bought a cat sweater, only to realize it wasn't a sweater at all. It was a sweater print , printed onto some cheap fabric. It looks like the kind of fabric people wear for an ugly holiday sw…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, am I right? No one's ever told that to this customer apparently, who just couldn't understand why he wasn't getting his Chinese food i n a timely manner. This story takes place back in the days of landline phones . It seems like they don't even put landline phones in newer houses today; I don't know a single person who still uses that brick of a phone glued to the wall. In the ages of cell phones, they're completely obsolete. Not everyone misses them, eithe…

While on a work trip to the Big Apple, this person decided to do some fancy dining on their workplace's dime. That's quite the perk if you can get it! The food in New York is truly incredible, as any visitor or resident of the city can tell you. You've got to try the pizza of course, but there are tons of sandwich shops and ice cream parlors and a dizzying array of other foods that are delectable. You really can't go wrong! This person was traveling to the city's Theater District , which is ful…

With the rise of fitness influencer culture on social media, there are all kinds of tips and tricks to stay healthy and feel your best; it's almost intimidating. From eating strict keto diets to tracking your macros and participating in 75 hard (seriously, who comes up with this stuff?), it can feel impossible to keep up with the trends. This guy tracks his food intake to the max, accounting for macros, micros, fiber, calories, and everything else we didn't even know we should be paying attenti…

This person flew a little too close to the sun while trying to cash in on an incredible deal . No one has a malicious compliance story quite like u/DuckDownRob's tale. They share the way they accidentally broke a rewards system by acting like an extreme couponer of sorts. There have been plenty of failed promotion programs throughout history. It can happen to any company if they aren't cautious about the wording of their offers, as well as limiting the amount of products that people can purchas…

Oh, you have to be at the airport in 90 minutes, but you have time for a sit-down meal at a restaurant? Tell me more. Tell me why you think that's a good choice. International flights can cause long lines to get through security---these notoriously take ages to get through. Oh, you're only 25 minutes from the airport? I'm sure there will be no traffic, red lights, or slow drivers to stop you from getting on your flight. Truly, if you decide to have a sit-down meal outside the airport when you h…

This person has a few questions for their local deli . After working there for five years, they've seen a thing or two at that location. You really get to know the in and outs of a restaurant after working there for so long. In fact, u/medlabcriseshotline had worked there long enough to know that there was a bit of misleading advertising going on at the place. The original poster is curious about how much of the food prep process needs to be done in-house to be considered “homemade." There aren…

Whoops… these waiters mixed up their words a little bit! It happens to all of us now and again: we mean to say one thing, then think of something else to say, and then combine the two to make one dumb phrase. It's like that scene in Mean Girls when Cady tries to say “great” and then “cool” and ends up with “grool.” Except that these people were waiters, and they were talking to their customers when they made their mistakes. Unlike other service jobs, waiters work for tips from their customers,…

We've all had a poor experience with fast food at some point. When you get that late-night craving for a burger and fries, the last thing you want is to receive a half-eaten delivery, a major missing ingredient, or uncooked meat. Unfortunately, this is far more common than any of us would like to admit. When it does happen, we hopefully catch it before it's too late… you don't want to discover raw chicken after you bite into your nugget. If you're lucky enough to catch it early, you throw your…
