'Every conversation with her... leads back to her 5 cats': 25+ Workers who have had enough of "that guy" at their job

There's one in every office. Each business place has that one person who everyone else gives a side-eye to. They probably have some kind of personality quirk that irritates everyone. But it's the kind of thing that you can't go to HR for, because what is HR going to do about issues like “Tina is always breathing too loudly” or “Jack has been heating up three meals a day in the microwave and he lets the microwave count down to the beep each time”? These are minor issues, and we all have to live…

'Grandma accidentally poured dish soap on the turkey instead of oil': 25+ Thanksgiving celebrations gone totally wrong that the family will laugh about for years to come

Nothing creates treasured memories faster than someone ruining a Thanksgiving turkey in front of the whole family. Hosting Thanksgiving is a big job. Even if you assign some relatives a food to bring, you suddenly realize, “Uh oh… I'm the one who has to make the turkey.” When you're cooking a giant turkey like that, there are specific rules you need to follow. It needs to defrost, be stuffed and basted, then put in the oven for a certain amount of hours, depending on the weight. I can't speak f…

'Would you like me to wash your blankie?': 25+ Gamers who left their mics on for their entire group to overhear

These gamers had a listen in to their friends' personal lives, and they've stopped laughing for long enough to tell the stories.

If you aren't a gamer yourself, chances are you know a kid who's playing Roblox right now, or maybe you have a sibling who's glued to their chair playing Call of Duty. For a lot of people, playing video games is a great way to relax, catch up with friends, and let off some steam after…

'[I] put my Bluetooth headphones in the freezer to charge': 40+ Awkward moments from people who were totally oblivious to their surroundings

On those groggy mornings where you're on autopilot , mishaps are bound to happen. We've all done it: when you're half-awake, you tend to do things like forget to bring your laptop to work, or maybe you start driving to your mom's house instead of the office, or even searching desperately for your phone while holding it. That's especially funny if someone witnesses you using your phone flashlight to look between the couch cushions for the phone in your hand. One of the more embarrassing things I…

'Taking off shoes and socks on an airplane': 25+ 'Socially unacceptable' things people wish others would stop doing all together

'Taking off shoes and socks on an airplane': 25+ 'Socially unacceptable' things people wish others would stop doing all together

If you take off your socks and shoes during your flight, that should count as an automatic ban from the airline. Unless you're a child---like a toddler, no one over age like 7---there's no need for you to be airing out your piggy toes mid-flight. As an adult, you should be able to wait a few hours while wearing shoes. Many adults wear shoes for 8 or 10 hours during work days, and often times even longer. So why does getting on a plane suddenly inspire so many people to get comfy by airing out t…

'I fired a guy for trying to drive a scissor lift down the stairs': 25+ Safety watchdogs who were caught off guard by careless companies

Maybe safety measures seem like common knowledge to us, but lots of companies would rather save a few bucks and let their employees take on the risk. That's why there's OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which doles out punishments for workplaces that don't protect their workers. However, OSHA is very understaffed, and there's a lot that slips through the cracks. Have you ever seen videos of demolition workers who are trying to bring down a building by themselves? They wil…

'I got a detention for pretending to be a Pokemon': 25+ Kids who were reprimanded for the silliest reasons

We should really just let kids be kids . You only get so long to have a carefree childhood. As a child, you avoid adult responsibilities and can spend all day either playing or at school (and then playing once school lets out). That's your time to frolic in the grass, make up games, play on the playground, and run around with your friends. Knowing that you only get to be a child once, some teachers and parents are still crazy strict with their little ones. People who answered the question poste…

Quitting a job can feel like freedom, especially if you get to stick it to your boss on your way out the door. No one is irreplaceable at their job, but it's nice when your workplace makes you feel appreciated. Employees can be motivated with positivity, like raises, bonuses, or even pizza parties.
