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…

We've seen a lot of incompetent bosses during our time browsing the internet… but have you ever heard of a boss who was so fiercely incompetent that they weren't even capable of firing a worker who was doing everything in their power to themselves fired? The situation this worker found themselves in sounds maddening and—yet, at least you know, somewhere, deep down, this boss knew that they were totally reliant on their reluctant babysitter to maintain the homeostasis of their business… That alo…

Going on vacation sounds like a great idea—and why wouldn't it? A chance to break out of the mold of your daily life by going to wait in line at a crowded airport, to get on a crowded plane, to travel to a crowded place where you can wait in line at whatever overcrowded landmark, beach, theme park, or historic place you decided to spend thousands of dollars to visit. Each time, we're supposed to be reminded that the ability to make these crowded trips to crowded places somehow makes commuting i…

“Everything that happens and goes wrong, is my responsibility,” this facility manager wrote about their encounter with an irritating client. Key cards are pretty great inventions.

Being taught not to steal other people's things is a really important lesson to learn at a young age. The older you are when you learn this lesson, the more serious the consequences. For instance, if you go around stealing other people's sandwiches at the age of 9 years old, it seems a suitable punishment that one of those sandwiches might end up being hotter than the blazes of the burning sun itself. I feel like this is the best result if your parents, mentors, and teachers have somehow failed…

The phrase “over my dead body” is typically reserved for extreme instances where you want to express desperate and dramatic opposition to a measure of change someone is trying to bring about. Such as a suggestion at a local forum in which Agatha from down the street proposes filling the local skate park bowl with water every summer in order to repurpose it temporarily as a community poo. You, an avid skater, may stand up and declare, “Over my dead body!” Now, of course, you don't really mean th…
