When you think about the phrase “out of touch,” one specific person in your life probably pops into your head. Maybe it's that one nepo-hire coworker who whines about how bad the traffic was in the Hamptons this weekend. Or maybe it's a grandparent who can't go a day without telling their grandkids to spend money they don't have on items they really do not need. There are all types of people who are blissfully oblivious… just ask the hundreds of people who replied to this person's r/AskReddit q…

Is it really true that there are no dumb questions ? Some teachers certainly think so. They encourage students to ask any question, no matter how dumb it may seem. It's a good practice, in theory. It means that shy students or kids who aren't understanding the lesson have a chance to have their basic questions answered. After all, if you're thinking it, there's a good chance someone else is, too. This works great during math lessons, or it can lead to interesting discussions about books or work…

Every restaurant worker has at least one customer interaction that they'll never be able to get out of their head. Some are positive interactions, like having a regular who overtips, or a customer who goes out of their way to tell their manager how helpful the employee was. These positive interactions are always welcome, because many customers treat service workers like they're beneath them. Working as a server is just a job, but some customers treat these workers as if they're second-class cit…

What's that one job interview question you hope the interviewer won't ask? For many people, being asked about their biggest weaknesses or five-year goals is intimidating. Others struggle to give examples of how they work well on a team or with customers.

These people had some pretty rough interviews, as t…

Don't just get petty— get creative. Try to become so petty it strikes fear (or laughter) into the hearts of those around you. Become formidable and unchallenged by societal norms! Communication comes easily for some people, but for others it can be intimidating. Instead of asking for what they want, they'd rather use passive-aggressive behavior to get what they desire. In some cases, it's the safer option: you never know how a stranger might react to you asking them to switch seats with you on…

Their bosses are lucky if they show up a half hour late and are wearing their uniform. Some folks just live life day by day, and they'll…

Being fired from your job on day one should earn you some type of medal. It's a very special achievement after all. When managers are training a new employee, they expect them to mess up basically every task for a while. But you can't chock up everything to being unaware or untrained. Some things, like employees who can't focus on the job or those who berate the customers, have to go ASAP.
