But then there are people like the ones below. These folks have some really messy or messed-up home lives, and it's making people really not want to visit . This person was curious about people's experiences visiting someone's home and decidin…

'I freeze. I realize instantly what I said': 20+ Waiters who accidentally said what popped into their heads

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,…

'Dracula voices at [the] drive thru': 20+ People who got fired from their jobs

Listen, I just think you should be able to take a drive-thru order in whichever voice you feel like. The employees at fast food restaurants get super unbelievably bored of saying the same, “Hi, how can I help you?” phrase over and over. After you say it dozens of times per day, you start to hate the phrase. Why not change it up a little? One person replying to this hilarious thread did just that, but sadly, they got canned for their creativity.

'A month later, there are googly eyes everywhere': 20+ Employees who had memorably weird days at work

Some days at work are more memorable than others. Just think about it: there are probably hundreds of days of work, or life in general, that pass by mundanely, never to be remembered again.

The 1,000+ people replying to this person's r/AskReddit question had a few memorably weird work days to share, ranging from oddities to entire days that were completely derailed…

'My boss... asked me if he could borrow $1000': 25+ Bosses who had ridiculous requests for their employees

Bosses can ask their employees to do the most ridiculous things, even when it falls outside of their job description. A lot of job descriptions will list out all of the daily tasks the employee is expected to do. Then, there will be a line that says something like, “Additional tasks as needed.” That leaves a lot of room for a manager to request help with things that their employees really shouldn't be doing, but will be strong-armed into doing anyway. The people answering u/thekutsi's questions…

'It was her raccoon... she left a bag of sugar out for it': 15+ Absurd people who became the "crazy neighbor"

These people have a story or two they could tell you about their wackiest neighbors . You never really know a person until you live with them. The same goes for neighbors: you get to know them the longer you live around them. You start to learn what time they leave for work each day, you hear their parties or squabbles with their spouses, and you'll certainly start to recognize the signs of weird habits. Some people seem to love starting drama with their neighbors . There are a lot of folks who…

'[She] thought it said "Strength." What it said was, "Simplified Chinese"': 25+ Regrettable tattoo choices

When people get tattoos , they often consider what they love and cherish, and avoid thinking about the opinions of others. That's all well and good; if an art piece is forever inked onto your body, you should love it with all your heart. But there's an asterisk here: you should love it, because people are going to ask about it constantly. If you have a name, people will ask who that is. If you have a symbol or a little animal, people will ask what that means. It's the kind of experience you won…

'[She] asked why we can't drive to Hawaii': 35 People who are totally misinformed

This person asked people to spill the “most ridiculous thing you've heard someone say that they were 100% serious about.” Judging from the more than 4,800 people who r…

'How many days do we have for a 45 day return?': 20+ Customer questions that were complete nonsense

Customer service workers , you're doing the world a favor every time you politely answer the silliest question you've ever heard. They won't train you for this in most customer-facing roles. You think that customers will more or less know what's going on… but that's not the case. In fact, it seems like many jobs just require the worker to answer the same customer questions over and over and over. Some customers are special, though. They're so confused that their questions make the workers pause…

'[He] changed his job title to Ninja Computer Wizard': 15 Odd circumstances that led employees to get fired

When it comes to the pizza delivery driver who was fired because he couldn't find the house and just ate their pizza order instead… I understand where he's coming from. I'm not saying he did the right thing, because there's a family out there who ordered pizza and didn't get it. I just think he's relatable: it's hard to follow directions sometimes, and it's easy to get lost, and well, pizza is tasty. He probably got paid for one shift, and got to eat a free pizza in the meantime. He's an agent…

One person realized their spouse wasn't that bright when they declared, “I thought we could just buy tickets at the airport on the day we leave.” Their spouse literally thought that showing up at the airport, bag in hand, with no ticket, would still get them on a plane with any certainty. Only if they're lucky would they wind up on an aircraft! And that person isn't the only one who's been a bit surprised at their significant other's intelligence deficits… At least 14,000 people had stories to…

'[She]... asked if Mickey Mouse was a cat or a dog': 25+ Odd musings from people who were wildly misinformed

If you've been the victim of your older sibling telling you a falsehood you believed for decades, you may be entitled to compensation. Surely these people must've had that experience, since a lot of them grew up believing things like “horses lay eggs” or “stare into the sun." If not for an older sibling messing with their head, maybe some people just didn't pay attention in school, or were misled by some kind of movie or TV show. There are clearly lots of reasons why someone might not be knowle…
