Why is this me

The concept of modern-day influencers has been a thing for a while now. What is this strange phenomenon that has taken over the WWW? They swarm every social media platform that exists, and it has become impossible not to encounter them while scrolling. Well, influencers, as the title suggests, influence others. They have a distinct niche (All look the same to me… fashion, shmashion…), and they actively engage with their… followers. Y'know, like a biblical prophet. They have also gained a bad re…

Every once in a while, you come across a minor inconvenience that makes you want to scream.

It's important to choose one's words carefully, especially when those words are the only thing standing between some thirsty grunts and their choice of drink after a long hard day. This is a classic instance of malicious compliance being executed, where the number of something has been specified, but the size of each item has not. Another instance where this same premise plays out might be a parent telling their child that they can have “just one” candy bar before the child returns with the lar…

When you're an entitled 22-year-old 'Nepo-Baby' manager, it's likely you won't know what the significance of having a kid is. This boss in particular really had it out for his employee who was having a baby, as he continuously denied him PTO, for the entirety of September, when the employee's wife was due to give birth. The employee in question was fed up, and decided to maliciously comply, sending in a request for PTO and paternity leave in October — which was approved by the night manager, an…

It's absolutely mind-boggling that some companies are dumb enough to approve a new hire (from within the company) to replace an employee, without alerting said employee of their firing. How awkward. This is what happened in this very humiliating case for a young worker who was trying to prove herself. She heard via office gossip that the company had someone in mind for her position… while she still had the role. Apparently, they felt ‘Shelby’ would be a better fit. Things didn't exactly go acco…

These people love to play small innocent pranks just to confuse the people around them. A lighthearted prank can be a fun way to connect with friends or coworkers, so these Redditors shared their favorite ways to screw with people's heads . There are some excellent ideas here! Most of the pranks involve confusing the victim of the prank just a little – by moving around random objects, or handing them something and walking away. My favorite, though, is the person who said their aunt hides ping p…

Shower thoughts are a real hit or miss. Either they're horrifically funny, or terribly scary. I'd like to think that the best ones are a bit of both. The most genius thoughts we have in life don't come to us when we're stressing at work… no, they come to us when we're singing U2 at the top of our lungs whilst pretending to play the guitar, warm water gushing over our heads like a waterfall. Someone in the next room may or may not be yelling at us, demanding that we shut up. In other words, good…

The students were told they had the “option” to come to the lab early but it became rapidly clear that this was an expectation (not an "option”), and that they had to skip lunch in order to achieve this.

A senior employee wasn't about to sit around and be a pushover simply because of a small change in regime...

A portmanteau of the words ‘play’ and ‘costume’, cosplay is the act of dressing up in a fictional character's apparel. While adorning this character's costume, the cosplayer oftentimes adopts their persona and mannerism. Let's be clear, a lot of effort is put into this recreation of a character, so the last thing you'd wanna do is insult the person who does it. Personally, I really admire the dedication and the zest that people have for it. It's not just a costume — it's an art, a performance.…

Every so often, we come across those happy accidents in life that are almost too good to be true.

The service industry is pretty volatile, as the environment is not exactly a professional one. If you've never had a job in this line of work, let me tell you, you are not missing out. What goes on behind the scenes ain't pretty. For some weird reason, managers in restaurants generally seem to be on some power trip. Their ego quickly outgrows their head, leading to repetitive conflict. u/Dio_bean took to Reddit, sharing his own experience with a terrible manager who instructed him to do a ‘deep…
