Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, how have you made it this far in life with such little intelligence? For your sake, we hope you haven't. But sometimes you are around a person with so few brain cells, you can't help but mentally facepalm at some of the things that come out of their mouth. With that being said, get ready to be amazed (and a little horrified) by these 30+ ridiculously simple things that somehow needed explaining to grown adults. It's like the universe has a twis…

With the rise of fitness influencer culture on social media, there are all kinds of tips and tricks to stay healthy and feel your best; it's almost intimidating. From eating strict keto diets to tracking your macros and participating in 75 hard (seriously, who comes up with this stuff?), it can feel impossible to keep up with the trends. This guy tracks his food intake to the max, accounting for macros, micros, fiber, calories, and everything else we didn't even know we should be paying attenti…

When employees end up leaving their jobs, more often than not, they don't leave because of the job itself, they leave because of the people there, or more specifically, because of their boss. It can be really disappointing to actually enjoy your job but feel like you have to leave because you cannot work with the people around you. The employee in this Reddit story felt like they had no choice but to leave precisely because of these reasons. After OP (original poster) got skipped over a big pro…

Getting fired is never a pleasant experience, but there are still some ways for it to be done that are better than others. If your manager has even a tiny shred of respect for you, then they will sit you down in their office, tell you the reasons they have to let you go, and send you off with a good luck wish. However, if your manager cares about no one but themselves, they might not even bother to fire you, and get someone else to do their dirty work for them. That is roughly what happened in…

Working in the human resources department means you have likely seen some things no professional wishes to see. Perhaps you love managing teams of employees and making sure they are taken care of day in and day out. However, we know all too well at this point that working in HR means you are protecting the company at all costs. The employees? Sure, you may care about their well-being a little bit but only to a certain extent. At the end of the day, your job is not really about protecting them b…

Working from home has become a non-negotiable for many employees who’ve tasted the sweet freedom of avoiding the office grind. After experiencing the joys of remote work, some folks have decided they’ll never go back to cubicle life. And who can blame them? If you’re one of those office workers stuck in a cramped cube, why wouldn’t you prefer the comfort of your own home? Remote work is a game-changer, especially for families juggling kids and sky-high childcare costs. The flexibility is a gods…

This person flew a little too close to the sun while trying to cash in on an incredible deal . No one has a malicious compliance story quite like u/DuckDownRob's tale. They share the way they accidentally broke a rewards system by acting like an extreme couponer of sorts. There have been plenty of failed promotion programs throughout history. It can happen to any company if they aren't cautious about the wording of their offers, as well as limiting the amount of products that people can purchas…

When the HOA goes low, you go lower.

People say that haggling is a skill that can be very beneficial to learn and master, but they don't say that there is a specific time and place one should use this skill. It is certainly not suitable for every business, and one should know when it is acceptable to try and haggle a lower price for something, and when they should accept the price they are given in the first place. A farmer's market, is the perfect place to haggle for a price, and you can sometimes get really great deals on produc…

We are firm believers that hourly employees should get paid exactly the amount they are due for their work, not a minute less or more. Clocking in and out of a job is the perfect way to track the hours and make sure employees are getting paid exactly what they are owed. That means, of course, that as long as an employee is physically on the job, they should be getting paid for it, and they only clock out when they are entirely off the job premises. The fact that the workers in this Reddit story…

When there are changes in management at a workplace, the whole vibe can suddenly shift. A new manager can change a workplace without even trying, although, as these people shared, a lot of managers try their hardest to act in charge at their new place of business. While we're on the subject of hiring new people, read about the HR folks who were surprised by these odd resumes, like one person whose “ resume had a skills sectio n...only thing listed was ‘calculator.'”

Never burn a bridge with your next door neighbor

Dive into the world of the hilarious Facebook marketplace fails! If you're familiar with the platform, you know that most of the listings consist of typical furniture items and clothing, you know, normal things you'd find at a second-hand store. But it's also Facebook. So you have to be prepared for the random one-off listings that you can't tell if the seller is serious or just trying to make a joke. Either way, it keeps you entertained for long enough until you find yourself doom-scrolling...

The only thing more satisfying than reading a funny restaurant review online is reading a savage response from the owner. Here, we have several entitled Karen customers, who clearly left out plenty of important details regarding their dining experiences. It's the power of narrative, folks, as well as the power of main character syndrome. These Karen customers seemed to all genuinely believe that they were the innocent victims of their stories. That self-belief extended to the ways in which they…

Every unemployment period reaches its peak when an unemployed individual feels like they cannot let another day go by without them finding a job. Perhaps because of financial reasons, perhaps because they cannot stand another day at home, probably both. Either way, when one reaches that period of unemployment, they would do anything to simply find a job, and would probably accept a job no matter what. This means that they are willing to ignore a lot of red flags just so they would get to be emp…
