Working in the retail and customer service industry is not for the faint of heart. One minute you're helping a sweet old lady find the perfect pair of shoes; the next, you're dealing with a Karen who's demanding to speak to the manager. And returns are a whole other adventure. It's like some people think the store is their personal rental service. Despite the challenges, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of helping someone find exactly what they're looking for...or maybe it's just...

the night shift is not for the weak

Each year, millions of cats and dogs get adopted out, and someone at the shelters will have to name them. According to Forbes, the number of pups who got their fur-ever home in the US last year was 1.5 million. That's just counting dogs—but shelters also house plenty of cats, and about 978,000 of the little scoundrels were adopted last year. Now, there aren't millions of pigs, lizards, rabbits, or birds sitting in the shelters, but a few of them always come through these shelters' doors, too! A…

Have you ever seen a movie so bad that the crowd starts heckling the film ? It's rare, but it happens. Depending on the theater you go to and the time you attend, you might find yourself laughing along to the audience's own version of Riff Trax instead of the actual movie. There's a sweet spot for hecklers. The movie has to be so bad that most people aren't enjoying it; a few people have even walked out while shaking their heads and talking about getting refunded. (If someone starts yelling at…

All of us have that one story about the funniest thing we've ever witnessed. It's that one tale that your friend group can tell over and over, since it brings everyone to tears of laughter with every repeated telling. Often, the story involves someone in the friend group falling or making a fool of themselves in some other goofy way. The good people of the r/AskReddit community told their own stories about the funniest things they've personally witnessed, and it's impossible to read them withou…

Well this is awkward

These people could hardly hold back their laughter after overhearing some odd conversations . They say that kids say the darndest things, but so do adults who are chatting in public, thinking that no one can hear them. It’s one of life’s joys to yap a little while you’re on the subway or in an elevator. Maybe there are people around you, but they’re strangers, so who cares if they overhear you? When I am that stranger, I always listen in to other people’s conversations . Maybe I’ll never see yo…

Has anyone had one of those horrendous “did I just say that out loud" realizations? If you haven't, you must be some sort of genius because the rest of us common folk have likely felt foolish and unintelligent in public settings countless times.

If you think you're having a bad day, just wait until you see what these folks are going through. From tiny annoyances to giant messes, these people have been going through it. It's normal to have an “off” day or two. No one's life is perfect.

These problem-solvers got creative with their kitchen gadgets and random objects. At least they're keeping everyone around them in fits of giggles. No two households are the same, so the things you find normal will be foreign to someone else. Even something as simple as operating a can opener or a toaster can be confusing at another person's house . Maybe one of the most common ones in my experience is trying to figure out how to work someone else's shower. You don't want to push, pull, or turn…

On dating apps, your fate lies in the hands of the ever-changing whims of the algorithm gods. Match? Nope, not this time. What about now? No, again. Well, when is it my turn, you ask, and the answer is (malicious laughter) NEVERRRRRR. I'm being dramatic, of course, you'll find someone. I did, a couple of times, and they all broke my heart, and now I'm single again. See? It totally works. Now that we're all nice and grumpy, we can genuinely enjoy the dating fails below. Take joy in other people'…

You know the drill – you sign up for a company's emails for a tempting incentive, like a juicy 20% discount, and suddenly, you're bombarded with annoying emails week after week. So there's this random guy who, fed up with the spam, decides to outsmart the system. He signs up for emails using a 'fake' email address, just a random Gmail account with his first initial and last name. Unbeknownst to him, someone else actually shares the same first initial and last name and has to endure the spam...

Jobs that are totally worth it but also really not.

Every workplace has a day or two that goes down in infamy. Someone at the office will do something so outrageous or unexpected that it catches everyone off guard. Whatever the hilarious incident may be, it becomes the inside joke that people bring up at the holiday party for years afterward. These people wrote in to share the funniest moments they ever experienced while on the job, and there are some incredible anecdotes. One of the most shocking stories involved a higher-up being so incredibly…

If you have a pet , chances are you renamed them once you brought them home to you. Since there are hundreds of animals at shelters at any given time, they often just get random generic pet names like Buddy or Max. Then, once you've adopted your little fuzzy bundle of joy, you might want to let your kids name the new family pet, or give them the name you've always wanted your fur baby to have. Well, these animal shelters got a little more creative with their pet names. Whether they let children…
