holidays

People that steal are the worst. People that steal during the holidays are a whole new level of immoral and selfish. Especially those folks like the ones in this story that have the audacity to steal from "Grandpa" at Christmastime. Fortunately, it's not actually a gift from Grandpa. You might call it a harsh lesson in the value of not stealing someone else's presents. Check out some more revenge drama with this employee who caught their manager stealing, and ended up getting a nice raise as a result.

I mean, at least her heart was in the right place. Sometimes you don't realize that you're definitely not meant to be a sculptor, until after you try to fix mom's broken nativity scene. With the holiday season in bloom, we love a good Christmas fail. This one's definitely a classic. Check out some more funny holiday content, with these people's funniest stories from their office Christmas parties. 

Office Christmas parties have a tendency to spiral out of control quickly. It could be all the aggressive enthusiasm and nerves that are already engrained into the holiday season, or people just letting themselves go a bit too much in honor the season. But alas, sometimes people manage to keep it together and actually have a genuinely, reasonably mannered good time. It's rare, but it can happen. 

While it was certainly a tough day for the drivers that had their cars towed, they also could've avoided that unfortunate, costly development if they'd just been a bit more considerate, and played by the rules. What a "ballet" kind of scene that must've been, when all those tow trucks and cop cars showed up. Parking Lot Grinch shouldn't be too hard on themselves. They were just trying to do the right thing for someone who really needed the extra support. 

Well isn't this just some simply wonderful wholesome holiday goodness? If there's one thing that this quick seasonal post about some kids designing Christmas lights has shown us, it's that more kids should be in charge of designing Christmas lights. 

There's no doubt that Thanksgiving is completely different this year for most of us. Many folks have been forced to cancel their plans to see family members. This is a time that's testing us all, and certainly making us dig deep. But with this tumultuous rollercoaster comes an eventual state of acceptance, and a recognition that this storm too shall pass. Before it does, it's on us to find ways to still have fun during the holidays from the safe and cozy confines of our respective homes. Plus, if any family members bring up awkward topics during a potential Zoom Thanksgiving Dinner, you can just pause your screen and blame it on bad reception. That's quite the clutch get-out-of-jail-free card right there. 

So many of us are prone to impulse buys during the holiday season. It's a time where we can fork over some of that hard-earned dough, and buy special gifts for the human beings we're grateful to share this strange existence with. With that being said, we've got to be careful to not cave for the irrational pet purchases. You've really got to think things through before bringing a new family member on board. Especially if it's a bird that's about to stir up a loud ruckus in your home. 

Jane was playing with fire. She thought she'd just go on and on, not helping out her teammates, and instead proactively making their work situations genuinely unpleasant environments. Just picturing the mystified look of pure confused, terror on Jane's face when this employee dipped out on Christmas Day is enough to put a smile on your face. Sounds like the manager wasn't doing anything to help the situation either, so it's not terrible he had to show up to address the meltdown on Christmas Day. 

Check out some more juicy revenge drama with this property manager who was terrible, and ended up getting canned.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. Maybe. We assume nothing. Anyways. People have always been churning out roasts. The dedicated masters of the proper roast, take no days off. This history student, Rosie White, shared a Twitter thread that points out how Victorian Valentine's Day cards were basically passive aggressive roasts. Beautiful. Great for the people you deem most special in your life. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their experiences with Valentine's Day fails. The "holiday" can generate quite the buildup of anticipation. With all that pressure that can go into engineering the "perfect" Valentine's Day date, the tense environment can be ripe for fails. These people did not have things exactly work out in their favor. 

Not everyone's NYE went smoothly. This guy found himself in quite the predicament, after a little trip down to Mexico for the miles. Thankfully, the kindness of perfect strangers helped him out in a miraculous kind of way.
