Sometimes it feels like work takes up more of our free time than it should, and sadly, not many of us are given an opportunity to actually do anything about it. When this guy's self-titled "boss" told him that he'd have to work on vacation, he figured out a way to get what he wanted and also make it more miserable for the jerk who tried to tell him what to do. Check this out for a story of a guy who got petty email revenge on the company that fired him.

A UK steakhouse got some free publicity over the awesome fail of a server who mistakenly served a crazy expensive wine. Seems like a win to be the person who finished dinner and only afterwards realized they drank a bottle of wine that's worth a car. Seriously, each sip of that is worth like 200 dollars. Anyway, it seems like the restaurant was cool about the mistake, so that's nice.
Anyone who's worked on the floor of any kind of store is gonna be reminded of a time when there was a customer they just couldn't deal with. Thank god for the good managers out there. This one is weirdly reminiscent of that old story, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. For a triumphant retail story of someone in customer service who actually got to speak their mind, check out this cashier who told off a Karen and lived.
Where there's a will to be lazy and get paid, there's a way. Something in this list might very well be that way for you. But if you're truly lazy, reading this list is already going to be too much work, right?
Hot Topic employees have experienced a special kind of hell. They regularly deal with customers right out of anyone who has worked retail's worst nightmare. Buckle up and get ready for the Hot Topic work horror story madness!
We can't think of a worse pet sitting situation out there. This lady doesn't even promise the small amount of money she offers, deliberately withholds information about the dog's condition until after the sitter would have agreed, and then calls her weak for not wanting to totally derail her life for a hundred bucks. Absolutely phenomenal. We've seen people make insane lists of rules before, like this bride's friend who made a list for a bachelorette party.
This sounds like just a bit of a nightmarish place to work. The red flag is waving bright in this manager's idea about what employee's should be expected to do when it comes to "thank you" emails. Like, come on!
Apparently getting bats out of your house isn't as simple as spraying some poison around or throwing up a bat signal. Dave Hill found out first hand that bat removal is more of an art than a science. Ever get too "behind-the-scenes" and realize that no one really knows what they're doing, like ever?
These puzzled employers must've been speechless over the CVs we're considering here. That being said. Can we please hoist a cheers to the champion who dedicated his CV to bullet points about cheese.
Karma came around to collect. This is what you get when you don't pay up! The boss in this situation sounds like the absolute worst. Literally no ground to stand on when faced by the law.
Can't even imagine the look on this guy's face! Talk about your worst nightmare, when it comes to forgetting to clock out for a lunch break at work. No thank you. That being said, we're glad that it all worked out for this guy.
This guy's unforgettable job interview for a gig out in Silicon Valley took a weird turn, and ended with a hilarious, satisfying twist. Turns out those weird questions were outside the ordinary for the company...
This guy's Twitter thread about an "invisible advantage" he encountered when trading clients with his female coworker. The ensuing tweets are bound to stir up a cocktail of fiery opinions on the matter. What do you think?
It's seemingly inconsequential mistakes like this that keep us up at night. This dude could've had opportunity knocking at his door 2 years ago were it not for just a few small mistakes that made him invisible to potential employers. At least he figured it out eventually. Reminds us of this guy who literally lived in the dark for 6 years.
These victorious employees managed to get their toxic bosses fired. Get ready for all kinds of dysfunctional, power-corrupted BS in these tales of horrible bosses. We're not sure whether it was a matter of actual power getting to their heads, or maybe the power just accentuated the worser parts of their weak moral compass and character.
