Sometimes you realize the gig ain't for you way too far down the road! These people dove headlong into jobs they thought were meant for them, only to learn that their bodies or brains just weren't on the same page. The results are their own kind of Fails, but it sounds like most of these folks are better off!

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.
When you're at work, you don't have the time or energy to get in a real fight, so people opt for more passive aggressive means of debasing each other. So here's all the things people have heard or told morons that amount to the sheer fury of the phrase "as per my last email." Work can be brutal.
Lord help the customer service representative who has to deal with the customer who thinks they're always right. These stories are a mixed bag. Sometimes the insane customer gets their comeuppance, and sometimes they just benefit from their frustrating behavior. If you wanted to read more manager stories, then here you go.
This poor, freshly stressed employee was just trying to do the right thing, when he went to touch a headshot. Thing is, he did so, without permission; and the terrible timing that ensued, put him in some hot water. This is a fine example of the fallout that can storm a seemingly innocent situation, when someone finds himself caught up in a, "this isn't what it looks like", scenario. We've got more of those, from a funny AskReddit, over here!
You can almost make out this employee's stress-sweat in the story, told. This story's the stuff of fever dreams. My hands get clammy just trying to picture myself in his nightmarish scenario.
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?
This woman's panicked story about showing up to a job interview after a rushed, productive morning is the stuff of nightmarish fever dreams. Seriously. Even then, it makes sense. We get caught up in the motions of our day, and sometimes through that movement we forget to look down and confirm that we are, in fact, carrying said motions out with pants on. I want to take a moment to commend her for returning the coat hanger too. That alone is a green flag for a company considering hiring her!
Never underestimate the excruciating cringe that can ensue mid-meeting when you let one rip (unintentionally?...) or find yourself mindlessly staring off into space, at some else's crotch. Just hope your recovery time's enough for the fail to NOT be recognized.
Usually it's an incompetent boss who can't do their job, or a rude manager who doesn't value their employees. Sometimes it's unsafe working conditions. Other times it's outside stress, or just the work itself that's unbearable. These are the final straws people had that made them move on. Turns out, these moments aren't that rare.
You can feel the pain of their regret in this TIFU work-related fail tale. Turns out those vaguely irritating emails from the company about crazy things like "open enrollment", can come at a great cost to you, if you ignore them.
Gotta love these stories. You get to enjoy the drama without having to have actually "witnessed the event." It's all fun and games until you compromise the safety of everyone around you. Not surprisingly, commenters weighed in with their own feats of room-clearing strength. If your in it for hilarious fart-themed stories, try this bombshell moment on for size.
Twitter was more than ready to applaud, @JonQuiQui's hilariously unplanned photo-taking fail. He was just a new and hungry and excited employee ready to capitalize on the milestone of his first day at work, with a flower-packed pic of good feels. As it turns out, he might've jumped the gun on just who those flowers were intended for...
This employee went digging for laughs, and came up with an angered anti-vaxxer boss, who believes big pharma's are just trying to control your ind and body. It was an unanticipated tirade, and the uncomfortable silence that must've ensued when she finished making her points about vaccines being a cause of autism, had to have been powerful...
Just cause you find yourself in a moment of great, impossible stress doesn't mean that the manager -- wherever they might be hiding -- is going to see you about the problem you've dug up, real or imagined. Sometimes though, when the sh*t does in fact get real, and you're not leaving some bullsh*t-stained review to diminish an establishment's online reputation, you absolutely need to speak to the manager! These are some of those stories, that capture those moments.
