There's a whole lot you can get yourselves worked up about in this world… and salads aren't generally one of them. It's really not all that big of a deal to pay for food that you've taken, especially when it's a couple of leaves of lettuce. The vibes you usually get from salad lovers are chill and wholesome, though there is absolutely room for overlap in that group for people who seem to give off those vibes when they're really just masking how woefully entitled they are. It's hard to believe t…

These two friends aren't going to be on speaking terms for much longer… It's hard watching your friends make the wrong choices in life. You love them and want the best for them, but they'd rather date some awful dude or stay at a job that they hate. It's always easier to judge someone when you're not in their shoes, but when it's your friend, you have to be cautious with what you say. Otherwise, you risk offending them and losing their trust. If you flip out when they tell you personal news jus…

Group chat decorum can be a source of plenty of tension among teams in the workplace. Sometimes, people spam channels with far too many messages that end up only affecting one or two individuals. No one needs to be getting all those notifications. Then, there are folks who choose to take the opportunity to criticize someone else's work as an “example” rather than privately messaging them. Nine times out of ten, this is not actually about giving the whole team a worthwhile lesson. Instead, it's…

Another work day, another pointless meeting...

If you don't try to push the limits, you'll never know what you can get away with. That's apparently what these employees thought before they shrugged their shoulders and did some absolutely crazy things while on the clock. Many employees take pride in their work, and take care to show up in a nice outfit and have a good attitude. Others don't care that much. Their bosses are lucky if they show up a half hour late and are wearing their uniform. Some folks just live life day by day, and they'll…

Being a server means that you have to deal with a ton of unnecessary behavior from coworkers, managers, and especially customers. However, having to pay the price (in this case, quite literally) for a dining and dashing incident is about as bad as it can get. Here, we have a server who got lectured, belittled, and reprimanded by his manager after a table of 11+ customers managed to get away with ditching the restaurant without paying. First of all, we cannot help but empathize with this server…

This overnight caregiver probably had many late-night 14-hour shifts to imagine the perfect revenge against his CEO after discovering that the company was trying to hoodwink the workforce into relinquishing their right to their generous PTO policy. And that's a decision that will haunt the company's accountant's dreams for years to come after this thorough employee is finished with them in court…

Would you turn down $200k if you knew it would uproot your entire life, demolish your inner peace, and potentially send you spiraling?

It doesn't matter where you personally stand in your workplace environment; you do not owe anyone your food. This employee had a toxic coworker, who for the sake of this story was renamed Lisa. Lisa tended to look over the Redditor's shoulder at what they prepared for lunch. One day, the employee brought leftovers from her anniversary dinner with her husband. Of course, it took very little time for Lisa to notice and ask for a bite. This time, the employee didn't have very much left and refused…

These people have quit their jobs… and they have some really good reasons for that big decision! Up next, read about the exact opposite scenarios: these employees were fired on day one, for reasons like, “They are literally chasing a beaver around in their golf cart .”

This person's boss seems way too obsessed with what she's doing in her spare time. More specifically, her boss just cannot let her take any time off without bugging her constantly! Some managers are so obsessed with keeping their workplace running that they start treating the workers like they're robots instead of human beings. Robots never need a break, but humans do. Robots have no feelings, but people can be bothered by incessant demands from their bosses . That's why many companies provide…

Always be careful how you speak with someone! Let this story serve as a friendly reminder to never assume you are better than anyone, especially at a networking event where that other person could very well have been the key to a job opportunity. This actress , who was clearly suffering from main character syndrome (like many people in show business), was at a networking event and had been talking endlessly about herself to a stranger. She was giving the energy of wanting to speak to someone “m…

The reality of the hiring process meeting expectations takes place on both sides. The entire process has such a ridiculously excessive performative requirement that there's no way either party can live up to all of the gassing up they've been doing. There is sure to be more time spent completing monotonous tasks than the interviewer implied, with also less room for growth and creative freedom than you might have been led to believe you would receive. Similarly, your employer might come to find…

No matter how awful your job might be, you should take comfort in the fact that you do not have to look for one. It seems like every time we hear about the job market and the chances of securing a job these days, it just keeps getting worse and worse. If you are looking for a job currently, take comfort, as this story might give you some tips on how to properly secure a job. OP (original poster) sent their application to a firm through a recruiter and was told by that recruiter that the firm de…

It's always baffling when customers don't check the price of the items in their shopping cart before arriving at checkout. Or better yet, why wouldn't this customer check how much money she had on hand before leaving her home and picking up $800 worth of merchandise at the store? In addition to what ultimately transpired when this entitled customer showed up at checkout, she also managed to spend over seven hours in the store picking up items to add to her cart. This is not only strange and que…
