This person tried to do the right thing after making a major mistake, but their friend is acting strangely about the whole thing. It all started when tragedy struck: u/QualityProof visited their friend's home, plopped down on the couch, and realized they were sitting on a laptop . And not just any laptop, but a MacBook, one of the more expensive PCs out there. My immediate question is this: who leaves a computer on the couch when people are coming to visit? It's risky to do that in your own hom…

May we enter these memes into the evidence, your honor?

Zoom is very useful for some things, but it's really best to go to court in person if you can. It was a necessity during the dark years of the early 2020s, when we all needed to stay indoors and protect ourselves from illness. We suddenly found ourselves having Zoom holidays, with forty family members all trying to talk at once from their separate dining rooms. Instead of going to school in person, the kids spent a while getting their education via screens. Even things like doctor's appointment…

Don't mess with a judge. Bosses think they can get away with anything, and technically, they can get away with a lot, but they can't get away with messing with a judge. The person who attempted this was a hotel owner who told his maintenance worker that he was to do ‘whatever it takes’ to get out of jury duty. He then promptly told the worker that if he failed to do so, he would be fired. The worker was fine with serving, but he was scared of losing his job, so when he was called up to court, h…

This company just kept stringing their coder along without ever paying a dime. Working a side hustle has become the norm for many Americans. Inflation means that prices have never been higher. We're all renting instead of owning houses. Lots of millennials are even still living with their parents to save a few bucks! Even if you work 40 hours per week like this programmer did, it still might not be enough to cover all your expenses and have a little extra fun money. It wasn't enough for this du…

Are you guilty of anything on this list?

Anyone whose been in a courtroom before, knows how unnecessarily long proceedings can be. The slightest mishap can force everyone to start from square one. Well, that's exactly how this hearing that the OP voluntarily attended was going. Frustrated by the prolonged process, he decided he'd had enough and attempted to make an exit. When the judge ordered the man to stay, he compiled. Maliciously compiled that is.

We're always told, 'Don't judge a book by its cover', but that doesn't deter people from judging people based on how they look anyway. This sales rep made the mistake of her life when she refused a casually dressed customer service. OP was walking by a designer store when she noticed a cool backpack that caught her eye. She went inside and asked one of the employees if she could bring it out so that she could take a closer look before purchasing it. The sales rep basically scoffed at her and to…

Christmasssssssss is coming up, and I am per usual, per every year, per every decade, STRESSED. Running about to find gifts, gahhh, it's absolutely exhausting and my family is never happy with what I get them anyway, but it's not like I have a choice, because they would be way more offended if I didn't get them anything at all. So, you win some, you lose some. Now that I am done with my short holiday rant, let's get on to the unpopular opinions. Every so often, I make a point to post the most r…

Tada, November will be gone in a flash, and before we know it, December will be upon us with a big Christmas-y bang, and the holiday shopping season will have us scrambling between malls, trying to find the perfect gift for our family, friends, and loved ones. Christmas carols will be ringing in our ears, our eyes will be blinded by tall, beaming Christmas trees, and our mother will be calling us non-stop, making sure we got the yearly holiday invite as if we would dare not show up. Holidays ar…

This lawyer was all set to lose an open and shut case, until another attorney made a huge mistake . One of the first things your parents probably told you after you learned to drive was how to act if you ever get into a car accident. After making sure everyone is okay, you inspect your car and take photos, call the police, and phone up your insurance. And one major thing to know is that you shouldn't say sorry to the other person, because in a legal sense, it shows that you're admitting fault o…

Hello darkness my old friend

When you hit the hornet's nest with a bat...

May hit close to home.

A business owner just wanted his employee to work their normal hours, but jury duty got in the way. For every American, jury duty is a right of passage. Once you become an adult, there's a high chance you'll get called to do your civic duty to this country. For lots of us, the process never gets further than an initial letter or phone call to confirm we'll do the jury duty. Others have to go in to a court house for a few days waiting to find out if they'll be called, and still more will proceed…

Differentiating right from wrong isn't exactly a piece of cake, as everything depends on perspective, which we all know is subjective, making it difficult to determine said right from wrong. However, the proliferation of extreme opinions has led to the rise of the ‘oh so dreaded’ cancel culture, a merciless and unforgiving phenomenon where people basically tell you to shove it on every online platform that exists. Making mistakes is no longer acceptable, and personal growth feels unattainable.…
