Bosses who are annoying about promptness should be focusing their attention on far more pressing matters. Whatever happened to focusing on their own tasks and responsibilities? Whatever happened to ensuring that the employees on their team are supported and fulfilled (well, as fulfilled as they can be given the circumstances of work)? Whatever happened to minding their own dang business? In work-related matters such as this, we often go back to our mantra that if the work gets done and gets don…

This new boss was ready to make some changes in the workplace, starting with this system administrator's daily schedule . Having a coworker who you're completely compatible with is such a blessing. There are so many types of personalities in the world that you're going to end up working with people of all backgrounds. So when you find a coworker who can make both of your lives easier, you know you've found a kindred spirit. This person had a great boss at first, as well as a coworker that he st…

Time is one of your most valuable possessions, but not everyone values it the same amount. Take this couple for example: they're chronically late , and aren't about to improve things any time soon. When a couple shared their experience with a double date gone wrong, it sparked a conversation about what it means to be late to every event. Some people will tell you that it's just how they are. They're always late to everything, despite their best efforts. Lateness also bothers some people more th…

On the list of people you want to annoy, your barber should be low on the list — your hair is in their hands. That didn't stop this entitled male Karen, who threw a fit at a barber shop for something that was his own fault. Having to put down a deposit in order to score a reservation somewhere is the best way to ensure I'm on time. These days, lots of places do this, from dentist's offices to salons to restaurants. It's extra annoying, sure, but who wants to lose money by being late somewhere?…

Overnight shifts are brutal. You clock in at midnight and go home when the rest of the world is just starting to wake up. If you're not nocturnal, the 7am slump hits harder than Rocky Balboa after his training montage, and you're desperate to get home as soon as your shift is over. In this case, one overnight employee was brought to the brink after losing her patience with a coworker who was supposed to relieve her at the end of her shift.

If you've ever worked in customer service, you know you have dealt with some dicey patrons. Not everyone has the guts to do what needs to be done with every customer confrontation and most folks lean on their one sassy manager who walks fast, talks loud, and shuts down every local Karen before they can get too ramped up. However, as a librarian, you can't necessarily strong-arm every bad patron with your big voice in the ‘Quiet Reading’ section.

Pick and choose your battles, dude!

Just have a little decency.

Relationships are weird.

Oh man.

The ol' gift card runaround.

Oh man.
