Realtors... amirite?

A not-so-gentle approach to mitigate a lack of parenting

Don't you sometimes wish you could say whatever you want to your boss, without thinking of the repercussions? Perhaps we could come up with a workplace ‘purge day’, in which everyone could do and say whatever they wanted at work, and then all will be forgotten the next day. Some employees don't need a day like that, as they are not afraid to put people in their place, even their bosses. Take the employee in this Reddit story for example. If I were told by my boss that I have to accept a $1 rais…

When we were kids, we were constantly told to always listen to the adults in our lives, most importantly to our parents and teachers. We were raised in the belief that adults always knew what was right and wrong, so we should take their words as guidance through life. Unfortunately, that is often not the case, and surely now we can all think of examples of times adults were very much in the wrong, and went as far as taking advantage of their seniority over the kids in their lives, leading to ve…

Getting rejected or passed over for a promotion that you've been promised for years is always going to leave a bad taste in your mouth. You might believe the words of your employer when they tell you that your efforts will one day lead you to a higher role. And, yet, every time the opportunity presents itself to promote you, they go with someone else, and you're faced with that, no matter what their intentions might have initially been, they're dangling a carrot on a stick out in front of you t…

Protecting yourself should always be your number one priority in the working world. This story serves as yet another reminder of that fact, which applies to all industries, but in this case, we're talking about a diligent lawyer and his pompous client. This thread was posted to Reddit by Calledinthe90s , who recounted a story involving his client, Frank. Frank worked for a real estate corporation that was seeking money after one of its buildings collapsed. Frank was warned by the Original Poste…

Never underestimate the power of a wronged dude with nothing to lose. After a portion of his ranch was destroyed, this farmer learned that the cause was a flaw in the electrical line that resulted in his fence catching fire. He tried to reason with the electric company, but they refused to grant him any compensation despite the fact that he was entitled to it and had confirmed with his wife, a lawyer who specializes in such cases, that he deserved repayment. The manager at the company assumed t…

Up next, these scorned exes got some very petty revenge on their former partners , like one person who admitted they “took all of the knobs and handles off of everything—TV, dresser, stereo...”

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…

Some neighbors really think they can get away with just about anything. We've seen various iterations of this problem, whether it's stealing packages to spying on one another. However, this neighbor really took things too far and managed to build an entire house on the wrong side of the property line. We're pretty shocked that this Redditor had no idea this was happening until months down the road. It turns out this was not his primary home, so he didn't notice during the winter months when con…

There's always a bigger fish… No matter how big or small you are, you can almost take solace in the fact that there's always going to be someone bigger or better than you at something and will soon come to take your place. This is a real worry to the big fish out there who are desperate to maintain their status as top dogfish. In this way, sometimes being the smallest fish is beneficial because all the other fish are so much larger than you that they consider you to not be a threat or even wort…

Although he was forced into a surprise early retirement, this lawyer got the last laugh! After that, read about the tiny things that bother people way more than they should, like one person who thinks everyone should always “ throw away your trash at the movie theater .”

We all have paranoia about sharing our locations with friends and family indefinitely. What if a friend finds out I'm at a party they weren't invited to? What if my mother sees that I'm home and therefore thinks it's ok to pop by? These are all valid concerns that are worthy of strong consideration before agreeing to share your location with someone in your life. Now, imagine that the stakes were higher and the person requesting that you share your location with them is your boss. Wouldn't you…

When you find yourself in hot water with the law, it always helps to have a good lawyer by your side. We all hope to avoid legal trouble for all our days. Whether it's a small offense like arguing a speeding ticket, or a bigger offense that could result in jail time, having some legal counsel can help you avoid big mistakes. People who decide to represent themselves in court often make their situations much worse. I know that the urge to stand up and defend yourself is strong, but in these case…
