This assistant is trying her hardest, but fundamentally misunderstands a lot of things. Some people are just like that: they're very bright in some ways Up next, read some utterly baffling admissions essays from hopeful students, like one kid who “wrote a 750-word admissions essay describing the smell of baked potatoes... I got in.”

Would you ever CC your boss's boss on an email? It's a bold move to make! This person, u/ShamyJane, was just utterly fed up with their boss's unfair behavior. By the time they wrote him and his boss an email, they must've lost all faith in his abilities to lead. It's a plead from the employee to the boss to please do something to change the working environment! It seems like the original poster only did this out of desperation… and a desire to see him get what he deserved for being so impolite…

Chess not checkers

When working in healthcare, you see people from all walks of life. From insanely rich folk to the homeless, medical mysteries to hypochondriacs, you never know what another day at the office will hold for you. Luckily for us, these doctors shared their wildest stories about patients who had such little common sense, they were surprised they survived this long. Sure, most of us don't know a lot when it comes to the medical field, but there are some basics we should know, like no, you cannot su...

Can anyone else smell a lawsuit coming? Imagine going on medical leave because of a series of upcoming scheduled surgeries. It's not like you're just on an endless vacation; you will be in recovery during this time. It will not be fun; it will be strenuous. It's not that you want to take a break; it's that you have to take a break. You simply cannot work in the way that you normally do. Now, imagine that your workplace is completely receptive to this need and is allegedly supportive of your cha…

We've all been through our fair share of workplace drama, or at least witnessed it from the sidelines, totally engrossed in Karen's fierce threats to the higher-ups, eagerly anticipating her to get the boot. Or something like that. You know, the usual office soap opera. But what about this? Have you ever actually d*ed, got shocked back to life by a defibrillator, and then tried to spend the next few months recovering from the surreal "life flashing before your eyes" moment? No? Well...

Your years of career expertise are no match for someone who watched three YouTube videos on the subject. Learning is a lifelong endeavor for some people. They always want to read up on new ideas and form new opinions based off what they're reading or watching at the moment. Sometimes, people think they're so educated on a topic that they know better than a person in that profession. From lawyers to healthcare professionals to software engineers , these professionals have all met ordinary folks…

Interns in training decided to take this senior doctor at his word. Too bad it totally backfired on him. They say aging is difficult — your body aches for no reason, you fall asleep in random places, and all the young people are talking about things you don't care about. Depending on the field you work in, however, seniority can be a great perk. If you're a professor, the more years you teach, the better your job security. And if you're a doctor, that's the exact path many professionals take to…

$14/hr for a medical professional whose job is saving other people's lives? If that's not cause for concern, I don't know what is.

Imagine making your own doctor visit longer on purpose. Some people get so convinced that they're right that they just turn off their ears and refuse to hear otherwise! This person shared their story to r/TalesfromRetail, though it does take place at the doctor's office where the OP and their supervisor worked. The OP shared that their supervisor is quite young, which some patients take to mean that she's not actually a supervisor. In the comments, people applauded the petty nature of the story…

You haven't experienced the true face of humanity unless you've worked at one point or another in customer service, and yes, that includes retail. The fact of the matter is, you can't indoctrinate someone for minimum wage and expect them to actually give a hoot about the job. It's not a secret, customers know this, management knows this, heck the workers themselves are well aware. Now, of course, there are the outliers, the people who care about their employment, the ones who make an effort to…

One guy's massive MRI goof is a window into curiosity and science. This video, shared by ericmartinmoney, is truly enlightening. It answers an age-old question, which surely terrifies all of us when we go in to get an MRI. The technician will ask if you're wearing anything metal, because the MRI is literally a giant magnet . You then take off your earrings or belt, and take a peaceful rest inside the machine as it makes noises at concert volume. But you never actually get to find out how powerf…

This woman really is a Christmas miracle.

“I believed my new dentist and 2 years later I have five crowns, two root canals—I have more pain NOW than before.”

It's as baffling as it is disappointing.

Outrageous medical bonanza
