It's giving middle school behavior, not workplace professionalism. When it comes to office dynamics, it can be common for some healthy, playful teasing among coworkers. This kind of behavior is always risky, though, since there's a fine line between teasing and bullying. Furthermore, this is a work environment and not a friend group hangout. Teasing of any kind can be quickly misinterpreted. Now, when it comes to this group of terrible coworkers, we think it's crystal clear that this goes far b…

Some employees strive to be incredible at their jobs, while others slack off. Managers are supposed to be the corrective authorities who praise folks working hard, while reprimanding the mediocre bunch, but in some cases, upper management gets confused. Bad managers are so detached from the workplace that...

Family members can be least grateful band of blood relatives out there. For some, they feel as if their genetic relations entitle them to special treatment, which sometimes it does, but when cousins, uncles, siblings, and grannies start taking advantage of their family members's niceties, blood-relations quickly turn bitter. In this case, a family run business was being extraordinarily generous to their kin...

People you work with will have certain expectations of you, and when given the opportunity, can cause a few inconveniences if and when you don't meet said expectations… in other words, people like to be petty. In this case, OP got as petty as petty can get, when she got a shot at making a former coworker's life a little harder than it needed to be. Back in the day, OP was working as a supervisor at a company, and her job included a lot of travel. There was a conference she needed to get to, so…

To a seasoned traveler, flight comforts are sacred and everyone has their little rituals that help dull their mind enough to endure 8 hours of sitting in the same confined seat. Usually those rituals include a little bit of peace and quiet to reach a meditative state, but when you're sitting next to a drunken human toddler on a long flight, tensions are poised to fly high.

Apparently, revenge is a dish best served cold, raw, and wrapped in rice. This woman was taking a week-long sushi cooking class and neglected to eat what she made at the end of the day, which made some of her classmates curious. When they asked why she hadn't eaten her sushi (and probably wanted to eat some of it themselves), they were not prepared for this lady's story. The Redditor recounted how this woman never enjoyed sushi and was merely taking the course because her husband is obsessed wi…

Some people are born to be good roommates; others are meant to stay away from all humans and live entirely alone. That may sound savage, but it's just the truth. When you start having to cohabitate with other humans outside of your immediate family, you should have to undergo some sort of personality test to see what the best kind of living situation might be for you. That way, you're saving yourself and any potential future roommates the trouble of having to passive-aggressively communicate to…

Don't get upset, get even!

This swimmer is going to have a very special pool, all thanks to their neighbors.

Living next to people in close quarters is never going to be a good time... Having restful peace punctuated by someone else's noise at late or early hours is enough to drive even the most reasonable person insane. With a higher density population also comes the risk of increased opportunity for disturbance, what with having more neighbors living in tighter spaces giving higher chances that you'll end up next to someone who is clueless about how audible their noisemaking is or just plain old woe…

Even the best laid plans can be stymied, as this person found out when they tried to throw a nice birthday party . This person did everything right when it comes to planning ahead for a party. As u/Diylion writes, they were throwing their in-laws a double birthday with ten people total. It's a common occurrence for large parties to book out restaurants, and this OP made sure they'd have space for the party several months in advance. Unfortunately for OP, this restaurant is seemingly having issu…

Dads always have some kind of problem with the neighbors. Perhaps the innate dadness of living in a neighborhood and showing your dadly dominance over the other dads, but at some point, there's a natural progression from friendly competition into neighborly rivalry.

Crawling out of the woodwork, clawing and muttering, at the slightest potential of securing the smallest amount of wealth, estranged relatives and old acquaintances come calling, feeling out avenues for any possible gain like vultures closing in on a fresh carcass where the lion still feeds. There's this thing that happens whenever there is money to be had that really brings out the worst people and the worst in people; if you've ever come into a sudden amount of wealth or handled the estate of…

These residents underestimated their neighbor, a retired engineer. As shared by u/soulslop, their father, who was the retired engineer in question, was not one to be messed with. So when his neighbor committed multiple neighborly mishaps, he got creative. This story certainly gives engineers a petty name, in the best way possible… and definitely will make people think twice before they throw their grass clippings into their neighbor's backyard. You never know who your neighbor really is… what i…

After moving in, this dude just wanted to take a quick break before they kept unpacking. If you've ever moved, you know what a massive task it is. You have to box up everything you own into what feels like one thousand boxes. Then, you have to transport all your belongings, or entrust a moving company to do it for you, and hope your precious items arrive intact. And finally, you then have to unpack all your stuff , and decorate your new living space. The OP of this story, u/cbing1010101, was in…

When spending time at a hotel, you allow yourself to comfortably leave things around, as you know that the hotel is being monitored by security cameras and staff at all times. Otherwise, you simply wouldn't pay to stay the night. In this case, OP was staying at a very expensive hotel, and when I say expensive, I mean that a standard room typically costs over $500 a night. So what happened to OP's slippers was kind of bizarre. OP was visiting the hotel spa, taking off his slippers and leaving th…
