How hard is it to maintain a business that actually operates according to the law, and does not try to scam their customers? Is scamming customers even worth it? You would think it would have been much better to secure a deal that works for both parties than to lose customer after customer once they realized they were being scammed. Take the car dealership from this Reddit story as an example. After a customer (OP, original poster), inquired them about a car deal, he quickly realized the deal h…

Is this generation really the worst? In a now-viral story, a professor shared that while he usually tries to keep an open mind with his students as they're young and have limited life experience—but one particular conversation left him convinced that today's generation has officially hit a new low. But if we're being honest, every generation has its cringey moments. Gen Z may have influencers, but millennials had their MySpace profiles, and Boomers? Well, let's just say we all have our share...

"This gets met with more attitude so I ask if I’ll be getting paid sick time for the day I missed yesterday. He says no, not without a doctors note. . ."

Tipping culture these days has gotten... a little out of hand, hasn't it? It feels like someone's asking for a tip everywhere you turn—whether it's your barista, the takeout app, or even the self-checkout machine at the grocery store. And it's not just about the ask. It's the guilt. That little screen that pops up after you pay, staring at you, daring you to pick anything less than 20%, even if you just ordered a single donut. Sure, tipping for good service is a no-brainer. We want to support...

"This ended up with another lawsuit against the HOA president personally by the original homeowners, who also filed to dissolve the HOA completely."

"We live on a street with no sidewalks, so everyone has ditches for drainage. She never cleans her despite having huge trees dropping sticks and leaves into it, so her yard floods when it rains. She's blaming us for that."

No matter where you work, security checks are always important, and should not be taken lightly. We should be grateful that we are taken care of in that regard, and that we feel safe when we go to work every day. That being said, security checkpoints can get a little bit annoying, especially if the guards there are not nice people. For example, the employee in this Reddit story found a clever and funny way to get back at a demanding X-ray guard at their place of work. OP (original poster) works…

When you go out to eat at a restaurant, do you wait at the entrance for someone to seat you, or do you go inside on your own and just sit at an available table? If the first option is your answer, congratulations, you are a decent human being. However, If you behave like the second option, we recommend you reconsider your choices in life, as that is simply not okay. The server in this Reddit story had to deal with some entitled guests who refused to wait to be seated. Despite clearly noticing t…

Why is it that when employees quit, they usually have to stay at their job for at least another two weeks, but when they get fired, they leave the same day without any additional work? Those two weeks since you hand in your notice and until your actual last day are always extremely awkward. Everyone at the office knows you quit, and basically have no interest in working with them anymore, the actual work you do feels pointless, and your manager is probably trash-talking you behind your back. Is…

What do you do when your neighbor expects to use your Wi-fi for free?

"I spilled coffee onto my clothes. Never make that mistake again. I brought brownies in. Never do that again, people could have allergies."

Shoutout to the HOA that thinks kids playing with chalk is vandalism

‘You’re not the boss of me' is normally a sentence you would hear a child tell their parents or friends. You would not expect to hear this sentence in a workplace when a boss tells it to one of their employees. Yet, there are managers out in the world who behave like literal children in their workplace, and nobody bats an eye. They love their power, hate relinquishing control, and sometimes just bully their employees for fun. Take the boss in this Reddit story for example. OP (original poster)…

For some unknown reason, there are employees who do not feel the need to use all of their PTO. They are fine with their PTO just sitting there, not being used for what it is meant to do – give people a break. I am a firm believer that PTO is there to be used, and I don't think I ever let a year pass by in a company without using all of the time off I am entitled to. For one, because how can a person go through an entire year without taking time off? And second, because letting it just sit there…

Having a conversation with your boss asking for a raise is something employees should seriously prepare for, and not take lightly. One should come with receipts and proof of all the hard work they've been putting into the company, while also providing data that supports their claim for more pay. The more prepared you are for this conversation, the higher your chances of actually getting what you are after. Even so, many employees get denied when asking for a raise, and then they have to decide…

Your first interaction with the people you intend to work with says a lot about the workplace you are about to enter, and it should not be ignored, no matter how much you need a job. If you sense that a job, or more specifically, a manager, interacts with you in a matter that raises red flags, you should definitely reconsider your position there. Luckily, the person who wrote this Reddit post was in a position where they could say ‘no’ to the position they were being offered. After receiving a…
