Many people recommend that when you take a day off work, you should also take a day off your phone. Not because it is better for your mental health, but because that way, no one from work can actually reach you and start asking you for favors. This might sound extreme, but if I have a quiet Friday night at home, I usually completely turn off my phone and sometimes I don't turn it back on until midday on Saturday. Not only do I enjoy being completely present with my friends and family, but I als…

When one leaves a place of work, especially when they are unhappy in said workplace, they usually hope to leave everything about it behind. Nobody wants to be reminded of unpleasant bosses, or frustrating challenges they had to deal with as an employee, all people want to do is to move on and aim for a better place in the future. If an employee quits their job after they were wrongfully investigated for ‘unprofessional conduct', you can be absolutely sure they do not wish to reopen that can of…

Anyone who has ever been quietly fired knows how much that experience can get you down. Even if you hadn't been through that experience, surely you can imagine how awkward it can be when you know your boss is trying to squeeze you out of the company but doesn't actually say that to you because they want you to quit yourself. Unfortunately, I happen to know exactly what this feels like. Two years ago I was working for a company and thought I was doing a really good job. I only realized they want…

"Our across-the-street neighbors also have approximately 6 cars: 3 in their driveway, 2 inside the garage, 1 they park in front of the curb by my house."

"It took him a solid week to figure out why his car wasn’t moving."

Being a college student already puts you at a difficult starting point when it comes to your financial state. There is simply so much one has to pay for in college, and physically being in school also means you can't really work to pay for everything college demands. One of the most infuriating things colleges usually take money for is parking. Apparently, the tuition is not enough to secure a place to park on campus, so colleges resort to asking even more money for parking passes or permits. T…

Don't you love it when people act like they are a much bigger deal than they actually are? As if the whole world revolves around them even though all they do is sing in a small-town band nobody knows? That's right, no one likes people like that, and someone has to tell them that, otherwise they would keep wandering around thinking they are entitled to everything and everyone. Luckily, there are good samaritans out there who are willing to put entitled people like these in their place, like the…

Someone call the EPA!

"I remind him, that I agreed to a three cut minimum and no where in any of the conversations did the company specific a restriction on when."

There is a big difference between living with roommates and having a landlord and living with your landlord as a roommate. Nobody wants to do the latter, for starters. Having roommates is hard enough, imagine how unbearable it would be to have your landlord as a roommate, watching over your every move. If you are a landlord, and you are looking for roommates, I would definitely recommend telling them what they are walking into, because they deserve to know. That is what I would tell the girl in…

Accidentally accepting a fake bill is one of the most annoying things that can happen to someone who handles money as part of their job. No one wants to deal with the aftermath of finding out there are fake bills in the register, where the best case scenario is that the money will be deducted from your pay, and the worst case is immediate termination. The latter has happened to the employee in this Reddit story, and we can definitely understand their frustration in this situation. OP (original…

The first day of starting a new job is not at all as exciting as one imagines it to be. You always expect it to be a great new adventure and that people will welcome you with open arms, but that is often not the case. There are so many logistics when it comes to adding a new employee to a company, that the first day is usually just a chaotic bureaucratic mess, and you might go home at the end of the day and question whether or not you made a mistake. The important thing to remember is that ever…

"Craziest part about it is he’s going to be gone for a week despite complaining about availability issues."

Your inconvenience is not my problem.

"They didn't even offer to give it back after not letting us get it, they just took it and used it."

Anyone who has ever lived with another person had to deal with some kind of drama related to food. It is simply unavoidable. We are all so specific about our food, what, when, where, and how we eat, so when someone else gets thrown into the mix, chaos is bound to ensue. There are a few different approaches when it comes to food in a shared space. You can either buy everything together and split the costs, you can share nothing and have each of you buy their own food and keep it completely separ…
