‘I stopped coming into the office’: HR never approves employee’s Work From Home requests, he stops coming in anyway

‘I stopped coming into the office’: HR never approves employee’s Work From Home requests, he stops coming in anyway

It’s always amusing when employers seem to go out of their way to make it seem like going into the office matters to them… and then as it turns out, they don’t even have the bandwidth to monitor their so-called policies properly. Here, we have a company that kept ramping up their “return to work” policies to more and more mandatory days in the office. Now, this employee had been a hardworking member of the team for several years and had actually seen a boost in productivity with the hybrid and…

Parents object to 16-year-old getting a job after they repeatedly refuse to pay for the care of his 3 younger siblings, aged 12, 10, and 7 years old: 'I reminded them that they get what they pay for'

Doing chores and contributing to the household is just a part of being a member of the household, especially as you get older. The harsh reality is that when you're a teenager, soon the gloves are going to come off, and you're going to be faced with the harsh reality that surviving day to day as an adult requires 10x as much effort just to maintain functional normality as you anticipate when you're a kid at home. Plus, your parents are doing these things daily just to keep the family (what ofte…

‘I gave my answer and that’s that’: Employee refuses boss’s insulting request to stay late to paint the office

If it’s not within your job description, you should have a right to say no. This employee was not a professional painter by any means, and yet, his boss seemed to have the audacity to ask him to stay late to paint the office before the owners came to visit. Now, at the very least, he offered overtime pay, but he even suggested that the Redditor bring his wife so she could be another set of hands as well (mind you, the original poster’s wife is not an employee there). Thankfully, OP had enough c…

'It’s just a little longer wait': Entitled woman uses express checkout lane for full cart of groceries, petty shopper gets revenge by blocking her car in the parking lot

Nothing stirs up grocery store rage quite like the "10 items or less" lane offender. When one shopper noticed the woman in front of him breaking the rule with a cart load of items, he tried to politely call her out. But this lady wasn't having it, brushing off his remark and saying, "It's just a little longer wait." Then, her kids joined in on the chaos, running back and forth to add even more items to her pile until she had officially annoyed everyone in line, including the cashier.

Guy leaves 1-star online review after discovering reckless driver's small business: ''Your conduct when representing the business needs improving'

When there's a reckless driver on the road, one's first instinct is presumably to protect oneself and to protect the others on the road. However, this Redditor deserves some props for not only doing that but also for finding a way to enact some safe yet satisfying petty revenge. Here's how he pulled it off. The reckless driver in question was also not the smartest person in the world, as he plastered his car with lots of personal details such as his name, phone, and website. That's because he's…

This resident's step-grandmother deserves a shoutout! After all, she had the chutzpah and the audacity to confront her step-grandkid's Karen neighbor after she repeatedly treated him like poorly and thought she could get away with it. Thankfully, the kid had a secret weapon: his 82-year-old arthritic relative. For some more backstory, the Karen next door had a habit of actively dumping debris into the Redditor's garden.

'My partner has just plowed through something that I purchased in 24 hours': Couple has intense argument after boyfriend uses the whole salad dressing bottle

Most people in relationships will tell you that the biggest arguments can stem from the most unexpected, seemingly harmless things. However, as the Redditor who shared this post mentioned, it's not really about the minutiae; it's about the bigger picture. In this instance, the bigger picture here is the fact that the original poster (OP) is the breadwinner and the person who foots the grocery bill 99% of the time, and yet, her very simple requests have not been respected. Essentially, OP purcha…

'Cut me in line?': Babysitter and 3-year-old kid get back at entitled line-cutting Karen by blocking her from leaving the parking lot

It's not fun to call out a line cutter. In fact, most folks do not consider confrontation with strangers to be their strong suit, and yet sometimes, there is no other alternative but to call these people out on their nonsense. Here, we have a babysitter who was purchasing a toy with the 3-year-old she was taking care of at the time. When it was their turn at checkout, the 3-year-old accidentally dropped the toy, which gave the impatient Karen behind them the opportunity to cut the line and insi…

Making adjustments to your schedule and going out of your way to accommodate and do favors for others only to have them cancel on you at the last minute or throw it back in your face is going to make you like not to do it again. Really, no one can blame you for that—well, except that same disgruntled and entitled friend or family member who is coming back around looking for another favor and expecting you to drop everything at a moment's notice for them again. Sure, it's great for parents to ha…

'How do you like snakes?': Neighbor strikes back after Airbnb guests constantly wander onto his property, shares true stories of 30+ snakes living in rental house

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

'Time is money': New boss enforces efficiency policy, backfires as employees start making mistakes, boss's job is on the line

Sometimes, the best kind of leadership is stepping back when things are working perfectly fine. Here, we have a new boss who came from a more fast-paced startup environment. He decided that the best way to get his team members to like him was by enforcing an entirely new policy without their input that would prioritize efficiency over everything else, including quality. This was the kind of guy who didn't like any hint of hesitation, so this Redditor complied, albeit maliciously. He knew that a…
