'I'll make it so you can't get out!': Hooligans drive up closed road, hunter traps them in

Entitled and self-serving people flouting simple rules and common courtesies rarely go unchecked. While you might wish that karma would intervene, it's important to keep in mind that any time you come into contact with someone who is behaving in an unpredictable or antisocial way, the best thing you can do is not engage with them for your own safety.

It only takes one perceived slight for some people to reveal their true nature, their carefully crafted persona of a sane and calm individual slipping and revealing the chaos and hatred underneath. To be fair, a lot of people are wound pretty tight by their jobs and are often covering their mounting stress with the placid exterior of their working persona—but that still doesn't excuse this supervisor's extremely vindictive behavior retaliating against this worker for handing in their notice as…

Innovation is never rewarded in the workplace. For some reason, bosses, managers, and supervisors feel entitled to the intellectual property of their employees when they're on the clock, but when an irreplaceable worker creates something invaluable to the company, suddenly it's like we're on the recess blacktop again and the school bully is trying to steal your jump rope because 'they saw it first'...

But as it turns out, some real-life workplaces also embrace the chili cookoff spirit. When u/mndsm79 first faced defeat in his work chili cookoff, even though he knowingly deserved the crown, he hatched a plan for the ultimate chili redemption for the next competition.

'So I dyed my hair blue': Rebellious line cook gets tired of being blamed for hairs found in the food, she retaliates by dying her hair bright blue

Colored hair is insanely popular these days. No matter what you hear about the menty-b's required to bleach and dye your hair and unnatural color, sometimes colored haired people are the most level-headed. Perhaps it's the heady fumes of the bleach or the singing tingle on their heads that gives them mental clarity, but when you have pink, green, or blue hair the rest of the pieces in life fall into place.

Trying to work your way up the ladder by climbing on the backs of those you've betrayed, mistreated, or taken advantage of is a bold strategy… which is why it's often only attempted by imbeciles, psychopaths, and sycophants.

It's no secret at this point that most people deride group projects, which are often little more than an excuse by the teacher to make students occupy each other rather than have to teach for that week. But, fair enough, it's a lot of work having a lesson planned for every single day of the week. Especially when that's in addition to actually teaching and then grading that lesson. Teachers deserve the breathing space, and putting a bit of the onus of their own education onto the students isn't…
