Gaming can be a great hobby; it can be exciting, relaxing, and really get your blood moving in those tense situations that get the adrenaline pumping. Still, it lends itself to being taken a little to seriously; competitive passion can often turn into nasty toxic behavior towards the people on the other side of the screen. Some gaming communities, particularly the ones that require large investments of time to develop the skill to play the game correctly and rely heavily on team cooperation, le…

Why is it that so many businesses would rather lose $10 in the name of saving $1? Time and time again, extreme cost-saving measures end up costing more in the long run. This engineer left the company they worked for shortly after completing the installation of an important mystery machine (No, not the one from Scooby-Doo.) For some reason, the manager at the client's site kept their number and contacted them personally to come and rectify an error with the machine. They agreed that the engineer…

This seemingly dangerous story has an unexpectedly wholesome ending.

Sometimes the best way to confront a Karen is to give her a taste of her own medicine.

It's as if Kevin was begging to be called out!

Laundry room etiquette isn't something you can learn from a book or read in a magazine. You learn about laundry rules from being in the trenches at the laundromat, slinging quarters for an extra 15 minutes to nuke your clothes and still have them come out a little damp. The fury you feel after experiencing a laundromat faux pas is what teaches you right from wrong.

We love a harmless but amusing prank! In this case, this Redditor decided that the best way to get back at her husband when he annoys her (and she assured her readers that these are only for minor grievances) is to pull a prank using his music playlist. Her husband uses the music Apple curates for him while he works, so whenever he upsets OP, she plays a ton of crazy music on a low volume on their shared speakers so he doesn't realize it's her. However, she plays enough of it so that it complet…

The beauty about finally getting your own place is that you're a master of your own destiny, free to choose and do whatever you'd like… until your mother comes to visit. What is it with mothers rearranging their adult children's homes? It turns out (based on the sheer number of responses to this thread) this is a common occurrence. Many readers responded to the original story with stories of their own about their mothers doing the same (or similar) thing. Maybe this shouldn't be too surprising—…

A manager who makes exceptions only for his friends sounds like bad news. That's how u/kathjoy was treated by their boss Steve in a story shared to r/MaliciousCompliance. This OP shared that they worked at a supermarket and came down with a terrible flu. It makes no sense to go to work when you're ill. At best, you'll get five minutes of work done and spend the rest of the day drinking tea and trying not to fall asleep. At worst, you spread it to the rest of the office. By the next week, everyo…

There's nothing worse than making things worse for yourself when you're just trying to get some simple revenge.

Overnight shifts are brutal. You clock in at midnight and go home when the rest of the world is just starting to wake up. If you're not nocturnal, the 7am slump hits harder than Rocky Balboa after his training montage, and you're desperate to get home as soon as your shift is over. In this case, one overnight employee was brought to the brink after losing her patience with a coworker who was supposed to relieve her at the end of her shift.

Ah, the power of the one-star review!

There's nothing more violating than having your things taken from your own home, even if it's just on your front doorstep. For this reason, “porch pirates” are derided in neighborhood chats

Never cheat on a welder!

A stoppable force meets an immovable object—the makings of any classic story—like Batman, only not quite . Well, in this case, you end up with a broken baseball bat and a couple of angry idiots who have met their match with an indestructible hunk of metal. Redditor u/AQuietBorderline posted this story to r/ProRevenge about a group of college engineering students tasked with creating a mailbox that was virtually indestructible. This is exactly the kind of thing that needs to happen when a couple…

Sometimes the only way to make sure a job is done (and done right) is to do it yourself… Even when that job is taking a sledgehammer to the department copier to ensure that it's well, truly, and undeniably broken—whatever it takes to get the pencil pushers off their butts and get something useful accomplished. This hardened division lead shared their story on Reddit's r/MilitiousCompliance subreddit, a community for sharing malicious compliance from within the military. They report that they we…
