Airport security can bring out the worst in people. Unfortunately for this passenger, he had to endure a packed security line where every flight was getting delayed and people were gracious enough to let folks with less time before their flights to get to the front of the line. Unfortunately, not everyone was gracious, and this passenger, who was already dealing with time constraints, was pushed and shoved by two impatient Karens, who just so happened to be on the same flight. After the Karens…

This person's boss seems way too obsessed with what she's doing in her spare time. More specifically, her boss just cannot let her take any time off without bugging her constantly! Some managers are so obsessed with keeping their workplace running that they start treating the workers like they're robots instead of human beings. Robots never need a break, but humans do. Robots have no feelings, but people can be bothered by incessant demands from their bosses . That's why many companies provide…

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…

We all probably made at least one New Year's resolution to start going to the gym and get in shape. We all also have many excuses why we end up not going to the gym at all. It's far, we don't have time, we wouldn't know how to use the machines, etc. This resolution is usually forgotten by February, but we can't help but feel a little disappointed in ourselves for not getting ourselves together and completing this task. Well, after reading this Reddit story, you are guaranteed to feel much bette…

Every kid awaits the day they finally move out of their parents' home and become completely independent adults. For some kids, that happens when they are 18, while for others it happens when they are 28, but eventually (most of the time), everyone must leave the nest, despite the challenges to do so. The challenge we speak of is for the kids and the parents alike, as both have to find the strength to let go of the other. The parents in this Reddit story have been finding it really hard to let g…

Moving out is a stressful process for anyone, but it can only be made worse when you're leaving on poor terms with your previous landlord. I remember having to leave my first New York apartment for a variety of reasons, one of which was the never-fully-resolved roach infestation issue along with the incessant leaking of our ceiling every time it rained. Despite doing everything in our power to get our property management to take the situation seriously, the conflict was never resolved and could…

Rules are rules, whether you ignore them or not. One concert-goer found this out the hard way , as u/VigilantInfidel shared in their excellent story of malicious compliance. You don't have to follow the rules if you can bend them without breaking them, but that doesn't mean you'll get away with it, either. This is especially true when it comes to security measures. For example, if you show up to the airport and you haven't read a single security measure , the TSA is going to take your bag and d…

One company must be confused about the meaning of “PTO." It stands for paid time off, aka those blissful days that some salaried employees earn to take vacation time without breaking the bank. There are few greater feelings than being relaxed on your vacation, safely away from your inbox and your boss, and still being paid for that. It's a lovely way to reward a company's hardworking employees. For u/ack1308, using vacation time wasn't that straightforward, though. They realized that the busine…

You put years into your career, sacrificing your own happiness to get ahead, hoping someday to save enough money for an early retirement. You volunteer at work, get to your shift on time, and even take on projects that have nothing to do with your job description or department… what don't you do to make it? Then, one fateful day, the company announced layoffs. That is, if you're lucky. If you aren't, you just show up at work to find your keycard doesn't work anymore. Then the security guard inf…

Have you ever heard the famous phrase 'Patience is a virtue'? Even if you haven't, it is not that hard of a sentence to understand–having patience is a good trait to have. You would think that it also would not be so hard to act accordingly and have patience in your day-to-day life. But that is often not the case. Especially when it comes to the neighbors in this Reddit story. OP (original poster), has a ring camera that records the front of their house, to make sure no one steals their package…

Depending on how long you have been impatiently awaiting support, customer service can truly seem like a never-ending nightmare. The person we are chatting with half the time has no idea who we are, why we are calling, or even if they have the authority to tackle the issue we are experiencing. The story that follows is an account of a clever customer who is tired of being inconvenienced by customer service representatives. To put things in perspective, OP is a business owner who decided to relo…

Would you go to great lengths to get a bagel? Because this group of lawyers would. Store-bought bagels are nothing compared to freshly baked ones. If you have to pass a bagel shop on your way to work every day, that makes the temptation even stronger. Suddenly, you find you've become a bagel connoisseur as you sample all the different varieties the shop has to offer. The only breakfast better than that is a free breakfast provided by your workplace! This dude works as a chef. That means they ha…

It's important to be careful with your wording over text, especially if you're delivering an ultimatum to your ex. This woman was trying to threaten that if her ex didn't come to clean their apartment before he moved out, she would keep all of their security deposit. The trouble was that he had no interest in doing all of the work and was pleased to let her take the money. She did not anticipate that he might maliciously comply with her demands in a way that would make her have to clean the apa…

Ever had a lousy boss or a job that you absolutely hated ? Well, imagine working at a place with a jaw-dropping 92% turnover rate. Yup, you heard it right. Our OP, in ten whole months, took just one, yes ONE day off, and it was actually just a half-day. Why? Well, he had a nasty sunburn that turned into sun poisoning. So, when he informed his boss that he had to bail out in the middle of his shift for a doctor's appointment, his boss couldn't help but chuckle. Sunburn wasn't a good enough reaso…

Metal concerts are intense. For anyone who loves accidental punches to the face, getting their toes stomped, and eating the floor before having a 250lbs man help them back to their feet knows that a mosh pit is not a place for the weak. And it's certainly no place for a small child.

If you have to fight for a parking space at work, your employers are not taking care of you. That was certainly the case for this Redditor , who worked in security at a luxury hotel that had one parking lot for all employees and guests. When his employers updated the policy to ensure that at least one-fourth of the spaces were reserved for employees, OP and his coworkers were told to apply for parking permits. Now, if you don't necessarily drive the same car to work every day, you would run int…
