Here we have a business trying to get a dude to work on a "trial basis" essentially giving them the ability to fire him and take credit for anything he does for them. Just so happens that like any other entitled folk, they aren't happy about it. What a bunch of gagoots. And saying you're "willing" to not pay someone is almost like if someone tried to Jedi mind trick you without using the force so it's just a jackass in a bathrobe waving his hands around. For some true shyster behavior, here's the entitled mom of 4 who tried to swindle her babysitter.

Hopefully at least someone involved in these wild series of conversations felt nothing short of immense gratitude over the fact that their business wasn't completely destroyed by a user that had the wherewithal to try out the password assigned to every user. It sounds like the company got by purely because nobody ever honestly thought that the password could be so obvious. Somehow, that whole approach to security seems like it can work sometimes. Just a bit of a gamble. For another ridiculous tech support tale check out the time that a customer thought that the internet runs on magic. 

Just in case you weren't already aware, home inspectors are at the literal frontlines for when it comes to making sure that new homeowners don't get completely screwed over. It's both highly discouraging and outright remarkable what kinds of nasty things that people will try to get away with when it comes to foregoing repairs on homes that are already treading in dangerous waters. Like that toilet story. Yikes. 

These are strange times. The world continues to change at what seems to be a faster and faster pace. Life as we know it could look like something right out of an infamous sci-fi movie in the near future. But also, apparently this is a time ripe for the rise of cults. Just a little bit unsettling.

I mean, in all fairness an accidental professional revenge is better than no revenge at all. It seems as if the world's unfortunately never going to run out of shady landlords trying to pull fast ones on unsuspecting tenants. So, I guess it falls on us to read up on those tenant rights, and then clap right on back with pro revenges when the opportunities present themselves. For some more landlord drama check out this tenant who staged a coup d'état on a terrible landlord. 

Oh boy, this sounds like a nasty Karen of a boss indeed. This guy put in a very reasonable request for a day off to attend a Slayer concert, and the request proceeded to set off a chain reaction of highly unanticipated toxicity. Fortunately, the guy was able to pull off a satisfying victory in small claims court. 

Grandpa wasn't playing games. One does not mess with anyone of respectable stature in a small town, without some serious ramifications. Earl clearly underestimated Grandpa's financial assets. We can't imagine how full Grandpa's heart must've been when he showed up to that garage with the local sheriff to break the news to Earl. 

Not all jobs are made the same. Looking for a job can be a dramatic adventure fraught with personal doubt and harsh self evaluation. It's a moment that inspires many painfully relatable job interview memes. Honestly it's weird that we have to name our own value as people and jockey with employers who would like nothing more than to get as much work out of us as possible for the least amount of compensation possible. Some jobs are definitely better than others, and it's apparent during the interview process. A lot of them are worth a "screw this, I'm out." 

Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like learning that you've been played by some manipulative, deceptive, straight up illegal scam. Unfortunately, the reality is that we share this world with many folks that are always proactively trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting victims. The good news though is that you can read up on a thread like this, and hopefully break free from the vicious cycle of falling for scams that Americans have been conditioned to accept. Along a similar vein check out this woman's wonderful experience with the Icelandic healthcare system. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various scams that people don't realize are scams. These might be helpful to have in the back pocket so that you don't fall prey to any of those sneaky scams. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the places that travelers will never go back to. Many of us have encountered those gnarly places that we'd just as much love to wipe our memory banks clear of. 

This guy's encounter with a dangerously believable scammer was something else. As it turns out, not all scammers are just fools getting trolled for their lazy, poorly calculated antics.
