The office food thief can count their days, because this person has discovered a genius way to get back at the dude stealing their lunch. This person's coworker Mike has sticky fingers. He's constantly pilfering food from the office refrigerator , but the human resources team has thrown up their hands and said there's nothing they can do to stop him. Eating someone else's food seems really embarrassing to me: it implies that not only can you not remember to bring lunch , or can't afford to eat,…

Pretty sure that's illegal...

Stealing has its consequences.

It is funny how nothing stops you from having packages delivered to any random house, as long as you know the address. There is little to no reason to do so, but if one wants, they can send anyone anything with only a few clicks on their phones. Apparently, some people have packages delivered to other people's houses as a form of scam—they send the packages to another house, wait a few days, arrive to claim those packages, and then, if the person who received them already threw them out, they a…

"I told them I'd take that recording to the dean if they didn't make things right."

Although we love to judge managers here, being one is not an easy task. It is challenging to be responsible for multiple employees, as each step they take reflects directly to their manager. So when we hear stories of managers taking a hit because of something their employees did, we do feel for them, as we know that some managers are just trying to do their jobs as best as they can, just like the rest of us. When the manager (OP, original poster) in this story discovered one of their employees…

“[He left] a note stating if I can't do what was agreed upon he would evict me.”

When traveling, whether it's for business purposes between states or a long-distance trip to the chilly alpine slopes of Switzerland, it's necessary to adhere to airline etiquette. The story below is an account of a frustrated traveler. The original poster (OP) had just returned home to Seattle from Florida. In the story that follows, OP describes his interaction with an entitled couple who attempted to steal his designated seat. They tried to claim the seats as their own at first, but when tha…

When we were children, we were taught so many simple rules that as adults years later, we can appreciate as really important life lessons. Even if it was something as simple as - ‘treat others like you would want to be treated yourself’, or ‘honesty is the best policy’, we carry those lessons for our entire lives. Another silly lesson that we all know is ‘finders keepers’, which might not be the best and most accurate lesson to learn, but is definitely something we should all consider in some c…

Don't steal someone's seat unless you're prepared for a little backlash.

Pest control 101

Stories like these make it completely understandable why some people decide to move away and live in the middle of nowhere, with no one else nearby. This is the perfect example of how impossible neighbors can be, which sheds light on the reality of having to deal with some really crazy people right outside your doorstep. This Reddit story was told by a resident who saw her two neighbors arguing out on the street. Curious, she went outside to see what the commotion was all about. Apparently, nei…

Do you ever wish you could take karma into your own hands? Unfortunately, life doesn't always give us opportunities to play with our tormentors, but for the brewery bartender in our next story, the karmic cookie crumbled in his favor after he caught a coworker red-handed stealing his tips.

This person already didn't love gardening, but then their neighbors started stealing from them … That just made the situation even worse. A lot of folks find gardening to be a peaceful way to connect with nature. The pros are that you get to watch living things grow, and if you're lucky, you'll get to eat the literal fruits of your labor. Even if all you grow is a handful of string beans or a few teensy tiny tomatoes, they taste better because you're the veggies' parent. You raised it from seed…

The tipping culture these days is something that has definitely gotten out of hand. Setting aside the ridiculous expectations that people should be tipped for even the smallest of services, even hardworking waiters and servers should be getting their money from their employers, and not have to rely on tips from customers. Still, this is how things are, and a large percentage of waiters' income is in fact, from tips. Which is why this Reddit story is so infuriating. OP went out to dinner with th…

A server's credibility is a fragile, yet desperately important thing to maintain if you're a restaurant manager. You wouldn't want to scare off the last of the good ones over a feeble hunch… right? Well, that's exactly what one hot-headed manager did in our next story.
