stressful

Someone on AskReddit asked for parents that accidentally switched their kids to share their experiences. Can't imagine the kind of embarrassing panic that must've ensued after these discoveries. 

People often find after they're hired that their job description doesn't cover nearly as much as what they're actually expected to do. Already stretched to the limit with a dwindling and under-qualified staff, this guy was asked to "do his job" so that's exactly what he did. People have different responses to being bullied at work, like this employee who prank fires themselves or this guy who stood up to his boss who didn't allow sick days.

Man, to have been the tech support involved with this conundrum. What started as an innocent enough update from the customer about the online ordering system not working, ended up evolving into a full on mess. Technology can be wildly frustrating like that. One little piece being moved around can bring the whole dang tower toppling down. 

Check out some more tech support drama with this belligerent customer who wouldn't cooperate with tech support.

Well isn't this just someone's worst nightmare. Can you imagine being busy trying to figure out the gift process for this upcoming Christmas, when suddenly you drop the kind of microSD card that could trigger a full family meltdown under the tree. And to make matters even more nightmarish, you have no idea where it is. 

Usually it's an incompetent boss who can't do their job, or a rude manager who doesn't value their employees. Sometimes it's unsafe working conditions. Other times it's outside stress, or just the work itself that's unbearable. These are the final straws people had that made them move on. Turns out, these moments aren't that rare.

Some serious high stakes situations going on here. You can feel the adrenaline surging through these panicked stories. 

The kind of knowledge we'd all (definitely) have been better off never picking up in the first place; except for that whole part about stifling the sneezes. Whatever you do, DON'T stifle a sneeze. Oh, and make sure that one side of your bed is uneven.
