'As a joke I put in... two extra zeros': Trucker gets paid $1500 an hour to unload his own trailer

This person managed to make a true American dream come true: making four figures per hour . Making $1500 per hour is something that most people dream about, but never achieve.

Then, you take all your friends to the movies and to laser tag. Then, once your first day of fun is over, you start saving up for down payments on houses or cars. Life c…

Trucker accosted by driver who asks to speak to their boss: 'I kind of smirked at him'

Trucker accosted by irate driver who demands to speak to their boss: 'I kind of smirked at him and told him... he wouldn't like what my boss would have to say'

This truck driver couldn't believe what another driver was upset about. At least they had the ultimate loophole for getting out of almost any work-related scenario. The trucker in this story was driving their 18-wheeler through Texas when they encountered an angry driver. As a trucker, you have the unique privilege of getting to blow that extra-loud horn whenever someone bothers you. A regular car horn is a little loud, but the horn on an 18-wheeler can be heard for miles. It must be so satisfy…

'Whatever you want, boss': RV dealership owner tells employee snow removal 'isn't a priority,' customers get hit with snow

These bosses decided to let their employees work harder, not smarter. Too bad their customers paid the price for their negligence! It's a snowy day, and you're driving to work. You, as a good citizen, took the time to grab your snow brush/scraper and spent like 20 minutes clearing all the snow off the roof of your car. Then, as you're on your way to the office, the car in front of you has a foot of snow on its roof. You have to swerve to avoid them as little chunks of snow fly off behind them!…

‘Do my job, okay': Young worker uses forklift to move company reps car onto a stack of pallets after rep obstructs trucks access to loading dock

People working on the loading dock know how frustrating it is when others show up and park their cars in a way that obstructs access to the trucks that are supposed to arrive. In this case, a young worker was working at a loading dock that was expecting a big load of tech and products for a new office layout, and they were beginning to get a lot of equipment. OP's boss informed them to keep the trucks coming and going as smoothly as possible. OP's job was to get the unloaded company pallets and…

'She hammered on the hood, put a dent in it': Entitled woman runs into occupied parking spot, ends up paying for damages

If you've ever had a car, then you know that finding a parking spot can be the bane of your existence. But there's good and bad ways to go about finding a spot. The good way is, if you can't find one then you simply leave the lot and find parking elsewhere. Super easy and devoid of conflict! The bad way is, you physically run into the spot in order to save it. This is exactly what happened to OP when he pulled halfway into a spot and a wild Karen appears out of nowhere to try and hold it with h…

Concrete makes up our sidewalks and roads, houses and stores, and even huge things like bridges and overpasses. This dude shared their malicious compliance story about what happened when they decided to reject the status quo. I give th…

'[I] let the air out': Guy gets even with aggressively parked lifted truck driver who parked too close to his vehicle

There's something about driving vehicles that gets that “monkey rage” part of our brain all riled up, just simmering there, ready to do unspeakably feral things as if we're suddenly no more socially developed than a caveman during the caveman days… If you ask an expert (I'm not one), they'll probably tell you that it has something to do with the degree of separation we experience when we're cruising around in the relative safety of our own two-ton metal box that is continually propelled by a se…

'Orders were backed up. Trucks were waiting… New Manager is almost in tears': New hire tells long-term employee that he should come in "on time," employee watches as warehouse melts down

This long-time employee was wise beyond his years as he let a new hire try to make changes in their company's warehouse . He knew that you can't always make people listen to common sense. Some people just want to be correct 100% of the time so that they feel powerful. Instead of wasting his breath on arguing, this long-term employee just shrugged his shoulders and let the manager handle it his way. New hires often feel like they have something to prove. Especially managers---they think that sin…
