Some jobs are more unforgettably terrible than others. You can start up with a new gig that showed all appearances of being nothing short of your dream situation, only to learn that it's actually a waking nightmare, and that the boss is a completely maniacal lunatic. Or, maybe you'll end up dealing with a coworker who has impossibly obnoxious boundary issues. That's why it's key to keep a wary eye out for the red flags before you ever take on a new job. With all that being covered, let's take a look at what people had to say when it came time to share their most notable work horror stories on an emotional rollercoaster of a Twitter thread. 

Nothing can quite melt a fan's heart like meeting a celebrity that they absolutely idolize, and then not having the experience dampened by the obnoxious weight of a nasty ego. Celebrities are bestowed with quite a bit of power when it comes to making someone's day, or even giving them a cherished memory to last a whole lifetime. 

Co-Creator of Pathfinder @Jameslsutter has enough experience in fantasy cartography to know when a place is supposed to look believable or not. His diagnosis is that Louisiana has done a great job of convincing him that New Orleans exists when in fact it's laid out like a real not my job, "4:30 on a Friday" kind of map-making project. For fans of fantasy, here's a Tumblr thread on the theory surrounding Dwarves' super intelligent beards.

Little did you know, but there's a whole tidal wave of passion going into the whole "ugly fruit" cause. Yes, all you have to do is read this thread from Dr Sarah Taber, and you'll quickly see that there's some substance to the whole matter. 

Twitter user @PrismaticWastes decided to enlighten the world about how asymmetrical shopping mall maps actually translate beautifully for megadungeon maps. When you think about it, it makes sense. Malls are pretty much designed to make shoppers stay as long as humanly possible. Apparently college campus and zoo maps are also viable options. 

This moving Twitter thread from @AntnHZ is brimming with all the feels. They paint a picture of a very loving and openminded grandmother, who spontaneously decides to take up D&D late in life while she's battling the harrowing ills of pancreatic cancer. You can just feel the love running amok throughout this story. 

Yeah, this is basically stupid, but hey, it's important to never apologize for the dumb stuff you're into. Everyone has their stupid. For the ones who played the Pokémon games while watching old episodes of Dragon Ball Z, this means something, alright? We all know that Pokémon's probability system is madness, but assuming Goku isn't holding a quick claw or something that lets him sneak in a senzu bean, this looks like it holds up.

Hold on, does quick claw provide enough of a stat buff to override the priority of quick attack? Whatever.

But hold on, would Goku's instant transmission be fast enough to end the fight before it even began?

Either way, there's no argument that Rattata could beat Yamcha with no strategy.

Anyone who embarks upon the ever trying journey of wrestling the blank page will become terribly familiar with the grueling process that can be just trying to spew some words out. So, this helpful little Twitter thread that includes some knowledge gleaned from a creative writing class might just come in handy. 

There is actually a legitimate medical reason for giving the vulture its pants, but that is buried under the undeniable spectacle of a bird wearing pants. The concept was all-consuming enough for Chappell Ellison to demand artists renderings of the panted vulture, and what came of it was, well, more vultures in pants. Nice. It's reminiscent of the time people were asked to share their art and draw a duck.

It can be a real wakeup call to hear what a total stranger thinks of the place you and your family have lived their whole lives. For all you know, every person you live with, work with, know and love could be summed up in someone's brain as "the place with all the corn." Depending on where you live, your culture might measure space and time differently than someone else. Here are some non-americans' biggest culture shocks they felt when visiting.

Sometimes, it's fun to revisit the past and appreciate just how strange some of the things were throughout the journey that was muddling through the education system as a young one. This Twitter thread from @melmadara will likely resonate with many folks out there. It might even make you feel far older than you did before. If you want to keep the nostalgia going after this thread, check out some nostalgic snacks from the 90s and 00s. 

Talk about a creative way to go about ensuring someone gets their lost wallet returned to them. Every now and again it's nice to have the pleasant reminder that the world has its fair share of considerate, awesome human beings. 

Anyone who has ever moved into a new place knows that the experience can be marked by a bit of stress over what your new neighbors are going to be like. It can be a bit of a gamble. Sometimes, you think you're moving into a place next to a perfectly reasonable human being, and then come to find out that they're nothing short of a waking nightmare. The folks that are featured in this collection of ridiculous posts on the infamous Nextdoorneighbor app seem like they could be quite the handful. 

There are way too many sleazy landlords trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting tenants out there. It seems like we're regularly coming across revenge stories involving one tenant taking their righteous revenge on a landlord who misplaced their moral compass. Enough is enough. Maybe if more people approach their sketchy landlords like the dude in this post, other landlords would be inspired to change their ways. Check out another landlord revenge story with this property manager who wouldn't return a security deposit, and then the pro revenge that ensued. 

Every now and again perfect strangers band together to create an internet artifact that's as wildly unexpected as it is strangely hilarious. This is certainly one of those times. We have a ton of people playing off one another as they work on "clarifying" what "Rick and Morty" is. It's a totally random thread, and very well might leave you in awe.
