One dude was the worst kind of friend you could have. Let's call him Ken. See, Ken had a friend by the name of… let's say, Scott. Ken and Scott were buddies, and when Ken got himself into a tight spot at the ripe age of 28, Scott let him sleep at his place (for free), bought him groceries, and even took care of his cat. All of which he really didn't have to do. Ken didn't work, didn't want to look for a job, and one day, disappeared, leaving his cat with Scott, who didn't particularly want his…

It feels like a common scene, doesn't it? Watching folks breeze into high-paying jobs effortlessly while the rest of us scramble for opportunities that seem just out of reach. It's the age-old story of the power of networking, where the people you know often overshadow your education and skills. It's especially upsetting to see jobs with high salaries go to those whose experience doesn't seem to line up. Imagine seeing someone with a background in English land a tech position, all thanks...

We all have that one coworker we can't get along with for the life of us. If you were given a chance to get back at them, would you take it? One person working at a microbiology lab got really petty when she learned that her coworker was quitting, and made sure to be the one organizing the goodbye gifts. She remembered everything that this coworker had ever said about products they did not like and got every single one of them. Why? Well, the coworker in question was doing very… questionable th…

Going to the bank is like going to the dentist. Nobody does it because they want to, but rather, because they don't have a choice. It always takes a tremendous amount of effort for me to make an appointment, and then it's an exertion for me to make it to the designated location. In this case, a customer obviously didn't appreciate going to the bank, nor did she appreciate the debit card she was given after initially having lost her own. She told the bank teller that the numbers looked funny and…

The OP of the story raises a really interesting point. He dedicated countless hours to developing a new app for his company, a project that was supposed to bring in millions of dollars in revenue. So, how was he repaid? He was promptly let go. Shockingly, this isn't uncommon, as several other employees in the comment section shared similar experiences and offered advice. One worker responded, "I, too, was laid off immediately after finishing a project. Just sitting in my car with a...

Public transit attracts all kinds of people, and a big chunk of them are the type you wish you'd never have the pleasure of encountering in your life. Imagine you are on a train, and all these people are packed on it. You've found yourself a nice window seat, and the beginning of your journey goes smoothly. Then, something unfortunate happens… Your nice, quiet seatmate leaves, and a loud, rude one sits across you instead. She begins chewing loudly, mumbling, and eventually, puts her feet on the…

I like a good coupon as much as the next person, but I won't go to drastic lengths to get one if you know what I am. This lady, on the other hand, was so entitled to other people's property, that she was more than happy to go to said lengths. What happened goes as follows… OP went shopping for some scent pods and was rudely interrupted by another shopper, who we'll call Karen (because it fits). OP's coupon was sticking out of her purse, and Karen had taken notice after keenly having scanned the…

It's so unfair when you go out into public and the public is there.

He is the primary caretaker of their daughter, and she spends less than two hours a day with her child…

'I didn't understand at first because at that age I didn't imagine professionals did petty, immature things.'

A landlord took to Reddit, asking their opinion on the fact he evicted new parents, giving them only 30 days to skedaddle. His reasoning was that their new baby made a lot of noise, and the neighbors had begun to complain. Is it insensitive? Yes. Is it illegal? We would think so, but apparently, he doesn't live in the US, and stated that it was actually completely legal for him to do so, as it landed under some sort of ‘noise pollution’ category. Babies are noisy creatures, duh. They cry, babbl…

Moving in together with your significant other is as charming as it is stressful. This is the time you truly get to know them. Sharing a living space with anyone can be emotionally draining, and it's normal to want some space for yourself. One woman took to Reddit, sharing the news of her moving in with her boyfriend. They were going to rent a three-bedroom house and had two spare rooms that they were figuring out what to do with. The entitled boyfriend thought it was totally legitimate to dema…

While at work, we expect a certain level of professionalism from our coworkers, including our boss. Many managers tend to have a hidden agenda of sorts, and live in la-la land, blindly assuming they won't get figured out. What was this manager's real motivation for making her employees' lives more difficult? I'm not sure. But she insisted that specific training take place out of State. Now, this was back in 2020, when that wasn't really possible. Moreover, there were mandatory 2-week quarantine…

You haven't experienced the true face of humanity unless you've worked at one point or another in customer service, and yes, that includes retail. The fact of the matter is, you can't indoctrinate someone for minimum wage and expect them to actually give a hoot about the job. It's not a secret, customers know this, management knows this, heck the workers themselves are well aware. Now, of course, there are the outliers, the people who care about their employment, the ones who make an effort to…

Committing to a 6+ hour commute to work every day is a superpower that most of us cannot claim to have. I certainly wouldn't be willing to do that under any circumstance. This Redditer told his impressive tale of malicious compliance, where he beat the system that was designed to fail, after asking his company to reimburse his travel costs. At the time he was living in San Diego, working in Downtown Los Angeles (that's a 175-mile per day commute). He was in the middle of studying for an exam th…

College in the States is hella expensive. Kids these days take out a ridiculous amount of student loans that equate to buying a house or two. Oftentimes, when parents can afford to, they'll help. We're talking big bucks here, upwards of 60 thousand dollars… that's an enormous sum of money to put into your education, but at this point, it's just how the world works. When your family gets involved in your expenses, ‘fun stuff’ starts hitting the fan, if you get what I mean… Heated discussions and…
