They made this dude's job too easy. A tech worker shared their story of what happened when their computer broke . Like many workplaces, some people have a knack for being able to troubleshoot technology . It's a valuable skill — many of us just don't have the technological know-how to fix these issues without recruiting someone from the IT department. To be fair, a lot of the time you only have to turn your computer off and on again, or clear the browser history, and for some reason it does fix…

This boss tried to bluff , only for their employee to call them out on it. While things didn't go to plan for the boss, their employee, u/exie610, got some amazing revenge. Some managers have no respect for individual jobs. Instead, they'll insist that alongside your own job, you can also do the work of four or five other people. Why do one job excellently when you can do five jobs badly? At some companies, things are always run this way, either because the boss is a penny pincher, or because m…

Quitting impulsively may not be ideal, but sometimes less than ideal is more than necessary.

Family vacations are supposed to be fun for the whole family, not just a few members. But this mother wasn't too concerned about the feelings of the rest of her family, so long as she got a break for herself. Vacations are so great when you're a kid. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the trip! Your parents will take care of all the planning, booking, transportation, and meals, and you just get to run around the beach or an amusement park to your heart's content. This 23-year-old is reali…

All this Redditor needed to do in this scenario was get out some popcorn, pull up a chair, and watch.

Aunt Karen never seems to learn her lesson.

Getting back at scheming roommates was this person's goal, and they truly succeeded! Finding the right roommate is key. If you end up not getting along with them, like this person did, you're just out of luck. Unless, like this person also did, you find a way to get out of the agreement. U/Nymyane_Aqua shared their story to r/ MaliciousCompliance . In their story, the OP writes that their roommates had ganged up to try and get them to leave the house they all shared. Why? So that one of the roo…

These vacations to Italy and Hawaii sound incredible, so it's a shame it didn't work out as the vacationers planned. Traveling with your friends always seems like a good idea until it's actually time to go. You really find out who people are when they're under stress, and if you've ever traveled at all, you know that things never go completely as planned. Vacationing, as relaxing as it is, involves a lot of moving parts and planning things in advance. Depending on what you do, the planner has t…

Venturing forth into the unknown is a challenging experience, and the comforts of the assured often keep us from starting that journey. The tug-of-war between known and unknown take place as a theme stretching back throughout human existence, with the desire for change, for “better,” causing us to seek out novel experiences—the fear of ending up worse off keeping them from pursuing them. This has been a commonly discussed topic on our site as of late, as it often plays significantly into our ci…

The restaurant industry is known for being fickle; if a few coworkers call in sick, you're gonna find yourself in a bit of a pickle… that is, as a manager. But as someone in a management position, that is your problem; not the other employees' issue. In this case, OP's boss initially approved their vacation but quickly backpedaled when it became apparent that they had granted time off to too many other employees, meaning that now they were short-staffed. Tough luck, as OP was already on their v…

Sometimes, people take petty revenge ever so slightly too far.

It's lunchtime and you're starving, but when you open your office fridge , your lunch is gone. Now, your only choices are to go hungry, stop home, take some time to go out and buy food, or get it delivered to the office, which is expensive. Not only has your coworker inconvenienced you and stolen your property, but you probably won't find out who stole it, unless your office has cameras in the kitchen. This person, who shared their story to r/AmItheA**hole, wrote that they had a repeat offender…

Reddit is supposed to be anonymous, but this woman found an AITA post written about her and was infuriated about the “badmouthing."

What would we ever do without our family? As a dad, there are several duties you have to do (aside from childcare, chores, etc.) You have to have a pair of “dad sneakers” that you'll wear for 20 years to any and all occasions. You have to pick a single household item to monitor very closely ("Don't touch that thermostat!"). And then, you have to deliver a steady supply of groan-inducing, completely unnecessary, and very silly dad jokes. This guy is nailing the jokey side of fatherhood, even tho…

When this employee was wrongly accused, his boss defended him – and uncovered some face-palm inducing incompetence at their company. As the OOP of this post knows all too well, it requires a certain set of skills to excel at people management. But as they wrote in a post to r/talesfromtechsupport, they were not only having an issue with the tech they managed, but with the HR department. HR levied a serious accusation against the tech. They wrote that the dude “massively violated the IT data pol…

This neighbor fully made his own bed. I mean, it's like he was begging for everyone else to enact some petty revenge on him.
