It's another one of those unfair changes in policy made by management with zero foresight. It seems like a huge company should be able to adapt when their employees use the benefits they promise to give. In a similar story, here's a guy who came up with a masterful plan when told he had to work on vacation.

A bad boss can make or break a whole company. Sometimes they can even make everyone quit at once. Here's a good reminder that even if you feel stuck at a crappy job, you can evaluate your skills and may realize that you totally don't have to put up with the BS that a bad boss sticks you with daily.
Sometimes it feels like work takes up more of our free time than it should, and sadly, not many of us are given an opportunity to actually do anything about it. When this guy's self-titled "boss" told him that he'd have to work on vacation, he figured out a way to get what he wanted and also make it more miserable for the jerk who tried to tell him what to do. Check this out for a story of a guy who got petty email revenge on the company that fired him.

Getting stuck in an elevator is a pretty common occurrence. Typically what happens is you let the staff know you're in there, and then some random dude shows up after a few minutes to calmly let you out. Maybe being in a different country freaked this family out to the point of hysteria, or maybe they've never seen an elevator before. Either way, the moment was a little more dramatic than it had to be.
Meghan Maza Oeser was ready to take her first vacation in years, but before that, she decided to leave a hilarious and very informative letter to her husband Kevin.
The survival letter included an incredibly detailed list of helpful tips and tricks for her husband Kevin to use while Mom was away. These ProTips did just about everything to prepare Pops.

Faizan and Sana Patel were all set for their Italian honeymoon until Sana lost her passport at the last minute.
Instead of cancelling the trip all together, Faizan decided to embark on his honey-less honeymoon alone. To help get him through the lonely flights, Faizan constructed a cut-out of Sana's face to keep him company.
In a final act of desperation, Faizan tweeted at Sushma Swaraj, India's minister of external affairs, who helped Sana secure a replacement passport.

Chelsea Herline's father was cleaning up his house when he discovered a 4-day pass to Disney World with one day left unpunched. Setting up dad's much anticipated "that's why you hold on to things" moment.
Chelsea took the pass to the front window of the park and IT WORKED!
“I just went up to the window. I wasn’t expecting to spend the day there; I didn’t bring anything (or anyone) with me,” Herline said. “They were pretty surprised. The girl working there was younger than me and said, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen one this old before!,’” she added. “She called her manager over and they were super nice about it.”
