This woman asked the people of Reddit whether she was in the wrong for breaking out the bikini while on a work trip. Her co-worker apparently pulled her aside to say that it wasn't appropriate. Was she overstepping with the wardrobe choice, or did her co-worker blow the bikini moment out of proportion? You be the judge.

Imgur user Hymeria told some misadventures from working at a movie theater. Honestly, there are too many stories of entitled customers and various terrible customers being kicked out for their nonsense. Working with the general public allows you to meet incredibly nice people, but also the most petty, entitled and miserable people in the world.
Some things that we all can agree to hate are telemarketers, spam, and convincing scams.The whole "please don't call me back, take us off your list thing" is working less and less these days, so this guy opted to set up a meeting and make an inception style mockery of the whole process. People have their own strategies for shutting down marketing and scam calls, but the effort put into this is awesome.
Getting lied to sucks. Getting lied to by your boss is some serious business. Some of the most satisfying work stories come from people defying their incompetent and oppressive bosses by just following the rules, like this guy whose boss told him to guard a spill, so he did it for hours. Here are some work memes to get through the grind.
Anyone who has ever muddled through the grind that is working customer service will connect with these painfully relatable memes. On a good day, maybe only one customer drives you nuts. On the other days however, it can begin to feel like the whole world is against you.
It sucks to be unprepared for a job interview, but what sucks more is when you walk in and realize immediately that you've worn the wrong thing and they realize you're unprepared from the get-go. In some cases, this didn't stop people form getting the job. In other cases, employers could tell right away that it wasn't gonna work out.. In the same vein, here are interview responses that made employers immediately say "nope."
In hindsight this ex-employee could've benefited from stepping back and cooling off, before calling out his old boss/company on social media for everyone else to see, and ridicule. Some conversations are better suited for behind closed doors. Wonder if they understand why they were fired now.
Twitter user @shockproofbeats, lived down a true waking nightmare. His story is one for the ages, and revolves around him thinking that he'd had the day off, but ends up getting called into work after having consumed some suspect, milky green powder that was actually ketamine.
Fortunately, the tripped out and anxious enthusiasm brought on by the drugs he consumed with reckless abandon shortly before being summoned into work, came across as nothing more than overwhelming excitement. Crisis averted, and what a story this guy got out of it.
Big retail chains can have a lot space for people to fall through the cracks, like this guy who got hired but was never told to do anything and stayed on for months. Anyway, retail and customer service is a drag, and we feel for those who get backed into a corner by an incompetent boss.
Ghosts are one thing, but so many working adults hate their jobs so much that the thought of death might actually be a welcome surprise. What truly sends a chill up someone's spine is waking up to 3 missed calls from your boss and and a text that says "where are you." For some creative spookiness, here are some two sentence horror stories.
Twitter users are sharing their various solid suggestions for how to improve the workplace. Maybe the answer to doing away with a toxic workplace environment lies somewhere in these tips about how to make work a bit more lighthearted, bearable, and even positive.
This maniacal Chad supervisor refused to help his dishwasher, and on top of that, belittled the shit out of them. So, the employee hatched her revenge, and brought together some higher ranking employees, and ultimately exposed Chad for his bullshit antics. The cherry on the top was Chad having to wash all those dishes by himself, with no help, and after they had received especially large orders.
If being a brain surgeon was as easy as putting a stethoscope up to someone's disembodied brain, then sign us up for a nuerosurgery position. As it turns out, trying to depict someone's entire profession in a single stock image is really hard to do. Or it would be, if it ever seemed like these people were trying. Sometimes they're not just inaccurate, sometimes stock images are really weird.
We've all had really rough jobs, and while ruminating on your annoying job can suck, some well placed work memes can be cathartic. Whether it's some customer service role where we have to deal with Karens having freak-outs, incompetent bosses or straight up boring jobs where you have nothing to do. The grind can lead to a sort of existential dread and a cycle that never seems to end. But don't worry, there are other jobs out there, and more often then not, the total BS you have to deal with will lead you to bigger and better things. Anyway, here's some work memes for the grind.
These employees had enough of their micromanager president's mood swings. When things eventually came to a head, 14 of them organized a walkout in protest on Friday the 13th. Fortunately, the walkout was successful and it sounds like company morale enjoyed a great boost after he fact.
