work

There's no doubt that it's been a historically difficult year, and some professions have had to muddle through this storm of overwhelming chaos more than others. Take everyone working on planes for instance. Those flight attendants are on the front lines. We appreciate all that they do to try and keep people safe amidst their travels. With that being said, this flight attendant shared some of their most memorable moments while on the job. Sounds like quite the gig. 

It's easy to say that "straight line painter" isn't in your job description as a "line painter," but that decision makes for some very creative looking roads. These impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments may be poor excuses for well done tasks, but they're definitely spectacles. If nothing else, these "not my job" moments sure got the job done-ish.

They told her that it wouldn't work, but she wanted to get all that hair bleached and flew to close too the sun. It only seems fitting that she end up with the haircut that at least tells other people who they're dealing with. For another tale of Karen, here's a Bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

Communication is key, and this manager who couldn't pay enough attention to make his own password got exactly what he asked for. As it turns out, this kind of thing isn't so rare. For another time someone at work wanted something but wasn't clear enough, here's a boss who demanded a demolished office but got more than that.

The old saying about how people don't quit terrible jobs, they quit terrible managers, is certainly proven true in this AskReddit thread about some of the world's absolute worst bosses. Some people should never be put in a position of power, where they can make other employees' lives plain old miserable. 

Work sometimes feels like a total racket, but it's something we all have to do, so at least there's that. In addition to knowing your coworkers have to go through the same thing, there's also work memes to help get through the day. Do work memes make work easier? Not necessarily. But they are a pretty decent alternative.

The problem with having to feed yourself is that it costs money, and people only give you money for doing stuff they don't want to do themselves. Even if you like your job, it gets tiring. That's why it's at least nice to know that it's a feeling everyone has, and a handy dose of work memes can deliver a shot of catharsis in an otherwise cumbersome situation.

When you're already going above and beyond to cover someone else's loose ends, it's a breath of fresh air to be ordered to just do your job. This boss didn't know what they were getting into when they tried to tell this employee to simply work their scheduled hours. For another dumb boss story, here's a boss who orchestrated their own downfall.

Working in a stressful environment is bad enough. But when a client comes and and says that you shouldn't even try to take control of the situation? That's when it's about time to truly throw the reigns off and let them know what they've just asked you to do. Here are more times people said "I don't get paid enough for this."

It's not every day that an employee gets to come down with the full rank of their own manager and expel a toxic Karen from their workplace. Coming back besuited is the power move that takes the cake. For more Karen episodes, here's a Karen who wanted 1K for a 10 dollar coupon as well as a Karen who demanded that a delivery driver scan her groceries.

It's a damn shame that this guy is having trouble getting other people to call him Mr. Bitch, because most of us would think it's kind of awesome. For some other cultural name challenges, here's a grandson who's jerk grandma won't learn his name, so he resolves to say her name wrong too.

At some unfortunate jobs, your boss doesn't pay attention to your job description, and will make you do whatever you're willing to do. At other jobs, you're basically a punching bag for mindless customers. There's so much a person is willing to take for ten bucks an hour, and there are times when we're compelled to say "screw this, I'm out."

If no one checks anyone's work, you might find yourself in an impressively unprofessional "not my job" moment. It just happens sometimes, and when no one owns up to the mistake, it complicates things even more. A lot can go wrong when you don't verify your links, like this person who followed a link blindly and regretted it.

Most of us pride ourselves on being at least halfway decent at our jobs. Sometimes things get forgotten, done too quickly, or done by exactly the wrong person. What we get are "not my job" moments of quality unprofessionalism. The world is populated with crap infrastructure, stupid signs, and painted over spiders because somewhere along the line someone said, "eh, not my job."

Working in an environment with stupid rules is a real bummer. Demerits for having an uncovered coffee? Sounds like the kind of place where you'd want to start eating people's plants. For another bit of workplace revenge, here's a worker who deployed petty revenge on an elevator rule stickler.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the freakiest things that night time workers ever witnessed while on the job. There's something about night time that's always managed to bring out the craziest parts about this reality that we all share. Definitely gotta keep a watchful eye out if it's a full moon as well.
