Incompetent Production Manager Signs Off On His Own Fail

This incompetent production manager served himself up a slice of humble pie. Sounds like the dude's carelessness had persisted to such a point that a reality check was inevitably headed his way. A wakeup call, if you will. And oh boy, did he get one. The look on the dude's face when he realized that he'd literally signed off on his own humiliation must've been one for the books.

Text - So, backstory:l used to work at a factory who suffered severely under a director who wanted to make more money, with little idea as to how you run a factory, or how you see through people trying to BS you to gain favor. One person in particular was notorious for licking buttholes, when i started he was the boss for about a third of the production unit. And as it happened, he was also the guy who took over whenever my own boss needed time off, was out liasing with other companies, or other

3.

Text - So, as for the story itself:My partner and i made up the companys goods-reception, and quality controll department. basically our job was to recieve the goods, and inspect that everything was in order (Correct amount had been delivered, no transport or production damage or mistakes) and then prepare the things for storage. But as you might expect sometimes things weren't quite in order, some things were unimportant and we just ignored them. Most things we send in to get them repaired. sin

4.

Text - And this particular assclown, was allowed to "greenlight" things that my partner and i had send in to get repaired. So, one day, the director comes out, with the head of productions behind him, wanting to know why a particular type of good, from a particular contractor, always got send in for repair (And i do mean everytime) and we explained that becouse purchase opted to use the cheapest place to get these things done, quite frankly one particular part was suppar, but it could be fixed s

5.

Text - With every piece of good we recieved, we'd pull the schematics in order to meassure if everything was in order or not. And then on this schematic we'd write some addition information (Purchase number, steel certificat, ect) so that we could easily trace everything back, should there be a problem. And for this particular thing, we drew an arrow to the part that was done incorrectly, wrote what the problem was, and "Aproved by: Mr. Assclown" asked the production manager to sign it. and off

Text - So, about two weeks later, our "trap" sprung, our assembly unit (whom i'd already spoken to) needed these particular parts. And they recieved the ones that weren't made correctly, so they ofcourse contacted their boss, who (acording to plan) didn't contact my boss, since he was away, but the director himself! about how quality controll had realy messed up. Ofcourse, the director came flying over, howling and creaming about our incompetence. To which my partner and i calmly asked him "So,

Text - Mr. Assclown stood there, all smug expecting his next big promotion, but we called storage, and asked our storage worker to bring up the pallet with the remaining goods, and the schematic that had a very neatly "Aproved by Mr. Assclown, signed: production manager" written on it. The half a second it took him to realise, that these goods that risked delaying the shipment, and thus costing a small fortune in delays. had been greenlighted by him, was priceless! His face went from "Oh yea, i'

Husband's Spouse Introduces Points System For Chores, He Plays It

This husband knew just what to do when it came to beating the newly instituted points system. The dog must've been stoked about all those walks too.

1.

Text - TIFU by instituting a "point system" for my spouse to try to get housework done Mandatory the FU happened yesterday but I'm suffering the consequences today. Some background, my husband is a very active, go- nonstop kinda person so this whole staying home on the weekends thing is really tough for him. He's considered essential and is working long hours M-F and is thankful for that, but gets pretty depressed being inside all day Sat and Sun.

2.

Text - Yesterday I had this brilliant idea to make a list of activities he could do to keep busy that would earn him "points" and a list of rewards he could redeem the points for. The things to earn points consisted of a blend of fun things like "Invent a new dish using items we have in the pantry", "Walk the dog" and "find your new favorite TV show". These were combined with more practical things like "Do a batch of laundry" or "Clean out your dresser". On the rewards part I put some small thin

Text - The problem is there's only so much I could put on there that would be a reward for him that also allowed us to stay in the house and I needed more items. So, last minute, and this is where I effed up, I decided that one of the rewards is that he could have me do anything on the activities list if he redeemed double the points value. I made this little game in less than 15 minutes when he was taking a shower and didn't really put much thought into how it might be exploited. He gets the li

Text - That brings us to today. I wake up and he immediately starts redeeming his points to have me do all the hard stuff. It's been six hours and Il've already cleaned out his dresser, done all the laundry, and walked the dog in the rain...twice. I've just now taken a break to write this. He still hasn't used all his points. TL;DR: I instituted a points system with rewards to keep my husband busy while also getting housework done. One of the rewards was to have me do anything on the list and I

Cultures Collide Over What Lemonade Is

This fun Tumblr thread escalates quickly as cultures collide over what lemonade actually is. We get to see how Americans can exhibit such shock when they come to learn that the rest of the world doesn't operate the same as them. Madness. And in this case, it boils down to how people perceived lemonade. Apparently, some folks consider lemonade to be a fizzy, Sprite kind of beverage. That's cool. When life gives you lemons, make Sprite.

In the US, Lemonade is a juice, like orange juice, but made with lemons instead of oranges. You can buy "fresh squeezed lemonade" at many restaurants and fast food venues. Typically it's diluted a bit with sugar water, so the sour flavor of the raw lemon juice isn't so overpowering. In the south, it's very com

Some Americans really do think that the world is just like us and are surprised to discover it's not. But the rest of Americans tend to think the rest of the world is probably WAY BETTER, so to discover that you don't even have real fucking lemonade is like learning you guys have to shit in a hole or run your lights using a man-powere

Tinder Dates that Went South Fast

It's all fun and games until you find out your date is trying to sign you up for a pyramid scheme. There are a lot of lighthearded funny tinder triumphs and failures, but when things move from text to the real world, they can lead to awkward and bad first dates. Hopefully they're just awkward. Some are terribly creepy and weird.

Psychology Experiments With Fascinating Results

This weird and educational AskReddit thread has folks sharing various psychology experiments that turned up interesting results. A whole lot of these results just illustrate a larger picture that our brains are these strange instruments that are doing the best they can, in a reality they're taking their best guesses at. Some studies are more unsettling than others, so proceed at your own risk.

Basically they brought together a group of kids and formed a class with a real teacher.

Instead they told the teachers that a few students, picked at random, were very brilliant and scores very hi
