Car Full of Girls Can't Handle Huge Spider


Who cares what these people were trying to film. That spider has some fantastic timing. And to be fair, most of us would freak out to some degree if we saw that on the ceiling while driving. Also, despite the pandemonium, great work keeping the spider in frame.

Amazon Driver Meets Farm's Guinea Hens


Seems like a stereotypical quiet day on the farm until you see those guinea hens giving chase to that unsuspecting Amazon driver like none other. We can only imagine what must've been going through that Amazon driver's head when he heard those guinea hens coming up on him.

Woman Gets Into Car, Realizes It's Very Wrong Car


Some of us have had those startling moments when we realize we've boarded someone else's Lyft ride. It's an innocent enough fail, and can make for a funny time. Well, when it comes to getting in the wrong car, this has to be the most unforgettable cringeworthy kind of accident to happen in the ride sharing business yet. Whole lot of yikes.

Employee Derails Incompetent Boss By Working Scheduled Hours


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.

Text - Posted by u/dorky_dad77 22 hours ago 17 10 e11 3 12 E 8 S Was told I had an 8 1/2 hour shift and not to leave early, so I started working for only 8 1/2 hours. oc M I work as a supervisor at a manufacturing plant, and I was hired for an 8 hour shift as the night time supervisor. As soon as I started, they changed, and said they really considered the shift to be from 11 pm to 730, so they would need it to be 8 1/2 hours. I'm salaried, there wasn't much I could do, and it wasn't a big deal,

Text - As I get into a groove working there, I find out that the 2nd shift supervisor is a train wreck. No one would describe him to me, just saying I had to meet him. He leaves an hour or two early from his shift 2- 3 times a week. Friday nights he leaves the plant at 530, and tells them to call him if there are any problems. He calls out, at a minimum, once a week. Its psychotic. Every time he is out, I come in at around 8 pm to cover the last 3 hours of his shift and my full shift. At least o

Text - Then Sarah starts as my boss. I actually have bosses, which is how every successful employee works. Sarah is a nightmare. Sarah wants me to work 11-11 on MTW, and 11-10 on Friday. I dig in my heels, document like crazy, and after a couple months of harassment, HR actually backs me up and she has to stop. But now Sarah is angry, and she sees me leaving at 715 one morning after coming in 2 hours early. She sends an email clarifying our time expectations. 2nd shift train wreck calls in that

4.

Text - I get an email saying she is coming in early to talk to me, and when she shows up, I'm getting a formal warning for my early departures, going into my personnel file. I've never been written up in my life. During the meeting, with HR in attendance, she said I am expected to be there for my 8 1/2 hour shift. I made sure that the expectation was on record for an 8 1/2 hour shift, which HR documented.

5.

Text - The next week, the 2nd shift supervisor is out two days. After the first day, Sarah asks me the next morning why I didn't come in early, as there were problems on his shift, and I said I fulfilled my 8 1/2 hour shift, and I'm not responsible for his. They had to hire a contractor at $125 an hour to cover all of his missed time, which amounted to 19 weeks this past year. Eventually they hired a 4th supervisor at $85k per year to cover his gaps. Sarah got demoted, and I only ever work 8 1/2

OSHA-Unapproved Moments Of Safety Failure


Anyone who's had to work with their hands has likely witnessed, or even low-key partaken in some safety fails that would make OSHA faint. These highly questionable and unsafely done jobs probably shouldn't be considered a point of pride, but people keep doing them, usually out of convenience. Here's a story of an incompetent manager who fired their only OSHA certified forklift operator and had it backfire.

Bride Wants To Airbrush Over Bridesmaid's Tattoos


Gotta love how this bride says she doesn't want to be "that bride" and then proceeds to be exactly that bride. Weddings seem to have that uncanny knack for bringing out people's inner toxic perfectionist. Sometimes people like this bride can get so caught up in trying to make sure everything fits their vision for the perfect day, that they end up being way more insensitive than they'd ever normally be. We've got to hope that's the case for this bride. Check out some more wedding drama with this bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

Genealogy Discovery Ignites Nasty Family Conflict


Honestly, it sounds like there were some folks in this family that could've benefited from not making assumptions about their ancestry, and then proceeding to carve a whole lifestyle out of it. It can really pay off in the long run to just do your research, before making those big moves, like assuming you're Native American when you're actually Eastern European. Hopefully, this family was able to put their differences aside, quell the rage, and ultimately make up. 

Check out some more ancestry kit drama with this family that got blindsided by a shocking ancestry kit revelation. 

1.

Text - AITA for making potentially "embarrassing" family genealogy discoveries visible on Ancestry.com? Not the A-hole I've been the extended family's amateur genealogist for more than 20 years. I've built an enormous family tree on Ancestry.com. Names and details on all living people are hidden (unless I give special permission to someone). Info on deceased people is visible.

2.

Text - Like a lot of American families, there's a persistent myth that we have some Native American heritage. My late paternal grandmother told us that she was descended from a French soldier who married a Native American woman. Well, Grandma (who was a very sweet lady) made this up. She was orphaned at age 2 and didn't even remember her biological parents. Maybe she just wanted an origin story? I figured out who her biological parents were earlier this year by triangulating my DNA matches and s

3.

Text - I'd actually forgotten about the Native American stories. My dad is no longer alive, but I shared this info with his brother, my uncle. He thanked me but asked, "Are you 100% SURE there's no Indians [his word, not mine] in our tree?" Yep, 100% sure, I told him. He responded, "Well, Ronny [fake name] isn't gonna like hearing that." Ronny is my cousin – I haven't seen him since we were kids -- and he apparently took the Native American thing to heart. He went out and got a bunch of tattoos

4.

Text - I had and have NO intention of telling anybody in Ronny's world that this is untrue. But he did not take the news well. His dad shared my number and I got a text from Ronny telling me to take down any info about our family origin immediately. I responded no, and reassured him that his name wasn't displayed and his secret was safe with me. I'm not trying to "out" anybody as anything. I don't share findings on Facebook and you'd really have to dig through the Ancestry.com tree and know what

5.

Text - I'm sorry Ronny didn't have the foresight to do his own research before "going native," but I don't think I'm an AH for accurately representing our family history where someone else could see it. Or am l? 1 7.2k 3 1, Share 825

Text - username2-4-3-7 • 1d • Asshole Enthusiast [6] This reminds me of a TIFU story about a white guy who adopted an asian baby. He jumped neck deep into Chinese culture. The kiddo went to a cantonese immersion school. Got Chinese aunties and uncles who took him to China to engage with his heritage. White Dad was so proud of his son and his support for his son's heritage. Then when filling out some kind of scholarship paperwork for college, dad had to fish out the original adoption paperwork...

Text - jrobin99 • 1d NTA. I do genealogy too and WOW I can't believe the amount of people who cling to that old Indian blood story! What is with that?? I heard the same story from my Dad's side. Did some poking around and found lots of people linking to names and graves apparently all made up! First rule of genealogy is to back everything up with proof. Your relative might have started with the hope of having Indian blood before DNA existed. It was easier back then to claim...whole lot harder no

Text - west_to_southwest • 1d When you remove your cousin's over the top aggressive behavior, this story actually highlights an important issue: genetic privacy. Currently, it is absolutely your right to share genetic results and what not with the world; however, because your family shares genetics, you are sharing other people's genetic results/information with the world too. I can absolutely imagine a case where a family member doesn't necessarily want their genetic information broadcast to th

Who knows if gran lied. He knew it was possible it was just a story and l'm sure his Native friends did, too- so even if grandma was the granddaughter of a Native woman, that's what? 1/16th? Isn't the joke that every white American claims to be 1/16th Cherokee? Hard to imagine he told the truth and no o

Also, your grandmother was adopted at 2. Ronny had to know there was a good chance her stories weren't accurate. He seriously thinks a 2 year old had a good idea of her family heritage? Also, you're not the only one with a dumbass cousin. Mine got a giant Blackfoot symbol tattooed on her chest and neck at age 18. One too ma

The best part was, I got accused of being racist for saying this was all bullshit back in the day. No, l'd be proud of whatever heritage turned up, but there's WAY TOO MANY annoying white people who want to claim the romance and intensely American origin of being Native American, but without having

This is why he's defending the lie so aggressively. But that doesn't mean you should take your own info down. He doesn't have to look at it if he doesn't like it. Your uncle is 100% wrong on all levels. Let him be 'disappointed.' What I don't understand is how Ronny found out. Did the "disappointed" uncle take it up
