Woman Catches Lunch Thieving Coworker Red-Handed, Puts Him on Blast in Front of Everyone


Redditor, u/steelsnapdragon, recently started a new job at a small studio. When you start a new job there's always a load of scenarios running through your mind. There's nothing like a completely new environment, set of rules, and set of rules to get the old anxiety running circles.

What do I wear? Will I dress too casually? What about too formally? How should I do my hair? Are piercings ok? What about my new neck tattoo?

There's other little things you still need to learn too that only come with time. Like who has all the good workflow shortcuts and who you should avoid at all costs in the break room to avoid seeing the same baby photographed from different angles for the 100th time (looking at you Kaitlyn.)

The LAST thing you're expecting to have to deal; with at your new gig, pretty much the last thing you'd expect to encounter… Is walking into the break room to find some other cheeky bloke chowing down on your grub.

Think this is the worst thing a coworker can do? Feel free to share your stories below.

Scumbag Tries to Force College Girl to Push Past Him on the Bus, She Does Exactly That


When u/voldenope was taking the bus to her university it was always loaded up with people. She always got on first, because of where she lived along the route, so always ended up in the window seat with someone seated in the aisle seat next to her.

On this particular day, she found herself next to a seedy, unsavory sort of gentleman who appeared to be in his 40s. As soon as he sat down next to her he immediately began encroaching in her space. 

Space encroaching is one thing, but he proceeded to make full contact of his leg against hers. The thought of this makes my skin crawl. I can't imagine making physical contact with a full-blown stranger on public transport and being totally oblivious to that fact. In fact, I would be horrified. 

Once it was her stop to get off she asked if he could please slide out of his seat for a moment so that she could get off.

This is when he revealed his true colors.

Nutjob Temp Conspires to Get Guy Fired, He Turns the Tables and Sends Her Packing


When u/ManElegant's office brought in a new temp to cover for an executive assistant who was away on maternity leave, he was certain to be pleasant to her. As u/ManElegant notes in his story, "I'd spoken to her twice maybe three and was incredibly nice; I make it my business to be nice to everyone." 

He was unaware of the fact that this temp, referred to in the story as such, was already conspiring against him. For some unknown reason she had a bone to pick and was determined to build a case against him to get him fired.

What had he done wrong? Who can say. Maybe he reminded her of somebody who had wronged her. Maybe he killed her father during the start of the film and this was her plot for ultimate revenge. 

Usually revenge films don't end like this one though. Because if it was, the "bad guy" would be getting off scot-free as u/ManElegant, through some foresight and sheer luck, manager to turn the tables on this professional victim.


Twitter Users Get Nostalgic Over Sexy Old Ovens


Why do all kitchen appliances have to look like they're from the future? Sure they have a "clean" look about them, but why should a refrigerator be designed to look like it can go fast? It's still a refrigerator.

There was a time when ovens were green and weighed like a thousand pounds. They weren't exactly energy efficient and they were a weird lime/avocado green or tan color. They all had coils that suspiciously matched a scar or two on our siblings, and our childhoods wouldn't be quite the same without them. After a few decades of these, most people figured they should get something shinier, but some still remain. If there's anything that looks like it's cooked some serious grandma meals, this is one of those.

One look at one of these things and it's easy to imagine the thousands of pot roasts that slid in and out of there. The countless fried eggs slopping around in delicious grease. The knives heated up for one reason or another. Cutting cold butter. Sure, that's it.

@Timonthetractor took notice of one of these marvels of many a household, and people of the interwebs chimed in.


Scammer Pretends To Be Hit-And-Run Victim, Gets Found Out


This person was just trying to do the right thing after their car accidentally drifted on ice and tore a nice scratch into a stranger's vehicle. They left a note with their info, but when someone contacted them, it wasn't totally clear if the person was who they claimed to be. After being asked for proof of car ownership, it became obvious that they didn't want to provide a video of themselves unlocking "their own car" and opted to send a few photos. Those photos in question not only ended up being straight off the internet, but also they weren't even photos of the same car. When pressed on this issue, our mysterious stranger chose to double down, like a true moron.

At the end of the day, it really just sucks for the actual owner of the car who will never know that the person who left a scratch was actually willing to pay for it.

For some more tales from the world of dumb scammers, here's the guy who beat a craigslist scammer at their own game as well as another guy who gave a scammer a dose of their own medicine.

Scum Lord Tries Evicting Tenants On False Evidence, They Get Revenge In Court and Paint


It's not like every single landlord is an underhanded, conniving bastard, but there are a striking number of landlords who are. It's an industry based exclusively on getting money from just owning something, so naturally it's going to attract dirt bags like your mom's stall attracts flies.

In this case, we have a landlord who had a grand idea to come up with a bunch of fake reasons to evict their tenants in order to jack up the rent and make off like a bandit. The tenants slowly caught wind of this, the way I caught wind of your mom the other day while walking by the pasture.

The tenants took what liberties and paint they had on hand to make the transition as inconvenient as possible. Think of it as returning the favor to the type of gentleman who thought nothing of making people homeless for no purpose other than their own greed. And in the end, this landlord was left with a big long face that looks strikingly like your mom.

For another tale of petty landlord revenge, here's the landlord who tried to keep a security deposit and petty revenge ensued.
