Employee Fires Savagely Devastating Email at Boss After Quitting Mid-Shift


Sometimes people hit their limit, and this employee hit theirs in a big way.

Today u/idkanymoretbh0 shared this story to the r/antiwork subreddit with the caption, "I quit my job for a better one, walked out mid-shift, and sent this email when I got home."

From what we have to go off of, it seems that u/idkanymoretbh0 was unhappy with certain working conditions at the factory they were working in. They had some terrible coworkers who were bringing their issues into the workplace.

Everything culminated with OP leaving in the middle of their shift and then sending this bomb of an email to their boss when they got home. In the email, u/idkanymoretbh0 absolutely roasts the way the business operates, stating at one point that "I cannot respect myself and work for you at the same time, so I must leave."

Afterward, they describe the advice that they have for fixing the business, stating that if they do these things, then maybe they wouldn't be "So incompetent that it would make Neanderthals look intelligent." That has to be one of the best insults of the week.

Read on and enjoy this absolute scorcher of a bonfire.

Internet Bewildered Over "Metric Minutes" Listed on Viral Oatmeal Label


Internet users are bewildered over this oatmeal cooking label that was posted to Reddit on the r/mildlyinteresting subreddit. 

Reddit, the popular social news aggregation site, offers various subsections where different types of content and topics can be posted and discussed amongst users. Through "upvoting" or "downvoting" a post, the users can contribute to the overall rating of content which determines how posts appear on the feed. If a post garners a high number, or percentage, of upvotes within a given threshold of time, it will move onto r/all. r/all, thereby is what Reddit claims itself to be… 'The Front Page of the Internet."

This subreddit contains precisely what you might expect it to have, based on its name. (Although that is not always the case.) Perusing the pages of r/mildlyinteresting will reveal a collection of oh-so-interesting things in a very mild sort of way.

When u/IGotTheDud shared this image with the caption "The instructions on my oatmeal say to cook it longer in the French translation." to the popular subreddit, other users were perplexed as to exactly what this could mean. 

One commenter, Bridgetss, was the first to make the quip about "metric minutes" to explain the bizarre label. 

Other commenters added their ideas and funny commentary into the mix as everyone puzzled onwards. 

 


 


 

Visiting Entitled Sister Throws Away $1000 Worth of Sibling's Food, Gets Kicked From House


Imagine having the audacity to throw out someone's food when you're a guest in their home. It doesn't matter who it is, that's just insane. 

Well, that's exactly what happened to u/Scared-Outside4725 when they invited their sister to come into their home. u/Scared-Outside4725 describes their relationship with their sister as not being very close, describing their feelings as being "apathetic love" towards one another.

The sister recently had a job interview near their hometown where u/Scared-Outside4725 lives. So u/Scared-Outside4725 invited her to come and stay with them. 

This is how it went:
 

"It was all kind of awkward but nothing horrible until the third night. I came home from drinks with my friends around 10PM, went into my kitchen for a snack, and realized that almost ALL of my food was gone."

The shock of coming home to find all of your food mysteriously missing. Your first conclusion wouldn't even be that your guest had thrown it away, that would be way too absurd. Instead, you'd probably think that you had been robbed by a very hungry burglar. 

Absurd Dress Code Makes It So IT Can't Do His Job, Work Piles Up


Why is it that the person put in charge of telling you how to do your job is always the one person who doesn't know how to do your job?

This IT guy was told to wear a suit, no exceptions. But it just so happens that he works in a factory with understandable safety standards, so he wasn't allowed on the floor to do his job. And of course, the guy who passed down the original ruling couldn't be bothered to correct it, so the IT guy had nothing to do but sit there in a suit and tie while stuff started breaking.

It wasn't until he was called in to explain himself that he was able to soundly show how stupid of a decision this whole thing was, and he was finally able to get back to work. Thanks corporate, for your valuable insight on the innerworkings of your own company.

For another fun tale from the land of IT, here's the IT head who stole a coveted email address but couldn't handle the pressure and got canned.

Dumb Life Pro Tips To Help Achieve Worse Outcomes


There's nothing quite like human ingenuity. The brain that's able to write sonnets and algorithms is also the same organ that will tell you "get pregnant to fix your failing marriage." What we're trying to say is that there's a lot of variability in human thinking, and just because someone frames something as advice, that doesn't mean that it'll be effective. Hell, it doesn't even mean it will be a complete thought. So don't go sticking your fingers in scorpion holes just cause some guy at a bar told you there might be gold in there. We'd all love to believe him, but man, it's scorpions. Fool me twenty times, shame on me.

So in case you wanted to spend your day eating 2 metric tons of dirt instead of a big mac, go ahead and do it. But don't expect to feel good about it. Also film it and put it on the internet. You could be a big star. Again, don't do that. But if you do... we wanna see.

Lord of the Rings Memes Brighter Than the Jewels of FĂ«anor


Sure, Peter Jackson knew he was filming a masterpiece all those years ago, but it's unlikely that he knew he'd be making meme fodder that would stay somehow contemporary for decades to come. Honestly, we're pretty sure these movies are going to outlive us, and we're not even that old.

Life can be dark and miserable, but the one thing that will always be there for us is the trilogy. Just when everything seems at it's darkest, we gotta look to the East on the third day and see that box set looking right back at us. Do we have the time to watch all of them including the DVD commentary? Absolutely not, but we can still try. Responsibility feels ever so far away when you hear that Shire theme music kick in. Man, it's like sinking into a warm bubble bath.

Here are some more Lord of The Rings memes that shall definitely pass.
