Spirit Airlines Alerted Passengers of a Change in Flight Departure Time AFTER it had Already Left, TikToker Claps Back


They refused to refund her, but she still found a way to get that money back. 

Chaotic Times Mayhem Ruined Someone's Day


Our lives are permeated by the usual disappointment and tribulation of a regular day on earth, but sometimes we have moments of misfortune more spectacular than the rest. How many times does a person get to say "sorry I can't come to work today, my dog chewed a hole through the wall" or "yeah man my toilet exploded into the ceiling so I'll get back to you." Every day of life is just another wind-up for a poorly timed curveball, and the most we can hope for is that we don't take that ball to the chin. Still happens though.

But still, keep that head up high and keep those eyes on the prize. At any given moment we're a slip away from a dropped tray of fine china. So we should learn to savor the boring times before they get regrettably exciting. Here are some more unpredictable moments of failure and chaos.

Boss "Doesn't See Need" For Promotion, Coworkers Stop Doing His Job, Make It Obvious


Have you ever been denied a promotion for a job that you've already been doing? Especially when the person telling you "things are already covered" is really just saying a thinly veiled version of "but you already do that for free, because I refuse to do it. Why in the world would I pay you more to continue doing my job?" Saying it's a slap in the face would be an understatement. Slaps in the face are preferable.

Just such a thing happened to this guy and his coworker, who were led a line of BS so long that they decided it should be met with strict intervention. And look at that, a position just magically opened up. Isn't it weird how things happen like that? It's such a strange coincidence.

For another tale of workplace justice, here's the tale of a power-tripping boss who reminded an employee that she could quit any time, so she did.

People's Most Fun, Strange And Peculiar Facts


Many of us have an insatiable hunger for knowledge. But rather than hunting down information that is actually useful to us like how to do CPR or the ins and outs of investment banking, we are invariably drawn towards things like "did you know that cows have regional accents." You could call it a complete misappropriation of interest or a catastrophic fumbling of priorities. But we would prefer it to be known as "wanting to know cool stuff so we can be interesting at parties."

And who doesn't like a reminder that the world we live in is fantastically interesting? It's better than just thinking you know everything all the time. We've met people like that, and really often, they don't even know how to mop. What a bunch of wrong-headed, easily forgotten, non-mopping sacks of soon-to-be-dead wasteflesh. Learn to mop.

Here are some more of people's most tantalizingly useless facts.

Landlord Coerces Tennant Into Showing Their Apartment, So They Give Overly Honest Tours


This landlord threatened legal action against their tenant if the tenant refused to let them show the apartment while they were still living there. The tenant did not want the grief of going through a legal process with their terrible landlord, so they caved under pressure and allowed the apartment viewings to occur.

This thread was posted to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the tenant after they faced a long list of issues with their current landlord. This included the landlord stealing $10k of overpayments from them and refusing to return it. They gave up battling and decided to comply with the landlord's demands maliciously.

"So now," the tenant explained, "Every potential renter gets the grand tour of EVERY SINGLE THING the landlord has failed to fix, as well as how egregiously long it's been since I requested repair."

"Additionally, they get a detailed explanation of how the management company stole my 10k overpayment and how I've been living rent-free for months because they refused to give it back."
