Ominous Signs That Are Vividly Terrifying

Life has a way of throwing curveballs at us, but when there's a sign that says "warning, entering curveball area, wear PPE to prevent blunt force trauma to skull" we're that much better for it. Life just has too many weird and specific dangers in store for us to keep track of on our own. And while some signs are totally panic inducing like "you are in a blast zone, do not touch any grenade-like objects you find" it's a lot nicer that we had the warning in the first place. The concept of "what you don't know can't hurt you" isn't applicable to poisonous snakes. And also crowbar wielding highway pirates. And also airtight chlorine gas huts. And also steep cliffsides with non-solid ground. And also lots and lots of bees. You get it.

For some more head-turningly scary hazards, here are some more creepy signs that make their message clear.

Viral Thread: Employee Lives the Dream, Suspended From Work For a Meme

This employee was rewarded for their fantastic sense of humor with two paid weeks off work. It's fantastic that their boss has such an incredible sense of humor and is willing to reward their employees for honesty. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit this week, where it went viral, earning a whopping 71k upvotes so far. It was published by the suspended employee, Reddit user u/SkrandyNick, who shared images of their work's group messages. The messages show the boss congratulating the team on a job well done, to which u/SkrandyNick responded with their meme.

The meme template is a webcomic macro known as "Drowning High Five," which shows a situation where you are receiving something other than the assistance you are desperately needing. By using this template, u/SkrandyNick was calling out their workplace for offering congratulations for a job well done while simultaneously pouring more and more work onto fewer people. 

When the boss responded that they would "have a conversation" in the evening, they responded with another meme using the "You Go to Jail" template, which features a scene from the show Parks and Recreation.

The final image posted shows their suspension notice.

Boss Fires Employee Then Asks Them to Cover a Shift on Easter

That's gonna be a no from me dawg.

This employee was called in by their new ex-boss to help cover a shift on Easter… Shortly after the boss had fired them for refusing to work out of state for four weeks on their own dime. 

This thread was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit by the employee, Redditor u/Ok-Character3000, who had only been working at the company for eleven weeks when the request came through. 

"So I was with this company for 11 weeks, and it was all pretty dumb already. But I didn't mind because it was more of an in-between kind of job. So Easter is today and I got a message last week asking me to come in and cover and catch up so people could take their vacations." u/Ok-Character3000 describes. 

They decided that they would rather move on than go out of town at their own cost, so they gladly accepted the firing.  

"So I just refused to go. I just didn't go. They gave me a two-week notice and I was fired.

Come around to a few days after my termination, and they start texting me saying, 'Well you don't have kids, so how about covering for us? Huh? Huh? Huh?'

And my response is "I was literally fired, so NO."

Commenters have been pointing out how stupid the boss has to be to think that he could get away with calling the employee in after firing them.

Bride Gets Roasted When She Tries to Justify Telling Her Fiancé He Can't Honor His Dead Son at Their Wedding

A bride told her fiancé that she disapproved of him honoring his dead son at their wedding by leaving an open seat because she was afraid of embarrassment in front of her family. She worried that they would think that her fiancé had lost the plot. Her fiancé even tried to compromise and offered to leave the last seat in the back row instead of the front seat as initially planned. She refused to compromise this way, and maybe it's time to call this wedding off.

The bride-to-be posted this topic to Reddit's rAITA subreddit to see whether or not she was wrong to tell her fiancé that he couldn't honor his deceased son in this way. She offered what she felt were strong justifications for her decision-making process and posted the topic with the title "AITA for telling my Fiance to get over himself?"

Commenters unanimously disagreed with her and told her that she was entirely in the wrong. They were sure to point out that leaving an open seat at an event to honor a loved one is extremely common and a great way to include the deceased in an event. 

Hopefully, this bride changes her ways and learns to accept her fiancé's needs. 

 

Resident Nurse Quits When Coerced Into Taking Another of Their Boss's Shifts, So Boss Can Go to Kid's Basketball Game

A Resident Nurse studying to become Nurse Practitioner has resigned from her position after her boss's condescension and harassment. She tried to express that she could not take yet another shift because she was so exhausted and behind on her studies. Her boss didn't care; she just wanted to go to her kid's basketball game. Whatever the cost. That cost ended up being losing another employee.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/Antiwork subreddit, where it went viral and had, so far, earned 47k upvotes on the popular subreddit. The images of the text message exchange were posted by the Resident Nurse, Reddit user u/serrafinagal. They posted the thread with the title "I'm an RN, I'm studying for my master's to become a Nurse practitioner, I'm done six straight 12-hour night shifts, this is the tip of a whole ShitBerg. I'll do an ama if you want more info."

They went on to express that they had one regret in leaving their job, "[T]his is s job that had 1 upside, the patients who I feel awful for leaving." but it was more important, at the end of the day, that they focus on their wellbeing and their studies to become a Nurse Practitioner.

Commenters were overwhelmingly supportive and gave the posting nurse some great advice and put the boss on blast.

Brother's Unemployed Girlfriend Designates Herself Planner of Family Gatherings, Gets Uninvited

When you're attached to a family group through a romantic relationship, you should feel like part of the family. If the family you're joining is healthy and decent, they will welcome you with open eyes. But that is a two-way street; it is also up to you to read the room and not overstep your place. 

In case you were wondering… Designating your unemployed ass as the on-tap family planner and sending people lists of chores they need to complete at their own home is definitely overstepping. 

Well, this guy's brother's girlfriend really needed to hear that piece of advice because she decided that her job would be precisely that.

"I'm hosting Easter at my house because I have a large yard for the kids to hunt eggs. As usual Harper sent the family spreadsheets for the event. Apparently my job as host is to "properly" clean my house. Weed and mulch my flower beds and remove a dead TREE on the edge of the property. There was a "Tips and Tricks" for lawn care she added at the bottom. Harper has decided to cook the food, her budget is $120, $155 if I want a cake."

The guy, who was the poster of the topic, took offense to her demands and sent her the following message back:

"I emailed her back and simply said, "Who invited you?" She texted me a bunch of question marks. I texted back "Unfortunately, there will be no-plus ones to watch my kids find eggs in the yard. If I let my brother bring a date then I'd have to let my other guests bring dates and we have already hit our budget of buying a grocery store ham. Sorry, I'm sure you understand how these things are. Best wishes!"

What do you think? Did the guy overstep by banning his brother's girlfriend from his home?
