IT Guy Gets Punished For Working Too Hard, Quits On The Spot


If you have an idiot boss, it's important to remember that to them, the impression they get of the work you do is a lot more important than the actual amount of work you do. IT sounds counter-intuitive, and extremely stupid, but at a stupid workplace, that's just how it is. Add in a healthy dose of favoritism and crap work politics, and you've got yourself a real frustrating 9-5. That happened in this case where OP went above and beyond to actually do his job correctly only to be reprimanded for making his own supervisor look bad. And when management started bending over backwards to find OP to be at fault for literally anything, the choice became pretty clear; it was a good opportunity to part ways.

Sometimes managers forget that they work with people and not at them, and it leads to some seriously weird power trips. Like thisboss who kept reminding an employee that she could quit at any time, so she did.

Husband Tells Wife She Needs Boob Job, She Tells Him He Needs A Job, He Plays Victim


This topic was posted on Reddit's r/AITA subreddit this week by the wife in the post who posted the topic to gauge whether or not she was in the wrong for her retaliation. She posted the topic with the title "AITA for what I said after my husband commented on my flat chest?"

It's very seldom that the instigator of a disagreement should get the chance to play the victim. Maybe if the instigator leads with a minor offense and the other party takes the nuclear option, then there might be some wiggle room on that statement.

Apart from that, if you're going to dish it out, you'd better be ready to take it back, especially when the dishing is (arguably) far more offensive than what you're taking back. 

Commenting on someone's physical appearance is never ok and is on the list of "Things to avoid doing in order not to be a d-bag." It's often the source of heavy insecurity and likely has been a target of choice for bullies in their past. You should never do this to a stranger, and you should certainly never do this to your partner. 

So, when this husband decided to make a comment (in front of his family nonetheless) about his wife's small breasts he accepted whatever consequences were coming back to him. He opened the playing field for retaliation and, for some reason, was unable to hack it. 

This guy probably doesn't deserve to be married to anyone if he is going to treat his partners in this manner. The guy needs to grow up and get his attitude adjusted. What an a-hole.

Commenters have been in full support of the wife and have been absolutely obliterating the husband in their responses. Many are calling for an end to the marriage and an end to his attitude.

"NTA whatsoever." One user commented, "He f---ed around and he found out. You should give him space. Permanent space, away from you."

Twitter Thread Unpacks The Unhinged Sci-Fi Sequel To 101 Dalmatians


Every once in a while, we learn about off-the-wall forgotten elements to famous stories, and we don't really know where to place them. For example, there's a very real part of the original Forrest Gump (the book) wherein Forrest travels to space with a talking chimp. Who knows why this part would ever have not been included in an otherwise touching blockbuster period drama starring Tom Hanks, but all we can say is the movie is probably worse for it. 

Anyway, it turns out there's a canonical sequel to 101 Dalmatians written by Dodie Smith, the author of the original book. Needless to say, it's a bit of a departure from the Disney version. It's got dog superpowers, it's got cataclysm, it's got dog-aliens. So that's cool? It's honestly a little bit like The Last Stand, but with adorable dogs? Anyway, sketchesbyboze explained the premise in a very weird Twitter thread.

Beach Karen "Politely" Demands Kid Hide His Scars From Her Children, Gets Told Off


Just because someone politely asks for something doesn't mean they're actually polite or kind, or even asking for something reasonable. You could be on the bus and have the guy next to you politely ask if you can stand so that he can put his bag down on your chair, and while he was technically "asking politely," he's really just being a huge jackass who simply speaks softly. Sometimes we have to do impolite things to level the playing field when dealing with an unreasonable person, like the time this entitled dude who wouldn't remove his hand from a bus seat, so a pregnant lady just sat on it.

This piece of work beach Karen decided that she had the authority to make a kid with burn scars put his shirt on just so that she didn't have to explain any difficult concepts to her own kids, and OP took to the internet to make sure this lady was in the wrong. Consensus was "hell yeah, that Karen sucks."

The Wildest Stuff People Witnessed Working In Someone's House


The say that a man's house is his castle, but a whole lot of people seem to be the lords of their own weird kingdoms. Every year there's another news story about someone keeping a fully grown tiger in their one bedroom apartment. Tales like that just go to show that you can never really assume what's going on inside someone's home just by looking at them.

And that puts a whole lot of various utility employees, contractors, delivery drivers and device installers in highly precarious situations. Any given day on the job could have you staring face-to-face with some lady's shrine to David Hasselhoff made out of raccoon bones. And since you're working, they don't exactly have the opportunity to leave when things get weird. You might find yourself having to say things like "Ma'am, do you mind if I move this headless mannequin covered in honey, I need to get to the outlet."

Top Tinder Moments of the Week (April 19, 2022)


The modern dating landscape is a minefield of people saying and doing whatever they damn well please, while not saying what they actually want or doing what they actually need. 

This leaves the "modern dater" in the perilous position of combing through swathes of toads on the hunt for their match. But, hey, with the right approach… It can be kinda fun. If you find yourself single and alone and your goal is to not be single then you had better enjoy it because achieving that goal would mean that you never get to savor the sweet freedom of the single life again. So make the most of it. 

This week we have a range of candidates participating in the online dating game. My personal favorite happens to be that chap who managed to score a date with a fake profile of the Witch-King of Angmar (from Lord of the Rings for the uninformed.) Though, quite frankly, I'm surprised. Given the Witch King's experience during the battle of Minas Tirith… I would have thought he'd want to stay as far away from women as possible. 

The other candidates are what you might have come to expect from trending Tinder posts… You have your jokers, your hecklers, your thrill-seekers, and those looking for a happily ever after.

Scroll on for this week's selection.
