Manager Late For Web Meeting on Employee's Day Off, Witnesses Literal Inferno Via Zoom

This volunteer firefighter was threatened to be fired while attending a fire on their day off. Their boss called them while they were out attending a fire in the bush (Aus/NZ slang for a thick undergrowth forest with smaller trees and lots of plants at ground level) and demanded that they attend a virtual meeting in 10 minutes' time or they were fired. The manager was late for their own meeting and when they finally arrived they demanded that the firefighter turn their camera and mic on. 

They were greeted with the blazing inferno of the fire that the firefighter was attending, with the firefighter fully suited up in all of their glory. 

This story was posted by the firefighter, u/taipan821, to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit who shared this story in honor of their "malicious compliance" to their boss's direction to turn on their video and mic, knowing the drama that would unfold.

Crab Memes To Make The Most Out Of Carcinisation

Nature has a thing for crabs. It just can't get rid of them. Fossil records have shown us that stuff just won't stop evolving into the shelled, clawed bastards. Is it because the design itself is effective, or just because nature has decided that something should always be a crab? Whatever the reason, they look really weird, and taste pretty good. Especially for being a big wet sea bug.

What we wouldn't give to one day have a large, powerful claw to attract mates. It's dumb that we have to rely on having decent jobs and practice hygiene when we could be out here pinching stuff and taking names. Those names? Crab.

So hopefully one day we will all get to return to the sea by walking sideways. No thanks to you, fish who walked up on land in the first place. We're gonna have a good time being crabs.

Night Club Employee Gets Harassed By Customer, Has Security Kick Patron Out

Keeping your hands to yourself is a pretty general rule we all learn early in life, but some people — like the night club patron in this story from Reddit's r/pettyrevenge — apparently need to be reminded of that message as adults. Redditor u/NIMTYPE0 described a shift at their job at a nightclub in which a customer at the club decided to tug on his hair while he was working, collecting empty cups and generally keeping the club clean for customers. When the OP told the customer not to touch him, the customer just laughed — that is, until the employee got club security involved and told them to kick the rude guy out.

While security pulled the guy outside, our OP sounds like he was pretty shaken up from having someone actually touch them while at work, which we can all agree is a big no-no. When the OP passed the customer again later in the shift, the guy actually apologized, though with a weird claim that he was actually trying to shake OP's hand when he grabbed his hair. The head bouncer at the club eventually kicked this annoying customer and his friend out, sending a message that you absolutely cannot touch an employee while they are at work.

Woman Gets Cancer Diagnosis, Friends Shave Heads In Solidarity, Turns Out She Doesn't Need Chemo

With all the media around cancer treatment and chemotherapy, it's pretty easy to get an oversimplified impression of what a cancer diagnosis can mean. Fortunately for this woman, she had an operable form of stage 0 breast cancer, so the prognosis is looking pretty good. When she told her friends about it, she left out some important information, and left them to their own devices on the matter. Thinking their friend was going to go through the arduous process of chemotherapy, they all decided to shave their heads for their friend. 

Who can really blame them for wanting to make their friend feel better? It's definitely in the right vein of what we'd appreciate our friends doing for us, though it is hilariously misguided. There hearts were in the right place, even if their hair isn't. Those are some supportive people, and we should all be so lucky to have friends like them.
