Funniest Times People Have Tripped up Their Words and Said Something Hilariously Inappropriate Instead


Sometimes words are hard. As the wise Kevin from The Office once said, "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?" It's the question of the ages. Though language is important in every form of human civilization, sometimes the words are against you. Trying to make an intelligent sentence come out of your mouth when you're running on 30 minutes of sleep and working a minimum wage job is a lot to ask for, TBH. Or when you pull an all-nighter creating the best presentation, but since you didn't sleep and skipped breakfast all that intelligence goes out the window and words get jumbled and you say something like "d*ck" instead of "p*ck." It's hard out there, man! But, when you look back at those cringey trip ups with your words, it also provides for some hilarious grade-A fails to laugh forever about. So enjoy memes!

Top Work Memes This Week That We Can All Relate To (August 23, 2022)


As long as we have jobs, work memes will never get old. Part of the charm of getting through the work week is the humor we can derive from strange office dynamics and awkward professional encounters. From gossipping to your co-worker as soon as a team meeting ends to awkwardly trying to maintain posture and composure on your walk back to your desk from the bathroom, these types of office encounters are unfortunately inevitable. 

 

The reality is, much to the chagrin of most folks out there, we're probably not going to get to retire any time soon. As much as we'd like to take a year long vacation, we don't have the time and money to do that. So, we might as well make lemonade out of lemons and gain some pleasure or at least commiserative recognition from these memes and tweets.

 

Sometimes, antiwork memes can ironically be the thing that gets you through the work day. Or they might leave you in a state of existential contemplation, but who's to say?

'An Impressive Bit of Creative Writing': Cafe owner destroys Karen's 1-star review with scathing response


When this disgruntled customer left a 1-star review describing their poor experience at a cafe, the owner set out to put the story straight with this thorough and scathing response. Screenshots of the exchange were posted to a popular Reddit subreddit by Reddit user u/rainier-cherries, of the employees who works at the business. 

The employee posted the exchange to Reddit's r/quityourbullsh*t subreddit, a larger sub that often deals with stories such as this where people who are bragging, exaggerating, or lying get shut down. 

In part of the Karen's review, she mentions calling in advance, which the owner sets straight by pointing out that she had actually sent through a written request with intense instruction regarding her daughter's food allergies. All of which were complied to.

"My daughter has to follow a special diet we would love to order [a]cheese plate for her with aged cheese," the instructions began. They continued, "She cannot have gluten, soy, eggs, sugar, [or] milk (she can do cheese if aged not mozzarella.)" Before concluding with a left-field request to "Surprise her with [a] fruit plate for her birthday, it would be great. Thanks."

Commenters had an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the owner's response and pointed out how, well, pointed their words were.

"It's missing "f- you" at the end," commented user North-Ad-5058.

"It's pretty heavily implied," replied user Appropriate_Town6385.

"This is a great example of telling someone to go f*ck yourself in the politest way possible," offered user Stephen501.

'She was absolutely giddy about it': Sadistic HR person from Hell gossips about upcoming layoffs


Sometimes, what can ruin your Mom's birthday lunch has nothing to do with you or the food. Sometimes, it's the people at the nearby table, whose conversation completely consumes your attention and, therefore, your meal experience. 

 

This was the case for u/Hunter_Este, who posted this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit about how the birthday lunch he organized for his Mom was completely commandeered by a nearby discussion between a "scum" HR person and her friend. The conversation regarded upcoming layoffs, and the woman from HR was "absolutely giddy" about the opportunity to select who will get fired and to "get back" at the people who allegedly deserve it. She and her friend gossipped about stalking the profiles of all the people she was intending to fire.

 

People's livelihoods are not part of an episode of reality television. Even if these folks had wronged the HR lady in some way, gaining enjoyment from other people's suffering in the workplace will always backfire. The real victim in this story is u/Hunter_Este's Mom, who deserved a nice lunch without having to hear this nonsense. 

 

This will certainly not be the last time unacceptable workplace drama makes waves. This recent story involved an employee who stood up to his manager after getting in trouble for being a few minutes late just once.
