Guy Gets Mad at Girlfriend for Treating Her Car Like a Human, Gets Dumped
How dare he treat her this way?! Has he not SEEN Herbie Fully Loaded?
Breakups come in many shapes and sizes, but insulting the way someone treats their car is the biggest dealbreaker of all. Not even Beyoncé and Jay-Z could have survived that. This thread was posted on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Ok-Disk-5109, who wrote about how his girlfriend only refers to her vehicle as "Angie." When she takes her car to the gas station, it's because Angie's thirsty. When she takes her car to the wash, it's because Angie needs a bath. So on and so forth. When the original poster got drunk and exploded at his girlfriend, she gave him radio silence. Later, she found his Reddit post and dumped him. Angie, of course, thoroughly approved of this decision.
As the comments on Reddit seem to suggest, yes this is a very silly thing to do. But it's fun. Her wholehearted commitment to the bit is fun, and if he can't see that, he's a wet blanket. Redditors poked fun at the whole debacle and quipped that they consulted their cars for a new perspective.

Update: HR Department Adds Confidentiality Clause to Micromanaging Rules Following Viral Thread
It's never a good idea to double down on a mistake. Usually, if you're doing this, you're so narcissistically blind to your own faults that you don't see anything you do as a mistake in the first place. It's the same logic as going "double or nothing" on a bet once you've already lost all your chips. It just doesn't make logical sense to put yourself even further in the hole by refusing to know when to back away.
Well, this HR department clearly doesn't understand the principle of "double or nothing," as they have now doubled down foolishly on a position that caused their work site to go viral last week for all the wrong reasons.
Last week, this HR department posted a list of four 'Facility Rules' that hold no water in any legal capacity. The rules intended to micromanage workers and increase efficiency and productivity, but many workers felt that it crossed a line. We talked about this last week in this thread when the rules were initially posted.
The list included a requirement for being on-site five (unpaid) minutes before the shift starts, an (effective) ban on overtime, and enforced a maximum bathroom break time of 10 minutes. Workers on-site felt that these rules went too far, and one of them posted a photo of the posting to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, where it got viral views.
The worker has now returned to share a photo of the updated posting that seeks to add further clarification to some of the rules and now claims the following:
"Final reminder all internal memos are for internal use only and are CONFIDENTIAL Employees caught sharing internal communication material are subject to termination and/or civil penalties."
Scroll on to see the new amended rules before, and, as previously, you can view the original post here.
Graphic Designer Tries to Save Company and Client From Disney's Copyright Squadron, Boss Doesn't Listen Then Tries to Scapegoat Them
Disagreeing with your workplace superiors and the business owners typically isn't ever going to be well received, even when you're completely 100%, and verifiably, correct. Most people just don't like having their own ideas challenged, and fewer still have the ability to admit when they're wrong. Ego has a lot to say about this; most of us have fragile egos that are battling a persistent imposter syndrome masked by an outwardly excessive display of confidence and authority. Anything that this weary ego perceives as a threat will kill activity in our brain's frontal cortex and give the monkey part of our brain, the amygdala full control.
This amygdala hijack results in fight or flight, and in social or workplace settings, this is going to boil down to that person (your boss) looking for any reason to discredit you, subjugate you and otherwise assert their authority over you. That, or they will look for overt or subtle ways to can your a$$.
So, when Reddit user u/lost_hippie_311_420, who works as a graphic designer, tried to save their boss and client from the wrath of Disney's lawyer squadron, it wasn't well received. When the predictable outcome occurred, the boss tried to cover their own a$$ by scapegoating their unruly subordinate. Classic.
They posted their story to Reddit's r/maliciouscompliance subreddit to positive reactions from readers.

'Want some free gas? I gotcha bro!': Neighbor gets revenge on gas thieves with sabotaged gas canisters
These jokers thought it would be a laugh to repeatedly lift a couple of cans of gasoline off of their neighbor. What they couldn't fathom in their idiotic brains was how quickly their target wised up to their games. Right after the first time, from there on out, they were lifting bait cans consisting of a diabolical mix of all kinds of fuels. The mix basically boiled down to being the engine equivalent of what eating bacon grease mixed with Red Bull would do to your heart.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by Reddit user u/Affectionate_Gold_84, who told the story of their experience with their thieving neighbors, who also happened to be their wife's relatives. How does that figure? Well, it must be a small town. For his sake, I hope his wife isn't cut from the same cloth.
Readers shared their thoughts and reactions in the comments.
"Totalled two motors and cost them $2000 minimum, that's some pro revenge right there, served cold just the way it should be," remarked tbeslian.
"Wild that they didn't learn somewhere in the middle of the second one," mused GodOfAtheism. "But then again if they were smart they probably wouldn't be stealing folks' gas cans."

Desperate People on Tinder Using Queen Elizabeth II as Material for Pickup Lines
We're certain the Queen would be happy to know her legacy endures...on Tinder!
Yup, that's right. It did not take long for people to find a way to use the news about Queen Elizabeth II's passing to their advantage. I suppose when it comes to assessing how far people will go to fulfill their desperate needs, one need not look any further than Tinder, a cesspool of desperation.
These posts, which were compiled by threads on Reddit's r/Tinder subreddit, truly demonstrate the complex weight of collective grief…well, maybe not. Really, they demonstrate that people will do just about anything for attention. Like any trend, this will probably get old really quickly, as I'm sure every eligible woman in the world will receive some kind of pickup line within the next month related to the Queen herself.
