Major Parenting Fail: New Mom Was Not Prepared for Diaper Change Catastrophe
It's no secret that being a new mom is hard, but this woman had a wild night.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/Parenting subreddit by u/khat96, who honestly should be a comedian because the way in which she described her son's Chernobyl-level explosion is one for the books. Without getting into details, let's just say that this woman anticipated that her baby boy needed a diaper change, but she did not anticipate the sheer amount of material that needed to be cleaned. After an emergency bath that seemingly resolved the issue, it only got worse (we'll let her elaborate).
We hope this woman has not only recovered from this traumatic experience but also that she either books herself on SNL or signs a book deal. Something good has to come out of this. I'd read anything by her even if I never have children. For more family drama, take a look at this story about a mom who called the cops on her husband, and keep scrolling below for u/khat96's full account of the situation!
'She was extremely offended.' Rude dude demands fresh pastries despite already being told they were fresh
The unspoken meaning of words can say more than the words themselves. For this reason, it's always best to guard one's words carefully to ensure that you don't accidentally give the wrong impression or make the wrong implication.
That's what this guy failed to consider when he basically accused a bakery owner of lying to him when he insisted on receiving only fresh pastries. He had already been into the bakery earlier in the day and been told that the pastry he was after was not ready yet. When he returned later in the day to find the pastries available he was still unusually suspicious of their freshness.
It really does beg the question -why on earth does he still go to this bakery if he really thinks their product is that poor? You might think he'd have found another spot after several instances of unsatisfactory experiences, rather than continuing to return and make wild accusations. This was one of the main points that commenters suggested on the thread when they decided that the poster was the a-hole in this situation.

'Set the interview on fire and somehow got offered the job still': Guy calls out interviewer for lying on the job posting
This guy gave his potential employer the middle finger after he fed him the tired "Nobody wants to work anymore" line.
And with good reason too! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/acfreeman94, who broke down exactly how he called out his interviewer for being completely shady. First, the job posting online was a blatant lie: the Redditor currently works at $32/hour and it turns out this job was actually only offering $18/hour. Second, throughout the interview, there were references to a dust problem in the office that has yet to be resolved. That clearly shows how these people view office conditions for their employees.
The funny part is that after the Redditor called the interviewer out on all of this, a few days later, the same guy called back offering a ~generous~ increase in pay to $20/hour. Sir, sit down! As the Redditor pointed out, it's not just that people don't want to work anymore; it's that they don't want to do it at such low wages. If these idiots don't actually start listening to their employees and interview candidates, they will be stuck with no one. Oh, and fix that dust issue!

'This mean anything to you?': Cop tries to flash his badge and use intimidation to get drinks for underaged daughter
The problem with misusing your authority and making a scene is that it makes all those you are associated with look bad. That also goes for any organizations or groups who you might be affiliated with. This is why it's so important to conduct oneself in a manner that suits your station -whether you're on duty or off. Just take this off-duty hotel manager who was fired for being rude to the staff of another hotel as a prime example.
This server took to Reddit's r/talesfromyourserver community to share an experience they had while serving an off-duty cop and his family. The server shares that while he was serving a man and his daughter trouble started when the two tried to order a drink for the young woman. When it became apparent that she didn't have identification with her, the server became certain that she must have been underage. Whether this assumption was correct or not is uncertain, it's not uncommon for some women in their mid-to-late twenties to appear as if they are under the drinking age despite being well clear of it. Regardless, it's the law that you have to be carrying a valid ID for exact such reason, and this young woman did not have one with her.
Her father started getting himself worked up and flashed his police badge and made vague threats in an attempt to persuade the waiter into serving his daughter.
Read on to see screenshots of this story, as told by u/CasualSquirrel, posted on the popular Reddit community.
Funniest Memes for People Struggling to Keep Their Cool at Work
For anyone that's ever worked in customer service or retail, it's funny how often and how easy it is to absolutely lose yourself to red-blind rage. For some reason, customers and people who feel entitled to some sort of service, are somehow the most inadequate, infuriating, and enraging human beings in the world.
Yes, Ma'am, per the sign outside, we are only open from 10-9pm-- no, we won't stay open for you.
Customers just think that the world revolves around them, which as an employee, can get super annoying. However, there are some redemption moments in customer service where you can pull the "as per my last email" card or even the "you are speaking to the manager already" card. Nothing feels better than that retribution.
However, there are times when work brings you to your wits end, here are some relatable memes of those exact, painstaking moments in our lives.
