People are talking a whole lot about "quiet quitting" but not a lot about "quiet promotions."

'The [two] girls had no idea that I even play': Friendly volleyball game gets turned on its head when newcomers take things too far
There's nothing worse than when someone takes a friendly competition way too far and ruins it by being overly competitive. I say this as someone who used to be toxically over-competitive. I cringe thinking about the nights of family bowling and board games I ruined in my teens with my toxic attitude. But, never fear, there is someone out there who never outgrew this behavior and is in their mid-thirties but still determined to beat their grandmother into the dirt during a family game of Croquet. I guarantee you know someone who is like this and I guarantee that you hate doing things with them. Maybe you are this person? If so this is your message that your friends and family hate doing things with you and are not in the slightest bit impressed that you won your family bowling night with a score of 129.
Don't get me wrong, friendly and healthy competition is fun, and being super competitive at something can be awesome when it's in the right setting, and all parties are ready to engage with the activity in that way. But you have to read the damn room and realize when your behavior is not suited to the event at hand.
Anyways, this is a story about exactly what I've described above; Two newcomers take a friendly competition way too far and bring out the sleeping beast within. The story was originally posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by Reddit user u/just_wanna_share.

'Bonjour homies': Boomers fail to entice young people with most ridiculous job posting
I guess boomers really are desperate to find people who are willing to work for them. This Linkedin post, which was reposted via this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/Etna_No_Pyroclast, just goes to show how out of touch employers are and how obvious their BS is.
This job posting may be riddled with millennial and Gen-Z language like "dank," "dope," and "vibes," but what it doesn't include is any legitimate detail about the company, the job, and of course, the pay. Do employers really think anyone in 2022 looking for work is going to fall for this? Young people don't want "vibes" as much as they want fair pay and transparency. Sure, "vibes" are nice. "Vibes" are great. Nothing against "vibes." But "vibes" do not pay rent and they do not assure me that I'm going to get health benefits, a sound company culture, and a strong work/life balance. "Vibes" are just "vibes."

'Good riddance': Trashy neighbors refuse to stop using driveway, get towed, arrested, and fined
When this Redditor purchased a new house that had been sitting vacant for some time, they unwittingly placed themself in uncomfortably close proximity to trashy neighbors who refused to respect their property and space. They had apparently spread out like an amoeba into the empty lot and had been using the property as their own for some time. Despite repeated requests not to park their cars in the driveway that were blocking contractors from accessing the property, the family refused to comply. The Redditor was forced to take more drastic measures and had their cars towed, and had the father of the family arrested for trespassing.
These neighbors are people who don't understand rules and won't respond to anything except negative stimulation. Considering their collective brain power equalling somewhere around that of a Chihuahua, he would never get anywhere with them.
The Redditor, u/rodeopete3281, shared their story to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, where users applauded his approach.

Timely Memes for People Well Into Their Thirties
When we think about the course of our lives, there are many years that tend to stick out. Our teenage years, for one. Why are they so engrained in our minds? We literally get reminded of them with every new TV show and coming-of-age film that comes out. Why are we still watching them? We couldn't begin to answer that question.
Other ages that come to mind are 21, obviously, and 25 maybe because hey, we can rent a car at that point, that's pretty exciting. The bummer is that it seems like all of the big memorable years end after your 20s and then you just get a nice pat on the back with every additional decade you surpass. Maybe we're just overthinking it though. Who knows?
Anyway, if you're in your thirties and just hoping to relate to something on the internet, look no further. We got you fam.
