MIL Insults Stage Manager's Job After Requesting Discounted Tickets to Upcoming Show

If you want a favor from someone… Isn't it kind of insane to insult the person who you're requesting said favor from? Bonus insanity points for insulting whatever skill or position that is allowing them to do said favor for you. You can't have your ignorant-ass cake and eat it too.

Selfish Father Spends Daughter's Tuition Money on a New Kitchen

After his daughter decided to drop out of college and move in with her boyfriend, this father made the choice to use the rest of the tuition money he set aside for her on the remodeling of his kitchen. When his daughter's relationship inevitably fell apart and she expressed a desire to go back to school, the money was gone. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Particular-Bar9216, who turned to the judges of the AITA community online to seek approval for what was clearly a messed up decision. At first, people in the comments section were receptive to what this guy did. After all, his daughter made a terrible mistake in putting her entire future in the hands of her boyfriend. However, her father seemed relieved to be able to spend this money and was less interested in ensuring that his daughter would be okay if the relationship were to fail (which it obviously did). Sure, the daughter learned an "expensive lesson," as one comment below pointed out, but the dad's quick choice to spend all that money says a lot about the kind of parent he is. Thankfully, he's not my dad.

'[Our boss] hates it': Clock-watching micromanagers get the tables turned on them in these two threads

There's something infuriating about a manager who doesn't trust you enough to let a little "give and take" slide. There will always be natural stopping points in a lot of workplaces where starting something new with ten minutes remaining until the end of the workday doesn't make sense. At this point, it makes sense to call it a day, knowing that you'll probably arrive ten minutes early tomorrow to get started or get stuck working late some other day this week. It's part of the natural ebb and flow that adds a little grey to the black-and-white rules of timekeeping.

Enter: These clock-watching micromanagers. These types of managers operate in a world where things are black or white; they have little to no understanding of what a "grey area" is and probably don't have enough stupid brain cells to power that function anyways. These managers will be watching that clock like a hawk, and you had better be at your desk from 8 am (on the dot) until 5 pm, no exceptions. Oh, unless you need to work late or come in early to finish something —That, to them, is a suitable exception.

Well, these workers turned the tables on their clock-watching micromanagers and decided that if they weren't allowed to leave early or come in late, then they wouldn't be coming in early or staying late either; This was far more than these managers were prepared to comprehend.

The first thread starts on #1, and the second on #8.

Funniest Memes for People Who Hate Their Job and Count Down the Seconds Until Friday at 5PM

Work is a necessary evil in most peoples lives. We have bills to pay and mouths to feed okay? No, I'm not passionate about customer service, no it wasn't my childhood dream to optimize SEO for a midlevel company, and I certainly never wanted to "be my own boss" for an MLM business. Obviously there are exceptions, some people love their work, but for the rest of the population, one thing can be agreed upon in mass. 

 

Work sucks. 

 

So maybe you've faked being sick because you simply can't imagine talking to another Karen over the cash register, or you have daily mantras reminding you of how this will all pay off on your bi-weekly payday. That's perfectly normal. The work/life balance is a constant struggle that everyone deals with. So plan your next vacation to Hawaii during work hours because maybe that's the only thing keeping you clocking in these days-- the promise of tropical paradise.
