29 Stupendous Starter Packs to Start Your Sorry Day With
Some people have just got way too much time on their hands, and thank the gods for that. Sifting through all these Starterpacks has restored our general faith in humanity's ability to be innovative, creative, and consistent. Seriously… respect. Some people just pull 'em off in a way that does the subject justice. If you've been scouring the internet (more specifically Reddit) for a while now, you'll know of the subreddit that exists for the sole purpose of creating Startpacks. There were a few that were so wild that we were slightly surprised weren't reported, but hey – free speech, right?
There's a little something here for everyone. Quick spoiler – if you're a Midwestern dude or babe, you're gonna find quite a few you'll relate to. Heck, if you're over the age of 30 you'll most likely relate to most of them. There were a few that made us feel personally attacked. Scroll down to judge people's impeccable skills, or just sift through for a good relatable laugh. If you wanna check out some pics that prove that expectation doesn't always necessarily line up with reality, click here.
'What am I supposed to do with all these pies?': Horrible manager gives unclear baking instructions, now everyone takes home free pies
Sometimes, malicious compliance can have delicious results! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Ok-Fishing-6604, represents another story in which a horrible boss flipped out as a result of her own poor leadership.
A few Thanksgivings ago, the Redditor was a college student working at a grocery store. She stayed behind and worked late one night at her manager's request to handle all the upcoming pie orders. The problem was that when the original poster asked her manager exactly how many to bake, the boss rolled her eyes and made some obnoxious comment about how the Redditor should just keep baking until she showed up. And if that's not a recipe for malicious compliance, I don't know what is! At the end of the day, 400 pies were baked (there were only 100 orders as it turns out), and the Redditor couldn't get in any real trouble because, well, she was just doing what she had been told to do. The bonus was that all her coworkers got to take home extra pies for the holidays. Like I said, sometimes malicious compliance can have delicious results.
