Toxic GF steals dude's beloved car and hauls it to junk yard
This guy was stunned to find out that his girlfriend had not only stolen his beloved car, but she took it to be scrapped. U/Jimothyisyouruncle shared this story to r/AmItheA**hole, and it's a truly wild tale.
The OP let his GF live with him during for a few months, but she's hated his car since day one. The 1967 Impala really grinds her gears, all because it's parked in the spot she wants to put her own car in. The OP told her, "Tough luck," since there were other places to park it. But then, he left town on a business trip for several days, and the car had suddenly disappeared!
While the OP's GF was acting nice towards him at first, it was only to soften the blow when she told him that she'd hired people to get rid of this car that he loves so much. The OP wrote an original post plus an update, as well as answering questions in the comments.
Next, this guy got to tell his former boss to kick rocks, all for a very satisfying reason.

'Sorry, I've got a new job now': Boss insists employee delete all backup files in order to save money, has major regrets
What this boss says goes, so this employee just did exactly as his manager asked him. Some bosses just always have to be right, no matter what their employees say. U/oldman712 shared this excellent tale of malicious compliance, and commenters then shared their own tales below. As the OP wrote, he was a software prototype designer who usually worked with individual clients. He'd save their projects on various terabytes, which the actually bought with his own money!
While the OP cared about his clients, new management entered the picture, and they began cutting costs. Due to age discrimination, the OP was forced out of his job, and even had to train his replacement. But by following his company's rules to the letter, he ended up having the last laugh.
Next up, this introvert just got a new coworker who's friendly and talkative — and they have the exact same commute every single day.
'I don't want a travel buddy': Introvert trapped in super awkward commute with talkative new coworker
The commute to work is supposed to be a sacred space of personal time, but this woman's cheerful coworker is ruining it for her. As u/PersonalYesterday865 wrote to the British Problems subreddit, she's struggling with her people-pleasing ways. She's not quite sure what to do about her friendly coworker who just started working at the same job as her. The OP has learned that they take the exact same commute, and as an introvert, she's freaking out about losing her much-needed alone time.
Luckily for the OP, people in the comments had lots of advice! Some was pretty goofy, but there were also lots of people who'd endured similar awkward scenarios. A few people suggested just being honest and straightforward about the commute issue. If she just tells her coworker that she's looking forward to reading or sleeping during the commute, maybe he'll leave her be! As a fellow introvert, I feel for this OP, and I hope she can figure out her exit strategy with all this advice.

'LOL or what? They're gonna fire you?': Neglectful Management Triples Employee's Workload During Her Last 2-Weeks After Forcing Her to Resign via Email, She Epically Refuses
Sometimes the amount of audacity upper management has is unbelievably astronomical. Like, how is that even possible? Welcome to the world of *~capitalism~*. It's not like the old days anymore, however, where people took the abuse of their managers and bosses because they needed to put food on the table for their family of 10. No. Now we are choosing uncertainty and peace over abuse and security.
For instance, one woman on Reddit recently posted asking if she should put any extra effort into her last two weeks at a job she absolutely hated. The management had been so neglectful of her that when she begged for them to arrange a face-to-face meeting they ignored her, so she was forced to quit via email. She has been nothing but an exemplary employee, but it would appear they did not think she deserved enough respect to provide an exit meeting for her. Though she did the best she could to train her replacement, she has had it. Now, her upper bosses fill her email inbox with demands of this and that. The thing is, this is her last two weeks and she is over it. So she has zero efforts left to give.
You better believe the internet whole-heartedly supports the decision to spot putting in any kind of effort for those toxic managers. She already gave the courtesy of a 2-weeks notice, if they are going to continue to disrespect her to the very last minute of her working there, then she should just stop working.
