Millennials Want to be Abducted by the 'Gameboy Mom' in Nostalgic '90s Police Video Warning Kids of Stranger Danger

Remember those caution videos our parents and teachers would make us watch telling us not to help a stranger look for their lost dog? They were classic warning videos, usually hosted by a man in uniform, warning kids of "stranger danger." Did the '90s generation come up with that term, "stranger danger??" It feels like it wasn't a thing until the '70s went by with the most serial k¡llers and the '80s with it's drvg epidemic and the '90s finally came and parents finally had and told us things like, "I don't care if it's an old lady who has fallen on the ground and can't get up, you do not talk to them." Well, one of these classic stranger danger videos from the '90s has resurfaced on Instagram and this time it features a woman with a Gameboy asking if you will come to her car with her to help her change the batteries so you guys can play video games on it together. The video tells you to stay away from this suspicious woman, but people on the Internet have a different opinion…

Employee Says He's Available Every Day Except Sunday, Gets Fired After Only 6 Days on the Job

Here is yet another story where boundary setting led to wrongful termination!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/noahgrice, who explained how after less than one week on the job at a grocery store chain, he was fired simply because he mentioned to his manager that he was available every day of the week except for Sundays.

 

Considering that they never mentioned the importance of Sunday availability during the hiring process, this is 100% the fault of the horrible bosses of the world. No matter what it is you do, workers are entitled to say when they're not available without needing to explain anything further or risk penalties as a result of setting boundaries. 

 

You'd think at this point we wouldn't need to say this in 2022, yet here we are. Until the people who are foolishly clinging to exploitative work environments retire and accept that this is not the way we should be doing things anymore, we have to keep calling these people out.

 

We've seen plenty of stories involving horrible bosses and wretched management, like this one where an office supply store employee got revenge on her evil manager.

'I was totally bewildered, she actually expected an inheritance' : Entitled employee costs boss $5,000 in losses, gets fired, still expects ‘inheritance’ after his passing, wife takes petty revenge

When you think of the words 'inheritance' and 'employee', you don't normally find a relation. That's because bosses usually don't leave their workers any inheritance, which… makes sense, right? Not to this employee, it didn't. She had worked for her former boss (who was a remodeler) for many years, and let's just say she wasn't exactly a 'model' employee. She would borrow tools, returning them only after long periods of time, completely broken. She was eventually caught stealing from one of her boss's clients, so he fired her.

Fast forward a bit, and he became ill. After his passing, this employee approached his wife and told her that she expected an 'inheritance'. To say his wife was shocked would be an understatement. But instead of turning her down, she decided to enact a plot for petty revenge. This employee was less than happy with the results of this plot.

Update! 'AITA for taking my niece to court over a coat?': Teen destroys $20k coat and brags about her prank online

This is going to be the most expensive mistake this teen ever made after her aunt considers suing her! 

On a throwaway account, this woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with an important question regarding a family matter. As the OP writes, she married into a wealthy family who shower her with expensive presents. One of those happens to be a coat worth over $20,000! The OP writes that originally, she was hesitant to wear it after finding out how pricey the garment was. Apparently she had a premonition about what was going to happen. 

This woman's niece sounds not just like a dumb teen, but a malicious and dumb teen. She managed to destroy her aunt's expensive coat, and not only that, but she bragged about her deeds online. Her clout seeking is clearly going to cost her, though, as the OP shared in an update to the story. 

 After that, this traveller was psyched to get off an airplane first, but they didn't count on the other passengers getting seriously annoyed about it. 

'Some idiot put this cake's writing in cursive!': Upset parent roasted by employee over dumb birthday cake dispute

A bakery employee shared this tale of a cake mixup that must have been the most embarrassing day this customer ever had. At least this worker never let it leave their memory — it's just too funny!

Birthday parties are definitely one of the most fun parts of childhood, whether you were blowing out your own candles, or visiting someone else's house to give them gifts. But in all the commotion of parties, do kids really care about or notice their birthday cake? I don't think so, but this one woman was really convinced that her toddler was going to absolutely hate his birthday cake. 

As the OP shared to r/Talesfromretail, they encountered this woman who began complaining about the bakery. She was incensed about this cake; it seems like she was really winding up to a full-scale Karen meltdown. However, the OP managed to stop this perturbed parent in her tracks by shouting commonsense questions at her. She'll never live it down!

'You didn't do anything about it?': Manager underestimates busboy and tries to scapegoat him, other workers quit

It's always best to take advice from and listen to the person who knows best… and just because you're in charge doesn't automatically mean that that's you. Even the most base level of worker will know more than you about niche details and processes regarding their role. That's the reason why, when entering a new leadership position, it's always best to observe and learn before acting and making changes. There will reach a point where you need to step in and make some changes, some of which may not be popular; Still, you'd do well to listen to the feedback you receive from these workers. And when things don't go according to plan, you'd better own your own mistakes.

This worker shared a story from their younger days working as a busboy, in which they were faced with a manager who refused to heed their warnings or take their advice. And when things went wrong, they tried to cover their own ass by scapegoating the busboy.
