'Go away': The life of an introvert as told by 25+ memes and fails


Being an introvert is a constant negotiation between your desire for "me time" and literally everything else in the universe. That means your folks, friends, significant others, work colleagues, and all other responsibilities. Really all these things do at the end of the day is get in the way of you having your Me Time. Sure, if you want to be a responsible, well-adjusted adult, you have to find balance for all those things. 

 

However, if you're like me and you have no interest in being a responsible, well-adjusted adult, all you really want to do is cancel any and all plans with any and all people. So, if this mentality resonated with you at all, keep scrolling below for this collection of memes and fails for introverts everywhere. If you are one of those so-called extroverts and you're curious how the other half lives, these certainly are for you as well. For more content like this, check out these disastrous dating fails!

You can learn a lot about someone just by watching the way they treat other people. On this r/askreddit thread, people shared that, along with other ways to determine if someone's trustworthy as you get to know them. The answers are interesting and eye opening — and you can tell some people only know their answers from personal experiences

Some folks advised that you should keep an eye out for how people treat waiters or other service workers. If they're rude or dismissive towards them, that's a major sign that they don't treat people with basic respect.

'I do not schedule interviews for candidates who are currently employed': HR shows true colors with bogus hiring policy, internet reacts


We all know that employers can be ruthless during the hiring process, but this hiring manager made it clear just how ruthless they can be. It goes without saying that insisting that the only candidates you interview are ones who are not currently employed full-time is a major red flag. First of all, it's quite clearly a tactic to exploit the desperation of unemployed candidates. Secondly, it's wildly limiting; don't you want candidates who are seeking you out as a potentially better place to work? I guess that doesn't really matter to hiring managers like these ones. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit, and the comments provide a glimpse into just how common this ridiculous hiring policy actually is. Imagine if this Redditor quit their job just so they could be considered for this one. In this economy? No way! Keep scrolling below for the best comments!
