30 Interview Memes for Folks on the Job Hunt


Let's put it this way: it is just as important to know what not to say in a job interview as it is to know what you should say. We all know that there is a false etiquette when it comes to applying for jobs where you have to, I don't know, pretend to be a functioning human being in this world. Of course, if you actually end up getting hired, you can start revealing your true self. That being said, it's important to put on that fake smile and a false sense of confidence when you walk into that room or hop on that Zoom call.   Keep scrolling below for these interview memes, tweets, and fails. For more content like this, feel free to take a look at these coworker memes and this collection of stories about the worst thing that has happened to four folks during their job interviews.

'[This] is an act of war!': Laundry room hijacker gets what he deserves after throwing his neighbor's wet clothes on the floor; clothes are held hostage after petty revenge ensues


Laundry room etiquette isn't something you can learn from a book or read in a magazine. You learn about laundry rules from being in the trenches at the laundromat, slinging quarters for an extra 15 minutes to nuke your clothes and still have them come out a little damp. The fury you feel after experiencing a laundromat faux pas is what teaches you right from wrong. Are there no dryers left because someone forgot their clothes for 2 hours? Now that's a classic blunder– you can probably feel your blood boiling just at the thought. But as civilians in communal society, what's the right thing to do if you're put in a bind and your neighbors are being entitled jerks? Do you touch someone else's clothes in a blind rage? Or act according the standard grace period?  In this case, OP got royally disrespected in the laundry room and fell victim to an over-compensating, entitled jerk for after being 5 minutes late for his washer alarm and leaving his clothes unattended. OP returned to discover his beloved clothing soiled and soaking wet in a pile on the floor. Furious, he enacted the pettiest revenge possible on the culprit.  Scroll on for the juicy details and the Reddit backlash that lays out proper laundry etiquette for anyone who is uneducated on the social construct of the laundromat.

'I knew it would be a total mess': Micromanaging supervisor's simple mistake costs company $220k gets fired


Whenever someone is confidently incorrect, sometimes it's better not to argue with them. Instead, make sure you cover your own rear and let them do their thing… and watch the chaos unfold—just as this worker did when they got a micromanaging new boss. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the worker, Reddit user u/BrightRick. u/BrightRick explains that they worked for a catalog in the 80s. What's a catalog, you ask? Well, see, before the internet, people who were trying to sell stuff to you needed different methods for getting stuff in front of your eyeballs. In order to do this, every promotional season, they would mass-produce these magazines that were filled with every single product that they offered. They'd shoot these suckers off to your mom, dad, teacher, dog, and even your Aunt Shirley. They'd shove them into every single mailbox and sometimes skip that step and throw them right there in the street.  It wasn't great for the trees, but oh man, was it awesome when you were a kid. You could hand-pick every little thing (that you would have otherwise never known about) that you wanted to buy and harass your parents about it for months.  Anyways, this guy worked for one of these, and what happens when your catalog doesn't actually have the right stamp to be sent off anywhere? This supervisor was about to find out.  Tune in next time for when I explain phone books.

'The least you can do is get me... a small bottle of Chanel No. 5': Top 20 Choosing Beggars of the Week (June 14 2023)


These people are ready to haggle themselves the best possible deal. These "choosing beggars" are among the funniest this week. People from all over post their random sightings of people who need things, but really don't want to pay much for them, and also, they don't want to put much effort into getting these things. Some people really have the audacity to ask others to do chores for them — like removing a lengthy fence — and then want to be paid so that the buyer can take the scraps, which is probably worth pennies.  Check out these choosing beggars below, then read about some incredibly incompetent people who are driving their loved ones crazy.
