Having a boss not like you because of their own personal biases is its own nightmare, especially if they start making up rules just to sabotage you. Luckily these situations can end with justice, like this woman who got back at her unfair sexist boss or this racist Canadian boss who got deported.

Ok boomer, give the blame game a rest. This Tumblr user went on a passionate rant about how the millennial generation is doing the best they can with the state of the world they live in. That being said, it'd be great to see less of people lumping everyone together based off the generation they were born in. Just cause you're a baby boomer or a millennial, doesn't mean you're going to share the same values as everyone else in that generation.

Incompetent power-tripping managers can get themselves into some really stupid situations, like this boss who demanded a special contractor be on call 24/7 and ended up with a $10K invoice. In lucky situations, incompetent managers get called on their BS and have to actually deal with the ramifications of their actions, rather than pushing the burden onto their employees.

It seems like no one here is that great of a person, but such it is in the cut-throat world of office chili cook-offs. For some office stuff, here's a twitter thread about an umbrella that locked out an entire company for days, and here are funny office notes.

The stupid runs deep in these moments of pure and unadulterated facepalm. Some people just lack that sweet thing called common sense, and unfortunately seem to have the most to say on social media. From there the rest of the world's left puzzled, and helpless to not bring palm to face.

The good news here is that they somehow didn't get sick from the 35-year-old can of Coke. Definitely didn't see things going that way.
