Sometimes, when work is unfair enough, overworked employees can revolt by literally just doing their job description.

Ricky Gervais just wants people to know they have options, options like checking out his show "After Life" instead of watching the "narcissistic plague" that encircles the Oscars. To make matters even better, people were asking Gervais what joke he'd open with tonight if he were hosting the Oscars. He was more than prepared to unleash that iconic razor sharp wit.
Revisit the timeless classic that was his Golden Globes monologue from this year over here, while you're at it.

It sounds like this young woman has a whole lot of growing up to do. This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for leaving his girlfriend at the airport, after realizing her passport was expired. The context is everything here though.

Hopefully they're able to salvage their friendship.

Twitter user @MsPackyetti kickstarted a viral thread with people sharing their favorite random facts. Fun facts can serve as a very effective means to break the ice at the next stuffy social gathering, or just as a way to expand your mental horizons. Definitely had no idea that the act of "cheersing" mugs comes from medieval suspicions that people were trying not to get poisoned, and would thus reassure themselves by spilling their drinks into each other's. Wild stuff, man.
