What compels a news crew to do this bad a job of covering a haunted house? Maybe they ran out of time? Maybe they were all upset that they had to be there in the first place? Maybe the reporter doesn't know what feelings like "fear" or "joy" are and is just doing a poor recreation of those emotions she's heard about? Or maybe, just maybe, no one gave a single heck, and the voice really didn't help. The whole thing is just awkward, man.
This guy just needs to make the extra effort to steer clear of any possible collisions while on the road. Outside of that, this is some brilliant work.
Some people's brains seem to instantaneously go completely haywire when they find themselves knee-deep in a moment of undeniable failure. This Karen clearly fits the bill for such a spontaneous emotional combustion.
Living in a society means sometimes having to make concessions for the people who live around you. For instance, if someone is doing emergency pipe repairs at 11 pm, you don't have a good enough reason to go outside, turn off their equipment, and threaten them with a piece of wood. This guy had a hard time understanding that concept, so he had the concept understood for him. For a satisfying work story, here's the janitor who dressed up, got confused for his manager and got his job.
Ever wanted a haunted doll? Ever thought to yourself "I'd love to defraud the Salvation Army, but where do I get one of them buckets?" Well the answer is predictably, all over the internet and in the form of dumb junk people tried selling online. The fact is that some of these are jokes and some of these were posted in complete earnestness. The thing is, the ones you want to be jokes are never the ones that actually are.
The devil really is in the details. This manager was clearly one of those profoundly tiresome human beings who refuses to be reasonable. The good news for the employee in this situation is that their manager failed to read up on the very contract that they used as a fallback, when trying to skip out on paying their employee for their unused vacation days. Suffice to say, it's a sweet fairytale ending. If you want to keep the malicious compliance going, check out this story about a customer service rep who cancelled a rude customer's television service while he watched.
It might be your job to paint lines on a road. But nowhere in your job description does it say you need to move any cars, forklifts, rocks or extension cords. Sure, some of those responsibilities might be assumed, but the cunning worker knows that doing anything other than the loosest interpretation of their exact job description is the way to get things done without unnecessary perspiration. These "not my job" moments of professional apathy are a thing of beauty.

The constant grind of employment is a double-edged sword. On one hand, we wish we had enough free time to go on a meaningful trip, learn woodworking and take a pottery class. On the other hand, being able to sleep in a warm bed and eat regular meals is pretty nice. As we all slowly become people who relate to those mugs about not being talked to before having our coffee, and hang up posters of cats in predicaments, we must ask ourselves, "is this a meaningful life?" And out of the darkness we hear an answer that says "your 2004 Civic's check engine light is on." Here are some more work memes.
They say power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But give one person autonomy over a coffee maker or a copier and watch as they reign over their microscopic empire with indomitable will and fist of iron. Seriously, give the wrong person authority over something as small as a broom closet and they'll manage to turn it into a broom kingdom. For a power play, here's an unreasonable boss who threatened a deli guy's job, to which he said "okay."
The world's not going to run out of wildly entitled choosy beggars anytime soon. This emotional rollercoaster revolves around a choosy beggar who seemingly can't locate their common sense.

Check out some more shameless cheapskates that were their own worst enemies over here.
Unfortunately, the reality is that far too many of us have found ourselves dealing with infuriatingly entitled coworkers that somehow, some way expect the most unrealistic things out of you.

The fact that the villainous boss in this fresh tale from Reddit's AITA community had the nerve to punish their waitress for being dangerously ill, is pretty mind blowing stuff. I mean, this waitress literally had to be airlifted to the ICU. We're not talking about a stuffy nose. She was in a dire, life-threatening state. You might be able to imagine who the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with.
It's a problem we've all experienced. Someone lodges the basketball into that exact perfect spot where it can get stuck riiiiight between the hoop and the backboard. Most of us would think to solve this trivial issue with a stick or even just a tall friend, but this genius has decided it's a job for his shoe. And guess what? That's not a shoe job.
