Man, this one really sucks for the kids. It's hard when it's the adults causing all the issues and the kids suffer from the adults failed relationships with each other. Especially when whatever differences that emerge are being handled in extremely toxic ways.
Going to go with NTA here although it's a shame they all can't get along.
Not only does this boss go out of their way to try and punish a productive employee for sitting at a stool with a broken foot, they go on to try and play off their mistake by calling their worker disrespectful. Is it so surprising that this boss might have some upcoming staffing issues? After that the floor kind of broke open on Twitter for people to tell similar tales of unreasonable bosses. For some more wild work stories, here are the weirdest things people got in trouble for at work.
We live in a big world full of all kinds of people. And when you get people in remote parts of the world, they start to use language in an extremely localized way, to the point that accents can vary from town to town. It's almost like watching an evolutionary tree as it branches off and bends itself into new forms. And what we see here is the English-language version of a Platypus.
We all get a kick out of reading poorly worded scam emails claiming that there are "funs waiting in our accont, to be delivered on receaipt of deposit" but honestly they've never been given the funk treatment they deserve. Thanks to Jazz Emu, that previously unknown need has been satisfied to its utmost extent.
Every story has a good ending. Even if it's not always a happy one.
Fortunately this one ticks both boxes and everyone lives happily ever after as they fly away off into sky in a magical red car. While "You're the One That I Want" sounds joyfully in the distant background.
This heart warming tale goes to show that not ever family conflict has to end in years of estrangement and that it is possible to find common ground. And that's a great realization to have.
For some reason, being a customer brings out the worst in people. It makes them think that it's a good idea to destroy property, come up with stupid excuses to not tip, and sit on the chicken. Sometimes it's utter obliviousness while other times it's very real malicious intent. But the reason doesn't matter, it all still ends up with customer service having to clean up the messes. For some frustrating yet satisfying examples of entitlement backfiring, here are some shameless cheapskates who were their own worst enemies.
It's not fun to have a power-tripping boss, but when that boss begins to trip over their own power? That feels better than sinking into a hot bubble bath after digging a hole in the rain. This CEO had every opportunity to not be as irrational as they were, but she just couldn't do it. So in the end, she suffered the wrath of Louise.
When it comes to being an 87-year-old grandma walking down the street wearing an absurd shirt that says "haters gonna hate" or "fart queen" the thing we have to remember is that shame probably isn't a word that's in her vocabulary. There's something kind of beautiful in the ability to wear literally whatever you want and completely not care what anyone thinks about it. That said, people choose to wear some pretty bold things. For the fashion police out there, here's some questionable clothing and fashion failures.
There's a tradition in the U.S. navy that no submarine is lost at sea, and every Christmas a broadcast is sent out to all the crews of those subs still on duty. Tumblr found out about it, so naturally they had something to make of it. Give Tumblr an interesting bit of info about the Navy and they'll turn it into an excellently macabre but also sort of heartwarming pitch for "Ghost Boats 2: The Reghostening."
As millennials start to take over the work force, it's our time to realize why everyone older than us was always so constantly tired. How old are the millennials now? Something like 30 but sometimes hitting 40. What do we do abut back pain? Not sure yet. Some say vacation helps, but we'll never know what that is. Here are more millennial memes for those kids hovering around 30.
Anyone who has ever punched a time clock has had to deal with that pesky amount of time in between when you're physically at work and when that work technically starts. And depending on the place, that time is treated differently. When it comes to being so late that you're inconveniencing your coworkers, that's not exactly fair to them. But at the same time, being at work and not getting paid totally blows. The internet weighed in on the issue of the whole "starting your job exactly when it starts" thing, and depending on the expectations surrounding it, the answers varied.
As the saying goes, "it's not stupid if it works." There should be a small addendum to this adage, maybe something like "it's not stupid if it works and also it looks like it could start a fire at any second." These questionable fixes and modifications all required ingenuity, but some more than others might require a fire extinguisher pretty soon too.
It's unusual to get these kinds of heebie jeebies when looking at a mammal, but this isn't any normal mammal. Tumblr takes a look at the weird, cold-blooded, cave-dwelling, forward eyed goat that looks like the kind of thing you would never tell about your parties. It's as if this is the reason that some goats scream.
Granted there aren't any "smart" ways to accidentally slip and fall into a vat acid, here are some extremely avoidable and terribly absurd situations people escaped with their lives. In summary, don't fall asleep while driving, make sure electronic devices are unpluggled while taking them apart, and for god's sake look both ways before crossing the street. Here are some life-ruining bullets people dodged as well as various things that can be surprisingly dangerous.
Tumblr is a tangled web of thoughts and observations. As we weave these webs of information into tapestries of meaning, we realize just how much time people are willing to take to express the most inconsequential, silly, and dumb thoughts on the internet. But they aren't without their own weight. And there's something beautiful in that. Plus lots of cat pictures. For some more tumblr thoughts, here are random and ridiculous tumblr gems to fight the clawing boredom.
