Glorified Manager Tries To Monopolize Sales Calls, Lives To Regret It

Man oh man, some of the world's managers really never should've been put in the positions of power that they were in the first place. It sounds like Jeff was possessed by blind greed to such an extent that it was only a matter of time before he ended up engineering his own demise. I wonder how many moments Jeff had where he was up late at night, tossing and turning, soaked in sweat, bogged down by the burn of regret. It's like, he was the one who ultimately ended up complicating his own life. For another entertaining tale of malicious compliance, check out the time that a Karen presenter demanded a crappier hotel, and got it.

Scheming Rotten Salad Lady Gets Banished From Deli Section

Anyone who has worked retail has probably crossed paths with a customer who's tried to pull the ol' return scam. They'll claim they bought something, it was defective, have no proof , but still demand a refund. It even works sometimes, like in this tale of employees getting bamboozled by the chicken lady. The thing is, people who pull this off once seem to get a taste for it and frequently try to recreate the scheme, often at the same store. Good luck with that.

Sparkling Tweets And Shining Tumblr Gems To Gander At

The days are long and sometimes we need strength against boredom in the form of tweets and Tumblr gems.

But hey, that's how it goes with Tumblr gems and tweets.

Dude Uses Fake Mail To Mess With Mail Thieving Ex

Clearly, sometimes, folks just aren't meant to be together. It would seem that these two are undeniably in that boat.

Dogs With Embarrassingly Laughable Haircuts

Okay, sometimes dogs need to be shaved for medical reasons. That doesn't make them look less silly, but at least those ones have an explanation.

Angry Systems Manager Learns He Engineered Own Nightmare

We've all lost some work to the fates of computer junk, but usually we have the benefit of blaming the system we're using. We get to say "damn this program, I thought I had that crap saved but it's done screwed me over again!" But not this time. IT gets some characters, like this guy who thought he knew better than IT but learned otherwise.

Entitled People With Their Fantastical Demands

The world is a big place full of all kinds of people. Unfortunately, some of those people are the kind of entitled people who want to play absurd games. The kind of people who will make their employees pay them for the privilege of working for them. The kind of people who will throw a tantrum because they are too old to get a free donut. Entitled people and their excruciating behavior are a phenomenon that is impossible to look away from.

Tumblr Thread: Implications Of A Sleep Starved Society

The name of the game in this educational Tumblr thread is to not sleep on sleep. Those zzz's are crucial toward maintaining some kind of balance in one's life. With that being said, we clearly live in a society that oftentimes operates at such a fast and competitive pace that actually locking down the proper amount of sleep every night can become a terrible challenge in and of itself. Keep the Tumblr vibes going with this collection of totally random, strange, and on point Tumblr gems. 

Man Assumes Computer Will Work During Power Outage

Yeah man, that's not how it goes. This guy apparently assumed that his computer would be able to function during a power outage, by running off of a watch battery. Suffice to say, that's not how it works at all. You've really got to feel for these poor folks that work tech support, and then end up encountering some truly, soberingly clueless individuals. For another tale from the tech support world, check out this story about a CEO who assumed his computer had been hacked, and then learned how a keyboard works. 

History Memes To Explore The Depths of Time

We can only watch 90 Day Fiancé and reruns of Doug for so long before we start to long for some dense historical texts, and these history memes to become with time seem to fit that need alright. Who needs social skills when we can chortle heartily over references to various Mongol invasions and treaty signings? History memes are the light in the darkness.

A Couple Wonderfully Petty Parking Lot Revenges

Parking lots effortlessly bring out people's nastiest sides. There's just something about the way that so many people operate in this world, where it amounts to them turning into completely frantic animals when it comes time to exercise just a little bit of social decency while navigating a parking lot. Maybe you'll end up taking a note out of these people's books for the next time you find yourself confronting a parking lot bully, and ready to enact a petty revenge to "make things right." 

Crazed Customer Demands Their Subscription is Cancelled, Customer Service Representative Does Exactly What They Ask

All is fair in love and war. The same principle applies if you're going to be abusive and make demands from a customer service rep. 

It's amazing that people still fail to realize that the best way to get a good result from a customer service rep is to be as pleasant as you can possibly be to them and go out of your way to make this the one call of their day that is a real human experience. If you can tell that you are getting stonewalled by the process they have to follow for a call then it is ok to escalate in order to get the necessary result. But you can be nice while you do it. You know?

Props to this call rep for giving the customer exactly what they asked for. The ensuing meltdown was well deserved. 

Highly Questionable Design Fails

The Worst Work Suck-Ups People Witnessed

Everyone has different instincts for how to stick around at their job. Some people just do a good job. Other people try to maintain a low profile. And then there are the brown-nosers. The people who's personalities change on a dime when the boss is around. The guy who buys his boss lunch. The coworker who will do anything for a shot at sniffing their manager's shoes. People have enough work horror stories to go around. Maybe some work memes would help.
