Viral Image of Insane Sign Promises Customers a Bounty For Turning In Employees


This viral image has drawn the ire of the internet and has popped up in multiple locations over the last few hours since it was first posted. 

The image was first posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by user u/fishshake, where Reddit's Admins quickly removed it for violating Reddit's terms of service and failing to redact personal information, including the name of the restaurant where the sign was allegedly posted and the email address of the owner. Despite the thread being deleted, it is still at the top of Reddit's r/all and has earned a whopping 52k upvotes. 

The alleged restaurant is part of a chain of restaurants called "WifeSaver," which appears to have multiple locations throughout Georgia and North Carolina. However, it is unclear which specific location the sign was allegedly posted in. 

This version of the image was posted to r/Facepalm with the owner's email address and the restaurant's name redacted. Reddit's admins have not removed this version of the image, and it is currently sitting at 10k upvotes.

Comments have been selected from these two threads and generally express outrage and disgust at the work environment that this sign telegraphs. 

"This is a huge red flag not to work for them." commented u/Chocococolatte. While u/wdjm expressed their thoughts with the statement, "What a toxic work environment."

Nurse Asks Entitled Wife's Family To Leave While She Changes Husband's Catheter, Wife Thinks Nurse Is Wrong


Every day people are given a set of priorities to choose from. And every day people choose the wrong ones. Here we have a recently bedridden guy, and a nurse simply doing her job by advocating for his health and privacy. Meanwhile the wife is up in arms about who gets to see the poor dude when, and is trying to force everything to work around her own schedule.

Maybe she doesn't like that there's another authority in her home? It's a really strange shuffling of priorities that certainly isn't helping the whole situation. Let the record show that if your husband needs a tube to pee, and your biggest concern is that you think his nurse is being bossy, you just might be a huge piece of garbage. The internet did its thing.

For another impressively bad choice of priorities, here's the military wife who cancelled a sale because she thinks she shouldn't fraternize with wives from other branches.

Husband Insists His Mother is Present For the Birth of Child, Wife Doesn't Want Her There


This husband told his wife that he wanted his mother to be present for the birth of their child. When their first child was born her mother was present as support for her daughter. Now the husband thinks that since she "got to choose" who was present last time he should get to choose this time. His wife told him he was crazy and now he's upset, who is in the wrong here?

This thread was posted on Reddit's r/AITA subreddit by the wife,  u/GoldSun777, who is appealing to the readers to see who is being unreasonable in this couple's spat. 

Overwhelmingly, as they often are when it comes to birth and pregnancy, the commenters of the subreddit are completely on the wife's side, pointing out that her comfort during the birth is paramount as she will be the one pushing a living being out of her body.

"When did squeezing a whole other person out of your vagina become a spectator sport?" commented SimplySam4210, adding some commentary to the apparent rise of husband's wanting everyone they know present when their wife gives birth.

"As a married man with 3 kids: NTA. The woman giving birth gets to decide who is in their delivery room, full stop," stated ITSlave4Decades.

 


 

Karen Freaks Out At Priest In Liquor Store, Gets Arrested


Priests are allowed to drink alcohol. Say it with us: priests are allowed to drink alcohol. This wild story about a priest who decided to pick up a few bottles of wine and a nice whiskey from a local liquor store comes to us via Redditor u/justme23222, who posted to r/IDontWorkHereLady after a woman grew belligerent when initially mistaking him for a liquor store employee. At first, the woman in question merely mistook this priest for someone who worked at the store, but when he explained to her that he was a priest, things got wild. 

Apparently, the woman at the liquor store did not like seeing a priest in a liquor store and could not control herself, hurling insults, her purse, and even some of the bottles of wine available at the store at the OP and eventually at the store employee once he returned from the back. Things got bad enough that the employee was hit in the head with a bottle, leading to responding police officers to call for an ambulance. According to the OP, the woman involved in this scenario got off on community service, and nobody ever discovered why she reacted so wildly to encountering a priest at a liquor store.

Redditors Shared Their Smartest Jokes


As long as there are bars and guys walking into them, there will be someone willing to listen to someone tell a joke. Even in a world of smash cut edits, meme pages and terrifically weird tik toks, people still tell each other jokes in real life, and that's pretty cool. There's just something so timelessly compelling about them that we have no doubt analogue joke-telling will be around forever. We'll definitely need them when we're huddled around our small cookfires, using worthless life-president Jaden Smith 1 million dollar bills as fuel, boiling toilet water so we can face another day scuttling from the radiation bandits.

And while we are very dumb joke-oriented, that doesn't mean we're immune to the humor of "Descartes walks into a bar" jokes. They're just harder to come by than observations on whether or not yo momma can, in fact, sit around the house. So here are some people's favorites.

For some highly literal memes, here are funny moments and jokes that are technically not wrong.

Internet Irate, Mother Written-Up At Work For Attending Son's Emergency Surgery


This mother was written up for attending her son's emergency surgery, and the company she works for has drawn the ire of the internet. It all came to a head when her son notified her on a Friday that he was going in for surgery on his ACL the following Wednesday and would need someone to care for him. His mother wanted and needed to be that person. 

She works as a dental hygienist and attempted to give the workplace notification of her need to take time off the following week. Her work refused to let her take leave and so she opted to take the time unpaid. That should have been the end of it, but when she returned to work she was given this disciplinary note.

The thread and image of the note was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by the son, who is outraged on his mother's behalf. 

Commenters are outraged as well and have been blasting the dentists office where she works and telling her to quit her job.

Military Wife Demands Salute According to Husband's Rank, Grunts Do As Commanded


This military wife commanded her husband's soldiers to salute her and the stickers on her vehicle, which led to a little tom-foolery from the soldiers who maliciously complied with their orders (as grunts are wont to do.)

As commenters have pointed out, what is it with the "Military Wife as an entire personality" stereotype? I suppose it's not an entirely unique phenomenon… people will build a personality around the darnedest things. Let's name a few, shall we?

Crossfit, Sports, Veganism, Career, Partner's Career, Fetishes, Fandom, Substances, Music, Gaming, Gym-Going (Do you even lift, bro?), Hobbies

There are undoubtedly some double-ups there, and you could distill them into specific categories or expound as much as you want to… but I'm not going to sit here and argue semantics. The point is that people build their personalities off of some weird doodads. I'm not specifically  trying to put Military Wives on blast here, so please don't flame this post ladies. The thing is, everyone does it during their adult life.

I'm not preaching from a pulpit here; I do it too. If you had known me from the ages of 16-21, you would have known me exclusively for the sport that I participated in. Hell, even now, I've just traded it in for a different sport and whatever "flavor of the month" hyperfixation I currently have.

We're all just a bunch of meatbags with electricity running through us, and we tend to get our circuits wired in particular ways. The tribalist part of us wants to identify with and as something to distinguish and differentiate ourselves from billions of other meatbag-batteries out there. Plus, there's a certain comfort to claiming a little slice of society as your "own."   

Tangent over. Scroll on for the full story. This one is certified gold and my intro hasn't done it justice.
