New Teacher Demands Student Fix Her Bangs, Reveals Her Missing Eye


It sounds cliché to have teachers in this day and age complaining about students having their hair in their face, but this time around a teacher was met with a terrifically unexpected surprise. It's poetic, how fast someone can back down when they realize they've just got themselves in over their head. This teacher knew instantly that they had messed up, and probably spent the rest of the day in the staff lounge demanding to know from other teachers why no one had told him about "the kid with the bangs."

Despite the scolding, it seems to us like this kid was only doing what they were told, and it's on the teacher for starting something they didn't know they couldn't finish. Everyone loves a good reveal. Except this teacher, maybe.

Here's the entitled guy who tried bullying a woman out of a disabled parking spot so she showed him the stump.

25 "Not My Job" Moments of Professional Mediocrity


Listen, we can't be asked to do our jobs perfectly every single time. Or, we can be asked to, but it's not like we really have to do it. If you're a brain surgeon or a pilot, please do your job perfectly every time. But if it's your job to paint a two hundred mile stretch of road lines, no one should be the least bit surprised when there are a few spots conspicuously shaped like squirrels. It's just gonna happen.

At the same time, these moments of oversight can pitch into the absurd and take on lives of their own. A wheelchair ramp with stairs at the end is so self-defeating that it's kind of sad. And a sign that says "skool zone" just reconfirms everything we previously thought about the education system. This is life, and people spend most of their time making mistakes.

Here are some more "not my job" moments of failure.

Company Tries to Force Workers to Sign Illegal Confidentiality Agreement Against Discussing Wages


A worker shared this image on a popular Reddit sub that sparked a viral thread and ensuing discussion. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/heybigdog. The post consists of a heavily censored image of a document that was allegedly issued to them by their employer. The thread has received 14.7k upvotes and inspired over two-thousand comments at the time of this writing.

The document appears to be titled as a "Confidentiality Agreement" and goes on to prohibit employees from discussing any "business transactions" including employee salaries and wages. In case you're wondering, and as multiple commenters on this thread would happily tell you, yes, this is highly illegal in the United States. 

This is taken from the National Labor Relations Board page on the subject:

"Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or the Act), employees have the right to communicate with other employees at their workplace about their wages.  Wages are a vital term and condition of employment, and discussions of wages are often preliminary to organizing or other actions for mutual aid or protection."

Coffee Shop Karen Gets Exactly What She Wanted


My fellow retail workers and service persons… Have you ever had a customer screaming in your face (ok, that's a given) telling you to do something, and you have to fight back the urge to laugh? Not only that, but you have to fight every muscle in your body that wants to do precisely what they are asking you to do but in the most malicious way possible. Well, this barista lost that battle with themselves and decided to do precisely what this deranged coffee shop Karen was screaming at them to do.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by the barista, Reddit user u/obiwan_jenobi. Who shared their story of delightfully petty malicious compliance to the popular subreddit.

Now, the story might end with an, "and everyone clapped," but I genuinely have witnessed situations like this in real life where the other customers are so astounded by the screaming person that they intervene or find some other way of putting the insane individual in their place such as clapping at their demise. So my headcanon is going to be that this one is true.
