'She said it was the perfect time to announce their engagement': Future bridezilla upstages sister on her birthday


You know that feeling when you realize your sister is going to be a bridezilla?

 

That's exactly what this poor teenager experienced during her sixteenth birthday party when her sister upstaged the entire event by revealing her engagement, claiming it was a good idea because the whole family was already there. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Notbxlls444, who thankfully has at least one good family member in her corner.

 

That would be her Dad who, as the story and comments suggest, really stepped up to the plate and understood that this whole reveal was poorly planned and executed. We wish that a mistake like this wouldn't exactly set the tone for how this wedding process is likely to play out, but unfortunately, it just does. This sister clearly lacks a considerable amount of self-awareness (one thing she doesn't lack, however, is a considerable amount of narcissism). Let's all pour one out for the original poster, who is in for a wild ride. Keep scrolling below for the full story!

'I wasn't allowed to have water': Employee walks out of working interview because of employer's bizarre rules


I bet this employer can't wait for the android revolution that we've been promised. After all, an android wouldn't need to spend two minutes on the bathroom break that results from being properly hydrated.

Software engineer stops helping sexist coworker, lets them show their true colors and screw themselves


It's unfortunate that people with really crappy personalities are often allowed to subsist, even thrive, within our workplaces and communities. We're all guilty of and complicit in this happening; all too often, we silently allow these people to exist amongst us and even help them succeed for fear of "rocking the boat" or "causing a scene." Unfortunately, this only enables them in their secretly destructive ways, and by not dealing with the problems when we see them, we let them go on to do harm and victimize others. To be fair to those who stay silent, once these people manage to seize power within their circle, they're often extremely effective at silencing those who have, or might, speak out against them.

How often has this happened within celebrity circles in the last ten years? There will be someone in a position of power whom everyone knows is terrible. Still, it's only once they've been thrust fully into the light and exposed that those who haven't been personally victimized are willing to do something about it. While these "open secrets" are allowed abuse unchecked, they take victims who should have never even been exposed to them in the first place.

Reddit user u/Many_Bridge4619 suddenly realized they were helping their sexist coworker to succeed in their workplace, and in turn, as the coworker revealed more and more of their true nature, they found a solution to the problem. They stopped helping the coworker and gave them enough rope to hang themselves with, then watched as they floundered and revealed this true nature for all to see.

Keep reading to see the screenshots. Worth noting here that the author gets confused with their names partway through and starts intermixing the names "John" and "Mike" in relation to the sexist coworker and another engineer on their team. Other than that, it's a solid read.

Funniest Memes for People Who Get Imposter Syndrome at Work and Feel Like They Are Truly Just Winging It


Imposter Syndrome is a tricky one—sometimes it has you thinking you're killing it at work simply because you have been able to hold up this ruse that you know what you're doing. Other times it has you crippling in fear because you are sure that everyone knows you suck and they're just saying nice things to you like "wow, great job!" and "that was some great work you did!" because they feel bad for you… But maybe, JUST MAYBE, you actually do know what you are doing? Maybe you are actually good at you job? Did you ever think of that? It's hard to have that thought cross your mind when you're stuck in the clutches of Imposter Syndrome. But hey!
