Petty Mother Schedules Her Kid's First Birthday Party on the Day of Her Stepsister's Wedding, Fails to Get Anyone to Show Up

It's the audacity for me! This lady started unnecessary drama and it completely backfired. She tried and failed to tell her side of the story in a way that seemed reasonable via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. Of course, the ruthless judges of the AITA community were not having it.

 

Let's start with the fact that it's clear the Redditor has a ton of resentment for her stepsister. Some of this is understandable, but one person in the comments section pointed out based on previous Reddit threads that the stepsister's mom died in childbirth, so the original poster's mother stepped up to the plate in a major way. The Redditor clearly never got over this. As for the birthday/wedding fiasco, there is no question that the original poster scheduled this on purpose and refused to budge just to create more drama for the sake of it. Thankfully, no one seems to be entertaining her ridiculous scheming. Keep scrolling below to see the full post!

It doesn't matter if it's Tinder or Hinge or The League (is anyone still on The League?).

These apps bring out the worst in people. So much so that these folks have taken to Twitter to vent about it, and it's not like that's a place where people are always their best selves either.

'Thank God My Son Dodged a Bullet With You': Entitled Karen sends nasty message to son's ex-girlfriend

The audacity of this woman! It's one thing to be thankful your child is no longer in a relationship with someone. It's another to relay that message to your kid's ex a FULL decade later.

 

This Facebook message was included in this thread on Reddit's r/entitledparents subreddit by u/PoopfaceMcPooperson, and let's just say that we feel for this person. Especially when she revealed details about how her ex-boyfriend got the two of them in a literal car accident. She also reveals several other dramatic details in the comments section, so keep scrolling to have a look for yourself! Our big takeaway is that when it comes to Karen Mommies, there is no world in which they realistically come to terms with the possibility that it was their child that may have been in the wrong the whole time. On top of that,  there is no world in which they choose to step back and not weigh in. We feel for the Redditor!

'Interview is at 10 [...] manager comes in at 10:10': Job-Seeker shows up to interview 5 minutes early, told they're not being interviewed because they were late, reports interviewer to manager

There are so many ways you can mess up a job interview — but who could ever anticipate being accused of being late by the late interviewer?

'He seriously is only seen at breaks and lunch': Coworker spends every work day in the bathroom and HR can't do anything about it

This coworker just might be an infuriating genius! According to the Redditor, he got a medical note from his doctor saying he had IBS and now, no one can say anything when he spends virtually the entire workday in the bathroom. Allegedly, the coworker isn't in any actual serious need but would rather mess around on his phone on the toilet for 6 hours than sit at a desk staring at a screen. Honestly, as I write this, I can't blame him.

 

This story was captured via this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/stonerplumber, who went on to describe what happened when a nosy, Dwight Schrute type tried to get the coworker in trouble by timing how long he was in the bathroom and reporting it to HR. Not only was HR not able to do anything about it, but also the nosy employee got written up. Somewhere in that bathroom, our clever coworker is laughing maniacally.

'Do you know who I am?': Base commander demands immediate medical assistance for nonemergency, medic maliciously complies

It's often the case that the most effective soliton for an unreasonable demand involves following that demand to the letter. If you refuse to comply, you're likely just going to cause yourself even more annoyance and trouble, but if you maliciously comply, you have the added benefit of leaving the command-giver to either discover their error on their own or crash and burn in a blaze of glory. Either result will have the desired effect: Getting them off your ass.

This is how it was for Reddit user, u/Kinkar66, who was drafted as a medic to their country's military and found themselves working in a base hospital. When the base commander came in for an appointment and began throwing their weight around, u/Kinkar66 saw the perfect chance to execute the order in the most malicious way possible — landing their spineless-bootlicking boss in hot water in the same fell swoop.

'My boss met with me and cried': Boss breaks down when employee gets new job they were told they were unqualified for

Too many employers don't truly value their worker's contributions — or outwardly appear to in order to devalue their going rate.

This strategy manifests itself as a weird employment form of "negging" (if you don't know what this is, consider yourself lucky) in which the employer/manager will attempt to reduce the employee's self-worth to keep them underfoot — and thus underpaid. It's a fine strategy, albeit with some moral and ethical quandaries, but backfires as soon as the employee builds up the courage to look elsewhere and discovers how undervalued they truly are. 

These employers will waste time and resources training new hires just to have this process repeat itself over and over again — never learning the lesson or saving themselves (and their workers) from this Sisyphean fate. 

That's what happened when this employee was repeatedly told they were unqualified for work they wanted to take on — but their departure would leave their employer in tears.

Funniest Memes for People Who Hate Their Job and Would Totally Consider Quiet Quitting, but Really Need That Paycheck

Just like Blink-182 said all those years ago: "Work sucks, I know". We all get the Monday blues sometimes and start looking at our careers a little more critically. You might even start asking yourself the important questions like, how many months can I make it on my bills if I suddenly had no income? You might notice you're getting better at budgeting math as you contemplate just quitting your job on the spot. The whole ordeal is starting to look pretty terrible though when you realizepixlr you only have about 1.5 months of savings until you're out of cash. Shoot. 

 

So you clock in, go to work, and endure each gruesome hour of your 8 hour day, reminiscing of the good times you'll have when you get home or the vacation time you have coming up. Anything but this God-awful desk job. Maybe today's the day, maybe you just leave and never come back. You can tell your boss to shove their Excell Sheets where the sun don't shine.
