'I've met a baby named Felonee and that takes the cake': 20+ Cringeworthy Baby Names


Remember when we thought Apple was a bad baby name? That would be Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's Apple, of course. Or remember that episode of 30 Rock when Cerie considers naming her unborn child "Bookcase?" Well, as it turns out, the fine line between parody and reality grows even finer when you learn about what some actual normal parents named their actual babies. 

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AskReddit page, not only makes you lose respect for the parents involved as the initial prompt suggests, but it also makes you fear for the future of these kids once they enter school. For some of these names, it's impossible to imagine bullying not occurring. Keep scrolling below to have a look for yourself!

'He's a major legal liability': Bigoted coworker lashes out at fast food restaurant


It's shocking that this guy hasn't been fired yet! He lashed out at multiple coworkers, including his manager, at this point, spewing a series of hateful remarks that are more than enough grounds for dismissal. You have to wonder why real actions haven't taken place yet.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/EmotionalAirVent, who explained that the only reason why they became a target of their coworker's rage was that their work station was the one he wanted to take over. Mind you, the original poster has been working at "the big M" for much longer than the bigoted coworker and is apparently much better at the job itself. The fact that this person is also bad at his job on top of all the horrible comments he has made in such a short amount of time does not bode well for his future at this drive thru. If the manager doesn't do anything soon, we suggest that the Redditor talk to corporate.

Update! 'There was broken glass everywhere': Can-stealing delinquent nephew gets arrested after trashing uncle's home


What do you do when you've been caught and punished for your delinquent actions? Apologize and learn from the experience, improving your life and outlook? No! Double down on your mistakes — of course!

That was the illogical reasoning that led us to this update in a post that was shared on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. This one escalates and gets pretty wild. I was kind of on the fence about sharing this one because it takes a sharp left turn out of the "fun zone." after the nephew is arrested and taken to juvenile hall… but — in the spirit of the update — here we are. All of this over $200 worth of collected recycling deposit cans…

For those who missed the original thread that we shared last week, you can view it here, as it is not included in this post. The gist of it is this: This uncle arrived home and noticed that his shed had been broken into; the only thing that was missing was hundreds of empty soda cans that he kept in massive bags in the shed. He had been collecting these with the intention of eventually turning them into the recycling plant to collect their bounty. The cans were gone, but the uncle had plenty to go off of to unravel this mystery. The idiots had broken into the shed in clear view of his security cameras and without wearing any disguises. The culprits were easily identifiable because, well, they were his nephews.

This led to a whole exchange between the uncle and his sister, the nephew's parents, which eventually led to the police getting involved.

Now that you're all caught up… Keep reading for this update to last week's thread. For more family drama, check out this brother who thought that his child would be the exception to a child-free wedding; the groom put him in his place.
 

'With all due respect, you've never even worked in a restaurant before:' Hostess claps back at egotistical new manager who has never even worked a day in the service industry before


If you have never worked in the service industry, then there is no way you will understand. Explaining the type of chaos that comes with working in a restaurant does not even come close to conveying how it actually is to experience it. So when you get a new manager who has never been yelled at by a Karen customer or who doesn't even know how annoying it is to be stuck with everyone else's' side work and they're trying to tell you how to do your job… That's gotta be a hell no to me, dog. One hostess had that experience, but was not going to hold back. "Don't come in and act like you already know everything when you're a new comer to not only the job, but [also] the whole industry," she starts to say to the in-experienced new manager in the most respectful way possible. 

'Tired And Broke' : Best Memes Of The Week To Show Your Coworkers


I got 99 problems, but a coworker ain't one of 'em... just kidding; of course they're a problem — making that 100 problems. 

Is anybody else ironically listening to Dolly Parton on the way to work? No, just me? Well, as she so famously sings, 'Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin', barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'…' — just… sigh. And so it is, definitely not by choice. Sometimes you gotta take what life can give you until you work your way up to something better.

 

You will meet a lot of people on the way there, and many of them will work with you. Some are better than others, making your life easier. And some are the absolute worst. They don't exactly motivate you to come to work every morning. But alas, that's life. Sometimes you gotta power through and answer their atrocious emails. In addition, maybe you get lucky and get blessed with a coworker you actually like. Life is full of surprises. Scroll down for the best coworker memes to make your day a little bit better.

'I was told it looks unprofessional': Front desk employee at hotel not allowed to use same bathroom as guests, cue malicious compliance


God forbid the guests realize the employees are human! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/toomuchteatoday, who shared their experience working at a hotel that was recently completely redone with new management and new obscene "rules."

 

Some of these rules include the following ridiculous mandates: that employees cannot use the same bathrooms as the guests and should therefore take the 5-minute walk to the closest employee bathroom and that employees are not allowed to keep a bottle of water with them behind the desk and should also take a long walk to the beak room just to stay hydrated. So what did this Redditor do? Follow the rules, of course. What did that, in turn, create? Long lines of guests waiting to be served and bad reviews online. Malicious compliance at its finest!
