'I will never do that for you': Teacher refuses to help student log into school account, gives him failing grade

Every so often, you come across an authority figure who just wants to see you fail. For many people, that starts in school. For this Redditor, the dynamic wound up manifesting itself in something completely out of their control. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/Dziobic.

 

The original poster was locked out of their school account and was not able to log in to even look at any assignments. After repeatedly trying to explain the predicament to their 'old school' teacher, the teacher refused to help and made an announcement that anyone who is not able to log in for any reason will fail the assignment automatically. This was just an extra level of cruelty because she clearly meant to shame and embarrass the student. As for the technical troubles, we get the sense that this teacher somehow assumed that the student was using technology to get out of doing the work, which is a troubling and cynical assumption to make before listening to all the facts.

'I am NOT AVAILABLE': Manager decides to change student worker's availability during their school holiday without talking to them

Communication is a key part of any business. Being able to have simple conversations with staff and other workgroups is an important part of being a manager. 

Communication can be a tricky thing, the discrepancy between what you intend to say and what other people hear is vast, so it's important to be clear and concise with your message. Communication is so easy to get wrong, but the sure way to fail at it is not to do it at all. The worst thing you can do — as a manager or at any level of an organization — is make an assumption in the place of a simple conversation.

That's what this manager did when they decided to change their worker's availability and schedule them for more shifts without talking to them first. The manager knew that their employee's holiday from school was coming up, but instead of asking them if they were able to work more, they just scheduled them for the shifts.

This went over like a lead balloon, and the ensuing confrontation was then posted by the employee to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, where it sparked discussion around the topic.

'I never want to go swimming in a pool entirely filled with spiders': Internet creates a massive Anti Bucket List with some oddly specific answers

Get in loser, we're going to make an Anti Bucket List! Everyone already knows what a regular bucket list is — a long and wishful list of hopes and dreams for the future. Usually people will include their dream vacation spots, or some fun activities like mountain climbing or jumping out of an airplane.  

But today, some folks felt like compiling an Anti Bucket List. It started with the simple question of naming the myriad 'Things [yo]u never wanna do?' There's a surprising amount of overlap between people's ordinary bucket list things and the anti. For example, some of the respondents actually don't want to go skydiving or have kids.

But then there are also plenty of great answers about the more miserable parts of life, like sickness or cheating on a partner, that definitely belong on this list. There was a ton of variety in the responses — you're sure to have an "I'm never doing that" moment as you read through. 

Then, cleanse the thoughts of spiders from your mind with this collection of crafty individuals who tried and failed at making artwork, and instead made us laugh. 

'Well she can't have her money back': Guy rents out space for birthday party, has cringeworthy fallout with friend over money

Is friendship refundable? That's the question that comes to mind when reading about this uncomfortable falling out between two friends over money for another friend's birthday party. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Longjumping-March640, who explained that he had rented out a space for their friend's upcoming party and everyone in the group agreed to pay $80-90 each for the venue. He gave everyone 48 hours notice and also explained that once the reservation was booked, it could not be undone.

 

Now, here's where things get sticky. The Redditor's friend Mara, who has a different financial situation, backed out of the party last minute after already paying because she made a mistake and had a different event that night. $80=90 is pretty steep for a birthday party in my opinion, but that didn't seem to be the reason why Mara had to back out. Now, there's a world in which these could two could have worked something out together before things got nasty. Mara badmouthed the Redditor to their other friends, saying that he should cover her cost and reimburse her fully. Big mistake! In another world, they could have found a mutually beneficial solution, but as it turns out, this falling out might have been inevitable.
