'That's not professional in my eyes': The controversial reason this person walked straight out of an interview


This is apparently an unspoken rule of job interviews, but do you actually follow this rule yourself? On the r/antiwork subreddit, 
u/Cavs1850 shared the one thing that made them get out of an interview so fast that they didn't even start it. 

As this writer shared, they showed up to an interview early, as one should. They were a few minutes early for a 1 PM interview, but by the time 1:05 rolled around, the manager conducting the interview was nowhere to be seen. Five minutes isn't the end of the world, but the manager kept the OP waiting and waiting. So by the time a half hour had passed by, the OP took action. 

The commenters were definitely not unanimous on this post —  some people thought the OP was rude and out of line for ditching the interview before it even started. But as one person pointed out, the company is on their best behavior during interviews, and they may never treat you better than that! So if you start off on the wrong foot and also notice management issues, maybe that says something about the company. These are the waving red flags, take note! 

Next, take a peek into the life of a hotel clerk. One person who works in a national park shared a story of a male Karen who demanded to light campfire under the worst possible circumstances, then got furious, ruining his own hotel visit. 

Top Trending Chat GPT Fails of the Week (February 6, 2023)

'All of your friends told you not to say something': College student asks 'AITA?' for questioning woman's cafeteria habit


One college student took to Reddit to ask if she was in the wrong for a cafeteria eating disagreement, and she probably didn't expect that people would end up calling her a bully! 

College cafeterias are a multipurpose space where you can dine with friends, chug a coffee while typing on your laptop, or  eat alone while scrolling on your phone or doing homework. And of course, at many colleges, this is the main or only dining option — you can't just avoid the cafe. One OP posted to r/AmITheA****** when she called out a woman who was also dining in the cafeteria by herself. While OP eats with her friends, she kept noticing this woman's choice to get food and not finish it. For some reason, the OP felt entitled enough to badger this woman, asking questions about her food "wastefulness." 

Reddit commenters definitely taught this OP a lesson — you can tell how stung she is in the edit — and hopefully she'll keep this in mind next time she's eating in the dining hall. Sometimes, even when it's really tempting to butt in, you just have to mind your business. 

After you scroll through this nosy OP's post, check out these people who spilled what it was like working for a millionaire, and why it's not as glam as you might think. 

Boss Ridicules Employee After They Work Overtime on Their Day Off, They Quit


In this viral post, commenters are shocked about this employer's behavior and support the worker's subsequent decision to leave.

Worker u/issathrowaway2 has posted to the r/antiwork subreddit seeking advice, and a little understanding, from discontented fellow workers. They describe working for a small, family-owned business that wraps cars. They are 24 years old and note that it is their first job in this industry. 

This latest incident has caused them to throw in the towel, but u/issathrowaway2 has been looking to leave this job for at least six months. They only decided to stay on longer once they were, begrudgingly, given a raise. 

Their boss had asked them to come in on their day off and help out as they had some "good customers" who were demanding same-day service on a Saturday. When what was supposed to be a 2-hour job ended up taking 10, they had to cancel the freelance appointment they had booked to make it work. 

When they came in the next day... They learned that the entitled customer had complained over an insignificant detail. After being berated by the boss for this, it was all over.

Best Batch of 20 Random MEIRL Memes that Define Real Life


So these memes are what define our personalities in real life, apparently. At least, according to the subreddit r/MEIRL. Sometimes we just wanna get lost in a whirlpool of nonspecific memes, and this is the perfect place to do that. Scouring the internet at random always results in finding questionable yet entertaining content — it's the magic of the WWW. 

To sum it up for those who haven't yet crossed paths with the subreddit, MEIRL stands for 'me in real life' — the memes posted are an attempt at portraying how we, as individuals, may act in real life. It isn't just any old memes. The simplest things are the hardest to explain. I'll save you and myself the trouble of trying to figure out how to properly stipulate what I'm trying to say here. Yes, I am aware I'm the problem.

You can scroll down and have a look for yourself — on second thought, it's pretty self-explanatory.

"He made me go out and buy him a new pair of underwear because he said his were 'unlucky'": 25+ People share the craziest things their millionaire bosses spent money on


If you've ever worked for someone extra rich, which of their spending habits caused you to raise your eyebrows? People who have done just that gave us their input, and the answers are actually not what I expected. Apparently, lots of wealthy folks are so tight-fisted with their money that they almost live like they have no money. 

One person shared that even though their father is pretty wealthy, he never washes his clothes. Instead, he apparently just wears them a few times, then tosses them in the garbage. He's really maximizing his environmental footprint by throwing away so many clothes! Instead of wearing high end brands, this guy is rocking secondhand clothing. Nothing wrong with that at all, but you really can wear clothes more than once. 

Next up, this woman was so annoyed at her sister for… making a nice dinner and expecting her family to show up to it.

‘I Only Went Out to Lunch!’ : Karen Takes Car From Leasing Company for 2 Hour Test Ride Adding 60 Miles to Odometer, Ignores All Attempts at Means of Communication, Leading to Police Getting Involved


Like all establishments, an automobile company has rules and policies. It seems entirely plausible (generally speaking,) that people would understand a little thing called the 'rule of thumb'. AKA, the unspoken agreement. But unfortunately, not everyone is very bright. There are many possible conclusions one may come to when a car seemingly evaporates into thin air. When you disappear for two hours when taking a car out for a test drive, and ignore all of the staff's attempts at reaching out to you digitally, it's fair to assume that the company will call the cops on you. For all they know, you've done a dine-and-dash, with an actual car. 

As it so turns out, one crazy lady took incredible offense when police got involved after she drove off with a car for a 'test drive', and returned two and a half hours later. This Karen took to Yelp to formally complain. Many crocodile tears were involved (She mentioned the word 'crying' about 15 times). The company replied to her review with a few minor details she had conveniently left out.

Such as the fact that while on this mini road trip, she managed to pack in quite an itinerary. She picked up a friend, who she then went to lunch with, then went off-roading, and finally made her way back to the car company to return said car. Boy was she surprised when a police cruiser was there along with the entire team of employees, awaiting her arrival with baited breath,

'The result isn't pretty': Teenager uses sister's shampoo without permission, discovers there was blue hair dye in it


You know what they say: you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. This 12-year-old teenager used her older sister's shampoo without permission. Little did she know, however, there was blue hair dye in it…

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/pixelkid44, and we should point out that the Redditor actually had no intention of sabotage here. Her hairdresser advised that she put blue hair dye in her shampoo so that her hair can maintain its color. Her younger sister, who is blonde, tends to have a habit of taking the Redditor's things. By the time the blue hair dye drama ensued, the Redditor's parents assumed it was a prank to teach the younger sister a lesson. We're taking the Redditor's word for it when she insists that this wasn't the case and that she simply didn't think she needed to inform everyone that she was putting blue hair dye in her personal shampoo. Regardless, the results are kind of iconic.
