'Fried eggs with strawberry jam': 25+ Weird food combinations from across the globe

Chili on a cinnamon roll? Syrup and peanut butter on waffles? Which of those two combos would you rather try? It turns out almost everyone has some kind of wacky food combination that they absolutely swear by, but everyone else thinks is stomach-churning. 

Redditors sounded off the comments of this r/AskReddit post when u/wildwoodflower_ asked, "What's a food combo you love that people think you're weird for?" The combinations ranged from lightly weird to "I cannot believe you'd ever think to pair those two ingredients." 

Naturally, some food pairings might make you squeamish, but might just be an every day meal to people in other countries or cultures. One great example was putting plain yogurt on rice. It seems like an odd combo at first, but that's the base of lots of food dishes already! 

Check out these folks' favorite weird food combos, then read about these movers who had to deal with a Karen — but at least they'd read the fine print in their contract. 

'I'm afraid that's no longer my problem, ma'am': Movers maliciously comply with rich Karen's impossible delivery demands

At this moving company, the boss isn't going to let his employees get taken advantage of. Most rules are there because of previous situations that necessitated them, as this boss proved to his employee. 

User u/_korvan_ shared a story from their youth, some 30 years ago, when they took a job as a mover at age 16. While there, they had to deal with their fair share of entitled people. The OP shared that they and their boss showed up to one house that had a double door at the front of the house — perfect for the two of them to carry in a sofa bed. But no, not at this Karen's house!

This rich woman's workers insisted that there was no way the OP could use those large double doors. Why? Just because Karen said so. Instead, they were directed toward a spiral staircase. Insanity! The OP shared the delicious malicious compliance that followed… always read your contracts, people. 

Then, read this story of this nurse who just wanted to park their car, but kept getting targeted by their local HOA. 

'I did this for the last 2 years and no one said a word': Company Fires a Warehouse Employee Without Warning for Taking Too Many Smoke Breaks, Claiming He Was a "Time Thief" and Owed Them $290 in Labor Losses

Work can get boring sometimes, especially when the bulk of your job is to sit around and wait for things to happen. For one man, a warehouse quality control guy (u/Gasp32), his daily life was ruled by grueling 12 hour shifts, boring Excel sheets, and killing time while on the clock. Claiming he could do a full 12 hour shift in 4 hours time, Gasp struggled to make himself seem busy while he was clocked in and on the job and paid the ultimate price for following the habits of his other coworkers. 

Gasp's team was made up of a lot of smokers who seemed to have an infinite amount of smoke breaks that they were allowed during the day. Gasp obviously thought that it was simply an unspoken rule that smokers could always take a break if they wanted a smoke (and their work was done), so he started taking more smoking breaks throughout the day. After two years of taking his liberties with his smoking breaks, the hammer of justice came down on Gasp… Hard. 

He was fired for "time theft" because of his excessive smoke breaks. 

Gasp of course was shocked that the HR team and loss prevention had been monitoring his breaks without saying a word. He would have been happy to recoup the loss and pay the company back for the lost time, but they wouldn't have it. It seemed as though the company was attempting to get rid of him for other reasons. Since the evidence against his excessive smoking breaks was indisputable, that was the route the company took to get rid of Gasp as an employee. 

What's worse is that Gasp never had any negative performance reviews, never received a warning for his actions, and most importantly, was simply doing what everyone else did when their job was complete. Sometimes companies just use lame excuses to get their agendas accomplished, no matter who gets smoked in the end. 

'I sent a Cease and Desist letter to the HOA': Nurse seeks advice after car is repeatedly targeted

Parking permits: the bane of many people's existence, especially this unfortunate nurse. 

After moving to a new place, this person received two parking passes, one for a covered car, one for an uncovered vehicle. "However, the rules do not state which permit is for which parking," the OP wrote, and that's where the strange cirucumstances began with the person's HOA. While strolling the neighborhood, the OP saw a mix of cars marked with green or red passes — but also a lot of cars that were unmarked altogether. 

That must've been so confusing as a new person to the neighborhood, and the OP can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone. Because the OP claims their car is being targeted by the HOA. It was nearly taken twice! The OP feels that they're being unfairly targeted when the parking situation is so scattered in the neighborhood. The OP also took to the comments to answer questions, as well as respond to the legal advice people gave. 

Next up, this teen went to a restaurant with their friends, only to realize they were the butt of a weirdly elaborate prank. 

'We need drinks!'... 'And I need tips': Bartender Gets $500 Tip After Epically Calling Out Entitled Celebrity Who Tries to Tip with an Autographed $5 Bill

Tipping culture in America is essential to keeping the service industry afloat. With most servers clocking in at minimum wage, tips are pretty much the main way that they earn their living. Not only that, but servers, especially bartenders, have to put up with a lot of entitled customers who thrive on being doted on and babied by their waitstaff and if you've ever worked in the service industry, you probably know, that guests who are rich and famous are usually also the worst. 

One witty bartender, a Redditor named u/Sssnappy, got stuck serving the private table of an entitled celebrity one night and epically pwned the guy after he was acting like a complete jerk. Apparently he was the lead singer of a band that was in town playing a show, but our Snappy bartender had no clue who he was, which definitely offended the celeb. He proceeded to badger her for more and more drinks, refusing to tip and acting like a buffoon. Finally she started to ignore his table, hoping that he would get the hint that she wasn't going to bend over backwards for him just because he's famous. Eventually he hollered at her, "We need drinks!" to which she replied, "And I need tips!". The hot shot celebrity got snippy and asked if she knew who he was, puffing his chest up in the way that snarky celebs tend to do when their ego is bruised. He threw a balled up $5 on her cocktail tray and said, "NOW can we have drinks?"

After looking closely at the pathetic tip, she realized the bill was autographed. Greaaaaat. However, her coworkers were in disbelief, fan-girling over the autograph and offering to buy it off of her. Snappy sold the autographed bill to one of her coworkers for $50 then went to thank the celebrity in her section for the $50 tip. 

Confused, the celeb said, "I gave you a 50?" and she smiled snarkily and said, "Nope, that's what the other bartender paid me for your 5!"

The celebrity immediately quirked a grin and nodded his head. "I like you", he said. By the end of the night, Snappy earned a $500 tip on $90-worth of drinks, just because she was the only server in the room with enough gaul to stick it to the man and call out the entitlement of this not-even-that-famous celebrity.
