'Lost [my] job, but gained 40k+ followers': DoorDash fires delivery guy for calling out woman using him to scam for free food, angry TikTokers cancel the app


Sometimes people try to get away with everything and anything they can without thinking of the repercussions it might have on someone else. It makes us shake our dam heads so hard. Be a little empathetic, maybe? Did you ever think that maybe the world doesn't revolved around you? It's even more frustrating when these kinds of people repeatedly get away with pulling this kind of BS. It truly brings down humanity ten times. 

Recently, a man working as a delivery guy for DoorDash called out a woman like stated above. He delivered her food and then after he left, he found that she reported the food as never arriving and he got a contract violation. These are taken very seriously and his contract with DoorDash was suspended and he was afraid he would lose his job completely. He knew he delivered that food, he handed it to her directly, so he decided to go back and confront her. She was working at a hospital, after all, so there were tons of camera that could prove he delivered the food. 

So he did just that and recorded the situation to get solid proof of her admitting that she received the food. Immediately she looked guilty. He simply came to her to see if there was an issue, and she immediately got defense. She kept saying she had no idea what he was talking about and that she refuses to help him because she was "innocent" (even though you can clearly see on her face that she was guilty).

Eventually, he just walks off and after the video cuts off, he admits in a later post, that he told her he will come back the following day if the violation isn't removed. Luckily, the next morning he saw that the violation was removed. And as an added bonus, he saw that the video he posted of the situation got millions and millions of views and he had hundreds of thousands of new followers. 

Unfortunately, however, it appears that she then later reported him for creating an "unsafe environment" and DoorDash completely fired him—they did not try to get his side of the story or anything. So, of course, his new and old TikTok followers were furious because they saw the real story in his posts. They keep taking DoorDash in the comment sections, sharing more of their own DoorDash horror stories, and are even calling for a boycott of the food service app.

'We've decided we can't meet your expectations': Unreasonable haggler who demands a $3,000 discount hassles car dealers


"Tom was a royal PITA from the start," lamented a fed-up car dealer, sharing the story of a nightmare customer

Car dealers have a reputation for being shady characters who want to sell you the finest car with lots of upgrades you don't need. They can sweet-talk you into buying warranties you don't need or features that will add four more digits onto your new ride. But this person is telling a story from the car dealer's point of view, and their struggles trying to make a deal with a customer who just would not cooperate at any stage of the process. 

The OP, u/ImbambiB****, told their tale to r/pettyrevenge. It seems that "Tom," the customer, was hoping to buy a specific type of vehicle that was very popular at the time. The OP writes that their dealership actually had a great deal going on, and knew the car would go fast. That didn't seem to matter at all to this crabby customer, who insisted on plopping down in the OP's office and refusing to make a deal. At least this dealer got some sweet revenge on the customer!

'I felt embarrassed afterwards knowing I might get fired': Employee texts their entire company in a group chat


This deli worked wondered, "AITA for speaking up about a bad employer?" and they didn't exactly get the answer they were looking for. U/jackjack_d3mon wrote to the subreddit in order to gain some other opinions on something they'd just done, and pretty quickly regretted. 

As the OP wrote, they had some serious concerns about their workplace, a deli where they work closing shifts. Some of their concerns are that one employee disregards what management says in order to "be a leader." The OP also mentions that there are health and safety concerns that bother them: some employees are slicing meat using the wrong machine, or bringing in food items and beverages that they weren't supposed to.

However, this employee doesn't seem too experienced in the ways of workplace politics. They chose to air all their grievances to every employee at once! In the group chat, they wrote a message and hit send, only to regret it immediately. 

Then, this guy has been plagued by his neighbors and their children, and is completely unsure how to deal with their doorbell-ringing antics

‘No takesies backsies’: College roommate installs a stripper pole in the living room, refuses to move it for normal furniture


Dealing with a roommate can sometimes be the most difficult part of navigating college life. On top of that, you're constantly battling internal struggles like taking the right classes for your major, eating enough dinner before hitting the bars, and the tried and true favorite– grappling with the daily pressures of putting a stripper pole in your living room. 

Like all college kids, when you're young and dumb and finally able to make autonomous home decor decisions for yourself, the stripper pole installation is almost always on the top of your list. For some reason, the s3xually charged, rebellious nature of the pole is what draws people in, but it's seldom considered as a flamboyant burden to the rest of the house. One college girl living with her two best friends found out the hard way exactly how inconvenient a vertical pole in your living space really is. 

u/lavenderloverr, a third year in college, had just moved in with her closest friends. They had a house with a living room and were excited to remodel it to their liking. Before having any furniture in place, Lavender asked her roomies if she could install a stripper pole in the middle as a new exercise/hobby piece and they heartily agreed. Like any 20 year old would, they agreed before really understanding the consequences

After a short couple of weeks, the girls started wishing they had a real living room with actual furniture– ie: a couch, a TV, and maybe a coffee table– like real adults. Lavender wasn't about to let their initial support of her stripper pole go to waste, so when they asked her to move it to another corner, she refused. When OP stood her ground and threatened the others, her roommates called her bluff and went straight to the landlord, ratting her out for installing a pole in the room and now the girls friendship is on the rocks. 

There are definitely going to be some passive aggressive Post-it notes left on the fridge this semester…

'Anyone can do it, but...': Job candidate boldly calls out CEO's unrealistic expectations for role


Interviewing for a new job can be tough, especially when the employer has unreasonable expectations about the job they're hiring for. Common examples of this will be wildly unmatched desired levels of experience versus compensation on offer or an advertised position that has just too many duties for one person to reasonably attend to. 

This usually means that the job is a non-starter and not worth pursuing. The employer is constantly going to be disappointed by the tasks that aren't being completed, and you're either going to be overworked or incredibly disappointed with your compensation. 

This candidate decided, instead, to say it how it was, calling the CEO out for the unrealistic expectations of the role they were applying for. This started the text conversation (shared below) between the candidate (blue) and CEO (grey), with the CEO not taking well to being questioned.

Keep reading to view the exchange; the post starts with screenshots of the exchange, followed by some context about the situation from the candidate. Next, check out this young worker who shared her nightmare interview experience with the CEO of a company.
