Owner Tries to Micromanage Employees, Fires Them On The Spot, Rest Of Staff Fires Owner


Nothing can be more nightmarish for a hard working employee than to realize that a new owner of the company you work for has come in like a dark and ominous storm cloud to unleash havoc in an otherwise smoothly functioning, peaceful work environment. It sounds like this new owner was headed fast for nowhere good at all, from the moment that he bought the doctor's office. Fortunately, the employees that were on staff were more than ready to clap right back against all of his nonsense. Oh boy, to only have seen the look on the owner's face when he was forced to confront the righteous consequences of his actions. 

The Greatest Feelings People Have Experienced


Honestly, the some of the best feelings are feelings of relief. Taking your socks off after being on your feet for 16 hours or standing next to a fire after being drenched. Finally quitting a job you hate. Others are about achieving some sense of purpose like doing something nice for people for the love of the game. Sometimes you just get to try the greatest food ever. Everyone has a different idea of "the best feeling."

Unfair Teacher Fails Half Of Class, Student Settles The Score


Navigating the BS of academia gets even harder with absolutely ineffectual tenured professors, and while some of their not caring can often result in an easy A, it's the unexplainable Fs that truly motivate people to do something about it. Here's a student who decided enough was enough. For a professor who got the upper hand, here's a professor who fooled their cheating students.

Happy Customers Thank Employee For Her Increasingly Absurd Services


We know just how hard customer service can be, which is why we're always amazed at an employee's efforts to go the extra mile. Be it delivering a baby, teaching a boy to become a man, handing over her teeth or literally turning back time, one thing is for sure. There are not that many employees who are as good as Sam.

Family Memes About The Joys Of Domestic Life


Most of us are only now ready to reflect on what the hell just happened for give-or-take 18 years of our lives. Some of the answers, or at least catharsis can be found in memes about growing up with siblings or memes about parenting. Everyone's formative years were totally unique but also incredibly similar when it gets down to it.

Biggest Red Flags That Men Ignored About Women


It's dangerously easy to get caught up in a phase where you're jovially ambling onward through life with rose colored glasses on, completely head over heels for someone that you met that seems to be impossibly physically/emotionally/etc attractive. Well, it's essential to keep those wits about oneself, or quite the shady and generally nasty series of circumstances can end up presenting themselves. Hopefully, these men learned their lessons about not ignoring the bright red flags. 

History Memes To Solidify Our Mastery Of Time Itself


Back when we weren't paying attention in school, we didn't realize that knowing things like "math" or "history" or "hygiene" would one day be useful. Good thing we have history memes to cover the arguably least pragmatically important of the three. Who cares about being able to correctly file your taxes or get close to people when you can know about feudal Japan? Thank you, history memes.

Mildly Infuriating Images That Eradicate Inner Peace


Sometimes you can find yourself out wandering through this ever chaotic and disorienting world only to stumble upon an object, a sign, a parking space, that's so glaringly incorrect yet close to being correct that it drives you to the literal brink of insanity. These mildly infuriating images are absolutely not for the faint of heart. Seriously, by the end of this list you might find yourself full on grinding your teeth without ever having realized you started doing it in the first place.

Game Dev Takes Pro Revenge On Rude Lawyer


This is quite the emotional rollercoaster. Nobody likes having to deal with a coworker or human being in general for that matter who insists on being belligerent and rude for no good reason at all. It sounds like this game dev was more than ready to enact nothing short of a masterful revenge. The fact that they threw the lawyer's name in the end credits of that game is truly the cherry on top. For another pro revenge tale check out the time that an employee took a petty revenge on a raging Karen.

Employee Counteracts Rude Customers By Pretending To Get Fired


Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job knows that the gig can unfortunately come with having to deal with nasty waves of belligerent and impossibly entitled customers. The process of having to regularly confront such unnecessarily confrontational people can really begin to wear away at one's spirits. Well, this employee decided to fight back against all of the toxicity from entitled customers and try to show them that their rude actions could have consequences for employees' being able to keep their jobs. It sounds like their friends thought the prank but a tad bit mean-spirited. At the same time though, it is pretty clever. 

Times People Witnessed Future Divorces At The Actual Weddings


I mean, hey, some people just aren't meant to be. Unfortunately, sometimes the very people that are in these doomed committed relationships are still so blinded by the traces of a love that once shone bright, that they can't see the warning signs themselves. And then you end up with weddings that arguably never should've occurred in the first place. Maybe these people's stories about doomed marriages that they witnessed will remind you of your own experience where you attended a wedding that had all the bright red flags waving. To keep the wedding drama rolling, check out this post about a woman who refused to cut her hair for her dad's wedding, and then the drama that ensued.

Dad Catches Foul Ball While Holding Kid


There are only so many things that make you feel like a fully realized adult, and this guy managed to do two of them at the same time. That said, we can't see his feet so maybe he's wearing a pair of limited edition Air Jordans at the same time. That would make it three. Anyway, hats off to this dude's hand-eye-coordination.

Curious Orca Tries To Befriend Stand Up Paddle Boarder


Clearly, the Orca was fascinated by that stand up paddle board. The fact that there happened to be a dude on it is besides the point. For all we know the Orca was investigating to see whether or not the paddle board was some kind of alien life form. For what it's worth, the Orca was very respectful and responsive the moment that the guy exclaimed, "AY!"

Karen Can't Figure Out Car Wash


Just for a maddening moment, picture yourself caught in the frantic flow of a busy day during the workweek when suddenly you find yourself stuck behind a fellow human being who doesn't understand the simple inner-workings of a car wash. To say that this could drive one to the brink of insanity might be fair. Actually yeah, this would flat out suck, man. Hopefully, Karen was able to drive away from the experience with the knowledge necessary to not have that happen again. 

Mom Tries To Impersonate Daughter For Account Info, Debt Collector Calls Mom Out


Debt collectors are professionally trained to efficiently see right through the various lies that people will try to spin to get out of payments, or gain access to sensitive account information.

It's just a shame that this poor debt collector had to deal with all of the mindless nonsense. 

Fiancé Wants To Be Childless Stay-At-Home Wife, Disagreement Ensues


Relationships are all about shared and delegated responsibility, and if both parties agree to it, having one person be completely unemployed is that couple's decision to make. With that said, the prospect of choosing to be a childless stay-at-home spouse brings up the questions of "what would you do all day" and "maybe it wouldn't exactly be fair if I worked while you did... what was it you said you'd do all day?" For a story of marital bliss, here's the wife who proposed an open marriage and then was furious when the husband got a date first.

Maybe some folks will relate. 

Highly Literal Jokes And Moments That Are Absolutely Not Wrong


We can't all be geniuses and we don't want to read books, so sometimes we have to settle for not-wrong moments of technical accuracy. Being clever isn't the same as being smart, but it's definitely something that will get you through a job interview. So hike up those socks and step into highly literal moments of technical accuracy.

Bizarre, Humorous, And Terrific Tumblr Gems


Tumblr is filled to the brim with strange, hilarious, and downright unexplainable observations about a wide array of topics. We were just reliving our joy for that ridiculous Tumblr thread that does a deep dive on the infamous Davy Jones curse and its accompanying loophole. This time around though, we've got a fresh and highly entertaining batch of high quality gems from the mines of the Tumblr world. 

Dumb Drivers Who Deserve Ample Ridicule


For some reason, it's hard for incompetent drivers to realize that it's not a good idea to tie forty Adirondack chairs to the roof of your Corolla with nothing but the help of some bailing twine and their wife sitting in one of the chairs to secure the load. But this is the world we live in, and just about anyone can drive a car, so here we are.

Business Gives Couple Demonically Bad Laser Engraving, Couple Wants Refund, Business Gets Taken To Court


Seriously, that laser engraving was straight up twisted, man. It's no wonder the couple wanted the refund. The fact that the business refused to make good on that refund, and it was over $40 is pretty far out. Fortunately, the court was able to back that couple up, and they ended up getting a glorious $230 refund when it was all said and done. To keep the revenge drama going, check out this revenge story about an employee who took a petty revenge on a raging Karen.

Freaky Events People Experienced That They Can't Explain


They say most Americans believe in angels, but this all might just as easily have been performed by demons, lesser demonic spirits, soul shenanigans, ghost junk, complex scientific phenomena, telepathy, or our personal least favorite, "they're just lying." The thing is, everyone has been in a situation that they can't completely explain, be it contacting a dead relative or having their own life saved by a complex series of coincidences, or just plain old bizarre experiences people don't usually talk about.

Woman Refuses To Cut Hair For Dad's Wedding, Family Drama Ensues


Oh boy, are weddings just endlessly ripe for all kinds of conflicts between family members. There's just something about the event that inspires people to get completely possessed by their unreasonable, inner perfectionist side. The thing about trying to make sure that something ends up being perfect, is that life by its very design is imperfect. There are fails and mishaps lurking around pretty much every corner. It's only a matter of time before one thing or another falls apart. In this case of this wedding drama though, we have a woman who stood her ground when it came to being pressured to cut her hair for her dad's wedding. The moral judges in Reddit's AITA community seem to be in agreement that this woman's adopted stance was totally reasonable. 

Twitter Thread: IT Employees Explain Their Animosity


It's an unfortunate fact of life that the world's hard working and well meaning IT employees are on the frontlines of having to deal with all kinds of toxic nonsense. We've come across far too many tech support nightmares, and we don't suspect that the pattern's going to stop any time soon. This fun and informative little Twitter thread has IT employees describing why they might be viewed as being so upset all of the time.

Streamer Pretends To Play Game Of Halo, Gets Exposed


This is nothing short of cringeworthy comedy gold. This guy had the nerve to put on a whole show like he was actually playing Halo, when in reality he was just streaming a YouTube video of someone else's Halo game. I wonder if he knows that people can see right through his dishonest little game.

With full sincerity we really hope that this dad went and got himself checked out after getting absolutely clocked by his kid's baseball bat.

Guy Safely "Burps" Fish Before Releasing It


Apparently catching a trout or salmon in deep cold water can cause its swim bladder to inflate, and in order for it to reenter the water safely, the air in it needs to get "burped" out. That's like, the actual recommended thing to do. So here's a dude letting the air escape before safely releasing it back into the wild.
