Woman Sets Rude Neighbor Straight, Tells Her That Her Husband Isn't the Catch She Thinks He Is


The absolute savagery of this woman knows no bounds. If this had been me this would have been what I would have wanted to say but would have never had the gall to. Even then I wouldn't have thought of it until later when I was in the shower or playing over the interaction in my head in the middle of the night. 

The thing is, this probably wasn't the most mature route to take... Like we're definitely not looking at the high road here. But at the same time... can you blame her for blasting back? She may not be making any friends or doing herself any favors but sometimes you just need to set someone like this straight. Or so I'm told, because I'd never actually be able to do this. 

Redditor Tells the Epic Tale of the Game 'Creatures' and the Troll Who Trained the AI to Only Feel Pain


Buckle up because this one is a ride and a half... but it is an absolute heck of a story. Hats off to SplugyA for putting this masterpiece of a story together about the exploits of 'Creatures' players.

SplurgyA spells it out in great detail but essentially 'Creatures' was a game that let you hatch and raise races of creatures that were essentially Artificial Intelligence that could undergo Pavlovian learning. A few dastardly players figured out that, just like Sims players did, you could mistreat your creatures to mould them into pitiful and horrible beings.  

Read on into this masterpiece.

Embarrassing Mistakes People Made In Their First Job Interviews


The job interview process can push people to the brink of madness itself. It could be the natural manifestation of all those nerves making themselves known, but fails will oftentimes present themselves. Even with all the preparation in the world, one of the parts about being human is being prone toward spontaneous fits of failure where your brain gets all jumbled up, and your senses seem to leave you for a while. Hopefully, this AskReddit thread where people describe their unforgettable failures during the job interview process, makes you feel a bit better about any times you ended up wiping out during the job interview process. 

Entitled Goofball Calls Cops On Emergency Pipe Repairman, Gets Arrested


Living in a society means sometimes having to make concessions for the people who live around you. For instance, if someone is doing emergency pipe repairs at 11 pm, you don't have a good enough reason to go outside, turn off their equipment, and threaten them with a piece of wood. This guy had a hard time understanding that concept, so he had the concept understood for him. For a satisfying work story, here's the janitor who dressed up, got confused for his manager and got his job.

Manager Refuses To Pay Out Employee's Vacation Days, Employee Serves Up Malicious Compliance


The devil really is in the details. This manager was clearly one of those profoundly tiresome human beings who refuses to be reasonable. The good news for the employee in this situation is that their manager failed to read up on the very contract that they used as a fallback, when trying to skip out on paying their employee for their unused vacation days. Suffice to say, it's a sweet fairytale ending. If you want to keep the malicious compliance going, check out this story about a customer service rep who cancelled a rude customer's television service while he watched.

"Not My Job" Moments of Professional Entropy


It might be your job to paint lines on a road. But nowhere in your job description does it say you need to move any cars, forklifts, rocks or extension cords. Sure, some of those responsibilities might be assumed, but the cunning worker knows that doing anything other than the loosest interpretation of their exact job description is the way to get things done without unnecessary perspiration. These "not my job" moments of professional apathy are a thing of beauty.

Dude Takes Well Deserved Petty Revenge On Friend With Butter


This fine tale of petty revenge reads just how you might expect a playful revenge to go down between friends. Honestly though, some people will really go for that pint of butter when they load up on the popcorn at the movie theatre. If this wholesome petty revenge tale got you going, check out another revenge story with this nuclear revenge tale about a man unleashing a nuclear revenge on his cheating ex.

Exhaustingly Relatable Memes and Jokes About Work


The constant grind of employment is a double-edged sword. On one hand, we wish we had enough free time to go on a meaningful trip, learn woodworking and take a pottery class. On the other hand, being able to sleep in a warm bed and eat regular meals is pretty nice. As we all slowly become people who relate to those mugs about not being talked to before having our coffee, and hang up posters of cats in predicaments, we must ask ourselves, "is this a meaningful life?" And out of the darkness we hear an answer that says "your 2004 Civic's check engine light is on." Here are some more work memes.

The Smallest Amounts Of Power People Got Drunk On


They say power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But give one person autonomy over a coffee maker or a copier and watch as they reign over their microscopic empire with indomitable will and fist of iron. Seriously, give the wrong person authority over something as small as a broom closet and they'll manage to turn it into a broom kingdom. For a power play, here's an unreasonable boss who threatened a deli guy's job, to which he said "okay."

Entitled Choosy Beggar Can't Be Reasoned With Over Original Asking Price


The world's not going to run out of wildly entitled choosy beggars anytime soon. This emotional rollercoaster revolves around a choosy beggar who seemingly can't locate their common sense. Honestly, good on the seller for reworking that original asking price after having to repeatedly tell the choosy beggar that the price was set in stone at $175. Check out some more shameless cheapskates that were their own worst enemies over here.

Employee's Coworker Gets Mad That They Won't Work While On Vacation


Unfortunately, the reality is that far too many of us have found ourselves dealing with infuriatingly entitled coworkers that somehow, some way expect the most unrealistic things out of you. Like, for instance, working while you're on your hard-earned vacation. Yes, that's the particular predicament that this employee found themselves in. You might be able to imagine who the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with. 

Boss Punishes Waitress For Being Ill, She Walks Out On Job, Coworkers Get Upset


The fact that the villainous boss in this fresh tale from Reddit's AITA community had the nerve to punish their waitress for being dangerously ill, is pretty mind blowing stuff. I mean, this waitress literally had to be airlifted to the ICU. We're not talking about a stuffy nose. She was in a dire, life-threatening state. You might be able to imagine who the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with. 

Husband Sells Wife's Antique Tea Set To Buy Gaming Chair, Wife Sells Husband's Xbox


It sounds like this couple's having all kinds of communication issues. The fact that this guy basically wrote a check that he knew he wouldn't be able to cash is really the start of all the problems. While his heart might've been in the right place, he definitely crossed the line. His wife went ahead and then escalated things by selling his precious Xbox. Hopefully these two are able to work everything out. 

Internet Company Refuses To Cancel Service, Rural Customer Proves Them Wrong


Dealing with an internet service provider is on of the most universally disliked experiences there is. Literally the best outcome is that you get sort-of reliable service for a price that's slightly more expensive than you expected. And cancelling service is almost always a nightmare. It's deliberately inconvenient, can be unnecessarily expensive, and is always a pain in the ass. For some more stupid bureaucracy, here's the time a company said they weren't getting documents until they received hundreds of copies.

Job Interview Red Flags To Not Overlook


Sure, a job interview is about selling yourself to a potential employer. But it's also about making sure that that employer can facilitate a functional workplace. Too many times have people overlooked the warnings and ended up working for a total psycho. But don't despair, because there's always another opportunity right around the corner. Here are reasons people quit their jobs on the first day.

Japanese Mascots Getting Stuck In Things


It's no secret that Japan has a whole lot of mascots. It's not uncommon for cities, companies, or governmental facilities to have a dude in a big-headed plush animal suit to really drive home the fact things like municipal water and infrastructure are adorable. But naturally, when your head is the same size as your torso and you need to get on a bus, certain problems arise. For some more predicaments, here are some dogs who are stuck and don't know why.

Dreadful Cursed Images To Inspire Discomfort


As stupid as is sounds to say: we're used to seeing normal things. So when we see an everyday item used in an estranged sort of way, it can cause a visceral feeling of discomfort. It also helps when images are distorted, blurry, and full of beans. So if you're tired of being comfortable, undisgusted and satisfied by adequate context, take a stroll past somecursed and creepy images to feel weird about.

Guy Exposes Son's Step Dad When Step Dad Steals Son's Present


This one is pretty ruthless on the part of the step dad. How in the WORLD did he think that he wouldn't be caught and exposed for this? I mean the fact that he had the gall to sign for the package as someone who could easily prove that they were not present at the time... In front of a camera... and then he thought that he'd be able to wear the watch and no one would notice? It just sounds so incredulous.


If this really did happen and isn't just some fantasy then the Step Dad is nothing less than dangerous to have around.

Woman Puts Disabled Daughter's Name On Deed of House and Enrages Her Boyfriend


It feels like maybe the boyfriend has overreacted here a bit. I mean, her daughter is her flesh and blood and probably should be the one inheriting the family home. It doesn't matter how close her and her partner are. The commenters are on point here and this woman should be concerned about how her boyfriend will treat her daughter and her estate should she pass away and he get any kind of control over it.

It's probably time to make some assessments here because this reaction is totally out of line. 

Strange Science Facts To Ponder


Learning new stuff can be a fun process. When it comes to fun facts in particular, you never know when you might want to bust these out if you find yourself in a conversation that needs some newfound life to it. Just picturing this wild planet with a ton of sharks cruising around, without any trees to be seen, is a tad bit unnerving. 

Neighbor Tries to Make Woman Pay Vet Bills After Their Dog Eats Food on Her Property


I mean, this one is an obvious open and shut case isn't it? If you can't control your pet and keep it off of someone else's property (where it then proceeds to destroy something of theirs) then there's not much more you can say. If said pet then needs to go to the vet for something it ate (on their property) there's no reasonable reason why you should then ask the owner of the property to pay for it.

It's not like she intentionally left poison out for the dog to eat or anything sadistic like that. So why should she have to pay a dime?

Tumblr Thread: Security Guard Hilariously Explains Why Heist Movies Don't Make Sense


See the thing that heist movies fail to comprehend about security systems is that security teams aren't robots. Security teams are like any workplace, full of moronic inconsistency and barely followed protocols. This Tumblr users explains that a crack heist team might as well roll the dice on where a guard is supposed to be at any given time, or whether they'll even respond to any active alarms. For more from Tumblr, here are some random Tumblr gems.

Wife Shuts Down Husband's Arrogant Friend, Reminds Him She Makes More Than He Does


Money isn't everything, but a little bit of money and some common sense can be. This 'friend' clearly doesn't have either. He gets totally shut down when this woman reminds him that she makes more than he does. This guy sounds like a real piece of work and maybe isn't the kind of person that you want to keep around, he doesn't even sound like he would be much fun at parties. With friends like these who needs enemies? 


Good on her for standing up for herself, if they're lucky he might not come back around. 

Man Unleashes Tactical Nuclear Revenge On Cheating Ex


Love can drive people to madness, but when that same love seems to run its course and the breakups ensue... there's no telling what someone will do to rid themselves of the otherwise all consuming heartbreak. It sounds like this guy was really put through the ringer by his ex. The way that he ultimately chose to take his pro revenge was nothing short of a stroke of pure and evil genius. 

Mother-In-Law Racks Up Insane Dinner Bill, Gets Cut Off Financially


Dealing with in-laws can be a challenge, but when your mother-in-law goes out of her way to rack up a 500 dollar dinner bill on your own parents dime, things become a little tense. When she tried the same thing again, OP decided it was time for a financial intervention. The internet judged. For some weird in-law shenanigans, here's the woman who introduced her mother-in-law to her dad and ended up technically being married to her step-brother.

Twitter Thread: Dude Tells The Tale of The Abandoned Plane At An Indian Airport


Ever see something abandoned or out of place and wondered how that thing got there? It just so happens that there's a story behind an abandoned plane at an airport in Nagpur, India. It sounds like every mechanically inclined dad's dream to fix up a Boeing 720 and take it on adventures, and that's just what Chris Croy's dad did. Or tried to. And what a wild Kenneth Copeland tie-in.

Customer Service Rep Cancels Rude Customers Television Service While He Watches


This clever customer service representative did exactly what his customer asked when he canceled his television service when asked to. The thing is... that's not really what the customer wanted. He wanted the customer service rep to give him a discount in order to keep him as a customer! It must be satisfying to get to take a bit of revenge back on horrible customers by doing exactly what they wanted just like this. Another classic example of malicious compliance in customer service!

Monetization Goes Hilariously Wrong When 'The Sims' Tries To Monetize Dusting


Video Game companies will literally try to monetize anything these days... To be fair there are a lot of games out there that essentially make gameplay out of what is essentially chores. Yes, I'm looking at you Animal Crossing, the game that literally has you pick weeds and pay off a mortgage. But they at least usually do a decent job of making the gameplay rewarding, threatening, or otherwise distanced from reality. Usually these will be essential features of the game too, not something shoehorned in via DLC. 

'The Sims' set their fanbase alight when they decided that virtually dusting your virtual home is something that a player should pay for the privilege to do.

Bad "Boss-Zilla" Dad Gets A Wake Up Call When His Daughter Singles Him Out


Isn't it crazy the effect that working from home has had on some of us? For YEARS this guy probably got away with being utterly abusive to his employees. While locking that tragic part of his personality away from his life at home and, by the sounds of things, isolating them from its effects. 

Now, working from home, his daughter gets exposed to this side of his personality and its energy. I'd say this is a good lesson for all of us in how we live and compartmentalise our lives.

Who is the real you? 

Patient Orchestrates Revenge On Hospital Bureaucracy After Waiting Outside in 104 Degree Heat


This guy staged his own 'French Revolution' when he was forced to wait outside in insane temperatures during a bureaucratic tirade. This clerk sounds like they were on a bit of a power trip, but if we put our customer services shoes on for a minute here... it's also possible that they were just jammed between the rock of management and the hard place of expectant customers and were just trying to do their jobs. Who knows how many times they might have been told not to let ANYONE sit in the waiting areas.
