Funniest Annoying Boss Memes That Are Equally Satisfying and Infuriating

We all like to complain about our work sometimes. It's just an unavoidable thing that will take place because, well, it's work. It can be the sickest job in the world, but there will always be something to complain about. Nothing is fun 100% of the time, especially when you're working for someone else. It's good to have a nice relationship with your boss, but at the end of the day, there will always be secrets that you each keep from each other. He truly knows how much they can pay you, and you know that you can bring your skills elsewhere at the tap of an 'easy apply' button. That just showbiz.

 

Not all bosses are the worst, but some people really do seem to get sick with power quite quickly, and then we all have to deal with their sick little power trip. It may be a drag, but at least we can all relate to these silly memes.

Double Revenge: Worker Complains About Terrible Coworker to Mom, Mom Tells Them to Harden Up, They Orchestrate Them Working Together

When this worker was complaining to their mother about their terrible coworker, they got an incredibly dismissive response. So, when they were moving to a different region, the opportunity presented itself to exact a little revenge on them both. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevege subreddit by Redditor u/LightmoonWolfie, who shared their story to the popular subreddit.

Commenters voiced their appreciation for the revenge and requested that the poster provide future updates.

"Two petty revenges in one go. Nice read.," replied riobhcas. "Hope your new office treats you well!" 

"That's one well-executed plan! Please update with any stories from your mother after she starts working with your colleague," user NagaApi8888 requested.

"I will!" replied the OP, u/LightmoonWolfie. "But we'll have to wait I still work here for another week, then the office closes [in] August, and I will start in the new one [in] September!"

Manager Has a Meltdown and Fires Guy Over His Two Week Notice, Guy Threatens to Have Company Vehicle Towed

When this plumber submitted their two-week notice, the cracks in their employer's sanity began to show. The employer flew into a rage and fired the plumber on the spot, without consideration even for how they would get their equipment back. Well, the plumber still had their work vehicle, a massive Ford F350, sitting in their driveway, and there was no way they were going to drive it back to the depot after the treatment they had received. So, they told their recently ex-employer that they should organize a collection of the vehicle immediately or it would be towed. 

The thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by the disgruntled plumber, Redditor u/Brilliant-Parking359, who put their previous employer on blast. 

Readers enjoyed reading about the poster's experience and their creative solution to the problem at hand. 

"Perfectly handled, all the way down to calling the cops," responded metal_bastard. "As I was reading, I was thinking, I hope homie's old boss doesn't call the cops on him saying he stole the truck. Congrats and giving them a bowl of dicks."

Max_N_Ruby had the following to say.

OP: ."Sounds like a you problem"

Roommate Books Hotel Room Due to Lack of Hot Water, Live-In Landlord Refuses to Pay

This tenant took matters into their own hands, and when their live-in landlord let them know that the hot water would be out for the weekend, they booked a hotel room for themselves without saying a word. After pulling a vanishing act for the entire weekend, they returned and hit the landlord with the bill expecting them to pay it.

The landlord, Redditor u/SheHadaStaycation, posted this topic to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit, wondering if they were wrong for refusing to pay for the tenant's hotel room.

Let's just come out and say it… I went into this thinking that I'd take the tenant's side but find myself leaning further and further towards taking the landlord's. I mean, they didn't even have a chance to have the conversation with the tenant before being hit with a $600 bill for just one weekend. Keep in mind here that the tenant only pays $800 a month. (Where is this room?? I want to move there.)

That said, something about the post has a bit of a stink of a-holery. I can't quite put a finger on it, but perhaps it starts at the name of the throwaway account "She Had a Staycation." The attitude makes me think that maybe everyone sucks here instead. The worst part for both of them is that they have to live with each other.

Commenters had similar sympathies.

"Not having hot water is what's called a habitability violation," responded u/IAmHerdingCatz. "In my state, the landlord would owe the tenant a discount in the form of pro-rated rent. In your case that would come to $26.67 per day the water heater was out of commission, assuming a 30 day month."

"ESH. You need to learn your responsibility as a landlord. She needs to talk to you before expecting reimbursement for a hotel. You both need to learn to communicate."

Another commenter, u/Embarrassed-Sweet905, had this to say.

"ESH.

You don't mind a cold shower. That's fine, but you suck for assuming your tenant feels the same way.

She sucks for being passive-aggressive about the $250.

Both of you need to communicate better and compromise."

Funniest Memes About Work for the People Who Lack Any Work-Life Balance

Working 9-5 is definitely not everyone's style, and now that so many careers have turned hybrid or entirely remote, employees have more flexibility than ever to work when it is most convenient for them. Some people are simply more creative in morning hours vs afternoon hours. Some people need their mid-afternoon cat nap to keep them going. Some people will do just as good of a job while traveling in South East Asia as they would if they sat in their company's office day after day. When you think about how different everyone is it makes sense that a different work ethic would suit so many different lifestyles.

 

One thing remains the same in 99% of careers though, regardless of the wage or hours, there will always be something to complain about. And as humans we love to vent about these things, so allow these memes to get you started. Let's get into them.

Retail Worker Puts Horrible Customer in Their Place, Manager Doubles Down

Every retail worker and customer service person has wished they could do this at least once or twice a week. Unfortunately, we are obligated to keep our mouths shut and smile by the simple fact that we need money for food and rent. Being starving and homeless is a more grim alternative, if only slightly. 

"The customer is always right" mentality that has been practiced for the last twenty-odd years has entered each of us customer service people into a delicate hostage situation -where we are both the hostage and the negotiator whenever we interact with a guest, client, or customer. 

Even the most pleasant interactions must be undertaken delicately and with forcible conviviality. (Case and point being this barista who was fired when a TikTok she posted was reported to her workplace by an angry customer.)

Well, a retail worker, Redditor u/EvoSP1100, got precisely the chance that we've all been waiting for and put a customer right in their place after they encountered the customer in the store shortly after they had left their job. They then took to one of my current favorite Reddit subreddits, r/IDontWorkHereLady, to share their experience in a trending thread.

The most impressive thing in this tale is that their recently-former manager took the poster's side and doubled down on putting this jerk in their place. Keep in mind that the manager is currently still employed by the company, so they were putting their job on the line to stick up for a former employee. What a legend.

Also, as a quick aside, I love the term "Junk Customer" in the title… Whether or not it was a typo of "jerk," I will have to remember that one. 

Anyways, fellow retail and service workers loved this story and were quick to dog pile on their love in the comments.

"JC will be back in a few days," said pkinetics regarding the customer's empty threats. "Hopefully SM will spread your legendary interaction to all the employees to encourage them to stand up and put [these] entitled a-holes in their place."

Under-Appreciated Machinist Walks Off the Job, Takes Vital Blueprints With Him, Leaves Company Nonfunctioning

This machinist was great at his job but quietly understated in his demeanor. This meant that he was seldom in line for a raise as he did not go to bat for himself. When he finally did and received a poor response, he took matters into his own hands... He quietly packed his things and walked out without saying a word. His silence was his fury.

It wasn't until the parts he was responsible for needed replacing that anyone thought to check what had happened to the blueprints. They were nowhere to be found… and while "John" swore that he didn't have them, this coworker thinks they know the truth. They believe that "John" knowingly exacted some parting revenge.

This brilliantly told story was shared to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by Redditor u/Solo1961, and it's one of the best that we've seen in recent months. u/Solo1961 had the privilege of witnessing the disaster unfold and did us the delight of sharing it with the world. 

Commenters delighted in this tale of revenge.

"Beware the quiet man who doesn't argue but who knows his worth. Beware working for the fool who doesn't value such a man," remarked Trin959.

"I heard a similar story of a guy who disassembled a complex progressive die," shared Santasotherbrother. "Spread the parts all over the shop, then left the country the next day."

Twitter Thread: Logan Paul Goes All-In With A Live-Tweet Take On Jordan Peele's "NOPE"

It's been a long, long time since we've talked about Logan Paul. Like many of you, I chose to pretend that he and his brethren don't exist. I ultimately gave up even pretending to harbor an ironic dislike for the guy after the whole "Suicide Forest" incident in Japan at the start of 2018 (end of 2017?) Since that incident, he is and has been, a nothingness to me.

Fast forward to 2021. Well, a lot has happened since that time, and I found myself reflecting this morning upon a tastefully thought-out criticism of Jordan Peele's new film NOPE. The surprising part? The criticism was laid out by Logan Paul. Have I actually fallen into a parallel universe? Is he being a reasonable human being now? Logan doesn't go in hard and fast on the film, picking it apart in the way you might have expected him to. Instead, he lays out a tasteful argument for why the film doesn't work for him, doing so in the sophisticated medium that is a Twitter thread. 

It's surprising to seriously be able to utter the sentence "I agree with Logan Paul." but I think he has a point. Occasionally, critics and the internet unite to bandwagon over a film that just really isn't that good, and I believe this is one of those times. (Another being the first DC Universe Wonder Woman.) But people are entitled to their opinions and allowed to be excited about things that I'm not. So that's ok. 

Have you seen NOPE? What are your thoughts? Do you "agree with Logan Paul"?

Chef Throws Pan at Line Cook, Gets Fired, Kitchen Staff Commiserate

Anyone who has worked in the service industry has a story or two about a hot-tempered chef. Well, Redditor u/Tarcos took to Reddit's r/KitchenConfidential community to share their recent experience where they wound up on the wrong end of a chef's temper (and kitchenware.)

The constant pressure and fast-paced nature of the service industry can result in a lot of room for confrontation between staff. Factor hot-heads and demanding customers into the mix and you can get some explosive situations. u/Tarcos, who works as a line chef, shares that the chef reportedly took issue with the fact that they were moving a little slower than normal (due to some health concerns) and "took a hot saute pan and whipped it at [their] feet."

Commenters panned the chef's behavior and fellow kitchen/service staff shared some of their own experiences and commiserated with the line chef.

"If you have time to lean, you have time to be felony assaulted," remarked ejolson, passing comment on the notorious temper some chefs have.

"This is my favorite comment and has cheered me up incredibly," replied the original poster.

Supermarket Karen Assaults Combat Veteran, Pays the Price

A military combat veteran was minding his own business doing his grocery shopping when a wild supermarket Karen appeared and demanded his assistance. When he refused to assist her, the situation escalated and led to a dramatic confrontation. It's often that we find confused Karens in these bizarre circumstances… Just the other day a story was trending where a Karen even tried to order a pizza from a craft shop. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady by Redditor u/Doug4422, who posted the thread with the title "Karen tangles with a combat veteran, gets more than a handful."

The comments were mixed on this story, with some users voicing their enjoyment of or asking questions about the story while others had more negative responses. 

"30 days?! Why not forever?" Questioned Catacombs3. "Why would they tolerate/encourage people who physically attack their customers? I hope you pressed charges for assault."

Some commenters disliked the poster's narrative, which they accused of being drenched in stereotypical military machismo.  

"I like the story, but holy shit does this ever reek of r/iamverybadass," remarked ifeelnothingaboutyou.

"I wish I had the Navy Seal copypasta," replied RickCrenshaw.

Meme Meister: Top 20 Memes of the Week (That We've Posted to Facebook) (July 25, 2022)

What is a top meme? Who gets to decide that? 

Well, I guess I do… but why is that my choice? Who made that my choice? Someone really just came along and said, "Post some memes to Facebook for us," and here we are. What am I? The Meister of Memes?

Now, I'm here, and I'm telling you that these are the best memes of the week (whether they really are or not.) The reality is that (probably) none of these were actually created this week, and you might not even like them… You might even hate them (which you would be well within your right to do.) A more honest title would be more like "My Favorite Memes of the Week," but then you wouldn't be here, would you?

Hopefully, you do enjoy these carefully selected memes and decide to squirrel them away to your own meme collections. In doing so, you would be contributing to their proliferation across the wider web. Please peruse and enjoy.

Insane Interviewer Insists on Interviewing Over Text, Offended By "Unprofessional Response"

If you're conducting an interview via text messaging and want to complain about something being unprofessional, oh boy, do you have a rude wake-up call ahead of you.

When u/Coconut_Groove posted their details to an online recruitment service, they were contacted by this hiring manager who was looking to recruit for a position. The position was offering to pay $9.95 an hour in Montana, which has a lower than $10 minimum wage.

u/Coconut_Groove knew they weren't going to be interested in the position for that rate but decided to have a look and see what happened anyways.

The interview was to be conducted over text message, which sounds absolutely absurd. Honestly, it's hard to say for certain if I have ever heard of that before. It just comes across as wildly unprofessional especially given the fact that they didn't even give u/Coconut_Groove the heads up that they were going to be commencing an interview first.

Maybe this hiring manager is just ahead of the times after all as one commenter responded:

Joerugger

"My company recently rolled out 'text to interview' for recruiters. It's wildly popular. I never thought it would work."

I can see where, in a legitimate organized interview, this might be helpful for both parties. It's extremely common for interviewers to just hire the most charismatic person who "Interviewed the best." which doesn't necessarily make them a good fit for the role. This way could allow people who don't present or communicate as well verbally to have a better chance of presenting their skills.

But I digress. Wherever the future might be headed... This interviewer needs to snap back to reality. 

Boyfriend Steals $14K Cash, Gets Arrested

This gal was keeping a box full of cash, representing her literal and metaphorical aspirations to attend medical school. She's in her last semester and has worked for 5 ½ years to get to this point. She keeps savings from her various service jobs in this box and cashes the contents once she has reached enough for tuition. Gotta say, it's a questionable decision for storing savings, but that's beside the point. 

She posted her experience to r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole), a Reddit sub where people post stories about disagreements in their own lives to see if they were in the wrong. The original poster (OP), 
u/Personal-Muddy, shared her story to see if she was in the wrong for reporting her boyfriend to the police for the theft of the cash, which ultimately led to his arrest. 

As commenters have pointed out here… He is not being arrested because she reported him to the police; he is being arrested because he stole $14k in cash. His actions have landed him in this situation, and he needs to be prepared to deal with the consequences. 

"DO NOT DROP THE CHARGES," one commenter, Bruiscear, warned. "14k is a HUGE amount of money. 

"His family are lying. They are not going to pay you back. Your BF's first response was to lie: he only admitted the theft afterwards. They will take off and run, and you'll never see him or any of them ever again."

"Why would you drop the charges?? He STOLE from you. He deserves to go to prison. Also, If you do drop the charges, it's possible that any insurance you have will be nullified."

"You might be able to borrow money from somewhere - but they would need to see evidence of your ability to save money - you'll need the police report number as part of this application."

"If his family are banging on about paying the money back, tell them that they can sell one of their cars ASAP and pay you back, as courts usually charge interest on money judgements."

"NTA."

Hungry Karen Orders Pizza From A Craft Store

Need I say more? 

No, this isn't a punchline for a "Bar joke" but rather the crux of a story that was shared to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady subreddit, where such a thing happens regularly… With hordes of confused Karens calling unsuspecting phone number-havers, giving them the what-for and demanding food orders.

The thread was shared to the small subreddit by Redditor u/yupitsanalt, who shared the story of their experience when this confused Karen accidentally called his mother's store to place an order for a pizza. The poster explains that this happened regularly at the family business, as the number for the local Dominos was only one (easily confused) digit from theirs. It's hard enough to deal with a Karen like this when you're actually employed by the business, but it's another thing entirely to try and explain to them that you don't work there. 

Readers voiced their enjoyment of the story and reminisced on the nostalgic qualities of the post. 

"Man, I miss those days of answering machines with removable media like that," said ITrCool. "You could keep old cassette tapes to archive and listen to years later to reminisce, even if just silly petty stuff. I dunno, I'm just nostalgic and guess."

Worker Gets Warning For Using Bathroom, Wants to Sue

This worker got a verbal warning for taking a bathroom break which then led to being served a disciplinary action form for wasting time. They've taken to the popular r/antiwork subreddit with a photo of the post to share their experience and seek advice. The thread was posted with the title "verbal warning for going to the BATHROOM Can I sue?"

While it's easy to take the employee's side here and chalk this up as another out-of-line employer, we've all worked with this guy before. The kinda guy who does their best to shave off as many minutes from their work day as possible by finding every excuse possible to get away from their work area. I love a good bathroom break more than your usual rooster but working with these people can be incredibly infuriating, especially when your performance is being judged as a team.

If you are that guy, I salute your gumption and the creative effort you put into as little work as possible… but for the love of god, just do your damn job, please.

Amidst the usual r/antiwork comment menagerie, a user claiming to be an employment lawyer, u/Older_Wiser_Maybe, responded to answer the titular question. 

"Employment lawyer here: First, Only one of the instances referenced in the disciplinary action has to do with a bathroom break. The other alleged instances, coupled with the 11 minute bathroom break, does not help any case you may have because, together, they give the impression that the bathroom break was just another example of not working/wasting time. That being said, Do you have a physical impairment that requires you to take frequent bathroom breaks? If not, then no, you likely do not have any legal basis for a lawsuit. If so, is your employer aware that you need an accommodation allowing you to use the bathroom more frequently or outside scheduled break times? If not, then no, you likely do not have a legal basis for a lawsuit because you must make the employer aware of the need for the accommodation first. Also, accommodations must be reasonable. Depending on the physical impairment, 11 minutes to go to the bathroom may be considered unreasonably long."

They've essentially let the poster know they probably don't have grounds for pursuing legal action. Although, this doesn't mean that the employer's actions are any less condemnable… potentially.

What's your take? Is this guy just your typical time waster or does he have a leg to stand on?

Dingus Haggles For Discount On Motorcycle That's Less Than the Value of Included Replacement Parts, Has Immediate Regret

Selling used goods on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or any other free equivalent platform is incredibly easy… but dealing with people is incredibly hard.

Just ask Redditor u/kAROBsTUIt, who sold their first motorcycle and, in doing so, faced the infamous "good cop/bad cop" routine presented by a father/son duo. The pair picked apart the "lightly crashed" motorcycle's defects and tried to use that as justification for circumventing an otherwise firm price. In doing so, the father declined to take the spare parts that were to be included with the price of sale. Inexplicably, the replacement parts were worth far more than the discount they negotiated. 

u/kAROBsTUIt posted their righteous revenge story to Reddit's popular r/MaliciousCompliance sub, where it has earned high praise. Other commenters shared experiences and stories of their own.

"Yeah, working in car sales made me hate the haggling," shared imabigdave. "I usually price stuff where I need to be with a very small bit of room to let a buyer feel like they won. When potential buyers point out things you had already been up front about, just say "yes, and that's why I have it priced where I have it priced" Find a surprise to one or both of us? That's different."

Guy Walks Out of Job Interview After Company Lies on Job Description

This job candidate was quick to turn heel and bolt when it became abundantly clear that the interviewer had been intentionally misleading in their description of the role. The role had been advertised as being remote work when it was actually "hybrid," requiring some attendance to an office space. To top it off, the interviewer even admitted that they had advertised it as such in order to increase the pool of applicants.

As I've often described (and recently discussed) job interviews are a performative set piece that outlines the more absurd aspects of our societal norms. (I'm borrowing that phrase because it fits so well with what the interview process entails, right down to script and costuming.) It's hard to imagine that any hiring manager would submit themselves to any more of this theatre than necessary as the entire experience is exhausting and time-consuming from start to finish. 

The topic was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, where it encouraged vigorous discussion surrounding the current interview landscape.

Redditor u/anxncdn perfectly addressed this issue with the interviewer's strategy in the comments.

"I can't understand this mindset," they remarked. "What's the point of getting a larger pool of applicants if none of them want the job anyway? Why waste your time interviewing a ton more people who are just going to walk out or decline the job because it's not what they applied to?"
 

What would you do when faced with this situation? Have you ever walked out of an interview?

Boss Texts Employee After Hours to Accuse Her of Faking a Covid Test, Employee Epically Calls Her Out and Quits Effectively Immediately

The work environment is changing. With millennials and Gen-Z taking it over, nobody is letting the f*ckery go anymore. Employees have taken enough crap and won't stand for it anymore. 

 

TikToker Libbylu aka @libbiiiii quit her job earlier this year. Her boss was toxic and the entire workplace was soul sucking. It didn't even matter if she was good at her job, she was younger and lower in the ranks, so she didn't deserve anybody's respect—especially the respect of her boss. She had already found a new job and couldn't wait for the transition! She was getting ready to give her courtesy two weeks notice, because she was at least a kind employee. However, her boss really yanked that privileged out from her own hands. 

 

Libby got a text well after closing time from her boss. It was, of course, bursting with toxicity. Her boss texted her because she had come in late that day after a Covid scare. She decided to get a text before coming in just to be safe. The boss accused her of lying about it and demanded proof. Even though she was annoyed she still sent over a screen shot of her testing results to her boss. Even with that proof, her boss still did no believe her. She said that she called the testing place and they said they did not provide Covid testing services and she demanded a physical copy of her test results for her to believe her. 

 

Libby had f****ing had, I mean, who wouldn't at this point?? She let her have a piece of her mind. She called out her boss for being toxic and unprofessional. She sent in a lengthy text everything that her boss has been doing that was simply toxic and inappropriate as a manger. At this point, Libby decided she was no longer going to provide any sort of handy two weeks notice for her toxic boss. She quit "effective immediately" right after sending that epic text. The boss apparently responding denying all her employee's accusations, but Libby had already had it and ended the conversation. She had said her peace and was wiping her hands clean of that toxic job.

"No Snack" Rule Technicality Snafu Drives Worker to Quit Pedantic Boss

A worker was ridiculed by their boss for eating half a sandwich at their desk, which supposedly violated the boss's silly "Snacks only, no meals" rule regarding food in the office. This was the snack that broke the camel's back, and the incident drove the worker to quit.

We should get this tattooed at this point but as the old saying goes… "People don't quit jobs, they quit horrible bosses."

The thread was shared to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit yesterday where it went massive and received just shy of 20k upvotes in the first twelve hours it was posted. The thread was posted with the title "I just quit my job of 3 years over a sandwich." 

Commenters voiced their rancorous disdain for the manager's policy and cheered the poster for their decisive reaction to the manager's behavior. Some encouraged further antagonizing of the boss while others passed comments on various aspects of the story. 

"Keep eating sandwiches at your desk during your notice period," DizzyDizzyWiggleBop slyly remarked.

"The only reason managers want you back in the office instead of WFH is to justify their own jobs. If WFH means you are happier, more productive and saving time and money on the commute then clearly the only reason to return to the office is so managers have more control and can shout at you more," dbe14 commented, referring to the growing friction between employers and employees due to requirements that workers to return to office buildings.

"Doesn't want people to eat at their desks and wants them to eat in a break room. Overloads them with work, so they can't take a break. Genius. Good luck with your new job!" Voiced elamb127.

"Treats full grown adults like children for no reason. That's the number one reason to leave. Cool, we have a difference in definitions, I get that. But I am also a grown up and competent human being. Treating me like a child is unacceptable and says a lot about the manager and how they view their staff." added Sptsjunkie in response to elamb127's comment.

Viral Thread: Boss Fires Confused Employee Via Email, Twenty Minutes After Closing With Them

An employee closed with their manager, who said nothing out of the ordinary to them but sent an email 20 minutes later telling them that they were being let go from their position. Further, the email tries to claim implied confidentiality and bans the employee from attending any of the owner's establishments as a customer. The cowardly method used to dismiss the employee has the internet up in arms. 

Screenshots of the email were posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/Leading_Highlight244, the employee who received the post. They posted the thread with the title "This is how my manager fired me, 20 minutes after I left my shift with him."

The original poster (OP) elaborated on their situation in the comments.

"For context, I've worked there for a whole month. I was never sent the Safe Serv course (and, I also had already submitted a different responsible serving certificate and they denied it)," they wrote.

"And my "results" are completely unknown to me because their metrics are ridiculous. They're a dive bar who serves paninis, and if you don't sell a certain number per day then I guess you're fired? Sorry nobody wants to spend $8 on a Turkey sandwich with two slices of processed Turkey on it lmao."

Reader's reactions in the comments generally passed commentary on the various ridiculous parts of the message, with others offering their sympathies or sharing stories of their own.

"Boy that "confidential do not distribute" text worked well," remarked 747ER in the top-voted comment, commenting on the fact that the "confidential" email was now the subject of a viral thread.

"'Confidential do not distribute' (and) 'please refrain from coming to any location in the future' sound like challenges," commented herbalit.

"They banned your ass from all establishments too?? Damn," sympathized LuckyxCapone.

 There are lots of stories floating around these days about people getting fired. Sometimes they take matters into their own hands, like this employee who took all of their things home and left a company nonfunctional. 

 

Bridal Shower Bikini Brings Bristling Tensions to Family Affair

This volatile r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) thread has been a topic of hot discussion and disagreement, with readers ultimately deciding that the original poster (OP), u/Complex-Cup7367, was in the wrong for his reaction to the described events.

The OP describes in his post that he and his longtime girlfriend have recently been engaged and, as part of the wedding proceedings, had arranged a bridal shower. As a good gesture, OP's Father's much-disliked girlfriend "Tiffany" was invited. As a possible slight or trashy oversight, "Tiffany" wore a bikini to the affair, pictured in the thumbnail and images below. The thing is, the bridal shower was a garden party, and all of the other guests were wearing sundresses or similar. So is there really anything wrong with what "Tiffany" wore? The image OP provided proves that the bikini is less bikini and more summer wear than anything else. 

Many voters in the Reddit thread wouldn't have seen the photo before voting. But with this information in hand. What's your vote? Who is in the wrong here? Is "Tiffany" the a-hole for wearing this? Is the fiancé an a-hole for defending her? Or has the bride lost her mind?

Upon seeing the photo, this is what one reader had to say…

"You're kidding," remarked General-Yak-3741, responding to another reader declaring that the OP was in the wrong. "That makes his fiancée the giant ah in my opinion. OP states that the women all wore sun dresses to this "garden party" I don't see the issue here."

Without a doubt, some people have trouble behaving and conforming to proper event attire. Such as Heather here who insisted on wearing a psuedo-wedding dress to her half-sister's engagement party.
