Best Memes For Jaded Millennials This Week

Being a millennial comes with a ton of baggage; We've endured a ton yet seem to be blamed for most of it. We can barely ask for anything without being labeled entitled or coddled or at the very least met with passive-aggressive eye-rolling from the closest boomer nearby. And according to a recent survey at Deloitte, millennials and GenZ adults "feel burned out…while pushing for more purposeful - and flexible - work."

 

The least we can do is laugh about our collective burnout. These posts and tweets were initially shared on Instagram by @millennial_misery and @corporate_millennial_memes. If you need a laugh, enjoy a trip down memory lane with some late 90s/early 2000s nostalgia along with good old-fashioned, always much-needed commiseration.

 

We've seen lots of anecdotes about corporate millennials, the difficulties of adulting, and millennial nostalgia. Recently, this woman in middle management expressed her struggles with becoming the jaded manager she always hated.

20 People Who Were Normally Calm But Were Provoked Into Totally 'Losing It'

Everyone has a breaking point. Even the calmest and most level-headed people will reach that moment when enough is enough, and they just can't take it anymore. These stories are examples of those moments that people witnessed, as shared on this trending r/askreddit thread. 

There are a lot of responses about otherwise even-tempered teachers and mentors in this thread that snapped. Just a trend I noticed that shows how much torture we collectively put these people through.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/askreddit subreddit by Reddit user u/Specktakles88, who posed the question "Have you ever seen a normally calm person completely lose their sh*t? What happened?" to the popular sub.

Redditors responded in force with a whole load of brilliant stories and responses to this question, and these are some of the best ones. 

"Quit the job on the spot," shared user 'the man with none' in one of the briefer responses. "He went out of the office showing the finger to everyone and telling us to go f ourselves. Nice dude! I miss him!"

It was an absolute pleasure reading through these, even just to put this together, so grab a cup of coffee (or beverage of choice) and get ready for a solid read.

Misogynistic Stranger Tells Woman to "Smile More" Immediately Regrets It, Others Share Their Stories

A woman was told by a stranger on the street to smile more, and with quick-thinking reflexes, she uttered a response that most of us would only think of in the shower hours later. Unfortunately, this is a scenario that women often face from misogynists who believe that a woman should always have a smile on her face to brighten up their own days with their beauty. I'm not sure if that's precisely the reason, I'm not a psychologist, but I'm sure it's some logically twisted reason like that. 

It really goes without saying, but none of us should be making comments to random people on the street unless it's offering something of value to their existence. It's one of those "stay in your lane" type of principles that we preach so regularly here, and it's an important part of being a positive member of society instead of a massive a-hole. 

It's perfectly ok to compliment someone on something nice they've done or on something they're wearing… But even that needs to be done in a way that isn't going to make them feel like you're some kind of predator -read the room and the situation every time.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by Reddit user u/Revolutionary_Ant209
who shared their story to the popular revenge subreddit. 

Commenters discussed the toxic behavior of emotional gatekeeping and telling someone to smile. Others shared stories and experiences of their own.

"I've always hated the 'You can't be upset about something because it could be worse' mentality," offered user blankslate1498 in conjecture. "Would you ever tell someone 'You can't be happy because it could be better?' Like, I understand trying to put things into perspective, I really do, there are a lot of first-world problems that don't even begin to compare to the horrors some people are living through; however, people are allowed to feel what they feel regardless of what others are feeling. Also, minding your own business is free, and more people should take advantage of that."

"Yeah it's a weird kind of emotional gatekeeping," responded the original poster. "Somebody will always have it worse. You could be an armless, legless orphan who survived a warzone only to be given a terminal diagnosis and somebody will STILL have it worse. It's not a competition."

The original poster was very active in the comments section, and she also offered these relevant thoughts.

"My other favourite is they tell you you're so pretty you don't need make up, so you don't put it on and they're like oh my gosh are you sick are you okay you look so pale... I give up."

"I've had that before. I've had 'Cheer up, it can't be that bad.' 'Smile' and 'You'd be so much prettier if you smiled'"

All of these are comments that most -if not all, women have had to endure. So let's just all pause for a moment and reflect on the expectations we might be placing on strangers.

Customer Service Memes for People Who Have Seen Firsthand the Highest Levels of Ignorance in This World

All jobs basically suck in their own way, and boy is it in our nature to complain about them as much as possible. Even people who are low-key love their jobs and arguably love to complain about them even more. Focusing on the negative is just a part of being human, being optimistic and thankful is just plain dull. Perhaps some career paths are a little easier to handle though. We think it's fair to say that one of the most difficult kinds of jobs must be anything in the customer service field. Because it's not enough to simply do your job and do it well, you need to be nice and smack on a fake smile while you're at it. You're basically an underpaid actor who also probably has to take out the trash from time to time. And don't get us started on the people who you are confronted with. We'll just let the memes do the talking.

Update: Friend Burns $8000 of Pokemon Cards as a Prank

This YouTuber friend destroyed an $8000 Pokemon card collection as a "prank" for his channel, now, the owner of the collection is wondering what on earth he should do. Readers have urged the poster to notify the police and file charges for damages, but that still won't return or replace the treasured collection.

This thread was posted to r/TIFU (Today I F-ed Up) by Reddit user u/Ok-Watch8193, who shared a thread with the title "TIFU By letting my friend who likes to prank people in my house. Which resulted in him burning 8000$ of Pokémon cards." Their post to this classic Reddit sub has sparked outrage at the YouTuber friend, and commenters have been quick to assure the user that they are not at fault in this and should get the police involved. 

"Yeah, he sounds like a complete dickwad." said user solstice gilder. "Go to the police; he destroyed your property. It's him who needs to grow up, and he needs to face reality. He shouldn't get away with it. This is not a prank; he stole your stuff and destroyed it."

"If he smashed your $8000 car, you'd go to the cops." suggested user existential prices. "If you're not that kind of person, become that kind of person because that's what you need to be real. This moment will define how you let people treat you for years to come."

'As of today everyone is being terminated:' New Orleans bar tries to 'clean house,' employees get a hold of the IG account and wreak havoc, causing mass boycott

Banks Street Bar was the bustling and beloved dive bar and venue located in New Orleans, LA. Locals would go to the bar to enjoy the delicious drinks, food, events like karaoke and bands, and just over all have a good time. Many regulars went simply for the amazing and fun atmosphere the bartenders and employees created within the establishment. 

 

Unfortunately, all heII hit the fan recently when the bar switch to new management. Allegedly, this new manager has had a history of poor management skills throughout New Orleans and he didn't waste any time to show off that reputation. 

 

"Wow. Talk about unprofessional. Why would anyone want to continue working for someone who behaves this way? There are ways to 'clean house' that aren't this cruel and unprofessional."

25 Top Terrible Haircuts From People Who Probably Regret Everything

Sometimes we get a "wild hair" and go to our barber or hairdresser with a radical new idea for a haircut. After copious research, you present the haircut you have in mind to the hair cutter, who then needs to translate a grainy two-dimensional image on your phone into a masterpiece that still looks good in three dimensions. It's no surprise that sometimes this goes terribly awry. Hey, we've all had terrible haircuts, but at least it (usually) grows back. As my dad always used to say… The only difference between a good and a bad haircut is about two weeks. Well, in most situations, at least.

We have a story that is legendary in my family about bad haircuts. When I was in middle school we were at the local barber, and I was waiting to get my haircut; the head barber, who owned the barber shop, was giving another kid (a few years older than me) a clipper cut with a long comb. In the middle of a determined stroke with the clippers across the kid's head, the comb popped off and cut a long and wide strip of hair off the back of the kid's head. The kid took it really well and when he started laughing everyone else present did too. The barber, who felt terrible, ended up shaving a kid completely bald that day. Pretty sure it would have taken more than two weeks to grow back in that case.

Antiwork Memes for the Tired and Overworked

Most of us are tired and overworked these days. Jobs can be all-consuming and work can feel endless. Today feels like one of those days when the second the clock hits 5pm, we should all run out of the office like Forrest Gump and never look back. No end-of-day meetings or tasks or questions. No "can you do this one final thing for me?" or "do you mind taking a quick look at this?" No. Quick. Looks. Just "run, Forrest, run!"

 

For those of you who could use a commiserative laugh or two in the middle of a stressful work day, we've got you covered. As the say, laughter is the best medicine (well, besides, you know, medicine). These images were shared on Imgur by user WolfWoodPress. We've seen other scenarios like these. Such as this story when a job applicant walked out of the interview upon learning the job was wildly different from its description online.

Update: Boss Reads Employees Private Fan-Faction Erotica Out Loud to Entire Team as "Prank", Wonders if He's Wrong

This fast food manager read his subordinate's erotic fan-fiction to the team as a prank and has taken to Reddit's r/AITA community to see if he was wrong.  The two had developed a close relationship that probably crossed a few lines of professional relationships, especially when you factor in the subject matter of the fan-fiction and the manager's reaction to it. It sounds like the subordinate has developed a strong crush on her older, married, boss, and, despite being married, he has allowed and even encouraged these emotions.

This thread was posted by Reddit user u/throwawayfanficwork to the popular r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit. This account is a throwaway for the manager, who posted their story to get the readers' opinions and see if he was in the wrong for his actions. 

Commenters were unanimous in their condemnation of the manager's actions.

"YTA," voted user SabrinaSpellman1. "That wasn't a prank, you intentionally embarrassed her in front of people. A prank is something silly when you both laugh together, this was mean-spirited, and it humiliated her. You should apologize."

"YTA holy crap," remarked user Logical-Wasabi7402. "She shoves a cupcake in your face, and you basically revenge porn her through her fantasy fanfic? You need to prepare a lawyer."

"Hear me out, I know this sounds bad but YTA." said user penguin squeak. 

In an update that was posted a few days ago (starting on item #12) the manager describes what has happened since the initial post. "Sophie" has returned to work and the two have reconciled their issues. Regardless, commenters were sure to let the manager know that they should not be managing people.

Employee Stands His Ground With Manager After Getting in Trouble for Being Three Minutes Late

If you're three minutes late once, your manager can take a chill pill. This school support staff member refused to allow his manager to bully him after he showed up to work only slightly late for the first time. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by user u/ohmydayzz, who shared his story about how he learned the hard way to refuse to give up any more free time without pay.

 

Here are the details. This staff member typically shows up to work 15 minutes early and always gets started immediately, per his manager's orders. When he showed up three minutes late and continued with his morning routine of making a coffee in the staff room before beginning his work, his manager berated him. To make matters worse, the manager got upset after the staff member took his full unpaid 45-minute lunch break the next day. This was the breaking point for u/ohmydayzz, who stood his ground and from that point on, never allowed his manager to bully him into starting work early or working during his required unpaid breaks.

 

We've seen similar stories about horrible bosses and bad managers. Like this one where co-workers took action after a worker was abruptly fired for being late for the first time.

All-Too-Accurate Memes That Confirm We Are Already Living in a Dystopian Future

When you watch a post-apocalyptic movie like Mad Max or Hunger Games, it's getting easier nowadays to imagine how these disheveled fantasy societies came to be so messed up. The more that the modern age goes hurling towards the abyss of unknown futures, the more clear it becomes that desert wastelands with scantily clad, grunge-gothic cross-dressers might not be so far off. 

 

So maybe the world is heading towards a decent into Mad Max territory with gas prices skyrocketing, impossibly high cost of living, and historically low wages… oh and don't forget the discovery of plastic in everyone's blood stream. Living on a giant, rolling diesel island in the middle of the Mohave doesn't sound too crazy does it? 

 

Time to shave your head. 

 

Whether or not you're an experienced cage fighter, nobody is really ready for whatever comes next, however, we are certainly prepared to make fun of current plights and woes, softening the blow of potential hell-scape futures with what we do best-- Memes. 

 

 

A Loot-Sack of Lord of the Rings Memes For Your Consideration

There are a few unfortunate characters in Tolkien's stories of Middle Earth who just had a terrible time. The most notable and exceptional of these characters is the cursed Túrin Turambar from "The Children of Húrin," which is a personal favorite of mine from the novels created from the Christopher Tolkien edited manuscripts. 

I thought that this absolutely heartbreaking tragedy of a tale would make an excellent opening for a "funny lotr memes list" and I'll take any chance to talk about Tolkien legendarium, so you're welcome in advance. 

(Spoilers for "The Children of Húrin" ahead, so fair warning to stop reading here if it's on your must-reads list.)

Túrin is Tolkien's analog for Sophocles's classic tragedy "Oedipus Rex," and he lived in the First Age of Middle Earth. The two share multiple similarities, including unwittingly-incestuous relationships with estranged family members. Oedipus classically weds his mother Yocasta after murdering his father, the king. Túrin, meanwhile, unknowingly discovered his nude amnesiac sister, Niënor, on the grave of his murdered elven love in an elaborate plot laid by Glaurung, the first dragon of middle earth. 

Despite the entirely non-romantic of the estranged sibling's reunion the two fell in love and wed. When Túrin defeats Gaurung in the story's climax, Gaurung removes the amnesia curse he placed on the now-pregnant Niënor, who remembers that her husband is actually her brother and commits suicide. 

This poor bastard's life makes Golumn's possession by the ring and subsequent cave-dwelling days look like a stay at a holiday resort in comparison. 

There are other similarities between the two that I'll save for another time. That's enough delightful excitement and mood-setting for now. Fantastic book.

Bride Fires Maid of Honor for Being a Buzzkill

Planning a wedding can bring out the absolute worst in people. That's pretty much impossible to avoid, and that seems to be what happened to u/Final_Cream6177, who shared her story about her fractured relationship with her Maid of Honor on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole thread. 

 

Here's the scoop. u/Final_cream6177 enlisted her best friend Kathy, a professional wedding planner, to be her MOH. Kathy had planned countless weddings before, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. That is, until a couple of weeks before the bachelorette when Kathy began to personally opt out of some of the plans she made for the bridal party. When the bride confronted her about it, Kathy expressed discomfort about drinking alcohol and the stripper portion of the weekend. The bride felt "heartbroken" and tried to discuss it with Kathy to see if she would change her mind, but no dice. Kathy made her decision, which prompted the bride to abruptly dismiss Kathy from her Maid of Honor duties and the bridal party entirely. When u/Final_cream6177 shared what happened with the other members of her party (and later, on Reddit), the responses she got were less than comforting.

 

We've seen other wedding stories like this. Such as this one when a vegan bride cancelled her wedding after discovering her husband went behind her back and cancelled all vegan meals for the reception.

Update: Kitchen Drama, Conflict and Owner Abuse Leads to Resignation of FOH Lead and Chef

This chef shared the conflict in their restaurant that led to the resignation of the FOH lead and then the chef themselves. They shared their own resignation in a second "update" thread where they discussed that the conflict between them and the FOH lead, who had quit in the previous post, had put them in the owner's crosshairs. After a tense discussion between the two, the chef quit too.

This thread was posted in two parts to the r/KitchenConfidential subreddit by Reddit user u/PhoonTFDB, who shared their experiences in this kitchen. Often kitchen staff will take to this small subreddit to share these types of stories, hence the name "kitchen confidential." 

It doesn't really sound like there is a victim in this thread; everyone kinda sounds like a bunch of a-holes duking it out to see who can be the biggest a-hole. But, from what I've heard, some kitchens are just like this, with everyone constantly battling it out to see who can be the top dog. 

No matter who is in the wrong here this is clear: This is a toxic workplace. Regardless of who is purveying or causing this culture, that remains a fact.

Commenters had this to say about the thread

"'Don't talk back to me or I'll violate labor laws at you.' Is one of the most hilarious self-owns I've heard in a while." remarked user Saxong about the boss's challenge to the chef.

"Yeah sounds like everyone including you [is] an a-hole here," said user AuWolf19. To which the original poster commented and agreed.

College Student Encouraged By Reddit To Ghost His Bad Manager

Reddit can be an excellent source for anonymous venting, yet this story proves that it can also be used to make productive life decisions, like ghosting your job when your manager treats you like you're less than human. 

This thread was posted by Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by user u/American_Psycho34, a full-time college student who requested time off from their gig as a hotel bartender over a month in advance of their first week of classes that semester. When that week finally came around, the student's request was completely ignored by his manager.

According to the Redditor, this manager from Hell claimed that because the student was scheduled for work that week, it was on the student to sort out his shift schedule. The manager refused to discuss the matter further and said he would see the student that Monday. 

That's when u/American_Psycho34 turned to Reddit for some advice, and after going through the feedback, he decided to ghost his manager without any notice. Considering that his boss was unwilling to empathize with the Redditor's need to balance work and school, the student owed nothing to his manager in return.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, approximately 40% of full-time undergraduate students were employed in 2020. If nearly half of college students are working jobs on the side, managers need to be willing to empathize with their employees and their school commitments. 

We've seen other stories like this in recent months. Such as this manager who wouldn't approve an employee's overtime.

Funniest Memes About Dating App Fails We Saw This Week

Does anybody else have the experience of swiping on a dating app, and suddenly forgetting that this is not a game? We grew up playing silly single-player games on our phones, and now suddenly these are real people not just pictures or characters. There's no coin prize, and the goal is to get off of the app. Something about that just seems so confusing. But maybe that's not a universal experience, maybe  The majority of people have all adjusted and then some of us just don't belong on the apps.
It seems almost silly that people still have such aversion to the apps when it clearly works for so many couples, but there are still definitely a bunch of peculiar characters to be found basically every time you enter them, so if you have the patience it'll definitely be worth your while, but also if you just want to laugh it's probably also definitely worth your while.
So whatever you're going on the apps is, we're sure you will be entertained by these memes.

Insane Karen Leaves Scathing 1-Star Review After Being Kicked Out of a Bar For Giving Her Underaged Daughter Alcohol

This Karen left a scathing 1-star review after being kicked out of a bar for giving her underaged daughter a sip of her alcoholic beverage. Now, she is getting roasted in the Reddit subreddit r/F#ckyoukaren; you can probably guess how these readers feel about entitled Karen behavior.

The thread was posted to the smaller sub by Reddit user, u/TheDuck00, who shared screenshots of the review to the popular subreddit with the title "What do you mean my underaged daughter can't have alcohol?" in a mocking impression of what the entitled Karen must have been thinking as she wrote the review.

We've all seen these types of entitled people out and about in the world who think that the rules just don't apply to them. These people believe that it's ok to jump the line in a queue or drive down the shoulder of the highway to dodge traffic. We'd all be better off if these people would just up and disappear.

The reality of this situation is that, as commenters have pointed out, the bartender would lose their job if they allowed this behavior and "served alcohol" to a minor. Stings conducted by alcohol and liquor boards and licensing departments are a real threat in many jurisdictions; losing a liquor license means losing your business. 

Readers had the following to say in the comments.

"The weirdest part of it is that they actually informed the bartender that the daughter was under 21 by asking about the rules," remarked user Hamblerger. "If they hadn't done that, then there's at least a possibility that this would have been ignored. As the bartender knew that she was underage, though, and had informed them that she couldn't drink, he had an absolute obligation to do what he did."

"For all he knew, they worked for the State licensing department, and his employer was going to get closed down, and he'd likely get fired," replied user Ok_Cauliflower_3007.

BFF's Trash-Talk Texting Mishap Results in Cancelled Bachelorette Party

When this bride-to-be accidentally sent a trash-talking text to her supposed best friend, her friend decided to exact revenge by canceling the party she had paid for. She phoned the hotel where she had booked the room and canceled it. All she had to do now was wait…

When the weekend of the bachelorette party arrived, the bride was in for a rude awakening; The party arrived to check in to their room to find that it was nonexistent.

This thread was posted on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by Reddit user u/dancing_elephant0903, the friend scorned by her bad-mouthing bestie. She shared her story to the popular revenge with the title "BFF sent the wrong text and ruined her bachelorette party."

Readers condemned the bride's behavior in the comments and discussed the reasons people act like this in the comments. Worth noting that the original poster was very active in the comments of this thread and offered multiple responses that provided more context surrounding the story.

"It's always mind-boggling to me that people pretend to be friends with people they don't like," remarked user SahjoBai "Why not just not hang out with someone if you think they're annoying? She was a user and deserved it. I don't even feel bad for her friends…"

"Some people need to degrade others so they can feel better about themselves," said Frolicking-Fox. "Although, someone like this probably just talks about all her friends behind their back."

"I think you nailed it," replied the original poster of the thread to these two users. "I should've known because she would say things to me about her other friends. I was in my 20s and naive. Learned a very valuable lesson."

Guy Avoids Running Into Ex While On Vacation, Only To Be Stuck Together On The Same Flight Home

A 20-year-old man got stuck on the same flight home with his ex-girlfriend after avoiding her while they were both on vacation in Paris. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit by user u/Backup_276367383, who recounted his tale of a vacation gone wrong following a tough breakup. 

 

The Redditor had saved his money to go on a month-plus long vacation in Europe, only to discover a few months prior that he and his ex would overlap in Paris on their respective trips. They made loose plans to grab drinks. You know, the kinds of plans you make when you run into a former co-worker on the street and say "we should get coffee sometime" before never exchanging any follow-up messages.

 

Well, by the time the Redditor arrived in Paris, he was hanging out with friends in a place with minimal service. Of course, when he checked his phone a couple of days later, he was bombarded with missed texts and calls from his ex, asking if he wanted to make plans and grab drinks. Out of fear, the man decided to ignore her messages because he "didn't want to deal with her getting angry and making me feel guilty like she did when we were dating." 

 

Of course, matters were made worse when the two wound up on the same flight home. They shared an uncomfortable moment at the gate, in which the ex-girlfriend expressed that she could have been in serious trouble while he was ghosting her. However, as the Redditor explained, she wasn't in trouble. She just wanted to get drinks, and he clearly wasn't ready for that. Thankfully, they weren't seated next to one another on the plane.

 

We've seen other stories about tumultuous breakups in recent months. For instance, this woman shared her story about getting her ex-boyfriend arrested after he stole $14K.

Viral Thread: Worker Quits on Second Day After Lies From Interview Are Exposed

This restoration apprentice reported that he left their new role on the second day after discovering the employer had lied about the working hours during the interview process. He shared his experience on the popular r/antiwork subreddit, where it got viral views.

The thread was shared by Reddit user u/ButtKylerJr, who titled his post, "I quit on the second day because I was lied to at my interview." He goes on to explain that family time is incredibly important to him, and while he was interviewing for a role as a restoration apprentice, he was promised that "[They] would be working from 7:30 to 4:00 (4:30 at the latest)." This was revealed to be a complete fabrication when, on his first day, he was required to work until past 6:30 pm.

Not only did this make him late home, but it also made his wife late for her job. 

When he returned to work the next day he was criticized in front of the entire team for the way that he left the previous evening, that was the final straw and enough for him to walk away. 

Readers had the following to say in the comments.

"Not fired but berated in public?" remarked mkbloodyen. "Sounds like they are hurting for staff."

"Having worked with a couple of these restoration companies, I have to say, I have never seen a decent one, ever," said JustAbicuspidRoot. "Each time I have had one come into my home, I had to threaten to sue them and then rip them apart on all online review services just to get them to finish the job in a timely manner. In short, these predators will come into your home, block the entire thing off while they bilk your insurance company for months on a job which should take no more than a week."

"You nailed it," replied the original poster. "There were 3 of us on the board up. They finally sent another person after the 1st hour. One was standing around not doing much. The other was moving nice and slow, bilking away. Then there was me. Busting my ass moving as fast as possible trying to get home."

Server Goes Viral for Story of Getting Stiffed a Tip from a Party of 60 People, Commenters Defending the Non-Tippers are Getting Put in Their Place

A word of caution, if you ever worked in the service industry, then this is going to really upset you. If you're trying to not feel like punching through your screen, maybe skip this?… TikToker @user729192738 is a young girl serving at a bar restaurant. The place does not have any sort of auto gratuity for large parties, and she says that's mostly due to the format of the setup—it's more like a bar, with bar games, etc., than a restaurant, so many people have their own checks, etc. So it's difficult to figure out large party's gratuity. Everyone who has worked in the service industry knows that's some serious BS, but let's get into her story. 

 

She came into work one day, a 7-hour shift, and was told she would be serving a party of 60 people. Since it was just her waiting on 60 people, that was the only table she had. They stayed for her entire shift and she was excited to see how much money in tips she made after working so hard. To her utter disbelief and shock, nobody left a tip—not even a couple dollars on the table. Every server knows that feeling of seeing no tip and the wind just gets knocked out of you. You basically just worked for free and some might even have to PAY to work, if they have to pay out the bar. 

 

The TikToker posted her story and it instantly went viral. Most people were shocked that her restaurant didn't do auto gratuity, but most viewers were servers and able to relate to that horrible feeling. However, evil commenters who have obviously never worked in the service industry or are privileged enough to have other job options, decided they needed to add their opinions about tipping and it will make anyone who's worked in the service industry groan. Can you believe there are still people out there saying they won't leave any tip if there was just ONE little slip up. You forgot the side of ketchup? That's it, you don't deserve to make any money off of this 7 hour /$300+ check. It's so messed up! 

 

But don't worry, many of these ignorant commenters taking the side of the non-tippers are getting put into their place by other commenters who most likely have worked in the service industry before and have a lot more experience in the matter. 

Woman Savagely Annihilates Ex's Entire Friend Group After They Mock Her Heartbroken Email

This woman decided on the nuclear option after being brutally mocked by her ex and his ruthless friend group, the fallout of which caused the dissolution of the entire group. This is another reason to add to the (already long) list of why we hate group chats/emails/texts.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/prettyrevenge subreddit by Redditor u/nosugarcoatings who shared her experiences with the popular Reddit community.

Readers responded and seemed to agree that this revenge story would have qualified for Reddit's r/Prorevenge or r/NuclearRevenge communities, which often host revenge stories with more drastic and wide-reaching consequences than the smaller-scale r/prettyrevenge stories.

"Damn, that's hardcore," responded user blueFireK9. "Literally destroyed his entire social life & relationship in a single emailing session. Good on you."

"And made him come begging her to take him back!" added user bluegrassgazer.

"I think this qualifies for an upgrade to Pro or Nuclear Revenge," remarked user SordoCrabs, commenting on the savage nature of the poster's vengeance.

A Bunch o' Daft British Memes For the Lot o' You

Top o' the mornin' to ya!

Is that British or Irish? Sorry, I get confused. 

Just a bunch of smarmy blokes (wanted to use the c-word here but I'd get fired) on a bunch of different islands to me. Best to keep in mind here, you could just as easily say the same thing about where I live too, and those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.

Insults to our various islanded brethren aside…  it has recently become the case that London is one of the top cities for Fail Blog viewership. For whatever reason, you Londoners just can't get enough of this wretched site. What's wrong with you lot?

It might come as just as much of a surprise to the rest of you as it is to us... but cheers to you Londoners. Hope you're having a bloody good week and are enjoying being roasted alive by that incredible heatwave. 

Enjoy this list of memes, funny tweets, and some bloody good British humor. 


 

Annoying Manager Memes for People Who Have Mastered Their Fake Laugh to Survive

There are a lot of different parts of a workplace that are conducive to your experience. People probably work better in places that have windows with nice views, and facilities that are useful to their employees. We bet people are happier when they get along with their coworkers, and have the space to get all of their work done in a timely manner. Perhaps people are also happier when they work somewhere that's flexible hours or is really close to a bus or train stop of the commute is lessened by just that much. Where sure it's a mix of everything, but one thing that can definitely help one's experience is having a well-rounded manager. A good manager can really make her break one's experience in a company, but if your manager is not that great, hopefully, they're at least funny enough to make fun of after work.
Whether you love your manager or you love to talk trash about them, we're sure you will find these memes entertaining.

"We had a guy at a job I used to work at that said making coffee was women's work (factory job where the only women were office or lab personnel)," said Any-Faithlessness351. "Guess who wasn't allowed to drink coffee that was made in the plant kitchen anymore?"

"Where I worked, if people left dirty dishes, the staff was notified, and they were thrown out," said Gizmosia. "I think this is just an idiot manager with an idiot policy."

"At my job, people have a habit of leaving dishes in the dishwasher in the break room, and our front desk lady usually ends up taking care of it," shared ShittyExchangeAdmin. "I noticed a sign was on the dishwasher recently saying it was out of order. I asked if it was really broken or if she was just sick doing everybody else's dishes, and she said "Yeah it's not broken I just put the sign on it". Gave me a pretty good chuckle."
