'The kitchen guys are actually chuckling while they put this thing together': Obstinate customer demands whole chicken wings in their calzone, worker complies, gets fired


There are times in life when temptation is just too great and leads us toward doing something that we probably shouldn't be doing… Take, for example, serving a customer a calzone containing entire chicken wings (bones and all) after they obstinately and repeatedly request it as a special order. 

When you've been working in the service industry, retail, or customer service for long enough, you get a growing itch to pull off something like this. With every entitled customer interaction, you can feel it intensifying, and soon you're practically begging for a chance to serve a little malicious compliance of your own. 

It stands to reason that the server should not have been fired for this, after all, they gave the customer exactly what they had requested. Not only that, they double and triple-checked with the customer before being (rudely) told not to ask again.

Subway fashion: 30+ people who matched their surroundings a little too well


If you commute on the New York City subway system enough, eventually, you WILL match one of the many advertisements spread across every train car. You might not even realize it! Or, you might match someone standing next to you to an embarrassing degree. But that's just New York, a big melting pot of people, styles, and fashion. Keep reading below to see these people who might have to change their outfits because someone else is wearing it too.

A Ridiculous Amount Of Funny Memes For The Worn Out Brains In Tech


Shoutout to everybody who's feeling like their brain is a bit fried this week. You're not alone… below you'll find some hilarious memes that grasp the essence of programming and tech in general. Dealing with bugs and errors all day is pretty tiring, and if you have to deal with annoying coworkers' stupid questions, then it's even worse.

 

One of the most annoying things about programming is when you get stuck on an issue, look up said issue, and find somebody asking the exact same question – followed by either (a) no answers at all or worse (b) "never mind, I figured it out". Another frustrating thing is when management just doesn't understand programming but wants to micromanage it anyway. Memes are essential to release the stress and anxiety one accumulates when working in tech. So these will provide a much needed break, as they are the best tool available for procrastination. You can deal with all those annoying bugs later. 

'Absolutely not': Couple discovers their neighbor is running an illegal Airbnb ring, she gets the leasing office involved


How did the leasing office not figure this out on its own? Especially when four adjacent units in the building were rented under the same name and there was a constant flow of guests coming and going. Sounds like an Airbnb ring or something worse.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Tunasaladboatcaptain, and while we normally do not support nosy neighbors stirring up a fuss, these folks were clearly in the right here. What's especially remarkable here is how poorly run this little business scheme was. Hopefully, now the Redditor's girlfriend, who is a night shifter, can count on getting some sleep during the day. One has to wonder if the leasing office people knew more than they were suggesting, but I suppose we'll never know. Keep scrolling below for the full story!

'That is an insane amount for a f-ing blanket': Choosing beggar wants a hand-made blanket but is outrages at the cost


Dealing with people is the worst part of any job. Even those who have somehow escaped a 9 to 5 existence and have managed to make a living or side hustle — doing gig or contract work — still have to deal with this.


 

Chaotic Messy Man Recounts the Horrors of His Bachelor Pad After Realizing the Simple 'Hacks' of His Genius Woman


'I ain't even own a washcloth before you'

'He left without saying a word': Wildly insecure guy ditches fiancé after learning about her past


This dude is just weak! He left his fiancé and fully ghosted her after learning that she was "popular" among the guys once upon a time. It's not like there was any cheating or any truly scandalous event, but that was enough to make this lame guy leave.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Intelligent_Cup4116, who is the fiancé's sister. She recounted the story from a perspective that also reads as insanely problematic. The fact that there is no evidence of any real wrongdoing besides the fiancé's past "popularity" just goes to show how backward our society is. And say it with me, everyone: if the gender roles were reversed, this would not be happening.

'I swear it's unused': 20+ Craigslist ads that tried to peddle ridiculous goods that shouldn't see the light of day


Craigslist is built to be simple — a simple device, for simple people. Alas, it has attained quite an infamous reputation for attracting people who are just a little too simple, if you get what I mean. Their brain is not yet quite fully… how shall I put this? Ah, yes. The screws aren't quite all there. Yes, most of them are over the age of 25, therefore their frontal cortex should supposedly be fully developed, but we can't argue with the facts, which are that it most certainly is not

 

People are either immature, deranged, confused, or just downright unrealistic. These irritating buggers have a bunch of unreasonable requests, show up late (that's actually a step up from the people who don't bother to show up at all), and change their minds without notifying you. Seasons come and seasons go but one sure thing is that each season brings with it new buyers, new sellers, and new idiots to our favorite platform that we love to hate. Because let's face it, sometimes you fall on a good deal. Scroll down to have a look at some of my personal favorites.

'I never tell dad jokes. He never understands them': 20+ Cringey Dad Jokes to prepare yourself for Thanksgiving dinner


This Thanksgiving, one thing is certain: there will be Dad Jokes. The presence of Dad Jokes has become about as commonplace during my family's Thanksgiving gatherings as turkey and stuffing and sweet potatoes. I don't make the rules, but that's just reality at this point. When confronted with Dad Jokes at the dinner table, you have one of two options in terms of how you choose to respond: (1) you can show your embarrassment, cower, and cry like a 5-year-old even though you're in you are a fully grown adult, or (2) you can humor your Dad and say something mildly kind like "that was clever." This Thanksgiving, we suggest you opt for the latter option. Give your father a break and make him feel like the funniest person in the room every once in a while. So, in order to prepare for the upcoming family holiday, we've assembled a list of quality Dad Jokes. For more content like this, check out this list of camping fails.

Set sail for Fails: 30 Boating memes to buoy your spirits


Did you know that today's boats are some of the largest ever to exist? As rich folks compete to have the biggest boat, one of the most massive ones around right now costs $600 million and is almost 600 feet long! The owner may have a stupidly big and luxurious super yacht - but is it named "Marlin Monroe"? No, I didn't think so. 

Below are 30 memes of some boat owners who have creatively named their humble ships…plus some boaters who had a sinking feeling that their watercraft wasn't going to float much longer.

'I spoke with my neighbors and acquired the rights to their leaves': Guy leaves gargantuan mountain of leaves after leaf collection company leafs through their rulebook then leaves his leaves and leaves


There's a whole lotta left leaves going on in this thread, and we're left wondering why a company whose entire existence and sole purpose is collecting leaves is so bad at doing so. You wouldn't expect a leaf collection company to operate like city parking enforcement agencies — which are, without exception, the most useless organizations on the planet. 

Well, expectations aside, this leaf collection cartel is hilariously particular about what leaves they will collect and where. Any leaves that don't follow their strict protocol will be left. This guy had it with their stringent rules and leaf leaving and decided to take matters into his own hands, and it's hard to be-leaf just how big this leaf pile must have been.

Keep reading for this mad tale of leaf-fueled revenge, as told by Reddit user u/nillanute4283 on Reddit's r/maliciouscompliance subreddit. For more, check out this guy who was told he couldn't take smoke breaks if he wasn't "smoking," so he decided to find a different way of "smoking" without having to pick up the habit.

'I held it for 40 minutes and it got really bad': Couple fights after girlfriend goes to the bathroom in his car


You know what they say: desperate times call for desperate measures. In this case, the desperation reached its tipping point. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/ghatyii, who explained how she and her boyfriend were driving home and were completely stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The Redditor needed to go to the bathroom (#1) and refused to go on the side of the road because she didn't want people to see her (let's not forget that doing so would technically be illegal as well). Anyway, nature was calling and a hydro flask had to take the place of a toilet for the time being. 

 

Given the intensity of the reactions in the comments section, it's clear that this little anecdote is all too familiar to plenty of people. Considering that the Redditor didn't go directly on the seat and had the car professionally cleaned afterward, I would say that she was more than generous. When you gotta go, you gotta go!

Animals who were absolutely way too chonky and thicc


We all have that one friend who has a 15 year old cat named like Snowball, and this cat is MASSIVE. Like way too large, the vet probably should have put it on a diet. Until recently, you'd just have to admire that cat from afar and tell people how insanely beefy this random cat is. But these days, on r/AbsoluteUnits, people post the biggest of any random object, and sometimes, animals are included on the list. Hence, here is a list of a handful of these animals who are super large - way too big in fact! - just absolute units of fur. Some of them are hindered by their size, like a sheep who grew it's fur until it could barely walk. But others, like this longhorn with extra extra long horns, definitely benefit from their large stature. Keep scrolling to see these otherworldly chonks below!

Happy commiserating, fellow members of the workforce! That's right. Just when you thought you had seen all the work memes in town, we've got a fresh batch of new work memes for you all. Because as long as something like work is in existence, there will be endless amounts of content and memes and tweets (well, maybe not tweets for much longer… I guess we'll have to wait and see about that). The reality is, this is the kind of content you might hate to love or love to hate. Just like work itself. Well, maybe that one's slightly less divisive and leans more toward the hate to hate category of feelings. Anyhoo, keep scrolling below to have a look at these new work memes. Share them with your work bestie. Whatever gets you through the day. For more content like this, take a look at these wildly entertaining dating app fails.

'The manager [...] didn't want [him] to even finish the shift': Misogynist coworker insists he doesn't listen to women, ends up unemployed also


It shouldn't be all that hard to behave like a reasonable and rational human individual — right? Like it's not that difficult to get up in the morning and put on your business persona and treat other people with the slightest amount of respect. Sure, there might be a deep fire of eternal rage burning somewhere deep inside you for the sheer disappointment that adult life holds — the field of your future littered with broken promises and unrealized dreams — but that doesn't mean that it's ok to take out your rage on the other people you come into contact with, who are all just trying to survive the same demoralizing existence as you. 

So, why, then, do some people think it's ok to go into a place of work (or anywhere, really) and start spouting off blatantly abysmal beliefs and opinions? How do these people even still have jobs?

Well, this idiot coworker doesn't anymore after he saw fit to flaunt his weird conclusions about the world. Keep reading for the story. For more, check out these lazy coworkers who tried to scapegoat their other coworker who was already doing everything.

'I can't stress enough what a terrible idea this is': Overconfident dude insists he can make huge wedding meal, ignores commenters begging him not to


One avid chef got more than he bargained for when he asked a seemingly simple question to the r/BBQ subreddit. The user, named LogicofUnknown, explained that he wanted to cook a huge and delicious meal for his upcoming wedding event, but needed advice on how to pull it off. Mentioning that his wedding is "next Saturday," the OP hadn't gotten any food catering planned for the event. He explained that sans Thanksgiving this year, this event was going to be a big family meeting time. He listed out the meats and sides he wants to cook himself - smoked turkey, double glazed ham, collard greens…it seems mouth-watering!

Here's the problem - no matter how big OP's kitchen is, he's going to have a hard time organizing and preparing enough food for an entire wedding…basically by himself…on the day before and day of the wedding. Ummm, that's no easy feat. A professional chef chimed in to give the OP their very candid opinion and how he could potentially still pull off the mega-meal. But when it comes to food safety precautions, this OP seemingly doesn't believe it or doesn't want to hear it. Oh, and where will his bride be during all this? Find out below. Read all the drama that went down, where the OP explains the situation and then gets downvoted when commenters don't care for his plan.

29 Stupendous Starter Packs to Start Your Sorry Day With


Some people have just got way too much time on their hands, and thank the gods for that. Sifting through all these Starterpacks has restored our general faith in humanity's ability to be innovative, creative, and consistent. Seriously… respect. Some people just pull 'em off in a way that does the subject justice. If you've been scouring the internet (more specifically Reddit) for a while now, you'll know of the subreddit that exists for the sole purpose of creating Startpacks. There were a few that were so wild that we were slightly surprised weren't reported, but hey – free speech, right? 

 

There's a little something here for everyone. Quick spoiler – if you're a Midwestern dude or babe, you're gonna find quite a few you'll relate to. Heck, if you're over the age of 30 you'll most likely relate to most of them. There were a few that made us feel personally attacked. Scroll down to judge people's impeccable skills, or just sift through for a good relatable laugh. If you wanna check out some pics that prove that expectation doesn't always necessarily line up with reality, click here.

'What am I supposed to do with all these pies?': Horrible manager gives unclear baking instructions, now everyone takes home free pies


Sometimes, malicious compliance can have delicious results! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Ok-Fishing-6604, represents another story in which a horrible boss flipped out as a result of her own poor leadership.

 

A few Thanksgivings ago, the Redditor was a college student working at a grocery store. She stayed behind and worked late one night at her manager's request to handle all the upcoming pie orders. The problem was that when the original poster asked her manager exactly how many to bake, the boss rolled her eyes and made some obnoxious comment about how the Redditor should just keep baking until she showed up. And if that's not a recipe for malicious compliance, I don't know what is! At the end of the day, 400 pies were baked (there were only 100 orders as it turns out), and the Redditor couldn't get in any real trouble because, well, she was just doing what she had been told to do. The bonus was that all her coworkers got to take home extra pies for the holidays. Like I said, sometimes malicious compliance can have delicious results

'Too late, I already cheated': 20+ Top Tinder moments and fails from the wild world of online dating


It's a harsh and wild world out there… When you brave out into the wilderness that is the online dating lifestyle — you never know what you're going to find. There are so many people out there that haven't the slightest idea what they actually want or who they themselves even are that it's hard to imagine them ever finding a successful match. It's often said that in order to find someone, you need to focus and work on yourself first. All too many people see this as validation of their own narcissism when the point was actually self-discovery.

'Expect them to turn up uninvited': Entitled nightmare couple tries to take control of couple's bachelor party, get big surprise instead


One entitled couple got a rude awakening as they tried to help plan a hen and stag party. As the OP details in this fascinating story from r/weddingshaming, there's one couple in his friend group who are a bit pushy and just show up at every single friend event…even when their presence is not wanted. 

When some of the group's friends began planning their upcoming nuptials, the nightmare couple continue to show up to the events. But then they finally take things a step too far when they demanded the perfect hen and stag party (bachelor and bachelorette party) for themselves, not caring what the bride and groom might think. If their strict demands weren't met, they wouldn't show up to the wedding. But then things took a turn…read the full story below!

'Y'all the first people in the world to see': Viral trend shows uniquely weird objects to the whole internet


In the age of the internet, sometimes it can feel like you've already seen it all. Trends repeat, every few years the same fashion trends will reignite, and of course you can access almost any movie or show. 

So what is new on the internet? Well, some extra creative people have been making videos showing just that. The trend is simple: take a few random objects - as off the wall as possible - and combine them to show your viewers something brand new. The trend often involves weird food being poured on a toy, or strange combinations that would taste awful. Other users took old toys and gave them a new use just for their viewers to see. Creators seem to love this trend, while viewers are divided on the absurdity of it all. But truly…we are seeing something new!

'She said she is pretty sure that I’m not the father': Pregnant mom abandons husband and kids, her parents still try to defend her


This guy's in-laws need to face reality. Their daughter not only is pregnant with an affair baby, but she also admitted to her husband that their 13-year-old daughter is likely not his kid. Now, she's moved in with her new boyfriend and has completely cut off communication with the rest of her family.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and it just goes to show to how blind some parents can be to their grown kids' behavior. This mother-in-law still managed to spin the story in such a way that she blamed the Redditor for not doing enough to save his family. Seriously? This all happened at their grandchildren's birthday party by the way, and it's not like the Redditor's wife doesn't know her own kids' birthday. She actively chose not to attend. There's no way to spin this. She's the AH here. Period!

'My seat was playing host to Karen's bag': Karen tries to take up two seats on the train, passenger gets petty revenge


There's nothing more satisfying in this world than getting petty revenge on a Karen. This one really deserved it. On a fully packed Amtrak train with assigned seating, she refused to move her bag from the Redditor's seat until an attendant made her move it. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/Zulera301, who later got revenge by playing the Sims on their laptop in the middle of the night and keeping our dear Karen awake. Here's the thing. No one wants to sit next to a stranger during public transit, but sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Every time I swallow my pride and get on another Megabus, I pray that no one sits next to me. And I pray even harder that if I do have to share a seat, it isn't with a gum chewer or a crying kid or crying gum-chewing kid. But I understand that when it's completely full, I have no choice in the matter.

'You are charging way too much': 20+ Choosing beggars whose entitled ends know no bounds


There are persons in this world who want far more than they would ever have to give — and they still want more than that. These entitled "choosing beggars" want everything for nothing and won't settle for anything less. They can be encountered in the marketplace of the face-books and lurking in the corners of Craig's list. It's highly likely — especially if you're an artist or freelance worker — they'll barge their way into your DMs and demand a free commissioned piece.

Guy makes calculated purchase for wife's expensive smart watch, buys her a color she doesn't wear


There's something to be said for trying — but the last thing you want to do with a half-baked gesture is expose how little you listen to (or care) about your partner's wants and wishes. It doesn't take that much time or great observational skills to take note of the things that your partner enjoys; one might hope that, through general time spent together, it's something you'd just naturally and innately come to know. 

I say this despite myself having the observational skills of a deaf bat and the propensity to make a color "work" for a deal. Yet, even I know that my girlfriend loves the color green (everything we own is the same damn shade of it) and wouldn't be caught dead wearing silver-toned jewelry.

Well, this guy missed the memo when he elected to go for the deal and nab his wife a silver Apple Watch; his wife's distaste for a silver tone would soon cause a rift between the couple when she accused him of deliberately ordering a color she wouldn't like. Now, I'll default to Hanlon's Razor here and say that the wife's accusation isn't necessarily fair, for you should "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity," — granted, there's a fair amount of stupidity going on here; it's also definitely not the first time something like this has happened.

It's fair to say that saving money and being frugal is important when considering the family's finances — but talking about replacing an Apple Watch that's "a few years old" solely because of the battery life makes me think finances are of little concern here…

This guy needs to get to the heart of the issue and sort out why his wife is feeling this way, because it's certainly not an isolated incident.
