Ah, the wonders of Christmas morning: Family gathering around the tree, coming from near and far in order to enjoy a day filled with mirth and cheer — all to the tune of the landlord's new concrete driveway being poured and leveled. What a wonderful time of year.
The art of sending holiday cards seems to be dying out, so revive your passion for the season with these hilarious, very old Christmas cards! Dating back to the Victorian era, some of these cards are mighty ancient. Their weirdo designs probably made some sense back in the day, as an inside joke, perhaps.
After you get inspired to send out your own yeti-attack themed holiday cards, check out this video creator who shared the infuriating things that Karens say to her as a thrift shop manager.
In any relationship, if you're not appreciated for your efforts, there's no better time to walk away than now. Of course, when it comes to employment, there are always considerations to be made for maintaining a source of income, but if an opportunity has presented itself for something better, you really should just go for it.
That's what this worker decided to do when they had had enough of their terrible job. They received an offer for a big increase in salary and more flexible working conditions and approached their employer to see if they were willing to match. Their current employer's response was disrespectful and rude, so they made the decision to quit on the spot.
They have now returned, a year later, with an update to share how things have gone for them in the last year and provide a little bit of insight as to whether or not their change in jobs was a good move. Overall, the change has been incredibly positive.
Keep reading for these two threads. The original thread is first, and the update starts on item #11. For more, check out this employer that instated a wild policy mandating checks of employees and their belongings before they were allowed to leave work.
One Mom tried to contact her kid, but ended up texting with a complete stranger for hours! This man shared his hilarious tale of a wrong number who just wouldn't accept that they'd gotten it wrong. He gets a message asking him to go to the store to get groceries. After explaining to the woman on the other end of the text that he's not who she thinks, she just ignores it. She keeps asking over and over again, as well as threatening her "child" with punishments. This poor guy tries everything to convince this mom she's got the wrong number, and it's very funny waiting for the coin to drop.

LinkedIn is basically a platform where grown-ups go to brag, and it doesn't sound as stupid as those Facebook 'I am thrilled to announce that I recently graduated (with honors!) from the Elite Rainbow Unicorn Ivy League School (that celebrities keep talking about LOL). The experience was spiritually eye-opening and allowed me to demonstrate my flexibility and willingness to cover up how much my parents paid the school to accept me. I'd also like to give my best friend, the Dean's daughter, a big shoutout for her (kind of snarky) words of encouragement throughout…' posts. Except you and I both know that it kind of does. And it's extra stupid, precisely because it is disguised as 'not stupid'.
To be indelicately candid, I can't stand LinkedIn. Every time I scroll through it, I roll my eyes so much that at this point they're basically at the back of my head. I can see some of the pros, obviously. For example, it's a great way to expand your social network, find a job, and develop your career… yada yada. But it's also the perfect platform to brag and say stupid crap. There is absolutely no shortage of either. Sometimes, when I'm really bored and other social platforms kind of lack content, I go to Linkedin to stay entertained. Also, thank goodness Reddit exists because there is a beautiful subreddit designed specifically for this kind of BS. Scroll down and check it out!
P.S : Have a look at this totally unrelated but funny post about a woman who clapped back at a rude dude who thought she was just a little girl.
Working in the service industry has so many curves and dips, it's a chaotic job to say the least. You have Karen customers yelling at you left and right, you have inexperienced and yet entitled managers getting hired, and sometimes just the strangest things happen. For instance, you could be casually waiting on a table when all of a sudden you witness a man cheating on someone he's literally eating dinner with right that second. So what do you do?
These days everyone wants to be an influencer — or thinks they already are.
Remember that kid on the playground that would come up and take your toy just because they were envious that you had one and they didn't? Yeah, some people never mature past that point.
These are the same people who try and confront you while you're loading your recently-acquired loot into your car at Walmart and demand that you give it to them because they need it more than you. Like the kid on the playground, they might not have even wanted it if they didn't see it in your hands, but — because you have it and they don't — they have to have it too.
To be completely honest, it's stressful enough dealing with strangers in public without them approaching you in the parking lot and making incoherent demands. Kudos to this guy for handling it well and sharing his experience online for us to enjoy.

What would happen if you tried to order a burger, but took off the lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, sauces, burger, and hamburger buns? One man decided to take one for the team (team being Twitter at large) and find out for himself what would happen. He posted about the experience to Twitter so that everyone else could also have a bite of the experiment.
The user, Rob DenBleyker, first created a food order of a hamburger from a popular chain, and took off every single ingredient. Scroll down to check out what happened, then read through the comments with suggestions of what this Twitter user should try next!

Karens are already the worst to deal with, but a wealthy Karen is entitlement x1,000. The kind of tantrum-throwing that a wealthy Karen can produce can send any poor victim into the most mind-boggling frustration. However, it IS possible for justice to be served piping hot to a wealthy Karen and it's more likely to happen as a group defense. And, of course, it helps if that group is a bunch of New Jerseyans in need of bagels on a Sunday morning.
It doesn't get more heartless than this. This Karen entered her current relationship with her husband knowing full well that he had a close platonic friendship with his ex-wife. He made it clear from the get-go that this friendship was non-negotiable and that it would never turn into something more than friends again. He was true to his word.
Karen posted this thread to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit after her husband's ex-wife died suddenly of an aneurysm. You can sense her sick and twisted relief that she's gone. You can also sense her absolute cluelessness when she heartlessly denied her husband the right to plan and attend this woman's funeral. Thankfully, this guy stood up for himself, and now I think it's pretty clear that this marriage may also implode soon.

One unhappy customer tried to write a 1-star review about a leather jacket they got …only to have the company clap back at them.
It all started with a "name and shame" post, in which the OP told the r/Leathercraft community not to buy from this specific retailer. That's because they were really unhappy with the quality of the leather, citing about 30 imperfections. Then, when they reached out to the company, no one got back to the OP for several weeks. That was enough for the OP to want to spread the news of their poor experience.
Thus launched a feud between the brand and the customer, with the brand demanding the OP take down the scathing review. However, the OP believes they should be allowed to write a bad review for what they felt was a bad product. Unlike many Reddit posts, there isn't a clear conclusion to who is in the right and who is in the wrong in this scenario. I think that everyone needs to apologize in this situation, but other people side strongly with OP or the company.

We've all had an Airbnb horror story! And if you haven't yet, you will. Let's of course remember that there have been some great experiences too. But as we all know by now, one bad experience can sometimes make you completely forget about the good times. Keep scrolling below for a look at these Airbnb fails, which also include helpful guidelines on how to spot hidden cameras in your next Airbnb (a far more common occurrence than you might think!).

There are times when you shouldn't let your McDonald's craving get the better of you. Your cousin's wedding is certainly one of those times.
How did this mother in good conscience post this thread to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit and expect people to think she was in the right? Either she lacks any semblance of self-awareness or she's so desperate for likes on Reddit that she made the whole thing up. If we're going with the former, hopefully, the judges of the AITA community gave this lady plenty to think about, particularly when it comes to her son. The dude is 22 years old and, according to the original post, everyone else seemed to enjoy the food at the wedding. He should suck it up and wait until after he leaves to have his precious fast food. Instead, he brought it into the venue, handed food out to others, and left chicken bones on the floor.

Parenting is exhausting; at its worst, it's like a marathon that you run uphill for 18 years with no water stations and no end in sight. That's why it's a godsend when you can find someone (whether a bribed family member or paid caretaker) who can take your child off you for a few hours. Of course, for some parents, this whole time is spent worrying whether or not the child is alright and being adequately cared for — others still might be able to enjoy their time but be relieved when they return home to their offspring.
If you are one of the many people who have been convinced by their friends to use a dating app, we feel for you. 'Download Tinder!' They said. 'It'll be fun!' They said. And here you are, months into denial, thinking you'll meet your soulmate with the next swipe, or at the very least, a good FWB. Then you're left perpetually wondering why you ever listened to them because their promises are empty. The algorithm is obviously against you (and me, and everyone else) but it's just so addictive, you can't seem to stop.
You are guaranteed an endless supply of super hot people (Has anyone seen a Tinder ad recently? Those people on the poster DON'T EXIST) but it's all LIES. It's like when you know something is bad for you, but you want it anyway. Forbidden fruit and all that. And don't even get me started on the constant ghosting or the crazies… or the FOMO. So let's scroll down to make ourselves feel better that we are not the only ones stuck catching piranhas in an imaginary sea of fish.
Car lovers, gather 'round - these are real drivers out on the roads, rocking some excellent custom license plates. Most license plates have a random collection of letters and numbers on them, but some drivers opt to create their own vanity plate, which can say almost anything. Vanity plates can't use foul language or be inappropriate… in theory! These folks managed to game the system and come up with some pretty inventive workarounds.

Everyone has bizarre food preferences, but some of these are truly shocking. This r/AskReddit thread includes the following controversial food opinions. If you are the type of person who would go out on a limb for pineapple on pizza (gross), ketchup on everything (filthy), and cottage cheese (who do you think you are?!), then you have come to the right place. Keep scrolling below for these screenshots, and when you're done, take a look at these pizza fails.

This person did not get the feedback they wanted! They posted this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit hoping for some good old-fashioned solidarity at sticking it to the ~man~, so to speak. What they got instead was some serious questioning about their diet.
For some context, the Redditor works at an island resort, and their personal toilet has never seemed to work. After a while, HR started to ignore the original poster's requests to unclog their toilet. Once HR caught wind that they had begun using the guest's bathroom, they were reprimanded. After that, the Redditor had no choice but to use the bathroom in HR's office and knowingly clog the toilet. Once people in the comments started to question the Redditor's dietary health, they got defensive and didn't do any favors to themselves after revealing more information. Keep scrolling below to see for yourself! For more tales of malicious compliance, check out this one about an entitled customer's pizza order.
Yes, we are aware that people in High Tech make ridiculous amounts of money. Personally, I kind of gawked at the number that was blaring in big black letters in front of my eyes as I read the post that was on the AITA sub. 300K? What the actual ****? Who makes that kind of money!? People working in High Tech, my friends. They also tend to work a lot less than your average customer service employee and get way more benefits. We can understand that it's not always easy to ignore the unfairness in life.
And to hear that your brother's fiancé makes that amount of money, while you yourself are pregnant, single, and broke… is not an easy feat. But a harsh reality is that life isn't fair. Furthermore, if you know someone who is making that amount of money, congratulate them. Don't be an AH. Just because you're having a hard time doesn't mean you have to make others feel bad for working hard to get where they are. Blame the system, not the person who decided to play the game of the system. So to conclude… Rude, much? Scroll down to read about the drama that ensued.

Who doesn't know the tupperware rule? Apparently, this guy didn't. The unspoken rule is that when someone bakes you cookies and lends you their tupperware, you should at least give it a rinse before handing it back all dirty and gross. But apparently, if you're an entitled dude who demanded that his coworker bake him a specific type of cookie in the first place, you might not be the kind of guy to pick up on this rule.
This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, goes to show that when your coworker lacks even an ounce of self-awareness, don't reward their behavior with cookies. Then, you might be able to avoid this kind of wildly entitled behavior. That being said, this is totally the other guy's fault, and hopefully reading the savage comments below gave him the kind of wake-up call he needed. For more stories like this, check out this one about a cheating coworker.
Some people have zero self-awareness and totally expect themselves to be in the right when everyone else would gladly tell them that they are, in fact, totally wrong. This husband probably was thinking this exact thing when he decided to ask his wife for a divorce after she pulled the plug on his gaming session over his unwillingness to help out with the couple's child.
The wife made a post to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit in which she appealed to readers of the online community to see whether she was in the wrong for taking more dire measures to separate her husband from his gaming session. I'd normally be a staunch defender of the parents getting suitable time to escape and pursue their hobbies, but this sounds like an extreme situation. The wife is both the primary breadwinner and primary caretaker while the husband — well, he doesn't do f*** all, really. To be honest, the guy sounds like me in University — but I didn't have a wife and sick child to look after. He sounds like a pretty heavy deadweight that she should be glad to be rid of.
Keep reading for this thread. It starts with the initial post, and the original poster provides more context to the situation in the comments from item #8.

We all know those in-person days and those WFH days look very different. When it's an in-person day, you get up with just the right amount to shower, get ready, grab your morning coffee, and commute to the office looking like a professional human person. But when it's a remote day, here's what's really happening.
First, you get up at the last possible moment before a meeting. You don't shower until mid-day when you should be working. You don't change into anything remotely professional looking. Instead, you wear sweats, or you cover yourself with a blanket, or you stay in bed, or you just wear nothing at all (I'm not endorsing this behavior, it's simply reality). In short, on the in-person days, you look like a photoshopped version of a human, and on the remote days, you look less than unfiltered.

Designing and constructing a building - how hard could it possibly be? Draw a few blueprints here, toss a few bricks and cement there, easy peasy. Joking, of course, but these 35 structures below have suffered from some poor planning. It looks like a lot of these buildings, staircases, and a surprising amount of bathrooms, were all just thrown together as quickly as possible.
It's like the construction crew just cared about completing the building ASAP, and didn't even worry about the people using it. Electricity by water fixtures? Who cares! A disability ramp that will send you careening off a second story building? Neat! We're shaking our heads so hard at these building blunders - keep scrolling and try not to roll your eyes too hard.

An excellent sign of an obliviously entitled person is someone who refuses to control their pet. Fido might be your best friend, but that doesn't mean you should be letting it roam endlessly onto other people's property or taking off the leash at an explicitly leashed park.
It's not often that people actually return to take accountability for their actions on the internet. We're so set in our ways, polarized in our beliefs, and utterly convinced we're right that we tend to struggle to take other people's advice and opinions on board. Luckily, this Reddit user seems to have accepted the judgment they received on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, and they have returned with an update to include the steps they intend to take for reparations with the neighbor.

Some people are a little less self-aware than others, and sometimes they need some gentle nudging in the right direction. Then again, everyone has their own perspective, and none is better than the other… yet still, there are some universal things that people agree on, and these things often have to do with basic vision… of the eyes. If someone is super attractive, you can just tell. They may not be your type, but you can still objectively say that they are attractive. When someone is not so attractive, same thing. And for the record, someone can be less attractive from a societal perspective, but you could still be attracted to them, and they may be more your type than others who do fit the (crazily high) social standard of beauty.
Don't mind me going in circles, though. This article is about a post I found on r/AITA, of a man who sat his friend down and told him quite bluntly, that he should lower his standards in regards to dating. This is less about how attractive his friend is, and more about his friend's double standards. This friend, you see, was not blessed with good-looking genes (which is fine), and does nothing to make himself look more 'attractive' (again, totally fine) — yet he does believe that the women he dates need to meet a certain physical standard - while he doesn't hold himself to the same standards. He is, as you can imagine, very single.
I'm kind of torn on this post, but you're welcome to take a look and judge for yourself. Because that's what we do here, after all. We read posts on the internet and judge strangers. Cuz it's fun. So sue me. And while we're on the topic of reading posts on the internet, feel free to check out these random memes for a good laugh, because they basically define reality.
One person shared their experience reconnecting with an old boss after an emotional departure from the job. The OP shared to Reddit, asking if they were in the wrong with the interaction. This person describes how they worked for a company for six years, rising through the ranks and eventually even doubling their salary over years of hard work. But then they got an offer they couldn't refuse. It would more than double their salary!
The OP quit with what they thought was an appropriate tone, and even had a plan in place for leaving. But their boss exploded upon hearing the news, accusing them of disloyalty to the company that made their career possible.
However, OP decided that they still wanted to have this boss in their life, because he mentored them, and they didn't want to burn bridges. So they decided to meet up for a drink, and the OP ended up getting some much-needed explanations behind the bosses' strong reaction.

We're often told in life that we should always do the right thing, but what is one to do when the right thing is also wrong? Perhaps, this quandary is the best way to consider the situation at hand in this story. This guy has taken to pettily trolling his rich Karen neighbor, who is infuriated by the fact that public works have just completed a project that has added a road connecting her upscale neighborhood to a poorer one.
It's pretty safe to assume that this Karen is probably just one of those people who resist advancement of any kind and have excuses for why no changes should ever be made to anything ever.
Keep scrolling to see screenshots of the post and reactions. There's something totally glorious about baiting the rage of an irrational individual; after all, it is one of the oldest art forms on the internet.

The best part of the holiday season is that sweet spot on the calendar between Thanksgiving and the New Year where everyone's work comes to a complete stand still. Society just understands that we might as well chill during this time frame and it's completely normal for people to simply put an away message on their email that says, "OOO—Let's circle back in 2023". Those spreadsheet issues are just going to have to wait until January to be solved.
Maybe it's become normalized because everyone is using up the last of their PTO, giving up on Q4 goals, and cracking a beer at 11am so that they can endure their family members who have decided to stop by with cookies every other day to get in the holiday spirit. Whatever you need to do to survive the holidays is definitely not going to include late nights at the office or working overtime. 2022 is over and any work problems are simply going to roll over into next year.
In life, there will always be people you don't get along with perfectly. For the most part, people tend to keep the peace and not destroy relationships. But as these people below shared, when someone no longer has power over your life, it can be the perfect time to gloat!
On the r/askreddit sub, the question was posed: What was the best "you have no power here" moment you have ever seen? And people sure had some entertaining answers! Their tales of sweet sweet revenge against their parents and bosses are wildly entertaining. Some people grow so powerful in their roles as bosses or parents that they start talking to people however they want, being rude or entitled. It's really satisfying to see these folks get their comeuppance after months or years of toxic behavior. In some cases, their own words were used against them.
