'It's not a doctor's note, it's a Mommy note. Everyone in the office just stares at it': Manager shares story of an uppity employee and his over-involved Mommy

One grocery store manager had an exasperating experience with "Ray," a young employee with a lot of entitlement at his very first job. The original OP (OOP) shared a series of cringey encounters that took place at her job, chronicled from over a decade ago. As a supervisor of a grocery store, she had to deal with a variety of personalities, and a lot of young people, since in her town, this place functioned as a lot of teenager's very first job. Enter "Ray," a new cashier who suddenly had many complaints about his new workspace. 

This manager shared the events as they happened from October to November, including an escalation with one of Ray's craziest family members. The post was even deemed a rare case of ESH, or "everyone sucks here," meaning everyone in the situation shared some blame for what went down. 

After you find out what's up with Mama's boy Ray, add your own opinion to the internet's collective Anti Bucket List of things we're never, ever, ever doing.

‘What Are You, a Snowflake?’ : 20 Blunt Signs That Don’t Beat Around the Bush

Whoever created these signs get an A+ for creativity. Some of them are dumb, some of them are clever, and some are plain offensive. Still, they leave little to the imagination. I wonder whose job it is to double-check these things or come up with the mottos. Who approved these for the masses? Maybe the job is so boring that it leaves no choice to the employee but to make their own life more interesting.

 

A couple of these signs are oddly specific as if there is a very peculiar backstory… makes me wonder. If your boss doesn't have a sense of humor, you might not still have a job. Either way, feel free to scroll down and judge for yourself. From advertising jobs for losers to selling merchandise that promises to make your partner 'less ugly', there's something here for everyone.

'We have made a change to PTO': Horrendous HR tries to get workers to use their PTO if they need to work from home

Since when were PTO and WFH the same thing? Apparently, at this company, these completely separate concepts have been conflated as a means to manipulate employees. That's what this Redditor shared via this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, and let's just say that people in the comments section were quick to call out this ridiculous toxicity. 

 

Time off is time off, not time out of the office. We should culturally be used to the concept of remote work for long enough now to know that it's still very much work. We suspect that this policy would be rescinded immediately with the quick and brief involvement of the Labor Board because the concept behind this fakery is clearly illegal. This isn't anyone's agenda to work less but rather to make appropriate use of the time off that employees signed up for when taking on the job.

'I will never do that for you': Teacher refuses to help student log into school account, gives him failing grade

Every so often, you come across an authority figure who just wants to see you fail. For many people, that starts in school. For this Redditor, the dynamic wound up manifesting itself in something completely out of their control. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/Dziobic.

 

The original poster was locked out of their school account and was not able to log in to even look at any assignments. After repeatedly trying to explain the predicament to their 'old school' teacher, the teacher refused to help and made an announcement that anyone who is not able to log in for any reason will fail the assignment automatically. This was just an extra level of cruelty because she clearly meant to shame and embarrass the student. As for the technical troubles, we get the sense that this teacher somehow assumed that the student was using technology to get out of doing the work, which is a troubling and cynical assumption to make before listening to all the facts. Keep scrolling below for the full story. For more, take a look at this college student's malicious compliance. 

'I am NOT AVAILABLE': Manager decides to change student worker's availability during their school holiday without talking to them

Communication is a key part of any business. Being able to have simple conversations with staff and other workgroups is an important part of being a manager. 

Communication can be a tricky thing, the discrepancy between what you intend to say and what other people hear is vast, so it's important to be clear and concise with your message. Communication is so easy to get wrong, but the sure way to fail at it is not to do it at all. The worst thing you can do — as a manager or at any level of an organization — is make an assumption in the place of a simple conversation.

That's what this manager did when they decided to change their worker's availability and schedule them for more shifts without talking to them first. The manager knew that their employee's holiday from school was coming up, but instead of asking them if they were able to work more, they just scheduled them for the shifts.

This went over like a lead balloon, and the ensuing confrontation was then posted by the employee to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, where it sparked discussion around the topic.

'I never want to go swimming in a pool entirely filled with spiders': Internet creates a massive Anti Bucket List with some oddly specific answers

Get in loser, we're going to make an Anti Bucket List! Everyone already knows what a regular bucket list is — a long and wishful list of hopes and dreams for the future. Usually people will include their dream vacation spots, or some fun activities like mountain climbing or jumping out of an airplane.  

But today, some folks felt like compiling an Anti Bucket List. It started with the simple question of naming the myriad 'Things [yo]u never wanna do?' There's a surprising amount of overlap between people's ordinary bucket list things and the anti. For example, some of the respondents actually don't want to go skydiving or have kids.

But then there are also plenty of great answers about the more miserable parts of life, like sickness or cheating on a partner, that definitely belong on this list. There was a ton of variety in the responses — you're sure to have an "I'm never doing that" moment as you read through. 

Then, cleanse the thoughts of spiders from your mind with this collection of crafty individuals who tried and failed at making artwork, and instead made us laugh. 

'Well she can't have her money back': Guy rents out space for birthday party, has cringeworthy fallout with friend over money

Is friendship refundable? That's the question that comes to mind when reading about this uncomfortable falling out between two friends over money for another friend's birthday party. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Longjumping-March640, who explained that he had rented out a space for their friend's upcoming party and everyone in the group agreed to pay $80-90 each for the venue. He gave everyone 48 hours notice and also explained that once the reservation was booked, it could not be undone.

 

Now, here's where things get sticky. The Redditor's friend Mara, who has a different financial situation, backed out of the party last minute after already paying because she made a mistake and had a different event that night. $80=90 is pretty steep for a birthday party in my opinion, but that didn't seem to be the reason why Mara had to back out. Now, there's a world in which these could two could have worked something out together before things got nasty. Mara badmouthed the Redditor to their other friends, saying that he should cover her cost and reimburse her fully. Big mistake! In another world, they could have found a mutually beneficial solution, but as it turns out, this falling out might have been inevitable.

‘Sorry to Break It to You, Our Work Culture Sucks’ : 20 Funniest Memes for the Broke Crowd Who Live for the Weekend

There are few people in this world who can honestly say that they actually enjoy their jobs. Most of us just kind of exist in this black hole called existence and try not to stir stuff up with HR or yell at our office Karen. If you work in retail, you try not to end up in the News for jumping at a customer. You count every day leading up to the weekend, and tell your coworkers that you are 'definitely quitting this year'. 

 

2023 is basically as stressful as 2022, and we're only a few days in… A long (preferably paid-for) vacation is needed. Christmas definitely didn't cut it.

So that's what we're doing right now, making sure that this miserable energy gets tossed around accordingly. Just kidding, we're obsessed with memes, and that's how we're gonna make ourselves feel better, as usual. 

 

It's the best way to procrastinate and ignore your real-life problems. The weekend also offers us some much needed relief. We can just lounge on the couch and watch 'The Office', scroll mindlessly through Tinder, and think about good comebacks to arguments we had weeks ago.

'[He] deserves a life of his own': Unhinged Dad refuses to let fully grown son leave the house, Mom saves the day

I guess father does not know best! In this scenario, at least, the father in question was objectively in the wrong here. This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, shows how an unhinged dad completely misses the point and confuses his son's desire for independence with "selfishness."

 

The post was written by the 23-year-old son's mother, who decided to intervene and help her fully grown kid rent an apartment of his own so that he could get a job and live his own life. His father wanted him to stay so he could keep taking care of his disabled younger brother. Of course, we are sensitive to this difficult predicament, but the way the Dad went about this was just all kinds of crazy. He kept on rescinding his own son's job applications so that he wouldn't ever have a shot at getting out. Absolutely wild!

'I am holding recruiters [...] to the same standard': Job seeker sends recruiter scathing email that divides the internet.

The performing art that is the job interview process can be exhausting. There are woefully unqualified and manipulative recruiters at every turn, hiding in the shadows, just itching to waste your energy and precious time. Once you make it to a first-round interview (after receiving no response to 50 other applications), you're put into the gauntlet of the interview charade where nothing matters except for charisma and the ability to feign competency. It doesn't matter a lick whether or not you're actually qualified; can you convince the interviewers (who might have no technical experience in your field) that you're qualified?

This frustrating exercise can get the better of even the most emotionally hardy of us, and this job seeker has become determined to turn the tables of the situation and get back at bad recruiters by giving them the "what for." 

That's all well and good, but their specific approach to the situation has divided readers. While some readers have applauded their drum beating and flag raising, others are pointing out that they might have jumped the gun and been a little quick to pull the trigger on their email. They sent their email (pictured) at 12:07 pm, a mere minutes after their interview was scheduled to be held. Who knows what number of things could have gone wrong to cause this delay? Sure, if it were the other way around, the job seeker probably wouldn't be receiving a second chance, but has their response gone too far? What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

'Kevin refuses to read restaurant menus... making the waiter/waitress explain every single dish': Guys shares the dangerously 'ludicrous plans' of his clueless Dad

Every Dad is silly in one way or another – that's just part of being a parent! – but this clueless Kevin is the ultimate goofy dad, making dangerous mistakes at every turn. As the OP shared to r/StoriesAboutKevin, his ultra clueless dad has nearly caused calamity many times throughout the OP's childhood. This Kevin has some weird hangups, from not being able to make beef "stick together" to refusing to read a single menu at a restaurant because he already knows what he wants to order. He sounds exasperating to live with! The OP shared numerous stories of this man's impressive levels of incompetence.

'This is ok isn't it': Job seekers hilarious interview screw up sparks a discussion that goes 'off the rails'

The job interview process is a tricky one. So much of it depends on the charade of weird social norms that it's really more of a performing art piece than an adequate way of vetting the performance of a candidate. There's so much research indicating that those who come across to recruiters as 'confidant' are more likely to be selected for a role, regardless of their actual experience or qualifications.

We humans are so quick to judge others, consciously and subconsciously, based on minuscule amounts of actual interaction; it can be really difficult to change someone's opinion of you once they have formed it. That's why first impressions are so important in both job interviews and any social setting.

Well, this job seeker might have given their interviewer the wrong impression (or maybe the right one?) with what they displayed in the background of their online interview. It wasn't until they had signed off that they realized their Thomas the Tank Engine pillowcase had been proudly displayed on their unmade bed for the entire thing. 

They posted an image of what their web camera had displayed to Reddit's r/CasualUK subreddit, where the image went viral and sparked a rowdy.

Sleepy Memes and Fails for Melatonin-Hungry Millennials

A 2023 Guide to 'Quiet Quitting' That You Should Never Share with Your Boss

2022 may have been the year of quiet quitting. What are the takeaways for this year?

 

Well, according to this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, there are plenty of concrete rules you can follow if you're planning to "quiet quit" this year. Now, as folks in the comments section suggest, there is a reason to avoid using this buzzword in 2023. Because as we all know, quiet quitting makes it seem like the employee is the only person at fault here. Really, this is all about acting your wage and ensuring that your boundaries between work and life aren't crossed. If they are, then employees should ensure that they are compensated for that extra effort. Hopefully, now that we're in a new year, employers can approach their reactions to "quiet quitting" with less hostility, less doubling down, and less aggression. That's not how you're going to motivate people. Let's hope that 2023 will be about listening and implementing actual changes to work environments.

'We were all suspended': Insane power-tripping manager reprimands and suspends all workers for no reason, gets fired

Some people just shouldn't have a single shred of power over other people… When these idiots find themselves with any semblance of authority or control, they wield it with an iron fist of furious stupidity. 

That's exactly what this assistant manager "Judith" was like. "Judith" was prone to foaming at the mouth any time she had the chance to fill in for the manager, as when she was in this position of power, she was able to rule unchecked. Now, the manager, "Bob," absolutely bears the brunt of the responsibility for this situation; there's no way that he should have been leaving Judith in control of this situation as she is clearly woefully unqualified to manage. At least she got fired in the end.

Funny Reddit Thread: Entitled/Nosy Karens Call the Police Over Rejected Phone Calls

There is a pretty big variety of different Karens. Some we call the 'Supermarket Karens', while others we put in the 'Fast Food' category. There are those pesky neighbor Karens, and the ones we're ashamed to have in our immediate family… there are also, it seems, 'Karens who call the police because how dare someone ignore their phone calls'. Yes, those exist.

 

While scouring Reddit, a hilarious thread popped up, where people shared similar Karen stories, making us wonder… are Karens going to take over the world? We bet they have some kind of a committee. To be accepted as a member, you must of course be required to prove you are a good, somewhat delusional, upstanding citizen who cares about the rules very much, while at the same time, you must also irrationally acknowledge that they don't actually apply to you.

'4K and 800 is a big difference': Jealous brother erupts at parents for spending more money on their daughter's gifts

As it turns out, we're still experiencing the fallout from the Holidays. We're not talking about breaking New Year's resolutions or getting adjusted to returning to work, though. No, we're talking exclusively about family drama. Specifically, family drama as it relates to Holiday gifts.

 

In this thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/JollyOldSaintNicki, a 22-year-old son living with his parents voiced his frustration after his older sister was gifted $4,000 following her recent purchase of a house. Meanwhile, the son's gifts amounted to $800. Sure, perhaps the parents could have been more careful with this and presented the $4K gift as a housewarming present rather than her Christmas gift, but is this a choosing beggar situation for the son? The gift disparity is certainly significant, but it's not like $800 is nothing…not to mention, this is a guy who has been living with his parents rent-free. Folks in the comments section seem pretty split on the issue. Keep scrolling below to see what they had to say.

Funniest Memes for Chill People Who Prefer Vacation Time Over The Grind

Motivational speakers like Eddie V have made their fortunes and their professional coaching empires from the ground up, preaching a principal that has taken over the minds and thoughts of middle class ladder-climbers for decades: The Grind. For some reason, people are obsessed with working themselves into the ground and trading their general well-being for a couple thousand more dollars. Nice trade buddy. What're you going to spend that money on? Probably therapy when the plan your overinflated ego created falls apart completely, reminding you that work is actually not the most important thing in your life. 

If you're not living the hustle lifestyle, some might call you lazy. But to be totally honest, you've just stopped to smell the roses, taking in the beauty that is life without work. You're the type that works to live, versus the Hustlers who live to work. BRB, I just baked a pie and I'm going to eat a slice on my porch while basking in the sun. Now that's living.

Update: Entitled 'crypto bro' brother demands free catering for his wedding after squandering a small fortune of inheritance

Some people have more money than common sense, and some people have so little common sense that they lose all of their money. Imagine being born on third base and getting caught out trying to steal second; that's the level of competency we're talking about in this thread. 

This Reddit user describes the situation at hand: Their entitled brother has decided that he wants to get married after squandering his inheritance on bad crypto investments. Because he's never had to work for anything himself and never experienced consequences for his actions, he expects his sister to cater the wedding to the tune of thousands of dollars in food — all for free.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. The original poster returned to add an update to their original post detailing what had happened since the initial posting. Turns out the brother had been "borrowing" all kinds of money from other family members, resulting in him being cut off by the family.

'He's a Nepo Baby': Son of successful entrepreneur gets defensive over awkward family dinner

This Holiday season, it seems that families were arguing about nepotism. In case you live under a rock, the viral New York Magazine cover focused on the successful children of celebrities in Hollywood and the systemic flaws within this system. Obviously, Hollywood is not the only institution where nepotism can play a factor in someone's success or lack thereof, and so as it turns out, people can get pretty testy about the topic.

 

With this story, which was posted via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Legacy-Ad8754, it turns out the Redditor works for his father's business. When the entire extended family gathered for New Years, his brother-in-law's wife made a potentially insensitive remark about how she wanted to see the Redditor's take on the article. Since he feels that his situation is wildly different from that of actors and actresses in Hollywood, he found the comparison to be empty and refused to explore the conversation further.

 

Yet herein lies the issue, my friends. Sure, it might have been a bit much to put a nepo baby in the hot seat at a family dinner. However, if the Redditor truly felt like his experience was different from that of celebrities, why did he get so incredibly defensive? No one is saying that nepo babies don't have talent or skills that have earned them work. It's not just a question of ability, though. It's a question of opportunity. On that note, if nepo babies continue to remain so defensive that no one can discuss the topic broadly (yes, we're talking about you, Kate Hudson and Jamie Lee Curtis), then the subject will continue to be insufficiently unpacked and the nepo babies themselves will come across as, well, insecure and/or blind. In other words, ignoring the topic entirely is a lose-lose for both parties. What do you think about discussing nepotism at the dinner table?

'They are going to let me work 2 more weeks... then I will be fired for looking for other jobs': Boss gives gift so terrible that employee quits

There are plenty of excellent presents for a boss to give to an employee, but one boss screwed up this simple task so badly that his employee decided to quit. The OP shared their story to r/antiwork, and revealed the entire story behind their decision to leave. 

As the OP tells it, they were bringing in plenty of cash for the business, generating over a million dollars in commissions during their time at the company. But after being given a truly unthoughtful present, the OP decided to leave, and their boss did not take it well at all.

'What a way to start the new year': New Dad demands girlfriend take a paternity test, comes out negative but she leaves him anyway

2023 definitely started off on a bad note for this couple! Despite zero evidence or reason to suspect anything, this new dad demanded that his girlfriend take a paternity test out of the blue. Mind you, their baby is already a few months old and the couple had been together for three years.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit, and in her post, the Redditor reveals that although she has agreed to take the paternity test because she doesn't have anything to hide, she is already making plans to leave this guy as soon as he gets the results back. According to folks in the comments section, it's very possible that this dude has been cheated on before and is traumatized, or perhaps he is looking for a desperate way out of fatherhood. Regardless, it may be a New Year, but the always-relevant solution of "Some guys should just go to therapy instead of destroying everything" still applies. Keep scrolling below for the full story.

'[I shouldn't have to] give up my chosen seat for their inability to plan': Redditors Applaud Person Who Rufuses to Give Up Pre-Paid Seat on a Delta Flight for a Couple to Sit Together

Flying is stressful no matter what. Even if you do it all the time and you feel like you have mastered it, there is always something that is somewhat of an inconvenient. Anything from you forgot your neck pillow on a lengthy flight, to complete cancellations and unhelpful customer service. These are just things you know are a possibility when you sign up for a flight. There are somethings you can do to ensure it's stress-free, like paying extra to book the exact seat you want. Unfortunately, you still run the risk of someone not planning ahead and asking you to switch, putting you in a very awkward position. 

This recently happened to a person on a Delta flight and they took to Reddit to ask if they were in the right for refusing to switch. The person had planned ahead and pre-paid for a certain aisle seat. However, the guy sitting in the middle of their row asked if they would mind switching with his girlfriend so they could sit together. The only issues was, this guy's girlfriend was sitting five rows back and was also in an uncomfortable middle seat. The person who spent good money to sit where he was said no and the guy was very upset with him. 

Eventually they got some other sucker to switch seats with them, but the couple still gave the original guy the stink eye the rest of the flight. Redditors, however, are 100% on his side, saying that this couple had no right to feel entitled to a seat switch.

'Ouch, That's Offensive' : Most Blunt Unpopular Opinions For The Brave Internet Knights Who Don't Shy Away From Controversy

From calling out privilege to giving some serious shade to medical professionals, some highly opinionated folk have taken to Reddit to express themselves. Being this vocal in real life might spark a dispute or two, and depending on how far you take it, you might even find yourself jobless.
