'Stop being upset at every little tiny thing and bothering managers': Delivery driver's pro revenge results in heavy fine for restaurant


This delivery driver was completely fed up with being put in her place by restaurant staff, so she decided to make a few phone calls to get revenge. 

Food delivery is a tough job, according to u/dadsabrat, who shared her story on r/ProRevenge. And it's made even more difficult by the whims of restaurant staff and managers, who the OP claims treat her and other drivers disrespectfully. There's not much they can do about it normally, but on this particular day, there was actually a safety concern worth reporting to the heavy hitter of workplace safety: OSHA.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was not happy to hear that this restaurant was ignoring important safety rules. Commenters noted that OSHA is not to be trifled with, since they can hand out hefty fines. If anything, this restaurant got off easy, since fines can range into the 5 figures! This delivery driver got to prove herself to this restaurant, and it's some sweet revenge for all of us to read. 

After you scroll through this delivery driver's tale, check out this post to r/DND that's dividing the internet over just how accommodating one DM should be to a vegan player. 

'No one tricked you. You screwed up': Guy takes girlfriend's Porsche out for a spin without her permission and won't pay for the damage


This dude literally drove his girlfriend's Porsche into a field against her wishes and is confused as to why she's mad. He shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit and has proven once again that the best part of reading AITA stories is when there's a slight admission of guilt buried underneath euphemisms. Everyone wants to paint themselves as the innocent victim in situations like these, but every so often, it's blatantly obvious that the Redditor is at fault - no matter how hard they try to sugarcoat things. 

 

In this instance, it became quite clear that the Redditor's girlfriend only wanted him to use her Toyota Camry for errands. Even later on, the original poster edited his story to add that he was pressured by a friend to take the Porsche out for a spin. What, are we teenagers succumbing to peer pressure here? Seems like this guy has a habit of blaming everyone for his problems but himself. Pay up for those damages, sir! You've earned it.

'I'm not really sure if that's a reasonable request to make': New vegan DND player demands the world be 'cruelty free,' dividing players


As the dungeon master of a longstanding Dungeons & Dragons campaign, this person isn't sure how to respond after receiving a startling request from a brand new player. Using a throwaway account, u/EmotionalMacaroon169 wrote to the r/DND subreddit asking for some advice. The internet doesn't always provide the nuance needed in these scenarios, but people in the comments seemingly understood both sides of the issue. 

Is this vegan player wrong for demanding a universe that suits her needs at the expense of the other players? The OP was totally unsure what to do. Many commenters suggested the OP tell the new player that she isn't the right fit for their campaign. She'd probably be much more comfortable in a group that aligns with her values. But even then, others noted that the whole purpose of the game involves imaginary violence so… how does she square that with her vegan beliefs? It's quite the conundrum. 

Let's hope the OP updates us — I bet they can find the vegan DND player a new campaign to try, while also salvaging their years-long campaign with their friends. Next up are these 20 terrible designs, from a tombstone-esqe advertisement to a bathroom shower that basically guarantees a trip to the ER. 

Rude client wants their tech support ticket escalated, gets fired when it gets escalated to their boss


It's often said that when going for a job interview, you should be kind and courteous to everyone you meet; famous anecdotes about not holding the front door to the building open for the person who ended up being the hiring manager reinforce this idea. Why, then, don't we extrapolate this idea and apply it to our daily lives—both professional and personal? When one lives their life in this way, they negate the chance of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time, like this sorry idiot who thought that they would get away with being rude and demanding towards a tech support worker, only to learn the hard way that the tech support worker was on a first name basis with their boss.

You might hope that this type of lesson would encourage someone to change their ways, but chances are they've found a way to rationalize the entire event so that it wasn't their fault and have learned nothing as a result.

'I snapped a picture of them [...] showing a little PDA:' Woman gets revenge on ex at the gym after catching him cheating with a married coworker


Sometimes, you're actively seeking revenge on your ex, but other times, the perfect recipe for revenge just falls right into your lap. You might not have been planning anything per se, but how could you not pursue it when the opportunity is right there? 

 

That's what happened to u/OddFiction, who posted this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit. She had just broken up with her very problematic ex after discovering he was cheating on her with a married coworker. However, he didn't know this was the reason, so sometime later when he and his coworker decided to exercise at the gym where the Redditor works, she found the perfect opportunity to get her revenge. See, gym members sign a waiver allowing to have photos taken of them for social media purposes. So you can guess what the Redditor did next.

Woman Steals Roommate's Cat, Wonders if He's Wrong


Reddit's AITA subreddit often presents us with complicated social situations where different considerations and ethical reasoning could make the decision go in either direction. This is not one of those times.

This woman saw fit to make off with his roommate's cat, citing the roommate's lack of attentiveness to the pet as her justification and reason. The internet has swiftly condemned her actions, calling her a thief and kidnapper and declaring her actions completely unjustified.

The woman writes that her roommate, Karl, "Wasn't the greatest of owners," mentioning that "While he did take care of the cat's food, water and litterbox, he ignored her existence almost entirely." She then goes on to explain how she bonded with the cat and began to resent its owner for keeping it inside all the time, taking that cat on outdoor adventures. 

Once moving out, the woman returned with a key that she had inexplicably kept and staged the apartment to make it look like the cat had run away, taking it for her own. It was only when a friend pointed out that perhaps this wasn't the most ethical thing to do that the user turned to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to see if she was in the wrong.

Readers were shocked; they quickly and almost unanimously declared the woman to be the "a-hole."

Top 20 Impressively Terrible Designs of the Week (February 17, 2023)


What in the world were they thinking when they designed this stuff? With all the technology available to us, you'd think that there would be no more badly designed items. And yet here are a bunch of pieces of furniture, signs, and even one tragic balcony, which are all designed to function poorly. 

The person who has the "tombstone" advertisement has my sympathies, although I don't understand how no one told them what it looked like before they posted it! Also, I'm curious who else absolutely loves that odd chair that looks like it would be a literal pain in the a** to sit in! Terrible design, maybe, but beauty is pain, darling. 

After you check out this latest batch of failed designs, why not look at a singular sign fail? This dude shared their boss's outrageous "on call" demands for the world to see, then commenters advised them exactly how to sue their company. 

'WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?': Dawn patrol worker who's woken up repeatedly by a drunken ditzy girl with the wrong number gets petty revenge at 4AM when he starts his shift


Drunk people can be the worst sometimes– especially when you're sober. The worst thing about drunk folks can be their brash behavior and inability to recognize social cues, boundaries, and appropriate protocol. One man, a morning shift worker who was preparing for a 4AM shift, became the brunt of classic drunkard antics one Saturday evening, but quickly got his revenge. 

u/itzpiiz, let's call him 'Piz', got mercilessly hounded by a ditzy drunk girl one night. The drunkard had the wrong number and was clearly belligerently wasted the first time she called Piz, constantly asking for "Steve" and ignoring Piz's pleading that she had the wrong number. As Piz prepared for his early shift, he got to bed by 9pm, but was woken several times by the drunk girl, who called nearly every hour until his shift started. Annoyed and unable to turn his phone off (since it was his alarm), Piz brewed an angry hatred towards this drunk girl and plotted his revenge. 

At 3:30am, when he woke for work, Piz started a series of calls to the drunk girls number, incessantly calling her every 15 minutes (just as she did to him) throughout his early morning shift. Finally she cracked, crying on the phone, asking why he was doing this to her. Well, quite frankly, it sounds like the drunk girl completely deserved that punishment and will maybe think twice the next time she tries to harass someone. 

'Her face go[es] to shock as she realized she just did all of that in front of a police officer': Rude Karen dismisses construction workers, proceeds to ruin her own life in one afternoon


One Karen ruined her life in a spectacularly fast fashion after getting into a squabble with a construction crew who was just trying to keep a parking spot open. Lots of Karens mess around and find out, but this entitled mom was especially punished for her deeds!

As the OP u/BBQLunch, wrote in a classic r/ProRevenge post, they work as a foreman on construction projects, and were working on a rather difficult project on the day of the incident. As they were trying to block off the street so that they could carry materials up a hill, this woman decided to park right where they were working. Since the site was near the local elementary school, she kept insisting that she'd only be parked for a few minutes. Uhh, that's not how reserved parking spaces work! So the OP called the police on this mad woman, and truly spectacular amounts of chaos reigned. 

After scrolling through this timeless Karen classic, read about this person's petty revenge plan for their group project full of slackers.

'Celebrity Worship' and 20+ Other Unhealthy Obsessions That Are Too Real


Social media, celebrities, pop culture, oh my! In today's digital landscape, it's pretty easy to form an unhealthy obsession with something! Keep scrolling below for this collection of hot takes about our culture's current unhealthy obsessions. When you're finished, here are some top mildly infuriating moments!

‘I’m Just Like You, You're Just Like Me...’ : 23 MEIRL That Define the Real ‘Us’ of the Week


The title is pretty self-explanatory, but nevertheless, I shall illustrate the meaning of MEIRL - 'Me in real life'. In other words, these memes are basically us, our personalities, psyche, identity, character, and our SELF-HOOD. These memes represent the inner workings of our beings… Am I being dramatic? Yes, yes I am. 

I dunno about you, but sometimes all I want to do while scrolling mindlessly on the WWW is to get lost in the tornado we call the internet, or more specifically, in the r/MEIRL sub on Reddit. Truth is, the memes are fairly accurate. Said scrolling always ends up with me finding questionable yet entertaining content — that I then share with you.

These memes are an attempt at portraying our individuality, or rather, the common ground we all stand on. Ah, the humor of the internet, so fun, so fresh, most of the time. Scroll down to check out the most hilarious MEIRL memes found in the r/MEIRL subreddit this week. You're also welcome to check out these funny coworker memes while you're at it.

'This is extremely inappropriate': Manager's stupid trauma-sharing "icebreaker" generates some unexpected results, leaves internet bewildered


Some things aren't meant to be discussed in a professional workplace setting, as any discussion around them could be found to be offensive or off-putting. Conversing on topics like politics, religion, sex, and drugs (along with any other highly personal, private, or polarizing discussions) is a surefire way to get yourself acquainted with your company's HR—who may not be all that happy about all the extra paperwork you've caused them.

No… some topics—like sharing your worst trauma, are better saved for close friends, family, support groups, and therapy sessions—and do not make for a fun and light conversational starter to get to know your coworkers.

That's why the internet was so shocked and bewildered at this workplace icebreaker where the manager insisted that each member of the team share "something difficult" from their childhoods. It's easy to forget that not everyone shares the same experiences… and that some people have had to overcome some truly horrible things from their past. Couple this with the fact that some of us are completely unable to make things up on the spot and don't even need the invitation to overshare in the first place… and you have a recipe for an HR disaster. 

One of the team members who partook in this icebreaker shared their experience with Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, to the horror of readers who quickly condemned the boss who thought that this was a good idea in the first place.

'I got stuck with possibly the worst 3 people to be in a [group] project': One student's tire-less pursuit of petty revenge


No one likes group projects, especially not the person pulling the weight of the entire presentation. One unfortunate Redditor, u/grapeicecreamfloat, got stuck in that situation, but luckily they were able to enact some satisfying petty revenge! 

As they shared to r/pettyrevenge, this student got stuck with slackers in a project that was a big percentage of the overall grade. The OP ended up doing so much of the work, and the professor wouldn't help the OP improve the group's dynamic, saying they were adults who had to work this out by themselves. After being ignored over and over again, the OP decided to "accidentally" miss the presentation. It must have been so satisfying to give the slackers a taste of their own medicine! 

Next up, this stay at home dad got in a huge fight with his wife over cleaning duties – so he asked r/AmItheA****** if his wife was crazy. 

'Imagine she said no after that': Ironman finisher collapses with leg cramps while proposing to his girlfriend right after a grueling race


Everyone wants to make their marriage proposal special. One triathlete and Ironman finisher definitely went the extra mile for his marriage proposal – 140 miles to be precise – and it unintentionally backfired, leaving the Internet in a tizzy of debate. This man completed an entire Ironman competition, which consists of a 2.4 mile swim then a 112 mile bike ride followed by a full marathon, while carrying an engagement ring with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend when she greeted him at the finish line. The idea is cute, if you're into that, but the whole plan went south when the athlete got down on one knee to pop the question. His legs seized up in the most insane cramp of all time and he collapsed in a heap at her feet, writhing in pain instead of with happiness. He grimaced and pushed through as trainers helped ease the cramp and he held the ring up towards her from a laying position, grimacing the whole time.

The comment section went off with debate; Some people thought it was adorable that he persevered to propose to her anyways while others considered it self centered of him to make the whole experience all about him. On one hand, he had the audacity to carry along an engagement ring with him on this ridiculous Ironman journey and also had the tenacity to push through the world's worst cramping to propose anyways. But others argued that he made the proposal all about himself and turned the attention to his accomplishments. Was this a romantic moment captured on video? Or is this an epic marriage proposal fail? What do you think?

'Karen was still joyriding in our rental car': Valet gave rental car to wrong guest, she drives it around for 2 hours before the police get involved


Crazy Karen went for a joyride and then freaked out when the police were called. Well, honey, it makes sense that people called the police on you because you literally kept saying you were only a few minutes away while a full two hours had passed. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/iluvbewbies, who shared the entire play-by-play after discovering that the valet attendant at their hotel had mistakenly swapped their rental car for Karen's.

 

First of all, let's get it out of the way that Karen was not only entitled, but also she was stupid. Their models may have been similar, but it was clearly not her car. Second of all, the fact that she went on to run errands after being notified that she was driving the wrong car says a lot about where her priorities lie (hint hint: herself). On top of that, she left an apple core in the rental car. Filthy!

 

Keep scrolling below for the full anecdote. For more, here's a story about another Karen's car drama.

'We got an online order for... almost 500 tortillas': 30 Chefs share the hilarity going on behind the scenes in restaurant kitchens


From funny customer meal requests to the list of unacceptable kitchen music, these chefs are sharing the wackiest antics going on in the back of house. On the subreddit r/KitchenConfidential, chefs, dish washers, and other back of house restaurant workers gather to share memes and talk about their workplaces. We've gathered some of the funniest and most popular posts so you can get a peek into the daily life of a chef. 

My favorite of these memes and photos is the guy who ordered 150 pounds of fish, and got…one LARGE fish! These kinds of miscommunication must happen all the time, but perhaps not quite with a fish that giant. 

Next up, at this restaurant, a grumpy dude tried to roast the waiter for serving him scallops with a fragment of a fish scale on it, only to have the entire restaurant turn against him and support the waiter.

20+ Coworker Memes for Understaffed Teams of Employees With One Foot Out the Door


Each workplace comes with its own unique issues, especially nowadays. You might find yourself to be a part of an understaffed team, with an awful boss, in a toxic environment… the possibilities are endless. You work and work and work… and your bank account stays on the same number. Proper compensation for said work? In your dreams.

It's frustrating to deal with such negativity on a daily basis, and the one thing that makes it better (aside from memes) is your coworkers. Well, some of them at least.  The others can hop on a train to wherever isn't here. We all have that one person at work who whines all day about how much they work, yet are ironically never seen actually working. 

Scroll down for some of the best memes I've scoured the internet for, that'll have you relating hard (and perhaps wanting to quit even more). You're also welcome to check out this story of petty revenge — a woman found out via office gossip that she was going to be replaced by someone else from a different department. Awkward much?

'Moms are a different breed when it comes to getting tattooed': Tattoo artist shares epic story proving moms handle pain better than any tatted up tough guy


If you have never gotten a tattoo before and somebody tells you something like, "oh it doesn't hurt on your thigh" or "oh it huts more on the ribs than it does your feet"—that's BS. First of all, it is different for everybody so no one place is going to hurt less than the other. Also, yes, of course it is going to hurt, you're getting jabbed with a needle a million times over and over again. How you handle pain is what matters. Tough dude "alpha male" wannabes are always acting like they can handle anything because they were in one fight when they were blackout drunk in college. But get them under the tattoo machine and the are squirming and crying like little babies. You know what type of person can usually handle pain better than any other? MOTHERS. Giving birth has been related to going to war in past cultures, it is THAT painful and traumatizing. After you go through that, you can handle a little one-two-jab under the epidermis. 

One tattoo artist took to her social media to share one of her favorite tattooing experiences. She said she had a group of early to mid 20 something girls come in to get matching Playboy bunny tattoos on their butts. The tattoo artist says she loves tattoo girlfriend groups because she basically becomes one of the girls while she works and it's always a nice fun time. All of the girls had precious tattoos except for the youngest. She was so afraid to ago the entire time and her friends basically just kept telling her to stop complaining. The tattoo artist was kind of feeling sorry for the youngest because nobody was validating her fear of getting her first tattoo, until on of the girl's friends told her she will be fine because she literally just have birth without an epidural a few months ago. When the tattoo artist heard that she knew it was going to be a breeze because moms handle pain the best out of all of her clients.

'He immediately asks me when I’m going to do laundry since he’s very nervous': Woman screws up BF's important interview on purpose


This guy prepped for an interview for weeks, but it still didn't go perfectly!

Interview prep involves a few things: printing out a few copies of your resume, mapping out how to get to the job site, and preparing your interview clothes so you make a great first impression. This woman shared her frustrating experience with her job-searching boyfriend, who didn't quite get around to the clothing step of preparation. Instead, he tried to get his lucky blazer cleaned on a regular laundry day by his student GF, who routinely handles that chore. He didn't give her much warning though, and she ended up sleeping through the time period she could have laundered the blazer. The BF was mad, and has threatened to move back with his parents. 

Commenters urged the GF to leave this man-child, but others claimed this was an ESH situation. After all, if the GF didn't think she could handle the blazer laundering before the deadline, she should have said so. But also, the BF is seemingly not pulling his weight while unemployed, and letting his busy GF handle even these time sensitive errands. Commenters agreed that she should dump him ASAP. 

Next, this person asked if she's a Karen for mulling over this random moment at Disney — and people assured her she is! 

'The entire class is fed up': Veterinary students take a stand against their tyrannical teacher's unreasonable demands


The illusion that all teachers are benevolent beings—there to teach you the shining light of their ways and the depths of their infinite knowledge—is shattered when you reach higher education. There you become faced with the reality that is a world of disgruntled, entitled adults with domineering attitudes who are determined to pass on—with unfettered rage—the types of institutional wrongdoings that were done to them. 

It's the type of attitude you face time and time again as a young adult: "I had to deal with it, and now so do you," an ageist ritual of ensuring that no young upstart usurps the natural order by stepping on their neck quickly—and as often as possible. It doesn't matter what novel ideas you have to share or personal experience and skills you have to offer—the institution requires that you face this time and time again until you relent to your place in the world.

There's often little, or nothing, that you can do to remedy this course… unless your entire class decides they aren't putting up with it any longer, as these students did when faced with the autocratic culture of their veterinary school.

Wholesome Children's ICU Nurse With a Hardcore Mohawk Draws New Designs in His Hair Everyday to Entertain His Kiddo Patients


Critical care units at the hospital can be a bleak place, but one post-punk ICU nurse has one way to keep everyone smiling: his elaborate mohawk. Some people were just born to bring color into the world and Zach is no exception, expressing himself every day at work with the mega-fin on his head and colorful bursting designs. At the beginning of the pandemic, Zach struggled to find ways to keep his own kids at home entertained so to pass the time (and have some fun_, he shaved his head into a 6" mohawk, glued it upwards into the classic fan-shape, and let his sons go nuts on it with stencils and paint. This crafty home project turned into something much more wholesome and meaningful when Zach started wearing his wacky hair designs to work. He found that he could entertain the kiddos in the ICU at his children's hospital, bringing laughter into every hospital room he walked into.

u/mohawknurse

Every day Zach would walk in to check on his ailing patients sporting a new mohawk design, bringing smiles to everyone's faces with colorful drawings of whales, flowers, bears, sunsets, holiday themes, cartoons, and sports team logos. Zach has gotten infinitely more creative as time has gone on and even shocks his coworkers with new stencils and colors on a regular basis. Sometimes, a nurse like Zach is all you need when you're tired, sick, and healing in a hospital bed. 

'Call the cops? If you insist': Guy makes a scene at the reception of job interview, leaves in handcuffs


I think it's safe to assume here that this guy did not, in fact, get the job… but—hey, job interviews are stressful experiences, and each of us handles that stress in different ways. I, personally, make it through a job interview by completely blacking out from the stress and dissociating from my body; I couldn't tell you what happens in the time that follows, what I say or do—or even who I become is completely unknown to me. 

Now, I wouldn't recommend this strategy for coping with interview stress. Still, it is probably superior to shouting down the receptionist of the place you're interviewing because they asked you for simple identification. It's safe to say that if this is how you react to a simple request, you will be an absolute nightmare to work with.

'You lied and intentionally misled me in these texts': Job-seeker fires off angry message to recruiter who enrolled them in bizarre interview


This job-seeker was offered a job interview — so how did they end up in a webinar with hundreds of other people? 

U/LivingStCelestine thought everything was going well as they talked to a recruiter about a job listing. The OP requested a virtual time slot to meet with this person about a management job, and it seemed like they were set up for a 6PM interview. However, when they turned up in the Zoom meeting, they got a terrible surprise. 

It's so unfortunate the lengths companies would go through to scam someone, and it's especially cruel when the person is out of work! I don't know who they thought they were fooling. What did they expect to happen when dozens of people all showed up to the same interview? It's truly baffling, and they deserve the angry text that the OP sent them. 

Next, check out this story of a toxic guy who just can't let go of his high school years, and it's poisoning his relationships with everyone around him. 

'I don't know if I have a wife anymore': Guy embarrasses new wife so badly at wedding that she won't even answering his messages anymore


How badly can you mess up at your own wedding? This unfortunate dummy found out real quick. 

This 31 year old OP and his 29 year old spouse decided to tie the knot, and of course that comes with lots of decision making. This misogynistic OP wrote that while he thought up a hilarious joke for his wedding, his fiancé was taking care of the serious stuff. He'd seen one of his buddies write "Help me!" on the bottom of his wedding shoes in the style of "Toy Story," and as the OP recounts, that was a huge hit with the wedding crowd. 

Working together with his brother, the OP decided to introduce this "joke" into his own wedding, and it sounds unbearably cringey for every single person involved. Girl, leave him, and OP, just read the comments to find out what you did wrong. As one person wrote, "Always make sure both spouses are in on the joke." 

After you scroll through the details of this giant red flag of a wedding, check out this guy whose friends have really terrible dining etiquette.

'He is only worthy of love when he's fit and attractive': Narcissistic mean girl makes fun of her formerly overweight friend, jealously belittling him in public


Mean girls will always be the mean girl. It's as if they have a toxic cloud of rude energy that surrounds them and compels them to be complete jerks to the people around them, manipulating people's insecurities and using deep trauma and feeble attention seeking tactics to control the people around them. One super extra mean girl, u/blueisnotcreative, is the worst kind of mean girl– the kind that plays innocent and pretends to be everyone's friend. Yuck. 

Recently, Blue posted on AITA, asking if she was the one being a jerk in a situation that is so beyond cringe that it's mystifying how she didn't catch onto her not-so-hidden meanness. She explains a story about how a male friend of hers (James) used to be pretty overweight and decided to make a lifestyle change that resulted in him becoming physically fit and apparently very attractive, which is great for him! However, Blue couldn't stand the idea of having her clingy DUFF turned into the hot piece at every social gathering so she had to nock him down a notch because she is a total narcissist. 

At a party, a tipsy cute girl approached James and started acting flirty with him, but realized soon after that Blue was standing and staring at her with a snarky look on her face. The tipsy girl asked if the two of them were together, a respectful thing to do considering she was trying to make a move on the man), and Blue became the biggest jerk and let her inner mean girl fly loose. 

Blue laughed and joked that the tipsy girl would never have dreamed of asking them that a year ago when James was still fat.

The fat-shaming mean girl basically implied that her friend, someone she apparently cared about, wasn't worthy of being loved or dated before he was considerably more in shape, hot, and attractive. Naturally, Redddit destroyed Blue in the comments, claiming that she was a huge AH and was extremely toxic for James, especially now that he is turning his life around. It really doesn't pay to be a huge jerk in situations, especially when it means steamrolling your friends for an ounce of attention towards yourself. Conceited, rude, and clearly jealous.

'It's getting really weird': Church employee resigns, relentless pastor keeps sending them work


Some bosses need to learn to take no for an answer! We have come to expect this kind of retaliation and toxic behavior from a boss in the service industry or in the corporate world, as we have seen time and time again on this site. But have we seen a situation when the toxic boss in question is both a pastor and a therapist? I guess there's a first time for everything.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/brokenpa, and let's just say that she needs to ex-communicate herself from this pastor. The fact that he is still sending her work and also turning others in the church against her is wildly manipulative. Folks in the comments section got pretty clever with their religious puns. Keep scrolling below to see the advice they gave to the Redditor. For more stories like this, check out this post about a woman who quit after just one week on the job. 

'Did You Block Me?' : 20 Funniest Dating App Fails of the Week for the Tired Crowd Spending Valentine's Day Alone


Well, if it isn't Valentine's day, showing up for its annual visit. At least it's consistent, unlike the people who occupy dating apps as of late. To be fair, we're all grown up enough to know that Valentine's day isn't about love at all — it's about revenue. So if you're feeling a bit down as you pass by all those stupid teddy bears with carved hearts in their chests lined up neatly in the candy section at the supermarket, remind yourself that half of the dude/ttes receiving them lowkey hate their partner.

Do I sound bitter? Nah, I love Valentine's day. Granted, I spend it playing video games and eating ice cream out of the bucket, but I think it's better than uploading gross stories to Instagram, proclaiming my love for my nonexistent partner because everyone just has to know. That's the real deal, right? Happiness comes from flaunting your relationship on social media.

Speaking of social media… well, of sorts… dating apps. Scroll down for the funniest fails I've compiled this week. You can also check out last week's here.

‘You Better Come In to Work!’ : Entitled Nepo-Baby Boss Attempts to Force Employee to Work on PTO and Paternity Leave, Leading To Calculated Malicious Compliance That Even the Boss's Dad Couldn’t Get Him Out Of


When you're an entitled 22-year-old 'Nepo-Baby' manager, it's likely you won't know what the significance of having a kid is. This boss in particular really had it out for his employee who was having a baby, as he continuously denied him PTO, for the entirety of September, when the employee's wife was due to give birth. The employee in question was fed up, and decided to maliciously comply, sending in a request for PTO and paternity leave in October — which was approved by the night manager, and the scheduling manager — just not THAT manager.

October rolled around, and the employee's boss pulled a Pikachu face, shocked at how his employee would dare take so much time off to be with his newborn kid and his recovering wife. I mean, how dare he want to take care of his family? Unbelievable. His boss didn't take it well, and decided to harass the employee to no end, leaving no choice but for the employee to maliciously comply even more.

Scroll down to read the detailed event that led to the boss being promptly dismissed (Yep, even his father couldn't get him out of this one). For more, check out this cosplayer who took it upon himself to get some petty revenge on someone who publicly humiliated him on an online Fandom.

'You need to find new dinner companions': Dude questions if their friends should be angry at them for walking out on a meal


This dude ducked out of a dinner party early, making his friends absolutely furious. 

Some people will always take advantage of your generosity! In this post to r/AmItheA******, u/OldAbbreviations6423 had a pressing question regarding his current friend group. The OP is in the awkward position of being one of the higher earners in their friend group, so they've kindly covered tips in the past while the group was out dining. But the OP noticed an interesting pattern of their friends over ordering since the OP is covering some of the cost. They asked for advice on what to do about friends who don't want to pay their share. 

Who among us hasn't made an Irish exit? I get it, but I do agree with commenters who said the OP should have been more direct with their friends about who was going to pay before they left, even if it was a quick mention. We hope the OP finds friends who are a bit less greedy!

After you scroll through this person's precarious dining dilemma, check out these 25 witty pranks that are both harmless and super funny.

Relatable Work Memes for Employees With a Permanent Case of the Mondays


If you just clocked in 30 minutes ago and you're already checking your watch to see how close you are to going home, you might be suffering from a semi-permanent case of the Mondays. It's that feeling when you hate everyone and everything at your job and you can't possibly imagine another second of suffering, but you need money, so here we are. Your inner monologue alternates between the dark, sinister voice in your head that insults everyone, to your outer "customer service" voice when you greet people saying, "Hello, how may I help you?" All you can do is hope that customers don't complain when you roll your eyes or give them a sideways glance. It's not entirely their fault that you're grouchy… Oh wait, it is.
