Customer Gets Mad Over Extra Time, So They End Up Getting Less


What a satisfying tale of petty revenge. We love nothing more than coming across a boss who is actually ready to back their employee.

But in this case, finally, we have a boss actually backing their employee. Let's make this the new trend, world. 

Librarian Humor That Looks Way Different With No Glasses


We should all probably spend more time reading books about philosophy and history, and less time reading the Facebook ramblings of our most insane family members but hey, there's a time and a place for everything, right? So here's some fun library humor. For something bordering on educational, here are some history memes and a twitter thread on how the Appalachian mountains are older than most things.

IT Memes For The People Really Holding Up Society As We Know It


It doesn't take a bunch of tech support stories or tech support gore to realize that IT people are the backbone of our society. Heck, all it takes getting locked out of your machine on a busy workday to realize that the tech support people are titans among men. Or, more specifically, Atlas holding up the heavens on their backs.

Most Corrupt Things Employees Have Witnessed Their Bosses Do


This fun AskReddit thread has employees disclosing the most corrupt things that they've ever witnessed their bosses do. The reality is that there are far too many people that are employed and put in positions of power within companies, that really never should've been put in their positions in the first place. Maybe this AskReddit thread will serve to make you feel a bit better about the times that you had to put up with a wildly delusional, downright maniacal boss during your career. To keep the boss drama train rolling check out this recent post about an unreasonable boss who threatened a deli guy's job, so he basically just said "okay."

Slumlord Won't Let Company Out Of 5 Year Lease, Gets Just Deserts


There are far too many slumlords and greedy landlords in this world that try to pull fast ones on completely well intentioned tenants. In this case though, the company that wasn't being let out of their five year lease managed to pull a swift and highly effective pro revenge on a slumlord who quite honestly needed to get their just deserts at one point or another.

Bridesmaid Gets Kicked Out Of Wedding For Cutting Hair, Sues Bride


Weddings undoubtedly have an uncanny knack for bringing out the very worst in people.

However, in this case, it sounds like the bridesmaid who was kicked out of the wedding by the bride after getting her very pricey haircut, had her understandable reasons. If you enjoyed this AITA drama, check out some more wedding drama with this bit about a groom's brother who called the fiancée a gold digger, and then proceeded to get kicked out of the wedding.

Management Demands Doctor's Note From Sick Employee, Malicious Compliance Ensues


Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like having to deal with a manager who is so lost in their own power trip that they can't be troubled to express a generally acceptable level of human empathy. It sounds like "By The Book Bob" was managing in such a style that it was only a matter of time before he got put in check with some sweet, malicious compliance. If this story got you going, keep feeding that malicious compliance fix with this post about a belligerent neighbor damaging a family's car, refusing to own up, and then having the whole thing backfire terribly.

Employee Gives Two Weeks Notice, Hotshot Manager Tries To Fire Employee, Gets Demoted


Power can certainly get to some people's heads more than others.

Well, let's just say that after the employee they kept trying to fire had had enough, they got their rightful comeuppance.

Weddings are supposed to be about love and commitment, but man do they tend to bring out the worst in people.

Signs Kids Are Dumber Than Bushels of Hammers


One doesn't have to search long to find stupid proof that kids are almost a different species. It's honestly surprising that they don't get their heads stuck in more buckets than they already do. If anyone was thinking about having kids, just take a gander some of these moments of kids being stupid and weird to really drive home the facts of what it is you're in for.

Creative Tumblr Post About The Monster That Lives Under The Bed


There are plenty of kids out there that grow up, letting their rampant imaginations get the best of them.

Karen Gets Evicted, Lies About Her Eviction, Landlord Uses Old Lease To Win In Court

For some more Karen drama check out this story about a Karen customer ordering an extra sauced pizza, pitching a fit over it, and then basically just getting some pizza soup.

Twitter Thread: Notes On Customers Not Being Right


In a situation where you actually have control over who you're doing business with, and can afford to not deal with someone's petty BS, it's pretty awesome to just say "no." This twitter thread talks about the idea of boundaries in client relationships. Most notably, not being bullied by the jackass who payed you to do something you're great at and thinks they can micromanage everything you do before being displeased, like this lowballer who didn't want to pay, and the artist wasn't having it. Here are some more work horror stories.

People's Most Champion Farting Moments


Horrible farting. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Hot, fetid, and not as refreshing as Summer's Eve. Some people don't find farts funny. Those people lack humanity, and are sociopaths at best. Maybe it's because sociopaths have a poor sense of smell? People have notable gaseous productions, be they times they tricked a boss into thinking the fridge was out, silenced an argument or made a dog gag. For some more vileness, here's the story of a news cameraman who got food poisoning at an old folks home and ended up filming more than he bargained for as well as the musings of sewage tank trucks.

People's Worst Job Interview Fails


Anyone's nerves can quickly get the best of them. At a moment's notice your brain might decide to throw you into a completely disorienting panic where you find yourself uncontrollably shaking, sweating profusely, and blabbering like a newborn baby. The hope is that such a state doesn't come for someone when they're in the middle of an otherwise smooth job interview. But hey. Life's a game of ups and downs. Can't have one without the other. Can't have those momentary wins without the fails. Maybe these people's job interview fails will make you feel better about any of your own. 

Inspirational Tumblr Thread On Embracing The Lazy Life


With a deepening dependency on technology can come an even more rampant usage of social media and other apps on our phones. All of this screen time can end up contributing toward quite the stressful emotional rollercoaster of just trying to make it in this life from a relatively peaceful and centered place. The value of slowing down amidst the chase for that next paycheck can't be expressed enough. Not only that, but it sounds like it's a collective biological inclination to not feel the need to grind all the time. A little laziness here and there should be encouraged, not condemned. For another entertaining read from Tumblr check out the time that an employee took a petty revenge on a raging Karen.

Process Servers' Most Bizarre Scenarios Serving People


The process servers in this world deserve way more recognition than they get for having to be on the frontlines of some truly bizarre behavior from a wild bunch of human beings. This is just the kind of thread that will either swiftly convince people that were considering careers as process servers to abandon that idea, or to just double down on the whole thing. You'd certainly be guaranteed to have your fair share of unforgettable days on the job. 

Lowballer Won't Pay For Completed Work, Artist Isn't Having It


It shouldn't be that hard for this lowballerto understand. If you tell someone that you're gonna pay them to do a thing and then they do that thing, and then you don't pay them, they don't have to give you access to that thing. It's the same reason miffed contractors make the news every few months for taking their backhoes to some sketchy client's newly completed storefront. For another wild encounter with a sketchy business, here's a sketchy business that got called out, then tried to accuse a freelancer of being a shyster.

Man Conquers Bus Driver's Chaotic Evil


Public transportation can try one's soul like none other. Whether you're caught up in a regular work commute where you're forced to take the subway, and share a tightly packed space with a cast that's composed of equal parts frustrated, miserable, and downright insane individuals; or maybe you take the bus. The thing about the bus in particular is it can end up being a terribly frustrating game where you find yourself chasing a bus down one day, after the driver filled your heart with hope only to stomp that right out. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr thread about eating good meals at crime fronts.

Walmart Manager Fires Guy From Job That Isn't His


What happens when someone who isn't your boss fires you from a job you don't have? Well, this.

30 Brilliant Marriage Tweets That We Can All Agree With


There's nothing more brilliant than sharing your entire personal life in close proximity to the same person. Day in and day out they are always there just... observing your strange existence. 

You might be thinking "Sheesh guy, someone treated you wrong." but I really do mean that in the best way you could possibly interpret it. There's a certain magical charm in knowing that there is someone out there, RIGHT there, who knows certain aspects of you better than you know yourself.


So here's to our 'better halfs'; For the good and the weird. 

Sign Jokes For Those Who Prefer Their Puns Large and In Public


Why do we like funny signs? Maybe seeing something in big letters just makes it nicer?

For some scatological service signs, here are some musings on sewage trucks.

20 Classic Driving FAILs Brought to You By People Who Shouldn't Be Driving


There are certain people in this world that just should not be behind the wheel of a car. There's nothing more terrifying than one of these individuals being in control of a 2 ton hunk of steel that is being propelled by thousands of small explosions every minute.

These people must have been inspired by Miley Cyrus because they ahem came in like a wrecking ball.

How's that for a timely reference? Nothing cooler than calling back to a 7 year old song lyric.

Anywho - There's nothing quite as sweet as a classic collection of FAILs so drink up and relish. 

Company Plugs Every Ethernet Cable Into Router At Random, Distress Calls Tech Support


People that have the daunting audacity to tamper with complicated systems that they absolutely don't understand can end up creating some literal waking nightmares for tech support. I mean, you've got to wonder with terrified fascination what was going through these people's heads when they went ahead and unplugged all of those ethernet cables without noting where they would then need to be properly plugged back in. Really, the only outcome seemed like it was going to be a panicked call out to tech support. If this tech support tale got you going, check out another tech support tale where the customer didn't realize that files needed to be double clicked to be opened.

14 Things That We Were Cautioned About As Kids That Were Over Exaggerated


When you're a kid there's mystical world out there, all build on the perspectives and expectations that the people around you have built for you. Your wild imagination takes the threats of which adults (or siblings) have made mention and wildly exaggerates their threat levels. You never know, you might encounter a whirlpool walking to school one day.

Now, I'm turning 29 in a month and I've never even seen a whirlpool or encountered quicksand - but safe to say that I have been ready for those threats for a quarter of a century should they ever reveal their threatening visage.


When I was about 5 years old my sister convinced me that a "Tongue Monster" lived in our basement. This beast of a creature was a giant of sorts who was said to have had tongues covering his entire body. I was horrified that I might encounter this scoundrel and stayed clear of the basement for months, and kept a weary eye out for this fleshy Lovecraftian horror for even longer than that.

Looking back, I'm not certain what was so threatening about the guy, there was never any threat - perceived or otherwise - that I was going to be licked to death should I venture into the basement alone. For all I knew, we might have gotten along famously. I am certain that he must have had exceptional taste.

It's been a long time since the Tongue Monster was at the top of my list of fears and risks and I do hope that he has manage to sustain stable employment and make a living off of his unique talents. I like to imagine that he might be a food critic somewhere (aren't all critics monsters of sorts?) or has otherwise managed to take on a new form and has attained international success as a famous chef.

Instead of wasting energy on my Tongue Monster, whirlpools or quicksand it would have been nice if someone could have instead warned me of dangers that are more pertinent to me now. Like 'Quickdraw Danny the Dastardly Debt Doppler' or 'Tricky Theodore the Traveling Tax Taker'.

I feel like there might have been real lessons to learn from those.


Customer Service Memes To Dull The Grind


Anyone who has worked customer service has seen some of the more entitled, ugly sides of humanity. For example, this time a customer was furious for not being seated at closing time or these unfortunate times people went full Karen. Having to work in a professional setting that depends on you being nice to people who wish they could melt you with their eyes is a singular experience, and it's something that only those who've worked customer service can really fully understand.

Nightmare Neighbor Tries to Claim Guy's Driveway and Screws Himself Out of His Own


There is absolutely nothing worse than being stuck living next to an infernally terrible neighbor. The kind of person who intentionally goes out of the way to make life a living misery for themselves and everyone around them. They can take a great neighborhood and disintegrate it within a exceptionally short period of time.

It's always satisfying to see the scorched earth approach backfire spectacularly as it did here for poor ol' Mike...  


To add to the entertainment, a bunch of readers had their own experiences with this particular topic and oh man are there some good ones.

Belligerent Neighbor Damages Family's Car, Refuses To Own Up, Backfires Terribly


Unfortunately, far too many of us can find ourselves in the miserable predicament that is realizing we've moved into neighborhoods that are weighed down by the presence of profoundly difficult individuals. It sounds like this guy was never going to be able to be reasoned with. Honestly, one would just hope that he finally got the wakeup call that he so sorely needed by having the cops show up to press the charges that they did on him. Time to clean up your act, bud. For another sweet malicious compliance story, check out the time that a salty old man pitched a whole fit over some salty licorice.

Witty Flight Attendant Delivers Sweet Justice and Gives Entitled Jerk Exactly What He Asked For


It's never a good idea to get on the wrong side of a service worker... Especially in a situation where they hold immense power over your experience.

We've all probably been in a situation like this where we have to put up with people acting the fool in public and it's frustrating when you can't do anything about it. Even more so when you are the service worker and have to keep wearing that smile since "The customer is always right." 

Well this entitled individual was more right than he knew and certainly more right than he wished that he was. Props to the flight attendant in this situation for delivering that sweet taste of subtle justice.

It's always satisfying to see this pulled off well.
