Man, this one really sucks for the kids. It's hard when it's the adults causing all the issues and the kids suffer from the adults failed relationships with each other. Especially when whatever differences that emerge are being handled in extremely toxic ways.
Going to go with NTA here although it's a shame they all can't get along.
Not only does this boss go out of their way to try and punish a productive employee for sitting at a stool with a broken foot, they go on to try and play off their mistake by calling their worker disrespectful. Is it so surprising that this boss might have some upcoming staffing issues? After that the floor kind of broke open on Twitter for people to tell similar tales of unreasonable bosses. For some more wild work stories, here are the weirdest things people got in trouble for at work.
We live in a big world full of all kinds of people. And when you get people in remote parts of the world, they start to use language in an extremely localized way, to the point that accents can vary from town to town. It's almost like watching an evolutionary tree as it branches off and bends itself into new forms. And what we see here is the English-language version of a Platypus.
We all get a kick out of reading poorly worded scam emails claiming that there are "funs waiting in our accont, to be delivered on receaipt of deposit" but honestly they've never been given the funk treatment they deserve. Thanks to Jazz Emu, that previously unknown need has been satisfied to its utmost extent.
Every story has a good ending. Even if it's not always a happy one.
Fortunately this one ticks both boxes and everyone lives happily ever after as they fly away off into sky in a magical red car. While "You're the One That I Want" sounds joyfully in the distant background.
This heart warming tale goes to show that not ever family conflict has to end in years of estrangement and that it is possible to find common ground. And that's a great realization to have.
For some reason, being a customer brings out the worst in people. It makes them think that it's a good idea to destroy property, come up with stupid excuses to not tip, and sit on the chicken. Sometimes it's utter obliviousness while other times it's very real malicious intent. But the reason doesn't matter, it all still ends up with customer service having to clean up the messes. For some frustrating yet satisfying examples of entitlement backfiring, here are some shameless cheapskates who were their own worst enemies.
It's not fun to have a power-tripping boss, but when that boss begins to trip over their own power? That feels better than sinking into a hot bubble bath after digging a hole in the rain. This CEO had every opportunity to not be as irrational as they were, but she just couldn't do it. So in the end, she suffered the wrath of Louise.
When it comes to being an 87-year-old grandma walking down the street wearing an absurd shirt that says "haters gonna hate" or "fart queen" the thing we have to remember is that shame probably isn't a word that's in her vocabulary. There's something kind of beautiful in the ability to wear literally whatever you want and completely not care what anyone thinks about it. That said, people choose to wear some pretty bold things. For the fashion police out there, here's some questionable clothing and fashion failures.
There's a tradition in the U.S. navy that no submarine is lost at sea, and every Christmas a broadcast is sent out to all the crews of those subs still on duty. Tumblr found out about it, so naturally they had something to make of it. Give Tumblr an interesting bit of info about the Navy and they'll turn it into an excellently macabre but also sort of heartwarming pitch for "Ghost Boats 2: The Reghostening."
As millennials start to take over the work force, it's our time to realize why everyone older than us was always so constantly tired. How old are the millennials now? Something like 30 but sometimes hitting 40. What do we do abut back pain? Not sure yet. Some say vacation helps, but we'll never know what that is. Here are more millennial memes for those kids hovering around 30.
Anyone who has ever punched a time clock has had to deal with that pesky amount of time in between when you're physically at work and when that work technically starts. And depending on the place, that time is treated differently. When it comes to being so late that you're inconveniencing your coworkers, that's not exactly fair to them. But at the same time, being at work and not getting paid totally blows. The internet weighed in on the issue of the whole "starting your job exactly when it starts" thing, and depending on the expectations surrounding it, the answers varied.
As the saying goes, "it's not stupid if it works." There should be a small addendum to this adage, maybe something like "it's not stupid if it works and also it looks like it could start a fire at any second." These questionable fixes and modifications all required ingenuity, but some more than others might require a fire extinguisher pretty soon too.
It's unusual to get these kinds of heebie jeebies when looking at a mammal, but this isn't any normal mammal. Tumblr takes a look at the weird, cold-blooded, cave-dwelling, forward eyed goat that looks like the kind of thing you would never tell about your parties. It's as if this is the reason that some goats scream.
Granted there aren't any "smart" ways to accidentally slip and fall into a vat acid, here are some extremely avoidable and terribly absurd situations people escaped with their lives. In summary, don't fall asleep while driving, make sure electronic devices are unpluggled while taking them apart, and for god's sake look both ways before crossing the street. Here are some life-ruining bullets people dodged as well as various things that can be surprisingly dangerous.
Tumblr is a tangled web of thoughts and observations. As we weave these webs of information into tapestries of meaning, we realize just how much time people are willing to take to express the most inconsequential, silly, and dumb thoughts on the internet. But they aren't without their own weight. And there's something beautiful in that. Plus lots of cat pictures. For some more tumblr thoughts, here are random and ridiculous tumblr gems to fight the clawing boredom.
It's kind of weird how we're shaped by the inconveniences of our time. Having the Simpsons be interrupted by the State of the Union and never getting to find out the ending, having to wait to tell your friends about things, and having to have a conversation to figure out everyone's best guess as to what year Die Hard came out. Now that all this crap is behind us, we can focus on the upsetting ways people found out they weren't young anymore.
Does taking things extremely literally make us seem smart? Maybe in the right company. Some people can't handle the technical truth. They say it's "confusing" and "the dumbest thing they've ever seen." What they fail to understand is that it takes the right kind of dumb to seem clever. Most of us can enjoy highly literal moments of technical accuracy.
We're fully aware that some animals are better at yelling than others. Many goats and a select number of huskies can really belt out a good man-like yell. But it's those aquatic mammals like seals and walruses that have the bass tones to do a good scream. In this case, we have a seal who sounds strikingly similar to Tom Hanks doing what he does best: yelling in a way that sounds like he's not being completely serious, but also definitely freaking out.
The creative mastery of eli_handle_b․wav made this beautiful achievement possible. We would gladly pay a million bajillion fafillion dollars to see Austin Powers popping around the galaxy, shagging every celestial body in sight. Yeah baby.
It truly feels like if you're not actually bothering anyone that this shouldn't be a such a huge deal. And it really seems like this property value business is just an excuse for the neighbors to push the new person around. Living with a group of "active" neighbors can be a bit of a nightmare, like this HOA Karen who complained about guide dog training or this entitled neighbor dad who tried usurping a driveway and got towed.
One would think that studying history is a good way to achieve some insight into the human condition. To understand the common threads of all people within the contexts of the various times they existed. To, in some way, reach into the collective conscious of humankind and come out with a deeper knowledge of what makes us uniquely human. And then you learn bout the Great Emu War and you realize that we're all just wingin' it. Here are some history memes to become one with time.
It's perfectly fine to not get a joke. We all do it all the time. There's absolutely no shame in being confused. But when you're the kind of person who hates critical thinking so much that you decide that an obvious joke is an earnest statement, then go out of your way to accuse that person of not knowing what the sun is or whatever, you've just found yourself among the ranks of oblivious people who completely missed the joke. Enjoy your idiot throne atop your hill of dumb.
It would be one thing if this guy was trying to impose his own strict rules on someone over diet like this coworker who suggested a coworker eat a burger outside. It would be another thing entirely if he was demanding something that barely even exists, like this vegan neighbor who demanded a nutless baklava. But no, this dude insisted on having a separate expensive meal made just for him, and then turns around with a dietary slap in the face.
We've seen so many entitled people make audacious demands that this request for a completely free song in exchange for exposure doesn't even seem too out of the ordinary, as frustrating as that is. Well, this musician didn't even hesitate the throw back a request just as unreasonable as the original "offer." The satisfaction is real.
These relatable memes and tweets about the soul-grinding rollercoaster that can be working retail, speak to the troubled soul. Anyone who has ever been on the frontlines of a sales floor, or worked as a server, or even back of house mixing it up with the perpetually enraged chefs, knows that the gig can push you to your very limits. But hey, maybe we can take solace in knowing that the struggle is never exclusive to one person, and only one person in this mad world. It's happening all over the place. The hope just is that one day, the entitled and ferociously toxic customers just give all their antics a rest.
We do our best to accommodate our loved ones, but when the baselines shift and the things we make are rejected like yesterday's trash, it doesn't feel so good. Under most circumstances, making a fully vegan meal would be more than enough to please a vegan guest. But that's most circumstances. For some more dietary shenanigans, here's the vegan employee who suggested a coworker eat their burger outside.
There are plenty of people in this world that are ready to pollute those social media feeds and in-person conversations with wild, imaginative, completely fabricated tales about what they've accomplished in their lives. Sometimes, it's more obvious than others. We certainly love to see people get called out for their dishonesty online. With all of that being said, this particular list takes things a different, hilarious, more morally righteous direction with a collection of times that people were shamelessly honest on their job applications. If this was too honest of a post for you, check out the time that a woman lied about being a marine to get herself into the writer's room for a TV show, and then got exposed.
Ever wanted a haunted doll? Ever thought to yourself "I'd love to defraud the Salvation Army, but where do I get one of them buckets?" Well the answer is predictably, all over the internet and in the form of dumb junk people tried selling online. The fact is that some of these are jokes and some of these were posted in complete earnestness. The thing is, the ones you want to be jokes are never the ones that actually are.
If you want to inconvenience yourself by being late for everything, that's fine. It's when your constant lateness begins to inconvenience those around you that it becomes a matter of your inconsiderate planning taking away from other people's enjoyment of life in general. After the late friend was incapable of acknowledging this concept, this person decided to get some petty revenge in the form of a trap gift card. For another wild case of "friendship" here's the friend who demanded their friend travel internationally with their mysterious package.
We love that it's possible to got to a temporary Halloween store propped up in the guts of a long dead Blockbuster Video and walk through aisles of plastic machetes. We also love that costume makers have zero shame when it comes to the production and naming of such well-known hits as "Juice Demon" and Wizzrd Boy. To get into the spirit, here are some spooky memes for Halloween enjoyers.
