Karen Can't Spell, Writes Wild 1-Star Amazon Review For Birthday Balloons


The internet is a wonderful creation that has opened all kinds of doors and avenues for the advancement of the human race. It allows us to collaborate, push new ideas, and make our voices heard in a way that was never before possible. 

New Officer Makes Subordinate Their Travel Agent, They Book the Officer the Worst Possible Flights


Some people just can't be trusted with a single shred of power. As soon as they manage to find themselves with even a semblance of it, they don't hesitate for a second to wield it over every person they possibly can with a stupid fury. I wish that I could say that these people don't succeed but, based on the stories we see, that's often not the case. It's as if these people have never once stopped to consider or care about other people and the effect that their actions have on their lives. Let's be honest, there are probably not enough cylinders firing up there to handle that type of empathy and introspection.

This thread was posted to the popular r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by Reddit user, u/ItsCoolImWithTheBand, who shared their story about a new Lieutenant who made them their de facto personal travel agent.

Only Female Employee in the Office Discovers Her Boss and Male Colleagues Call Her Jessica Rabbit


This woman found out in the worst way that all the men on her team call her Jessica Rabbit, and that it was her own boss who gave her the nickname. 

 

She posted this thread to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, where she was met with heated responses from other Redditors in the comments supporting her and encouraging her to seek legal action. So here's what happened: one day at work, she needed to walk over to her male coworker's desk to get him to send her a document (classic). When he opened his phone to do so, she could see that her name was saved in his contacts as Jessica Rabbit. The man obviously was completely embarrassed and was pushed to reveal that the nickname was his boss's doing.

 

To make matters worse, once she reported the matter to HR, they basically said it was not worth it to pursue this. Why do these workplace dynamics still exist in 2022? Come on, guys! Grow up. May this serve as a How-To of what NOT to do at work. For more workplace drama, take a look at this story about a new employee who quit after his leave negotiations were rejected.

'As I am in mid-sentence, he pushed me back': Enraged customer attacks delivery driver over delivery time


It's no great secret that people tend to get worked up about things that really just aren't worth it. Sure, waiting for an unexpectedly long amount of time for your food can be frustrating, and by the time it arrives it's usually cold, but you're forced to begrudgingly eat it in the state that it's in because your hunger has reached unbearable levels. People tend to get irrational when they're hungry but going as far as to attack a delivery driver over a late delivery is downright insane, especially when a message to the app's customer service team would suffice. 

Hell, I waited two hours for pizza delivery from Uber Eats just last night. The app seemed to think that the rider was delivering on a bicycle but after sitting at a gas station for close to 40 minutes I began to get worried for her well-being. The thought of a woman riding her bike alone down the streets of Brooklyn and coming to a sudden, prolonged, halt started all sorts of wild thoughts going in my mind. When she finally arrived, she wasn't on a bike, but riding in the back of a big SUV. Did this girl suffer a mechanical issue with her bike that led her to need to be picked up? Or was she running a scam in which she and a partner were fielding multiple deliveries at once in order to maximize revenue? The world may never know… but she definitely wasn't wearing cycling-friendly clothing.

If we're tying this back into the point here, at no point did I consider yelling at or attacking my driver when they arrived. A was hungry and incredibly sleepy, but sometimes that's just the way these things go.

Unfortunately for this delivery driver the people they were delivering to had a different opinion, and they found themselves accosted and then assaulted -which ended in a brawl and police involvement.

'No value in your work': Analyst laid off because no one understands his job, goes exactly as you might expect


It's not uncommon for your boss to completely misunderstand what your job is or how you do it; Depending on how connected they are to the inner workings of your trade they might not even understand why your job exists at all. This rule gets exponentially more accurate the more you move up the chain. Usually, direct middle-managers have at least done the base-level productive role that they're managing; or at least something similar at some point in their lives. Executives though are likely to have entered the enterprise straight from business school or dropped right out of their wealthy parent's loins straight into the position. As a result, they aren't going to understand a thing about the methods and needs of your work. Say, for example, if you work at a grocery store, the chances that the shift manager started out bagging groceries are actually pretty high, but the likelihood that the executive of the corporate entity has worked as a cashier, or even touched a grocery bag, is slim-to-none.

This is exactly as it was for dear old Bill here, a soft-spoken and wildly under-appreciated analyst who found himself in hot water simply for the crime of not communicating in a way that his superiors understood. He was told that his work was "not valuable," "worthless" even going as far as to say that "if he didn't do it no one [would] know." The company wouldn't understand his value until he wasn't there.

Cranky Old Male Karen Refuses to Leave Grocery Store When There's a Fire


You know it's time to quit when there's a fire in the grocery store and you're made to stay because a cranky Karen needs their chicken stock!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/ThePathUntaken, who recalled that time when not even a literal fire could stop this male Karen from being a Karen. This 70-year-old man named Gerald insisted on having his seven items rung up despite the manager telling everyone to evacuate the store (question: are people named Gerald and Ethel always called that before they become senior citizens because I have never met a teenager named Gerald?). 

 

Anyway, the Redditor didn't want a fight to escalate, so he rang up the items as smoke filled the aisles. You know there's a problem with workplace dynamics when you feel the impulse to listen to crazy customers instead of prioritizing your safety. Eventually, the Redditor got his manager to intervene since Gerald still wouldn't leave. Even when the manager let Gerald bypass paying so he could GTFO with his items, Gerald still made a point to say that his customer service experience was subpar. Do you know what's also subpar? Having to ring up someone's items while a fire spreads around you.

'Please don't come back': Karen destroyed by business owner after leaving 1-star review


There's a certain net of safety that the (rapidly evaporating) anonymity provides to us. After all, there is a reason that the term 'Keyboard Warrior' exists. It's easy to let the darker and more aggressive parts of your personality emerge when you stand to face no consequence for whatever you may do or say.

Funniest Mother Truckin' Trucker Memes That'll Have You Speeding in the Laugh Lane


*Beep**Beep* *Toot**Toot* Watch out, trucker coming through! Got a big load to haul, get out of my way! Ehh, I'm drivin' over here! Or whatever truckers say… I don't know, I've never even met a trucker. These memes had me crackin' up though—you don't need to be a trucker to LOL to memes. But if you are a trucker, then you are going to love these memes. Share them through the radio thingy you guys are always arguing in that I've seen in movies. Trucker life seems hard—you're working for days at a time, you have a tight schedule to follow, and you're away from home for long periods of time. But I must admit, driving one of those big boys looks pretty bada$s. I totally see how trucker culture is a thing—if I had one of those huge bad boys, I would definitely wanna deck it out for the long road ahead! Guess I'll just have to settle for these funny trucker memes for now.

Funniest Autumn Fails for the First Week of Fall


Some things should not have a pumpkin spice flavor, people!

 

You've probably heard or maybe just looked outside, but the first week of fall is upon us. Here at FAIL Blog, we want to celebrate with some autumn fails. Yup, that's right. Not everything goes with this season, contrary to what your coworker thinks. You know, the one who's already wearing a scarf even though it's still 70 degrees outside. The one who already has her entire Halloween plans figured out. The one who's drinking like 5 pumpkin spice lattes a day and bringing way too much Sad Girl Autumn energy into the office. Yeah, that one.

 

Let's take a step back and recognize that fall is literally just a season. It happens every year. Sure, you can be excited about it. I'm not here to ruin someone's vibe. But I am here to remind those of you who are high on pumpkin spice that too much of anything can be bad for you. Or how about just really annoying? As these memes and tweets will indicate, fall overkill is real.

Woman's Ex-Boyfriend Calls the Cops When He Moves Out, She Mocks Him With a Cop Photo Shoot


Nothing like a bottle of wine and two Party City cop costumes to get proper revenge on your ex.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/ExtensionPresent15, who was dating her high school sweetheart for 4 years and even chose to go to the same college as him per his request so they could be together (red flag). 

 

Eventually, he dumped her and slept on the couch for a week before moving out. On the day of his move, however, she was surprised to find two cop cars waiting outside the whole time…as if she was some kind of threat. She thinks maybe he was nervous her father was going to show up. Who knows? Point is, it was an act of hostility so what did she do to get back at him? 

 

Wine, Party City, and a social media photo shoot of her and her friend in cop costumes. Take notes, people. This is how you get back at someone while also just trying to make light of a messy situation.

'I automated my job': Developer discovers a way that they can work for 10 minutes a day from home


There has been a sharp increase in the recent trend of posts of employees claiming to have automated their jobs as soon as they were asked to work from home or remote full-time.

This poster claims to have set up a remote workstation for their tech job. And "in about a week" they were able to "write, debug, and perfect a simple script that performed [their] entire job."

It all just goes back to that old saying, often attributed to Billionaire Bill Gates, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it."

Often companies aren't willing to pay employees enough to warrant their extra effort and innovation. A lack of trust between the two parties can hinder actual progress as the employee often fears that their own innovation could make them redundant.

This is probably why we see stories like this popping up so frequently. When the chance presents itself, tech-savvy employees are more than happy to dramatically increase the efficiency of their tasks, but they need to know that they can trust their employer to reward that innovation, rather than blindly punish it.

All of this was what led Redditor u/throwaway59724 to automate their role at the first chance possible.

Their script was able to scan on-site drives for new files and then process them as required. u/throwaway59724 now reports that they now "Clock in every day, play video games or do whatever, and at the end of the day [they] look over the logs to make sure everything ran smoothly… then clock out. [They're] only at their desk maybe 10 minutes a day."

It sure sounds like u/throwaway59724 has unlocked a cheat code to life. All they had to do was enter the following into their menu screen at startup: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A.

Mom Lets Son's Ex-Girlfriend Stay With Her, Then Attends Her Graduation Instead of His


At first, it seemed like this woman was a saint. Then, it became clear that she straight up liked her son's ex more than her son.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Bun_Range363, who clearly thought she was in the right when she was writing this. But people sounded off in the comments online and were very upfront about where she went wrong. It's one thing to show sympathy to your son's ex when she has no place to stay. It's another to choose to attend her college graduation over your own son's graduation. 

 

This mother clearly felt her son made a mistake in his relationship, and based on what we know from the few details given, he very well may have. But he was 17. And he's her kid. It's tough to watch people on these threads try to justify stupid decisions that are just begging to be criticized. The lack of self-awareness is eye-opening. Like this woman wrote this and genuinely thought we'd all understand.

 

For more bad decisions, take a look at this story about a guy who hid his girlfriend's toothbrush to "make a point."

Funniest Memes About Dating App Fails We Saw This Past Week


Ah, to date in the modern world. 
Was the world always this crazy or has the internet just made it that much easier to out people?
It's like they don't even try to hide it.
In fact, many like to take it upon themselves to virtually grab a megaphone, climb an invisible rooftop, and shout to the masses 'I probably need psychological help but instead I'm gonna share way too many details about my creepy preferences and expect the people who surf the internet to applaud me'.
 

There seems to be too much information readily available at any given moment, and the memes we've added below do a good job of proving that. 
Some people feel it necessary to make a point that they are not a serial killer (Because we all know that serial killers tend to be upfront about that), others are married and looking for 'friends' on Tinder (Obviously the best app to find your next bestie), and some people are freakishly honest about being attracted to women when they cry. 
Apps are delightful and cruel, designed to keep you swiping until you come across a profile that makes you gag and delete your account immediately, only to reopen it the second you're bored, lonely, or both.
Have fun scrolling through these ridiculous (but super funny) memes we've found, and remember…
You can't save everyone.

Creepy Guy Gets Called Out for Sitting Next to Passenger on Empty Train


There should be a rule that creepy people don't get to take public transit.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Unlikely-Strategy596, who shared his story about taking public transit and enjoying a nice nearly empty street car…that is, until that moment of peace was interrupted by a creepy guy who chose to sit down right next to him. It should be noted that the Redditor is male and as the comments seem to suggest, he was just given a glimpse into what life is like as a woman taking public transit every day.

 

If only there were a way to detect creepy people like this dude and stop them from entering public places, we would all lead happier lives. There are just certain things you don't do: sit next to people on the train when there are tons of empty seats, choose the urinal immediately next to someone else when there are plenty of vacant ones, or hog the shared armrest on a flight. That last one isn't necessarily creepy, it's just rude AF.

Funniest Work Memes and Tweets to Celebrate That It's Finally Friday


Whether it's constantly following up on emails, making corny jokes to your boss to get in his or her good graces, or just dealing with the mess that is interviewing, it takes way too much effort to stomach office culture throughout the work week. 

 

But we finally made it to Friday, so it's time to enjoy these memes and tweets compiled from @humorous_resources and @corporate_millennial_memes. So as we procrastinate and count the seconds before the end of the work day, we're here to provide you with funny office culture jokes that will make you question why we even created corporate work environments in the first place. Not that working remotely is that much better, but we can't always get what we want (right, boomers?). What we can get, however, is the ability to laugh at the complete mediocrity that is office culture.

'I laughed at her': Used car dealership tries to use shady practices and implement fees, surprised when client walks out


A used car dealership thought that they had out-of-state buyers trapped and used the opportunity to try and renege on terms and instate higher fees; they were shocked when the buyers got up and walked away from the deal.

This couple had been searching for a used car after losing their previous one in an accident. They finally found one they wanted at a dealership 90 minutes away from their house. They took extra time and care to ensure they had the time to make this journey. Everything on their end was sorted, they were sure to arrive at the dealership right when they agreed to, but the dealership soon showed that they had no intention of upholding their end of the deal.

I mean, there's a reason that the term "used car salesman" is a thing, referring to someone who is insincere or dishonest. Stereotypes aren't usually true and can be rooted in nefarious places; Still, even with stereotypes aside, it's always wise to be weary when buying anything used -especially when it's a complex machine with an endless number of things that could be wrong with it.

"The first thing she does is pull out a different set of numbers than we were originally given and agreed to," the author writes regarding their meeting, explaining that the additional fees and terms totaled nearly one thousand dollars. 

They were then told that "If [they] don't like the fee, [they] could leave." They took that advice and stood up and left, losing nothing except a frustrating amount of time.

Commenters shared some experiences of their own and offered some sage advice in the comments.

"Whenever someone messes around in a high-value transaction- the best course is to leave," shared BluehibiscusEmpire. "Because if they are like that pre-sale, it will be a lot worse after you have given them the money."

Broke Memes for People Who Are Slightly Delusional About What They Can Afford


Being literally broke is definitely not funny, but we must admit that sometimes we just feel broke in a relative way. Like last week we may have had 15 more dollars to my name and now suddenly we can't get that chipotle bowl that we wanted and so we feel that we are significantly poorer suddenly. The good thing I've been broke, however, is that it's a great way to relate to other broke people. And they can definitely be funny sometimes to look back at questionable decisions we've made in the past when we felt cash poor. We've all been there.

Whether you're feeling extra broke today, or you actually fully have a stable job and you just wanna reminisce on the days that you were only able to afford $.99 Arizona's from 7-Eleven, we got you. This Memes list will surely bring a smile to your face.

20+ Incredibly Cursed Foods That Should Be Banned From Existance


There are some creations that people out there thought were brilliant when they came up with them that really shouldn't have come into existence at all. In fact, we should ban these people from even further participating in society. Items that make this list include the "peeing Calvin sticker" and "tow-hitch testicles," both of which are worshipped and frequently used by a certain particular demographic. Other things that I'd put on this list include subscription services for things that should be a one-time payment, gender reveal parties, and web advertisements with that little box in the corner that looks like it's going to close the ad but really clicks through.

Well, let's add some of these food creations to that list, shall we? The world really could have done without a 'Flaming Hot Cheeto encrusted chicken' and a 'Fruity Pebbles Pizza,' but those are just some of the more obvious ones; I'd also like to submit the face-shaped pie as a candidate for being banned from existence.

Girlfriend Gets Dumped, Goes to Ex's Mom for Support and Leaves Crying


Just another classic story of boy meets girl, boy and girl break up, and girl cries about it to boy's mother!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/throwawawa7, who writes about her son's recent breakup. They had been dating for over two years so, in fairness to the ex-girlfriend, she had formed a relationship with his family. 

 

However, after they broke up, some time passed and he began seeing someone new. Here's where things went way wrong. The ex went marching to his parents' place and wept about the breakup to his mother. Yikes. It seems like she handled things as well as one could in this situation. In fact, many of the comments on Reddit seem to suggest that she could have gone way further. Still, she managed to tell her son's ex that he hasn't done anything wrong by seeing someone new. This "reality check" set her off. Not only did she start crying louder, but also she told the mom that if she could "throw her away like this, then it's no wonder [the mom's] son can as well." 

 

If this girl had spoken to literally anyone in her life about whether or not it was a good idea to confront her ex's mother, they would have suggested that she process her feelings in any other way. I'd rather she vent to me before going to the boy's family.

Employee Asks for Day Off for Grandfather's Funeral, Boss Makes Him Provide a "Funeral Note"


Horrible bosses really do have no say, don't they? This employee was forced to provide a funeral note after requesting a day off to attend his grandfather's service. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/snaresht, who took a photo of his boss's request. It's actually kind of crazy when you think about the absolute lack of shame here. Even if we don't know the full story about the employee's trustworthiness, some things should be kept off limits. This is precisely the reason why there's an unnecessary stigma against taking sick days and/or mental health days when that is 100% something all workers are entitled to take. Sure, perhaps this person might have had more luck if he or she took a sick day instead, but then that day could potentially take away from, I don't know, a legitimate sick day. Family emergencies should just not be questioned. Full stop. 

 

If we accept "funeral note" requests, what's next? Selfies in front of the casket? A video recording of the service? Leave these people alone! For more ridiculous content about bad employers, here is a story about a worker who was attacked by his boss's dog in the office.

Employee Fired and Told His Work Is Worthless, Gets Better Job at the Competing Firm


These managers had no clue their former employee added so much value to the company. In fact, they told the employee his work was worthless. They learned the truth the hard way.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Thinkstopsay, who shared a story about his accountant friend Bill. Although he was quiet and reserved, Bill always provided excellent data for over 15 years. However, because of his quiet nature, his work often went unsung. When his managers hired a consulting firm to help cut down costs, the firm wrongly determined that Bill added no value to the company and he was fired. 

 

Bill decided that because he apparently added no value, there was no need for him to do his work during his final month on the job. So, he spent all his energy getting a bigger and better job at the competition, where he was ultimately much more valued and helped increase revenue for his new company. Meanwhile, revenue for his former company declined significantly. This just goes to show that there is, in fact, some justice in this world!

HOA Doesn't Want Dude Parking in His Own Driveway, Blocks Street Instead


We'll leave it for you to judge who is in the wrong here, but there ain't no way we're siding with the HOA. Even still, parking cars in front of your neighbor's house and blocking the street in the process is pretty damn entitled behavior… So we're finding it pretty hard to side with the poster either. It's probably the mounting jet lag and utter lack of sleep, but I'm having trouble agreeing with anyone today.

Harassing your neighbor with your car collection and making it, so the street is completely impassable is just not a good way to get even with your annoying HOA. Sure HOAs' are all too frequently the bane of many home-owning person's existences but dealing with them should involve less collateral to those who have to continue to exist around you.

That's my take on this one at least, it's not like the neighbors had any part in this. Whats your read on the situation?

Sickest Vaping Memes for People Who Rip the Fattest Clouds


Years ago, when cigarettes were starting to phase out and people no longer had interest in smoking, someone made a sneaky little device that you could store in your pocket that micro-combusted liquid tobacco juice to create the most convenient smoking experience of all time: The Vape. Now, when you smoke, you can avoid that ashy, burnt smell following you around all day. Instead you smell like unicorn farts and strawberry champagne. 

 

With billowing clouds of dense, foamy smoke seeming through the cracks in their car windows, it's a miracle they can even see out the front. Not only that, but people who vape also do sweet tricks with their dense smoke exhalation. 

 

Have you ever seen a tiny tornado on a coffee table? Now you can. Have you ever seen a smoke ring in a smoke ring? Now you have. Before 2012, people all over the country named Kevin or Kyle had nothing in common, but now, they're all representing the vape nation. That's so sick, bro.

Twitter Thread: 'The Queue', the Pinnacle of British Society, a Memorial


We want to take this chance to remember and memorialize 'The Queue,' an inordinately-long endless stretch of outstandingly ordered persons that demonstratively indicates we have reached the penultimate peak of British society. No, this isn't about the memorial for the queen herself but rather a memorial to memorialize the sensation that has now passed in the form of "The Queue" as it remains in our hearts and minds.

"The Queue," as it has been dubbed both on the internet and in the wider news cycle, was the line of persons waiting to view the recently departed Queen Elizabeth II in her internment at the St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. In absolutely British fashion, people jumped at the chance to get a passing glimpse at their expired monarch, with some queue-ers waiting for upwards of 29 hours. It's widely known how fond the British are of a good queue, and the religious zeal they display when they form them is one of the cornerstones of British cultures.

This spectacle generated a buzz across social media, garnering all kinds of memes and responses. According to the live timeline that the Guardian was hosting, significant events during "The Queue" included 98 persons requiring medical attention and the queue being closed once it reached "maximum capacity." The Government Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport then begged the public to stop joining. David Beckham was also applauded for his decision to join the queue, waiting 13 hours with his fellow Brits to see the Queen one last time.

Employee Says He's Available Every Day Except Sunday, Gets Fired After Only 6 Days on the Job


Here is yet another story where boundary setting led to wrongful termination!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/noahgrice, who explained how after less than one week on the job at a grocery store chain, he was fired simply because he mentioned to his manager that he was available every day of the week except for Sundays.

 

Considering that they never mentioned the importance of Sunday availability during the hiring process, this is 100% the fault of the horrible bosses of the world. No matter what it is you do, workers are entitled to say when they're not available without needing to explain anything further or risk penalties as a result of setting boundaries. 

 

You'd think at this point we wouldn't need to say this in 2022, yet here we are. Until the people who are foolishly clinging to exploitative work environments retire and accept that this is not the way we should be doing things anymore, we have to keep calling these people out.

 

We've seen plenty of stories involving horrible bosses and wretched management, like this one where an office supply store employee got revenge on her evil manager.

Top Trending Relatable Adulting Tweets This Week (September 21st)


Everyone has their own concept of what it means to be an adult. For some people, it's going to bed earlier, exercising more than once a month, or being informed by keeping a New York Times tab open regardless of whether or not you actually read an article. Adulthood is relative, and it's important to remember that what one person considers to be "adulting" could be "childish" to someone else. 

 

These tweets, which were compiled from Reddit's r/meirl subreddit, are the top trending relatable ones on the ever-evolving and ever-annoying concept of adulthood. If there's a takeaway here, it's that we're all trying to figure out something, whether that's how to pay our taxes without completely messing up or how to find a significant other just so you can split rent with someone.
