'Get your numbers up ASAP!': Boss Demands That Non-Sales Tech Guy Sell More Stuff, So Guy Sells Boss' Dad a Bunch of Stuff He Doesn't Need


It's not every day that you get a chance like this thrust upon you—a chance for everything wrong in your life to suddenly sing to the symphonic rhythm of poetic justice. Well, this tech guy got exactly that chance when their boss told them that they needed to increase their sales with "No Exceptions." 
 

This tech guy was working for an internet service provider as tech support when, one day, their boss came in and bizarrely told them that they needed to get their sales figures up. The tech guy wasn't even in a sales role, so he was beyond confused by this request, but when the boss then asked him to help the boss' dad with some tech setup, the tech guy saw their chance for a little bit of revenge and malicious compliance.

‘Don’t You Know Who I Am?’ : Entitled Rich/Famous Customers Who Are Total Karens to Servers and Tip Horribly


When you work in the service industry, you really get to see a different face of mankind, and it ain't pretty. The entire human population should work at least one week in customer service, in the hopes that it would influence them (AKA drive them crazy) enough that in the future, they treat people with kindness and respect. Alas, a lot of dude/ttes treat others miserably regardless of how rich and famous they are, because the fact of the matter is, people suck.

If we're to talk about the customers that suck the most that happen to be rich and famous though, there are a few that come to mind — sure, we gotta dig deep, because those days are long behind us, but the memories remain. Some of them certainly left a long-lasting impression. Scroll down to check out some of the worst famous people Redditers have encountered when working in the serving industry. Honestly, some were downright disappointing. 

My personal favorite is when celebs have the audacity to pull the 'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?' card — yeah, I had a few of those myself. Unfortunately, I cannot divulge the information as it is 'sensitive', but a lot of other people can. Oh, Reddit, how I love you so. To see the entire delight of this thread, you can click here. I'll put an obvious disclaimer in here real quick: These stories have not been verified. The users are speaking from their own experiences. Tada, now let's get into it.

A Candidly Witty Collection of Unorthodox Conversations Held in the Unstable Part of Courthouses


A courthouse tends to look immensely impressive on the outside, as it's usually an old building with large white pillars sitting in a busy location. The steps leading up to it are typically decorated with lots of men and women prancing around wearing black, coupled with a serious expression on their tired faces. This building is famously known for holding all kinds of innocents and criminals. The justice system is many things, but today we're gonna focus on the funny aspect of it.

A lot of people have seen the inside of a courtroom, whether they are a plaintiff, an attorney, a witness, an attorney, or a judge… and there is an Instagram account that is fully devoted to posting some pretty hilarious things overheard in there. We've compiled some of the best down below, so check 'em out. While on the topic of the justice system and verdict, click here for some criminally hilarious shower thoughts.

'Two cups... made me transcend the space-time continuum': Guy shares his TIFU learning moment, says it was a 'terrible discovery'


Breakfast time is not the best time for kitchen experiments, as one unfortunate dude learned the hard way. As he shared in a r/TIFU (today I f***** up) post that gained thousands of comments, he shared his brewing experience with us, so that we may absorb his wisdom. Basically, the OP did a lot of research on coffee, and kind of fell down a rabbit hole, leading to them purchasing an expensive new toy to make coffee with. But the OP clearly didn't do quite enough research, as they explain in the post below. They instead made a near-perfect cup of coffee, with a major caveat that the OP was completely unprepared for. 

Up next, click here to check out another coffee related story of an angry Karen customer who got roasted by an off the clock employee. 

'Food delivery gone wrong:' Confusion with food order accidentally turns man into a thief


In New York City, when you order food, you get the call, text, or door buzz that says your delivery guy is there. Then you just go down, take the bag, say thanks, and walk away. No other exchange is needed or wanted—it's NYC, they don't have time to say hello and comment on the weather. So when this New Yorker got the message saying his food delivery guy was at the door, he went down and did just that—grabbed his food from the guy, said thanks, and left. 

Turns out, however, he was very much not grabbing his food order. He was grabbing the groceries of a neighbor who was waving at him from the door because he was locked out. This man stole his neighbor's groceries right out of his hands and then closed the door right back in his face. Before the accidental criminal realized what he had done, the damage was done and the neighbor was nowhere to be found. 

He had a few encounters again with the neighbor that were extremely awkward. But finally he got the courage to explain to him that he didn't mean to rob him, and we went back down to find him and he couldn't. Luckily, the neighbor was a good sport and they shared a laugh about it and are even friends now. 

Check out the entire story below.

'We are to call him Daddy Cool': Entitled, unhinged boss insists employees call him weird nicknames, cue malicious complaince


This man-child sounds like the ultimate nightmare! Not only did he suffer from the typical symptoms of a terrible boss (outbursts, over-exaggerated hissy-fits, etc.), but he also had a strange desire for his employees to call him weird nicknames. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/SubstantialTerm3843.

 

The nicknames ranged from Sir to Master to Darth (yikes all around), but the straw that really broke the camel's back for the Redditor was "Daddy Cool." When Horrible Boss decided to make that nickname a requirement, his employees pleaded that he reconsider, but Horrible Boss refused. So what did the original poster do? Well, he decided to comply, but only in a way that would humiliate their boss in front of customers.

Sleepy, Self-Deprecating, and Stressful: Memes, Tweets, and Fails For Your Sunday Scaries


How do we combat the Sunday Scaries? One word: memes. Hopefully, you all have a long weekend for MLK Day, but if you do not, you're probably experiencing a healthy dose of the weekly Sunday Scaries right now. And if you are off today, don't worry. You'll just experience the Mortified Mondays tomorrow.

 

Some of you may have gone out and partied this weekend. Some of you may have done my version of that, which would be an all-around binge fest of pizza and television. Regardless of where you fall on that spectrum of experiences, one thing that has the ability to unite us all is our fear of the beginning of the work week. Mutual commiseration, as we know, is one of the strongest forces we have in this world. So, without further ado, let's commiserate together and scroll through these Sunday Scaries memes. When you're done, take a look at these disastrous hair fails.

Update! 'My husband has a dating app': Husband downloads Tinder because he's 'bored,' wife confronts him


There are lots of things married people can do when they're bored; downloading Tinder is not one of them. That is unless, of course, the couple has made some kind of prior agreement, which was very much not the case in this scenario. This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit by u/Sufficient_Village87, does not provide very much confidence in the future of this relationship.

 

If you're in a relationship and you don't have approval from your partner to "browse the menu," so to speak, we've created a list of other options to consider to fill up your time. How about watching a movie or a show or getting into cooking or reading a darn book?! Literally, do any of those things before taking the first step to cheat. This dude claimed he just wanted to have casual non-flirtatious conversations. Ok. Well, then go to Reddit, or better yet, check out FAIL Blog (shameless plug!). Anything other than downloading Tinder.

‘Sorry, Do I Know You?’ : Daughter Pettily Pretends Not to Recognize Biological Parents When They Try Reconnecting 9 Years After Abandoning Her on Uncle's Doorstep


Bad behavior and a lack of communication should not be rewarded. If you made your bed, you gotta lie in it. Those are the rules, simply put. You can't expect people to 'forgive and forget', this isn't a Hallmark movie. Some parents rendered their parental rights when giving their kids up for adoption. And I'm not just talking about legal ones. 

Yet, much like those pesky spam emails that keep showing up in your inbox, those 3 am calls from a regretful ex, and those forever skyrocketing bills you receive each month, it's all but guaranteed that you'll have something unwanted continuously slither into your life. 

An anonymous user took to Reddit to share the audacity of her/his/their (we're not sure) biological parents, who imagined they could just waltz into their lives the way they had waltzed right out. Worse, it was after the poster's sister had passed, so they were already dealing with a lot of emotions. Scroll down to read about the inevitable family drama, and if you're in the mood for some good old brain glitching, click here to see some of the most interesting pics from some talented (?) photographers.

Viral Tweet: Guy Discovers That His Online Professor Passed Away 3 Years Ago


If this isn't evidence of a desperate education system, I don't know what is! This viral tweet, which was posted to Reddit's r/facepalm subreddit, left me with so many questions.

 

For starters, is the professor's family even getting paid for this? Is there a TA doing the actual grading? Are they alive?! What do you do if you have questions? What are office hours like? What if there are big updates in the field of study and the subject matter or course material needs to be changed? Please tell me these students are getting some sort of a discount or that they were at the very least made aware of this before signing up. Something tells me the answers to all of these questions skew negative. Not to be bleak, but it kind of feels like the only thing farther underground than this professor is the current state of the education system.

The Most Absurd News Headlines That Will Make You Laugh Then Cry at Our Ridiculous World


The world is sometimes a scary, lonely, and horrible place. It seems like whenever you open the news these days, something terrible has happened somewhere and it's becoming numbing and ridiculous to even consider that there's good news out there. Fortunately, there are the few news stories that slip through the cracks in the machine, blessing our feeds with some of the most ridiculous heccin' titles imaginable. 

So sure, maybe there's been a horrific bombing in the Middle East… but there's also a talking parrot that was banned from the local zoo because he was cursing everyone out! The world is all about balance and the news is no exception. For us, that balance is critical to maintaining a healthy mental ability to continue opening up our news apps or flipping through the newspaper (if anyone really even does that anymore… do they even still deliver papers?) So stay informed and check out the most absurd, hilarious, and possibly fake news articles that never hit your screen.

'Don't sign it': Worker gets written up for discussing pay with coworkers, internet offers their advice


It's surprising just how often this discourse emerges online; it should be common knowledge among employers that they simply can't tell workers that they aren't allowed to discuss their pay. Not only is it not a good idea and encourages employees to discuss their pay, but it's completely illegal in the United States.

 

'What is this? Cinderella reloaded?': Real-life evil stepsisters make guy's daughter sleep on the floor


Haven't we all heard this story before? And didn't it star Hilary Duff and Jennifer Coolidge?! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Fill-AD53467, is a reminder that some fairy tales have a kernel of truth at the core. In this case, the truth would be that stepsisters can be actually evil to grieving daughters.

 

In this instance, the two evil stepsisters in question made the Redditor's daughter Shiloh, whose grandfather just died, sleep on the floor of their shared hotel room. When the original poster figured out what was going on, he got Shiloh her own hotel room, and the bullies complained to their Mom. Although the Redditor insists that his wife had no malicious intent, we should point out that 'Candace' is very much the name of an evil stepmother (sorry, I don't make the rules!). Even if he made that name up for anonymity purposes, something within him knew that she could be a Candace, and that's because she's also an evil stepmother. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments section. For more, here's a story about an evil coworker.

Update! 'I got the harsh and cold side of her': Ungrateful sister unleashes wrath on her sibling over spilled milk


There's nothing quite like seeing someone out of line get completely roasted. In this case, that happened when this younger sister called her older sibling out on being kinder to her children than she was when the sister was younger. When she shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, she opened herself up to the savage judgment of the AITA community.

 

Now, let's get some facts straight here: the older sister made one of the biggest sacrifices imaginable for her younger siblings when she was 19 and forced to gain custody of the three of them after they were all abandoned. Obviously, this was horrible and difficult for everyone, and the Redditor is forever indebted to her older sister (and she does seem to be aware of that fact). Yet for some reason, many years later, seeing her older sister react gently when her biological son spilled a glass of milk accidentally set the younger sister off and led to a completely unnecessary rant.

Terrible Teacher Gives Gaseous Teen Detention, Mother Goes to Principal and Makes Her Pay, Literally


Sometimes people need a little bit of monetary consequence to let them know that their actions have been bad; it's the only stimulus that a lot of entitled, narcissistic, or power-tripping people will respond to. And, while I can't agree with the notion that a teacher should normally have to pay for punishing their student's poor behavior, in this instance, it's clear that this teacher was just abusing their power and really mistreating and harassing this poor student. 

It's incredibly disheartening as a child, teen, or young adult, when a person in a position of authority, who you're supposed to be able to trust and rely on, is clearly misusing their position or just doesn't like you. Most of us have experienced it at one point in our lives, and it's something that sticks with us.

'Bro don't ever send this big a** emoji again': 20+ Super unhinged texts from the weird side of the internet


Texting is a way of life for most people, an activity they do dozens of times per day, so it only makes sense that some insane messages will leak out to the internet. Whatever you write is set in stone, even if you delete the message. So you have to be careful what you're saying — you never know when it will be posted on the internet for the LOLz. Because let's face it, people are super weird, and they just say the strangest, most unexpected things sometimes! 

Some of the funniest texting fails come from wrong numbers. I love the texts below between one spurned boyfriend trying to angry-text his girlfriend. Instead, he hits a wrong number, but luckily the guy on the other end has his back. It's a feel good story, even in all it's absurd glory.

Funniest Fatherly Memes for Dads, by Dads, and of Dads That'll Make You Fire Up the Lawn Mower at 6am


There is a mental switch that occurs in the male brain when he has a child or parents a kid. Becoming a dad triggers a list of latent characteristics that over every person over the age of 25 when fathering a child and those characteristics are universal. Understandably, we cannot scientifically prove this, but it seems like every dad brags about waking up early only seconds before falling asleep on the couch. Every dad guards the thermostat like everyone's life depends on it. And every dad loves grilling, chilling, and cracking a few brewskies with the neighborhood rival dads.

Did you just have a kid? Well, fire up the lawn mower because the dadness is coming for you. It's not something you can outrun; you inevitably may become the incarnate of your parents. You can't fight the New Balance sneakers. You can't fight the loudness of your sneezing. Finally, you will no longer be able to fight the urge to grab the leaf blower the second a single leaf falls to the ground.

'Commenters... thank you for speaking up': Insta page gets a fiery roasting after making a sacrilegious Snoopy post


Every dog has his day… but in this case, animated Peanuts icon Snoopy definitely didn't choose this promo for himself. 

It all started when Twitter user @hotpriestt shared screen grabs of a random Snoopy post on a page dedicated to the famous animated pup. While the post was from a few months ago, her tweet reignited the discussion around the oddity of this image. Read up on this dramatic internet tale of commenters who rallied around Snoopy dog.

Bad Breath, Loud Chewing, Lateness: 20 Major Turn Offs to Avoid on Dates


Be sure to check these out before your next Tinder meetup! If you have been on the apps for a while and it doesn't seem to be working in your favor, it's likely not your fault. People have crazy standards and the world of online dating is really just a cesspool of liars, weirdos, and desperate fools. However, if you fit that description and it's still not working out for you, then it very well may be your fault. You might want to triple-check your breath, your attire, your social habits, etc. If you're not sure what it could be, keep scrolling below to see the top comments from this r/AskReddit thread, and hopefully you'll create some kind of a checklist before your next date. Some of these are legitimate and others are just for fun. You can decide for yourself which pieces of advice to take with you. For more, here are some crazy pickup lines.

'You should have all said OK Boomer': Horrible Boss explodes at employees, causing mass exodus


It's you! Hi! You're the problem, it's you!  That's what the employees of this company seem to be communicating to their horrible boss, yet he's clearly not getting the picture (or the reference). 

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, speaks to a lot of what's been happening in toxic work environments over the last few years. What's particularly amusing is when employers choose the path of tunnel vision and decide to go on tirades about how nobody wants to work anymore. Do they even know they're just quoting Kim Kardashian? In this divided work culture, it's easy to point fingers at the people at the bottom of the ladder for wanting to be treated differently, but as we know, self-reflection is not a part of an old-school employer's mentality. So until these guys retire or accept these much-needed changes to work culture, one can only expect this mass exodus to continue.

'I'm quitting...': Veteran employee passed up for promotion then is asked to train their new boss


Being passed up for an internal promotion that you've been preparing for and waiting for for years is always going to sting and make you reconsider your employment—but being asked to train the person they've externally hired over you will definitely grind enough salt in the wound that it will drive you to quit. 

That's what happened when this employee was passed over for a senior role at their company and asked to train their boss-to-be. They shared their story in a short thread that they posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit yesterday, reporting that they were planning on quitting their role. The thread began to trend on the popular subreddit and garnered all types of responses from readers who offered their advice and reactions to the events.

'I'm A Genius!' : Funniest Verdicts By Shower Masterminds For The Crowd Who Likes To Brood Underwater


Do you know when the really good ideas you have pop up? Have you noticed a pattern, as I have? Because for me, it's never when I'm doing actual work. Rather, it's always when I have some good ol' quiet time to myself, usually when I'm singing at the top of my lungs in the shower. Suddenly the genius ideas hit me — I should open a startup! Move to Switzerland! Get a dog!

Think for a moment of our dear Isaac Newton. Sure, there isn't actual evidence that suggests an apple landed on his head (But hey, this was a long time ago, before social media was a thing and people knew everything about one another), but we are still led to believe that his observation of the fact caused him to develop his law of universal gravitation. So, in other words, when he was just chilling. 

Nowadays, with technology being more advanced, we don't really sit under apple trees, pondering about life… we do so in the shower, in our small apartment that is located in a packed city. No fields of green around here. There is actually a great space to upload and discuss these genius shower thoughts we have — it's called Reddit. You have an endless supply of interesting, creative, stupid, and downright ridiculous content on there, and personally, it's my safe, anonymous little haven.

So without further ado, scroll down and check out some of the best, most genius shower thoughts the internet has for us today. You can also check out these relatable memes if you're tired, broke, and have a love-hate relationship with your coworkers.

'She said they went down [to the pool] an hour ago, but couldn't get in': Entitled mom and kids demand to swim for literally mere seconds, just before pool closes


Going swimming at hotel pools is one of the best parts of vacation — and if you're a kid, it might even be the best part! Unfortunately, one mom and her kids found out the hard way that you can't just use all parts of the hotel any time you please. Pools usually aren't open 24/7 at most places. And as the OP shared in this post to r/TalesFromtheFrontDesk, at their hotel, people can only use the pool for an hour at a time, and it closes at 10 P.M. sharp, so that the OP can complete the rest of their front desk duties. I'm sure there are all kinds of Karens at hotels tormenting the workers, but this Karen had a pretty silly request that the hotel just couldn't comply with. 

Check out the story below, and in the comments, people shared some funny tales of other rule-bending managers and crazy hotel guests. Then you can metaphorically hop behind the counter of your favorite chain coffee shop for a peek into the lives of baristas (psst — they really hate making 'secret menu' drinks). 

Tenant Tries To Get Shady Landlord To Fix Sagging Roof, Leads To Disastrous Apartment Fail!


I smell a lawsuit or, at the very least, a few months of free rent! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit by u/ZombieAbeVigoda, is both shocking and shockingly unsurprising. We have all dealt with shady landlords before, but has it gotten so bad that the roof literally caves in? Are we surprised that it got that bad?

 

As someone who has spent the greater part of my life in New York City, I have had countless similar apartment experiences. The first two months of my very first NYC apartment as an adult were consumed by a seemingly endless roach infestation, and once that was resolved, we were then met with a seemingly endless leaking roof problem. All this is to say that I feel the pain of this Redditor, and I know what it's like to chase down building managers and insist that the situation is not fixed and they can't get away with doing the bare minimum. As people in the comments section suggested, documenting everything is the key!

'No build is complete without hot glue': These 'crying shoes' annoy the heck out of the DIY community for a punny reason


Folks in the DIY community were losing it over this 'crying shoe' hack that leaves viewers with more questions than answers. 

Not every craft project on the inter webs can be the best DIY ever. Luckily for us here at Fail Blog, there are plenty of people who are competing to make the worse possible DIY, including this one.

30+ Disastrous, Disgusting, and Disturbing Hair Fails That Redefine 'Bad Hair Day'


These customers must have asked their barbers to ruin their lives. That can be the only explanation for some of the most disastrous, disgusting, and disturbing haircut fails I have come across on the Internet. 

 

Now, if you're like me, you probably over-exaggerate a bit when you have a bad hair day. Or perhaps you rolled out of bed one day and didn't have time to shower before work and your hair looks like whatever was on top of Edward Scissorhands' head. You think everyone's looking at you, you think your hair will never be the same again, and you're fighting the urge to scream. The slightest uneven haircut or the mildest bad hair day can feel apocalyptic. 

 

However, once you've taken a moment to look at these ridiculous cuts, your mentality might change. Firstly, these people clearly want to be seen, which means they don't just have bad hair, they are also delusional narcissists. Hopefully, scrolling through this list will be a much-needed reminder that you, dear reader, are neither of those things. For more, take a look at this list of insufferable coworkers.

‘I Am the Main Character’ : Best of Cringey Entitled People Who Think the World Revolves Around Them


I'm sure you've heard your parents say 'The world doesn't revolve around you!' at least once or twice back when you were a small dumpling of a kid. Though you were appalled the first time they said it, at some point as you went through your teens, suffered through puberty, and entered your twenties, your prefrontal cortex slowly finished developing, and you realized that they were right. The world doesn't actually revolve around anyone. In fact, the galaxy in which our solar system exists (AKA the Milky Way) has about 100-500 BILLION solar systems. We are one of those. Tiny, puny, insignificant.

Our universe is also expanding with every second. The earth itself is about 3.5 million times larger than a human. Feel small yet? Long story short, we ain't that interesting. There are those who would disagree. A lot of them happen to be entitled social media influencers, Kens and Karens, and of course Kanye West, which is its own separate discussion. 

While scrolling through r/iamthemaincharacter, I happened upon a lot of these kinds of people and thought them noteworthy to share with you. So have a scroll for yourself, and check out how delusional people can be down below. Reddit is truly a wasteland of beautiful stupid people created for our own entertainment.

'Brag-fest Alert' : Best Cringeworthy Batch Of Raging LinkedIn Lunatics


As previously stated, LinkedIn is basically the Instagram of grown-ups, also known as 'The place where insecure people go to brag about their miserable existence'. You know those Facebook groups where people show off pics of them graduating with honors from some Ivy League school that you have no idea how they got accepted into, with captions such as 'I am SO proud to announce that I have humbly graduated from XYZ with HONORS. This has been the most inspiring, eye-opening, and spiritual experience of my life, and I am so grateful to the Dean and her daughter, who have been such a big influence on me… bla bla… bla bla bla…' ? So it's like that.

You can't disguise 'Stupid' as 'Not stupid'. It's simply not possible. So to sum it all up, I can't stand LinkedIn, and if you clicked on this post, the bets are out that you don't either. Sure, it's a great way to expand your social and professional network, find a job, and develop your career… yada yada… but it's also the perfect platform to read about others announcing how much better they are than you. There is no shortage of idiots on LinkedIn, and the fact of the matter is, it's kinda entertaining.

So without further ado, scroll down and check out some of the most embarrassing, cringeworthy snapshots I've scavenged on r/linkedinlunatics, because it sure made my day. Then, you can also feel free to take a look at what Reddit has to say about Gen Z leaving big gaps in their resumes in the name of self-care.

'You're not making me steam milk? Thank you for an easy life, king/queen': 35+ Highly specific memes from cafe baristas


Society would crumble without the hardworking baristas who get up very early every morning to clock in and make us our lattes and americanos. I pledge my allegiance to the baristas everywhere who make it possible to order a fine caffeinated drink and receive excellent service each time. 

Working at a coffee shop is no walk in the park, though, as this collection of memes from barista-focused pages will reveal. You might think you know what goes on behind the counter of your favorite Starbies, but do you really know how the barista feels when you ask for the latest viral TikTok pink drink? (Spoiler alert, they all hate those drinks). The inner workings of these coffee shops are laid bare below — so remember these next time you want to rush the coffee shop working making your 17 ingredient drink.
