'I turned off every automated task I had ever set up': Dude gets pro-level revenge against an entire company just by taking an unplanned vacation

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! It's common saying that this office place has clearly never heard of. After hiring a secret employee to find the weak parts of this business, the higher-ups made a huge mistake. 

The OP shared their story to r/pettyrevenge, but in my opinion, this is definitely pro-level revenge. They had the opportunity of a lifetime to show their office place exactly how important they were. Even the strategy the OP had – take 2 weeks vacation ASAP, let the pieces fall where they may – is an exceptionally good way to demonstrate the weight they pull around the office. 

In the comments, people shared their own funny work revenge/bad boss stories. Sometimes higher ups just don't know how an office functions, and then their interference just makes a smoothly oiled machine start clanking and falling apart. 

Up next, get the inside scoop on people's anonymous secrets and embarrassing admissions, such as, "I bought a 5 pack of cheap Polish sausages from Sainsbury's to eat on my way home and it wasn't until I had completely finished the first one that I realized they were individually wrapped in plastic." Yikes!

Relatable Memes for Overly Enthusiastic Quitters Who Have Already Given Up On Their New Year's Resolutions

2023 has taught us that most people actually have no interest in self-improvement. In fact, if you've been guzzling disgusting green juice every morning, your muscles ache from pushups you did that one time, and you're getting really tired of dry January, you might have been a little overzealous with your New Year's Resolutions this year. Maybe it was the Christmas eggnog talking, but for some reason, in December, you thought you could change your life habits overnight just by saying that you would when the clock struck midnight. Well, if you're only three weeks into 2023 and already cancelling the gym membership you never really used, you're not alone. 

The new year doesn't actually change you as a person and who knows, maybe you didn't actually need changing after all! You're fine just the way you are– 10lbs overweight, an abrasive sassy single, a midnight snacker, and someone who talks smack on joggers in the morning. But that doesn't mean you're a quitter, you're simply accepting yourself for who you are and deciding, affirmatively, that you're not willing to go out of your way to change that. In my opinion, that's just some self love and self care.

'Go Back to School' : Man Goes Viral for Destroying Entitled TikTok Fitness Influencer In Heated Argument When She Demands He Move Benches Because He's Ruining Her Livestream

Imagine you're going about your day, taking your usual walk in a nice park near your home, when you decide to sit down on a bench to take a breath. That's still legal, right? You haven't noticed that someone is standing in front of a 'Tripod' and apparently taking a video. This person proceeds to approach you more or less immediately with an entitled attitude and an actual demand — get out of her way because she's 'filming a Livestream for her followers'. 

Truly, the crazy amount of entitled people that exist blows my mind. This man deserves a medal for the way he handled this situation. It's crazy how nowadays all these TikTok influencers think they're God's gift to the world and that they own public spaces. If anybody were to tell me to move from a public space, I'd snicker in their face. If you want to film a video without people in the shot, then don't film it in a park. Seriously, what is wrong with people? 

The world is rapidly changing, and there is nothing we can do about it. This man's behavior is a great example of how one should deal with people like this. I certainly took a note, or two. Below you'll find a few screenshots that cover the gist of it, but the full video is worth the watch. Scroll down to check it out. You can also click here for some profoundly strange pics that made me wonder… what are the odds?

‘You Messed With the Wrong Neighbor’ : HOA Penalize Man With Unfair Fines, He Plays Ultimate Long Game in Revenge, Leads to Foreclosure on Vice President's Home for Unpaid Fines Amounting to $10,000

Some housing communities have something called a homeowner association, and oftentimes, its purpose is to act as a little parasite, bugging people to no end with ridiculous notions such as 'Making sure your lawn is green enough' — in February, no less. This man was fined for exactly that, as well as for the fact that his trash cans were 1 foot away from where they were 'supposed to be', and he found it utterly ludicrous. He refused to accept this reality, so he came up with a plan. What ensued is a mix of malicious compliance and petty revenge. 

He took it upon himself to join the board with the sole purpose of revolutionalizing it to the point where people would not receive fines for things such as their flowers not fitting the neighborhood's aesthetic (Yeah… that is apparently a thing in some places. Just… wow). He succeeded far beyond his expectations and gives a detailed account of what happened below. 

Turns out the VP was quite the hypocrite, which makes this all the more infuriating. The moral of the story? Don't mess with people, because sometimes you're gonna mess with the wrong one, and make your life miserable. Scroll down to check out the crazier side of the world. If you're feeling a bit on the tired side and feel like you need a dose of dopamine to make it to and through the weekend, check out these hilarious work memes.

'Thats not fair!!! I already told her she can have them': Entitled mother insists on free products, then she really escalates her demands

Don't make promises to your kid that you can't keep! An entitled mom apparently had to figure that out as she navigated a text exchange with a stranger that quickly devolved into hilarity. As the OP explained, their dog had outgrown a couple of harnesses. They decided to just give them away to a good home, and soon they were texting with at least two people who wanted the dog products. 

However, as the OP shared, it wasn't all smooth sailing due to this entitled mom's demanding behavior. She claims to be hurt, and wants her free products to be delivered ASAP. Umm, what? In what world would that be of any benefit to the OP? 

Maybe OP would have chosen to help out this wacky mother if she'd asked just a little bit nicer. Instead, the woman just couldn't understand why this would be such an issue. Well, at least she'll know better than to make false promises to her daughter for the next time this entitled lady tries to snag a free product.

‘The Greedy Pigs are Stealing, and the Worst Part Is It’s Legal’ : Former Employees Reveal Shady Company Fails and Secrets

It's surprising how colossal secrets are kept for so long within companies themselves, but more so when you think about how many employees have since left said company, and kept their mouths shut. Perhaps they signed an NDA, or they're afraid that they'll be sued regardless. Maybe they don't care, or they think others won't. Either way, it is of paramount importance for the world to find out about certain (bad) things, so that individuals can work together to put a stop to them. We all play an instrumental role in change.

What I'm saying is, people have worked in some pretty shady places… myself included. Company policies often, for lack of a better word, suck. They don't serve the customer in any shape, way, or form. It can get unethical pretty fast. What you'll see time and again, is company management informing the staff how to cheat customers out of money or services they deserve. Heck, it ain't even always legal…

That's what happens when greedy, shady, inconsiderate people run the place. While scrolling through r/AskReddit I happened on a post that posed the question, 'What's a company secret you can share now that you don't work there?' — and let's say that the answers were not pretty. Below you'll find some of the funniest (and most disturbing) replies.

While we're on the topic of a lack of justice, feel free to check out these funny and dumb phrases that were overheard in courtrooms.

'Bye Felicia': Paramedic quits after discovering they are the lowest paid despite having the most experience

You'd generally expect your position on the pay scale of an organization to accurately reflect your contributions and experience in the role. Unfortunately, this usually isn't even remotely close to being the truth.

 

'EXCUSE YOU': Karen 1 hits Karen 2 with her shopping cart, Karen 2 hits her right back

Two Karens walk into a supermarket and the rest is history! The audacity of this woman to meet idiocy with idiocy and then post about it on Reddit like she's some hero… everything about this behavior makes me feel like we need a cultural reset.

 

This lady, who shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit, explained how she was "jolted forward" by a Karen and her shopping cart at the grocery store and wasn't given an apology. Sure, that's awful and wildly inconsiderate. But to think that the proper way of handling the situation is to do the same exact thing in return? Honey, you're a Karen too. Even looking at the original poster's responses in the comments section further confirms that she is, in fact, a Karen herself. Keep scrolling below to see the comments for yourself. For more anecdotes like this one, here's a story about a Karen and Kevin verbally attacking a 13-year-old. 

'I'm so dumbfounded': Law student sits two hour interview only to be subsequently told the position is unpaid

Bosting about profits when your workers are underpaid is never a good look; you're just bragging about money that has gone into your wallet that should have otherwise gone towards your employees earning at least market rate. 

'I'm just feeling a bit humiliated and unfairly called out': Professor tells college student to wear a longer skirt in a class-wide email

I don't see this ending well for the professor... This student, who shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/college subreddit, prefaced her post by explaining that she is extremely cognizant about what she wears to class. On top of that, the professor has seemingly never had an issue with the student's dress code prior to this moment.

 

With all this in mind, it clearly came as a big surprise when the student found herself singled out and shamed in a class-wide email about the dress code for their upcoming presentations. If it were a serious issue, the professor should have pulled the student aside and had a private conversation. The public shaming is not only rude and unproductive, but it also will jeopardize the professor's reputation if the student chooses to get the dean involved. Several professors and students shared their thoughts about what the Redditor should do next in the comments section below. For more stories like this, here's one about another college student's petty revenge.

Boss insists "cameras on, no exceptions" policy for remote workers, sparks online debate

The sure sign of a bad rule is utter and complete inflexibility; on the flip side, flexibility is something that is naturally worked into organizations by leaders who want to see and promote mutual success. If you're being overly tyrannical and micromanaging one particular aspect of your employee's work without considering things like their actual output and contribution, you're probably doing something wrong. Are you trying to contribute to everyone's success or trying to pump up your own ego with a power trip?

'I live my life like I'm being stalked by a sniper': 30+ Cringey and shocking confessions that could only be told anonymously

Who wants to own up to embarrassing things they've done when they could share that info anonymously instead? Certainly the users of @fesshole do! The British-based site is perfect for anonymous contributors to share their spiciest and most scandalous secrets. No one will ever know it's them, and everyone gets to take in the scenario. 

Even if you follow the page already, people post scores of these secrets each day, so we've searched through and found the most interesting ones! I'm particularly a fan of the husbands and wives keeping secrets from their significant others. Somehow, the stakes of their secrets being found out feels especially high! For example, one husband accidentally discovered his wife's wedding vows before their big day and has never told her. Hope she doesn't find out now that he's confessed anonymously!

"I thought he overreacted': Wife gets husband in trouble at work after taking his work laptop for her Facebook fix, thinks she's done nothing wrong

It's 2023, and a lot of us are more addicted to social media, streaming services, or YouTube than we'd probably care to admit. We'll take anything and everything — all at once — as long as it saves us from having a single thought enter our head that will lead us to reflect on our own existence. The buzzing hum of constant stimulation provides us with the means necessary to fill the void left by whatever our lives used to be. 

Unfortunately, despite the constant urge to check the reason behind the ding of a notification or that vibration in our front right pocket, we've still got jobs to do. We need money so that we can eat (while watching the same sitcom for the 100th time) and have a roof over the place where we rest our heads (and doom scroll social media until sweet sleep finally takes us.)

This wife felt that she was entitled to take her husband's laptop out of his work bag so that she could check her Facebook. After getting her dopamine hit, she failed to place the laptop back in its bag, landing hubby in some hot water at work. 

She has now taken to Reddit to see if she was in the wrong for the events that took place… and received a resounding response condemning her actions.

'Your request cannot be granted': Employee denied PTO request because horrible boss can't plan ahead

Your boss's inability to be organized is not your problem! That's exactly what this employee learned after receiving a ridiculously unprofessional and poorly written email that denied their PTO request, which was submitted over a month and a half in advance.

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/carter221298, perfectly captures the signs of a toxic work environment and a poorly run company. If they cannot operate when an employee is gone for 5 days (especially when they had plenty of time to plan ahead and figure everything out beforehand), that's not only reflective of how irreplaceable the employee is but also how disorganized the company at large is. Ultimately, this means that the employee has lots of leverage, as they might have learned by reading suggestions from folks in the comments section. The response here is not to comply but to put your foot down. If you're as needed as they say you are, they can't afford to lose you.

20 Weekly Memes for the Employees Who Need a Dose of Dopamine to Make It to the Weekend

You know it's bad when you arrive to work with a frown, grumbling a hello to the secretary, turning on your computer while rubbing your eyes, and wishing you'd have called in sick. You become obsessed with the time and take breaks whenever you can. Push off tasks even though the deadline is approaching because you simply can't seem to find an eff to give anymore. Your boss is absolutely insufferable, your coworkers are exhausting, and you begin wondering what the hell were you thinking when you picked this career back in the day. Where is the white picket fence you imagined you'd have by now?

Maybe a short vacation in Atlantic city would have done it back in the day, but now even that wouldn't take you out of the predicament you're in. Perhaps the answer lies in becoming a freelancer and just working from home. At least then you'd have minimal contact with the rest of the human species. That sounds like a personal heaven if you ask me. 

In the meantime, the best recipe for some serotonin is obviously memes, and that's why you're here — so let's get into them. Also, feel free to check out some terrible biological parents who get when they deserve when they think they can waltz back into their daughter's life unannounced. 

We Gave An AI Robot 18 Of George Costanza's Iconic Phrases And It's Disturbing

According to The Oxford English Dictionary,  Artificial Intelligence is "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception…". So we figured that it would be very interesting to see what happens when a tool that was built to translate the normal human mind into images deals with the person who rightfully described himself as "the opposite of every guy you've ever met." 

George Costanza meets the AI tool called Midjourney, Ladies and Gentleman. 

To sum up the results we would probably use another one of George's iconic quotes "I'm speechless. I have no speech". So without further yada, yada, yada here are 18 quotes we chose and the outstanding results that came from Midjourney.  
 

'He totally ignored my questions... Sir! I am almost 30 years old!': Misogynistic wedding venue manager embarrasses himself in front of colleagues, loses customers

One woman's story of being ignored by a misogynistic wedding venue manager had commenters asking, 'Has he lost his mind?' 

As a professional in the workplace, you always want to be taken seriously and respected in your line of business. For women in the workplace, just insisting that male colleagues be respectful and have normal workplace interactions can be a huge chore. One woman shared her experience on Reddit with the r/weddingshaming community, and the post clearly made waves, with numerous posters chiming in to share their own experiences with casual and blatant misogyny in the workplace. Others shared tales of men talking down to them or ignoring them in important decision making scenarios (like buying a car, as one woman shared.) 

Check out this story below to facepalm hard over this guy's cringey and out-of-touch interaction with the OP. And up next, check out this incredibly satisfying tale of a locksmith who got back at an annoying customer in a way that only a locksmith can. 

'And they think $7.25 an hour is a living wage': Local Florida restaurant hypocritically roasts people who take 'government handouts', while blatantly advertising their toxic work culture

Everything just hits different in Florida. Fondly known as the 'penis of America', Florida has proven that its mercurial population and DGAF approach to life can simply raw dog reality with no consequences. One local restaurant took that same Floridian spirit and has gone viral on Reddit through a post by a former patron, who shared a picture of an egregiously back-handed sign displayed in front of the business. Camellia Street Grill, a small local place in the heart of the Everglades, is obviously not happy with the rising labor problems in America and they certainly want everyone to know it. In fact, according to the toxicity implied in the sign they posted, they might even still think that that $1600 check from three years ago is still paying the bills for some people. 

'It took everything in me not to yell': Needy coworker keeps asking for a ride home, becomes borderline stalker

Melanie needs to learn something about boundaries! Let's also acknowledge that her name just sounds like that of a needy, annoying coworker (sorry, I don't make the rules!). This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/c4stoway. 

 

Our hearts go out to the original poster, who has had to put up with this mean, 'fair weather' friend. We all have that coworker who only acts like you exist when they need a favor, and here's the thing: you simply do not owe that coworker anything, especially if it's a major inconvenience. Using your 15 minute break time to drive that coworker home (which would realistically take more like 45 minutes) certainly qualifies as a major inconvenience. The fact that Melanie refused to take no for an answer and wound up waiting around for over four hours only to ask the Redditor for a ride home yet again is just borderline stalker behavior. Not only is the Redditor totally justified in saying no, but she should also talk to her supervisor and ask to be kept away from Melanie as much as possible.

'Nobody wanted to go': Pregnant woman wonders if she's the AH for ruining the entire family's dinner reservations with her pizza craving

Pregnancy cravings are usually a hall pass for what would otherwise be problematic, antisocial, or just plain old strange food-based behavior. Suppose any other person started aggressively demanding that you get them a pizza from a specific corner store in Brooklyn an hour away, topped with an entire jar of pickles and mustard. You'd probably think that person was certifiably insane. But when the requester is, instead, a person who is growing an entire new person inside of them, we tend to just nod our heads and go, "Yeah, that sounds about right." 

It makes sense and is totally fair, and for that reason, I think that this is the first time I've seen the internet side against a pregnant woman craving food. There were some specific actions and attitudes that led the readers to conclude that this poster was indeed in the wrong for their actions.

Top Trending Mildly Infuriating Moments of the Week (January 17, 2023)

What's more mildly infuriating than people? The things that people do! 

Seriously. The following list includes people who are just wasteful, ungrateful, selfish, and entitled. We're talking about putting your luggage on empty chairs at the airport gate.

Update: 'This is a scam!': Recruiter demands upfront payment from new hire for training, gets upset when they refuse

Everywhere you look, there's another person trying to turn another thing into a dishonest way of wresting cash away from the unsuspecting. If these people put as much work into a legitimate enterprise as they did into their grifts, they might find themselves to be quite successful.

The vibes are bad! 20 Cursed (and possibly haunted) rooms that will give you goosebumps

The bad vibes are coming from inside the house!

The shivers, the creeps, the ick — there are many ways to talk about that weird feeling you get when you see a place with bad vibes. It's a feeling of repulsion and disgust; the strange feeling that the place is not quite right. Maybe it's even haunted! Some sort of sixth sense is screaming at you to get out of that room. 

On that ominous note, check out these rooms with the ultimate bad vibes down below. Be honest, which room could you actually not spend a single second in? For me, it's the creepy hospital hallway… but there are many that make me so uncomfortable. Then, explore this story of a guy who shared his TIFU moment inspired by their quest for the perfect cup of coffee. 

'I will never give notice again': Company revokes all worker's earned PTO after they give notice

The relationship between an organization and its workers is built upon trust. Once that trust is betrayed by a worker/workers, it's completely fair that the organization loses faith in those individuals. However, when the organization betrays the trust of one of its workers, it's only going to be natural for them to lose confidence in the organization. That's an important thing for employers to realize; if you do things like not honor accrued leave for an employee, other employees are going to find out. This is going to completely destroy the morale of your remaining team members and ensure that they don't give you any notice when they decide to leave as well. So, in this roundabout way, it's actually a good business decision to front the cost of something such as paying out leave. It's a cost of doing business, and maintaining trust, even with your departing employees, will only serve to help you in the long run.

A disgruntled worker shared this experience to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, claiming that their employer had refused to honor their accrued PTO once they handed in their notice. They had thought that they were doing the correct and honorable thing by giving their notice to their employer but felt that this had just come back to bite them.

'Terrible service, never coming back': Cranky Karen refuses to pay mandatory tip, rips up the check

The nerve of this Karen! Not only did she show up half an hour early and express frustration that she and her large group weren't seated immediately, but also she literally snapped at the host and later threw a fit when she wasn't given the check. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/Iam_Twitch.

 

First, let's be clear here: the mandatory 20% tipping policy for groups larger than six people is relatively standard. Secondly, that policy was bolded and in all caps on the menu, so the restaurant is certainly not at fault here. Finally, we're of the opinion that the restaurant should institute a new mandatory 20% tipping policy if you exhibit any kind of Karen behavior like, say, any of the s*** this Karen pulled. Keep scrolling below for the full account of the story. When you're done, here's another tale about an entitled Karen and Kevin screaming at a teenager.

'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.
