'Go away': The life of an introvert as told by 25+ memes and fails

Being an introvert is a constant negotiation between your desire for "me time" and literally everything else in the universe. That means your folks, friends, significant others, work colleagues, and all other responsibilities. Really all these things do at the end of the day is get in the way of you having your Me Time. Sure, if you want to be a responsible, well-adjusted adult, you have to find balance for all those things. 

 

However, if you're like me and you have no interest in being a responsible, well-adjusted adult, all you really want to do is cancel any and all plans with any and all people. So, if this mentality resonated with you at all, keep scrolling below for this collection of memes and fails for introverts everywhere. If you are one of those so-called extroverts and you're curious how the other half lives, these certainly are for you as well. For more content like this, check out these disastrous dating fails!

'Everyone else is toxic but them': 30 People share the immediate red flags that someone is not a good person

You can learn a lot about someone just by watching the way they treat other people. On this r/askreddit thread, people shared that, along with other ways to determine if someone's trustworthy as you get to know them. The answers are interesting and eye opening — and you can tell some people only know their answers from personal experiences. 

Some folks advised that you should keep an eye out for how people treat waiters or other service workers. If they're rude or dismissive towards them, that's a major sign that they don't treat people with basic respect. Another person suggested a very bright red flag, which is calling their exes or roommates crazy. If everyone around that person is "crazy," maybe the problem is actually them. 

Check out these useful tips below. Then, check out these people who just wanted their food served on plates, but instead, got apples on an iPad and raviolis on a clothesline. 

'I do not schedule interviews for candidates who are currently employed': HR shows true colors with bogus hiring policy, internet reacts

We all know that employers can be ruthless during the hiring process, but this hiring manager made it clear just how ruthless they can be. It goes without saying that insisting that the only candidates you interview are ones who are not currently employed full-time is a major red flag. First of all, it's quite clearly a tactic to exploit the desperation of unemployed candidates. Secondly, it's wildly limiting; don't you want candidates who are seeking you out as a potentially better place to work? I guess that doesn't really matter to hiring managers like these ones. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit, and the comments provide a glimpse into just how common this ridiculous hiring policy actually is. Imagine if this Redditor quit their job just so they could be considered for this one. In this economy? No way! Keep scrolling below for the best comments!

Video of Barn Cat Intrigued by a Rattlesnake Sparks Debate Between Crazy-Cat People and Farmers

Farmers who have had barn cats all their lives say the cats are expert hunters and snakes don't stand a chance, but cat lovers say that it's irresponsible to let your pet feline near a venomous snake. (P.S. The cat in the video is perfectly fine.)

‘Jobs these days [hate] on introverts even when they actually do their job well’ : Mechanic with outstanding workmanship gets poor review due to being an introvert, which causes his raise to be cut

Life is already hard being an introvert. Humans are pack animals, but when you're an introvert you just want to be left alone. You have your few core people that respect your boundaries and those are the only people you want to hang out with. Why do you have to go and be socials with a bunch of strangers all the time? Or for that matter, why do you even have to go and hang with your coworkers? Shouldn't there be a divide between work and play anyways?

This is the argument one introvert employee has for his management right now. He recently had a work review that would have been outstanding if it weren't for the comments saying he wasn't social enough. This man is a nightshift bus mechanic and doesn't really need to speak with anybody to do his job well—and he does his job expertly well. So what's the deal? Is he really getting a poor review just because he doesn't want to socialize while at work? He also mentions that the work "social" environment is toxic and all the do is talk badly about whoever isn't on that shift that day. He doesn't want any part of that, why should he get punished? His review determines the percentage of a raise he gets, so now he is getting punished financially just because he is an introvert.

'Welcome to the bare minimum': Sneaky supervisor lies about shift change, so employee decides to act their wage

Although this boss thought he was being sly, he actually ended up making a long-time employee "quiet quit" their job. 

Imagine you work the same exact shift for nearly a decade, and then suddenly, your boss wants to change your hours. That was what happened to u/Badwolf2012, who shared their tale of this slow-moving catastrophe with r/pettyrevenge. Their boss basically told all the workers that they could take a vote to determine the best new work schedule to abide by. But he didn't even follow his own rules, and his workers clearly noticed the shady move. 

The OP took to the comments section to answer questions, and promised an update in the future. We can't wait to hear more about how the department is slowly deteriorating — the OP definitely needs a new job, though. 

Then, check out another bad boss who did basically nothing at his job, leading his employees to stop doing anything extra to help him out. 

'AITA for telling my boss I don't trust him anymore?': Boss hits interns car, then gets majorly upset when intern won't park near him anymore

This intern might have ruined their relationship with their boss, with one person scolding them, "This was very immature on your part."

Being an intern at a company involves a lot of meeting new people, doing tasks you've never done before, and learning about an entire field of work. This intern isn't exactly getting along with their boss, and they seem to be leaving a bad impression, too. 

As u/FabulousLikeHer posed to the r/AmItheA**hole community, they had a car accident with their boss in the company parking lot. It wasn't just any car — the OP has a sports car, which they write that they saved up for. One day, their boss managed to sideswipe the vehicle, leaving the OP with a dented car. After going through insurance formalities, the OP tried to park a little further away from their boss. Their boss took major offense to that, though. In the comments, no one could agree who was the a** in this situation, but the OP notes that just writing out the whole scenario helped them find clarity.

'If I see them, I bin them': Coworker brings personal dishes in from home to make coworkers wash them, they end up in the trash

Sometimes an inappropriate action deserves the appropriate response; it's the simple laws of cause and effect acting out their parts. This is how it was when worker u/elena247's coworker decided to execute the clever ploy of bringing their dirty dishes to work to have others wash them. When u/elena247 discovered what their coworker was up to, they decided the appropriate response was to introduce the dirty dishes to the trash can. Sounds like a reasonable course of action to us.

It's hard to imagine the audacity of this terrible coworker to walk her dishes from home so that her coworkers could wash them. Going through that much effort just to avoid effort is unfathomably illogical. It's really hard to fault this worker for dumping these dishes straight in the bin.

When u/elena247 shared their story to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, it received a warm response from readers who were bewildered by the coworker's actions.

'Expect surprise visits from me': Boss enforces strict no phone policy filled with ridiculous typos

It's hard to be taken seriously as a manager when your messages are overflowing with typos and misspellings. If you expect your employees to follow rules, you can't have those rules read like straight-up gibberish. Moreover, if you expect your employees to be careful with their tasks, you should probably consider, I don't know, spell check. Some of these typos are so egregious a 5-year-old could spot them.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/Such_Recover_777, who provides some more backstory in the comments section after posting the photo of her boss's ridiculous message. Once again, it just goes to show that managers can be incredibly tone-deaf in their messaging and can lack even an iota of self-awareness in their rules and practices. Not letting people listen to music with headphones as they're completing tasks? Not even letting them take out their phones when they're on break? That's not a workplace; that's a prison.

30 Fresh Design Fails and Things That People Didn't Quite Get Right (March 24, 2023)

Whenever you're presented with a problem, you have three options: 

1. Research the tried and true solution
2. Hire or ask someone who has the correct experience.
3. Improvise.

It's always tempting to go for the third option, and you might find yourself going this route more often than you care to admit. Sometimes this will work out for you… sometimes your creation will end up in a collection of images like this one. But—hey, there's no harm in trying!

These individuals gave it their best shot and in a lot of instances, came up with an entirely workable solution, but that doesn't mean they did everything entirely correctly.

'I bought a pizza so I could talk to the delivery guy': 15+ Cringe Pizza Delivery Fails

Why does it feel like there's nothing more anxiety-inducing than navigating my interaction with the pizza delivery guy? As it turns out, I can be a fully grown adult with a full-time job and plenty of responsibilities, but I still can't wrap my brain around what to say to the dude in the Dominos cap when he knocks on my door.

 

For starters, there's the impulse to apologize for making him deliver my pizza. Then there's the impulse to pretend like there's someone else home so it doesn't look like I just ordered 3 large pizzas for myself. Then, there's the unplanned conversation that completely ruins the script I prepared in my mind. For instance, I might just be expecting him to say "Have a good night," to which I have prepared my "You too!" response. But what if he says "Enjoy your pizza!" and then I accidentally still say "You too." See what I mean? Navigating these interactions is harder than it seems.

‘Welcome to the Loonies Playground’ : Top Tone-Deaf LinkedIn Lunatics

LinkedIn is a social media platform where contestants go to compete over who leads a more privileged, happy life. In other words, who can be the most tone-deaf? From celebrities to CEOs, your jaw is bound to drop at one point or another while scrolling, as you sift through the entitled mess. How do people live with their own stupidity? It seems as though there are different planes of reality, and we don't all live on the same one. If that were the case, the captions of posts would not be so staggeringly phony and/or ignorant.

It's the Instagram for grown-ups, a platform where insecure people get to show off, bragging about their own semi-miserable existence so that they feel a little less bad every time they pass a mirror. Of course there are some advantages to having a LinkedIn account, such as expanding your social network, looking for a job, developing your career, etc. But sometimes I wonder if the cons outway the pros. You be the judge…

AITA: 'He found out when he was served an eviction notice': Immature brother expects family freebies after avoiding paying rent to his brother for months, older sibling sells the house in retaliation, family drama ensues

There's a reason that people wear stupid masks to cover their identity when they accept lottery winnings on public broadcast. It's simple– they don't want their family knowing that they're overnight billionaires. For some reason, people think that they're entitled to a portion of any family member's financial success just because you're related. One man found out the hard way just how far his brother was willing to push him to get 'his share' of family freebies, forcing him to teach his sibling a brutal life lesson. 

After allowing his brother and their family to live in one of his rental properties, the older brother started to sense that things might go sour. The younger brother, at first, was determined to improve the property, buying things for the house and then "taking the buyers fee" out of his monthly rent. The older brother never asked for these changes to be made to the house so he simply asked him for the full rent amount and to leave any renovations to him, the property owner. 

That's when the scamming started. 

The younger brother started to run out of money and kept pushing off rent payments, begging his brother for an extension and never following through. Finally, the older brother got fed up covering the costs himself and letting his brother take advantage of him. He listed the house to sell and his brother was sent an official eviction notice. Ouch. 

Fuming, the financially irresponsible brother called him saying that he should have offered it to them to buy, but the older brother was wondering what kind of money he had stashed away to buy a house when he didn't even have enough to make rent? The younger brother went on a revenge spree, bad mouthing the older brother to the entire family. The older brother gave the family members their own chance to cover the cost of his brother's debt and nobody stepped up. As it turns out, when you give family an inch on money matters, they'll take a whole mile. 

'Ma'am these knives are high-end...': Customer gets sharp revenge on rude store clerk when he makes an incorrect assumption about her knife knowledge

A hasty and rude retail worker quickly corrected this woman when she pointed out a pricing error on a chef's knife she was interested in. She relented in revealing the mistake to the worker and ended up with a deal on a great knife.

This story was shared to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/TIL_eulenspiegel, the woman in the story, where it earned 19k upvotes as of the writing of this post.

When she went to the department store, she was greeted by an "older man" who was extremely helpful. But by the time she had made her selection, he had gone on break and been replaced by a "young rover from another department."

When she approached the counter with her selection, the knife rang up as $40, which she was certain was incorrect. When she attempted to correct the error, the youngster interrupted her. Upon inspection of the label, it was clear to the OP that the knife had been labeled incorrectly. The label described a six-inch sandwich knife when it was clearly an eight-inch chef's knife.

In this case, things worked in u/TIL_eulenspiegel's favor. She gave up on correcting the young man and ended up with a hell of a deal on a knife. Sounds like a win to us!

Dad Gives His Stepson an Equal Share of His Inheritance, Faces the Wrath of His Biological Children

You know that feeling when your father drafts his will in such a messed up way that it becomes clear he should really be investing in therapy instead?

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Particular-Song-5748, who described a recent fight with his biological children (now in their 30s) after telling them that he plans to give his stepson the same percentage of his inheritance. To clarify: his stepson (12 years old) has only been in the father's life for 4 years now, and although he denies this, it's quite clear that his preferential treatment towards his stepson is an attempt to right the wrongs of the past when his biological kids were young.

 

You'd think a better way to right those wrongs would involve focusing his attention on the biological kids themselves, but I guess a 62-year-old man's mind works in mysterious ways. It should also be noted that the biological kids played a role in expanding their dad's business and helping him become successful later in life. What a completely idiotic move to then give them less inheritance, especially when they played such a large part in his later success in the first place!

'My boss said upgrade him if there is room, so I made sure there wasn't' : Flight attendant maliciously complies with boss, upgrading 5 random passengers to business class, revoking rude passenger's free upgrade

Flight attendants see the good, the bad, and the ugly. To be fair, anyone working in the service industry gets access to the entitled side of the world. This employee was working as a flight attendant at a regional airline and had enough of her usual, disgruntling encounters with a rude, entitled traveler who happened to have ties to her boss, VP Karen. One day he arrived, pompous as ever, demanding to be upgraded to business class. He didn't have a coupon, which was necessary in order to receive said upgrade, so she turned him down.

Sure enough, not two minutes later, she received a call from VP Karen, who told her, 'If there is room, upgrade him'. Begrudgingly, OP did as she was told, until she was struck with a genius idea… technically, VP had said 'if there is room'… meaning, OP had some spaces to fill, and she needed to fill them fast. By the time she was done, she made sure that this bad-mannered passenger would not be upgraded, because, after all, there was no room.

'I [had] had enough': Jealous cousin confronts nepo-privilage relative over her promotion

Sometimes the fact that you have "privilege"—an edge over the competition—is undeniable, and you need to acknowledge it as such. If (or when) you do that, you might find that you get back a little respect. 

This has become a hot topic of modern discourse, with the term "nepo baby" spiking in searches at the end of last year in reference to the children of wealthy, connected, or influential parents being disproportionately represented in the film and music industry. In recent months, the conversation has spilled out to other discussions of privilege, favoritism, and nepotism that are present in the workplace and everyday life. 

It emerged again in this thread, posted on Reddit's r/AmIthea**hole subreddit by Redditor u/throwaway6794241, who shared their post to the popular sub to see if they were in the wrong for their comment to their step-cousin. 

They had been receiving praise from their family for a recent promotion (at their boyfriend's father's company) when their step-cousin (who also worked for the same company) came at them with jealous comments about their "nepo privilege." This wasn't taken well, and the poster's response caused further bad feelings. 

Readers have voted that "everyone sucks" in this situation. What's your take?

'They were trying to scam us into paying': Entitled dude mows neighbor's lawn without permission then charges them for it

Dude, no one asked you to mow my lawn! 

 

That's probably what this Redditor was thinking. She posted her story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. Essentially, her new neighbor consistently makes noise at 4 in the morning and then one day, she discovered that her lawn was fully mowed. Then, later that day, the Redditor discovered a literal BILL under their door. As if they had asked for this service to be provided when in reality, they didn't ask for anything. 

 

Based on the reactions from folks in the comments section, it's quite clear that this is a common occurrence among entitled neighbors. The simple solution in these kinds of scenarios is almost always transparent communication, but I guess you can't expect that from fully grown adults, can you?

'My boss snubbed me after I saved the company $45,000' : Boss refuses to promote burnt out employee despite increased profit margins, leads to malicious compliance, boss gets made redundant

Managers often have the tendency of getting employees to jump through hoops in hopes of getting promoted, then don't end up delivering. This employee did so much extra work that she actually saved the company $45,000, but alas, she was told she was still not 'deserving' of a promotion. In other words, even if you do a good job, it's not good enough. Fed up, OP decided enough was enough, because if the company was saving $45,000 but still couldn't 'afford to give OP a raise', then why bother putting in any extra effort?

From then on, she stuck to what was in her job description. Her boss was less than pleased (what did she expect?), not to mention that profits went way down. There were many attempts on this boss's part to try to screw OP over, but they were all unsuccessful. Eventually, the manager got yelled at by the CEO, which did the trick — OP got promoted, whereas her boss got made redundant.

'It's wasteful': Dillydallying customer demands one—and only one—bag from retail associate, gets their wish

We've said it once, and we'll say it a thousand times: When making a demand from an underpaid retail worker who would probably rather be somewhere—no, anywhere else than standing here listening to you, you'd better choose your words wisely. You might end up with exactly what you wished for—just… not quite how you pictured it. (The monkey's paw curls.)

That's what happened in this classic case of malicious compliance, which was shared to the popular Reddit sub of the same name by Redditor u/Laid-e_LOVE. The poster explains that they work as a cashier at a discount store, earning minimum wage. Their post gives the impression that they deal with no shortage of typical retail baloney during their time on the clock, including dealing with condescending customers who turn up their noses at the workers even though they would never last one day on the job.

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.

20+ Memes of the Week for Work Wardens Who Roast Their Coworkers (March 22, 2023)

When in doubt, don't ask your Karen coworker, or so I've been told. In fact, stay as far away from her (or him, we don't discriminate against Karens around here) as you can. Sure, your team may be severely understaffed, but it's the rule of thumb, so no cheating. On top of the fact that you're overworked because of said lack of employees, you also aren't making close enough to what you should be making.

Why? Because companies are greedy, bosses don't like promoting good workers, and all in all, you don't even want to work because the atmosphere is so toxic. Plus, the customers suck. That is if you work in the service industry. And what am I here for, if not to complain? It is my right, my duty, and my responsibility as a meme angel. So without further ado, scroll down and check out the best coworker memes of the week.

'AITA for making an insurance claim': Internet torn over guy's decision to press charges against good samaritan who broke a window on his vehicle

Typically, if someone breaks something of yours, you might expect them to be responsible for replacing it. But what if that thing wasn't exactly new? What if it was already broken in another way already? Should the person have to replace it with a new version of the already broken thing?

That's the question that came to the forefront of discussion sparked by this thread that was shared on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. The posting Redditor, u/Admirable-Cabinet-52, shared their experience to the popular subreddit to see if they were in the wrong for making a good samaritan pay for a new canopy for his pickup after they accidentally broke the window on it trying to help him close it.

Is this guy in the wrong for charging the kid for "breaking" a part of his vehicle? Should the kid not have touched the car—and is he automatically in the wrong for that? Either way, probably a good lesson for this young lad to not touch other people's things under any circumstances; you don't know what kind of a-holes might be out there looking to profit off of your attempt at a good deed. It's this same kind of thing that caused a lot of places to put protections in place to protect first-aid givers against lawsuits resulting from administering CPR.

'AITA for being Karen-ish with retail workers?': Customer flips out on retail workers after they ignore him for a half hour

After being ignored for over a half hour while shopping, this dude had a complete meltdown! 

While sharing his story to r/AmItheA**hole, this dude made sure to preface his story. He wrote that he's been around service workers his whole life, and worked service industry roles before, so he apparently knows what it's like to be in that line of work. However, he clearly forgot that when he went to a store and got ignored. 

The first red flag is that the OP thought he'd get great service inside a dead mall. He and his wife waited around in a  store without seeing a single employee. When they finally found a cashier, they said they'd send an employee over to help them find what they needed. But after another 25 minutes, there were still no employees around to help the OP and his wife.

'You disrespected me by consuming my almond milk': Woman gets on a plane and leaves boyfriend because of milk, leaves dramatic letter

Every so often on the Internet, you come across a crazy story and scroll through the comments, realizing that no one is acknowledging the behavior of the storyteller. That seems to be the case with this story, which was posted to Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit. 

 

Here's the deal. We are sympathetic to the fact that the Redditor is lactose intolerant and has to buy different kinds of groceries, separate from her partner. We are also sympathetic to the fact that her partner has been repeatedly disrespecting her by eating these special products that she purchases for health reasons. For me, it was the letter she added in her edit that felt like a red flag. For starters, it was highly dramatic and clearly made it seem like this couple has serious communication issues on both sides. Our take on the whole milk debacle? It's quite possible that everyone sucks here.

 

For more stories like this, here's one about two entitled aunt Karens.

'She demanded my manager fire me on the spot' : Entitled customer Karen has meltdown and calls corporate following barista's savage confession

Karens enjoy being given attention (albeit negative), and unfortunately, it tends to come at other people's expense. Especially those who work in customer service, AKA baristas, servers, retail workers, etc. This Karen picked the wrong day to mess with this barista, as it was the employee's last day. Karen had a constant rude, demeaning attitude, making employees and customers hate her alike. So it couldn't have been that much of a surprise that this employee snapped. But of course, we're talking about a Karen here, and anyone who doesn't worship the ground she stomps on is an immediate enemy in need of quick, skillful termination.

Karen barked at the barista, fed up with the fact that it was 'loud' in the coffee shop, and the barista had had enough. She herself replied with a taunt, admitting that she had ignored every request Karen had ever made to 'remake' her drink. This amounted to about a year. The aftermath of this brave confession was a total meltdown on Karen's part, as she totally lost it. Common Karen phrases such as, 'Get me your manager!', 'Fire her!', and 'I'm calling corporate!' were used. Much to Karen's dismay, nobody really cared all that much, because it was this employee's last day. Scroll down for the full, hilarious story.

‘I couldn't believe she got away with it’ : Unhinged Karen calls police in attempt to avoid paying for services, places false accusations on employee and gets away with it

There are people that are willing to go to great lengths in order to avoid paying, such as this Karen, who took advantage of an employee at a nail salon. He was just doing his job when she made an executive decision to make his life unnecessarily harder. She ignored his instructions and purposefully kept moving her hand out of the UV/LED light, so her fingernails wouldn't dry. He gently put her hand back in a couple of times, as it is his job to do so, and she lost it.

She called the cops, because, well, she is, as the title suggests, a little unhinged. When they arrived, she claimed he 'forced her hand into the light' and announced her desire to press charges. To say she got carried away a little would be putting it lightly. The police questioned the people in the shop, and the result of this whole mess was… nothing. That's the problem. She stirred up trouble and didn't pay for the service the salon provided. Plus she didn't get into any trouble for making up lies and wasting police time, either.

u/davidpham268 was furious and took to Reddit to complain. Commenters chimed in that it was his duty to press charges on her for not paying the bill.
