Top Coworker Memes for Understaffed Teams of Employees With One Foot Out the Door (May 3, 2023)

Claiming overtime gives us brief jolts of joy when receiving our monthly paycheck, but the reason for said overtime is that we're seriously understaffed, so although we can hear the cha-ching of dollar bills entering our sad accounts, our sanity has slowly declined. Employees have been complaining about this lack of manpower for longer than they care to remember, and although bosses around the globe have continuously assured everyone that there will be new hires, it's simply not happening.

Moods decline and the atmosphere at work becomes like a 7th-grade classroom, where everyone acts like they're better than everyone else; so working with other people, AKA coworkers, which was tiresome, becomes a nightmare. You find yourself wondering, why didn't you learn code back in the day? Your legs would be propped up on a hardwood oak table, sitting on a silk chair, your ears covered by the latest Apple technology which drowns out your neighbors singing in the shower.

But alas, you don't work in tech, and your salary makes you want to scream at the poor barista who didn't get your coffee right because 4 dollars for a coffee is a lot, and you would like to get your money's worth, thank you very much. Below you'll find some hilarious coworker memes to better your day. Also, smile at your barista. They're going through a lot. For more like this, here are some more coworker memes to share with your office Karen.

'AITA for not giving my coworker my day off?': Coworker demands guy's leave that he booked to play the new Zelda game

Let's be real… We've all had that one coworker who is always coming in late and leaving early to pick up their kids. No big deal, right? Everyone deserves to have a flexible working arrangement. But, when that flexibility and those considerations aren't offered to other workers, and it places more work or undesirable shifts on those workers' shoulders, it becomes a problem.

Reddit especially champions the idea that those with kids shouldn't expect special treatment over their coworkers who are childless and this sentiment also extends to the topic of scheduled leave from work. A lot of workplaces schedule leave on a "first come, first serve" basis, leaving chronic procrastinators like myself permanently out of luck for hotly-contested weekends. Disputes will then often emerge around these dates as to who has the best claim or best reason for wanting to take leave, with claimants almost always trying to distract away from the fact that they weren't the first to claim. 

Enter: This guy—who booked leave just before Mother's Day weekend so that he could play the new Zelda game all day when it drops. This drew the ire of his coworker, who wanted the day off to spend a three-day Mother's Day weekend with her kids. The confrontation caused the guy to turn to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to see whether or not he was in the wrong for refusing to relinquish his claimed day.

Readers seemed to predominantly take his side, declaring him not to be the a-hole in this situation. Read on and let us know your take.

Afterward, check out this worker whose "prankster" coworker was causing them to lose their sanity.

'Kevin thinks he can speak every language in the world': Cringy dude believes he's 'impressing' foreign clients, embarrasses coworkers instead

We all have that one colleague who's a total show off. They like to claim that they were heading up a project, when actually they barely did any work on it. Or they try to schmooze with clients and C-suite employees, only to come off as arrogant and irritating. People like this exist everywhere, but not everyone is quite as confident in their abilities as this crazy Kevin! 

At least this guy didn't get away unscathed. The OP, u/UnlikelyAlternative, writes that after Kevin's big goof with some clients from abroad, his "delusions of linguistic grandeur" made him a laughing stock. He's never going to recover his credibility after something as stupid as that. 

Up next, check out these customers who thought they were extra smart… but they certainly couldn't outsmart the cashiers. 

'We sent 10,000 copies of a useless calendar to a client': 20+ People who are face-palming over their coworkers' mistakes

Every job requires you to have coworkers, whether you want to or not. These people encountered some coworkers who made extra dumb mistakes — and some are more dangerous than others. 

The r/AskReddit community answered the question, "What's the dumbest mistake you've seen an incompetent coworker make?" And I am shocked at some of the answers. People wrote in from all walks of life, from lawyers to pet shop workers to designers.

Everyone makes mistakes, but some people don't handle that well. It seems like a lot of the stories stem from people either not caring about their job, or making careless mistakes and then lying about it. That just makes things worse in the long run — for that person, and for the coworkers that need to clean up the messes.

'She messed with the wrong student; she never complained again': Barista student schools Karen customer after one too many coffee ‘remakes’

Working in customer service, hospitality, retail, or any other field that requires you to have human interaction with Karens on a daily basis, gives you a strong backbone you never asked for, and bucketloads of apathy. At first, you feel like a failure when a customer screams at you, demanding a free refill because your coffee tastes like the back of a dump truck. You realize it's ridiculous that a total stranger has the power to make you feel like a blundering fool, all over a cup of coffee. Eventually, you become passive to high-pitched requests and can win a staring contest with a troll.

In this case, a student was studying at a hospitality school and had to make coffee as part of their classes. OP explained that they dealt with difficult customers on a daily basis, stating they were actually 'the worst of the worst'. One customer in particular, who we'll call 'Ellen', made OP's life particularly miserable, resending her coffee back every single time she got it because it wasn't 'hot enough'. OP observed that Ellen was letting her coffee sit in front of her grubby fingers for about 10 minutes before complaining each time, so OP realized that the culprit was in fact, time, rather than her own coffee-making skills.

Ellen continuously harassed the working students, obviously leading a very miserable existence and deciding to take it out on poor, unassuming souls. So OP hatched a plan that included some good old petty revenge. Scroll down to read the full, detailed account of events. For more stories like this, here is an employee who got his new boss fired via malicious compliance that included listening to a little too carefully to his boss's orders during a power outage in a rural area.

'They are not qualified': Worker blocks old coworker and boss's applications when they interview at worker's new company

It always pays to be kind—or at least decent. You never know when that karmic pendulum is going to swing right back at you and knock you on your rear… The world is a far smaller place than we take it to be and only gets smaller as you isolate down into the people you're likely to interact with based on demographics. Within a given industry, it's more than likely that you'll encounter the same people over the course of years spent in different jobs, even if you move cities.

This idea gives rise to the famous anecdote/cliche about a candidate rushing to get to a job interview. As they enter the lobby of the business where they're interviewing, they neglect to hold the door for the person behind them, instead allowing it to fly back into their face. The candidate approaches the receptionist to let them know they've arrived and is made to wait momentarily before being ushered into the room. In the room waits the CEO of the business who is interviewing them… the very person they neglected to hold the door open for. 

There are hundreds of variations of this that play out in different media, including at least one episode of every sitcom. But it all hails back to this idea that you should always be decent to others, and if you slip up, it will backfire on you spectacularly. 

This worker shared the story of their chance to be the deliverer of this karmic justice after being granted the ability to weigh in on their former boss and coworker's applications to their new employer.

'He was getting ruder every time we spoke': Scammy business guy tries to bully administrator and gets shut down, loses sale

It's often the case that treating people with respect will net you the best result, no matter how frustrating you find something to be. That doesn't mean that you won't need to lean a bit of weight on an ineffective organization or bureaucratic nightmare; the fact of the matter is that, often, in these cases, being the squeaky wheel will get you the grease. But, again, you should always do this with as much kindness and respect as possible. Having been on the other side of this in customer service, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you'll get the result you want (or a result) if you just treat people like human beings.

Well, this scammer didn't follow this ethical ideal and paid dearly for it. After submitting fraudulent paperwork, their continued aggression earned him nothing but a lost customer.

'I don't know how to bring up these things': Teenage worker keeps getting scheduled to work when she's not available, seeks advice about confronting boss

Lots of people start working between the ages of 14 to 17, depending on which US state you live in. That's the age when you can finally get your working papers, and join in with your cool friends who have jobs. Then you start a minimum wage shift and it's rough! You start to wonder why you were so eager to start working in the first place. 

This teen has a common problem with holding a job while you're still in high school: the scheduling is insanity. As she writes, she's had to change her schedule a three times in six months. But the OP's boss has continually messed up the schedule and put this woman down for shifts that she can't work, meaning the OP has to switch with other employees to make things work. The OP is now quite frustrated, and asked r/AmItheA**hole what to do about her boss's constant errors.

Witty Work Memes for Weekday Soldiers With a Permanent Case of the Mondays (May 2, 2023)

Have you ever been triggered by a 'work smell' and had a fight-or-flight response because of it? Like when your first job was working at a Baskin Robbins and now the smell of melted ice cream makes you feel like you're getting fired? Or if you ever worked retail, there's that lingering smell of new clothing fibers that sticks in your nose, giving you flashbacks of every Karen trying to return something they got as a Christmas present in 2018. Looking at your current job, what's something that gives you PTSD? If your first thought is "everything", you might have a permanent case of the Mondays. The beginning of the week is something everyone dreads, but seldom understands. Obviously you have to work to pay those bills, but do we really have to right now? The coffee hasn't even kicked in yet and you're expected to flawlessly fill out these spreadsheets as if your manager will actually look at them. Hang in there, weekday soldier, keep repeating those mantras and you can get through this.

'He did not earn all of his good noodle stickers': First grade teacher roasted for excluding one student from class BBQ party

This teacher may not have made the smartest choice here. She decided that it was a good idea to exclude one student from the class BBQ because "he did not earn all of his good noodle stickers." 

 

That's right. She thought it was a smart idea to dangle an exclusionary event for a class of six-year-olds for an entire month. This thread was posted to Reddit by u/Prize-Property-794, and well, the judges of the AITA community were less than kind. Once it was revealed that the one excluded student also had behavioral issues to begin with, it became obvious that the chips were stacked against this student from the start. In what world was he not set up to fail? These aren't high school students who have better control of themselves; these are first graders! As one person in the comments suggested, this teacher needs to find a new job.

'They had to move': Woman gets her neighbors evicted following their excessive complaints

Feuds between neighbors have nothing but losers—the sanctity of existence being continually besmirched by your arch-nemeses constant and continuous close proximity. The persistent presence of something so infuriating is enough to drive even the most level-headed people to insanely petty lengths, which is probably why there is no shortage of stories online where bad neighbors have driven each other to the bitter ends of sanity. 

Apartments can be especially bad for this; with so many people crammed into close quarters, it's only a matter of time until someone starts to get on your nerves or behaves antisocially. 

This apartment tenant shared their story of a terrible neighbor. The problems started when new neighbors moved into the apartment below them and began to submit formal complaints about everything they did in their apartment. 

To be honest, though, if you lived under a shift worker who was getting home after 11 pm and doing their household chores… you might be a little annoyed too… The real villain here is the builders who, to maximize profits, decided that people should live in little boxes with paper-thin walls and barely thicker floors and ceilings.

'As soon as I saw them I lost my temper': Woman screams at fiancé for taking his kids with him on their vacation

This woman is giving major White Lotus energy. She blew up at her fiancé for "ruining their vacation" after a family emergency. She posted this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit and left her judgment up to the ruthless members of the AITA community. They were not kind.

 

The facts are these: the Redditor admittedly yelled at her fiancé for essentially being a good dad and agreeing to take care of his kids after his ex-wife injured herself badly. Who knows? She might have even yelled at him in front of the kids. She does seem to possess that level of entitlement, so anything is fair game. It's wild that she thinks her vacation is more important than his parenting. As one person said in the comments, this will clearly be their first of many fights like this. Keep scrolling below for the full story. For more tales of entitlement, try this post about a student who reported their professor for no good reason.

Viral thread, 'Consider yourself on call': Employer demands employees leave their personal phones on and be contactable at all hours to come into work

The best part of the working day is when you sign off and go home; I don't care how much you love your job… there are no exceptions here. 

Once you've put in your 8, or 9, (or even 10) hours, you're finally free to return to your humble abode,  decompress… and start doing personal chores and obligations. Thanks to the modern workday, there's very little time to get all the things done that you'd like to at home; I'm sure each of us has several projects that we've been putting off due to constraints of time and energy. I, for one, still have to get that veggie garden set up from earlier this year.

Thanks to the boon of technological advances, our ability to remain in contact with our working lives while at home has increased dramatically — while the separation between the two has eroded into near-nothingness.

Well, in a declaration posted to a staff break room, this boss decided to do away with that separation entirely, declaring that all staff were (effectively) on call at all times. Images of the poster went viral today when posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, making this one of the highest trending images on the internet. 

Commenters on r/antiwork were, of course, furious at the proposition of the alleged image, and the post sparked all kinds of debate and conversation around the problems with these types of workplace intrusions on private life.

Speculation seems to be that this image originated from an emergency department staff area — in my searching, I've been unable to find anything to back up this claim or the origins of the image. Although, based on accounts from people who work in these fields, it wouldn't be out of the question, as these sectors have suffered significantly with staffing thanks to recent global events.

'I ran stats on my dating app experiences': Dude creates detailed spreadsheet of app success rate, internet reacts

We all keep lists of our dating experiences in our heads, but this guy did a full analysis. Now, the fact that he reveals he is a 23-year-old straight male is perhaps the least surprising aspect of this Reddit thread. Nevertheless, the statistics and the success rates are still fascinating.

 

Let's start with the fact that across all the apps (he's on Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble), he met with 17 of his 226 matches in person. However, once the first dates actually happened, his success rate is overall pretty high moving forward (64% likely to spend the night together and more statistics you'll find below). The most interesting statistic from our perspective is the particular success rate for Bumble compared to the other apps. This guy has a 100% success rate when it comes to getting someone's phone number after a few messages on that specific app and a 100% success rate when it comes to spending the night with a date from Bumble. Fascinating!

'Come back, I'm speaking to you': Resident tries to tell entitled tourist she's about to get a ticket

"I know the law better than you," insisted the American tourist who was visiting another country. 

Researching a country before you visit is always a good idea. In order to pack the right clothes for the weather, you certainly will need to do some planning. Not to mention if you're going to drive there, it's critical to know about local laws. After all, you can't just go to a country and decide your way is correct, and their way is wrong.

Actually, this Karen thinks that's exactly how you vacation abroad! She was confronted by a local who tried to give her some really important information about her car lights. The entitled traveller not only didn't listen to the local, but then proceeded to insult her! 

Scroll down to read about this person's encounter with an unhinged Karen. Then, these customers thought they were so smart that they could get away with anything… too bad the cashiers ringing them up caught them red-handed. 

'That’s what he gets for cutting you off': Guy recognizes reckless driver in his store, gets revenge by throwing him out

When someone cuts you off on the road, you never imagine you'll get to run into them again. But that's exactly what happened to this guy. He shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and let's just say that we definitely got a vicarious thrill from what transpired.

 

The Redditor works at an axe-throwing venue and on his way to work one day, this other driver flies out of nowhere and the two nearly hit each other. Of course, the other driver accused the Redditor of being at fault when clearly it was the other way around. Cut to a half hour later, the Redditor arrives at work and who does he happen to see? That same reckless driver! Technically, workers are supposed to dismiss any customers who seem dangerous given that this is an axe-throwing place. So the Redditor was able to throw this guy out and ensure that he never comes back again.

'Company ended remote work today': Worker laments the loss of remote working despite record productivity at their company

It's always surprising when decisions directly contradict an organization's stated values and fly in the face of their own data and analytics. Yet, many companies' responses to remote working are exactly that, choosing to return to offices despite increased productivity and record profits. It leads one to wonder… why?

The real answer we'll never know, but it is probably close to what is often theorized in these discussions: Somewhere a manager—who still hasn't adapted to their perceived loss of control—is trying to justify their existence. 

This worker took to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit to share their story and lament the loss of what had been a positive remote working experience. Despite consistently reporting the success and strengths of having a remote workforce, the executives suddenly required all workers to return to the office. The issue is that over the years, workers grew accustomed to remote work, changing their lifestyles and resourcing to be better suited for working from home. Now, with the impending return to office work looming over them, some workers don't know what they're going to do.

Commenters responded to the post, growing the thread into a varied discussion on remote work and the original poster's situation at hand. Some commenters called the move a "stealth layoff" or "quiet layoff"—a nod to last year's trend of "quiet quitting." Others encouraged the original poster to find new work, while others still shared stories of their own.

Keep reading to see a selection of these discussions and some screen grabs of the original thread below. Next, see this working dad who quit after being denied three days of leave three months in advance. 

'Thank God My Son Dodged a Bullet With You': Entitled Karen sends nasty message to son's ex-girlfriend

The audacity of this woman! It's one thing to be thankful your child is no longer in a relationship with someone. It's another to relay that message to your kid's ex a FULL decade later.

 

This Facebook message was included in this thread on Reddit's r/entitledparents subreddit by u/PoopfaceMcPooperson, and let's just say that we feel for this person. Especially when she revealed details about how her ex-boyfriend got the two of them in a literal car accident. She also reveals several other dramatic details in the comments section, so keep scrolling to have a look for yourself! Our big takeaway is that when it comes to Karen Mommies, there is no world in which they realistically come to terms with the possibility that it was their child that may have been in the wrong the whole time. On top of that,  there is no world in which they choose to step back and not weigh in. We feel for the Redditor!

'He left without saying a word': Wildly insecure guy ditches fiancé after learning about her past

This dude is just weak! He left his fiancé and fully ghosted her after learning that she was "popular" among the guys once upon a time. It's not like there was any cheating or any truly scandalous event, but that was enough to make this lame guy leave.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Intelligent_Cup4116, who is the fiancé's sister. She recounted the story from a perspective that also reads as insanely problematic. The fact that there is no evidence of any real wrongdoing besides the fiancé's past "popularity" just goes to show how backward our society is. And say it with me, everyone: if the gender roles were reversed, this would not be happening.

'I told my kids that I was the original Road Runner': 30+ Hilarious anonymous confessions

Let the world know your most secrety secrets, but do it anonymously. This week, we've rounded up the funniest, wildest, and most heartfelt secrets from @fesshole, the Twitter account made just for anonymous confessions. 

These secrets are a fascinating window into the lives of random strangers. Some people confess their relationships icks — one person wrote that they might dump their BF, simply because of his habit of eating pizza with a knife and fork. Others are more embarrassing, like a guy who admitted to eat the wax off of cheese, or someone who confessed to snacking on dog food along with their pup. Maybe every person has at least one weird eating habit that they'd never fess up to IRL. 

Next, this employee has some things to learn about office politics. They offered their boss some constructive criticism, but did so in a pretty awkward way, in front of their colleagues. 

'All right, I've had enough. I quit': Valet employee lets entitled family have it after they blame her for their mess up

One Karen is already a handful, but a family of Karens?!?! It's a wonder how anybody would survive that one their own. It can come in many forms, like a bunch of girlfriends who are also Karens, or a family of Karens where the Karen parents raised their kids to also be parents. It's a hell!sh cycle, but it happens. So how do you survive? One woman on Reddit shared her story of surviving a Karen father and his two Karen daughters. 

She was working as a valet driver and they were part of a bridal party. The Bridal party was a large party and they all had parked valet the night before. The thing is, they didn't tell the valet service that they all needed to leave at 8am the next morning. So when a crowd of people came up early in the morning demanding for their car, things got stressful. The valet employees were obviously surprised by this, but they did their best. It was just the redditor, who has a bad hip, and an old man who can't run. So there was no rushing the job, everyone just had to patiently wait. However, there was one family who felt they were entitled to not wait like everyone else… 

The father of this entitled Karen family starts yelling at the valet employee, blaming her for all of the issues, even though it was all of the bridal party's fault. The other bridal party people waiting didn't say a word, it was just this Karen dad and eventually, his Karen daughters joining in. They were yelling and berating this employee, so finally she just turns to the dad and lets him have if. She does NOT hold back. She finishes off her rant to him with an epic "I quit" and walked out while the Karen family was still yelling at her. They had to wait even longer now for their car. 

Read the entire epic story below. 

'She asked for feedback': Employee offers new boss 'open and honest' critique, boss gets upset

Giving feedback is a delicate skill that this person might not have mastered quite yet. This worried employee wrote to r/AmItheA**hole for some much-needed feedback of his own!

As u/Davetherocker wrote, he has had a new boss for only about four months, but she's experienced in the field. However, she's still finding her footing with the team she's managing, though the OP writes he and the team are supporting her as she learns the ropes. 

The OP's troubles started during a team meeting. It seems very awkward the way he describes it. He writes that at the group meeting, the boss asked for "feedback on her performance," but all of the team members just praised her without actually giving any real criticisms. Now that he's been extra honest in front of the entire team, he's wondering if he made a mistake. 

Next, these food service workers share the funniest things people have ever said to them at the workplace, like one woman who insisted on having vegan deviled eggs. 

'I saw red': Cheapskate boss forces shift supervisors to pay for company pizza parties and refuses to tip, shift supervisors pays them in pettily dispensed pennies

Company pizza parties are, at best, a bandage solution for poor employee morale resulting from poor company culture and worker compensation; shelling out $60 for a few pizzas doesn't suddenly erase months of missed breaks, understaffing, unpaid overtime, and other practices that reek of borderline exploitation.

Yet — this is the go-to solution for so many workplaces that insist that their exploited, exhausted workers are "family" — if that's really how you treat your family… are they still speaking to you?

This boss has somehow managed to take the pathetic attempt of morale boosting up (down?) a notch — by making the managers pay out of pocket each time these pitiful events are held. To make matters even worse, the boss refuses to tip the delivery drivers appropriately, leaving the managers to front that too.

'You burned a bridge': Man would rather catch up on sleep than babysit his nephew, meanwhile the boy's aunt undergoes treatment in the ICU after a potentially fatal car accident

Some people would do pretty much anything for their family. As Dominic Toretto always said, 'The most important thing in life will always be family". Well, for one Redditor, the most important thing in his life, is sleep. And apparently nothing in this world could threatened to deprive him of his 8 hours– not even the near d3ath experience of a family member. 

His brother-in-law, a father of two children, called the sleepy man over Easter weekend desperately asking for a favor. The BIL's sister had been in a potentially fatal car accident and they would need to drive across the state and check in on her, and say their goodbyes, at the hospital over the weekend. Fearing traumatizing their children, they called up Sleepy and asked him if he and his wife could watch them over the weekend. They had never had any issues with babysitting the kids before, but out of the blue, Sleepy refused to help them out in their time of need. 

He claimed that he needed to get his sleep cycle on track for working night shifts and watching a couple kids, his niece and nephew, over the weekend simply wasn't going to help him get the rest he needed. Excuse me? 

Fuming, the BIL  reminded him that he had said one that 'he would do anything for those kids', but apparently taking care of them for 48hrs when it was literally a life or d3ath situation, was not in that wheelhouse. Although Sleepy works in a steel mill, and his biggest excuse for saying no was because he was going to be working nights, we think that he could have risked a couple of days of sleep discomfort in his SIL and BIL's time of need. What do you think?

Update! '[I] unplugged the Wi-Fi': Husband can't get workaholic wife to take a break, sabotages internet connection, faces backlash online

This guy may have lost his chances at winning Husband of the Year. After repeatedly trying to get his pregnant wife - who is described in this Reddit thread as a workaholic - to take a break for her mental and emotional health, he decided he couldn't wait any longer. So he fully unplugged the Wi-Fi and hid the cord.

 

You can imagine that his wife's response was not one of gratitude. Thankfully, according to an update below, it seems like they were able to work things out moving forward. Still, even though his intentions were pure, it ultimately didn't matter. There is no way that unplugging the Wi-Fi without any warning would alleviate his wife's stress. In fact, if anything, he rapidly escalated the situation. Sure, she clearly needs to take better care of herself and needs to work toward finding a better work/life balance, but that's something couples should build together. Forcing that balance through conflict is not going to be productive.

'I put glitter in my friend's laundry': 20+ People share their funniest petty revenge stories

The creativity these people showed while having their own petty revenge moment is so inspiring. When u/trexradar87 asked, "Reddit, what's your best/funniest personal example of petty revenge?," people delivered tons of hilarious stories of pettiness in the workplace, school yard, and more. 

These people who wrote their stories in reply to the post are extremely clever with their solutions. The college kid who pranked their friend by putting glitter in his laundry is a perfect example of a harmless prank with a funny outcome. Other people shared the various ways they wanted to mess with their coworkers, and they clearly put a lot of thought into doing what they thought would torment them the most — like changing the speed of their double-click to mess with them. 

Next up, this entitled influencer decided to inform this restaurant that because she was a mommy blogger, she'd be dining for free that day. 

'I don't wanna be your mommy': Man kicks out gaslighting roommate after he tries to guilt him into cleaning up his dirty dishes

Dirty dishes are the leading cause for roommate breakups. It's not proven or anything, but as anybody who has ever lived with another person knows, the passive aggressive nature of a maintaining a clean home can sometimes lead to horrific strife between you and your housemates. One Redditor recently felt the full force of roomie drama when he received an out-of-the-blue text from his roommate (who is also his older cousin). 

After generously offering his home to his cousin, u/ThisNameWillSaveMe realized the error of his ways when the kitchen started falling into disrepair. Although he thought that he and his cousin could cohabit peacefully, he noticed right away that their definition of "clean" was completely different. OP would find his cousin playing hours and hours of Fortnite while getting higher than a kite in the middle of the day as dishes in the sink piled up. 

To fight the mountain of dishes (and to avoid being implicated in cleaning any mess that wasn't his), OP started using 1 knife, 1 fork, 1 bowl, and one plate, ensuring that he could contain his mess and keep tabs on his own business. The bad roommate never noticed that OP was using scarce supplies in the kitchen and after months of depravity in the sink, he finally had the audacity to blame the OP for his mess. 

He sent a scathing text to him, pointing a finger at the mountain of dirty dishes in the sink and claiming that he wasn't going to 'be his mommy' and clean up after him. Wait what? After living for months on skimped supplies, OP finally snapped and told his older cousin (and charity case) that he was in fact the one creating the mess and do the adult thing and take care of it instead of placing blame on anyone else. 

After a voracious battle via text, OP kicked out the dirty-disher, forcing him to move out and find a place of his own. Now OP can finally have a clean sink, a free couch, and peace of mind. 

'Have fun with unemployment': Karen coworker fires herself by refusing to do her job

When you have a job, it's usually best to do that job if you want to keep it… Not get embroiled in a war of petty acts against a coworker who wanted no part in that war in the first place. If you choose the latter pathway, you need to be prepared for any consequences that follow.

Redditor u/Peach_Gfuel shared this story to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit about their coworker who insisted on getting revenge on them for a perceived slight. u/Peach_Gfuel had previously worked for the Quality Assurance team that Karen transferred to, a team that was responsible for ensuring that the rest of the company was delivering to the company's standards.

Karen saw her chance to end the one-sided feud once and for all… and using her newfound QA powers she sought to get her nemesis fired, not realizing that this would be her downfall.

Read on for this brilliant tale of a workplace dispute between coworkers. Next, check out this worker who was sick of their "office prankster" coworker.

'Thieves!!!': Doordasher witnesses a customer getting banned from the app after they try to pull a poorly executed scam

As a Doordash delivery driver, you're privy to a very special kind of customer abuse. As the middle man of a much larger money-grabbing scheme, you often get blamed for pretty much everything from all angles. Food is cold? Your fault. Unresponsive to texts while driving? Blamed. Delivered to the address provided but it's somehow the wrong address? Definitely your responsibility 

*HUGE EYE ROLL* 

…Not only that, but because of the exorbitant fees and ridiculous extravagance of getting food delivered to your house from any restaurant, Doordash users are also notoriously terrible tippers. There's no winning here. 

One delivery driver recently witnessed justice take place when a customer tried to blame him for a lost order. As a seasoned delivery man, u/k-kat93 had delivered to this particular customer before– it was particularly memorable because of the cop car parked in the driveway and the soccer mom sticker on the SUV. After a pretty routine drop off, where he took the food straight to the door, took a photo and bounced, Kat received a notification 15 minutes later that the food was never delivered and he was about to get in trouble for it. No way!

Kat didn't want to put his reputation on the line for a lie, so he informed the customer that he'd left the food like he always did at the address provided. They got snippy in their responses to him, so he contacted customer service to handle the problem, hoping to avoid a bad review that might tarnish his star ratings. 

After explaining the situation to customer service, Kat waited with dread, expecting a bad review or even a write up from the company… but there was nothing. Eventually he went to go check his DM's with the customer and saw that the entire conversation was unreachable, as if their account no longer existed. 

In their attempt to scam Doordash for some free food by blaming the driver, they got themselves banned from the app completely. Justice is a dish delivered cold.
