Kids these days are getting iPads earlier and earlier. It's the easy way to entertain your little kiddo. You can plop them on the floor, set them up with a Cocomelon YouTube video, and fold the laundry while they watch. Other kids love their iPad games—kids love to show you their Roblox games or play Candy Crush for hours on end. It's unnerving to see a one or two-year-old playing on an iPad like a grown adult. They can't even walk yet, but they know how to swipe through TikToks or click on the…

Who doesn't love a neighborhood saga where the clever ones win in the end? Let this story serve as a friendly reminder to you that if you ever find yourself engaged in a neighborly feud, be sure to find an ally. Strength in numbers is a real phenomenon. This story involves a grandfather who, after retiring, decided to in a relatively remote village on a literal mountain. Talk about going off the grid! He made friends with the older lady next door, but their crazy neighbor started giving the gra…

Different countries have different benefits that can appeal to their citizens. In some countries, it is extremely affordable to buy a house, in some countries the average salary allows citizens to live comfortably for most of their lives, and some countries have great healthcare plans that put citizens' minds at ease. The US is not great when it comes to the latter, and many American citizens daily worry about their health because they simply cannot afford to go to a doctor, probably like the p…

Do you remember your first job? You probably washed dishes at a restaurant, stocked shelves in the mall, or scooped ice cream from your local sweets shop. It wasn't glamorous, but every two weeks, your paycheck would come, which (as a teenager) meant that you were rolling in riches! Even if the bottom line on your paystub was only a couple hundred bucks, you felt like a king. Nowadays, a couple hundred bucks doesn't go very far does it?

Food delivery is one of those great modern inventions that's only getting better over time. In decades past, you could order a pizza or some Chinese food over the phone. But these days, you can order almost anything and get it delivered to your house with just a few taps on your phone. This kind of technology has opened up a world of possibilities for the average person. Instead of having a few options to choose from, nearly every restaurant is on the food delivery apps, including fast food pla…

Don't mess with people if you don't have the means to back it up. One rich boss inherited a lot of money from his ancestors, which he slowly but surely dwindled away by making avoidable mistakes at work. He had a company, but he had no idea how to lead his employees, and even though most people went along with it, one employee didn't. This person, who we'll call OP, kept calling the boss out for his mistakes and took the lead so that the boss's decisions wouldn't lead to chaos. Well, you can im…

This family seems like they might need to clear some things up before their next dinner party. After marrying his wife, the Original Poster (OP) noticed his mother-in-law was always urging him to save his money. At first, he thought she was just looking out for him. It turns out that she actually plans to have her son-in-law fund her and her husband's retirement since they have no savings themselves. The entitled Boomer mother-in-law accidentally let this information slip when the family was al…

Some bosses think that they have certain rights and privileges that they simply do not possess. This employee was entitled to their PTO time, they submitted their request months in advance, and their request was approved. Everything was good to go, flights were booked, and a much-needed vacation was planned. That is, until the boss decided last minute that he could reject those plans and go back on his word, all so another coworker could take off that same week. We understand losing two employe…

Although we all put it on our resume, most of us don't work very well under pressure. We may brag about our ability to procrastinate for higher productivity or our ability to get along with pushy management, but truthfully, nobody likes being forced to do something–especially if you have a moronic micromanager garnishing your every move to the point of scrutiny.

If you can't laugh while you're on your 11th trip to the hardware store in one day, then you won't survive the project.

Another day, another greedy landlord trying to collect.

When you've been in the workforce long enough, you know that what the boss says, goes, no matter how hard you might roll your eyes about it. In some jobs, you have bosses that make you question how they ever got the job in the first place. They're the boss who constantly does things that seem wrong in the eyes of the other employees. Sometimes it might seem like they have their priorities so backward, as was the case with this person, u/RScommitted. They shared this great story of malicious com…

As summer approaches, people seem to getting more and more desperate on dating apps. Seriously, if these screenshots of dating app conversations serve as any indication, then it's quite clear that a lot of y'all are looking for something to materialize as soon as possible. That something could be a committed relationship, an uncommitted situationship, or something in that confused middle-ground territory a few bizarre people seem to enjoy. Many of these conversations include misinterpretations…

This customer tried to get some petty payback on a company that he felt had wronged him. It didn't end well for him! Customers tend to fall into two groups when they've been wronged by an establishment. Let's say for example a customer buys a product, and it's faulty, and they try to return it. The store refuses and won't budge. The customer may get so irate that they declare, “I'm never coming back here ever again!” Here's where the two groups come into play: some of those people mean it, and…

This workplace debacle pretty much epitomizes the idea that HR protects the employer, not the employees. When the evidence of wrongdoing is so definitive, it's hard to imagine the human resources department coming up with a justified reason to side with the boss. However, this team managed to side with her anyway. Here, we have an employee who caught her boss stealing her bag after work hours. Furthermore, the security cameras even captured the boss leaving the office with the employee's bag an…

Once I had a very incompetent coworker who was just the nicest person to walk the face of the earth. Seriously, it was so hard to be angry at her for not doing her job well because she was always so chipper and thoughtful. Much like Lucy in this story. One employee took to r/talesfromtechsupport to share a story about their coworker, Lucy, who began working as a HelpDesk technician at a financial company. They did password resets, fixed Windows issues, and basically did all of the tech stuff re…
