Hair stylists do an amazing job at making you look your best, but they aren't miracle workers. Not every hairstyle can be accomplished in one day, as this customer found out. Apparently, one recent hair trend has been women who want to have Kim Kardashian's long silvery-gray hair. What they don't know is that it's most likely a wig…and their own hair will take a lot of processing to achieve the same color as Kim. At least these women know what style they want for their hair! It's always good to…

It should be required to permit sitting down when needed for any and all jobs.

If you've never gotten fired, have you even lived? I remember the absolute shame and frankly, heartbreak (I was 16, and very dramatic) I felt when I was called by a manager and promptly fired after being accused of fighting with his wife on the job. The story goes as such: I was looking for a job while I was in high school. I was not a very good student and didn't attend any of my classes, so there were weeks I would stay at home, instead of going to school, and boy was it boring . Eventually,…

Traveling can take its toll on the senses. After twelve hours cramped into a flying tube net to a snoring odorant stranger, you arrive at your hotel only to discover that you've been booked into a room next to a family of unruly children whose shouting and banging on the shared wall threatens to sever your last thread of sanity. To make matters worse, you're right across the hall from the ice and vending machines, and each time either is dispensed, it's as if each cube of ice, each soda, is dro…

This person learned an interesting tip from about getting what you want as a guest. As u/badgermann writes, their wife worked at the “central switchboard for a group of resort hotels in a tourist area." While you're vacationing, you want everything to run smoothly. Instead of dealing with the humdrum of daily life, all you really want is to be sprawled out on the beach with a good book and no responsibilities whatsoever. However, if you have traveled on vacation even a single time, you know tha…

It seems like managers are always skeptical about whether or not their employees are actually sick. Perhaps it's a worker's inherent guilt of leaving your team in a bind with your absence, but most likely it's because managers don't trust their staff. Truth is, most people only have a handful of PTO to use per year, so workers would rather show up ill to the office once or twice a year instead of forgoing their 2 week trip to Bermuda.

The workplace presents itself with many challenges... Chief among them being painful social interactions with the dreaded coworker . Take, for example, Trish, who brings her needlessly pungent soup every day for lunch. The soup smells as if it has been assembled with broth made by soaking the feet of aged retirement home inhabitants before distilling the soaking to carefully concentrate the very essence of foot odor. Trish heats her foot soup in the kitchen microwave daily, where its putrid sce…

There are some ridiculous demands that employees simply should not have to put up with at work. For instance, if you are guaranteed a certain amount of vacation days, there shouldn't be any sort of “quid pro quo” agreement involved. If those days are guaranteed per the employee's contract, there should be no negotiation whatsoever. This Redditor shared a story about how his new boss, who just so happens to be the CEO's

'The apple doesn't fall from the tree' does not only apply to family situations but also to friends. People say that if you look at a person's friends, you'll know who they are, but that isn't always the case. See, even when you are lucky enough to land a house with good neighbors, their guests aren't always so polite. In this case, u/cycloscott dealt with the usual, run-of-the-mill Karen, after finding his entire driveway blocked thanks to her and her husband parking their car on it. OP approa…

The entire point of a quality control officer in a manufacturing plant is to ensure that the products aren't defective. Literally, the only reason this checkpoint exists is to weed out terrible products and prevent them from going to the client. So what is a QC employee supposed to do when their boss tells them to stop doing their job? Maliciously comply of course.

Screenshots are king. These are the only irrefutable evidence that can shut down any argument in the blink of an eye– there's no need for anymore he-said/she-said, we've got all the proof we need right here. Usually in people's love life, screenshots can demolish a toxic relationship in an instant, but in the workplace, a well-timed screenshot can save your hide… and your career.

This guy had an interesting reaction to being pulled over by police . As police officers approached this dude's vehicle, they informed him that he was about to get a ticket. The price of the ticket is a mere $10, which is probably the cheapest ticket I've ever heard of. But nevertheless, this guy began to freak out, all while the passenger next to him stares ahead in silence. There's no amount of cash that's worth tearing up for this reason. However, the driver justifies the decision by insisti…

Mom-fluencers are objectively the worst. Half the time, they're the type of parents that film their child's tantrums to teach their 20,000 followers how to manage meltdowns, but in real life they're forgetting to give their kid any genuine attention, they're late to pick them up from school because they were live-streaming at Target, and they're the parent that would rather get those likes instead of putting a bandaid on their kiddo's scraped knee.

Gen X , these memes are just for you. You're in the baby bust generation, sometimes called the MTV generation , of people who were born between the years of 1965-1980. Your boomer parents probably raised you to be independent and take care of yourself in life, allowing you to spend all day outside with your friends. You came home when the sun set — no helicopter parenting for your generation! Now that Gen Xers are in their late 30s to 50s, they're becoming parents and grandparents themselves. T…

It's not exactly easy to play it cool in a situation like this. Picture this: you wake up one morning and you scroll on social media for a bit. Then, you complete your lazy morning routine by checking out your dating app matches and messages. You start to message someone new, you exchange witty texts, and you agree to catch up later because you both have to get ready for work. You then check in with the person you had already been messaging for quite some time now because the two of you have a…

Don't miss these waving red flags during your next job interview. It just might save you from wasting your time at a job that treats you terribly! One time, I went to a job interview that seemed a smidgen suspicious. The interviewer gave me the wrong interview time — midnight instead of noon — but I thought maybe it was just a chance for me to prove that I had a sharp eye for catching errors. Then, after the actual interview (at noon, not midnight), the place hired me within about twenty minute…
