Worst April Fool's joke ever!

Appearances are important—in any part of life. The first impression someone makes of you will largely be based on how they perceive you before you've ever even had any interaction with them. This, of course, is one of the first things that you'll be told by your parents, guardians, or other older persons who have a vested interest in your life and success. You'll likely hear and read this advice repeatedly throughout your life from teachers, bosses, strangers—and even in short introductory para…

It takes an absurd amount of patience and tenacity to work in customer service as at times it really seems like the clients are out to get you. However, as any seasoned customer service professional will tell you (from experience, of course), there is no one in the world worth jeopardizing your job for. The next story comes from a frustrated worker who is eager to get home. The Original Poster (OP) is a convenience shop employee who closes shop at precisely ten o'clock every night. But on this…

Watching someone get a taste of their own medicine is a rare occurrence, but when it happens, you have to savor the moment. This is especially true for petty revenge on annoying coworkers. It’s not every day you get to see that person suffer the consequences of their own actions. Most of the time, you just have to smile, nod, and ignore them while you quietly imagine all the ways their behavior might come back to bite them on the behind. However, when your annoying coworker has actively wronged…

Have you ever heard the famous phrase 'Patience is a virtue'? Even if you haven't, it is not that hard of a sentence to understand–having patience is a good trait to have. You would think that it also would not be so hard to act accordingly and have patience in your day-to-day life. But that is often not the case. Especially when it comes to the neighbors in this Reddit story. OP (original poster), has a ring camera that records the front of their house, to make sure no one steals their package…

The job search is tough, and it can be quite a lengthy process too. But once you finally nail a few rounds of interviews for a job you really want, you can feel on top of the world. The only part left is negotiating your contract. In the case of this new hire, she was only looking for a job to help pay for childcare, and she was really honest about that with her new employer. The worst part is that her employer promised her at least $1,200 a paycheck, given that the company had a commission-bas…

Have you ever been jonesing for a coffee so much that you lash out against hotel staff, risking your reputation, well-being, and your livelihood? Yeah, me neither. While coffee beans are delicious and revitalizing, they can also turn hotel guests into bitter Betty's, keen on taking their frustrations out on the staff.

No one gets through teenagehood without some unbelievably cringe moments . If you got to grow up in the ages before social media, count your blessings. Today’s kids, meaning the Gen Alpha and Gen Z-ers of the world, will have all of their teenage follies on the internet forever. Even before social media, though, a lot of people had their cringiest teen moments in front of crowds of other teens. Some of these cringemasters were love-sick teenagers who thought the best way to tell their crush the…

If HOAs want to enforce pointless rules, then they better be prepared for people to expose just how pointless said rules are. Here, we have a guy who just wanted to paint his house a light green color but did not realize that the HOA had to approve the color. When the head of the HOA came by to discuss the paint job, he purposely left out this reminder so that the resident could later be fined for not complying. That’s when the resident decided to get petty in return. He proceeded to submit doz…

Funny enough, this bowling alley has a three-strike rule for their worst-behaved customers. Bowling is a great way to pass the time for people of all ages. This person, u/Emmisbaby, works at a bowling alley in a college town, so at times, their customers get a little rowdy. It seems like every time you go bowling, there's at least one lane that can't act right. They're hooting and hollering at the top of their lungs; they're rolling the bowling baIIs way too hard into the guard rails as the lan…

In fact, at most, these mom…

One very lucky individual who was working as a boss in corporate took to Reddit to complain about their ‘amazing job’. On the surface, their job seemed like a dream come true. They explained they had unparalleled autonomy, generous perks, and a handsome salary. So what's wrong? Well, this person was deeply dissatisfied as they felt like just another cog in the machine, and weren't able to help their own employees when it came to raises. Each year the employees were shut down and told they weren…

This responsible citizen was browsing through Zillow when he stumbled upon something odd. He noticed a house that was clearly a flip due to the short amount of time between its original purchase date and its relisting for sale (around two months in total). It was obvious that no one was residing in the house. Still, the house flippers were attempting to pull a fast one on the community by listing the property as a primary residence despite that it clearly was not.

Before online shopping , you had to buy from the stores around you, and just hope they had that thing you wanted. These days, the internet serves us hyper-specific ads, and whatever you want, you can get it in any color, from anywhere in the world. But if you want to give your money to someone closer to home, there are always online marketplaces , like Craigslist, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace. Facebook Marketplace in particular has gained a reputation or two. It's a great place to buy things-…

Dealing with needless paperwork and bureaucratic annoyances is just a part of working for an organization. Chances are the larger the organization, the more they're going to have a strong attachment to arduous processes and ever-increasing stacks of paperwork. There are other factors, too; depending on how controlling and pedantic each manager up the chain of command is, you might end up with more or less paperwork than the expected amount for your organization. If the biggest baddest boss love…

A job that is based on incentives and commissions is not that hard to comprehend. The better you do at your job–the more money you get out of it. Simple math. Especially when it comes to a sales job. The more you sell, the more you get paid. If an employer takes away the incentives and commissions, well, that is also simple math, no incentives to sell more–less sales. This is something that the employer in this Reddit story should have realized before he decided to talk to his employees. One of…
