Most of us can count our closest friends on one hand… meanwhile, this extroverted bride has 25 close friends ! If you have 25 friends or more, that's probably normal. If you're the extroverted type who befriends everyone you come across, you might have dozens of people you call your friends. When it comes to wedding planning, it's hard to narrow down that list of friends to include the ones you want to attend your big day. One bride who wrote in to r/AmItheA****** is going to have a lot of deci…

Thankfully, this family had enough of a sense of humor for this prank to be fodder for laughter down the road. Not every family member has the ability to laugh at some family business sabotage. Personally speaking, I know my family would not be laughing. I once did the classic clear wrap April Fools prank on my mother when I was a kid and she still hasn't forgiven me to this day. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/bigjoekennedy , who revealed that as a kid,…

What the customer wants, the customer gets. That's the rule of the land at one company, but this person's boss had them take that idea way too far. Companies make their employees go through the hiring process . They read their resumes, make sure they have a college degree, and reach out to references. Then, when that highly qualified employee actually does start their job, the company doesn't care about their qualifications one bit. It must be infuriating, especially for people who are talented…

Who knew that the best way to get back at your frat bro neighbor would be to play nursery rhymes and children's music? This dude was no longer in college and was blasting loud beats late at night during the work week. In short, he was the kind of selfish human we frequently tear down on this site. This Redditor tried everything to politely and calmly tell him to quiet down, to no avail of course. After a failed conversation and a fully ignored note on his door, she realized that the only way to…

Count your blessings, parents

What will it take for managers to wake up? Do all their most experienced employees need to walk out the door for them to agree to a raise? Getting ahead with inflation today is hard, but companies are making it so much harder by underpaying you and expecting you to just take it. Well, let's collectively say ‘no more’ to silence, because this is getting ridiculous. One employee was working at a manufacturing company, making way less than his coworkers. He was frustrated after he saw other people…

This manager could only do one thing: sink every department he was put in charge of. As much fun as it probably is to hire a bunch of your friends to work with you, that strategy is going to come with some drawbacks. Next up, these people had some completely awful meals at the weddings they attended, like one person who had to eat “plain boiled chicken with no seasonings.”

Being cautious and conscientious about where you're buying property is extremely important. Ensuring that you're aware of any zoning, environmental hazards, or other possible issues ensures that you're going to not only make a good investment but enjoy a peaceable existence in your new home as well. Future-proofing is important too. Of course, you can't control all eventualities, but the last thing you want to do is get caught out, unaware that you were buying next to a plot of land that could…

A neighborly dispute might develop into a vicious rivalry or just harmless fun. Whatever the situation, though, nobody can deny that it makes for a fantastic story in the end. The story that follows is an account of a frustrated neighbor. The Original Poster (OP) relays the time that his neighbor unintentionally sparked a neighborhood conflict over a trash can. In other words, the neighbors, who served as the community's ‘garbage police’, decided when every single resident of the street had to…

What is the value in enforcing who gets to have a cup of coffee in the office? The only potential answer to that question is for a toxic manager to be able to flex his muscles and enforce his sense of authority for literally no reason other than to do just that. This time, we have a manager who did not like how his employee offered interview candidates a cup of coffee, as they were not present in the office for “whole day events.” So, he went ahead and enforced this absolutely bogus rule.

Unpaid internships should not be a thing. No matter how small the job that they are doing, if it is a job, they should be getting paid for it. The whole concept of unpaid internships only allows employers to take advantage of young people who desperately need to gain experience in order to get a real job, and that's just wrong. Employers can afford to pay them even a minimum hourly rate, instead of bossing them around for nothing whatsoever. This is why I was extremely proud of the intern in th…

Time may be a construct, but it's the same for everybody. We're all bound by the 60 minutes every hour and the 24 hours in a day–and when you're paid by the hour and working on a strict schedule, time becomes law. For the retail employee in our next story, time became more than just a means to collect their paycheck, it became a great way to get payback on a salty micromanager.

If you think your boss is goofy, just wait until you hear about how other peoples' bosses act.

Who wouldn't react this way? Sometimes, people will mistreat you so egregiously that you have no choice but to drop all the niceties and call this person out point blank. That's exactly what happened to this Redditor , who worked in a body shop and had expressed to his manager over several years that he wanted the opportunity to take over for painting when his much older coworker inevitably retires. The promotion would not only result in a pay raise, but it was also far more in line with what t…

Oh man, some of these influencers are acting weird. Luckily for us, their friends are ready to tell the internet all about their odd habits, bad communication skills, and tendencies to film every little thing. The more that social media leeches into real life, the more it feels like The Truman Show, as people have recently been discussing on socials. Though there are a lot of people who run social media pages out of passion, a lot of other folks are just trying to make a quick buck. It's so str…

Talk about a humiliating dining experience! This patron had an unfortunate emergency that required a relatively long trip to the bathroom. The trip took so long, in fact, that his server began to think he dined and dashed because he took his things with him. It turns out the customer elected to grab his things because he didn't want his stuff to be “out in the open” while he was gone for what he instinctively could tell would be more than just a minute. Well, the server decided the matter was s…
