'You gotta risk it to get the biscuit' may be one of the greatest tropes of all time for risk-takers, go-getters, and people who are known for absolutely sending it. Like the football legends of yore, skydivers on their first solo flight, or the self-proclaimed ‘disruptors’ of the world, this phrase is a basically a commandment. However, what is the proverbial 'biscuit' even worth these days? Is it worth your life?

If there's one thing that every organization on this earth loves… it's stupid strict rules that have no business existing in the first place—usually coming from a middle manager who decided to write and enact a new policy without ever asking others with more insight and experience for their input. Bonus space on the bingo card here for this manager also being someone either freshly promoted on a power trip or brand new to the organization and trying to look like they're doing an effective job a…

This guy's boss really entered his villain era, didn't he?

What is right is wrong, and vice versa… in other words, there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, although there will be plenty who will disagree with that bold statement. The thing is, everything in this world is pretty much subjective, and we've invented morals to create some sort of order in society. Consequently, discerning what is truly right and what is wrong becomes an arduous endeavor. However, the rampant prevalence of extreme opinions has fostered the emergence of the dreaded phenomenon known a…

If you're keeping files on your work computer that you really shouldn't be keeping on your work computer, it would be foolish to complain when those files mysteriously disappeared during a scheduled security wipe… It would probably be best at that point to cut your losses and hope that whichever poor IT guy had to delete them either didn't see them or never mentioned a word about it to anyone. But, if you're keeping files like this on your work computer in the first place, good judgment clearly…

This guy created a nightmare scenario at this lawyers' office – but at least they got a good laugh out of it! Every couple going through a divorce is different, and this couple unfortunately went through a “heated divorce/custody battle." As u/FederalAnt9 wrote to r/MaliciousCompliance, their ex kept demanding more and more money — she thought that the OP was stashing money away elsewhere, while the OP could barely afford food each day. While the lawyer didn't necessarily mean to hassle this pe…

There's a silent code of conduct people should have with their neighboring coworkers, and when someone breaks that code of conduct, things are bound to become toxic very quickly. Surprisingly enough, there are countless ways in which coworkers can break said code of conduct. Just check out this r/AskReddit thread for your reference. Some of these coworkers should not only be fired for their behavior, but also they should be barred from ever being able to walk into a collaborative work environme…

Seeing these badly designed items really makes you appreciate the well-designed things in the world. Great design is one of those things you don't always appreciate right away. For example, anyone could make a chair, but is it comfortable? If the design of that furniture is poor, you're going to know right away. The same goes for funny signs , which can sometimes spell out funny words unintentionally. Or maybe it's intentional, and the sign maker is just hoping for the right person to notice th…

If there's one thing you can expect from an unqualified nepo baby, it's that they will likely do their job incorrectly.

What are you to do if you happen to move into a place with a level-10 Karen neighbor? A level-10 Karen means she has already surpassed leaving passive aggressive notes, attempts to break into your house like she owns it, and now even the police know not to take anything she says seriously. Unfortunately, she only does just enough to threaten you, but not quite enough to actually get arrested. So what do you do? For one TikToker and her family, this meant war. A family—a wife, husband, and 5-yea…

Who wants to be sitting on an airline for longer than they have to? Well—due to Southwest's unique seating arrangement, where no seats are assigned, and all seats are first-come-first-serve, the less honest among us are hugely incentivized to vie for priority boarding without having to fork out extra for it. The way people do this is by asking for a wheelchair before they arrive at their gate, which qualifies them for priority boarding from the airline. This frustrated passenger hit out against…

“Red flags start appearing from the very first minute I arrive,” this employee wrote in one jaw-dropping workplace story.

When you're planning an extended vacation, any mindful adult considers what they'll do with their pet and what they need to do to prepare their animal for their absence. One Karen recently proved to be the most unprepared pet owner in the vet clinic when she tried to skip the 20 person waiting list after procrastinating too long to make an appointment.

Businesses and their owners take on more of the risk and, in return, take more of the reward, paying workers a small portion of the value of their production and taking the rest for providing the means. This is the basis of a capitalist system and the argument used by your boss for why he's not giving you a raise, despite the fact that he himself just bought another new Porsche and vacations in Monaco every summer. It's true; when you're working for a business instead of starting your own, ther…

Aunt Karen never seems to learn her lesson.
