'The poor soul unwittingly brewed a cup of lava': Colleague triumphs over the office coffee thief, bamboozling him with a spicy elixir of brewed habanero, wasabi, and jalapeño

Pranks in the workplace are often frowned upon, but when it comes to petty revenge, perhaps there's an exception. We all loved the high school pranks where the seniors would streak, saran wrap the school staircases, or fill the entire art room with cups of jell-o, but when you're an adult, things start to get a little spicier in the prank department. One man, a coffee lover with with a caffeine addiction and a hard-pressed nerve for revenge...

'He didn't believe me': Older coworkers stunned to find out how much man is paying in rent, sparks vigorous discussion about housing

'I had to kick out my cousin during my ceremony for crying': Bride cuts off cousin after she causes wedding pandemonium

An entitled parent just cannot believe the world doesn't revolve around her and her kids. As u/FlounderEffective819 shared in a shocking story, she was excited for her wedding, but was insistent that the big day should be child free . All the OP wanted was a special moment with her husband as she walked down the aisle. That's a pretty normal thing to want at a wedding reception, but one of the OP's family members, who has three young children, didn't take the “no kids” rule very well. It seems…

'You make me late going home? Enjoy [cleaning] the kitchen': Overnight hotel desk employee gets revenge on her colleague for being consistently 45 minutes late

Overnight shifts are brutal. You clock in at midnight and go home when the rest of the world is just starting to wake up.

'I was flabbergasted': Interviewer calls candidates current employer without asking

The usual decorum for interviews is that of subtlety—and for good reason. The fact that you're looking for other work is one that you'd probably prefer your employer wasn't aware of. Their gut reaction could very well be to fire you and secure the future of their business and the security of their company. Now, jobless, the job you were applying for now has much higher bargaining power over you than they held previously. For this reason, it's usually an unspoken rule that an interviewer As an a…

So, that's why Uncle Carl looks different to Aunt Suzy, who looks way different from Cousin John. It turns out they're the p…
