Cats are serenity machines. Yes, they might catch the zoomies every once in a while, but generally they are a calming force of nature, making you want to plop where you are the take a nap while cuddling them. What can we do, cats are just cute and cuddly like that, it's irresistible. If we could be a cat, we would also be as chill and calm as they are, napping here and there, napping wherever we want. But we are not a cat, unfortunately, so next best thing we can do is grab our chill cat and simply chill with them.

A lot of other cat pawrents were asked to provide the interwebs with their chill cats simply chilling, as cats do. The most serene and calm vibe is shown in all its chilling glory. Cats chill is ameowzing, and we think we're going to grab our cat and take a long and calming nap right now. Bye.

If you're anything like us, fellow cat pawrents, the hardest part of your day is saying goodbye to your cute kitties as you leave for work (unless you work from home, in which case your cats are probably sick of you). The thought of them being alone for so long is like a stab in our cat-shaped hearts, but someone has to be able to pay for all that tuna they love, right? But you know what they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder, as if we could love our cats any more than we do already.

This listicle is filled with a loving litter of cats wholesomely waiting for their hoomans to return from work, with all of the furtatstically fuzzy faces, fluffy expressions, and cuteness overload you can expect from our feline friends. They certainly put us in a good mewd, and we think they will do the same for you. Enjoy!

Sunday morning. Fall vibes. Warm blankets. Cold outside, but not freezing. Extra cuddly cats. No alarm clock, fewer cars on the roads, and the whole entire day to do whatever we want to do, even if it means scrolling through cat memes all day long. Especially if it means that. What a spectacular way to wake up. Sigh, we wish every day could be such a cozy Sunday. But it is not. And that's okay. It just means that we have to make the best out of this Sunday Funday, and in the ICHC world, that means starting the day with a whole bunch of pawsome cat memes. 

Let's be real, starting any day by giggling at cat memes would be a good thing for everyone. Might improve the whole world if everyone had some more silly cat memes in their lives. So, enjoy these memes, friends, and have a lovely day.

Office drama really hits differently when it's the new hire stirring the pot. In this story, we've got a pretentious new hire who thinks the world revolves around her. And when it doesn't, she makes sure everyone hears about it. She asked a coworker to ride with her to a celebratory work dinner because, apparently, driving alone is just too much for her. (It makes you wonder how she manages to commute every day, doesn't it?) The coworker, who already had plans to ride with someone else, politely declined. 

That "someone else" he was riding with offered her a seat in his car, too. But in a classic "make it about me" move, she refused. So, she decided to try driving herself, only to claim she got too anxious halfway there and had to pull over and call an Uber home. The next day, she waltzed into the office, pointing fingers and accusing her coworker of excluding her. But our guy stood his ground. He didn't cave to the whining or let her play the victim. He let her know straight up that she excluded herself.

If you're going to lie to your boss, you'd better be careful about it. It's really risky: if things go wrong and your boss or colleagues find out you fibbed, you risk not only losing your job, but losing your career. In some industries, word travels fast, and jobs aren't going to hire someone they've heard bad things about. Losing your integrity means people will see you in a different light. 

Still, to some employees, it's just not that serious. Taking a sick day to visit the beach with your friends might seem like a perfect idea in the moment. After all, your manager is in the office, how would they ever find out you're soaking up the sun? Well, a single social media post tagging you in a beach picture could out you. Or if you mention it to a colleague who isn't trustworthy, that could get you in hot water, too. 

These people had coworkers who called out of work for some absolutely hilarious reasons, which you can read below. Then, read about the super petty ways that fast food workers got back at their worst customers, like one person who put so many onions on a hamburger that the "look on [the customer's] face when she opened that burger was priceless." 

A dress code? At work? Y'all are lucky I'm even here.

This employee was decidedly opposed to his boss's strict suit policy but found a clever way to overrule his outdated rulings. 

If you work somewhere with a mandated dress code, that will either bring your morning routine to a halt every morning or deprive you of your freedom to express yourself with your aesthetic. Unsurprisingly, most employees see a work dress code as a hindrance, viewing their suit-clad boss as a corpo baboon instead of an innovator. In recent years, it's not the best dressed in the room who's the most powerful and influential. Most likely, the richest guy in the room is the dude in a white t-shirt a nice pair of jeans, and a $40,000 understated watch on his wrist. 

After years of working for a strictly suited company, u/mdlapla, and his coworker buddies had to sit through a mandated meeting about the importance of 'suiting up'. Yuck. Although I'm no stranger to dressing well in the morning to make a good impression, having a dusty old manager tell me how to do so through an instructional video is one way to ensure I'll be digging my heels in on the matter–which is exactly what this snarky employee did to undermine his boss. 

What would it take for you to abandon a friend's wedding? 

Weddings take months of careful planning and organization. It's not usually just the brides or grooms planning the event: often their friends will pitch in with expenses or planning group events. It takes some of the pressure off of the engaged couple, and it can be a fun time for everyone involved. Well, in theory it's a fun time. As u/plogan56 can tell you, not every bridesmaid or groomsman event turns out as planned. 

There's an immense amount of pressure on women to not only get married, but to create a literally perfect day that they'll remember forever. So it makes sense that some people crack under this pressure. They forget that everyone else has their own life problems going on: they're not just available to cater to the bride or groom's every whim. This bride took things way too far, and she only found out when it was too late to turn things around. 

Up next, have a laugh at some of the ways fast food workers got back at their most irritating customers, like one burger chain employee who'd put all the burger toppings on one side on the sandwich.

Happy Caturday, I Can Has-ers! The weekend is here, which means we get to unwind and spend some time at home with our loved ones, i.e. our purrecious cats! Part of the reason we love being home is that we get to witness the silly things they do all day, which is highly pawmusing.

But you know that moment, where things are a little too quiet around the house? That moment when you realize you haven't seen those little fuzzballs in a while and wonder where they are? We all know it means someone's in trouble.

Usually, it means they've destroyed something valuable (we're still crying over that expensive eyeshadow palette that mysteriously ended up shattered on the floor of our bedroom). But these people looked for their kitties and found them stuck in purrty weird places.

Naturally, they took pictures of their silly cats, which means we get to enjoy them!

Some jobs seem like great opportunities in theory, but in practice, things can go awry pretty quickly. 

Here, we have a social media strategist who was hired by a boutique dentist's office and was tasked with making video content for his new boss. However, after requesting a W2 on day one, his new employer kept delaying drawing up any paperwork. It became crystal clear to the new hire that this was not going to work out, as he was putting in over 40 hours a week and still had not had the opportunity to sign that initial paperwork. Additionally, it wasn't worth the commute, gas, and tolls every day. So when he confronted his boss about his imminent departure, the dentist tried to make payment a front desk issue. 

Keep scrolling below to see how the employee dug his heels into the ground and refused to go away until he was properly compensated for those two weeks. For more content like this, check out this post about this new tutor's poor hours.

Being a hardworking hooman is a tough job in itself, and unfortunately it means that you are not left with a lot of time to enjoy the things that make life worth living. For example, you might have found that you were so busy this week that you did not have time to watch your favorite reality show, or perhaps your excess at work meant that you missed paintball with your peers. But worst of all is if your work is so all consuming that you find yourself without time to catch up on your favorite felines. Which is why we made this list full of our favorite feline funnies from the past week for hardworking hoomans such as yourself who missed out on their daily feline fix throughout the working week.

From the introvert cat who tried its best to camouflage itself amongst the towels to avoid being bothered, to the clever cat who knew that the best way to have fun on its day off is to stay in bed for as long as possible, to silly catto who pretends to be his brother's shadow just by closing its eyes.

Why is it, that signing up for a subscription is so much easier than canceling it? It's a money-grab tactic practiced by big corporations, where they are in most cases legally protected from folks demanding refunds left and right because they didn't read the fine print. Another tactic is giving consumers a free trial for a week, then failing to remind them that they're about to be billed X amount of dollars for the month or year. It's a headache and a half, especially when they revoke their subscription-tier services if you cancel before the trial period is up. What about certain corporations that have bugs in their apps that aren't fixed yet?

The original poster of this story had a friend who purchased a subscription on a dating app. After about a week, his friend was unable to cancel the subscription because the app was sending him in circles without completing the cancellation. Then, when his friend tries to speak to representatives on the matter, he's still sent in multiple directions in an attempt to cancel. The bug in the app is eventually fixed, but the friend is so peeved off at this point that he demands a refund for the period of time he was not using the app but was still getting billed for it. The company refuses, so he becomes the star of a $23M class action lawsuit, where he made out like a bandit with a stunning four-figure sum of cash. Scroll below to read the full story.

Caturday is a day of celebration. A day to give thanks to the cute cats who make our lives that much better with their beautiful toe beans, their effervescent ears and their fluffy fur. But the reality is that while this was once the way that we celebrated this auspicious day, it has since then devolved into feline freneticism, full of clawminal behavior with no particular aim or direction. Which is why we made this list of ungovernable cat pictures to ease you into the clawminality of caturday. Which is definitely better than being smacked in the face with it full force with it.

From the feisty feline who looks like he is ready for a fierce fight, to the armor plated catto who is ready to take on the alien invasion that is due to come for us at any moment, to the evil genius cat who may be squinting through his glasses, but it is only because he is so focused on the damage he is going to cause with his master plan.

There's a lot to complain about in this world—if you go looking for it… but who wants to live their life like that anyway? You're far better off putting that time and energy towards something productive and just getting on with it rather than falling into that line of thinking. Regardless, you're determined to find something to take issue with… the size of your toast probably isn't one of them worth worrying about—there are plenty of other things that should take priority on the list

Who knows. Maybe this customer has just been having a bad time, and this is the thing that sent her over the edge, the proverbial straw that broke the back of the camel. Yet, it stands to reason that it's never ok to go around spouting wildly entitled behavior and treating waitstaff poorly. Still, this customer demanded that her two pieces of toast be the same size, the café staff maliciously complied with her request, resulting in two pieces that were exactly the same size but smaller than she had started with. 

Oh, cat pawrents, how would cats get to their esteemed level of fame without you constantly talking about them? You are, in fact, the reason cats are the kings and queens of the internet today, and for the past few decades since the internet became a thing. Cats are the dominant topic of conversation wherever there's a wifi connection, because let's be honest here - cat pawrents cannot shut up about their fluffy feline friends.

But hey, we don't blame you - we are exactly the same. Look at us, cat pawrents who work at talking about cats online. We're the perpetrators. And! We're! Proud! Of! It! Talking about cats is ameowzing, and we'll do it for a living. Oh, wait, we already do, muhahahaha.

You and us, we're not the only ones to yap about their cats to no end. So many other cat pawrents have done, and are still doing, this exact thing. We collected some cat conversation starters in the form of cat tweets down below, so we can all talk about more cats later.

Not every customer support worker is reading off of a script. That didn't stop this customer from insisting that one worker was doing that, though! 

Sure, when you call a customer service helpline, you'll have to answer a bunch of standard questions. You might have to tell them your age and address and maybe answer a few security questions. Some customers just have zero time for this, though. Even though answering all of the necessary questions probably takes about a minute, a lot of people get so worked up and angry before calling that they're too upset to answer the questions. They're just demanding answers… not realizing that they cannot be helped until they provide basic information. 

Others, like the dude in this story, were being irritating by refusing to try simple solutions. I know, no one wants to be told to turn their computer off and back on again, or to make sure it's plugged into the wall. But some customer service reps literally have to ask these questions before proceeding, and if they don't, they risk breaking company protocols that could cost them their jobs. 

This person shared their story, but commenters focussed on how their company treated them after this call went south. You can read the full tale below and see for yourself how crazy things got with this impatient customer. 

Next, read about the "mass malicious compliance" caused by a manager who told all employees to be in their seats by 9 AM, no exceptions! 

There are two things that can make a weekend better, more wholesome and much funnier - cats and memes. Memes are a great and funny pastime, even when it's short and sweet and lengthy and hilarious. And cats are the addition to life that makes anything they're involved in more wholesome, in an instant. So the secret to a wholesome and funny Caturday is incorporating both cats and memes all throughout your weekend. And what's the best way of doing that? Well… cat memes.

It's the two things to create a comical and cute Caturday in one. You scroll through some Caturday memes, and you're laughing, but also relishing in how cute all these cats are. Cats and memes are the ultimate combination for a purrfect Caturday. So kick back and enjoy these meowgnificent memes, preferably with your cat in your lap.

Having entitled neighbors is bad enough when the extent of their torment is arguing about who gets the parking spot on the curb closest to their home. Sure, maybe a neighbor parking in your driveway while you're not home is bothersome, too. But when you get a package-stealing neighbor? They're actively taking money out of your front pocket. This is when, in the original poster's words, you have to get "a little creative."

The OP of this story has seen his neighbor eye the packages he gets delivered to his doorstep. He's even caught the neighbor in the act, taking the deliveries that would never be seen again. Instead of escalating the issue with the authorities, the OP starts packing up his own special deliveries, ones that are filled with junk like old receipts, broken pens, and other miscellaneous garbage items. When the neighbor took the bait, the OP saw the neighbor throw the special delivery in the garbage. OP continued to carry out his creative mission, resulting in the (hopeful) end of his neighbor's sticky finger behavior. 

Scroll below to read the full story. Next up is a story about a bad neighbor who decided to donate their other neighbor's package to a Goodwill.

First things first, fellow feline fanatics - happy Caturday! We've waited all week for this day, and we can't wait to do absolutely nothing. That's right - our big plans for today are to lay in bed, snuggle with our cats until they're sick of us, scroll through cat memes, order delivery, and basically be a couch potato all day. Those are our big plans, and we're not ashamed of it at all. Listen, we're busy all week, so we deserve some R&R&CM (rest, relaxation, and cat memes).

It's important to take the time to recharge after a long, stressful week. Our cute cats bring us joy, snuggling with them brings us joy, staying in our pajamas all day brings us joy, and of course, Caturday memes bring us joy. It's the best way to start your weekend, so let's start our Caturday off on the right paw by enjoying all things cat from the comfort of our own beds. Have a great weekend!
