25 Coworker Memes to Enjoy on Your Lunch Break

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 16:00

There's nothing better than getting along with your coworkers. After all, you're together a lot, and there's nothing like bonding with your coworkers over the shared misery of sitting in a cubicle for eight hours a day. You've got someone to share your coffee breaks with, someone to help you with that pesky Excel spreadsheet, and someone to vent to when your boss schedules a meeting on Friday afternoon. It's like having a built-in support system, except instead of therapy sessions, you just go out for a work happy hour. 

Of course, you can't always get so lucky. There are always those coworkers who make you want to pull your hair out. You know the ones - the guy who talks too loudly on the phone, the girl who leaves her dirty dishes in the sink, and the boss who thinks "urgent" means "whenever you get around to it." But at least they give you something to gossip about with your work besties, right? So here are some memes to celebrate the coworkers who make the workday a little brighter and the coworkers who make you appreciate your days off even more. Because without them, work would just be...work.

20+ Exasperated tech savvy people share the most computer illiterate individuals they've ever encountered: 'Send both files in one email, so you don't have to pay twice'

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 15:00

There was a certain point in time in the not-so-distant past when plenty of people had never encountered a "Personal Computer" before—a time when listing your basic typing and computer skills on a CV would make you a strong candidate for a varying degree of roles and not raise eyebrows. At this time, it was perfectly understandable when you encountered someone, particularly someone older, who had no way of conceptualizing what the darn thing was, resulting in a degree of bizarrely hilarious interactions as people struggled to come to grips with this wondrous new machine. 

Nowadays, Windows 95 is almost 30 years old—and thus, the widespread establishment of the Personal Computer (PC) in people's homes happened some time ago… So there's really not all that much of an excuse when you don't know how to use a mouse and keyboard. But technology has progressed since, and it's only a matter of time before there's something new that all of us can't get our heads around—and it's just not going to come in the form of something we anticipate.

Yet, where there is the possibility of something in this world, there's someone fulfilling the prophecy of probability. These tech-savvy persons gathered in this online community to share their stories about the most computer-illiterate people they had ever encountered, making for a good collection of relevant tales. 

'It was... very petty of me: Project manager sends massive 600+ page email to spite finance department

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 14:00

The finance department at this company learned exactly who they shouldn't be messing with. U/thelastword4343 shared their story of some very petty revenge within their job as a project manager for a small company. 

Project managers have a lot to take on, and they need to be very organized. This person claims they are, but the company's finance department just doesn't see eye to eye with them. That can happen in companies: different departments feel territorial or hold petty grudges, and it can affect the communication between groups after a while. That's even clearer with cases like this. The employee writes that the finance department threw a pretty big accusation their way, even though they were completely wrong about it. 

The worker decided that if everyone wants to waste time, two can play at that game. They had a brilliant idea that is an inspiration to office workers everywhere. As an employee, if you can play by the rules and still win your intra-office battles, you're a hero in our books. 

After you read this person's petty revenge story, read about these tech-illiterate folks who do things like refusing to send multiple emails "so you don't have to pay twice."

'Driver ate my food': Top Food Delivery Fiascos of the Week (April 24, 2024)

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 13:00

There is a plethora of ways in which a food delivery order can go wrong. Sometimes, it's an honest mistake. Sometimes, it's the customer's fault. And sometimes the person delivering your food is a bit too eager and bizarre. You know, the kind of guy who messages you after the delivery is complete. Perhaps it's about getting an extra tip or maybe it's even a flirtation no one asked for.

Regardless, customers and delivery drivers alike are human, which means the capacity for errors and misjudgments is just as possible as a flawless delivery. For me, a flawless delivery means minimal contact. It's not about sanitation necessarily. It's about not having to look at another human in the face at two in the morning after impulsively ordering wings yet again.

Keep scrolling below for this fresh collection of delivery fiascos. They range from the wholesome to the audacious, from the typical to the outlandish, and from sweet to savory.

'Lesson learned': Couple ruin hundreds of dollars worth of clothing with hostel request gone wrong

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 12:00

This couple managed to ruin a bunch of their clothing while traveling.

There's some good travel advice about how to ensure you'll always have a clean outfit with you. If you're flying, you should pack your clothes in your checked luggage, but make sure to leave at least one pair of clothing in your carry-on luggage, too. That way if your luggage gets lost or you're not able to get that suitcase right away, you'll still have a fresh set of clothes for the next day. 

This couple had a similar issue involving their clothing. They entrusted a bunch of "expensive high-tech hiking clothes" to strangers at the hostel they were staying at. I hope they left at least a few sets of clothing out of that wash cycle, because otherwise, they'll have to add a big shopping trip into their vacation. 

Although it seems like a miscommunication with hostel staffers, this traveler left this information in the hostel's review. At least they gave their trip a 7/10… not that any of it was really the hostel's fault in the first place. 

After you check out this interesting hostel review/laundry disaster, read about the freelance artists who revealed their worst clients, like one poor soul who "had a guy try to pay me with pottery."

'Thou shalt not cut in line': Line-cutting Male Karen gets his comeuppance in the Drive-Thru pharmacy line

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 11:00

Karma can rear its head just about anywhere, even if it's in a long line at the local drive-thru pharmacy. 

Here, we have a customer who was patiently waiting third in line at a drive-thru in order to pick up a prescription. Because of the structural layout on the street, there had to be a small gap between the third and fourth positions in line so that regular drivers could pass. Well, one SUV line-cutting male Karen thought that gap could be an opportunity to sneak in and completely cut the line. After a dispute between him and the lady who had previously been fourth in line, the male Karen refused to move to the back. That's when the customer who was third in line decided to step in and help the lady out. He told her to park her car and to get in the passenger's seat of his vehicle so that they could pick up both of their prescriptions together. This clever workaround clearly upset the line-cutter, who was so ticked off that he furiously drove away. 

Keep scrolling below for the full play-by-play. When you're done, check out this post about another Karen who got upset over having to actually do her job.

Happy hump day you fluffy cat lovers! The middle of the week is upon us, and we are blessed to be at the point where the weekend feels closer than ever, and that means that Caturday is officially coming. However, we cannot discount the supporting role of our precious feline fur babies, who have been supporting us through the worries and woes of the working week.

And today we are taking a moment to celebrate our wholesome cattos' hard work with this video from a very fortunate feline pawrent who rather relatably and purrfectly summed up what it is like to have a cat who is a ten, but is lazy and so does not really help out with anything around the house. We've all been there, wishing that our cat could at least pick up the litter it flung on the floor, and this funny cat video sure does sum up that feeling.

'[I] had a guy try to pay me with pottery': 30+ Freelance artists who had the most entitled clients ever

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 08:00

These artists aren't staying quiet anymore about their commission nightmares. 

While freelancing online, you may have to jump through a lot of hoops before you can find a good client. Many people will head to an artist's DMs and start brainstorming about the artwork they want to buy. But right off the bat, a lot of people aren't prepared to actually pay for the art. They say things like, "Well, weren't you going to draw that anyway?" or "I think it should be free because it only took you a little while to draw." Artists are constantly forced to explain to people that yes, drawing can be work, and no, exposure doesn't pay the bills.

At least on X, formerly known as Twitter, these artists have an outlet to vent a bit about their most unbelievable client requests. Some people have the gall to claim, "I could do that," when shown the artwork. Well, if you can do that, go ahead! Almost any artist will tell you that if you have the nerve to say such a thing. You can literally make art whenever you feel like it, you don't need to hire an artist. All you need is all of the necessary tools, like paint, brushes, pencils, or digital software, plus talent, plus years of schooling or training, plus practice. See? Anyone can do it! 

After you check out these wild tales of entitled clients, read about the cafe worker who was so incompetent that he got fired after a single disastrous shift

Overachieving employee raises KPI averages higher just so their boss misses a promotion: 'The entire sector didn't get raises that year'

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 07:00

They say the best revenge in life is success… That teacher who said you'd never make it? That bully in high school? Anyone who doubted you or tried to keep you down. Well, the best thing you can do is go on to prove that you're not as weak or insignificant as they're telling you you are. Of course, although not as often discussed, going on to leave a peaceable existence of mediocrity is also an acceptable option if that's what you prefer, though decidedly less exciting of a story.

This employee had their life turned upside down when their new supervisor decided to change their schedule on a whim to bring it in line with the rest of the team. The employee had been working an adjusted schedule where they came in and left an hour earlier than "normal" in order to properly manage the care of their son. "That's what babysitters are for," their new supervisor declared when he asked her about his previous arrangement.  Already a top performer, the employee decided to get back at their boss the best way they could… See, their workgroup KPIs were based on average performance, so by excessively exceeding their own performance; they could raise the group averages to a point where the group as a whole wouldn't ever be able to meet it… When their boss missed out on a KPI target, it would put them permanently behind on the pay scale.

'I want to enjoy a campfire from my porch': Guest wants to light a campfire in the middle of a forest, hotel employee refuses to sell him firewood

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 06:00

Rules are rules, and at hotels, they exist for a reason. One guest checked into a hotel in the middle of a forest, and a while later, came up to the front desk clerk to enquire about campfires. This guest thought it would be a brilliant idea to light a campfire right outside his cabin so that he could enjoy it from his porch. Dude… do you know anything about fire safety? The front desk clerk stared at him and informed him that 20 yards away, were a bunch of leaves, dry as the desert. He couldn't light a fire anywhere near there. That's when things took a turn, leading to an amusing series of events that you can read all about below in a series of screenshots. Afterward, check out another story about safety, but this time, about an employee who refused to work for a company that didn't give him the proper safety equipment for work. Tsk, tsk, when will people learn?

'Sir, there are babies in her uterus': Man Loudly Argues With Vet That It's Impossible His Cat Is Pregnant Because He Doesn't Have A Male Cat

LOL Cats - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 06:00

Kittens are adorable. We think we can all agree on that. And nothing makes us smile quite as hard as seeing pics of cute kittens and looking at videos of precious kittens on the internet. In fact, we go out searching for them. We want them. Kittens make us happy. But… we admit that we probably wouldn't want our house cat to show up pregnant our of nowhere, even if it meant a whole bunch of new and adorable kittens for us to look at all day every day. 

If it did happen, we would probably be just as in denial as the man in this thread. No, this is impossible. Only in our case, it really would be impossible, because our cats are spayed, but in his case… listen, having no males inside the house has never stopped a determined cat from getting pregnant. Lesson learned. The hard way.

'I don't have $60 to attend your fundraising event': Job applicant asked to donate to the company that rejected her

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/24/2024 - 05:00

Imagine reaching out to a former employer for a full-time opportunity, getting flat-out rejected, and then being asked to give money to the organization. You have to admire the audacity of these people. 

This Redditor shared that after successful contracted work, she sought a salaried position at the same company and put a ton of work into her application. When she was rejected, she wound up receiving what was clearly a copy-and-paste rejection email. She ended up reaching out to her contact at the company to see if her former employer knew she had applied for the position or if it was some low-level intern who rejected her. As it turns out, her boss was aware of the Redditor's application and still chose to send the impersonal rejection letter without any acknowledgment of the work the Redditor had done for the company in the past.

But wait, it only gets worse. The former boss's next move was to invite the Redditor to a fundraising event for the organization in the same email. Furthermore, the price of admission was $60 per ticket, as if the Redditor would be willing to spend her funds during unemployment on the company that just rejected her.
