Your time in college can be the best of your life. That said, a lot of it relies on how well you get along with your roommates because living in peace in an apartment is essential to the experience.

The roommate who has been driven to the point of no return is described in the story below. The original poster (OP) is a student who shares an apartment with multiple other people. Since everyone tried their best not to step on each other's toes, everything went smoothly at first. But as time passed and people grew accustomed to their new circumstances, the harmony within the household broke, and an 'every man for himself' mentality took hold.

So, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning what happened to push OP over the edge! After you're done, don't forget to read about the construction worker who, after years of mistreatment, offers his old micromanager a job!

Starting a small business is a scary thing, putting it all on the line to try and create a successful business, which will see you solely reaping possibly unlimited benefits—if you can make it that far. But, hey, you take on all of the risks, you get all of the rewards; that's fundamentally how we've decided things should work in this world… and when it works well for someone, you're not going to see them complaining. 

However, taking on the risk means taking on the risk. Which is something a lot of people don't seem to get when starting a business or making other risky investments. They think that they should get a big payout regardless… When the reason the payout stands to be so good in the first place is that there is risk involved and a lot of people lose everything. In the case of small businesses and their owners, instead of looking at themselves when losses are made, owners have a tendency to take it out on employees, asking employees to effectively cover their cost of doing business as if they have some stake in the organization. 

That's when you end up with wild employment policies like this, where managers go around asking their employees to pay them just because they happened to be sick or had some other emergency and couldn't make it in. Why on earth are these baristas having to offer money to cover a shift in the first place? It's the kind of thing you'd only ever see in the service industry.

If you've ever watched someone on a computer open a new window and slowly type "google.com", these stories are for you. If you're reading this, you probably know that there are plenty of computer shortcuts that make your life easier. These days, you don't have to search for the google homepage, you can just type in whatever you need to search for. But there are people of all ages and backgrounds who haven't quite mastered computers and technology, and their mishaps might make you giggle. 

U/ThatLasagnaGuy asked the people of r/AskReddit to share the "worst case of computer illiteracy you've seen," and more than 2,700 people chimed in. Some folks were stuck with the infuriating task of helping their coworkers. A lot of people aren't too familiar with Excel, so they ask their coworkers for help. I wonder if they know they can google the answers to most of their problems… but it seems like some of these people are so far behind on their tech knowledge that it'll take a while to catch them up. 

After you read about these people who were utterly baffled by today's tech, check out a 15-rule wedding invite that has convinced this person to skip the wedding. 

This lady needs to take a hint. When she first discovered her long-lost sister, she somehow missed what seemed like obvious clues that her sister, Esty, was uncomfortable about the whole thing given that she fell out of touch with their father. Then, this lady did not get the message when Esty blocked her on social media after the lady started following Esty and messaging her constantly. Finally, Esty took things way too far when she showed up at Esty's place of work completely unannounced. That was the final straw for Esty, who threatened to call security to have the lady removed if she tried to do this again.

Somehow after all of this drama, the lady still felt like Esty was somehow in the wrong here. So when she took to Reddit and shared her side of the story via this thread on the iconic r/AmITheA****** subreddit, the ruthless judges of this internet community did not mince words for her. Keep scrolling below to see what the Redditor later discovered about the history between Esty and her father. What would you do in this situation? For more content like this, here is a collection of tell-tale signs that a couple is about to break up.

This couple wanted to send out 15 rules for their wedding. It's not a bad idea in theory, but the tone of the list, and some of the actual rules themselves, got people on the r/weddingshaming subreddit talking. 

There are a lot of good rules for your wedding, and most don't need to be spelled out for guests. For example, there's one rule which warns guests not to bring outside drinks… who does that? Rule #2 instructs guests not to "get in the photographer's way." Who hurt this couple enough that they felt the need to include such a demand? I don't think most guests are blocking the photographer just for fun.

In another confusing rule, the couple notes that they want there to be twerking, since it's a "99s and 2000s" themed wedding. That's confusing though, because I thought that was a more modern dance… and I wonder if they wanted people not to twerk for that reason. It's possible that was a typo, too! If so, they're going to have a lot of twerking at their wedding, whether they wanted that or not. 

Check out the rules below to see which ones you agree with, and which seem superfluous. Then, read about the woman engineer who got back at her coffee-drinking coworkers. 

This scenario is ripe for some petty payback. The first time this Redditor received a delivery intended for a different apartment down the hall, they did not think much of the situation. They simply concluded that it must have been a mistake or the delivery person was buzzing any apartment number just to enter the building. However, the next time it happened, they started to put the pieces together.

They realized that the entitled Karen down the hall kept listing the Redditor's apartment number for all of their deliveries. Perhaps they were away a lot and feared the packages would be stolen. Still, one would think asking the neighbor for their approval would be a logical step before putting down their apartment number. Or perhaps the Karen was simply too entitled to pick up after herself and be an adult. Our impression is that the latter scenario is more likely, in which case it is well within the Redditor's right to enact some payback.

In this world, there are two kinds of people: those who are obsessed with technology and those who are afraid of it. The two sorts would never waver in their positions as they are on opposite ends of the technological spectrum.

The story below is an account relayed by an IT worker. The original poster (OP) tells the tale of how the company brought on an unseasoned employee to perform a task for which he had no prior experience or training.  At first, OP tried to help the man, but after some time, he came to the conclusion that no amount of support or direction could make a technophobe like the one they had just hired change. Fortunately, the new hire—let's call him Kevin for the purposes of this discussion—was polite enough and made a sincere effort to pick up the necessary skills. However, following two months of relentless struggle, Kevin came to the conclusion that it was time to give up and look for other opportunities that better fit his skills.

So, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what transpired between OP and the new recruit as well as how unqualified he was for the job! Not only that but after reading the story, don't forget to read about the construction worker who, after years of mistreatment, offers his former micromanaging employer a job!

There is nothing more satisfying than to watch entitled people get what they deserve, even if it is as small as watching them get up from a table that isn't theirs at a restaurant. 

Let us give you more context. This person on Reddit shared a story that happened to her while she was on vacation with her parents. While traveling, they got hungry and decided to book a table at a nice restaurant, but when they got there, they saw that all of the tables were occupied, even though they made sure they would have a table reserved. Unsurprisingly, they discover that a random couple simply sat at their table without so much as a word to the staff there. OP's mother did not let that entitlement slide and made sure the couple got what they deserved…

A bunch of waiters and chefs revealed the funniest things they've ever heard in the workplace.

While working in a restaurant's back of house, or BOH, employees quickly gain a playful rapport with each other. There's nothing that builds camaraderie like being in the trenches together. When there are dozens of orders piling up and you're short-staffed, a bit of humor can help lighten the mood. Not to mention that the chefs and prep staff are hidden away from customers, so they have more leeway to use spicy language and yell to each other. 

You can check out this great thread from r/Serverlife, the subreddit dedicated to those in the food service profession. Commenters from all roles of an eatery chimed in, and we've compiled some of the funniest stories below. It just goes to show that working with fun people can make an eight-hour shift fly by in an instant. And alternately, some people shared how they got back at the annoying staffers who made an 8-hour shift feel like 8 days. 

After that, this person has only been in their new building for two weeks. But that hasn't stopped their neighbor from getting so frustrated by the frequent noise that they penned a note. 

Working remotely has its advantages and disadvantages… While you no longer have to use your own time and money to commute into an office, which is probably open plan (which you loathe,) crammed directly adjacent to your other disgruntled coworkers (whom you abhor,) all that in order to have your time and productivity wasted by meaningless small talk and because you need to "look" busy even though that actually means you're being less productive. 

On the flip side, while remote working would certainly be the preferred option for a lot of us. It can be quite isolating when you realize that those coworkers whom you despised so much were the only regular contact you had with other human beings. Despite all the personal freedom you've attained, you're probably going to have your online presence monitored by Orwellian software anyway. You're probably going to struggle to have a defined beginning and end to your workday, too, and on any days when you're sick enough to go into the office, you might be inclined to work from your bed instead.

When people don't get their way, they'll resort to other measures… such as calling the bank.

As told by a user on Reddit, a guest failed to show up to check into their hotel room after reserving 2 very expensive rooms for a couple of nights. The user was an employee at the hotel, working the front desk, and hadn't even received a call from the guest who clearly didn't think he needed to cancel. A few weeks later, the inevitable happened… he got a big bill, which he, of course, called to complain about. The hotel employee explained the policy and held firm despite his anger. The guest yelled and said that he was going to dispute the charge with the bank, and the employee told him that wouldn't be such a good idea. Of course, who ever listens to employees working in customer service? This dude definitely got what he deserved. Scroll down to read what that entailed, and then check out this worker who called up IT after they soaked the printer in water and stated 'it didn't work anymore'. Y'dont say?

There is no positive trajectory for a company that caters to a Karen employee. This time, the Karen in question did not even have any real power. She had been shirking her responsibilities at work long after a minor neck injury from which she had fully recovered. Her coworkers had even seen that she was partying on the weekends, but she managed to find a doctor who could get her out of coming to work as much as she wanted. 

Finally, her boss, who ran the sales operations team, convinced HR to find a temp replacement. However, as soon as they started to confront the Karen about this, she threatened to sue despite having no real legal standing. Still, HR panicked and started letting this Karen get away with anything under the sun. Finally, the Redditor had enough of this nonsense and put in his notice. One would think this is what the lazy Karen wanted all along. However, when the team started to fall apart and a new leader was hired, suddenly Karen realized she needed to actually show up to work and get something done.

This might sound completely ridiculous, but before anyone thinks of buying a car, they should really consider whether or not they have a space to park it where they live. If they don't, then they simply should not buy a car.

Another thing they should absolutely not do is assign a random public area in their neighborhood to be their own personal parking space because A. It's illegal, and B. It is just going to create an uncomfortable situation with the neighbors. But still, some people buy cars when they don't have anywhere to park, and that results in them claiming a public area to be their personal parking space.

This is exactly the problem OP (original poster) has to deal with in this Reddit story. OP posted pictures of a sign her neighbor put up that declares a public area in their neighborhood to be her personal parking space. OP is at a loss with what to do about it, so she turns to the trusty people of Reddit for advice about payback.

At 5:30 am, one person was enjoying some sleep on their weekend, when they heard a 'ding' from their phone. Who on earth would text at this hour? Well, lots of people, if it were an emergency. But it wasn't… it was a recruiter, and they were offering the person a job. This job sounded enticing indeed, as it was part-time, and it was $250 per hour. Or… was it?

I can smell a scam from a mile away, and anyone who texts me that isn't on my contact list raises my immediate suspicion. Who are you, how did you get my number, and why are you asking me to apply for a job that sounds too good to be true? Scroll down to read the full story and what people had to say about it, and then when you're done, here is a story about an office manager who was fed up with the employees who left their spoiled food in the fridge.

It's usually best to take responsibility for your own decisions and actions. Unfortunately, when you have a propensity for making bad ones, you're also more likely to not want to take responsibility for them, instead casting them off on the other people who had the misfortune of being in your immediate proverbial vicinity. Being eternally financially bound to one of these liabilities through other accountabilities is not a great situation to be in. But, as with anything in life, the best you can do is make the most of where you're at.

After an amicable divorce from his ex-wife, which seemed to be being handled with levelheaded reasoning and a positive outlook, this guy was surprised by his ex-wife's repeated poor choices that put her in increasingly adverse financial situations. Things began to take a turn for the worse between the pair before his ex-wife sought to level a lawsuit against him, seeking to rewrite the financial decisions that had been made in their separation. A move that was going to backfire spectacularly.

This person is completely blind to the consequences of their impatience. Luckily for the rest of us, their story is an unintentionally funny tale of workplace ignorance. 

There's always that one coworker that just doesn't pick up on the job. They could have all the training in the world, but they still don't understand basic tasks. They're the person who needs your help ten times per day when you're not even their supervisor. Other times, "that one coworker" will do their job so badly that everyone else is left picking up the slack. 

This dude sounds like a hilariously inept communicator, and a nightmare to work with. The non-suspended account u/Familiar-Jacket wrote that they worked for a large company of 10,000+ people, but they noticed that it was hard to communicate via email in such a large company. They write that they've taken to finding people in person to address their issues, but during remote work days, that solution just won't cut it. They revealed their newest solution to getting their work done, and commenters let them know just how irritating they were being to everyone around them. 

Next up, this tech support worker was told by their bosses to "smile more," so they decided to grin and bear it by refusing to stop smiling. 

Sometimes, there is no point in pretending you know the answer on a test. 

Perhaps you didn't study or perhaps you're just drawing a blank. For whatever reason, you have absolutely no idea what to say and you can't even venture an educated guess. At this point, you know you're not getting any points on this question (and maybe even on the whole test). So, what does one do in this situation? Do you leave the question blank? Do you waste time trying to fabricate an educated guess despite the fact that you know it will be totally wrong? Or do you just accept that you don't know it and lean into that fact, so to speak?

Now, for those of you who don't know what it's like to not know the answer to a question on a test, leaning into your lack of knowledge might sound foreign to you, but we promise it is not the end of your academic career. In fact, some teachers responded favorably to their clueless students' honesty. Well, only a few responded that way but still. You're at the very least likely to give your teacher a laugh with your transparency.

This person gave their company half a year to replace them, and that still wasn't enough time. That's a generous offer! Most people give the usual two weeks' notice when switching jobs. It's the common courtesy to let your employer know that you're heading for the door, while also giving them time to strategize and start the hiring process for your replacement. 

U/Knowslittle wrote that their employer was making them do the jobs of three people. This worker was stretched so thin that it was becoming an unpleasant work environment. They proved that they cared about their company by giving them six whole months to figure out how to handle their departure. But still, the company just didn't move fast enough. Oh well, they did all they could to prepare their employers!

Commenters enjoyed the tale, and left stories of their own. Plus, in an edit to the post, the original poster shared their appreciation for the malicious compliance community, adding that workers should "value yourself and what you do." Sage advice for all of the workers of the world. 

Up next, if you're a Gen Xer who's ever programmed a VCR or rocked out to The Cure, you'll find these throwback memes totally relatable. 

People have their own personal reasons for quitting jobs. Sometimes it's justified, and sometimes it's not, Sometimes it's planned, and sometimes it's impulsive. And every so often, the reason behind someone's departure at a company is so bonkers and unexpected that it almost feels like you're living in a movie or some heightened version of reality.

This time, instead of telling these anecdotes from the perspectives of those who got fired or quit, we're going to see how things went down from the points of view of the head honchos. Perhaps they learned a lesson or two and their employee was completely in the right. Or perhaps for once, these bosses were not all that bad and they were legitimately dealing with ridiculous employees. Even in this heated cultural moment with respect to how we view the workplace, that dynamic may still exist as well.

The night shift is not for the weak. Whether you're working the third shift at a factory or a hospital, the real task is just staying awake. It takes a certain kind of grit and determination to work through the wee hours of the night while the rest of the world is fast asleep. It is possible shift your sleeping schedule, but it's tough when everyone around you is working different hours than you. You have to be willing to make some serious sacrifices to live the night shift life: no more daytime Netflix binges or lunchtime naps in the sun. Instead, you're forced to sleep during the day, like a vampire, and wake up groggy and disoriented, praying you don't sleep through your alarm and miss your shift. But it's not all doom and gloom. There are some perks to working the night shift, like higher wages and a slower pace of work. You just have to be prepared to miss out on brunch dates and daytime activities - unless you're into midnight breakfast and moonlit hikes, that is.
