If this story is proof of anything, it's that nothing should hold you back from chasing your dreams, even if you are a very chocky cat whose dream is to catch a lizard that got underneath your owner's desk. See, chonky cats do not care about their chonkiness. They do not try to de-chonk-fy. They accept themselves as they are, and more than that, they continue asking for more food even half a minute after they finish a fresh meal. 

Being chonky does not stop these cats. And it should not stop you either. Because chonky cats just means that there's more cat to love, and we love each and every inch of our cats. And if those inches somehow manage to get under the desk and fulfill their dream of catching a lizard, well… thankfully, this person caught the lizard fast enough to release it and ensure a happy ending to this story.

This is what happens when teachers are not paid fairly. It's no secret that your average teacher is forced to take on a number of tasks and responsibilities that go well beyond their job description and salary. The reality of the matter is that without their extra free labor, students and teachers alike will not have the proper materials for class to run smoothly. 

Naturally, this lack of fairness can lead to a whole lot of resentment from teachers who are taking way too much time out of their already busy schedules to do even more work and, in many cases, spend their own money to get it all done. Here, we have a teacher who was expected to install software on each of his students' computers so that lab could run smoothly. This meant three extra days of unpaid work each time the software needed to be installed. IT refused to pitch in, and the administration was, of course, no help at all.

Eventually, this professor had enough after 17 years of this madness and decided to enact some well-deserved malicious compliance before leaving this institution forever. Keep scrolling below to see what happened to that software. For more stories like this, take a look at this post about a sales ops director who left because of a lazy Karen.

Working at the front desk, you get to see a lot of different guests in your lifetime. It's hard to keep up with the complaints that people have, it's ridiculous. Some people want a discount because the room wasn't the right temperature when they entered. Other people want a discount because you didn't smile enough. Then again, some people don't even want a discount, they just want to make you miserable. Honestly, I'm so glad my customer days are behind me… I don't know if I could put up with it anymore.

This hotel employee met the type of person you try very hard to stay away from when working a shift… this guest was a liar, and also a thief. She tried to get the employee fired under false pretenses, but luckily, the employee was able to bait her into being honest about her intentions.

Hi there, hoomans!

We have a dilemma for you today, and we would love to hear your take on it. So in our new place, we have two cats and a big balcony with lots of space to hang out and enjoy the sun. We have absolutely no doubt that our cats would love to just chill out on the balcony whenever they can. The problem is, that one of our cats is orange. Yes, we know, big problem. He is incredibly unpredictable and we fear that one day, his brain cell will not work and he will give in to his curiosity and just jump off the balcony. So now we are too scared to let them out, and we genuinely do not know what to do.

Any suggestions would be gladly welcomed in the comments down below, and while you are on your way there, make sure to enjoy a collection of hissterical cat memes. Once you are done, click here for a collection of witty Google searches made by funny felines.

This morning was very eventful, to say the least. See, my two cats, Spock and Leo, decided that at 7 am sharp, they were going to tackle one of my big, beautiful plants. I had just rescued the plant because it wasn't doing very well in a certain spot in my backyard, so I took it in to give it some extra love and care. After feeding the cute critters, I was busy making myself a yummy morning coffee. That's when both of my fluffy felines got the zoomies, and practically ran up the walls.

Unfortunately, while Spock was tackling Leo, they bumped into my gorgeous plant, just when it was getting better. It toppled over and the entire living room was filled with dirt. I wanted to yell, but I didn't, opting instead to sigh loudly, plop myself onto my couch, and start drinking my coffee. I wasn't awake enough to start cleaning up yet. Of course, my cats showed no remorse, and I am weak, so I gave them some delicious treats anyway. Scroll down for the funniest fluffy feline memes of the week, and then check out these hissterically humorous cats for all you cat experts out there.

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!

Despite the fact that cats and dogs are known for not getting along with one another, we have seen too much evidence to the contrary. We know that cats and dogs can be best friends. Even if their friendships are a little bit funky. Even if cats and dogs make for weird BFFs, with weird opposite behavior patterns and hobbies. Even if cats and dogs sometimes look embarrassed of being friends, or at least getting caught being friends. It's okay! We're not going to judge them. We think it's adorable. 

We think that cats and dogs growing up together makes and being friends makes for some hilarious memories that we will hold onto forever. And we are sure that the person who saved this pregnant dog, helped her, found homes for her puppies, then kept her - adopted her - is incredibly happy to watch this silly little pupper think that she is the mother of every kitten that comes across her path.
