One of our favorite genres of videos on the internet is reunion videos. Gut wrenching. Emotional. So wholesome. We love it. We love it whether it's a person reuniting with his dog after losing them, or whether it's a man reuniting with the cheetah he raised as a cub after two and a half years apart. Whether it's a feral kitten reuniting with its half brother or whether it's a swan waiting for its rescued mate to return after rehabilitation. 

Our eyes get misty each and every time we watch a video like this, and today is no different. Usually, us human beings are involved in some ways in these reunions, bringing people and animals back together, but that's not how it always happens. Sometimes, it happens naturally - this time, a reunion between a mother and her cubs, and somehow, that makes it even more heartwarming.

You know… kids are dumb; it's really an undeniable and certifiable fact. In fact, it's not even a programming error rather it's actually one of the features of being a kid; you don't have to know everything or be responsible and can romp around; it's up to your parents, other guardians, or mining foreman to manage that for you and teach it to you in constructive ways. 

"You can't always get what you want" is one of those first lessons that you're taught in life and has been an essential part of our educational foundation ever since philosopher Sir Michael Philip Jagger invented the concept with the help of a bunch of rocks back in the 60s. This concept, of course, goes doubly if the thing is someone else's—this all harking back to lessons learned on the playground. Timmy has a red ball; you want to play with that red ball, but that red ball is Timmy's, and he decides whether or not you get to play with it. Sure, it would be nice for Timmy to share his ball if he's able, but it's really up to him. It's up to your parents to make sure that you understand this and enforce the lesson when you fail. Of course, if your parents never learned the lesson they're going to be hard-pressed to teach it to you, which is how we end up with generations of self-perpetuated entitlement.

These parents refused to tell their kid no when he got his sticky fingers on a doughnut that wasn't his... Leading to a confrontation between friends that didn't really need to happen and some unanswered questions that this poster sought to answer online.

Hey there, ICanHasCheezburger enthusiasts! We hope all is well with you and your loved ones. Let's face it, if you've got a cat at home, chances are they're calling the shots. Whether it's stealing the spotlight or claiming a spot at the dinner table, their reign can seem harmless at first glance. But let's get real, sometimes our feline friends act like they own the place, expecting the world on a silver platter – and let's be honest, we often indulge them. But hey, a little humility wouldn't hurt, right, kitty?

If you're one of those cat owners dealing with a demanding furball who couldn't care less about authority, this meme collection is for you. Get ready to chuckle at spoiled cat antics, cheeky cat memes, and everything that screams, "I'm the boss around here, and I'll do as I please." It's all in good fun, but deep down, we know who's really in charge!

It's about time we read some good news. Usually, neighborhood stories are all about neighbor drama, HOA's, and the Karen next door ruining a pleasant Sunday afternoon, but this next tale is truly a wholesome one. 

While not every neighborhood is perfect, sometimes a treasured neighbor will pop their head out into the community, reminding us that there is still a shred of good left on this block. For one young woman, that reminder came in the form of an elderly neighborhood recluse who decided to come out of hiding to share a wholesome gift: Music. 

After living next door for some time, this old man came out from his home to share a collection of burned CDs with his neighbor, reaching out and establishing a friendship that would transcend neighborly kindness, evolving into a cherished musical friendship. Scroll for the entire store (and the funky playlists) of one old man passing the torch of musical passion to his younger neighbor through the ancient art of mixtapes.

There are several no-nos when it comes to what you should not reveal in a job interview, but discussing your enjoyment of Star Trek should not be on the list. Now, I myself am not a Trekkie, and while taking off from work to attend Star Trek-themed events would not be the way I elect to use my PTO, I certainly would not disparage someone else for wanting to use their much-deserved time off in this way.

This job candidate was interviewing to be a last-minute replacement while this Redditor was on medical leave. Her one request during the interview process was to put in an early vacation date for a comic con event to meet a famous Star Trek performer. Apparently, according to the boomer that was interviewing her, this was a major red flag for her to reveal as it made her seem "weird" and like someone who over-shares. 

Who hasn't seen or heard way worse about the personal details of our coworkers? Star Trek fandom is likely far more harmless than whatever this dude does in his free time. Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions. For more, check out this post about a boss who forced his employee to take a red-eye home.

Being a full-time nanny can either be the best job of your life or the worst, it all depends on the family that you are working for. If the parents are chill and supportive, you can have the best time with their kids and actually become part of the family. But, if the parents are harsh and inconsiderate, the job can easily become a burden and a frustrating experience, even regardless of how the kids themselves behave.

Unfortunately, the family in this Reddit story resembles the latter. OP (original poster) has been hired to be a full-time nanny for this rich family. Even on the first day, she could feel that the vibes about them were just off as both the kids and their mom were sick, so it wasn't surprising when OP herself got sick a few days later. When she talked about it with her "new boss", aka the dad, he was less than thoughtful and insisted that OP getting sick wasn't related to them. He then continued to demand OP to come to work the next day, completely disregarding the fact that she was unwell.

Scroll down to read the full story, and even read some of the actual communication between OP and the dad. After that, click here for a story of an employee who made a mistake that might cost him his job.

Take a load off, put your hardhat in the passenger seat, and pspsps your way into the weekend with these funny hardhat cat memes. 

How often do you get scheduled for a 10-hour shift? For blue-collar employees, it seems like it's every other day that you're reporting to the job site at 5AM only to get home far later than any of your 9-5 friends. What's the big idea? How are we supposed to leave our cats at home unattended for so long? Who will cuddle them!

For contractors on the job, sometimes the best part of your day is that brief 20-minute sit-down where you find a spot in the shade, crack open your lunch box, and heave a heavy sigh at the Franken-lunch you assembled this morning. But at work, there's a slim chance of encountering a construction site feline. Cats are drawn to the hardworking hoomans of the world (scouting for servants). When it comes to the blue-collar employee, cats know that they've found a hooman who can handle their feisty needs–and, chances are, that same worker has a tasty tuna sandwich in their lunchbox of wonders. 

Scroll for a goofy collection of cat memes that you can enjoy on your break.

The nature of something serious lends you to believe that that thing will be handled seriously, with calculated, methodical decision-making in its orchestration. Company-wide layoffs are a bit like that; the wide-sweeping impact made on people's lives means you'd expect each and every decision to be made with careful thought. Well, that's not always the case. At the end of the day, there's some administrator somewhere handling the clerical work through some management system, and both people and systems are prone to mistakes, especially when two things are closely related or similar to a level that isn't discernable at a glance.

One such mistake is exactly what led to this worker thinking that they had been laid off for two whole months while their employer still thought that they were working for them. The mistake only came to light when an HR manager got in touch with them to ask them why they hadn't been keeping up with their annual training requirements. The confused worker responded that they had been chopped along with 50 other of the company's employees during a recent round of layoffs. After a few minutes to calculate, the HR manager left in a panic before revealing that their inclusion in the layoffs had been an unfortunate case of mistaken identity. Fortunately for the worker, they were prepared before the "layoff" occurred and had already secured another job that would put them in a more secure role with better pay.

Commenters were quick to point out that the worker should have played dumb and should have acted like they had been working for the entire duration in order to secure payment for the period before giving their notice. See the original post and responses below. 

As employees, we're all just tools in the toolbox of our company. For utility purposes, we perform our function at work and then we clock out–it's simple. But as every worker knows, we all have one coworker on the roster who's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Even after months of training and hand-holding, that one coworker seems to always fumble the simplest tasks, making work harder for everyone on shift. 

And whether it's by design or by accident, the retail world always seems to harbor some of the dullest dolts in the workforce. 

For the guy in our next story, this became painfully apparent after teaching his coworker to use the anti-theft tagging tool. You know, the ones that clamp the dye pack to your chino pants, making an irreversibly damaged hole in the fabric, while also deterring thievery? Well, nobody likes this device either way, but when the anti-theft tag is rendered useless due to an idiotic attachment, its futility is compounded tenfold. 

Scroll for the entire hoopla where a coworker wins the award for the 'Most Brainless Employee of the Month' after attaching an anti-theft device to the price tags of all of the new merchandise. 

All of us have that one story about the funniest thing we've ever witnessed. It's that one tale that your friend group can tell over and over, since it brings everyone to tears of laughter with every repeated telling. Often, the story involves someone in the friend group falling or making a fool of themselves in some other goofy way. The good people of the r/AskReddit community told their own stories about the funniest things they've personally witnessed, and it's impossible to read them without cracking up with laughter.  

More than one person walked right into a sign in front of all their friends, which can lead to years of teasing. Another group pulled a joke on their friend by putting a fake fly in her chips. But one member of the group could barely conceal their laughter before that friend discovered the fake bug. When the friend finally did find it, the friend group started laughing harder at that than at the actual prank. You never know when you might accidentally become the next subject of the joke! Whether it's at school, work, or just out and about, hilarity can happen at any moment.

In theory, swiping through potential partners on dating apps should not be the soul-crushing activity that it is. It should be thrilling to assess potential suitors, to scroll through their pictures and profile information while imagining what a relationship with them could look like. Unfortunately, reality has made it nearly impossible to enjoy the eternal misery of swiping on the apps.

Perhaps it's our fault for always opening these apps during moments of loneliness and general low points. We have to stop doing that. That being said, at the end of the day, the vast majority of upsetting moments that come from the experience of swiping left or right involves how people present themselves on their profiles. In other words, some of you single folks need to clean up your profile descriptions, learn to be more respectful of others, and learn to expect as much as you give. No more blurry photos with fish or other dudes that make it impossible to decipher who you are. No more strange demands in the descriptions. Let us try to enjoy the experience of swiping left or right on you.

This buyer prepared well before heading to the car dealership: they researched the cars and knew exactly what model they wanted. And of course, they knew the right price that they should've been getting the vehicle for. You can't expect the dealer to give you a low price, you have to fight for it. 

While looking to buy a new car, this person decided to check out a major dealership in their area, since they'd had a good experience with them before. But they'd only had their car serviced there, and they hadn't met their sales department yet. It turns out that the sales department was quite judgy, and made a snap judgment about this person's income just by looking at what they were wearing.

The writer of the story shares that they were so sure they wouldn't buy a vehicle that the dealership assigned an inexperienced worker to show them the cars on the lot. That wouldn't have been so bad if they'd treated this buyer with respect, but the employees seemed to relish in ignoring this person. At least the dealership learned their lesson when u/NOVAEvilCapitalist showed up again to gloat. 

Next up, read about the fake note that one college student left on the Corvette that took up four parking spots. 

Ever noticed how our awwdorable feline friends can disappear into thin air, almost like secret agents? They blend into the background or hide in such a perfectly funny way, it's like they're playing hide and seek. Sometimes we find ourselves asking, "Is that a cat or a potted plant?" They just know how to position themselves in the purrfect spot, mastering the art of camouflage.

These charming cats have us playing a game of "Where's the Cat?" Their camouflage skills are so good, they've almost vanished into their surroundings completely. Felines aren't just awwdorable and amusing to watch; they're full of entertainment. It's a cat's world, and in this one, they've become experts at blending in. Whether they're lounging on a patterned rug or nestled among the bushes, these camouflaged cats prove that when it comes to disappearing acts, they're the masters. So keep your eyes peeled, because you never know where a clever cat might be hiding next!

Laundry thieves are strong contenders for the worst kinds of people. If you're like me and you have a communal laundry room in the basement of your building, you have likely come across a few issues with your fellow neighbors. Sometimes, they take forever to pick up their clean clothes and leave them in the one dryer for hours on end. Sometimes, they remove your clean clothes the minute they are done instead of waiting a few moments for you to pick them up. And sometimes, they just straight-up steal your clothes, laundry basket, or detergent.

Here, we have someone who continued to use their neighbor's laundry detergent without permission. After several notes and warnings to stop doing this, the thief persisted, which left their neighbor with no choice but to enact some well-deserved petty revenge. This meant filling the blue soap box with blue dye and seeing what unfolded.

Keep scrolling below to see what happened after the thief discovered the dye, albeit way too late. For more stories like this, here is one about a wife who locked her husband out of their bedroom because of a petty mistake. 

Hey cat lovers, we hope you're getting through the week like a cat gets through life (gracefully). We woke up today craving a short stack of something, but it certainly isn't pancakes. No, we're craving something specific, something silly, awkward, and adorable…like a stack of singular brain cells in the form of some silly orange cats! We love orange cats. We're not supposed to have a favorite, but here we are saying it, we love orange cats and we're not ashamed of it!

There is no cat sillier than an orange one, no cat that can be simultaneously awkward and adorable, or get themselves into the most ridiculous shenanigans like an orang one can. This is why they are the best, because they always keep you on your toes and you truly never know what they're going to do next. Scroll down to see some hissterical pictures of awkward cats, specially ordered from the orange cat factory!
