'To the 249 other guests, she looked normal: Bride tricks attention-seeking guest

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 14:00

One bride had a fantastic idea for dealing with a wedding guest who loved to steal the spotlight. 

When it's your wedding day, the couple wants the whole day to revolve around them, their love story, and the guests they've brought along to celebrate. Every wedding is a little different, but generally, the focus is supposed to be on the couple celebrating their vows to each other as they start their married life. 

In India, weddings are a massive deal. They're often at least three days, and sometimes much longer. There are frequently hundreds of guests who gather for various events, dances, and meals. And, as u/Both-Awareness-8561 shared in their story, the dress code encourages people to "dress as lavish as possible." No matter how fancy you dress, the bride and groom will still steal the show. 

Still, this bride was quite worried about her cousin, a known scene-stealer. Some people just can't help themselves, and at least this bride thought ahead about how to deal with her relative's antics. 

Check out the story below---it's great food for thought on how to handle an attention-seeker in your life with grace and dignity. And after that, read about these parents who decided to impeach their entire HOA

'I enjoy what I do but I don't do it for free': Construction worker stands up to boss after getting docked 15 minutes for being one minute late

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 13:00

This dude created a wave of malicious compliance seemingly by accident! He was standing up to his boss after getting his time docked fifteen minutes for being just one minute late. This new policy proved to be ridiculous, and so the Redditor decided he wouldn't work for free during those fifteen minutes, knowing that it's fully illegal to require workers to do so. When his coworkers saw this tactic work, they all followed suit and it was only a matter of time before their horrible boss was called out by his boss for enforcing a policy that led to decreased productivity.

This thread, which was shared to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, is a mostly positive tale of worker solidarity… that is until the original poster revealed that his boss got his own revenge not much later. Thankfully, according to his responses in the comments section below, he found a better job at a competing company afterward. For more stories like this, take a look at this one about "age awareness" training at work.

Goofy Cat Memes To Get You Amped For The Weekend

LOL Cats - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 13:00

With the weight of a new month, new deadlines, new hoomans you have to interact with bearing down on us like a cat does to an insect it has chased for the last half hour. It can feel like things are not moving in a particularly desirable direction. But what you have to remember is that the weekend is coming soon and with it things will get better. Which is why we made today's collection of goofy cat memes to get you amped for the weekend.

From the kitten who has absolutely no clue what is being talked about, to the cats who are working towards normalizing sending memes to stay in touch when you have nothing to say, to the pawdorable fluff balls hitting the gym, to the cool cats who are well aware that life is hard, but who know that they are harder. These are just the kind of memes that we all could do with right now to keep our sights set on the things that matter, the weekend.

'[He] had a great idea on how to fix the flood': Upstairs neighbor deals with flooded kitchen in the weirdest possible way

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 12:00

Thinking outside the box is this neighbor's specialty. 

What's the worst thing your neighbor's ever done? Mine have stolen package after package, knowing they wouldn't get caught in a building with dozens of apartments. Even installing cameras hasn't helped much. Other people have issues with their neighbors parking in front of their houses. Some drivers simply do not care if their massive trucks are blocking the sidewalk. Then there are neighbors who seem to have the cops on speed dial, ready to call up the moment someone starts a party on a Saturday afternoon or dares to let their kids play outside. 

This person's story really takes the cake, though. U/rey0505 has a "Kevin" (aka someone who is always completely clueless) for an upstairs neighbor. Being the downstairs neighbor sure does come with its challenges. You can often hear your upstairs neighbor as they plod around the house, play their favorite tunes, or watch TV at a frightful volume. Somehow, this Kevin managed to make all those issues look like child's play.

Ex-Wife Enforces Petty Divorce Rule, Husband Gets Even With Malicious Compliance, Both Get Roasted Online

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 11:00

Divorce court has essentially become a cesspool of petty behavior. Many of us know this from personal experience, and the rest of us know from soapy film and television. Regardless, it doesn't take a stranger to divorce to understand that when kids are involved, it does not take long for vindictive parents to start using their children as pawns. 

This dude was the recipient of pettiness during his divorce when his ex-wife enforced a rule that essentially meant that any future long-term partner of her ex-husband's could not and would not be allowed to babysit. Her ex, who shared this post via Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, saw right through the rule and couldn't wait to be able to use it to his advantage one day. When that day came to pass, he shared his side of the story online with an air of triumph, only to get roasted in the comments section for going just as low as his ex-wife did.

There is an abundance of wholesome feline memery on offer today to help you set off on the right paw this month.

'I guess I'm not working at all, then': Engineer gets 3 days off work after micromanager demands he provide a ‘doctor’s note' to work from home

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 10:00

This story is about (drum roll, please) new management and the silly demands they make in order to make a statement at a workplace.

They stroll in, head high, title in check, scanning employees to see who will break the easiest. Who can they push around, and who will fight back? Well, one employee was not having it with their new boss. The employee was an engineer for the company, and they had one mandatory team day at the office. OP wasn't feeling well, so they informed their boss that they wouldn't be able to make it to the office, and offered to work from home instead. That email was met with a swift, 'Agreements must be respected' and "Mandatory days can't be missed without a doctor's note'.

Okay then, thought OP, and went to the doctor that same day. Scroll down to read the full, detailed account of events, and when you're done, here is a company that attempted to charge a former employee for failing to cancel their company card… Even though it wasn't their job.

‘I know inflation is crazy, but this is nuts’: Duo spending $1,300 on groceries every month scores 32+ tips from frugal altruists

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 09:00

Watching the grocery store cashier ring up your food items, makes every working-class shopper rethink that second box of gourmet cookies. As the receipt tallies your haul of hunted and gathered groceries, it's hard not to think of those days when a family of four could live off of a $20 grocery store run for a whole week– nowadays, $20 gets you a box of lettuce, 12 eggs, and a cluster of bananas (if you're lucky). 

Shrinkflation and rising costs may be lining the pockets of the grocery conglomerate's pockets, but it's having a devastating effect on the common man's wallet. However discouraging it may seem out there, as we all desperately try to fill the fridge, one couple collected an astonishingly simple list of money-saving tips from some of the most frugal shoppers online.

'My dad used to pay my sister and I $1 an hour to be quiet': 30+ Silly ways people made some quick cash

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 08:00

According to these people, you don't always have to work hard for your money. On a rare occasion, the money will come right to you. 

Every now and then, you might stumble across a job that seems just too good to be true. It's good to have a healthy dose of skepticism for things of that nature, but sometimes it really is the real deal. 

For some jobs, having an employee on standby is the only thing that's required. There's one industry where this is endemic: film and TV. For actors and crew alike, there's a "hurry up and wait" type of system in place. A few people with experience in the film industry told their stories below, and they sound like so much fun! It seems like a lot of the time, directors will plan to film maybe two or three scenes in a day. But they don't know how long each scene will take, and there are often issues with lighting, sound, actors, or needing a dozen takes from different angles, as well as other factors that can cause the shoot time to run long. So if you're an actor who isn't needed until that third scene, you might show up to set for 12 hours and never need to act at all. It's just important that you're there, hair and makeup done, ready to jump in at a moment's notice. 

Other people got paid for less professional reasons, like parents who need technical help. It's always sweet when parents try to pay you for no reason! 

Check out these great stories below. Then, read about one coworker who got so fed up with their supervisor's poor trip planning that they decided to sabotage all future travel plans

Confused Hawk Attempts To Eat A Completely Clueless Kitten Through The Front Windshield Of A Car (Video)

LOL Cats - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 08:00

There is a whole debate raging on the interwebs every like - week and a half about whether you should keep your cats indoors or let them out. And there are good reasons for both. We have read them, we're aware of them, we see the value in them. And then… we see a video like the one from today, and we find ourselves, yet again, leaning toward the 'you should keep your cats inside' side. Because if this is what's going when our kitties are roaming the streets on their own, then for our peace of mind, we'd keep them in. 

An itty bitty kitty, calmly sitting inside inside of a car, suddenly gets pounced on by a hawk. Now, thankfully, the hawk was a little confused and didn't realize that this "easy" prey was protected by a nice thick piece of glass, because this kitten's instincts are definitely the ones of an indoor cat.

‘Actually, I don’t need your permission': Student gets back at principal who gives classmates demerit points based on dress code

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 07:00

One student became furious when her school principal gave one of her friends demerit points for 'dress code violations'. The most annoying part was that even though she was wearing the same thing as her friend, she didn't get told off. In a sense, this student was upset that they hadn't been punished. That's some real loyalty right there!

The issue was bigger than that, though. This principal would only give certain girls in the school dress code violations. Unfortunately, this was a recurring thing. So a lesson had to be learned, and OP was the student who was going to teach it! Since OP was in charge of the art club, she had been planning a project where she gave 10 disposable cameras to each grade. Everyone would pass the cameras around and take pictures of their day. Later, OP would have them developed and mounted on display… She knew that her principal would never give her permission for such a project, so she turned to someone else instead…

Next up, some hilarious work memes to put you in a better mood.

'I am, in fact, a customer': University student calls out their professor for providing "bad service" after receiving an unfair grade

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 06:00

While it's probably a controversial take, the argument stands with strong reason: If you're a landlord or a professor or in any other position where someone is paying you for something you're providing them… you're providing a service, and the person paying you is entitled to good service. Far too many of these "service providers" not only regard this as unnecessary but also regard themselves as above the person paying them and use this to placate their nagging conscience. Who hasn't had a landlord who refuses to acknowledge their obligations? Or a professor on tenure who is only reluctantly teaching the class because they're being forced to by the university?

Still, it's important to also acknowledge that this line of argument could lead to a lot of entitlement from students who feel that they're being wronged when they're not really being wronged. Anyways, this was the topic of conversation in this online discussion, and commenters couldn't have been more divided on the issue.

'12 out of 16, including myself, quit': 15+ satisfying quitting stories where an entire group walked out together

Fail Blog - Thu, 02/01/2024 - 05:00

Like most things in life, quitting is safer in numbers. The following quitting stories are all the more satisfying because here, we have entire teams walking out, throwing in the towel, and leaving in droves. That's what you get for trying to mess with your employees' time, schedules, workloads, and stress levels. 

These stories take me back to the days of an unpaid internship which shall remain nameless. The other interns and I expected to be doing research and standard office duties. However, when we arrived, we learned that the bulk of our duties were limited to janitorial work because they no longer used a cleaning service (true story!). Unfortunately, I did not have safety in numbers as other folks did not want to quit on the spot with me. But after things did not get better following the first week, I couldn't stomach it any further and I quit at the end of that day. Thankfully, I found another internship (this time, a paid one) less than a week later.

Keep scrolling below for these quitting stories. When you're done, check out this petty email exchange between an employee and their boss.
