Hey pals! Who here is a Maine Coon fan? Well, you're in luck! Maine Coon cats, with their majestic appearance and friendly demeanor, hold a special place in the feline kingdom. Renowned for their large size, tufted ears, and luxurious bushy tails, these gentle giants are often referred to as the "gentle giants" of the cat world. Hailing from the United States, particularly the state of Maine, they are one of the oldest and largest domestic cat breeds. Those cats are practically mini tigers living in your house, they're that big. But to us, that just means that there is more cat to love. 

Fun facts about Maine Coons abound. Not only are they impressive in size, with males weighing between 13-18 pounds on average, but they also boast tufted ears and tufts of fur between their toes. Their sociable nature makes them excellent companions, often forming strong bonds with their human families. Despite their substantial size, Maine Coons are known for their soft and silky fur, making them a delight to pet and cuddle.

Saying no is an important skill to learn in life. It takes practice: it can be way easier to instantly say yes to whatever people ask you to do. Especially if you're a people-pleaser, you probably know the pressure of feeling like you have to agree to every request people throw at you. Maybe it's your boss asking if you can stay late at work on a Friday, even though you see him waltzing out of the office at 4 PM. Or perhaps your ex-partner keeps trying to get you back in their life, and you keep agreeing, even though it never really works out for you in the end. And parents know the pressure, too---their kids' schools constantly ask for volunteers to bake food or chaperone trips, and parents feel obligated to agree.

Learning to say no can be difficult at first, because people you care about might be disappointed or hurt. But after some practice, saying no to things feels like a superpower. Once you learn how to protect your peace and choose what's right for yourself, it opens up a whole world of possibilities. The people below had some awesome tales of times like these. They answered the question, "What's the most satisfying "no" you've ever given?" People shared workplace incidents, relationship stories, and more. 

Up next, this dude shares a driveway with his neighbors, but they're totally fine with letting him shovel snow for hours while they remain cozied up indoors. 

Hey, pals. We really love cats. They do funny things, like knocking stuff off tables or grabbing food when we're not looking. Living with them is like daily training for patience. But the best part is when they finally stop and take a nap. They sleep in such weird places and positions, showing just how quirky they are. They're always surprising us with their silliness. Every single day and night, our cats test our patience just by being their weird little selves. We leave it to our cats to constantly keep us on our toes.

But the best part of it all is the few minutes of peace and bliss that we get when they're finally done with their shenanigans and fall asleep. It just so happens that these little weirdos remain weird also in their slumber, as you can see we've put together a jam-packed listicle filled with cats sleeping in weird places and positions that reflect how bizarre they are.

Not all vegans out there subscribe to the stereotype of the intense activists who try to force others into their beliefs. However, as you probably know, there are exceptions. Take the case of a woman who shared an apartment with her vegan roommate. Initially, their relationship was cordial; the OP respected her roommate's dietary choices, and there was no awkward tension between the two.

But things quickly did a 180. After attending a conference on veganism, the roommate became one of those zealous activists, relentless in her mission to convert the OP to the world to veganism. Unable to bear her roommate's longwinded rants, the OP found herself sneaking out of the apartment early in the morning just to enjoy her eggs in solitude, free from her roommate's guilt-inducing lectures claiming that she's evil. 

With the end of their lease nearing, the OP decided it was time for a bit of playful revenge on her overly enthusiastic, plant-loving roommate. Keep reading to see what went down. 

Everyone always says that cats are so friggin' unfriendly, right? Cats are aloof, cats are uncaring, cats only give you the slightest bit of attention when they want you to feed them. All cat haters say that. But we know better. We, cat people, know that they are wrong. We know that cats can love, and when they do, they love hard. They're just also a little pickier about the creatures that they choose to give their love too, and personally, we think that's completely valid. 

But yes, when cats love, they truly love with all of their hearts. And they can love all kinds of creatures. We have seen cats be friends with dogs, we have seen cats be friends with birds, and we have even seen a kitten become best friends with a pig. And today, we've got yet another adorable kitty friendship, the kind that we have never seen before.

It's remarkable how immature fully grown adults can be when they are forced to share space. What's even more remarkable is that none of the three adults in this scenario can afford their own places. Our condolences to the poor parents who have to hear all this squabbling from these literal children who refuse to grow up.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/KingQuenchie, who never seemed to get along with their future sister-in-law. Matters were made worse when they all ended up having to live together, and the very particular sister-in-law started to enforce a list of ridiculous rules. We're not just talking about respectful matters like cleaning up after yourself. We're talking about refusing to acknowledge one another's mere existence. 

Keep scrolling below to see how OP decided to move forward with some well-deserved malicious compliance. For more stories like this, here is a collection of satisfying quitting stories. 

Getting fired from your job stinks—there's really no way around it. Even if you hate your job with a burning passion, the sudden loss of employment and security is nearly impossible to get past easily. But, while getting fired already isn't an ideal scenario, being asked to train the person who is sure to become your replacement is undoubtedly worse. When you're suddenly asked to write a process to document the ins and outs of your position, or your company suddenly hires or promotes someone to "work with you" when you know there's no need for two people to be doing your job—you know you're in dangerous waters. At least—at the very least—this gives you a heads-up that you're about to be let go and lets you plan your next move.

That's exactly what happened when this worker was asked to write a document that would be used to train a new team lead who would be hired into a role that was synonymous with their own. Instead of complying, they turned to this popular online community to ask other members of the community what their next move should be…

Cat lovers understand the challenges of leaving your fur baby at home. Everyone always says that 'your cat is not your child' or 'why are you crying over your cat again?'– but they obviously don't understand that to a real cat purrfessional, this little kitty is their entire world.

How can a human being not faint at the sight of newly born kittens? Exactly. With a bleeding heart, comes the infinite love of cats. Kitties may not show their mutual affection for their pawrents, but cat lovers know that when their little orange goober comes dashing around the corner for a snickity snack, they're in for a treat themselves.

They say the grass is always greener on the other side, but when you're a working-class employee looking through the glass ceiling at your useless CEO's designer shoes, it's hard to resist the allure of infinite wealth in exchange for a 10-hour workweek. Although most of us aren't slogging hours at the mines like our predecessors, there's still something off-putting about a 40-hour work week for meager pay. With only two weekend days to live a regular life and be a human being, can't you argue that your work persona is more dominant? If you've ever worked retail or customer service, your work personality persisting much longer than your clocked-in hours is a little unsettling. 

Riddle me this– but what if we harnessed our inner CEO? Clock in, gossip with your favorite coworker a little (shareholders), and then send a mass email to an overflowing email inbox saying, 'Let's circle back to this next quarter!' What a life that would be...

So take a 10-minute break, scroll through some memes, and make sure to use the bathroom as often as possible while you're on company time.

Mama Bears are the fiercest competitor at the store, collecting goods and gifts for their offspring. However, as they're vying for front-of-the-line positions, fighting for special deals, and demanding that retail employees jump through hoops for the purchases, mothers can quickly transform into Karens. But for u/ineedatinylama, a retail cashier with more tenacity than any of her Karenish foes, vanquishing an onerous customer was as simple as walking away. 

After a particularly nasty Karen clawed her way to the front of the line at OP's toy store, she started hurling impossible requests and ordering the employees to conjure an out-of-stock item out of thin air. Well apparently, the only way to combat a Karen who suddenly thinks their servants are magicians is to prove them right and magically disappear. PLOOF. 

Scroll onward to read how this sassy cashier maliciously complied with a Karen's demands and saved herself the trouble of dealing with her nonsense any longer.

At the end of the day, you can't accurately gauge someone's income solely based on their job title. Salaries can fluctuate significantly across different industries. So, never think you're better than anyone because you assume you make more money than them. This lesson hit home when a group of entitled friends decided to mock their acquaintance for being an agricultural engineer, dismissing it as not a "real" engineering profession. Throughout their group dinner with their families, they belittled him with arrogant jokes until their wives told them to stop. In a bid to assert dominance, one of the friends proudly disclosed his earnings from the previous year. To the OP's surprise, it amounted to only a fraction of what he made as an agricultural engineer made. Yet, the OP wasn't ready to give up so easily; he wanted to deliver an even more cutting blow for his revenge. Keep reading to discover how the OP responded and the ensuing reactions from the entitled friends.

Our awwdorable feline friends seem to have discovered a world of joy in the humble realm of toilet paper. It's their purrfect paper pawty, a playground of fun where the possibilities are endless. From playfully rolling it around to engaging in spirited chases, catching it with ninja-like precision, and even taking a seat right in the midst of the soft rolls, our awwdorable cats turn this everyday item into their personal haven of amusement.

The magic doesn't stop there  they find delight in sitting beside it, inside the paper bags, and creating what might seem like a massive mess to us, but to them, it's an artistic masterpiece. Caught in the act, our furry friends look at us with surprise, as if to say, "How dare you interrupt our playtime?" Even if our homes, especially the bathrooms, end up covered in a sea of toilet paper, the joy our feline companions derive from their creative exploits is undeniable.

When you become a father, you are now a father 24-7 for the rest of your life. Even if you choose to ignore those duties, that is still you affecting your child as a father, a bad father, but still a father. One of the biggest struggles parents tend to have is letting their child be free to do what they want. Parents want their kids to not make the mistakes they did growing up, so they forbid them from it. But the thing is, that isn't going to stop them, especially once they are grown…

Making a custom order can be the perfect gift, but only if the creator actually writes what you want! There are seemingly quite a few sellers out there who have taken some liberties with what they'll write on a shirt or a cake. 

Getting a custom birthday cake for someone is usually a sweet surprise. The birthday celebrator gets to have a professional-looking cake to take photos with and commemorate the occasion. But as you can see from the numerous examples below, sometimes a simple request for a cake can go off the rails. I wonder if this is sometimes due to a language barrier. Maybe the person frosting cakes that day doesn't speak English fluently enough to realize that instructions don't need to be printed on the cake (I'm thinking of the cake that reads, "Contains egg"). It's also possible that these decorators have just had customers berate them enough times that they just don't question what's written down: they just ice it right onto the cake. It's very funny regardless, and hopefully the birthday kid will remember it as a fond memory. 

Next up, these folks shared the silliest ways they've made money, like one person who said, "My dad used to pay my sister and I $1 an hour to be quiet."
