‘She laughed as she wrote me up': Manager sends employee home for dress code violation, they use the day off to look for a different job

Fail Blog - Tue, 03/19/2024 - 09:00

If a place of work requires a dress code, they should provide with the clothes, simple as that. An employee should no go out of their way to find something to wear for a shift, and they definitely should not be reprimanded for not having the right clothes on the odd occasion. The need for uniform is truly understandable, but surely a customer would care more about getting a good service from an employee, than about the color of their shoes.

In this Reddit story, an employee had to deal with their manager's unreasonable demands about the dress code. Instead of all-black shoes, OP (original poster) showed up to work with black shoes that had a white sole (I know, how dare they). OP's manager was extremely unsatisfied with those shoes and asked OP to go back home and change them. Since OP lives 30 minutes away from work, they felt like going back would waste a lot of time, but the manager wouldn't hear of it. The dispute continued for a little more until the manager eventually told OP to just go home for the entire day.

'We started calling the dealership': Driver files lawsuit against car dealership that sold them a lemon

Fail Blog - Tue, 03/19/2024 - 08:00

After accidentally buying a lemon, this person had to practically go to battle with their car dealership. 

No one ever said it was easy to buy a new or used car. There's tons of information to research about each model, and when you arrive at a dealership, you'll then have to deal with the salespeople. They want to put you in the priciest car with all of the fancy add-ons. But some shady sales associates go even further than that, as u/functi0nalPsych0path found out just after buying their vehicle. 

At some of the less ethical car dealerships, especially those reselling used cars, customers are in for a terrible surprise. This person barely made it on the road before having car trouble. Their car wouldn't start, because anything that wasn't essential had been stripped from their car. This poor person then had to do the run around with the dealership, AAA, and finally a lawyer, just to get some justice after being sold a complete lemon. 

Check out this person's excellent tale of malicious compliance, complete with a satisfying end to the story. Then, read about the dude who "could not miss this [football] game," so he left his GF at the top of a mountain while he watched the game in his car.

Boss says "no overtime" after accusing employee of "time theft," employee gladly maliciously complies: 'She denies ever saying this'

Fail Blog - Tue, 03/19/2024 - 07:00

No one really wants to work overtime—if you say otherwise, you're lying… or have something else at home that you're avoiding. Who on earth would want to spend a moment longer at work than they had to? Of course, there are exceptions to this—that sweet time and a half pay can be pretty sweet. Still, you'll be rolling your eyes when your boss asks you and weighing up whether or not it's actually worth a better paycheck when you're sacrificing all that time doing things you'd rather be doing.

This goes doubly if you're not being paid to work said overtime… The time and a half pay is the only reason you'd consider working overtime in the first place. And why on earth would you ever want to work without being compensated? Compensation is the point of the whole working deal.

Of course, "cracking down" on overtime is one of the ways that new and shortsighted managers scheme to save on labor. They decide that just outright banning overtime will solve the problem without stopping to wonder why overtime might be a necessity in the first place. So, you end up with ridiculous situations where workers maliciously comply to these overtime bans, gladly taking the chance to work a normal work week.

Manager refuses to let new hire leave early to pick up his kid, he quits the job without notice: ‘I made it clear this was a deal breaker’

Fail Blog - Tue, 03/19/2024 - 06:00

One piece of advice anyone should follow when starting a new job is – get absolutely everything in writing. When you go in to interview for a role, both you and the interviewer might bring up important details on the job and its conditions. If you want to make sure you are actually going to get everything that is talked about, you have to get it all in writing. 

The employee in this Reddit story should have followed this piece of advice. In this Reddit post, he describes a situation in which he told his employer during the interviewing process about the working hours he required since he had to pick up his kid from school. But when his first day came along, the employer acted like they didn't know what he was talking about. This made his whole experience at the job extremely uncomfortable, so when he had a chance to go back to his old job with better pay, he left without notice.

Bride-To-Be Calls Off Her $40k Wedding Because Her Fiancé Dropped Her Cat Off In Outside Without Warning Her

LOL Cats - Tue, 03/19/2024 - 06:00

Over our time writing for ICanHas, we have seen some crazy stories when it comes to relationships and cats. You would think that it would be impossible for this itty bitty adorable creature to cause any kind of drama between two partners, but you would be wrong. We have heard of everything from girlfriends mistreating their boyfriend's cats to people refusing to let their ex's visit their cats all the way to ex's kidnapping their partner's cats and then abandoning them when they got sick. 

All kinds of crazy stories have crossed our paths, but none quite as crazy as the one we have for you today. We cannot imagine being in this situation. To have someone that we love, someone that we have agreed to spend the rest of our lives with, just… out of the blue, decide to get rid of our cat… That's just evil. Yeah, we understand why this led to the wedding being cancelled.

'They got rid of the problem, which was me': Guy gets fired for calling out illegal practices, boss reaches out six months later for his password

Fail Blog - Tue, 03/19/2024 - 05:00

It's a great feeling to know that your boss is going to be absolutely lost without you. If the circumstances with which you are leaving your company were at all contentious, there is at least a sliver of satisfaction knowing your former employer will be totally confused and will have so much trouble finding a decent replacement. Of course, it's much healthier to part ways on good terms and with a sense of professionalism. That being said, if your boss fires you because you were providing too many solutions to illegal marketing practices (which is exactly what happened to this Redditor), you have every right to hold a grudge. 

Flash forward to six months after the dismissal, the original poster's former boss reached out in a panic requesting their password and login information. This left the employee feeling pretty good about how desperate they were without him. Keep scrolling below to see how folks reacted in the comments section. For more stories like this, check out this post about an employee who got rid of their coworkers' snacks.

'Teach that girl some manners!’: Grocery store karen offers father daughter duo unwelcome ‘advice’ while they wait in line for checkout, resulting in grocery store face off

Fail Blog - Tue, 03/19/2024 - 04:00

Some folks enjoy stirring up strife and mayhem. We all know who these folks are, even though it may sound harsh. However, what do you do if you encounter those people? Do you give in so as to avoid a confrontation, or do you approach the Karen head-on with courage and confidence?

The story that follows relates to the account of a clever father who decides to confront the grocery store Karen directly. The Original Poster (OP) had visited a grocery store with his baby daughter. To pass the time while the small girl was in the store, they engaged in a harmless game of cart racing. However, Karen, an impatient grocery store client, heard and decided to chastise the father-daughter duo for their reckless conduct. But instead of keeping his cool in order to appease the conceited Karen, OP decided to take matters into his own hands and teach the challenging Karen a lesson!

That being said, if you're curious to find out how OP exacted revenge, be sure to check out the story below! Once you're finished, don't forget to read the story of the company that sent a random guy a client's personal information, only for the guy to cancel all of their scheduled appointments as payback for the inconvenience!

These people could hardly hold back their laughter after overhearing some odd conversations.
