As every retail employee knows, shoppers change their persona when they walk into a store. Nobody knows how or why, but even the most benevolent people can transform into feral Karens as soon as they walk in front of a store cashier, pillaging the aisles like there's no tomorrow. Armed to the teeth with coupons and complaints, customers are ready to pirate the best deals of the day, even if the sales are imaginary; so when a retail pro tells you that they've seen it all, they've seen it aaaaall.

Hey, friends! Are you all familiar with the "not my cat" phenomenon? It can present itself in many ways, but the common theme is that a cat, which is most certainly not yours, appears in your space. Living in a city with a large population of stray cats, I encounter many a "not my cat" as I go about my daily business. Unfortunately, not all of them can transition from being "not my cat" to being "my cat" but I give them lots of snacks and love. We humans don't deserve the presence of cats, we are not worthy and the best we can do is appreciate them with all of their whimsical feline charm. 

Encountering a 'not my cat' is a uniquely charming experience. At first, it feels heartwarming – a sense of being chosen and esteemed as the feline's favored haven. Now go ahead and indulge in the delightful chronicles of these whimsical "not my cat" moments – a series that captures the evolution from a transient visitor to an unexpected, endearing companion.

After being a part of a close-knit social circle for some time, one of the friends within the group began showing some problematic behavior. Over time, this so-called friend's behavior continued to deteriorate and spiral out of control. What started innocently enough with him 'borrowing' money from some friends and failing to pay them back evolved into outright stealing. Even though he repeatedly denied it, the friends knew that this guy who called himself a businessman actually made his money by taking advantage of others.

Rather than immediately severing ties, the group hesitated, giving him the benefit of the doubt. As the stealing went on and the entitled friend accumulated over $7,000 from the group combined, they had no other option but to get revenge and give him a taste of his own medicine. Surprisingly, he never saw it coming...

Imagine getting a job offer and going to sign the paperwork to make it official, only to learn that your new bosses changed their minds. Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. It's not exactly that they changed their minds, but it's more that they didn't exactly review the availability you put down on your initial application carefully enough. Clearly, they wanted someone with full-time availability for a part-time position, a classic move from employers who have no moral code. 

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/skyhawk214, who shared the initial job offer they received via email before the offer was immediately rescinded. We empathize with OP's frustration here, as this is not the first time we've come across a story where a job applicant made something clear from the very beginning and that was not honored. We should all know by now that an interview process is a two-way street, and both parties should make their intentions and expectations clear from the get-go to have a smooth hiring process. Unsurprisingly, it turns out that it's harder to get that transparency from potential employers than anyone else.

They say the customer is always right, even though that's usually not the case; this time, however, the customer was very right indeed when they put a manager in their place who was being impolite to their staff in front of the customers.

Howdy cat lovers and cat aficionados! Although we all love our fair share of alley cats and scraggly stray kitties, sometimes it's simply a delight to lay eyes on a feline that is so beautiful and so dazzling that we can't imagine ever witnessing in anything so pristine or purrfect ever again. Cats were born to be gorgeous– they're lean, they're floofy, they have big globe-like eyes and a flickering tail –what's not to love? 

Kittens are naturally designed to draw us hoomans in, but some cats are more gifted in the gorgeousness department. There are cattos out there that are more beautiful than any A-list actor and more striking than a rare jewel, and these cats deserve an altar to sit on or a wall to be carved into. But for lack of the necessary building materials, I've constructed instead a collection of pretty kitties that are so breathtaking they deserve their own feature in the cat calendar of the ages.

Hello cat lovers!

What would you do if your grey cat began changing colors, becoming more and more… well, orange? You might fear that they would begin losing brain cells (this is a well-known illness that orange cats seem to share), or you might start worrying that is something else… Of course, you turn to the internet, because what else are you going to do?

This cat owner took to r/cats because of exactly that reason, and the reactions ranged from wholesome to hissterical, as the world wide web informed this cat owner that their cat was going to be just fine… But that was a Dilute Tortie kitten! That means that there was nothing wrong with this cute kitty at all. Scroll down to read the entire thread, and then check out these adorable Main Coon cats!

One employee sent a scathing resignation email to the entire company after quitting, due to not getting a raise in over three years.

Three years is a LONG time. Has this manager not heard of companies paying their employees competitive salaries? Believe it or not, there are actually companies willing to pay their employees well. Some managers simply do not appreciate their team enough, and that leads to quick turnover, which is not the ideal business model, if you know what I mean…

When will companies learn? When will managers start fighting for their employees? So many questions. At least we don't owe them anything, and we can technically leave when we have had enough. I can definitely relate to feeling unappreciated, and I am sure many of you feel the same. Reading this email felt like someone was talking to my soul. Scroll down to read it for yourself, and then let me know which part resonated with you the most. Next up, more awful work stories, duh.

Here is a hotel guest who showed up at the front desk, expecting to be checked in before they actually paid.

Whenever new management enters the equation, there are bound to be a few issues that pop up, that can affect the entire company… but mostly the employees working under them. This boss joined a small cell phone company in a rural area, and coming from New York, he had no idea what kind of environment he was getting himself into. One of his employees, OP, worked on cell phone towers and used the company's competitors' phones sometimes when he had no service.

The former boss had no issue with this, but this new boss definitely did, and forbade OP from using their phones, no matter what. He even told OP that if he dared using the competitors phone again, he would fire him. So, to put it simply, OP decided that malicious compliance was the only way this boss would be taught a lesson.

OP got stuck in a freak snowstorm with no service, and instead of using the competitors' payphones, he drove around for 9 hours, leading to a bunch of overtime. What ensued after this act of petty revenge was a chaotic phone call with the VP of the company and his boss. Shortly thereafter, OP's boss was fired. Scroll down to read the full, detailed account of events. For more stories like this, here is a resident whose vendetta against his neighbor ended in his own motorhome getting towed.

Too often, I've seen tourists ignore big blatant signs in their own native language that read, 'Do not enter'. But enter, they do. Sometimes they get lucky, while other times, not so much. And I'm not speaking from a 'high and mighty' place, because I myself have ignored instructions and had to pay the price. One person posted a question to r/askreddit, asking which unwritten rules tourists always seem to ignore when they are on vacation abroad. There is a whole variety of answers from people living in different countries around the world. Some were surprising, while others I assume would be obvious to the average Joe.

Who knew that you couldn't touch a cute, purple and green octopus you found floating about on the beach? Just kidding, that one is a given. My parents always made sure to tell me, 'Do not touch ANYTHING' when we went traveling (abroad or otherwise). Scroll down for the comments, and then check out this story of a woman who never planned to pay someone she hired to create Christmas stockings for her kids.

At one nursing home, management decisions created a domino effect. 

Nurses do very valuable work every day to keep their patients healthy and cared for. Doctors get a lot of the credit, but nurses help patients just as much. Shifts are usually at least 12 hours, but if you're working with great people who also care about their patients and the staff members, time will fly by. 

This nurse, u/Tinawebmom, writes that she really enjoyed working at one facility. She writes that the staffers were so close with their patients that they'd make time to eat lunch with them. This was thanks to the management at the time, who were easily-approachable bosses. However, their board decided it was time to hire an outside management company to save a few dollars. That's often a sign for employees to run the other way as fast as possible. These management companies might save money, but they don't care how ruthless they have to be to achieve their goals. A lot of their decisions only make sense in the most short-term ways. How will you run a nursing home without staff? Would this plan work for longer than like, a week? It's pretty baffling, and it's a shame that the OP had to go through such a bad experience. 

You can check out her whole story below. Then, read all about one retail employee who got back at their entitled supervisor.

Perhaps everyone should have made their resolutions this year to be kinder to their servers and bartenders. If you're not part of the problem but you are witnessing a Karen customer throwing a tantrum for no good reason, perhaps you should consider stepping in and defending the people who have been on their feet for multiple hours and are just trying to get you your food and drinks the way you ordered them. No one is trying to mess up, and so much of what goes on in a bar or restaurant is outside of your server's control. 

Lest we forget, your server also has the power to make things harder for the customer. They could "accidentally" fumble your order or spill your drink all over your fancy attire. They could make it seem like the kitchen is more backed up than it is and let your food get cold. Some of them could even throw you out of the bar. Keep scrolling below for these top stories, which were compiled from Reddit's r/TalesFromYourServer subreddit. When you're done, check out these bad resume errors.
