Let this story serve as a friendly reminder to never try to save your company extra money. That will almost always backfire in some way, and in this case, a worker ended up getting denied payment proper payment. It's the kind of lesson that applies to friendships and relationships as well. If you're going out on a limb trying to impress or extend acts of kindness to someone, you better get that kind of treatment in return. Otherwise, you'll end up feeling used.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by an employee who frequently had to travel for work but decided to try to save his company some money by checking out of his hotel early and spending the last couple of nights in a visiting city with a friend of his. Well, guess what happened next? OP was denied his per diem for his last few days of travel despite continuing to work those final days. According to folks in the comments section, this is unfortunately a common mistake that most traveling employees learn by making the error. Keep scrolling below for the full play-by-play and best reactions. For more, here's a post about an employee who refused to clean up his boss's mess.

Meow, meow hoomans it is Tuesday and there is a good chance that you have found yourself in a state of simply cannot be bothered, and we are right there with you. Tuesday has this slightly stuck feeling about it, and it is most certainly not the one, as the kids would say. Which is why we made today's collection of spicy memes of cats who woke up and chose laziness. But only because violence demanded too much energy and effort.

From the cats who got caught trying to unlock their pawrents phones with face ID, to the kitties who just want someone to read them a book and go to sleep, to the felines who got caught posting facetious comments about their workplace on social media, to the felines who take pride in their status as king of the household who does not lift a finger and is always taken care off. These felines are feeling the laziness today and are ready to join you in a low energy, lazy approach to Tuesday.

You give someone your little finger, and they'll eventually take the whole hand. I learned the hard way that many people online are fishing for constant donations, and it usually isn't the ones who actually need it. I didn't really lose anything in the process, but I do wish I would have given certain things to people who would actually make use of them.

One good-willed person's kindness went south after scouring 'Free stuff' groups online and offering 6 bags of clothing and food to a young family in need. The mother in the family had uploaded a post, asking if anyone had any food or clothing to spare, and OP, being the good samaritan they were, immediately offered help.

Unfortunately, one thing led to another, and the mother wasn't satisfied with what she got. OP felt really used and was upset that they had even donated in the first place. Scroll down for the full tale of events and conversation, and then check out this young worker who used a forklift to get back at a petty sales rep. Don't mess with the construction crew…

When you adopt a cat, you should be ready to sacrifice a few important things, for example, any concept of purrsonal space, going to the bathroom alone, and essentially the deed to your house. One of the smaller things you may have to give up is having a cat-free kitchen counter, as cats pawsitively love seeing what you're up to at every second of the day, especially when you're in a place where food is involved! No one likes to clean up paw prints before you cook every day, so one Redditor took to the interwebz and asked their fellow feline fanatics if they had any tips and tricks. Spoiler alert, they didn't!

What they did have, however, were some absolutely hissterical comedic counsel on how to accept the fact that once you have a counter cat, you have to live with one. These cheeky cats run the house, and the sooner you accept that the happier your life will be. Scroll down to soak up all this hilarity below, and clean your counters before every use!

Working in a corporate setting sometimes means having to silently give in to senior management. Whether or not we agree with their business tactics is irrelevant; what matters is that we ease their burden by complying with all of their requests without causing any trouble.

The story below is an account of a bookkeeper who works for a huge home improvement store. For whatever reason, despite the rigorous hours, upper management insisted for years that bookkeepers close and open the store. To put things in perspective, the bookkeeper is expected to close the store at eleven p.m. and turn up for opening the very next day at five a.m. Put another way, considering the way they were conducting business, it would make more sense for OP to spend the night at the convenience store than to make the drive back home and come back a few hours later.

After a number of years and a series of events, the management was eventually replaced. But instead of making the bookkeepers' jobs easier, the new management felt compelled to misuse their power and significantly worsen the situation. Therefore, following years of inequitable treatment, OP and his associates finally decided to take matters into their own hands and, in a sense, 'trick the system' to obtain fair remuneration and benefits. Having said that, read the story below to learn about the clever scheme to exact revenge on senior management! After you're through, check out the story about the manager who fires an employee after a prolonged illness here!

We love our little neighborhood bodega store. It has everything you need in one place, and it also comes with a cute cat to help you with all of your purrsonal shopping. Sometimes we need help deciding which type of chips to get, and if the bodega cat is lying on one brand, we know we have to go for the other one. They make our choices easier, and we get to get some awwdorable kitty time in with our groceries. It's a win-win situation, honestly.

Whether these bodega cats are helping you pick out some candy for Valentine's Day, assisting you at the cash register, or simply just lounging around being cute while we do our shopping, we wouldn't have the true bodega experience without them. Scroll down to soak up all these beautiful babies serving up some colorful corner-store cuteness below and make sure you give them a tasty treat on your way out!

These pets have been on their worst behavior, and they have no regrets about it! 

Some pets are just blatantly naughty, and they don't care who knows it. Lots of cats are this way: they'll solemnly knock glasses to the floor, zoom around your home knocking furniture over, or leave unsavory "gifts" for their owners to find. Every cat believes they're the best cat to ever exist, so obviously everything they do is perfect. Since your cat allows you to live with them, your cat thinks you should be grateful that they slept on your clean laundry. Your kitty wants their hair all over your clean work clothing, duh. You just don't understand their wishes! 

On the other hand, most dogs seem to want to be very good boys and girls. They adore their humans and they want to show it all the time. But occasionally they do mess up. Some pups can't resist chewing on your shoes, since they smell like the person your dog loves most. Others love to take off running at full speed, while you run behind them shouting at them to stop. That makes it like a game to them! At least dogs have the ability to feel guilty about their mistakes, whereas cats couldn't care less. 

These people shared all the times that their beloved critters got into trouble. You can check out their great anecdotes below! After that, one grocery shopper left a lengthy message for a customer, and it has the customer wanted to take back their tip.

Creatures of the feline variety possess an uncanny ability to effortlessly lift our spirits; their presence is a guaranteed smile-inducer. It's a level of cuteness that's hard to resist.

Now, let's talk Tuesday essentials. One crucial element that keeps us afloat amid the madness of reality is the beloved elixir of life: caffeine. Recently, we've been riding the black tea wave. Rumor has it that black tea packs a solid caffeine punch, making it a natural choice for us. While we hold our perennial caffeinated companion, coffee, dear to our hearts, we occasionally spice things up. But amidst the variations, our unwavering devotion to all things feline remains constant. Go ahead and treat yourself to a plethora of mood-boosting cat memes for that instant soul uplift. You got this.

It's only natural to get curious about how much your coworkers are making, but there is a fine line between being nosy and literally opening up the envelope with their paycheck in it.

Albeit, this employee was young, but that doesn't excuse her behavior… She was in college but was working for OP, at a tanning salon in her free time, trying to make some extra cash on the side. Being the snoop she was, she opened up everyone's envelopes to see their pay. Don't try this at home, you WILL get fired. So, how exactly did her boss, OP, find out about this indiscretion? 

Well, the employee in question sent an accusatory message in the group chat, exposing the boss for 'paying another employee more money for the same job'. The thing was, there was a very good reason that one of the employees was making more than everyone else. But OP wasn't about to inform her of the reason, and instead, gave her exactly what she wanted… Scroll down to read the full story and when you are done, check out this snow-shoveling neighbor who got back at a woman in his neighborhood for being entitled and expecting him to plow her driveway every day.

One of the great things about playing role-playing games—apart from the suspense of disbelief—is taking massive, audacious risks and watching them pay off in real time. This is both thrilling and rewarding, as there's really no real-life risk involved. However, it would be foolish to think that just because there's no real-life risk in the game, you can translate your character's behavior into real life. Basically, just because you're roleplaying as a charismatic womanizing bard doesn't give you license to become a sleazy casanova in real life who feels they're entitled to the affections of the DM's (Dungeon Master's) sister.

This DM was forced to ban a new player from her group's table after he rolled consecutive critical misses. First, failing a perception check and then rolling a one on persuasion, all while apparently forgetting that he hadn't put any points into charisma. The Dm is now wondering if she did the right thing and appealing to the internet for their thoughts.

Over our time writing for ICanHasCheezburger, we have come across some extremely memorable cat adoption stories. Like the story of the story of the extremely handsome firefighter who rescued a cat from the rubble in Turkey and went super viral for it, or the story of the person who adopted the senior 'sick cat that no one wanted' and gave it a second chance at life. We have seen many stories like these, and each and every one of them warms our hearts and gives us hope for humanity, but we have never seen a cat adoption story anything like the one that we are covering today.

A cat with gang tattoos that has been living in a Mexican prison with cartel members lost his owner after said owner escaped prison and was caught… got readopted, and this is his amazing, unbelievable story.

What is the point in filling out a schedule if your availability is not going to be honored by your manager? It's kind of the whole point in having an elaborate shift-based schedule in the first place. And look: we are sympathetic to the fact that last-minute crises occur and schedules have to be adjusted accordingly. However, when those instances do occur and managers need to call in favors, they should remember that they are in no place to make demands. Asking nicely if someone can shuffle around their availability to come in is the only way to handle this responsibly. Demanding that workers come in during their "off" hours and pretending like this is allowed and within the jurisdiction of management is how you lose any semblance of loyalty.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/FishstickJonson, and it did not take long for folks in the comments to roast "Nick the manager" and to provide suggestions for OP. Hopefully, OP stood his ground and didn't give in, as so many employees are pressured to do. For more content like this, check out this post about an employee who refused to clean up their boss's mess.
 

At a certain point, ordering a specific dish without the vital components that make it that specific dish in the first place becomes pretty pointless. For example, if you order a cheeseburger without cheese, it's just a hamburger; and if you order eggs benedict without hollandaise sauce, that's just poached eggs on a bun; and if you order a Ceasar salad without anchovies, you're just going to get a few lettuce leaves and croutons on a plate.

Hey hoomans! The amount of wrath and anger we had to deal with this morning was absurd, but hey, it's Monday. Loki is a ferocious cat with a diva-like cat-itude, as we all know. Quite frankly, though, nothing could have prepared us for the misery she made us suffer this morning. We truly feel horrible for our adorable little feline because our return to work affects her. She just sits there by herself, waiting for us to come home. But there's still no excuse for her tantrum this morning.

But don't worry about us—we were just in need of a little airing out. That being said, in light of current events, we have collected hilarious pics of furious cats specifically for you! We've chosen a few of the cutest pictures that are sure to put a smile on your face. So, take a look at these cute pictures below, and after you're through, check out purrfect fluffy felines with a passion for fashion here!

How many cats are too many cats? We do not mean generally, but when would you say is the right time to stop bringing more cats into your home? There are many firm believers that the cats in the house should not outnumber the humans. So if there are two humans, the maximum number of cats should also be two. But the more you adopt these furry little angels, the more you want, and we find it hard to say there is such a thing as too many cats. That is probably why there are many people out there, whether completely single people or even whole families, with a whole pack of sweet awwdorble felines (which is called a clowder, by the way).

One thing we know for sure is there could never be too many cat memes, so scroll down to enjoy this clowder of hissterical cat memes. Once you are done, click here for a purrfect collection of cats and their go-to awdorable pictures.

Howdy hoomans! You won't believe where we discovered little Loki lazily dozing off this morning. When we awoke bright and early, Loki was resting on our gorgeous white orchid pot plants! For the past few months, we have been tending to our lovely orchid. We followed all the instructions and steered clear of breezes, cold areas, rooms with abrupt decreases in temperature, and hot air vents. But in one swift move, Loki storms into the room and destroys the beautiful flower!

Even though it hurts to think of all the TLC (tender, love, and care) we've given our orchid, we can't help but smile at how cute Loki looks relaxing in the pot plant. As a tribute to our fluffy feline friend who destroys orchids, we've put together a collection of cute cats perched in pot plants just for you! So, have a look at the pictures below, and when you're finished and ready for some fun, don't forget to check out these hissterical cats who love fashion!
