It's incredible when your employer thinks they own your entire life just because they're paying you for a small amount of your time. For some reason, they seem to think that giving your time to other interests somehow takes away from your contributions to your work. Almost as if they feel threatened that you have a life outside your career. This probably stems from the fact that their work is probably their entire life, and they probably can't stand being home with their spouse and kids. As a result, they simply can't fathom the fact that someone else might want to spend their time and energy on other things.

This viral story was shared to a popular online community for workplace discussion by user u/InfinateMad, who shared their story of being told by a very forward HR manager that if they have the time to work a side hustle on their weekends, then they should just be working weekends for the company.

Sometimes people end up in the right place, at the right time. 

This wholesome update shared by u/cailloushawty on r/cats made our hooman hearts swell with joy! OP had uploaded a post with a few photos regarding a neighborhood cat whose family had left him behind when they moved. It garnered quite a bit of attention, as of course, nobody likes hearing about a poor animal who was abandoned by its owners… That is why OP's most recent post, sharing the fact that OP had adopted this adorable cat, was so heartwarming. OP made sure to add lots of photos so that fellow Redditors who had been following this cat's story could see how great its new life was.

Howdy hoomans! Today is officially the last day of the week! Today is the day that marks the end of the week! We look forward to spending as much time as we can with our small, fluffy kitten while curled up on the couch and watching our favorite movies. Our all-time favorite movie is "Garfield"—who could resist his adorable sarcasm? Our little kitty is a huge fan of the movie!  It's probably because they are spitting images of one another out. They both have amazing ginger fur, captivating blue eyes, and an attitude that is unrivaled—or what we like to call cat-titude—that is simply irresistible!

To celebrate our big weekend plans, we've put together a hilarious collection of screenshots where other hoomans have added the word 'cat' to different movie titles. We were so moved by the comments that we had to share a few of our favorites with you! Having said that, take a peek at the screenshots below if you want to have a brief yet enjoyable giggle! And after you're done, check out adorable tuxedo cats sporting their fancy birthday suits here!

Howdy hoomans! We hope that you are enjoying your day as much as we are! Today marks the end of the week, which means the weekend is finally here! We are excited to spend some time cuddling with our fluffy little friend Loki after work. It's odd, but at that exact moment in time, we feel remarkably relaxed and like we've handled our hectic week successfully. 

Thus, in honor of our four-legged little fluffy friend, we have compiled a list of some of the cutest cat combos from the internet. We scoured Reddit day and night till we came across what we believed to be the most adorable kitties we had ever seen. Having said that, have a peek at the screenshots below if, like us, you are missing your little one and are longing for a dose of cuteness while trapped at work! And after you're done, don't forget to check out these adorable tuxedo cats here!

Nobody likes being late for work. First of all, because it is extremely stressful. The entire way to work is a race against time, you keep glancing at the clock like it might make time move slower, and once you get to work you need an extra 10 minutes to relax enough so you'll be able to properly work. Then you also have the impression you want to make on your boss, and being late is never a good look on you. 

Even so, it happens to everyone and a lot of the time it happens because of things you can't really control. For example, I was late today for work because the bus had a flat tire, and the driver had to stop and replace it. It had nothing to do with me or my time management, but still, it happened and I had to deal with it. Luckily my boss is super understanding and I didn't have to give a lot of explanations.

The person who wrote this Reddit story wasn't as lucky as me, as he had to deal with an unreasonable and strict HR manager on a daily basis. This manager came up with a rule that if an employee is even a minute late for 3 days in a month, they would be suspended. OP, who had the misfortune of being a minute late 3 times, decided he would not give up without a fight, and proved to the manager how bad it would be if she really did suspend him.

You roll the dice when moving in with new people, and I don't say that lightly. Even if you guys are besties from the second grade, nobody is safe from a good old roommate horror story. I had my fair share of entitled roommates, and I can honestly say that paying double for my own tiny studio apartment is worth it, because after everything I went through, I'm over it. Wait till you hear what happened in this story…

'I gave you a ride, a couple of times' was OP's roommate's excuse for demanding $500 from them for car maintenance. They argued a bit back and forth, and then OP shared the entire text exchange with the backstory to r/badroommates, because this roommate was the worst. This roommate, who we'll call Chad for the sake of clarity, had offered OP and his other roommate a ride a couple of times. OP had given Chad gas money, but now, Chad was demanding a whole lot more, as he had run into a bit of car trouble… Scroll down to read how the events unfolded.

Imagine you are at work. Yes, fine, I know… Sorry for dumping that unfortunate image on you just now, but just go with it for a second.

Imagine you are at work, and that coworker you despise is peeking over at you, 'making sure' you aren't doing anything your boss wouldn't appreciate. You chew a piece of gum loudly, trying to annoy them on purpose. It baffles you that they need your boss's approval so much. You couldn't care less. Karen (or Ken) slowly turn their nose around and back into their own business, and you continue doing your job, because in all honesty, you want to get paid.

It's unfortunate that you resent your workplace, but you imagine you wouldn't hate it so much if management cared one iota about you and your coworkers. So, in order to procrastinate a little, you scroll through some memes. Oops, you let out a laugh… Now Karen thinks you're making fun of her and is marching up to HR.

Good luck.

Working in customer service is, as we often say, both a blessing and a curse. However, I don't believe I've covered the subject of tourists mixed with the pleasure of providing top-notch customer service.

The story below is an account of a chef who worked at a popular seafood restaurant for tourists. By then, OP claimed, he had been employed in the food business for around eight years. As a result, he has grown accustomed to dealing with demanding clients. Therefore, when the ultimate Karen showed up at the restaurant with the intention of intimidating his servers, OP decided to take matters into his own hands. To put it gently, OP made sure to give a once-in-a-lifetime performance… There wasn't a single dry eye in the crowd. 

That being said, if you're interested in learning what happened between OP and Karen—or, as OP refers to her, vacationing mega Karen (VMK)—then read the story below! And once you're done, check out the story about the mother who steals $500 from her son here!

Sometimes you get back at someone in such a beautifully righteous way that you never forget it. Maybe you think of the perfect retort to someone's jab at you, and it gets a huge laugh. Or maybe, like these people, you come up with an utterly perfect solution to your problems. 

U/trexradar87 was curious what people's "best/funniest personal example of petty revenge" was, and the answers are inspiring. Several people had to deal with lunchtime bullies who ate their food or stole it, and had some genius methods to get back at them.

 There's a great story (see #5) about a dude who acted totally useless in the workplace, yet his coworker managed to get him back in the best possible way. It just goes to show that cheating your way to the top rarely works, even when you think you've gotten away with it. I bet the coworker also learned that people will always remember how you made them feel. The desire to get back at someone can last for years. None of that guy's coworkers will ever forget how he used their talents while doing almost none of his own work. 

After you've read those tales, check out what happened when a store greeter was caught on camera bossing his coworkers around. 

It's an exciting world when it is one filled with fluffy felines especially when they are spending a delightful Friday nestled in cozy boxes. It's like a purrfect dream come true! Cats seem to have this magical connection with boxes, turning them into their seating spots of joy. They're not just sitting, they're having a blast, content and carefree.

These awwdorable feline explorers show us how simplicity can bring boundless joy. Boxes become their own little worlds, offering comfort and warmth that's simply unmatched. It's like they've found the secret to happiness in the most unexpected places. The randomness of cats and boxes creates a day filled with laughter and awwdorable surprises. Every whisker twitch and tail wiggle brings a smile. With each cat finding its snug spot, it's a reminder that the simplest things in life can make us the happiest. So, here's to a day of Friday feline fun, where every moment with these cute and content cats in their boxes is a paw-some adventure.

Bad hair days come and go, but the experience of receiving a bad haircut lives forever. The shock of looking in the mirror and seeing something so far beyond what you asked for is seared in the memories of countless disgruntled customers. That being said, with this story, we're going to shift the focus from the customer to the barber. 

Everyone makes mistakes on the job, and sometimes, forgiveness is the best you can ask for after you mess up on the job. For these hairdressers, the experiences of giving bad haircuts were probably just as scarring as the experiences were for their customers. Cutting someone's hair is not like most reversible job mistakes. When hair is gone, it's gone, and the best you can do is even it out.

As such, we created today's listicle of furry funny feline memes to get you in the mood for the weekend ahead.

When this newlywed told the internet they "could use some judgment" about their wedding, the internet did not hold back. They told the OP exactly what they thought about some pretty strange wedding plans. 

It's no secret that weddings are expensive. It's basically the first thing you learn when you start researching: the prices are outrageous for everything from the venue to the food to the DJ. Unless you're planning to throw on a tee shirt and elope from the local courthouse, you're probably going to have to figure out how to plan within your budget. You can still have a beautiful and memorable ceremony even on a tight budget. So long as you, your friends and family have a great time, that's all that matters in the end. 

They say that guests remember if your wedding was fun, and if it had good food. Many people choose to have their weddings catered, so while they're planning the reception, they have to consider how many people will be dining with them. If it costs $75 per plate, maybe you'll invite no more than 50 people. It's a good idea to plan your wedding by starting with the basics, and adding fancy extras later on. Everyone has to eat, right?

This newly married person had an absolutely unbelievable wedding tale to share. There was a lot of discussion in the comments, as well as two comments from the OP u/Logical_Cake_2549 that added some more information. After that, check out what happened when this boss told his employees that snow removal wasn't a priority. 

Furr goodness sake, it is Friday hooman. And you need to be letting go of your focus on work as soon as you possibly can and start to shift your attention towards the festive feline that lies within you, such that you will be sufficiently prepared for all the crazy Caturday celebrations that are coming tomorrow. Which is why we made today's listicle of kooky cat memes to help you get weird this feline Friday. Which, as any cat will tell you, is the most effective way to shake off the work week woes and shed your inhibitions.

From not so innocent cats crumpling their pawrents' important mail, to a thorough explanation of how to handle people who say that they do not like cats, to the kittens proudly showing off their bed life, to the creation of an angy cat squad, to pawdorable kittens warming themselves on laptop chargers, to the clawminal cats who were put in handcuffs for their transgressions, to the pawfect excuse to reject plans, a cat party. This diverse and off-beat collection of cat memes is a wonderful way to get your mind ready for the weekend ahead.

It's remarkable what some bosses think they can get away with in this day and age. There are numerous ways in which employers have tried to cover their real reasons for firing someone. They might say it's budget cuts or some sort of company restructuring. Sometimes, that may actually be the case. However, there are times when someone higher up simply does not enjoy working with you or having to deal with you in some capacity. These coworkers, bosses, HR representatives, etc. will grasp at straws until they can find a so-called legitimate reason to get rid of you. Those are the relatively smart evil bosses. The other kind of evil boss fully breaks ethical and potentially legal standards and doesn't seem to care at all.

That's what unfortunately happened to this Redditor, who was going through treatment and needed to schedule a last-minute emergency visit to their oncologist because they had a rough night. Their employer showed no signs of sympathy or compassion. In fact, they simply accused OP of a trend of shirking their work responsibilities. Keep scrolling below for the full story. When you're done, check out this post about a teenager who sabotaged his boss's business on a particularly important day.

Oh, cats. It's always an adventure to live with them because you never know what sort of silly shenanigans they're going to get into next. One day they're hanging upside down from the ceiling (we've given up trying to ask how) and the next day their heads are stuck in a hole in the wall (we knew we should have covered up that hole). Cats always keep us on our toes, and that's a little stressful, but we also can't imagine our lives without it. 

They certainly get up to some absurd antics when we're not looking, probably because they are naturally nature's glitchiest creation. How else could they manage to complete so many shenanigans on the daily? If you're a cat owner, these relatable cat pictures of whisker wackiness will purrfectly resonate with you, and if you're considering adopting a cat, this is what you have to look forward to. They may drive us crazy sometimes, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

Isn't it just a kick in the teeth when you really go out of your way to help someone and they aren't even grateful? Or worse, they totally take advantage of your kindness? That knife in your back feels even worse when it's from your own family. But, family drama is no mystery to the world and happens often. 

Take this woman, for example, who recently cut her own sister out of her life. Her sister was a struggling mother of three, so she went out of her way to help her as best as she could. She drove her anywhere she needed to go, gave her money when she needed it, and took care of their kids. She even welcomed them into her own family. However, her sister never seemed to be grateful. And the final straw that broke the camel's back was when her sister quit the job she got her after only working there for two days… TWO DAYS. That not only was a blow to her sister's generosity but also made her look bad as an employee. What's a sister to do after that? Is there any coming back from it? OP thinks not. What do you think? 

Here's another story of a woman who was pushed to her limit and had enough. 

You know that feeling of coming back home after a long workday and just plopping down on the couch? It feels good, right? Well, it turns out our cats enjoy that feeling as well because this silly series involves cats sitting like they just finished a 12-hour shift at the biscuit-making factory, and they're purrfectly pooped! These fatigues felines are letting their biscuit-makers rest and sitting like hoomans. We want to say it's cute, and it is, but it's also strangely hissterical!

Cats are known for their flexible feline bodies and noodle bones, but this is just too silly! Especially because, honestly, what do they have to be tired about? They spent all day sleeping in silly pawsitions and eating - we would like to see them try to work a solid 8+ hours like we do every day. Must be rough being a spoiled house cat!
