Update: 'By the end of the day, they will not have an IT company': Nightmare client orders IT company to deliver 'any email addressed to me'

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 12:00

Be careful what you wish for… I'm sure this IT company's client was really regretful about the can of worms he opened. 

It helps to have a good sense of humor in the workplace, and it's especially useful while dealing with clients. Clients can be unpredictable. Some want to be completely hands-off, and let the firm they hired handle everything. They'll just be yes-men about any project as long as things are going well. Others want to be more involved and will ask for frequent updates. Then there are people who are just impossible to work with, like the dude in this poor IT workers' story. 

The client called up and he was upset that he wasn't getting his emails. That happens to us all from time to time, and it is a frustrating experience. When you're waiting on a time-sensitive email, and you've checked for it in every folder, you start to get impatient. In a world where lots of digital actions happen immediately, like sending a text, some emails still take a minute to travel to the other side of the interwebs.

As such, we have put together a collection of funny memes of cats getting rowdy during their end of work week celebrations.

From the cats who scaled Christmas trees to get their pawrties started, to the cats who get rowdy with a clamwinal game of hide and seek, to the cats who get so into the party spirit they end up inadvertently starting cults, to the cats who know that when it is party time there is nothing that a hooman can do to stop the pawrty.

'Your store had to refund [me] $10,000': Customer gets back at power-tripping manager's nonsense policy

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 11:00

Stores with ridiculous policies are practically begging for drama. The only thing worse in a retail conflict than an entitled customer is a manager on a power trip. Most of the time when you find yourself in a situation like this, you roll your eyes and accept the bogus policy, but every once in a while, you just cannot bring yourself to go along with such nonsense. That's when these managers need to be careful because this is perhaps the only time when irate customers are justified in trying to make things difficult to prove their point. Now, nine times out of ten, we at FAIL Blog support the retail workers in these customer service horror stories, but here's one case when the customer actually was right.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Ia_ja, who walked into a wine store at the same time as a total stranger. This led the manager to believe that they were a party, so when OP went to check out long after the stranger left the store, the manager insisted that OP bring the stranger back inside so their ID could be checked. Even after OP tried to clear up the misunderstanding, the manager was insistent. So OP couldn't make the purchase and went home to devise a plan for some well-deserved petty revenge. 

Keep scrolling below to find out how the manager ended up having to refund OP $10,000 for a new order. When you're done, check out this post about some more bogus HOA fines.

'My friend here took half [of your money]': Realtor snubs interested buyer, loses 50% of her commission

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 10:00

Have you ever seen the classic Julia Roberts film Pretty Woman? Remember the scene where she walks into a fancy retail shop and the women refuse to serve her because they thought she looked too poor, but then got hooked up by Richard Gere's character? Then she went back to that store and told them they made a big "HUGE" mistake. Well, that is what happened here but in real life and with an entitled realtor instead of retail workers.

'I wouldn't budge': Tenant finds a clever way to get even with landlord after finding landlord's family members in their swimming pool, reciting terms of lease right back to him

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 09:00

Renting a house from a third party has benefits and drawbacks. Of course, maintenance is one of the apparent benefits, but no matter how lovely or cozy the apartment is, the drawbacks, depending on how severe they are, can make or break a transaction.

In the story below, OP  is working at the job of his dreams. His employer has ensured that he would be as comfortable as possible in his new role by arranging for the necessary accommodations beforehand. Theoretically, everything could not have gone more smoothly; in reality, though, the lovely house that OP has rented out is owned by an arrogant landlord who feels he still has the right to use the property whenever he pleases, because, contract or no contract, it is his property and he can use its utilities whenever he pleases.

The swimming pool is officially on the property that OP is now occupying, but the landlord has allowed his family members to use it. According to the landlord, there is no mention of a pool in the contract, so legally speaking, he has no control over it. OP attempted but was unable, to win over the landlord with reason. Therefore, he devised the most brilliant revenge scheme. Check out the story below to see how OP handled the situation! And when you're finished, don't forget to read another story about a woman who demands a stranger share her ginger 'candy' with her kid!

'I started using the timer for everything': Micromanaging boss accuses employee of "cheating the company"

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 08:00

As if this person didn't have enough to do already, their boss started requiring some detailed daily logs from his employee. 

Micromanager bosses are difficult to work for. Instead of just doing the job you were hired to do, you also have to manage your boss's emotions. Some days your boss will assume you're not doing any work, and will flip out over nothing. Other days, they'll praise you for working so hard. And lots of bosses demand you write out intricate logs of your day. Will they ever read these logs? Of course not. It's just a way to waste the employee's time while making them feel like they're under a microscope.

27 Retail Employees Compete for the 'Most Audacious Customer' Award

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 07:00

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.

"He fell for it so easily': Entitled man steals over $7,000 from friends, revenge strikes when they make him fly cross-country and stand him up with $400 bill

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 06:00

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...

'I'm going to have to reject your application': New hire goes in to sign contract only for the offer to get rescinded

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 05:00

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.

Customer sets manager straight for being impolite to his staff: 'I hope he was momentarily embarrassed'

Fail Blog - Fri, 01/12/2024 - 04:00

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.
