Being an overachiever at work can mean a lot of things. For most desk jockeys and people who sit behind a computer all day, their goals can be a little more ambiguous than your average handyman. For office folks, we can't just say, "I want to complete remodeling this bathroom by this date"–we have to have more vague goals surrounding weird things like Excel speed, managerial standards, and that weird notion of 'shareholder value'. 

The guy in this next video decided to create a newer and stranger goal for himself in the workplace: Defeat the Excel obstacle course in record time. 

You might be wondering what in blazes an Excel obstacle course is and, believe it or not, it's far simpler than it sounds. Some bored desk worker somewhere created a template of solvable problems on Excel that can all be filled in or finished by shortcuts through the program and that 'obstacle course' has circulated through cubicles all over the world with folks who think they can stand up to the speed record. Well, one man was able to annihilate the standing record and recorded himself achieving his goal, but hilariously he has a mixed bag of a reaction that sends folks into a tizzy in the comment section. 

Scroll for the video proving that office goals offer a brief serotonin boost before reminding us of the banality of the universe–and the comedic genius that ensues afterward. 

These siblings were trying not to argue in front of the kids, but they just can't agree on who needs to repay who. 

Children will get into everything that they can. They don't always understand the concept of valuable items. They have no problem throwing food on the floor, breaking plates or vases, or keying your car, just to name a few examples. Their brains simply aren't developed enough to know why some things are more important to grown-ups than others. That's why it's usually the responsibility of the adult who's keeping an eye on them to ensure they don't run wild. 

These two siblings just can't seem to work out an agreement about how to pay each other back. It's partially because u/CSmith100000 owes their brother about $300… but the brother's kids decided to "play" with the original poster's art supplies. To the untrained eye, a brush is a brush and paints are paints. But the kiddos ruined some really pricey art supplies: replacing them with dollar store watercolors or Amazon brushes just isn't going to cut it. 

After you decide who's wrong in this scenario, check out a bunch of major fingernail painting fails that were totally not worth the money. 

There are certain people you do not want to frustrate in a restaurant, one of whom is most certainly the lead cook. 

However, as in any fast-paced work environment, people can get hot-headed and conflicts can arise between folks who feel like they are stepping on one another's toes. This lead cook was often stationed in an accessible place in the kitchen so that everyone could easily access him and vice versa. However, on one busy night, the lead cook briefly left his station in the hands of a new trainee, who had been doing a good job, so that the line cook could help with another station that was lagging behind. Of course, during this temporary moment, the cook's boss stopped by and saw that he had changed stations. The cook was given a "stern talking to" and was blamed for the slow productivity that night.

Well, the next time this situation arose, the cook made sure that he (and everyone else) remained in their stations just to show his boss how unproductive his instructions actually were. Keep scrolling below for the full tense exchange between the two. For more stories like this, take a look at this post about a line-cutting male Karen who got his comeuppance.

Cats, and especially black cats, have the worst luck at shelters. In a certain sense, animal shelters are one of the worst places that a cat can end up in. This is because, many hoomans do not quite know what it means to have a cat and what kind of unique challenges they pose as opposed to dogs and other more tame pets. Resulting in hoomans coming in, seeing a cute cat who really wants to leave the shelter being affectionate towards them, adopting said cat only to bring it home and discover that things will not always be so sweet.

And thus the cycle repeats itself as cats, much like the one in today's video, find themselves returned to the shelter for the most unacceptable of reasons, only to lose hope once more that they will find their forever family and home. So we hope you enjoy the wholesome story of this sweet feline who has hopefully been adopted for the last time.

Imagine paying for these nail polish nightmares… Well, a lot of people did just that, as they shared with photos that tell the whole story. 

Getting your nails done is a lovely treat, but it doesn't come cheap. When you go to the salon, you show the nail artist your dream nails, and you just hope they have the skills to do so. Not every manicurist can do it, and it seems like a lot of them need more practice. That won't stop some nail artists from charging high prices, as a few of the people with botched nails revealed. 

Some of the people below ended up paying for nails that were totally crooked. Other people's nails look like a toddler got a hold of a bottle of nail polish. It's all about precision with nail painting, and even a few centimeters of wobbly linework can ruin the whole set. 

Check out this collection of nail fails down below. Then, read about the project manager who admitted it was "very petty of me" as they sent out a 600+ page PDF via email.

Most folks have had the unfortunate experience of waiting in line behind a Karen customer, but believe it or not, it could be worse. Just ask this dude, who ended up waiting in line behind three Karens. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/jarjarmullet, who silently watched as this trio of entitled older ladies kept giving modification upon modification to their order. This, of course, frustrated the sole employee making sandwiches as well as the long line of customers behind the ladies, but they did not seem to care. In fact, by the time they were finally paying for their lunch, they tried to get their food for free because of the long wait, as if they were not largely responsible for how long it took.

That's when the original poster (OP) stepped in and decided to do everyone a favor and pay for the sandwiches himself. However, he wasn't exactly as generous as the Karens thought. After paying, he took the food he rightfully purchased and left, which left the Karens scrambling. Keep scrolling below to see what happened when they got the police involved. For more stories like this, take a look at this post about a job applicant who was asked to donate to the company that just rejected her. The audacity of some peopl!

Well, the working week is almost over, and while you have made it through successfully once more, there is a good chance that you are still looking for something to help you cope with the monotony of the day-to-day, as more than likely it will start all over again in a couple of days. Which is why we brought you this hilarious orange cat video to give you some fresh ideas of what to do to pass the hours of the working days.

As the title suggests, this single brain celled orange cat has taken to sleeping as a way of putting up with the less desirable moments of the days. And while it is completely avoidant and does not deal with the problem in any sort of legitimate way, it does highlight the fact that it can be done if you so please to do so. So sit back, relax and try not to join this cute catto in his serene sleep if you can, there is still work to be done today.

Staying up to date with technology has become an essential part of working-class life. It can be exhausting, especially with how quickly technology is advancing today. Think about it: not long ago, the internet didn't even exist. Now, we have a whole generation of employees working remotely or in a hybrid capacity. Who would've thought? But no matter your job, whether you work in a corporate office, factory, or restaurant, technology is constantly changing. New software to improve work processes, new robots to move the lines along quicker, or those dang QR codes to see a menu, we are all constantly evolving. Mentally, we can't keep up. Tech support at any company has their hands full as we struggle to keep up with the new trends. We're still out here restarting our computers when we encounter any minor convenience, yet the workforce is trying to throw new tech at us. So, shoutout to all of the IT and tech support employees out there; work would be chaos without you. 

Sometimes, animals in need are able to find the pawfect help. It does not happen often, but when it does, it is truly the most heartwarming affair. And this special feline is most certainly an example of that. Being a long haired cat on the streets is not a common occurrence, and is a reality that is tougher than most feline realities. You have this big ball of fluff attached to you at all times, that in the best case would keep you warm from freezing temperatures and snowy conditions, but in the worst case gets you stuck on fences, full of fleas and in as in this case, with some of the most matter fur that hoomans have ever laid eyes on.

This poor cute catto came into the shelter looking disheveled and in a lot of pain, but she understood that the hoomans there were trying to help her. And with that in mind, she cooperated without hesitation, even going as far as to show the hoomans where she needed help the most on her body. This wholesome cat video is a pawfect representation of what can be achieved when everyone, no matter how different, cooperate and work together. Now go find someone to work alongside and create some good in this world.

There are tons of marketing ploys out there nowadays by big corporations trying to make more money. They may not make sense to us, the consumers, or even the employees, but they are policies set in stone that only upper management can dictate.

I get groceries from a small, local grocery store where I live. Say I'm buying vegetables, and there might be a sign that says, "2 for $5!" I think to myself, "Might as well get two if they are on sale since I'm getting a deal." But then I notice in very tiny fine print it says, "Originally $2.50." That's not a deal! It's just a marketing ploy to get customers to buy more of their product. And sadly, I've probably fallen for it numerous times out of sheer laziness. This phenomenon was confirmed by a former retail worker who shared, "Black Friday sales are not really sales," essentially confirming the same tactics that I see from my local grocer. But what about other industries? What are they not telling their customers? Keep scrolling to hear from 25+ employees about what their jobs won't let them tell you. 

Good morrow dear feline fanatics, it is Friday, or as it is better known Friyay, and that means that the weekend is mere hours away. That is right, hours away. And while there is still work to be done, you can still approach it with a lighter heart than usual considering its fleeting nature at this point. And to help today's work load feel even lighter than usual we have this wholesome and heartwarming cat video.

It is not often that animals will be in such dire straits that they turn to hoomans for help, and even less so common when it involves the baby of an animal. But in this case we get to enjoy one of the rarest of occurrences, when a feline mother brought her critically endangered kitten to a hooman's door step in need of help. The poor kitten had gotten wrapped up in a glue trap and its outlook on the streets looked less than hopeful. Thankfully the hoomans understood what was asked of them and quickly got to work rescuing the kitten from its sticky situation as the mother looked on from a distance. Once freed, the mother and kitten were reunited and went off on their way. It just goes to show that we all need a little help from time to time, and it is more than ok to ask for it, whether you are an animal in need, or simply a hooman who has trouble asking for help.

You don't need to go to college to be a genius. You don't even have to finish high school! Some people are born with brains that think outside the box in ways that can't be taught. These people can do incredible things, as you'll see in this collection of photos below. 

When it comes to creating new inventions, you don't need anything fancy. Check out that truck driver whose arm was hurting from resting it on the open window. Instead of letting their arm ache all day, the driver just cut up a pool noodle and put it on the window. That's a brilliant solution that probably costs under a dollar and can be removed at any time. 

Along with innovative inventors, we also have included some crafty signwriters who thought of new ways to sell popular products. I'm thinking about the sign for eggs that's labeled "boneless chicken 35¢". It probably made a bunch of shoppers stop and laugh or take a photo, which is great for business. And of course, they probably bought a few "boneless chickens" too. 

Check out these unsung heroes who were really thinking outside the box. Then, read about the travelers who ruined a bunch of expensive hiking clothes in the wash due to a bizarre miscommunication. 

Good meowrning, cat lovers of the internet. Is there anything more innocent than a kitten fresh out of the kitty oven? When they come home with you on that first day? The answer is no. They are taking their first look at the world and going to their furrever home for the first time! We wish our cats could stay as cute kittens for their whole lives, but since they can't, we will have to live vicariously through the kitten pics of others. So, to give yourself a boost of pawsitivity today, here are some feline firsts and purrfect pictures of precious kitties right after getting home.

We remember when we took our kitten (now a big chonker) home, those first couple of weeks were some of the cutest of our entire lives! He certainly warmed up to his home quickly and started to get himself involved in some silly shenanigans sooner than we expected. Scroll down to warm your heart with all of these cutie-pies below, you won't regret it!

There's something to be learned here about not taking things at face value and using a little common sense to draw a more logical conclusion. Often in life, things are simplified for us in order to cater to the lowest common denominator and, in the process, obfuscate the actual point of the information that was supposed to be communicated in the first place.

An extreme example of this is our entire understanding of chemistry; we're taught from our days in middle school chem class—clear through an undergraduate bachelor's in chemistry—that reactions and the quanta of energy exchange happen in a definable "Lego building brick" sort of way, only for the curtain to be pulled back at the last possible moment when your lecturer tells you in the final course of the degree that everything you've learned is actually an oversimplification and not really how things work at all… Cue existential crisis.

Hey, friends and cat lovers! We are coming back to you live from the ICanHasCheezburger editorial headquarters. Ever wonder what goes on in your cat's head? One minute they're stalking a feathery toy, the next they're laser-focused on a delivery truck from the window. These goofy goofballs are more than just adorable companions – they're undercover agents, biding their time until the kitten uprising begins! (Just kidding... mostly.) 

We keep saying how honestly, our cats could do a much better job running things than our current elected officials, but for whatever reason the world isn't ready to vote for feline politicians. I know, bizarre. Cats are goofballs. They know when to be playful and when to be serious. They just choose to ignore this knowledge and do whatever the heck they want, and we appreciate that. In the meantime, enjoy their hilarious antics and those adorable belly flops. Just watch out for those playful ankle attacks!

No one wants to be micromanaged. Whether by a boss, a coworker, a partner, or even a family member, as an adult, we can handle things on our own. There is nothing more insulting than having someone constantly checking in on you to make sure you are getting things done. Well, that's just what happened to this truck driver when he was making a delivery to a client. He had to drive only a few hours and was running way ahead of schedule. As a trucker, sometimes the client has you install a tracking app so they can keep track of where their delivery is. But this entitled client took it even further. They wanted constant updates and photos of where their delivery was. The delivery in question? Six pallets of onions. That's it. But that didn't stop them from harassing their driver to make sure he was en route. So, the trucker decided to maliciously compile with their request for constant updates. After dealing with him, I bet they wished they never bothered in the first place.
