Getting unjustly fired has never felt so good. Here, we have a fast food employee who saw a half-finished soda can and asked everyone working, including his manager, if it belonged to anyone before he tossed it in the trash before the end of his shift. Apparently, his direct manager was not paying attention because he was too busy talking on the phone with his girlfriend while on the clock. So, when he was done with his personal call, he went looking for his soda only to learn that it had been thrown away.

Instead of letting it go like a normal person, this manager decided to throw a temper tantrum directed at the employee, accusing him of insubordination. He ended up giving the employee an ultimatum: go get the manager a new soda or go home entirely and never return. Well, it turns out that this dude was not in a position to fire anyone; that would be the job of the general manager, his supervisor. When he found out what went wrong here, he immediately reinstated the employee. One can imagine what a glorious moment that was for the employee to return to work and inform his manager that he couldn't be dismissed like that.

What do you think would happen to your workplace if your manager was fired out of the blue? Are there people in your office that you know would be ready to take over, or do you think your company would dissolve into chaos?

For most companies, there must be a few people who can take over a manager's daily tasks in case they unexpectedly leave. But the real challenging duty that must be taken over is usually the actual management job, and managing other people within the company. With the lack of a clear manager, things can very well derail, so it is crucial that someone will be ready to guide the rest of the team back on track.

In this Reddit story, OP (original poster) was ready to take over her manager's job after they were fired, but they were not ready to start managing their coworkers. Specifically, one new coworker who still hadn't really settled into the job. That caused a lot of stress for OP, who didn't know how to handle all the attention this coworker was demanding.

Exhausted from work and hunting for the perfect meal to satisfy your munchies, you might not bother looking over the bill to ensure you were not billed more than is needed. However, there are times when you do notice, and what do you do then? Do you give up and brush it off as simply another example of something that 'is not worth your aggravation' or do you fight for a refund?

The story below is an account of a clever consumer. The original poster (OP) relates how he managed to outwit the nearby fast-food restaurant. OP made the decision to treat himself to a fun and filling fast-food restaurant after a long workday. He pulled his car up outside the building and waited for assistance. When that time came, he was excited to place his order. However, as the cashier yelled out a higher bill than expected, things quickly shifted from wholesome to petty.

The cashier overcharged OP and refused to refund the difference, stating that the company was unable to process reimbursements. Because of this, OP decided to take the initiative and resolve the matter with the entitled cashier. As a result, OP devised a scheme that would take everyone by surprise. If you want to know the specifics of what took place, be sure to read the story below! After you're done, don't forget to read the story about the employer who refuses to pay back a worker's business travel expenses, citing excessive spending, which leads to the worker's resignation and $1000 in retribution!

When people get tattoos, they often consider what they love and cherish, and avoid thinking about the opinions of others. That's all well and good; if an art piece is forever inked onto your body, you should love it with all your heart. But there's an asterisk here: you should love it, because people are going to ask about it constantly. If you have a name, people will ask who that is. If you have a symbol or a little animal, people will ask what that means. It's the kind of experience you won't understand until you actually get tattoos, and have to look at them every day, and deal with the constant questions. 

The more public of an area you choose for your tattoo, the higher the chances are you'll be explaining it. Like there's one person who tattooed "Jason" on his own face. He's Jason. He probably gets asked constantly if Jason is his husband or son! Then, the follow up question: why would one tattoo one's own name on their face? Why choose the face instead of an arm or leg? There are many follow-up questions that Jason is going to spend hours of his one short life explaining to random people who have a burning desire to find out. 

Other people made the mistake of getting a tattoo in another language without double-checking the spelling first…yikes! You can check out a bunch of different ways not to get tattooed down below.

Hey, cat pawrents and feline enthusiasts. We have a strange story to tell you: we woke up this morning to some meowing, but both of our cats were snuggled up next to us, purrfectly asleep. And yet, the meowing purrsisted. We got up, searched, and found a "not my cat" in our bathtub! We're not the only ones who have experienced this hissterical phenomenon of having an unexpected feline visitor, apparently it's actually quite common.

We keep telling ourselves that if no one comes to claim this "not my cat" that we're going to foster them until we can find them a furrever home, but we can tell you that even after just one day, we think this purrfectly adorable feline is going to become "our cat" sooner rather than later. Scroll down to see a whole adorable array of other hoomans who found a cat in their belonging when they least expected it - the absurdity of cats never fails to entertain!

When you owe someone money, nothing is going to go over like a lead balloon, quite like showing up with something new and shiny to show off. You probably even did it at least once to your parents as a kid when they gave you money for lunch, and you went out and bought Pokemon cards instead.

You know the type, that friend who you loaned 100 dollars to for rent, yet they still somehow have new clothes every time you see them. Your roommate who borrowed money for groceries but always seems to have money to buy a game on Steam. Your little sister who needed $40 for gas but came back with a suspicious purchase from Sephora shortly thereafter. 

Perhaps worse than all of these is your boss showing up in their shiny new vanity vehicle to show off to all their employees, demanding that everyone come out to the parking lot and view it before dismissively announcing off-hand that they wouldn't be able to pay wages this week due circumstances that were supposedly out of their control.

That's what this boss did. A member of their team took to this popular online community to share their story, sparking responses from readers.

The purrfect thing about cats - well, one of them - is that each and every cat is awwdorably unique. Even if it doesn't seem like it, you just have to wait long enough, and your cat will show you what it is about them that makes them special. Just wait, and suddenly, you will find out that your cat is obsessed with cucumbers. Or that your cat loves playing with almonds until they are obliterated. Or that your cat is a criminal. A literal cat burglar who steals sausages from unsuspecting supermarkets and gets away with it. 

Or, you will find out that your cat can talk. Like the person in this video did. And fine, technically, we can't understand what the cat is saying… but we feel like we can. This can is so responsive and so expressive that, we swear, we can tell exactly what she's trying to say literally all the time.

The best part about being a renter is that you're not liable for explosive home malfunctions. If the roof caves in, kitchen tiles start to split, or the oven stops working, renters have the luxury of opting out of the responsibility of taking care of repairs. Landlords are the ones who are supposed to be responsible for any expenses associated with their property. However, for the renter in our next story, their lazy landlord was willing to put everything on the line to save a few bucks on a repair that could cost his renter their health. 

After a recurring plumbing issue caused the kitchen sink to back up, this Redditor nearly fainted from the foul smell of their rented apartment. Flooded with black water and soaked in filth, the renter reached out to their landlord in haste, summoning them to fulfill their duty as a homeowner to take care of the repair and the overflowing sink. However, after multiple brushed-off messages and nerve-racking moments waiting around in their biohazard of a house, the landlord only offered to reimburse the renter for a $150 cleaning lady. 

Sorry buddy, but a deep clean isn't going to cut it this time. 

Consulting Reddit turned out to be the best thing this renter could have done, because after sharing their story online, they realized they could not only be breathing in dangerous bacteria and seeping their kitchen in filth, but they could actually be looking at a long-term legal battle with a landlord too lazy to prioritize their health and safety. 

After this, here's another story of an audacious living situation. 

At some point in every cat owner's life, we come to admit to ourselves… that our cats understand far more than we thought they did. They do, and it's our fault. We talk to our cats all the time. We tell them about our days and vent about our troubles, and it seems that, over time, they start to understand. Whether they catch certain words or simply understand our tone doesn't matter. We talk to our felines, and our felines talk back. And if we listen carefully enough and for long enough, we will start to catch certain 'words' that they use too. 

Truly, our cats have different meows for different things. When they want food, one meow. When someone is close to the front door, another meow. When a bird flies by, insane chirping ensues. They understand a lot. So really, one day, when they finally take over the world, we cannot say that we did not see the signs along the way.

Why do some bosses think that wearing a suit in exceptionally hot weather is a sign of professionalism? The reality is it is nothing more than a silly rule that makes employees look and feel miserable. What about employees who have to walk to work or who come into an environment with poor air conditioning? They are going to sweat like crazy and ultimately will come across as anything but put-together and professional. 

Let this story serve as yet another argument for employers to focus less on how employees appear and more on their ability to get their work done. If everything is getting done well, why can't employees wear comfortable clothing while doing it, especially when it's more appropriate for the weather? Professionalism should never be just about image. That mentality is only constructed to make some folks seem more suitable for certain industries than others. This dude found a clever loophole in his company's "no shorts" policy upon realizing that nobody said anything about skirts.
