'As it got harder, I started to mess up': Job applicant sparks debate after sharing his experience being interviewed by AI

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 15:00

Job interviews are never easy. It can be exciting after searching countless job listings for one you like, submitting all your application materials, and finally hearing back that you got an interview. But how do you prepare? You don't want to overprepare because, at the time of the interview, your nerves are high, and it can be hard to remember every detail you want to say precisely. But you also definitely don't want to be underprepared and get stuck with questions about the company's values or something of the sort. So you find that sweet spot in your interview prep, you're ready to go, but then you find out: you're interviewing with AI. How would you react?  Do you think it would be easier because there's a chance for fewer biases than interviewing with a human, or do you find it harder to speak to a blank screen, finding the experience to be highly impersonal? Well, the job applicant in this story shares exactly what it was like to interview with AI. Including all of the small details he had to follow, like the outfit he wore, the types of questions he was asked, and the strategy games he had to play. Read all of this and more below.

'You're prioritizing a dog?': Entitled airplane Karen gets shut down after trying to steal a service dog's designated seat

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 14:00

We love our dogs. For some people, their dog is more important than any friendship and the dog's position in the household has been firmly secured as a bone-a-fide family member. Contrarily, the Karen in our next story never imagined that a dog would ever surpass her own self-imposed importance and she had the audacity to challenge a woman's claim to the plane seat she paid for for her service dog. 

Selfishly, the Karen approached the dog owner from the plane's aisle during boarding. Noticing that there wasn't a human companion in the seat beside her, she rudely demanded that her son be allowed to sit there. When the dog owner declined, the Karen went on a humiliating tirade attempting to slander the dog owner with comments like 'you're going to prioritize a dog?!'–to which the answer was a resounding yes. 

Scroll for the entire story of a Karen who had a bone to pick with a traveling service dog and how she got put in her place (the back of the plane) as a result of her tantrum.

Boarding school enforces 33% increased price structure, students rebel via malicious compliance: 'There was an uproar'

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 13:00

What was this school's administration thinking? Not only did they decide to suddenly and without warning increase the weekly rates for its boarding students, but when they finally informed the student population, they fully lied about how big the increase actually was.

Clearly, these board members could not do math on their own or they wildly underestimated the strengths of their largely STEM-oriented students. These folks were quick to calculate that the weekly price increase was not 2% as the board had stated. Instead, the prices had increased a full 33%. Talk about a manipulative and wildly unethical way of justifying the policy changes.

Thankfully, the school was located downtown among various restaurants where students could go get their own meals for a much cheaper price. So, the students began opting out of meal plans in droves, draining the school's resources in the process and forcing them to go back to the old price structure within a few weeks. That's called collective action, folks! For more stories like this, check out this one about another penny-pinching school administration.

Check Out This Chonky Cat’s Purrfect Chill Caturday Routine If Your Feline Fur Baby Is Driving You Crazy (Video)

LOL Cats - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 13:00

Every fluffy feline has its particular quirks and clawminal behavior. It can vary wildly from catto to catto, ranging from being a zoomie-filled nuisance, to engaging in clawminal acts in the middle of the night by way of demanding food, to just becoming the entire problem (just so that there is no mistaking their villainous intent). However, the chonky cat featured in this list sits much lower on the naughty cat scale, limiting itself to some relatively gentle annoyance in the pursuit of more food.

But clawminal tendencies aside, this chonker has its caturday routine down to a T, and is well worth taking note off, especially if your own feline fur baby is packing much more facetious energy than you can handle at this moment in time. So if you want to get lost in the heady haze of napping, playing, and somewhat patiently waiting for the food bowl to open then you have landed in just the right spot. So sit back, relax and get ready to enjoy a quick break from the chaos of your own cat.

'My landlord installed cameras because she took him to court so often': 20+ Extra petty neighbors

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 12:00

If you have good neighbors, count your blessings. As the people in this thread below can tell you, having bad neighbors can interfere with your life in endless ways. 

U/Collins71514 was curious to know people's stories of the pettiest things their neighbors ever did. There were a surprising amount of stories with a common theme: neighbors who were determined to move their property line. It doesn't matter if it's just a couple of inches or a few feet. These people were utterly determined to get back the property they were so sure was theirs. Odd! 

Others volunteered their neighbor stories that involved loud noises. One person had a super loud neighbor, and they eventually got some incredible revenge by playing the same song on repeat. How long on repeat, you ask? Four days. Four whole days of the same song! That's enough to break anyone's sanity, and sure enough, the constant loud noise from that dude stopped immediately after. Everyone has a breaking point, but luckily for most other people who shared tales, they didn't have to keep the music going for quite that long. 

Check out these great neighbor drama anecdotes below. Then, read about these homeowners who kept having to deal with their annoying HOA manager

Employee receives gossipy message about her from coworker by accident: 'She really grinds my gears'

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 11:00

Everyone has had that moment of panic when you send a gossipy text about someone and worry that you accidentally sent it to that person. Nine times out of ten, you're just being paranoid, but every so often, you find yourself with a ton of explaining to do.

Now, what would you do if this situation occurred but it wasn't about a family or friend and instead this was about a coworker? What you do if the roles were reversed and you didn't send the unkind message, but this time, you received it? Would you confront the coworker? Would you wait until they made the discovery on their own? 

This employee got a teams message saying, "she really grinds my gears." Based on the meeting that just wrapped up and the coworker who sent the message, the Redditor immediately knew that she was the "she" in the message. While the coworker was apologetic, the Redditor did not stop herself from telling her how much the message hurt. She also stopped listening to the apologies and the lame attempts on her coworker's part to justify her actions. What was said could not be unsaid, and the coworker knew she just made the dynamic tense and awkward for the foreseeable future. Good luck to her the next time they bump into each other in the elevator again!

Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section. When you're done, check out this story about a long-time employee who was denied a bonus package.

LOL Cats - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 11:00

Caturday and if you are reading this then you most certainly need to take your fluffy bottom back to bed, because it is far too early to be awake on the hallowed day of cats. In fact, that is precisely the reason that we made today's list, in the hopes to inspire you to experiment with some feline-styled sleeping. As you will see in this hilarious cat video, these cats have developed some of the most unique sleeping practices, which can only be born of some of the deepest and most complete sleep cycles on the planet.

And while many of us would wake up with a damaged spine after trying to emulate the positions that these flexible felines managed to get themselves into. It is more than worth trying to gain some inspiration for your own cat nap, which you are required to engage in today. So lie back and get ready to go back to sleep.

‘It’s time you pay': University employee gets fed up with dean's refusal to accommodate students' needs, prints out free textbooks for students that cost thousands

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 10:00

If you ever find yourself talking to someone who is not from the US about college, they are always shocked by how much college students have to pay for tuition. Some countries in Europe have actual free universities, and here in good ol' America, people carry their student loans for literal decades. 

That is why when we hear of stories in which colleges and universities take even more money from their students, without an actual valid reason, it simply makes us see red. For example, can someone explain to us why, for the love of god, students still need to buy textbooks? Have professors not heard of PDFs? Why is that still something that literal teenagers have to spend thousands of dollars on every single year?

The IT employee at a university in California was asking the same type of questions. Only they were even more annoyed at the situation because they had a view from the inside on how much colleges take from students, without ever giving back. Not wanting to stay silent throughout the injustice that was happening, the IT employee found a small but significant way to pay students back some of their money.

Happy Caturday, feline enthusiasts! Caturday is undoubtedly the best day of the week and we're going to use it to purractice giving some love to ourselves with the help of our feline friends.

But, we do have a lot of love in our houses thanks to our fuzzy felines, and that's good enough for us. 

Cats are often seen as beautiful, graceful creatures, but we know that even cats can be wonderful whiskered weirdos, and we love them for it! So if they can be wonderfully wonky sometimes, so can we. Nobody is purrfect, not even cats, so let's take a second to laugh at these pawsitively silly cats and enjoy our Caturday together!

'Take it up with HR': Employee confronts coworker after she monitors their bathroom breaks and claims they are taking too long

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 09:00

Anyone who ever took a class in Communication that talked about the concept of reality TV shows knows how much the need to know what is going on in other people's lives is set in human nature. In social studies, they call it 'Peep Culture', and the name is pretty self-explanatory. 

But even after sitting through those classes, the amount of energy and time people waste in being unnecessarily invested in other people's businesses can still boggle my mind, and even more so when they feel the need to get involved.

This is exactly what the woman in this Reddit story has been doing to her coworker. OP (original poster), told Reddit about how her coworker keeps timing her bathroom breaks and complaining when they are "taking too long". The entitled coworker also keeps gossiping about OP in meetings and calling her different names. OP is lost about what to do with her, so she turns to Reddit for advice.

'It was the sweetest revenge I had ever seen': Sandwich shop employee quits on the spot, delivers uniform back to manager with "no excuses"

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 08:00

At some jobs, there is no winning solution to the boss's problems. It's often an issue that management has, then insists on passing down to their workers. This malicious compliance story is a great example of that dynamic. 

This person shared that as a college student, they needed a new gig, and found one with a manager who was "one of the biggest Karens you have ever met." Off to a great start! As a new employee, this person was swamped. While Karen was changing the procedures, it meant that this worker now had to stay hours past closing time. 

Clearly, the Karen manager was given a bunch of tasks to complete at closing time, but she wasn't given enough employees to make it happen. It puts a lot of pressure on an employee when they're told to close the store by 8:30, with no exceptions. They'll find themself staring at a crazy messy kitchen, and they know that if they leave it that messy, they'll anger the openers. Plus, you can't just leave things like sandwich scraps overnight. The only positive aspect of that will be all of the happy roaches and mice who will have a delectable meal overnight. No, trying to close a restaurant by yourself while under pressure to clock out at a certain time is frustrating. At least this person got back at their irritating manager!

Next up, this neighbor wouldn't stop tattling to the HOA… all because she could see her neighbor's boat from her yard

Job seeker gets flown out to an interview and meets the successful candidate who already started in the role: 'Dude has only been there about a week...'

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 07:00

There are things in life that you'll encounter, and you'll find nothing you've encountered previously has properly prepared you for it. Usually, these things will be so off-the-wall that there's no way anything could have properly anticipated them.  

The very idea of being flown out to a final interview and accepting a position, enjoying lavish dinner with the company's owner, only to go into the office and meet the guy who has just started working in the role you thought you had been accepting, is so unreal. It makes you wonder if part of the plan might have been trying to get an insider involved in the purchase of this worker's current company. That's the only narrative that makes any logical sense in this entire thing. It is simply not like any organization to spend that sort of money without any sort of goal in mind, but maybe the sheer nonsensicalness of all of this just speaks to the gross incompetence of the son who was set to take over his father's company… "Tommy Boy" type situation indeed.

Entitled Boomer calls neighbor 'lazy renter,' not knowing he's owned the house for 3 years: 'I told her to find the nearest retirement home'

Fail Blog - Sat, 05/04/2024 - 06:00

When you purchase a home, unfortunately, the neighbors come with it. And you never know what to expect. Are they going to be extremely friendly neighbors who bring over a welcome basket when you first move in, or are you going to get the neighbor who keeps to themselves, leading you to think they could be a possible secret spy but you'll never find out because they never come out of their house? Either way, either other is better than getting stuck next to an entitled Karen who will call the cops on you over your grass being too long. 

The Original Poster (OP) is dealing with that now. He's owned his house for three years now, and an entitled boomer moved into the neighborhood just about a year ago. You know, the kind that isn't afraid of confrontation or speaking their mind. And, well, she did. Let's say this witty Gen Xer's reply left her speechless and us nodding in approval on the sidelines. Keep reading to get the full scope. 

20 Cutest Kittens Of The Week: The Tiniest, Most Irresistibly Awwdorable Criminals (May 4, 2024)

Oh. You're here. Again. Despite all of our warnings, the title seemed to have fooled you. Yes, this is a listicle full of the smallest kittens of the week, but do you know what that means?! Do you know the power that these itty bitty kitties have over us?! These kitties make us aww without any control whatsoever. They somehow fill our tummies with butterflies that we cannot get rid of. One look at them and suddenly, we are looking up shelters near us to go adopt yet another kitten.

And worst of all, these kittens have the power to make us write this listicle every single week. Without exception. We simply must showcase the smallest kittens - i.e. the biggest criminals, and fawn over them continuously. So, here it is, have another warning. Go into this listicle solely if you dare to do so.
