A woman endured a nightmare roommate situation recently, but was able to turn the tables. It all started when she discovered some pretty weird things in her room after returning from a work trip. Her new roommate tried to play dumb and act like she had no idea. But when the woman kept calling her out and smashing down all of her excuse the roommate finally confessed: She has been renting out her room on Airbnb while she was away. Completely flabbergasted, that wasn't even all of it. She also was renting out her wardrobe. What?! 

Obviously, the woman was furious. The roommate simply tried to gaslight her into thinking it wasn't that big of a deal and since she was so upset about it, she won't do it again. The woman decided then and there she was going to move out. Not just move out of the apartment, but out of the state. However, this didn't feel like a fitting end to this entitled roommate, so she went one step further. She calming spread the information about her roommate to others in the building. This then leaked to the landlord, who then went to the leasing company and now this entitled soon-to-be ex-roomie is getting kicked out, she's also blacklisted from all the local leasing companies. Good luck, bestie. 

Fluffy cats feel like they were designed specifically to brighten even the dullest day. There's something magical about seeing a cat so puffed, so cloud-like, that they barely look real. These extra-floofy friends waddle around the house like little animated pillows, tails swishing with enough volume to qualify as weather patterns.

Some fluffy cats look like they're wearing oversized winter coats year-round, turning every nap into a luxury spa moment. Others do that slow, confident strut, fully aware their fur gives them main-character energy. And when they sit down and turn into perfect round loaves? Peak perfection. Even the way they blink feels softer.

Of course, fluff also means lots of grooming, unexpected puff explosions, and a constant layer of softness floating through the air, but it's worth it. There's nothing quite like burying your face in a warm, purring cloud after a long day. Fluffy cats don't just look cute; they radiate comfort. They're walking serotonin boosts, tiny emotional support marshmallows, and proof that the world is better with a little extra fuzz in it.

Sometimes, even the most harmless prank can turn you into the neighborhood villain…Just ask this young man who created, what he'd call, the most hilarious gnome prank in history. Yes, take a moment, we also didn't know the words gnome and hilarious could be used in the same sentence, but here we are. People are either very creative these days, or very, very bored! This man decided it would be a great idea to reposition his middle-aged neighbor's lawn gnomes, inch by inch, and every night…In a 'light-hearted' attempt to watch his neighbor fall into a spiral of utter confusion. I am imagining this, or did Summer and Christmas gnome swap places…

No. They did not. But after weeks of thinking, aliens have finally and silently invaded this planet, this neighbor confronted the young man. Within seconds, he confessed to his gnome-riddled crime…A big smile spread across his face. Yet, his neighbor was still desperately trying to see where the humor fit into this situation. He just wasn't getting it…Now all the neighbors know about this prank, and instead of writing it down for later use, they criticized the young man for the panic he had caused his neighbor. 

When she was first adopted, this little queen wanted nothing to do with her new human. The energy was very much "do not perceive me," paired with "you may place my food on the floor and walk away." For a while, she ran the home like a tiny landlord while her hooman acted as the unpaid staff member who provided snacks, shelter, and quiet admiration from a distance.

Then, slowly but surely, everything shifted. Now she follows her person from room to room like a furry security guard on a mission. Bathroom privacy no longer exists. She kicks the door open with full confidence, as if checking that rent is being paid on time. And if her pawrent dares take too long to sit so she can nap on their chest, she voices her displeasure immediately and dramatically.

Watching her soften has been the sweetest part. The jump from aloof royalty to affectionate shadow shows just how much trust can change a cat's world. And somewhere along the way, her purrson realized it changed theirs too. Sometimes you don't know how much you needed a little cat until the moment she decides you're hers.

Kudos to employees who leave when they've taken enough mistreatment from their so-called "superiors". It's challenging to discern when it's the right time to call it quits on a job, but as the saying goes, "If you know, you know."

To be quite frank with members of the workforce out there, an accepting, satisfactory boss is leaning toward becoming the exception, not the rule. No matter who you ask, we're sure that anyone would be able to recall a manager or supervisor who exerted unfathomable amounts of power just to make themselves seem better in the eyes of their superior. The workplace hierarchy makes everyone act in a way they might not have if they had taken different paths, but we're in this timeline. Superiors are becoming meaner, and employees are becoming more exhausted by them.

The manager in this next story leads a meeting after a handful of resignations earlier in the week. Usually, when multiple employees resign at once, it is reflective of the manager's ineptness… But a superior would never admit fault in such a way. So, instead, the manager gives the remaining employees a spiel about company loyalty. Not the greatest idea, boss… Scroll to read.

2025 -- what a year to be alive. What disaster didn't happen this year? But we're not alone in our desperate clinging to stability and lightheartedness. We all need a pip in our step to enter 2026 with the state of things, and that pip can be a wholesome and hissterical cat meme scroll of chaotic kitties simply creating mayhem. When they spill your glass of water for the 2nd time this week, there's no other reaction than to just laugh it off. From midnight zoomies to biting your nose when you pet them, cats give us comedy gold without even trying. As we wrap up our year in whatever rituals and ways we do, it's a purrfect opportunity to recognize our disasters with smiles by scrolling cat memes. 

The best thing about cat memes is that they're not just silly, but they're so absolutely relatable! You can do it anytime, anywhere, and you never have to be afraid about someone looking over your shoulder to see who you're swiping, or what weird things you're googling or talking to ChatGPT about. Cat memes are a ubiquitous pleasure, so end the year with the same chaos we started it with, and don't be afraid to acknowledge the hooligan in all of us.

Have you ever gotten something you really wanted in a Secret Santa exchange? No? Me either… and yet still, people insist on having these events every year. 

Secret Santas, White Elephants, and Pollyanas are all types of secret gift exchanges that happen during the holiday season. The only problem is that they don't usually have the best results. Oftentimes, you're given a gifting minimum and maximum. But unless the person who pulls your name knows you well, you're probably just going to get some random junk. For example, you might end up with some expired cookies, or some bubble bath when you only have a shower, or a shirt that's 3 sizes too big. It often ends up regifted, or even just given back for next year's Secret Santa exchange!

I think these things have fallen out of fashion a bit, probably because you can buy very highly customizable stuff online. Giving someone a generic gift just because is a bit wasteful. And in today's day and age, who has money to waste on gifts that won't be appreciated anyway? 

Not to mention that some people will take the exchange seriously, putting thought and effort into their present choices, while others just whiff on the whole thing and give joke presents. Like, is a bottle of car cleaner really a hilarious joke, or are you just cleaning out your garage and feeling lazy? 

Some people were kind enough to share the wild and crazy "gifts" they got in their own gift exchanges. I mean, does bubble wrap count as a gift? I think not. But that's not even the worst thing someone received from a coworker or friend, as you can read all about down below.  

The story here centers around a couple and a cat. The protagonist is a girl who's had some rough patches in her housing situation. She was separated from her cat for a bit while she was figuring out where to live. They finally found a place, and she starts dating someone. Her boyfriend starts to complain about the cat – about the fur everywhere, about how the cat likes to sit in the sink. The boyfriend threatens to leave his girlfriend over the cat, claiming that he wants her to consider her priorities. She cries, she begs him to stay and that he's breaking her heart. 

As time goes on, the tables turn, and the boyfriend is the one who finds he loves the cat. Suddenly, he's into the cat, he wants to spend time with the cat, and he doesn't want to break up anymore. But something doesn't feel right for the girl. She ends up leaving him over the whole fiasco and deems him controlling. She moves out, and her and her cat get an apartment together. She takes her authority and power from him, and does what's the right thing for her, and claims she's never been happier. 

This high school senior was certainly not expecting to run into her father during her first girls trip.

Don't worry, it only gets worse from there.

After convincing her parents to let her go on a weekend trip with her best friends, she was a bit taken aback when she learned that her father just so happened to have a business trip in the same area that very same weekend. Coincidence? We think not.

When she and her friends went out to a fancy dinner one night, things took a bit of a turn. The daughter saw her father there, but this time, he wasn't spying on her. Instead, she spent much of the evening spying on him, since he was seated opposite another woman. Let's just say they did not look like colleagues. 

By the end of the evening, the 17-year-old couldn't take it anymore and walked right over to confront her father, demanding answers. He then begged his daughter not to tell his mother what she saw, which inevitably put the onus on the daughter to make a difficult decision.

For all the times that we find cats to be abrasive, arrogant and unkind, they know when it is time to show up and be a bro. Sometimes it is in the form of providing comfort in our deepest and darkest times of need, and other times, like in this story, it is literally saving our lives. It is a part of the extremely polar relationships that cats like to form, where there is little to no middle ground in any part of it.

Making the good sides of caring for a cat incredible and the bad sides insufferable. But because the good is just that important and meaningful, we happily overlook the bad and focus all our attention on the good that may or may not return one day. And when you come across stories like the one we have for you today, you will believe in the incredible good of cats no matter how felines have treated you in the past.

What happens when a customer demands to go over your head and speak to the manager… but you are the manager?

Just ask these people — they know all too well the delights of telling a frustrated customer that they're already doing all they can. There's simply no one else above them who can help out more. Oftentimes, it's not the manager's fault at all. Some customers just want things they simply cannot have, like free products, or unreasonable time frames for receiving things. Just because they demand to speak to a higher-up, they smugly think that this is the way to achieve that unrealistic goal. 

There really is a certain type of customer who will proudly walk into a shop and request to have a product for free… as if the entire point of a business isn't to sell product and turn a profit. They think they're better than everyone else, or more deserving of freebies for some reason, and they've decided that if they're loud enough about their demands, management will bend the knee and grant their ridiculous request. No can do! As you can read about down below, a lot of customers push these workers too far, and end up getting a lifetime ban from their favorite store. If only they had asked nicely, things might've turned out differently!

Ah, Friday. That sweet, sweet day when the workweek finally waves goodbye and we can all exhale… maybe with a cat purring somewhere on our lap, demanding attention with the subtlety of a tiny floofy dictator. There's nothing quite like a Friday with a feline friend nearby, soft paws tapping, whiskers twitching, and that unmistakable "I am adorable, give me treats" energy radiating strongly from every soft meow. It's like your own personal weekend hype squad, but with fur.

Cats have this magical way of turning even the most mundane moments into laugh-out-loud chaos. They can be snoozing like tiny loafs of purrfection, but then they're suddenly zooming around like little furry hurricanes, knocking over pens, tripping over cables, or somehow ending up in the weirdest places. You can't help but giggle (or maybe quietly groan) at their antics. Every paw and head bop is a reminder that life's better when sprinkled with cat chaos.

So as Friday brings us over into the weekend, what better way to celebrate than with a bunch of silly, wholesome feline fun? Sit back, maybe pour a cup of something warm, and let these cats do their thing. Because if there's ever a day to laugh at the adorable absurdity of life, it's Friday, and if there's ever a creature to lead that charge, it's definitely a cat.

This job candidate's behavior during the interview process proved to be a bit divisive.

Well, technically, there was no interview process because he didn't even make it that far. This guy retold the story about how he went in to interview for a retail job and was immediately suspicious about how the organization skills of management (or lack thereof) before he even got there. It sounds like scheduling his window was already ridiculously and unnecessarily challenging. Red flag #1, folks!

Then, he got there a bit early and was told that he needed to wait a few minutes. Not a problem, especially since he was the one who arrived prematurely. But that few minutes time frame ended up turning into 5 minutes, then 15, and then half an hour. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and asked the receptionist what could possibly be taking so long.

It turns out that the hiring manager who was meant to be interviewing him was brought into an urgent meeting with her supervisor. However, the author was not having this story, as they could have just been transparent about this from the moment he walked in. Keep scrolling below to see the full story and for the discourse regarding his temperament from several members of this online community.

Some people believe in humanity. Some believe in a higher power. But we, at the I Can Has Cheezburger HQ? We wholeheartedly believe in the Cat Distribution System. The meowsterious force behind so many successful cat adoptions, working from behind the scenes of the world to match the cats in need to their hoomans - and the people in need of a cat to their forever felines. It's hard not to appreciate what the CDS does, despite no one actually knowing how it does what it does. Mysterious and adored - just like cats themselves.

In some cases of CDS matchmaking, it's the cat who insists on being adopted. Like in this particular adoption story - the cat was in need and yelled until a kind person took him in. Some people wait for literal years until the CDS sends them a fluffy feline friend. But others? Others just have a wholesome friend who saves a kitten from the woods and asks you to foster them… until you realise this kitten chose you to be their forever hooman, and your home to be their forever home. We love a foster fail, because it means a successful adoption.

But you know what we specifically appreciate about adoption stories like this one? The fact that this cat was all alone. No feline or human family in sight - this smol kitten didn't even know how to fend for himself. But he knew to ask for help from the right person. No cat deserves to be alone, and we're happy to know this kitten will never be alone again.

Do you believe coworkers should remain colleagues and nothing more, or do you think a friendship can develop in the workplace?

We worked in enough workplaces to see both happen, but it really depends on the people more than anything else. Some people don't come into work looking for more than a professional relationship with their coworkers, while others crave a deeper connection with the people they see every single day.

The thing is, becoming friends with your coworker is more than just going out for drinks with them at the end of the workday. The tiniest complication in your delicate friendship can create an awkward environment for everyone in the office. And the forced proximity is probably not the best cause for people to become friends…

The coworkers in the story below were never friends, but they were friendly, and they liked it that way. That was at least until one of them crossed a line that caused the entire professional friendship to crumble–she asked for money.

If we had to describe what our top three ideal jobs would be, cuddling cheetahs would definitely be in that list, along with panda caretaker and red panda photographer. Being an otter caretaker is a close fourth, but we can't stand the smell of raw fish, so that bumps it out of the top three. If you're wondering if "cheetah cuddler" is a real job, then we're here to inform you that it is! Well, you're not just cuddling cheetahs, you'd actually have to be a park ranger who works at a nature conservatory, and your job is to guard the family of cheetahs. It just so happens that cheetahs are very anxious, and they often look for emotional support, which is a sweet spot for a hooman to slide into.

CCTV footage caught him sleeping in an elevated platform overnight, and the family of cheetahs decided to join him. One by one, they slowly made their way over to him to get some midnight snuggles, until they ended up in one giant cuddle puddle that is enough to make any cat lover purrfectly jealous. 

It's not too late to abandon your job and become a park ranger that gets to cuddle cheetahs - anything is pawssible with enough grit and determination. Let us know if it works out for you, and don't furget your friends at I Can Has Cheezburger who helped you get there!

We're not quite sure how this family became the villain in this neighborhood drama?… But there is just something about a tight-knit community that makes it difficult for newcomers to replace any long-time homeowners, who have made countless friends and memories in the neighborhood! When you move into a new home, it may take a while to make it feel like yours. But when you eventually do, there's no better feeling. Yet, in some homes, there will still be many traces of the previous owners: heights written against the doorframe, or simply just a few boxes of belongings left behind after the move. Whilst most people would paint the doorframe or throw the away the 'meaningless' boxes…This family thought that returning the previous owner's old belongings was the right thing to do! 

So they called the previous owner's daughter, requesting she come and pick up her late parents' things. But she kept dodging their calls and rejecting any contact. So the family decided to sell the goods instead…However, years later, the woman showed up on their doorstep, absolutely losing it when she learned her parents' belongings had been sold! Not only that, but she, too, began demanding entry into her old home…But when the family refused, feeling cornered by her aggressive attitude, the other (long-time neighbors and friends) began 'banging the door down' alongside her! 

It's almost Catmas! Can you smell the catnip in the air? The purrfect pine trees just waiting to be climbed? The ornaments just begging to be torn down and played with? It's the most meownderful and chaotic time of the year, and we got you a present! Yes, you've been a very good purrson this year, and Santa told us you're on his nice list. We want you to end this week with joy and jingles, so here are some original cat memes just for you!

No need to thank us, it's our pleasure. Your Christmas tree may already be in shambles, your credit card maxed out, and your stress at an all-time high, but at the very least, there are still hissterically silly feline funnies to laugh at every week. And not just any funny felines, these are I Can Has Cheezburger originals - from the cattest of cat people, the craziest of cat lovers, and your self-proclaimed internet expurrts who know cat memes like the backs of our paws. 

Cats, just like their memes, bring purrfect happiness into our lives. So even though it may be pawsitively bonkers outside, know that you can always come to this side of the internet for a little peace, silliness, and a good giggle-break. It's not much, but you might be surprised how much it makes a difference to simply laugh a little every day.

When an employee is spending more time avoiding work than actually getting things done, the bosses tend to notice. They don't like that kind of thing! They've hired an employee to work, obviously, and when they don't, their burden falls onto the shoulders of their colleagues. Depending on how big the team is, it might take a while for management to notice if someone is sneaking off every day, wasting hours of working time, or if someone doesn't do any work by refusing to answer calls. There are plenty of ways that a person can "work" for 8 hours while accomplishing basically nothing. 

Some workers managed to finesse their company's time clocks. One dude was called out for driving to work, clocking in, then leaving all day to do whatever he pleased, then finally coming back at the end of the day to clock out. It's no wonder he got fired! Another person was hired to do quality checks, but instead, spent every working moment writing his own book. Naturally, when the company found out, they were not happy, and he was fired quick. He'll have to sell a lot of copies to replace that steady salary! And of course, there are lots of workers who just straight-up steal from their jobs, like one waitress who kept swiping tips that weren't hers. Coworkers clearly notice that kind of thing, and even if they don't, the cameras will tell on her instead. Keep reading to discover a bunch of excellent stories of all the ways people got fired on the spot, as told by the coworkers and bosses who watched it all play out.
