Hissterical Series of Cute Cats Simultaneously Embracing Their Inner Weirdos and Drama Queens

LOL Cats - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 09:00

Hey, cool cats. It's no secret that we often refer to cats as adorable little weirdos. Likewise we also often refer to them as total and full-fledged drama queens (and kings, of course). But honestly, we find that they are constantly embracing both of these attributes, even simultaneously. They have a flare for the dramatics that's in their feline DNA. We human feline appreciators would not have them any other way, our cats march to the beats of their own little drums and we adore that. Their independence is inspiring, despite not actually being independent in the financial sense, that's where we come in. 

Anyway, we figured we would take a break from all the craziness of the internet to focus on a splendid series of cats engaging their inner weirdos as well as their inner drama queens in a fabulous array of cute cat photos. Go ahead, and enjoy all of the cuteness and feline goodness we have to offer you today!

'He was entering that entire subdivision... as "Do Not Deliver"': HOA tips so badly on pizza order that manager calls them to complain

Fail Blog - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 08:00

If you've ever wondered what you could do to make a pizza parlor blacklist you, check out this story. I know what you're thinking: what do you mean you can get blacklisted by a pizza place? Aren't they supposed to deliver to wherever you tell them to when you place your order?

I was surprised to learn that they can and will ban people from ever ordering again. I thought that was something managers reserved for teenagers who prank call them with giant pizza orders sent to addresses that don't exist. But no! It turns out that there are some adults who are so impolite that a manager will ban them forever. 

At least for one employee, u/kytulu, their manager had their back. While some supervisors will let customers walk all over them, this guy knew which battles were worth picking. The manager actually called the offending party back to give them a piece of his mind. Clearly, the HOA group had never given much consideration to tipping etiquette… let's hope they've learned their lesson. Next time they order a pie (from a different pizza joint, obviously) they'll know better than to be stingy. 

Up next, these people shared the shocking things that wedding objectors had to say, like one groom's dad who loudly announced, "It's not too late, son!

Boomer Dad Volunteers To Cat-Sit, Sends The Most Hilarious Boomer Style Photo Updates To Cat's Parents

LOL Cats - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 08:00

Hey, friends. It's truly striking one of the differences between generational groups. For example, the way one approaches technology varies astronomically between generational divides. We often refer to blurry pictures, selfies with a hint of a fingertip in the frame as total boomer style and not at all tech-savvy photos. 

Well, when one boomer dad volunteered to cat-sit for his kid, the cat's parents received a series of hilarious boomer-style photo updates that needed to be shared with the wide expanse of the internet. And for this, we are thankful to the cat's parents. Dad sent various photo updates, at least two out of four of them were thoroughly blurry, and the others featured half a slice of Dad's face. We would expect nothing less than hilarious, and nothing less than hilarious we received. Regardless of the style of photo updates, it's abundantly evident that the cat in question was having a grand old time with her sitter.

'It’s satisfying watching the management scramble': IT department brought to a standstill when upper management decides they need to approve everything

Fail Blog - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 07:00

There's this thing that happens every now and again in organizations where someone, usually high up on the food chain, decides that everything—every decision, order, expense, or report—needs to pass across their desk. They do so severely underestimating the gravitas of what they've just requested, with little comprehension of just how many things they're going to be handling, dependent on their pen stroke to proceed. Of course, maybe not right away, but at some point, things are going to begin piling up. And when everything is waiting on your approval, nothing is getting done, and the peeved-off workers who have been deprived of all agency in their roles aren't going to make things any easier for you by complying with your demand to the letter.

You've probably read about or experienced this situation before, and if you've been hanging around here or r/MaliciousCompliance for long, then you've certainly seen this exact scenario play out in a similar story. This story is no different, with upper management deciding they need to keep a tighter leash on something that they don't understand in the name of chasing even higher profits—bringing the whole thing to a standstill.

20 Mildly Annoyed Cats Taking Their Airplane Ears To Brand New Heights

LOL Cats - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 07:00

One of the things that we love the most as cat owners is seeing our cats react to things. It doesn't even matter what it is. It can be anything from cats reacting to other animals with shock, to cats reacting to cats reacting to closed doors with seething hatred, all the way to cats reacting to video games with other cats in them with utter fascination. Whatever gets a reaction our of our cats is something that we love and cherish. 

Whether their reaction is one of surprise or contentment or mild enjoyment… we love it. And when our cats are mildly annoyed or taken aback ever so slightly by something and their ears do that thing when they point in either direction in the sharpest and cutest way… the thing that in the cat community we call "airplane ears", now that is a reaction that we truly adore.

'The company collapsed without me': Overworked employee quits after being put on probation, company fires entire management team shortly after that

Fail Blog - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 06:00

This might be petty, but it is extremely satisfying to hear that the toxic company you worked for and carried on your back is crumbling without you. Even though you might actually care about the work or the clients, if you left (or even asked to leave) without being appreciated, it feels good to know that at least karma had your back.

Which is what happened to this employee in this Reddit story. After OP (original poster) threw their back out at the job, they were put on a performance improvement plan, which basically means they were on probation at work. OP didn't like being underappreciated, so they left shortly after that. Now, 6 months later, with a great new job at hand, OP saw that the old company posted job ads for the director, manager, supervisor, etc… Basically, everyone who disrespected OP while they were there.

When Cat Training Goes Wrong: Cat Learns That Scratching Furniture Is Bad, Does It On Purpose To Get Corrected And Get Treats

LOL Cats - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 06:00

You know how people say that it's impossible to train a cat? They're wrong. You can train a cat. It might not be easy, but it's possible. For some people. And some cats. In some highly specific situations. Because let's be real- yes, it's possible to train a cat, but odds are that your cat training is going to go very wrong. Hilariously wrong. Most likely, your cat will end up training you

Hey, don't be mad at yourself. Even the CIA failed at training cats. And although it's rough to realize that you have been outsmarted by your feline and that your months and possibly years of training was pointless… you do have to admit that, looking back on it, it is hilarious. And that's what the person in this thread is going to realize eventually. Yes, it hurts now, but eventually, you'll let the cat win and look back at this moment and laugh.

'They tried to deny my unemployment claim': Top 10+ "HR is not your friend" stories

Fail Blog - Mon, 03/25/2024 - 05:00

Let this serve as a friendly remember to never trust that HR has your back. No matter how charming their smiles are or how friendly they may seem when you're making small talk in the kitchenette, do not be fooled into thinking that anyone in the HR department is supporting anyone other than the head honchos. 

The grim part of this truth is that it may not even be HR's fault at the end of the day. They too are doing their jobs in an already established system. However, some of these stories certainly demonstrate the lengths some HR employees will go to carry out their boss's wishes. These anecdotes were compiled from the following r/AskReddit thread. 

Keep scrolling below for the full list. When you're done, feel free to take a look at this story about a job candidate whose potential salary was suddenly halved during the final interview round.

‘Good luck, you're going to need it’: Overworked employee deletes company data from software he created after CEO fires him without an explanation

Fail Blog - Sun, 03/24/2024 - 16:00

Being an employee or being self-employed, there is a constant feud about which one is better. Some would prefer being independent because you get to control the hours in which you work, you don't have anyone to answer to, and you are free to make your own decisions. Others would say that being an employee is actually a lot easier, working the 9 to 5 and then enjoying carefree evenings, without having to carry the burden of being your own boss.

Another huge disadvantage of being an employee is the fact that you are constantly being judged and observed by other people, and it is even worse when you are underappreciated for your hard work. The employee in this Reddit story had to deal with this exact problem, even after they proved themselves as a valuable asset to the company. A year after OP (original poster) joined the company, and after receiving great feedback from the CEO, OP was unexpectedly fired. Wanting to prove just how much the company is going to miss them, OP denies access to the automation software they created while being on the job.

Entitled stranger bizarrely attempts to steal bed from couple on cruise by sitting uncomfortable close to them: 'I just needed to sit'

Fail Blog - Sun, 03/24/2024 - 15:00

A couple was relaxing on a twin-sized bed on the deck of a cruise ship when a stranger approached them and sat down right next to them, seemingly without any regard for their personal space. Rightfully so, the couple was taken aback by the stranger's audacity, and when they questioned her, she simply replied that she needed to sit.

Commenters on the story speculated about the entitled stranger's motives, with some suggesting that she may have been trying to steal the bed and that she felt entitled to it. Some people pointed out the blatant fact that she was on a cruise ship, and you're bound to run into all sorts of people in that environment. Other users valued the Original Poster by sharing their own experiences of similar situations in crowded public places where strangers had intruded on their personal space. One woman said she once was on a train, and a woman actually sat down on her lap. What would you do if you were in this situation?

‘If you don’t keep an eye on her, she will get into the kitchen’: Woman spoils 40 pounds of tomatoes, gets banned from her SIL’s house

Fail Blog - Sun, 03/24/2024 - 14:00

Tomatoes: what can't they do? They're the perfect food for making a BLT on a hot summer day. And for those cold winter nights, you can do what this chef did, and cook up a big pot of sauce. This person apparently also goes big or goes home, because she decided to cook up 40 pounds of tomatoes in one sitting. That's well over 100 tomatoes—her recipe could've had 120 tomatoes or more, depending on their size.

If you're an experienced chef, making meals in huge batches is a great way to save time. Sure, it might take a whole day now, but it'll save dozens of hours in the future, since there will be no need to shop for sauce or make it day of. This home chef, who goes by u/Strong-Emu7954, writes that she put all of the tomatoes into a giant pot on the stove, and left it to simmer. She's a braver chef than I, because what if she had put in too much salt, or burnt the bottom of the pan? Then she'd be out 40 whole pounds of tomatoes. Well… this woman actually doesn't have to try that hard to imagine, as she detailed below in a post to r/AmItheA******.

Mother gets back at childless ex-husband who pressured her to have kids early: 'I want to send him a "Happy Birthday" message from me & my son'

Fail Blog - Sun, 03/24/2024 - 13:00

This might have been a situation where the higher road was worth taking. As tempting as it is to twist the knife and be your fullest, pettiest self, there is a limit to how far one should go. It's easy to roll your eyes at the concept, but happiness is the best form of revenge at the end of the day.

This mother of a now toddler realized that her ex-husband's 30th birthday was approaching. They hadn't seen each other in two years since their divorce was officially finalized. Their marriage fell apart in their early twenties after he was pressuring her to have kids early, she rejected those pressures, and then he went ahead and cheated on her. Yikes! 

Of course, we sympathize with what this woman has been through. That being said, she seemed to have bounced back quickly. She found another partner and ended up having a child at the time she felt was right. Now that her ex is about to turn 30 and still does not have a kid, she wants to wish him a Happy Birthday using her own kid. Ooof! Even the petty folks on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit thought this was too far. Hopefully, she got the message and stopped herself before it was too late.

'You need my help? It'll cost 1 million': Scorned employee takes 10 weeks of vacation time before quitting job

Fail Blog - Sun, 03/24/2024 - 12:00

These bosses picked the exact wrong employee to mess with. 

Some companies think so highly of themselves that they forget to show appreciation to the employees who make the magic happen. We all know that in today's day and age, the best way to grow your salary and gain extra PTO is by job hopping (aka moving companies every couple years). But it wasn't always like that. Just ask Jimmy, an older employee at a company who stayed at the same job for more than four decades! That's real loyalty there.

There's value in having an employee who's been at the company long enough to know its history and why certain decisions were made. And in Jimmy's case, he was the only person with knowledge of how a particular product was created. 

Unfortunately, this company got sold to a big corporation, and the new management "immediately goes after many of the great benefits we had." You can really tell which corporations value only money, and which ones realize that having skilled employees is just as valuable. The new company clearly just cared about saving as much money as possible. Happy employees? Who needs 'em?
