'Please come back': Undervalued chef quits after boss refuses to pay full salary, restaurant collapses as boss begs him to come back

Fail Blog - Sat, 03/02/2024 - 10:00

There are challenges in the food industry. Drama, anxiety, and unforeseen events abound every day and must be managed to keep things running according to plan. What would happen, though, if your manager—who specifically sought you out for the position—tried to play the corporate game with you? Do you stay in your current role and work alongside those who make you detest the career you once loved, or do you leave to pursue better and more exciting opportunities far, far away from it all?

The story that follows tells the tale of a frustrated chef. The Original Poster (OP) was approached by his previous employer to become a sous chef at his new restaurant. But even with the rather low salary, OP decided to accept the job and began working straight away. At first, everything was going great; OP was working really hard, and the restaurant was doing rather well for itself. However, all changed when OP received his paycheck and saw that he had been greatly underpaid…

Having said that, make sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened! When you're finished, don't forget to read the story of the guest who ignores the hotel policy and demands nonexistent membership points from a fed-up front desk clerk!

Fail Blog - Sat, 03/02/2024 - 09:00

Most people try to be at least a little open-minded. However, as a spectator to the public and by watching people's interactions in the real world, it's tough not to get a little judgey on occasion.

Our next collection pays homage to the abominables of society, letting folks know that any number of things can get you weird looks in public, but a handful of acts can turn you into a despicable pariah in the eyes of the public walking the high road. So scroll onward to enjoy some things that absolutely deserve our judgment and if you're guilty of any of the following crimes, it's time to rethink life.

'Lo and behold... they had no mail service': Community handyman digs up an entire neighborhoods' mailboxes

Fail Blog - Sat, 03/02/2024 - 08:00

One retiree realized he had the time and resources to make a difference in his neighborhood. As his grandkid wrote in a post to r/maliciouscompliance, "it's pretty amazing what you can get done with 8 business hours of free time." Being retired is great in that way—you can do anything you please, including getting well acquainted with your neighbors. 

This dude's grandfather seems like an ideal neighbor: the kind of guy who brings donuts when he pops over for a visit, and who always has his neighbor's backs. He was also confused about why he and his neighbors had suddenly stopped getting their mail. We all get junk mail of course, but if you're waiting on a check or an important letter, getting your mail daily is a big deal. This grandfather had the time to figure out the mail issue, which was a pretty minor one, as he discovered. The fix for this issue was a bit more complicated! The original poster, u/zanfar, shared this excellent story, and commenters added their own stories about mailbox trouble. 

Next up, check out these people who just can't stop oversharing online, like the couple who keep "airing their drama about cheating on each other."

$11,000 machine gets destroyed after the operator is fired for exposing executive's embezzlement scheme: ' [The books were] $20,000 out'

Fail Blog - Sat, 03/02/2024 - 07:00

Growing up, we're taught that it's important to always tell the truth and that we should, further, point out and draw attention to any wrongdoing that we witness in the world around us. 

These points are even beaten into our heads in the US in the form of various folktales about historical United States presidents and other prominent figures doing "the right thing" when the chance was presented for them to do otherwise. Of course, while stories like "Honest Abe and the Six Pennies" serve as great lessons and offer a great idealistic view of the world, you'll be very disappointed when you grow older and discover that most politicians would sooner go to that lady's house to rob the rest of her cash too then make a trip all the way up there just to return six cents.

Similarly, you'll be disappointed to find that people generally don't like having the things they're doing wrong pointed out, especially when those things are strategically financially benefitting them. You'll also come to find that generally there are people with a lot more authority involved behind the scenes who also won't like having these things pointed out and it's far less likely that everyone is going to clap and cheer for you than those stories would have you believe.

This machinist was fired, along with his coconspirators, for exposing the shady president's embezzlement scheme. This, ultimately, also led to the destruction of the company's expensive CNC machine by the remaining unskilled and untrained workers.

20 Smallest Kittens Of The Week: The Tiniest, Most Irresistibly Cute Criminals (March 2, 2024)

LOL Cats - Sat, 03/02/2024 - 07:00

Welcome back, everyone. Once again, you are happy to see here in spite all of the warnings that we have given you. Every time we upload this weekly segment, we warn you that, although it may seem that way, this is not a mere collection of itty bitty teeny weeny kitties - this is a collection of criminals. They may small, but they are criminally smol, and there is a big difference. We warn you about it all the time, but, the same way that we seem to be unable to resist their powers, you guys seem to be so as well.

Every Saturday, we bring forth a whole new collection of tiny criminals. They are commonly known as "small kittens", but their powers are incredibly great. By choice, we allow them to steal our hearts and control our every reaction. We don't even think about the fact that most of us start uncontrollably awwing when we're around them. They're dangerous, and we're weak, and that's why we're all here, to see the biggest - i.e. smollest - criminals of the week.

Flight passengers get territorial over the empty seat between them: 'This is war'

Fail Blog - Sat, 03/02/2024 - 05:00

There is no sweet relief like the discovery that the empty seat next to you on the plane will remain empty for the duration of the flight… that is, unless you have to battle over the empty space with another passenger.

The anticipation begins when you board the plane and realize there is no one in that adjacent seat yet. You pray and pray to whomever until the boarding process is complete. Once the flight attendant confirms that everyone has boarded the plane, you can relax and enjoy the fact that you have a little extra arm and leg room. However, this Redditor discovered on her 14-hour flight from Los Angeles to Shaghai that she was going to have to fight for that extra space with an older woman two seats down who immediately usurped that extra seat for herself. The petty revenge that ensued involved consulting flight attendants, making it so that this woman could not get up to use the bathroom, and finally taking over the space when she did. Keep scrolling below to see what happened when the older woman finally had an outburst. 

For more stories like this, here is one about an entitled boss who threw shade at her employee for not giving her their first-class seat on a work trip.

Hip hip hooray! The weekend has finally arrived and we can go (and stay) home at last…

Couple Discovers Twin Stray Kittens on Street After Considering Cat Adoption for Months, Internet Reacts

LOL Cats - Fri, 03/01/2024 - 19:00

The cat distribution system has struck again!

One couple discovered twin stray kittens on their street after considering adopting a cat for quite a while already. We call that many things, but also fate. Actually, while we're on the topic of mysteriously finding things that we secretly wish for, let's call the phenomenon what it is… The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, also referred to as the frequency illusion or recency bias, occurs when something recently acquired in your knowledge suddenly appears to be omnipresent. Apparently, this works for cats as well! We are so happy to see these cute kitties get adopted, and we will sing the praises to this sweet couple forevermore.

Scroll down to read what commenters had to say about this adorable furrever family, and when you are done, be sure to check out the latest update of our favorite mailman and his stray cats.

‘Our agreement doesn’t apply': Employee quits and gets reimbursed for $21,000 after boss insists they commute 200 miles a day for 2 years without compensation

Fail Blog - Fri, 03/01/2024 - 15:00

Too many bosses don't know or care to go through company policy. But a handful of them know exactly which rules will benefit them… and not their employees. You would think that a boss who purposely makes their employee drive 200 miles a day without being compensated should be fired. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one rooting for this dude's professional demise…

So what happened? This boss lied to his employee and worse, manipulated them into commuting 200 miles a day for 2 entire years without paying them a dime. He thought he could get away with it, but he was wrong. The truth always comes to light in the end. This employee inevitably found out and hatched a plan to get all their money back… But they had no intention of involving their boss. Let's just say that justice was served. Scroll down to read all about it, and then check out this engineering firm that lost a huge client after one of the higher-ups punished an employee by taking them off an important project. Can't say I'm sad about that one, either. You get what you deserve, I guess.

'My mom ends up ruining the life of her ex-boss': Head of Finance gets caught making financial 'irregularities' for decades

Fail Blog - Fri, 03/01/2024 - 14:00

This woman managed to turn lemons into lemonade, even as she was getting fired from her job. We admire her can-do attitude, and her kid clearly did too, since they shared Mom's story to the malicious compliance subreddit. 

When companies do less-than-legal activities, they often try to make it seem totally normal. They need their employees to believe it's perfectly normal to bend the rules… and bend them some more… and keep bending them. By the time an employee has fully broken the rules, they won't have any way to defend themselves if legal issues come up. 

For this accountant, finding constant "small irregularities" was the norm. This did raise some red flags for her. She immediately knew what her boss was doing when he then hired another fiance person who had just graduated college: he was setting up the new person to take the fall. Read through this excellent story below. The original poster edited the post to add addition details, as well as noting that the positive reception "made their mom's day". 

Next up, read all about these people on social media who couldn't help but overshare, like one couple who aired all their cheating drama on social media

'I worked at a pizza place and I got a complaint that we delivered sushi': 20+ fast food workers share their worst customer service experiences

Fail Blog - Fri, 03/01/2024 - 13:00

Everyone has to deal with a considerable amount of nonsense at work, but these fast food workers likely have you beat. Whether it's poor management or disruptive Karens or other ungrateful customers, these heroes have seen the full range of the human experience at these establishments.

Some of these stories range from bad drive-thru encounters to angry phone calls from anonymous customers. From McDonald's to Panda Express, every fast food spot seems to attract families with screaming children, entitled Karens who have no right to start a fuss, and rowdy college students at the tail end of a night out. What do all of these customers have in common? Well, they're difficult. They're a nuisance. It's a miracle that these folks have survived so many of these interactions with their sanity intact. 

Keep scrolling below for the full collection of stories, which were compiled from the following r/AskReddit thread. When you're done, feel free to take a look at this post about an entitled landlady Karen.
