'I'm not logging on': Worker asked to do their job remote after being told by CEO that their job couldn't be, takes the day off instead

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 15:00

One of the best things to come out of the train wreck that was the last four years of existence globally was the newfound discovery that working remotely was indeed possible for many jobs. Of course, this was something that workers everywhere had been trying to tell their bosses for years, but the top brass, afraid of upsetting the status quo and sending their companies into a tailspin—and wanting to maintain every last ounce of control over their workers—insisted that it just wasn't possible. 

Lo and behold, when workers were actually given the opportunity to work from home (thanks to certain global events), it was found that all those workers were right… their jobs could be done from home. These companies did fine; some companies able to operate effectively in this way did even better. But now, a few years later, that's all being forgotten. In those same sectors that thrived during the "work from home" period, more and more workers are being told to return to the office or hit the road.

Anyways, even though that's not exactly the discussion at hand in this popular online thread, it fits the theme: An arrogant CEO insisting that their workers can't work from home—except for when it suits them and works in their favor.

'Wait, cheese doesn’t come from trees?': 20+ Unintentionally hilarious moments

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 14:00

Although these people weren't trying to be funny, they gave everyone around them the giggles. 

Every friend group has that one person who cracks everyone up with their lack of common sense or knowledge. We all have a few gaps in our knowledge, but some people just make you wonder how they ever got to be this old without knowing basic information. One person wrote that they knew someone who was upset about daylight savings time. Not because she was getting less sleep or had her schedule disrupted, but instead, because she worried the extra hour of sunlight was fading her curtains! This is the kind of little mistake that makes us smile. This person wasn't the only witness to some silly comments. Other people also replied to the OP's question asking, "What is the dumbest/funniest thing you've ever heard someone say that wasn't intended to be a joke?" 

Kids are always coming up with hilarious jokes or sayings by accident. They're often more clever than the kid even realizes! Other people shared stories from their time in the workplace, or things their friends said while they were on vacation. You can check out these great anecdotes below. Then, read up on some excellent rare insults, like one person who said, "Listen here, you six-piece chicken McNobody."

Entitled Costco Kevin cuts the line, gets booted to the back: 'When your enemy is making a mistake, let them'

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 13:00

There is nothing like watching a line-cutter get some much-deserved karma. As much as we'd like this kind of circumstance to be a regular occurrence, the reality is that these moments of justified comeuppance are few and far between. So when these rare but special moments do arise, we have to embrace them wholeheartedly and remember the feeling of warmth that we feel when entitled people feel the wrath of karma rearing its head.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/subliminalconnection, who was cut off in line by an older Kevin. However, OP knew this dude did not have the right order slip and was in the wrong line the entire time. However, because he wasn't given any respect, OP did not share that knowledge with the man. Keep scrolling below to see how Kevin reacted when he learned that he was waiting in the wrong line the entire time. For more stories like this, check out this post about entertaining rule-breakers.

Update: 'That's the end of my narcissistic boss': Boss gets fired after dishwashing malicious compliance

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 11:00

Working in a kitchen is the kind of high-octane environment where people can get testy and emotions can run high. Those of us who have worked in restaurants before know exactly what this is like, and those of us who have not can pretend they understand because they watch The Bear.

This thread was initially posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit a few months ago, but the original poster is back with a new update. For the sake of clarity, we have included both posts below. In the first post, the kitchen worker decided to enact some dishwashing-related malicious compliance to spite their toxic boss, who did not care that workers had to regularly work later than they were supposed to. The update shows how the worker brought this new mentality to the grab-and-go department and follows the toxic boss getting his comeuppance after the high turnover rate finally caught up with him.

Keep scrolling below for the full story. When you're done, check out this post about a bad startup interview.

A Seriously Sleepy Series Of 27 Purriceless Cute Cat Yawns Caught In A Snoozy Symphony

These cute kitties are caught on camera looking like they're singing the dramatic opera solo of their nine lives, and we just want to stop your scrolling experience for a second to have you pause for a meowment to enjoy all of this cuteness. They're awwdorable, silly, and purrfectly feline!

‘I can’t give you a key to someone else's room': Guest demands access to hotel room despite reservation not being under his name, front desk clerk refuses to give him a key, leading to a dispute

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 10:00

Working a graveyard shift when you are at a front desk type of job is always… interesting. The stories that those employees tell in the break room afterward are always the funniest and most unhinged ones. The combination of the late hour, lack of sleep, the manager not being present, and weird customers always creates the best tales to be told.

 A lot of those tales end up on Reddit, much like this one. The OP of this story worked at the front desk of a hotel on a night shift during Mardi Gras. During that night a lot of interesting people showed up, but the most interesting one was a guy who had no reservations and asked for a room on the spot. When he was told there were no rooms available, the guy claimed he was the supervisor of a big company that had reservations in the hotel for some of their employees, and demanded to get a key to one of his employees' rooms. With no ID or any confirmation that what the guy was saying was true,  OP simply couldn't let the guy in.

Keep scrolling to read the rest of the story. If you are in the mood for more stories like this one, click here for a story of an entitled customer who demanded a delivery guy shovel snow from her driveway.

LOL Cats - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 10:00

Oh, cats. How we love you and your kitty purrfection, but how we hate those expensive "emergency" vet visits. Because we can't speak cat, any little thing could be an emergency, like all of a sudden deciding to stop eating for a few days. As loving cat pawrents, of course, we will do anything to help our little fur babies, even if it means shelling out thousands of dollars just to find out that they really need to use the litter box!

From laxatives to flatulence, these hissterical vet stories have our wallets (and our funny bones) aching. Take a gander through these hilarious cat-tastrophies and just be thankful that it wasn't you shelling out all of this money. It's a good thing our cats are cute, right? Just kidding, we love them no matter what they look like and we're just glad that they're healthy!

Traveler forced to unpack every single box after customs officer cleverly complies with his demands to 'proceed by the book'

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 09:00

Have you ever heard the expression, 'You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar'? The best example of what this statement signifies is found in the story that follows.

OP establishes the scenario at the beginning of the story.  OP is employed by the customs department. As such, a great deal of the day's events hinge on whether those who cross the border assist border patrol agents in carrying out their duties or make their life more difficult by disobeying them. The story begins with OP at work, attempting to go about his business quietly, when Mark (fictitious name) pulls up in his posh black SUV and demands to be let through the border without any checks or security procedures. To be honest, I don't think there would have been any issues if Mark had handled the matter with more grace and politeness. But, since Mark was only seeking problems, OP made the decision, with the assistance of his supervisor, to teach Mark some humility.

So, if you're interested in learning how OP got even with the entitled traveler, scroll down and check out the story below! When you're finished, don't forget to read the account of the so-called 'professional' graphic designer who refused to accept responsibility for her mistakes!

'Best $60 I ever made': Steak-eating diners get caught in torrential downpour after refusing to dine indoors

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 08:00

These diners bet against Mother Nature and lost badly. That's what happens when you think you know better than everyone around you! 

The weather is not something any of us can control. If we could, we'd happily stop hurricanes and tornados in their tracks. But of course, human beings can't stop hundreds of thousands of raindrops or snowflakes from falling to Earth. 

It's halfway through the 2020s, if we could have this technology, someone would've invented it by now. No, all we have for now is umbrellas and 10-day forecasts. It doesn't matter if you're on a big vacation or if it's your graduation day, a rainstorm can put a damper on that with ease. On a normal day, if you have an umbrella or rain jacket with you, you might barely notice the rain coming down around you. However, this group of nine diners decided that nothing was going to stop their dinner. They were content to eat some steaks and drinks while enjoying this fancy restaurant. It didn't matter to them that their waiter, u/iamjayjayisme, tried numerous times to tell them about an incoming issue. Some people are just convinced they're right 100% of the time. They certainly learned a lesson that day! 

While we're on the subject of wealthy people and their shenanigans, check out this multi-million dollar project that was stopped by a few crafty neighbors.

'He confessed he lied on his resume': Programmers band together to get nepotistic managers fired

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 07:00

There's this thing that happens in life that you'll see time and time again, where you meet someone in a position of authority and can't help but wonder how in the heck they got there. Maybe they're not necessarily cruel (though that's usually the case), but they'll be so obstinate and incompetent that you can't help but be surprised that no one else noticed. 

Man Refuses To Comfort His Pregnant Fiancée After She Demanded That They Give Away Their Cat, Changed Her Mind And Was Unable To Get Him Back

LOL Cats - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 07:00

If you're a cat owner who wants to start a family, we're certain that you and your partner have spent a whole bunch of time wondering how your cats are going to react to the baby. Now, let's be honest, if a you're a cat person like us, then you have definitely seen those adorable videos of cats discovering that their owners are pregnant, and then those cats become clingy toward their pregnant humans, and after that, when the baby comes, the cats and the babies become best friends, and it's the all lovely and beautiful and the cutest thing in the world. 

But the reality is not always like that, and reality hit hard for the couple in this thread - before the baby even arrived into the world. The thought of the cat possibly being a danger to the baby led the woman toward making one of the most difficult decision… giving the cat up. Now, there could be scenarios where that painful decision is the right one to make, but it wasn't the right one here, and now the fiancé is wondering whether he did the right thing by reacting the way that he did to everything that happened.

‘You’re not getting a raise': Boss refuses to level employee's salary with other team members who are making $20,000 more than them

Fail Blog - Wed, 02/14/2024 - 06:00

In most companies, you need to fight tooth and nail to get a good raise. You're not going to receive a big fat check inside a fancy envelope engraved with your initials, accompanied by a note that congratulates you on a job well done. No, managers aren't that nice.

Instead, you're going to have to come up to them with a list of metrics (which they already have) that prove you are worth something. Then you'll need to ramble a bit about how much you appreciate your job, how amazing they are, and then slip in how you've noticed that other companies are offering double what you make for the same role.

It's worse if you find out your team members are making more than you are. Especially if they're doing the exact same job. That's what happened to OP… They found out that their coworkers were making 20k more than them! Check out how they handled it below. Then, here is a story about a woman who demanded her friends leave their toddler at home after booking a friend group vacation. The parents in question didn't have a sitter… What were they to do?
