Students Mess With Teacher's Plants, Teacher Takes Pro Revenge and more...

This teacher/dad used his apparent superpower of not being affected by poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac to teach some rascal students a valuable lesson in not messing with people's plants. Just picturing their faces when they learned about the stunt that dad had pulled is enough to put a smile on the face. Outside of that glorious lesson, this dad is well on his way to being Poison Ivy's most feared enemy.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/Zeldaspellfactory • 1y Just Desserts for Destroying Teachers' Plants This happened to my father, not me. I find it rather funny and definitely ProRevenge. My father was a teacher. He taught several subjects during his career, and spent the last fifteen years teaching science. He spent most of his career teaching the more difficult students. One year the teachers were all upset because students kept killing their plants by ripping off the leaves.

2.

Text - My dad wasn't really fond of plants. Even though he didn't like having a lot of plants around the house, he started thinking of ways to get the kids to stop killing the other teachers' plants. Finally he came up with a way to teach the kids not to mess with plants. A few days later, he put 3 potted plants by the window in his classroom. He had a sign by the plants warning kids not to touch the plants because they were dangerous. He told every class that they were to leave the plants alone

3.

Text - He made sure to check the plants near the end of every class. 2 days after putting the plants out, he noticed that a lot of the leaves were missing from one plant. He had all the students line up against a wall and he checked all of the desks for leaves. He didn't find any of them. The next day, two students come in before school with their parents. They want to know what kind of plants he had. They had horrible rashes all over their hands and groin area. Their parents were quite upset at

4.

Text - My father told the parents that every class was warned to not ever touch the plants. He showed them where the sign was and let them see the very clear warning. Then he asked the boys how they got rashes in that area? The boys had to tell their parents that they ripped leaves off of the plants of every teacher they had, and that they thought the sign was just to keep kids away from the plants. When the whole class was lined up so that everything could be searched to find out who destroyed

5.

Text - The boys missed several days of school until the rash cleared up. My father then told each class that the plants were poison ivy. It taught the entire class not to mess with other people's plants. You never know what might happen. It stopped the plant destruction for that year. Of course the administration made a rule that you could not have dangerous plants in the classroom. No one thought to make a rule about this because most people do not plant poison ivy in pots and take them to scho

Dumb and Clever Puns to Love and Hate

Puns are one of those things that even though you might hate, you can't really avoid. Try as you might to avoid them and yell at the people who bring them into your life, but someone will always come back with a sackful of puns to spill all over your life. They're both incredibly clever and horribly dumb at the same time.

Twitter Thread: Student Finds Life Changing Teacher On Twitter

Positive teachers that genuinely care about the well being of their students, as well as cultivating in them a legitimate passion for learning, are some of the most cherished human beings on the planet. As can be expected, a fair number of kids resist the idea of school, hitting the books, and keeping up with all that homework. Put the right teacher in front of them that can get them excited about the whole academic process, and you might actually end up with more stories like this wholesome gem from Raifa Rafiq.

Text - Raifa Rafiq @RaifaRafiq OMFG! Guys. There was literally a teacher at school who I loved so dearly (English teacher - she left when I was in year 10) and I don't even know why but randomly decided to do internet stalkies because l've always wanted to find her and thank her because gosh l love her.

2.

Text - Raifa Rafiq @RaifaRafiq Anyways, successfully found her twitter (didn't know her first name until I remembered a teacher calling her Jenny one day -I searched my memory hard). It's been 10 years and she looks so different and l've only just confirmed it's her because she went to Clares College...

3.

Text - Raifa Rafiq @RaifaRafiq And I was obsessed with Clares College Cambridge because of her. And I don't know why but I got teary seeing her picture and so proud of her she's a head teacher - I want to message her like hey I love you, and you changed the course of my life - but don't want to sound stupid.

Text - Raifa Rafiq @RaifaRafiq Also if she doesn't remember be l'll be mad (LOL - I like to think I made her teaching experience brilliant too). Omg. I'm just going to reach out and dm her. wish me luck

Ways People Trolled Their Bosses Without Breaking Rules

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various ways that people managed to troll their bosses without actually breaking the rules. You've got to hand it to anyone that puts in the time and effort to troll someone, and manages to pull that trolling off while still playing things by the book.

Text - InsanelnTheManBrain • 8y This story is about my buddy's father, a former university prof. At one time, the university instituted a dress code forcing professors to wear ties. In protest, he bought the most lewd, ridiculous and outrageous ties he could find. Fish ties, dick ties, piano keyboard ties. He became something of a hero to his students who regularly bought him the most offending or off- colour ties they came across. The university ended up rescinding the dress code. He passed awa

It was always something. But they couldn't say anything about him wearing sunglasses. So his little rebellion was he would wear the most outrageous sunglasses he could think of. Ones shaped like giant red lips, guitars with the stems sticking up, purp

My command felt that I "didn't deserve a bunch of time off for a surgery" so they said they would approve it but none of the convalescent leave. They refused to sign ANY paperwork. First thing I did was hit them with the regulation stating that they were required to respond to all requests within a certain amount of time (3 days I think). They responded with a "no". So then I had Navy leg

When I confronted my boss about it, he told me he'd blackball me if I said anything. So I went to the local television station, tipped them off and they uncovered the story. When they won their awards, my name was added to the list of reporters. I still can't get a job as a journalist, but damn if it didn't feel good. 1.

So I read the HR Handbook and found out as long as I don't specifically name the company, I can't be fired for it. So, about a month later, I realize I can't take this shit anymore and post on facebook how terrible my job is,

Being the witty douchebag I am, I used a shit ton of gel to slick up my hair and do obnoxious things with it. It was all raised, so it never crossed my eyebrows or collar. I got away with it for 2 months, until the principal changed the rules! All just for me :D 580 ...

Radical Retorts From Clever Wordsmiths

We love us some clever comebacks from the online world's spicy silver tongues. As long as there's a comments section or people insist on clogging up social media feeds with mindless tweets and statuses that could've used a second set of eyes, and a dash of logic, we'll have other folks waiting eagerly nearby, ready to light them up in the comments section.

Boss' Self-Importance Results In His Own Undoing

We love a good old fairytale ending. A fairytale ending is exactly what we could call a scenario involving this self-important boss ending up at Domino's, where he got trolled with an endless procession of "Meat Fest" pizza orders.

So I saw a post that said "Do you know who l am"? and it triggered a memory of a boss we had about ten years ago. Background. I worked in an office for a large supermarket in the UK. we had a Team leader who was a dick, (he'll be known as dick from here on) never in the wrong always had the what I say goes attitude, also he would ask really inappropriate questions if you had been ill. Real pro

Text - One day we had an issue with pricing in our stores meat was going through the till at twice the normal price. No biggie these things happen from time to time. In our stores we have a policy if we overcharge you, you get double the overcharge back. So say a leg of lamb was 28 pounds and you got charged double 56 pounds. You'd get the 56 as double the overcharge and you got to keep the product. Now Dick manager knowing this, went shopping after work. He put every meat he could think of in h

Text - She saw him and made some excuses and spoke to her manager. She basically said to the manager " this guys pulling a fast one". He agreed. The manager:I understand you have been overcharged on some meat? Dick: Yes and I want the refund on double the difference!

4.

Text - manager: did the lady behind the till tell you about the overcharge before the items start scanning?. Dick: yes she did and I was told to come here. manager: if you were told before the items were scanned that we had this fault all we can do is give you back what you have been overcharged (now 90% of people get double the difference we only pull out this policy if someone has clearly done it to scam cash, and we're totally legally allowed to do this).

Text - Dick: this is ridiculous I know the policy I manage the stores policy's throughout the uk!. Manager: excuse me but how do YOU manage the policy's. (from what I'm told this was said in a condescending way to get a rise out of dick, it worked) Dick: I work in head office and I'm not some little skivvy either.

Text - Dick: yeah here it is (looking very smug) Manager: I've just got to go to petty cash and sort this for you Dick: no problem. The manager proceeded to phone us low and behold it was his old team that picked up the call. The first thing he asked was did we have a manager there by Dicks name and could he speak to Dicks boss. Dicks boss took the call and said to the manager "can you ask dick to come in to your office I need to talk to him"? He was fired on the spot and told he would not get a

Impatient Scammer Gets Scammed

Tumblr Thread Breaks Down Reasonable Bed Positions

For most human beings the placement of their beds boils down to using the space they have in the most efficient, and comfortable way possible. This Tumblr thread however makes a point of how people's bed placement decisions are actually inspired by fear. That being said, whatever Thomas Jefferson was doing with his bed is actually creepy.

Consultant Will Not Be Told What To Wear, Including PPE

Upon the suggestion for wearing something more casual at a job that included touring industrial settings and butchers, this consultant made it incredibly clear that they would not be told what to wear. It came to a bit of a halt upon the realization that some places have safety standards. For another work story, here's a CEO that didn't know what their departments did, resulting in a Karen catastrophe.

1.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/DanielCade 5 days ago Don't you ever tell me what to wear oc L Some years ago the organisation I work for brought in a consultant to make us more efficient and reduce waste. She was working across a number of teams including the team I worked for. For our team most of our work is office based (about 75%) but we often work in retail environments and occasionally in industrial settings. The other teams that the consultant was working alongside all seemed

2.

Text - I was introduced to the consultant and was told she'd be accompanying me on a job. She seemed quite pleasant and was very smartly dressed. I talked her through the booking process and explained the work we would be doing. I suggested that she may want to wear casual clothing rather than business attire. She got extremely angry and said "don't you ever tell me what to wear" and told me that it was inappropriate to "tell" a woman what to wear. She was unwilling to listen to my justification

3.

Text - About a month later again I was told that the consultant would accompany me on a job, this time to an industrial site where I would be testing a piece of equipment. The site would draw steel from large coils and turn it into bar. Whilst not the dirtiest place we go to its a long way from being clean. I felt this was the perfect opportunity for some malicious compliance. I emailed manager and asked if I could advise on appropriate clothing and he emailed back saying that both the consultan

4.

Text - The site was about an hour from our office and I phoned as I was leaving to let them know we were on our way (thankfully in seperate cars). They normally asked for a call so they could stop production just before we arrived to avoid downtime. As we arrived we were met by the health and safety co-ordinator for the site who did his intro. I produced my safety passport card which showed I was competent in health and safety matters. I introduced the consultant and explained she would be assis

5.

Text - Once away from the consultant I explained that if I had to log the results myself it would slow the process down. He offered me one of his staff to do it. I then told him the story of what had previously happened. He thought it was hilarious what I'd done and wanted to play along. He asked for the details of a senior manager and while I was testing the equipment phoned to complain. He said it was unfair that he was supplying staff to assist me when he was paying for the job to be done. Wh

6.

Text - When I got back to the office I was pulled into a meeting with our Director, my manager and lots of other higher ups and was asked to explain myself. The Director let me fully explain and thought it was ridiculous that I was blamed for the first incident. I also explained that I had email confirmation that I wasn't to speak to her regarding clothing. He said he was disappointed thatI hadn't at least emailed regarding the need for safety shoes or raised it with a manager as a safety concer

Text - sueelleker 3.5k points · 5 days ago I'd hoped that she'd done the job and got absolutely filthy. 1.3k points · 5 days ago Sadly the outcome wasn't as satisfying as that. DanielCade

8.

Text - Anxiety-Aficionado 1.1k points · 5 days ago Being a woman in a corporate role with a similar position as the consultant you described, I find it absolutely ridiculous that she made the initial complaint. Proper clothing and PPE is something we address with both male and females when going to a job site; it's never sexualized, it's just a matter of safety and no one has ever raised a question otherwise. What a total Karen. Glad her contract was cut!

Boss Won't Approve OT, Employee Works Exactly 40 Hours

Sometimes, the best course of action when it feels like the walls are closing in, and you're faced with a boss that insists on being a lousy human being, is to play out some good old malicious compliance. In this case, it sounds like it ended up working out for the employee. Even though they were fired, they basically got that paid vacation before they were able to start up with their new gig.

Check out some more juicy malicious compliance with this boss who orchestrated their own downfall.

1.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance Join u/Mycatsitslikehesppl • 1d Boss won't approve OT so I work EXACTLY 40 hrs/week until I tried to quit M When I was in my 20's, I worked at a tiny coffee/wine bar establishment. It sold coffee in the mornings and had a wine/beer license for the evening crowd. Its selling point was that it had food pairings for all of its drinks, both coffee and alcohol. It was a fairly new business, only a year old. It had a bare bones staff and the owner herself tended bar in the

2.

Text - free. Owner was a 40-something single lady with no food service background or experience. She very proudly stated that she invented every recipe on the menu, but her inexperience was obvious. For example, her cupcake icing was 50% Crisco, stuff like that. She came from the corporate world and had turned her hobby into a business as a middle finger to her old bosses. She was always complaining: about being single, about money troubles, about how hard the work was, about her life in general

3.

Text - Owner hated paying overtime, and got on my case any week I had any OT, even if it was 15 minutes. T had been in kitchens since I was 15, so by now I was a seasoned chef who could easily do 12 hours without even looking at the clock. This was the first place I had worked at where I had such an inexperienced boss and wasn't expected to do 60+ hrs/week. I finally had enough of her nitpicking and here's where the MC kicks in. I started noting the exact time I clocked in and, on a big piece of

4.

Text - someone ordered food after I left, she either had to make it herself or tell them the kitchen was closed, which defeated the purpose of having food pairings in the first place. She was the one who made the schedules, so it's not like I made things more difficult for her on purpose. Her lack of experience led to her being severely understaffed at crucial times and, by that point, I didn't care enough to enlighten her. She wouldn't pay us OT but she also wouldn't hire more people, so stuff

5.

Text - I decided to take the two weeks as a stay-cation of sorts. At a friend's suggestion, I applied for Unemployment since I was technically fired, and actually got benefits for one week before starting my new job, so it was like a paid vacation, which is unheard of in the food world. Last I heard, the place closed after 10 years because she wasn't making money and she went back to the corporate world. She did get married, so yay for that. I wish her nothing but the best. She wasn't a bad pers

Farmers That Were Completely Perplexed By Their Animals

Someone on AskReddit got an entertaining thread going about the times that farmers were left utterly puzzled by strange stunts that their animals pulled.

Veteran Mechanic Messes With The Wrong Person

Man, oh, man, using one's status to take advantage of others is about as low as one can go. There are bad apples in every bunch though. Fortunately, justice was delivered to this mechanic.

A couple weeks into my school it died, at the gate, next to the sentry. After an initial freak out that I was a suicide bomber

My dad's cousin says it's a common issue on Spirits from this time and recommends I get it fixed her

Uncomfortable and Annoying Things to Not Like

Most people have a certain disdain for things that are imperfect, unaligned, untidy, or made in such a way that they bring only confusion. For some it's a "so what it's not perfect" situation and for others it can be hair-pullingly maddening. Here are some annoying and off-center imperfections to keep the disdain train slightly off its tracks.

Tumblr Thread: Thomas The Pain Engine

Those poor trains. As it turns out, the world of Thomas the Tank Engine was much darker than it might've appeared at surface level. Yes, we're talking a dark dystopian zombie train apocalypse kind of setting. Poor Smudger legit got turned into a generator after refusing to show off. If that isn't some kind of twisted way to scare kids into following the rules for fear of grave punishments, I don't know what it is. Whole lot of yikes, indeed.

1.

Text - frog-and-toad-are-friends My favorite thing about Thomas the Tank Engine is that it canonically takes place in a train post-apocalypse where the Island of Sodor is the only safe zone in a totalitarian dystopia in which steam trains are routinely killed and their body parts are sold or cannibalized for repair If you think I'm kidding you need to read the original books leonfroid could you please direct me to a source? i would feel much better if this was validated.

2.

Text - frog-and-toad-are-friends It took me so long to find this quote online but I did it because it's so much darker than one might expect from Thomas the Tank Engine: ".Engines on the Other Railway aren't safe now. Their controllers are cruel. They don't like engines any more. They put them on cold damp sidings, and then," Percy nearly sobbed, "they.they c-c-cut them up." The Bluebells of England." Stepney the Bluebell Engine. Rev. Awdry, Wilbert. London: Egmont Publishing, 1963.

Text - shulamithbond On the show, didn't they also hook up one engine to a generator, so he'd never move again? That was literally one of the lines, I think. It's on some other post on here. It was chilling. frog-and-toad-are-friends Yes! This also happened in the books, to an engine referred to only as "No. 2', but the television series applied the same scenario to an invented character named "Smudger", in the episode "Granpuff".

Text - "Smudger," said Duke. "Was a show-off. He rode roughly and often came off the rails, I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice." "Listen, Dukie" he snared. "Who worries about a few spills?" "We do here! I said, but Smudger just laughed." "Hahaha!" "Until one day, Manager said he was going to make him useful at last. Smudger stopped laughing then!" "W-w-why? What did he do?!" "He turned him into a generator. He's still there behind our shed. He'll never move again."

Text - deducecanoe This is so fucked up unclewhisky No, listen. Okay, so we see Railway Management doing all this shit, right, but supposedly it's so much worse in the Other Railways? I mean, sure, you might get turned into a generator or bricked into a tunnel for not doing as you're told, but at least you're not cut up and sold for parts, right? It's not so bad on the island of Sodor, right? Or maybe that's just what Railway Management wants the engines to think.

Text - Maybe the island of Sodor is the real totalitarian regime, and the engine citizens (slaves) are fed propaganda, illustrated in hellish grays and sulfuric yellows, about how bad it is everywhere else, at all the Other Railways. You are lucky to be an engine of Sodor. Railway Management cares about you. Trust Railway Management. Stay on Your Track. It Could Be So Much Worse. coralinethepaganangel Wtf the fuck is this train based 1984 bullshit Source: frog-and-toad-are-friends 320,440 notes
