Seal Cuts One While Looking Directly At Camera

This seal just kinda scoots up, looks you right in the eye, and lets one out. It's as if it's saying "what are you gonna do about it." To answer that question, what we're gonna do about it is laugh to ourselves like the giddy 5th graders that we all truly are.

Angry Karen Claims She Was Sold Faulty Machine, Tech Support Proves Otherwise

This would appear to be a case of Karen's son trying to sabotage his computer, so that he was able to get a new one. Unfortunately, Karen approached the situation with stubborn ignorance and some belligerence to wash the whole mess down. Check out some more juicy Karen drama with this chill teacher who foiled an anti-breakfast Karen.

Tumblr Thread: The Extremely Suspicious Not-Mob Guy

Tumblr kicks around concepts like nobody's business and this looks totally like a show we'd want to watch. And as it turns out, there actually is a hilarious story that's based on a similar concept. For more off-the-wall spinnings of the mind, here are some random funny Tumblr gems to fill those pockets.

1.

Text - urbanfantasyinspiration Follow Ilike the idea of a cop character who looks and acts like he's in the Mob. >He acts SUPER Italian >He always has some cousin that can help them out on a case (either as an informant or they can fix up a car or whatever) and they're all different people, but they're all named Tony >Whenever he's interrogating a suspect he always does borderline mob shit like "it sure would be a shame if something were to happen". >Hair and fashion sense are 10/10 >Slugger >Hi

2.

Text - urbanfantasyinspiration Follow Exactly. And he himself doesn't do anything illegal, he's a good cop, but he still has the same rhythms and mannerisms of a Mafia enforcer. Like, he only listens to Sinatra on stakeouts, he has connections out the wazoo in Little Italy, he's super intimidating and he postures constantly. He has regular dinners with his family, his dad is the patriarch who runs a / completely legitimate/ pizza joint. And the jokes always come from him saying and doing things

3.

Text - urbanfantasyinspiration Follow They bust some punk kid for something like vandalism but the kid is clearly just a good kid who made a mistake, and since the owner isn't pressing charges they let him off with a warning. Vinny gives him a card and puts a hand on his shoulder and goes "Go to this address, ask for Uncle Marco. Tell him Vinny sent you. He'll take care of ya." And his partner is like "did you just recruit him???" But then they go to that address and find out "Uncle Marco" runs

4.

Text - urbanfantasyinspiration Follow I feel I should stress that Vinny never pushes the metaphor. He doesn't act up to mess with people. As far as he's concerned he's just a normal dude. It genuinely doesn't occur to him that people think he's a crook. urbanfantasyinspiration Follow I also like the idea that his vocabulary is stuck in the 1930's. He still calls cars flivvers. He calls baseball Stickball for crying out loud. urbanfantasyinspiration Follow "Hey Vinny, what do you do with your fre

Awful Manager Gets Outed For Never Actually Working

Nepotism is the worst. This manager had the audacity to violate labor law, hire his mistress (a mistress that never showed up), and rarely be in the store himself. Fortunately, the employee that was suffering underneath the weight of all this laziness, nepotism, and toxicity was able to engineer a pro revenge that successfully spotlighted the manager's ongoing choice to not perform the very job that he was being paid to do. Check out some more revenge drama with this shady boss who lied about their coworkers, and got fired.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/sunnykl • 1y The Bad Grocery Place I've written before about the good grocery store where I worked in high school. We had a couple of bad customers and a lot of senile seniors, but it was well run with a great manager. The one I worked at for one summer in college was The Bad Place. It was 1994 in a chain grocery store with a truly awful manager who was straight out of business school. He was also the regional office director's son, so he was teflon. Anything that we

2.

Text - Awful paid no attention to people's time constraints. We had a bunch of teenagers there who were attending summer school. He didn't care. He scheduled however he wanted and left us to swap shifts among ourselves. I personally saw him tell one girl she'd have to miss school because he needed her on shift and she couldn't find coverage. Crazy illegal. He didn't care about legalities. Awful's belief was that if the computer would accept it, then it was fine. It was the early days of computer

3.

Text - Awful was very rarely, if ever, in the store his entire shift. He'd clock in, get the few really important things done, then leave. He'd come back in the middle of his shift to do the bank deposits, then be gone again until it was time to clock out. He assigned all his work to the latest fall guy assistant manager or other random employees. If he was the only manager on duty, he'd leave his badge for overrides on the desk in the office so we could grab it when needed to override register

4.

Text - I mentioned in a previous post how national was pretty obsessed with mystery shopper reports, and got them directly from the company that did that stuff. We'd get all kind of conflicting instructions because national's edicts based on those and our regional director's policies would differ. Always fun. What I didn't mention was mystery shoppers were trivial to spot. They'd go straight to the bakery to price out a special order cake, then not buy it, complain about the price or ask any of

5.

Text - My last week at this shit show before I headed back to college, I spotted a blatant mystery shopper complete with note pad. Awful had bugged out shortly after open, the mistress was probably busy banging him, the other assistant manager had been fired for the last colossal screw up, and the only other cashier on shift was at lunch. It was pretty dead as it was late morning, so no big deal. Except that I decided it was time for this shit show to get reported for what it was. When Mystery c

Text - Somewhere around this time, the other cashier (we'll call her Jenny) got back from her lunch break and I informed her that shit was about to get real. She might want to go home sick if she wanted some cover. Nah, Jenny giggled and wanted a front row seat. Besides, the lunch rush was coming. We had a construction area nearby and a lot of the guys came for the prepared foods for a cheap, hot lunch. We started to get the lunch rush and more of a crowd by the time Mystery made it up to my reg

7.

Text - Jenny caught on real fast and told me to just go get the badge from the office. Awful Firstname Lastname must be doing the money drop or something. I pointed out to Jenny that was against company policy. She rolled her eyes and told me that's what Awful Firstname Lastname had said to do. Now, where was that override badge? I headed up to the office and made a good show of looking for it. Called down to Jenny asking if she had it. Nope. Jenny abandoned the big order she was ringing up and

8.

Text - Jenny apologized to the mystery shopper, but she was going to have to get in Jenny's line now. I couldn't void the transaction or login to two registers at once, so I was going to help her pack it up and Jenny would get to Mystery as soon as she could. Now, this is somewhat bullshit. While true as stated, we all knew how to unplug the registers to get them to reset and log us out. It was a dumb hack, but it worked. Thing was, there was almost zero chance Awful or Mystery knew that. Myster

9.

Text - We apologized profusely to the customers, but explained we had no idea where Awful was. Offered to check in the back. Sent a bagger out to check the lot in case Awful was on a smoke break. No joy. As this fiasco rolled on, we had a lot of very unhappy customers on our hands (and the downright giddy Mystery who stayed to the bitter end). We were demanded to call a manager. We'd tried all Awful's known numbers. Who's above him? Oh, that's regional. We were not allowed to call them. Very str

10.

Text - Regional took about two hours to get somebody down to the store who could clear the registers. Nobody else in the store had permissions on that system. Awful still hadn't shown up. Regional Dude overrode the registers, but by then the damage was done. We'd missed the whole lunch rush. No hot food was sold. Our metrics for the day were going to be unbelievably shitty. Regional Dude was on the phone frantically trying to figure out how to cover this mess up for his boss (Awful's Father), an

11.

Text - A few weeks later, an audit team from national came down to investigate. The mystery shopper story hadn't lined up with the computer outage story, and something was obviously hinky. They dug into the books and found all the labor violations for minors working overtime and too early/late. Interviewed the employees and found out about the scheduling during school time problems. Manager absenteeism. No vacation being allowed. Also that the store was constantly short staffed (no shit; people

12.

Text - I don't know if they covered up all the labor violations or not (probably; that would have caused massive fines). I was too young to know to report them. However, Awful, his father and his mistress all got fired or resigned quietly. The store reportedly went back to being pretty functional after that. Jenny got a better job and left within the year. I never worked retail again. | tl;dr: Awful nepotism hire manager violates labor law, hires his mistress (who never even shows up), and is ra

Awkward "Forgot to Turn Their Mic Off" Stories

With so many classes going remote, it only makes sense that there would be a huge number of instances of students and teachers making some serious errors over video calls. There's students getting caught badmouthing their teachers, students getting extremely personal, and all sort of mishaps going on when people forget to turn off their mic.

Text - SirHasselblad 13.0k points · 18 hours ago One of my classmates was talking to someone off screen about how shitty the class is and how stupid our lecturer is. Her mic and camera were both on. She was rambling for about 30 seconds when the lecturer just said her name. She just looked over at her screen, leaned forward a tad, then her eyes went wide and she covered her mouth. She immediately left the meeting, haven't seen her in class since. This was 2 weeks ago.

Text - daytime_moon99 7.7k points · 21 hours ago Once my very adorable classmate sang "happy birthday" so cheerfully while our prof was discussing. She only noticed it when she came back to class and saw our reactions in the chat. It was her dog's birthday, she said then apologized for it. "oh shit" to "awww" real quick :')

(We made a discord server for the class)

Then I looked at my computer and realized I wasn't muted and then quickly said Oh sorry I accidentally unmuted myself and the teacher said no worries and I could hear her laugh a little. I wanted to curl up and just lie in a hole. Lol.

In my class, someone's mom came in and started yelling in Spanish. It was awkward bc at first the teacher thought they'd been trying to ask a question so she said "what" and for quiet for a minute while everyone just listened.

Now, instead of shrieking like a little girl, I kinda just look into the camera and say "ah, umm, good morning folks. Hey, uhh, professor dad? Bad news, mostly for them, your camera is working perfectly." Apparently, when he said he "disconnected," he meant the "share screen" would get disabled because

Shopping Cart Theory Determines State Of Person's Morals

This quick and enlightening shopping cart theory aims to determine whether or not a person is good or bad. It boils down to whether or not a person decides to make the "right" choice when they are aware that nobody else is looking. Seems fair enough. Sometimes, it's not about that good act of wholesome kindness that you pull off when you know you'll receive recognition and praise. Instead, it can be a more pure reflection of your morality, when you're out there doing the right things without any inflation of your ego.

1.

Shopping cart - : Anonymous (ID: DSfdBk9e The Shopping Cart Theory 05/08/20(Fri)09:52:50 No.256670690 The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. 1.16 MB PNG

2.

Text - To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for

3.

Text - not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

4.

Text - A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it. The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

Shady Boss Lies About Coworkers, Gets Fired

Good for them for taking the cleanliness of the environment seriously! It's a wonder that people that pull these kinds of scams think that they'll be able to continue in their shady ways. Fortunately, this boss was rightfully handled.

First up, the obligatory on mobile warning, English is not my first language etc. etc. I have been lurking around here fore quite some time, and wishing I had a good story for you, until suddenly I realized I do! This happened back in 2011/12 when I was the ripe old age of 19 years old. This is a long one, so do strap in.

Text - I got a part time job at a fast food place specializing in subs, not subway, but very similar, when I was 17. It was located in the towns mall, and was fairly busy. It's a national chain where I'm from. When I started there the owner at the time was really nice, and she started that branch in my town. She was very strict on following all the cleaning requirements and took real pride in her shop. The way it was set up financially was that the franchise taker basically had to work from open

Text - A year or so after I started, the owner decided she would move to a different part of the country and sell her branch and have someone else take over. That lucky individual was my co-worker who was three years older than me. (From now on Bosslady) She had worked there since it opened and was the natural choice to move up the ladder. Because she didn't have the money to pay for the share in the franchise, about $5k, and nobody else was willing to pay that and have to work their ass off for

Text - Now, Bosslady had no idea how to run a mile, much less a business, and small things started happening quite soon after she took over. I would normally work there after school, by myself, but she would often hang around the mall when she had finished work.

Text - Every night we would count the register, leave $100 dollars in change and small bills for the next day, and deposit the rest in a safe at the mall. I'm not entirely sure, because it's been a long time, but I do believe Bosslady would tell us to take the difference out of the $100 for the register, somehow believing the money would magically show up the next day.

Text - Then one lovely Tuesday while I was at school, one of the other part timers asked me to cover her shift, to which I said I wasn't able to because not only did I have back-to-back dance classes I also had a paper to write for school. Later that night I get a text from the girl saying "if you were hung over you could have just said so, you don't have to lie.." and I'm like "excuse me? I don't drink on school nights, and there's no way I would have had the time to do so last night with dance

Text - Que the revenge: One day out of the blue, during summer, Bosslady declared she was going to go on a last minute, two week vacation to the states, and told me to take care of the shop while she was gone. I said fine, but would like more notice next time. I also asked her how she paid for it, considering she wasn't able to take out any salary from the shop, and she just said "oh, I had some savings". I just thought "Hmm, that's weird considering you actually don't make money", but didn't sa

Text - HQguy: “No, she did not indulge that information. But maybe you can help me. Do you know what happened to all the cash deposits from the past few months?" Me: "Yeah, they're in one of the cabinets here. Bosslady told us not to deposit them, she even yelled at me when I was about to, because I felt really uncomfortable knowing we had what must have been more than $15k lying around in the shop, and gave me an excuse about having to look them over" HQguy: “Are you serious?!" Me: "Sure am. Wh

Text - Me: "Sure, no problem. I will look over all the cash bags to see how much there actually is and make sure they're all there and deposit them ASAP" and we hung up. I called the old owner and told her what was up, and she sounded really surprised and was there within ten minutes. Together we quickly looked over all the cash, but didn't count it. They where in these little pouches that had a form on the front where you filled in how many of each bill and coin was in it, so we figured the rig

Text - The old owner started asking me if we kept up with the cleaning requirements, and I answered truthfully that Bosslady never told us to do any of the time consuming stuff, like the ice-cube machine, saying that we would have to do that after closing and she didn't have the money to pay us for the extra hours, so she said would do it on the weekends herself. Old owner just shrugged and told me she had to leave. Since I was all alone in the shop and it was fairly quiet, I started looking aro

12.

Text - I have never cleaned that much in my life. I scrubbed everything. I pulled all the refrigerators out and scrubbed thoroughly behind everything. What took the longest was the ice cube machine. I wasn't done until 11 pm that night. Being the petty bitch I am, and being pissed Bosslady went on vacation with the shop in the state it was, I took pictures of everything before I started cleaning and sent them all to the food safety agency, telling them that nothing had been cleaned for over a ye

13.

Text - The next day I called the old owner and all the part timers asking them to meet at my place saying we needed a staff meeting without Bosslady and now was the chance. They all came and we started talking, telling me what Bosslady had done when they were working together and other things they had observed her doing. I took notes, and later that night I wrote a seven(!!) page document listing all the things we knew she did wrong, and how we suspected she was stealing money from the shop etc.

14.

Text - HQguy called me a few days later thanking me for notifying him about all the things she was doing, and told me that when the cash was registered the amount listed on the form and the amount in the pouches wasn't the same, and asked me if I knew where it had gone. A light went off, and I realized the "savings" Bosslady had used to pay for her trip was actually money she had taken from the pouches, and that's why she wouldn't let us seal them. I told him as much and he said he would dig a l

Text - Over the next few days I was seething with excitement to find out what happened. When she came back she tried to play it cool and said "I've decided to quit. I feel like doing something different, so l'm just working until the end of the month, and then I'm leaving", and I just acted sorry and oblivious. I knew the old owner was kept in the loop by HQ, and she told me what really happened. Bosslady had met with HQ who had questioned her about the missing money and lack of cleaning etc. (t

16.

Text - I kept working there for a few more months, but quit because i found a job that paid more. Word spread about what Bosslady had done, so she really struggled to find a new job to pay what she owed, since no one trusted her. She eventually did, but had to pay them back for several years later. We did not keep in touch. Guess she shouldn't have lied about me to my coworkers. And I'm all out of breath

17.

Text - TL;DR: shady boss lies to my coworkers about me being too hungover to cover their shifts, I tell HQ about all the shady stuff she's doing and she loses her job and has to pay them back the money she stole for several years, and lost her good reputation. 3.0k 126 1 Share

Boss Plays Hardball With Customers Who Won't Pay Boat Deposit

When it comes to entitled and mistaken customers, there can be a lot that gets in the way of everyone getting what they want. In this case, it was the few customers who made nuisance (about a deposit they were told in advance) that got them put directly down a chute of harsh consequences.

1.

Text - Posted by u/MeesterPepper 5 hours ago You want to cancel your reservation? Okay! oc M About a decade ago when I was fresh out of high school, I got a summer job working at a lakeside boat rental/bait & tackle shop. My boss, Joe (not his real name) inherited the shop from his father and took a massive amount of pride in keeping the family business going. Still, he wasn't one to give into bullshit, and clearly took it personally when a customer complained about anything to do with the shop

3.

Text - You see, dear reader, of the three marinas on the lake, we were the only ones that rented out boats - the other two only rented out space for boats to dock. They'd never ask about our competitors, so Joe never had any reason to inform them. Without fail, within the hour the customer would be back, having realized that they couldn't get a boat elsewhere. Usually at this point business would be picking up, meaning I'd be (loudly) answering questions about boat rentals for other guests, and

4.

Text - Joe would fake concern and tell them that unfortunately, all the boats have been reserved for weeks, so we're usually unable to accommodate walk-in rental requests. As luck would have it, we had a cancelation earlier today! Since they don't have a reservation, however, we have to charge the summer holiday pricing! Oh, and, just FYI, we require a completely refundable, $100 security deposit for all rentals. I hope that's alright with you! Edit: Clarifying, because it keeps coming up in com

Things That Terrified People As Kids

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various things that petrified people as children. Some kids enter the world scared of everything. If they get lucky, they outgrow those fears and swap them out for adulting concerns like financial stress and health issues. Fun stuff.

Twitter Thread: The Brain's Response To Long Term Stress

Positive psychologist, Alexis Rockley, provides a quick rundown on the true state of disorientation that our brains are in right now due to this historically difficult time.

1.

Text - Alexis Rockley @alexisrockley Let me be clear (a thread): Those "all over the place" feelings you've been having? They are symptoms of stress, NOT personal failures of yours.

2.

Text - Do you feel FLAKEY + INCONSISTENT? That's b/c your brain doesn't know what news to brace for next, or what next month will hold.

3.

Text - Replying to @alexisrockley TIRED EASILY? That's because your brain is burning your energy 10x faster than usual. CAN'T SEEM TO FOCUS? That's b/c your brain has temporarily shut down some functionality in your prefrontal cortex-the part that juggles complex tasks + planning- due to the stress response.

4.

Text - Alexis Rockley @alexisrock.. · 3d Feeling CREATIVELY BLOCKED? That's because your brain has temporarily diverted all its creativity (aka ability to solve novel problems) to "how do I avoid dying?" while in a narrowed, slow burn, fight-or-flight state.

5.

Text - Alexis Rockley @alexisrock... ·3d v SUDDENLY DON'T GIVE AF about future-based goals, projects, or dreams like you used to? That's because your brain knows being short-sighted is a safer way to cope right now.

6.

Text - Alexis Rockley @alexisrock... ·3d v Your plans, creativity, energy, focus + motivation are on a YO-YO right now, b/c your brain believes you need to be EXTREMELY ADAPTIVE. You will not be on this rollercoaster forever. Be patient with your brain. Sincerely, a positive psychology-certified coach + fellow human
