UPS Delivery Guy Vs. Extra Icy Driveway

 

Sometimes, you show up for a day on the job and you're expected to deliver a package in the middle of the freezing cold, and you've just gotta let that package roll. It's for the well being of yourself and the package when it comes down to it.

Coworker Tosses Package In Bin, Unknowingly Triggers Life Alert

Let this be a lesson to all that we need to be ever mindful of what we're throwing away. This coworker casually tossed away a seemingly innocent package, and went on to ignite a full on life emergency alert. Well, you live and learn. 

1.

Text - r/tifu + Join u/Dr-Wankenstein • 16h TIFU by tossing a package M So this happened last week, you know in the midst of all the Christmas chaos. I work for one of those delivery companies that's rather well known world wide. I should also point out that It was my coworkers fault and not mine. Anyway I had just finished unloading my truck and was depositing my "ground packages" into it's proper bin and taking care of my paper work when there's a commotion coming from the front of the station

2.

Text - In comes marching the paramedics and fire department looking for an injured man with the name (for anonymity we will call him "Jon Snow." I know not very original or cool anymore, but with my newfound time l've invested in audiobooks. I'm already on book 4. ) Anyway I tell them "oh hang on, there's no injury I know of. Let me go ask my station supervisor." (I know good lil worker bee me. But seeing as l've been back at the station for a total of 5 minutes, I don't know wtf is going on) So

3.

Text - Jim " What? No, there's been no accident here. Well the shop just closed up, let's make sure there's no one in the customer area." So he leads the paramedics around the station looking for Mr. Snow. Jim proceeds to come back into the loading dock as we are in the middle of our evening sort and have 10 or so minutes to get the truck out to the ramp. "Well there's no Mr. Snow here." That's when another coworker chimes in and says "Oh you're looking for Mr. Jon Snow? I had a package for him

4.

Text - It's a fricken life alert that was pressed, triggered or sounded when it was tossed into the bin. Paramedics "huh well, first time for everything I suppose. Glad no one's hurt and my supervisor is not going to believe this story. And that my friends is why you shouldn't throw packages . Tldr: my coworker threw a package in a bin in the midst of the Christmas chaos, unknowingly triggered a life alert summoning the paramedics and fire department. 333 25 ↑, Share

Guy Buys $1800 Bike From Thief, Returns To Owner

Every now and again we come across those moments when our faith in humanity is not disintegrated, but actually, beautifully restored. In this case, we have a guy who ended up buying a bike from a bike thief (the worst), and ultimately was able to return said stolen bike to the owner. Now that's just a win for humanity.

Text - Ste Burke @SteBurke44 Has anyone had their bike stolen? Just bought this for £80 and it's got a bike lock on it. Apparently it's from the Crosby area. Bought it so I can get it to back to the right owner. I know it's a £1350 bike and id be heartbroken if it was me. Give us a shout

Kid Infiltrates Walmart By Wearing Neon Vest

Anyone who has worked anywhere knows that you could walk into just about any business or institution carrying a ladder, holding a clipboard, wearing hard hat or hi vis jacket and not be questioned. It's not necessarily a good idea to impersonate staff, and it's probably some version of illegal. But as this kid attests, it can be done. For a while at least. For some rule bending, here are some loopholes people were able to exploit for years. For more Walmart junk, here are some of the weirdest things Walmart employees witnessed.

1.

Text - Posted by u/GreenKeel 16 hours ago 14 2 O 9 L@17 3 11 TIFU by getting a lifetime ban from Walmart. My friend and I are both in high school, and we've been hanging out a lot over winter break. Today we were especially bored, and I suggested going to Walmart to look around. After a little while, we got bored of that too. Then an idea hit us. In the back of my car, I have 2 neon yellow vests. They seemed to match the style of vest that the employees in the parking lot were wearing, so natura

2.

Text - At first we went unnoticed, and mostly just walked around the store. At one point, an older woman employee asked us if we would help her move some TVs on a cart for her. We agreed, and moved the TVs from the return section to the stocking shelves in the employee-only area in the back. As we walked in, the store's manager (I think) helped us stock the TVs, at which point he noticed he had never seen either of us. Thinking quickly, we introduced ourselves as new employees and shook his hand

3.

Text - About ten minutes later, we entered the stocking area once again. This time, a younger woman immediately recognized that she we don't work for Walmart. She told us we need to leave immediately, and walked us straight to the exit. As I was leaving the store, a security employee ran up behind me and said something along the lines of: "You think you're funny? We got your pictures right here. Next time you come back to this store, I'll have you arrested."

4.

Text - From there, I just got in my car and drove home. In a funny twist of events, my mom told me that I have an eye doctor's appointment at the Walmart Vision Center next week. I plan on faking illness to get out of it, so that she never finds out. TLDR : Friend and I put on yellow vests and posed as Walmart employees. We did free labor before receiving a lifetime ban from the store. I have an eye doctor's appointment at this Walmart next week, and my mom doesn't know about this.

The WM loss prevention folks will never notice you. Hell, they didn't notice that two strangers wearing yellow vests were running around stocking shelves. By next week they will have forgotten you as long as you give them no reason to pay attention to you. BeeEyeEngiOh 583 points · 12 hours ago 32 8 O Live life on th

Technically Accurate Moments That Aren't Incorrect

In this confusing and unclear world of ours, there are generally more opportunities for us to be technically correct about something than actually factually accurate. That would involve learning. Who wants that when you could just scoop some of that good old wit out of your brain cavity and call it technically accurate and not totally wrong.

Street Smarts Tips to Stay Safe Out There

All in all, a lot of this is common sense. Head on a swivel, don't talk to overly friendly strangers at 3 am, and don't walk around with hundred dollar bills poking out of your back pocket. It's sort of surprising how many people don't think about this stuff. For some flirtation with the law, here are things people later found out was illegal.

Quick Tumblr Thread On Wolverine Always Showing Up

This quick and hilariously accurate Tumblr thread is dedicated to the fact that Wolverine always shows up when the X-Men need him, when they don't, and when it just plain old makes zero sense for the dude to be around flashing his extra long nails (or Adamantium) when no one asked for it.

Man Improves Company Efficiency, Management Disbands It, Business Takes A Hit

Every now and again you come across a company that clearly doesn't deserve the employee that they have under their belt. This is a clear, glaring, painfully obvious example of such a situation. Let's just say that the company in question certainly doesn't seem to enjoy the aftermath that they very well brought on themselves.

2.

Text - thank you u/redditisntreallyfe for the summary I'm going to use it if you don't mind. Story I worked for a large consumer electronics retailer for many years as technical support. I was also in charge of all of the internal devices and computers employees used at my location. Not the computers that were on demo for customers to use (comes in to play later) The retail stores offered technical support for computers and mobile devices. Now for technical support there were two laptops that I

3.

Text - One such useful tool is called RecBoot. This application was Freeware (I checked the license) and not an internal tool. Back in the days when iDevices had a physical home button, to put the device in recovery mode, the home and power button would need to be pressed. RecBoot allowed a connected device to be put in recovery mode by clicking the recovery mode button. Easy and simple. A lot of devices had this home button stop working. When you were able to access the device, assistive touch

4.

Text - This was brought up to management. Their solution, well there are tons of demo computers, connect the devices and do restores from them. There ya go, bob's your uncle. These demo computers were loaded with a demo image and configured that any changes made would be reverted when the computer was restarted, also the admin password was a guarded secret (I had the password but was definitely not allowed to share it). To run RecBoot after it had been downloaded from the internet required the a

5.

Text - So to do a restore each demo computer would have to download the restore image (many GB of download) and it would take 20+ minutes just to download one, not even complete a restore. Each device model would need a specific restore image. You can imagine this was not ideal but to management "hey, it works, problem solved" What I started doing was I would unfreeze a few computers, transfer all of the needed restore images on to them from a local server and freeze them again. I would also tra

6.

Text - Everyone seemed to think it was a great idea and it really helped. It was a lot of upkeep. Every time a new software update was released I would have to unfreeze, transfer and then refreeze the computers. If a new demo image was installed on the computers I would have to redo it as well. It would take a few hours to get done. I was happy to do it, it saved a lot of time in the end and we were able to offer better service to customers. Well, the person in charge of the demo computers did n

7.

Text - I came up with a solution, with the server already running I would share the logins with the the technical support team. I could grant admin access on the server, they could run the tools needed (more specifically RecBoot) and should a restore image be needed they could transfer it locally over the network to the demo computer they were using, much faster. All was well until we got a new lead technician. Jeb. Now unlike other stories Jeb was not an external hire but a technician who had b

8.

Text - During a physical inventory of the store it was noted that my server was not a managed internal server nor was it a demo unit for customers. As such it needed to be decommissioned and the hardware returned to the warehouse. Jeb brings this to my attention as I am the one who takes care of internal devices. He asks that I make it gone by the end of the next day. I pointed out that I had followed the guidelines and that he knew full well how useful this was. I brought up that it would impac

Text - He wouldn't have it. He cited that any computer on the network needed to be managed and my server was no longer approved. He also let me know that the two laptops that were being used by the technicians were going to have an image installed on them and now be managed units. I tried to argue (at least for my server) and he threatened to write me up. Alright, I'll let you dig your own grave. He also sent out an email to the whole technical support team pretty much forbidding the use of any

Text - Without my server and now the two laptops being managed no one had an admin password (except me and the IT team who was remote and tickets were usually only responded to in 24-48 hours) but being managed no unapproved software could be installed anyways. Cue the next night (first day without the server) when I get a call from Jeb in a panic, asking how he could get RecBoot working and he really needed it. I had the pleasure of telling him that the server was gone and no unapproved softwar

Text - Turns out a customer started throwing a fit. Not only one but multiple people over the course of the day and each time it was escalated to him to deal with. Each time having my server would have put a swift end to the problem.

Text - This particular customer had an iPhone that was about a year and a half (only 1 year of warranty) and the home button stopped working. They had been in previously and were given the options of the virtual home button (free), paying for a replacement phone (a few hundred dollars) or buying a brand new phone. Repairing the home button was not a repair offered. They had opted for the free option. This time the customers kid had played with the phone, entered the passcode wrong and the phone

Text - Of course the customer doesn't have iCloud set up or a recent backup. So no remote wipe and no way of backing up the info. To top it off they would have to spend hundreds of dollars for a replacement phone or buy a brand new one. Having had the phone less than two years their phone contract was not up for renewal with their cell phone provider. Needless to say the customer was pissed. After that day customer satisfaction and wait times tanked. He had to deal with a lot more escalations. H

Ex Buys Himself Gift As Gift To Girlfriend, Petty Revenge Ensues

Homie had this one coming. What possesses a dude with this kind of inconsiderate audacity where he honestly goes out and buys himself a gift, gives said "gift" to his girlfriend, and the whole time meant for it to be a gift back to himself? Clearly, this relationship was going nowhere real fast. Fortunately, his girlfriend happened upon some sweet extra money, and was able to throw it right back in his face. Dating inspires all kinds of pettiness, and this one's a definite gem. Check out some more juicy petty revenge content with this driver who taught a road rager a fine lesson in the art of petty revenge

Blue - r/pettyrevenge + Join u/ImOnAnAllCarbDiet · 5d 5 1 S 7 8 3 Ex bought himself a gift as a gift to me... So I did the same This happened a couple of Christmases ago but someone told me to post this story here so... Here I am. About 4 months before Christmas 2018, my boyfriend at the time accidentally spilt a drink on his laptop and wrecked the thing. He couldn't afford a new one and it was his main source of entertainment, so I said he could borrow mine since I didn't use it that often.

2.

Text - Everything was fine until Christmas that year, he still hadn't gotten a new laptop by that point but I assumed that was because he was saving up to get himself a decent laptop rather than a crappy one he could just about afford. Anyway, he handed me my gift and to my surprise it was a brand new laptop. I assumed that he bought me a laptop to replace my old one and was going to take my old laptop for himself. Nope. His gift to me was buying himself a new laptop so that he didn't have to us

3.

Text - When he opened it his eyes lit up and he looked so excited at the prospect of his new laptop, but when he started to open it I took it back from him and told him that it was actually for me and my gift was letting him keep his new laptop without me trying to use it all of the time. Of course we got into a massive argument and that eventually led to us breaking up (thankfully we exchanged gifts a few days before Christmas so the day wasn't ruined). I returned the laptop and used the money

Bride Demands Destination Wedding Is Child-Free

Weddings are always a ripe environment for dramas breaking out left and right. You've got a couple folks getting ready to tie the knot and spend the rest of their lives together, you've got irrational cases of perfectionism, and you've got family members that should never be in the same room with one another doing just that. In this case, our bride asks the folks of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for asking for her destination wedding to be child-free. Most folks seems to take sides with her. The one thing is she might not be able to expect a whole lot of people to show up.

Text - AITA for insisting my destination wedding be child-free? Not the A-hole After years of dating my bf proposed and we set off planning the wedding. Our families are spread out across the United States and there is no singular location that would be convenient for the majority. With this in mind we chose a state no one lives in that is central to all but family on the west coast. This location was by the water and since everyone was traveling we chose to make it more 'adult' - evening, open

2.

Text - I understand the hardship of traveling with kids and I also understand the hardship of finding childcare. We weighed the 'no kids' decision heavily. At our venue we had to pay per chair, per plate, and would have had to pay for a babysitting service. This information paired with a waterside venue and the stress of watching children during such a momentous life event sealed the 'no kids' decision. This did not go over well. We had pushback from multiple people, but the most extreme reactio

Text - My older brother is much older. His ex wife, current wife, biological mom, and other extended family live close to him. When I told him the wedding was child- free he tried to negotiate. For months he would call me, my dad, or my fiancé separately with suggestions. The closer it got to the wedding, the more it escalated. My niece at the time was under 3 and my brother said she would be disappointed by not being invited to attend her aunts wedding. He bought plane tickets for himself and m

Text - His wife never planned on coming to the wedding and was always planning to watch their young son. My brother insisted that watching his son and daughter would be too much for his wife, alone. Other family members were available to watch his daughter and he declined. Regardless, he said they would have to leave the wedding early so my niece would be in bed on time. He also said he was never planning on traveling for the wedding, just for the family reunion. I have gotten mixed feedback on

Honestly, I can understand people being frustrated that they can't bring their kids to a destination wedding, because it probably involves finding someone to babysit their children over at least one night. What I can't understand is repeatedly petitioning you to change your mind. You're allowed to have a child-free wedding, and your brother is allowed to not attend. And I'm sure his wife would be fine with their two children for

Text - Dreadedredhead • 18h · Partassipant [1] NTA. You issued an invitation. Instead of child-free, what if folks wanted to argue the start/end times, the menu, the location, the dress code. No, the proper response to any invitation is YES THANK YOU for the invite or NO THANK YOU, but thank you for the invite. He is attempting to change your plans for your event. Instead of demanding different options, the proper response from him should have been NO, but thank you for inviting us. We had a chi

Text - Youngish_widoe • 19h NTA. But, I dont understand what's the problem for people with kids to just decline! When you decide to have kids, you should know they're not going to be invited to some places and events. The parents are going to be restricted as well. All the parents who say "Personally, l'm not going anywhere without my kids." Fine, thats your decision and people respect it. Just decline for that reason. But, if you make that statement, then get mad because your child it not invit

Text - Limerase • 18h NTA Lots of people have childfree weddings, and I frankly can't stand the folks who think their children should be an exception. If you're paying for it, then you can darn well say to guests, no children allowed. I've been to weddings a child. Weddings are not fun. They're stuffy and boring, and when your first experience at a wedding was a Puerto Rican CATHOLIC wedding when you were an ADHD three-year-old, oh lord, was I a bored little nugget. Reply ...

Text - blinkingsandbeepings · 14h NTA. I was leaning the other way because I tend to think weddings should be inclusive family-friendly affairs, but then I remembered the horrible recent story on here about the child who drowned at a lakeside wedding reception. It is probably safer to keep it adults-only and your brother's behavior is pretty excessive IMO. It seems like he's more interested in proving a point (a formal disinvitation? where do you even get stationary for that?) than in finding a

Text - AzuFox • 14h NTA. I'm a parent and I never bring my kids to weddings to begin with. You pay a lot of money to have a special day, I don't need my meltdown-prone gremlin to ruin it or you to have to pay for a plate when she'll probably just be eating PB&j when we get back anyways. plus I like having adult time. So in the situations where I have to go across the country for stuff, I bring her AND a babysitter. Babysitter gets a free vacation, we find a hotel with a pool, and babysitter and

Text - Water-Disastrous · 22h · Partassipant [1] NTA you're planning a wedding and they cost a tonne. Do what you want and what you are going to do. You're not obligated to provide childcare and if they want to bring kids, they can pay for that. If people can't come because of children then you have to accept they won't be there, you would BTA if you were to insist they attend. Reply ...

Ay, Siri, you good bro? Just because we have all this advanced technology available at our disposal doesn't mean that the technology isn't invulnerable to having its own moments where everything just melts down.
