Entitled Influencer's Dad Disputes Contest, Ruins Entire Project and more...

All it had to be was a dumb marketing project with some giveaway stuff, but one "do you know who my father is" type just had to be involved. Overzealous and aggressive parents speaking on behalf of their children can lead to a lot of pain and suffering down the road, like this parent who blamed a teacher for their own kid not being in virtual class.

Text - We present them with an idea for their next big thing: • We get 20 young influencers to take photos of themselves with some bank cards and stuff. All of them some small-scale school-age influencers paid a symbolic amount of money. • I reate an Instagram clone, where people vote for their favorite photo. Each week, a new set of photos opens up and voting starts again, for a total of 8 weeks. • Everyone who participates in voting enters a raffle, and the influencer with the most votes gets

Text - I was the sole developer for this job, which meant I had the opportunity to take out the fanciest tools in my toolbox. I was quite proud of the end product. It was done on time, on budget, well tested, and could handle tons of traffic. Then, the campaign goes live. Voting starts, traffic exceeds our expectations, everything on my side is working great. On the second day of the campaign, an 18-year-old $influencerGirl gets a massive spike in vote count during a 1 hour period. Immediately a

Text - The $veryImportantDad is threatening us in every possible way he can. Negative social media posts, complaining to $bank, boycotting the campaign by getting other participants on board, and somehow threatening legal action. In the same email, he mentions at least 3 times how his son is a huge social media personality, how we should be lucky to even have him in the game, how he didn't even want to participate in such a small-scale event, and just how impossible it is for him to receive fewe

5.

Text - While the security was done right, auditing and logs were inadequate for this investigation. Server access logs contained IP addresses and such but contained no information that would allow me to connect HTTP requests to actual users and who they voted for. Authentication was done either via Google SSO, Facebook SSO, or SMS code verification. Database records were consistent, so I ended up browsing through the SSO data, trying to spot any sign of multiple dummy Google or Facebook accounts

6.

Text - The best proof I could come up with was the ratio between different authentication methods. If $influencerGirl cheated, the makeup of the accounts that voted for her would be different from the rest of the accounts. In layman's terms, if the app had 40% of users registered via Google, 35% via Facebook, and 25% via SMS, and the accounts that voted for her had the same ratio (or at least, not different enough for any statistical significance), it would 99% prove that she did not cheat. If s

Text - The people at $bank did not quite understand the mathematics, so my investigation failed to reach any conclusions. So they did the obvious. A lawyer from $bank called $influencerGirl to ask her how she got those votes. Turns out she was an animator at a college party, where she picked up the mic and told everyone to vote for her. She then signed a statement that this was true. For the remaining weeks, we were stalling $veryImportantDad, telling him that the investigation is in progress an

8.

Text - In the end, the campaign exceeded all KPIS, some by a factor of 10, and would be considered a massive success, were it not for the accusations of cheating. It put a strain on our relationship with the $bank and we received no future projects like this from them. Eventually, they pulled all their work.

Girlfriend Spends Minimal Effort On Boyfriend's Gift, Boyfriend Gets Sad

This guy asked the folks in Reddit's AITA community whether or not he was in the wrong for his reaction to learning that his girlfriend basically got him the same kind of gift that she gets anyone else in her life who she doesn't want to spend too much time and money on. With what might be no big surprise at all, people seem to be in collective agreement that it was a pretty lousy move on the part of the girlfriend.

She hinted me that she would have loved a ring, nothing too crazy, and I got her a ring. In addition to that a big frame with 12 picture in it, one picture from every month we've been together (yes I know it may sound lame lol). I'm a sort of minimalist and I don't really have anything I need so when she asked me if there was

Scammer Thinks They Have Foolproof Plan For Free Vacation, Pays For It In The End

When will the irritating scammers of this wild world ever learn that their scams are going to backfire on them at some point? This particular scammer thought they had some kind of airtight, foolproof plan for a free vacation, and oh boy were they wrong. We just love to see a scammer get their rightful comeuppance when it's all said and done!

1.

Text - r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk + Join u/MrsRononDex • 1y 1 2 Scammer thought she had a foolproof plan for a free vacation... But she paid for it in the end! Long I will always remember this wanna-be scam artist. I was working Corporate Guest Relations and I received a VERY long email from a guest about their stay at our Resort property in Mexico. This was a very nice All- Inclusive Beachfront Resort. She put a lot of effort into the email, which was basically a day-by-diary of her 8 night stay,

2.

Text - Day 1: The shuttle driver was rude. We had to wait 30 minutes to checked in. The view is horrible, we can't see the Ocean. The sheets were dirty (picture attached). The A/C is so loud I can't sleep. There is a crack in the sidewalk outside our room (picture attached). My dinner was cold and there wasn't any salt/pepper on the table. The shower has no water pressure. Day 2: We had breakfast at pancakes. My daughter's favorite cereal available. There were loud children playing in the pool a

3.

Text - Imagine a list with 100 more things from her 8 night stay, every department from FD, Housekeeping, Maintenance, ect. Now, some of the complaints seemed plausible, but really, who spends their entire vacation making a log of everything they think is wrong with a Resort? Especially a Hotel we get very little complaints about. Sol contacted the FOM to discuss the guest, assuming the FD system (which I cannot access) would have all the logs from this woman's complaints (the Hotel logs EVERYTH

4.

Text - But there was nothing there. In fact, the entire time she was at the Hotel she never voiced any complaints. She merely logged them in her little "complaint diary" and went about her business. Many of her issues were extremely petty, for example the "crack in the sidewalk" was about 3 inches long and was flat on both sides. It wasn't a tripping hazard, just a small crack. The light out in the path... even in the picture I could see that the area was still very well lit because they have li

5.

Text - We looked into everything, talked to all of the department heads, and had the room she stayed in fully inspected. While the list made it seem like she had a horrible stay, there really wasn't any substance behind her complaints. So, since this all seemed a bit fishy to everyone, I called the guest and spoke with her about her complaints. I told her that I had been in contact with the Hotel and we couldn't find any record of her complaints, and I inquired who at the Hotel she had spoken wi

6.

Text - I gave her my apologies and suggested that next time she should express her complaints while on property, so they can be immediately addressed. For example Housekeeping would have been happy to change out the "dirty sheets", etc etc. Keep in mind she was there for 8 nights, at an all-inclusive resort with 7 different restaurants, 4 bars, multiple pools, etc. She probably never left the Hotel, but never said a word about all the problems she was having. Note: 100% of the employees speak En

7.

Text - Nope, that's not good enough, she wants a FULL refund ($6,500) and nothing less. I told her that I would discuss and get back to her. The next day I inform her that the Hotel would not offer a refund, but they were willing to add in another night, so now that's 4 free nights. Nope, unacceptable, she continues to demand a full refund. We went back and forth. She wanted my manager, who then told her the same thing. The guest hung up on my boss after things got a bit heated. A few days later

8.

Text - Then, the unimaginable happened. In all my years of Customer Service, I have never EVER had a scammer resort to telling the TRUTH. When she finally realized she wasn't getting a refund, she cried, "| can't afford to pay for this, I don't have the money! I don't know what to do... you have to help me!" I was like, "You... can't afford to pay? Weren't you planning on paying for your stay when you made the reservation? It's not like we are charging you more than you agreed to ...and we are s

9.

Text - Did this woman just admit she planned all this, thinking she was just going to complain her way into a $6,500 refund? Yes, yes she did just say that. Me: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do." Guest (who now sounds like she is having a panic attack): "I've got to get that money back, I've got to do something... you've got to help me out here... I don't know what else to do ... I don't have the money...I can't pay for this..." Me: "Ma'am, you should have thought about that befo

10.

Text - She cried some more, then she resorted to screaming so I hung up on her. Everything was noted. All my calls are recorded so I went ahead and attached that file. She did send some hate mail to our Corporate offices, but due to the fact that I had a RECORDING of her admitting she was trying to scam us, they ignored her letters. Oh, and her "frequent guest" membership was flagged as being banned from all properties. We did not send her the free night certificates either. 5.1k Q 232 1, Share

Humorous Times People and Things Were Singled Out Unfairly

With all the misfortune life likes to throw at people, there are moments when life has a way of singling certain people and things out in a way that's so unfair, it just becomes funny.

Coworker Disregards IT Guy's Advice, Fiery Mess Ensues

Some people are more stubborn than others, and sometimes that frustrating stubborn stance goes hand in hand with acts of stupefying, blind ignorance. Take this IT dude's coworker who decided to have nothing short of a hysterical meltdown over what she viewed as a faulty printer. Well, one thing leads to another and before you know it, she's created a fire in the office. To make matters more dramatic, she decided to put the fiery papers on the counter instead of into the sink. It sounds like logic was a lacking quality from the beginning in this tale of tech support.

1.

Text - r/talesfromtechsupport + u/TheClawsThatCatch · 3y • "It must be the pri.. Zen and the art of starting a fire in the lunchroom Long A man sits at a desk. In front of the man's desk is a window. Through the window he sees a woodpecker tapping on the windowsill. Tap, tap, tap. The sound is not entirely unpleasant and he savors its rhythm as the scent of fresh coffee wafts up from a cup on the desk. He is at peace.

2.

Text - A loud crash sends the woodpecker flying and snaps the man out of his morning reverie. It is the sound of an office chair colliding with the floor at maximum velocity. "Peace? NO PEACE!" it seems to cry. The man braces for that inevitable moment when an angry coworker will come forth and blame him for something. As if summoned, a raging bear of a woman huffs into the room. "The thermal printer won't print anything!" she roars, shaking a fistful of labels in the man's direction.

3.

Text - "Could you be more specific?" the man asks, entering the trance-like state of IT. "Nothing shows up on any labels I try printing!" she shouts, not satisfied with the lack of an immediate resolution. The man ponders this "information" for a few moments, keeping in mind the fact that this is the same coworker who destroyed two shredders and the last thermal printer. "All right, let's have a look." >>

4.

Text - He feeds a string of labels into the printer and for a moment is reminded of prayer flags strung from pole to pole. With a wistful sigh, he wonders who will answer his prayers in this moment. He unpauses the printer and watches it release labels as blank as the ones going in. This is indeed a problem. "Have you tested this with other labels?" He knows the answer but must ask anyway; the universe demands that ritual be observed. "Of course I have!" But this is false. "Have you really?" "I

5.

Text - The man takes a deep breath and searches the room for another roll of labels. He knows that as sure as the sun will rise, this coworker will deny all but the most forceful of examples. He cuts a few labels off the coworker's roll and cuts a few labels off a roll from a different box. "Come," he says, leaving the room. "Where are we going?" asks the coworker, following close behind. But the man does not answer, knowing his breath would be wasted. Instead, he grabs his coffee cup off his de

Text - The two enter the lunchroom and the man sets his cup down next to the coffee pot. He removes the carafe and proceeds to fill his cup. "I followed you here for this?" shouts the coworker, but the man does not hear her for there is coffee. He sets the carafe down next to the coffee maker and presses the labels from the new roll onto the element for a moment, then he lifts them toward coworker's gaze. "They're black, so what?" says the coworker, now uncertain. >>

7.

Text - Without a word, the man presses the labels from the coworker's roll to the element to the count of three, for it is the holy number and must be observed in the interest of fire safety. As he expected, the labels remain blank. But the coworker does not accept this. "No!" she cries with eyes full of disbelief. "You must have done something wrong! It must be the printer!" The man smiles magnanimously as he replaces the carafe nd says, "Change must come from a different roll of labels. I will

8.

Text - This is rare, suspicious even, but the man is happy to be free of this burden and so accepts her gratitude. 15 minutes later, there is the smell of smoke and the sound of frantic yelling pouring out of the lunchroom. The man's boss approaches his desk as she has many times before, knowing that he is somehow indirectly but unprovably involved in this incident. "[Coworker] just set a bunch of labels in the lunchroom on fire, panicked and threw them onto the counter instead of into the sink.

Dude's Nephew Starts A Housefire for TikTok, Wants Whole Family Out

On the one hand, it's nice to live in your own peaceful home without the risk of further fires. On the other hand, how much sympathy is the right amount to extend in order to keep your extended family off the streets? It's a bit of a rough one. Those kooky kids learn all sorts on the Tik Toks, like this dad who found out his daughter who filed her teeth for TikTok.

My (32F) brother (43M), his wife (40?F), and their two kids (9F and 15M) have been staying with me for a little over two weeks now because they lost their jobs due to coronavirus and were evicted. Four people is obviously a large addition, but I didn't want them to be homeless and they assured me it'd be a temporary stay.

From what he told me after, there's some kind of trend where you draw a shape on your mirror with hairspray and then you light it on fire, and it's supposed to go out on it's own without any damage. Well, his fire spread onto a nearby stack of towels and got out of control. We all had to evacuate, but luckily I live relatively close to a firestation so the damage wasn't that bad. My guest bathroom is scorched and will need repa

Maybe offer to let dad or mom and daughter stay if they're that desperate. The other parent and son can go stay with someone else. Its easier to house 2 people than 4.

Not to mention he's a fifteen year old in a pandemic, who lost his home, whose parents dont have jobs, and it's easy to forget the mental toll that is likely taking on him. What he did was stupid and dangerous, but he may have been following a trend as a way of connecting with other

I'd imagine he's pretty embarrassed right now. Either way, you shouldn't kick out a whole family onto the street in the middle of a pandemic because a 15 year old made a mistake. His parents saying “it was an accident" is also because they're probably embarrassed as all hell too. As long as your nephew

Text - no_good_namez Professor Emeritass [70] 17 hours ago Wow that sucks all around. Nephew is an idiot, but it's outrageous to assume the parents were negligent, teenagers get up to far worse on their own. Of course the fire could have been much worse, but these are heavy consequences for him to bear. No judgment, just hope that things improve for all of you and that someone else is willing to take in this family if you no longer can.

Design Failures That Could Use Some Rethinking

Everyone wants to leave work early, but sometimes it takes a few design fails to get there. Ill conceived products, idiotic font choices, and some less-than-mastery of photoshop get people into some weird situations. Adding to that, the pesky thing with reality is that sometimes things don't fit where you want them to. Enough "not my job" moments of failure have proven that.

Total Strangers People Will Never Forget

It's weird that we're surrounded by people all the time, but it's against social convention to have a meaningful relationship with any of them. As rare as it is, people will take time out of their lives to make more of an impact than being just a face in the crowd. Some of these interactions are strange encounters, others are wholesome, but the one thing they all are is memorable.

Funny, Irreverent, And Bizarre Tinder Gems

We can always count on Tinder to deliver a steady, relentless series of cheesy, irreverant, and just plain old bizarre pickup lines. Every now and again it seems like a meaningful connection is found in this world with its battlefield of red flags. But otherwise you can pretty much just expect Tinder users to keep things as far away from the realm of being serious as possible. Sometimes though, that can actually work out.

Engineer Trashes Own Manager And Team, Gets To Do Presentation

People that spread gossip about other people are the worst. They're pretty much just out there churning up toxic vibes, distrust, and animosity in an otherwise peaceful and friendly environment. Chad, our main character in this tale of pro revenge learns the value in not speaking poorly of others behind their backs. Especially when the other folks you're trash talking are your manager and team. We just would've loved to have seen the look of embarrassment and shame that must've danced across Chad's face when he was forced to discredit himself in front of the rest of the company.

Check out some more juicy pro revenge drama with this pro revenge tale about a Christmas Ornaments Robin Hood.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/raptorbluez • 16h + Join 1 3 2 8 1 Trash your own manager and department? You get to do a presentation! True story, names changed, years ago, yadda, yadda, yadda. Chad was an engineer with a planning and support department for a portion of his company's infrastructure that impacted virtually every other part of the company.

2.

Text - Unfortunately Chad was a real asshole. During less than a year with the company, he had thoroughly trashed everyone in his department to anyone who would listen. He talked about their incompetence, their screw-ups (which were generally minor), and most importantly their failure to properly support the very mission critical infrastructure they were responsible for. Every hiccough that occurred, however minor, was used as ammunition. What Chad told everyone who would listen eventually made

3.

Text - Chad's manager and director was Tim, a pretty crappy manager by most measures. He paid about 40% less that the industry average and had a staff of "B" and "C" players because of it, but he nevertheless expected absolute dedication from that staff. If he could have had them wash his car and pick up his dry cleaning those things would have been added to their job descriptions. Tim was also pretty poor when it came to understanding what his own staff did and routinely made things up about th

Text - Despite his shortcomings as a manager, the one place Tim excelled was corporate politics. He was able to consistently come through failures without a scratch when those failures would have sidelined anyone else. Tim would deftly play opponents off one another, then stand back and watch the fireworks. He had been at it for years and seemed to have a Teflon coating. Crap that stuck to everyone around him would slide right off. Tim, of course, knew exactly what Chad had been saying. Eventual

5.

Text - The meeting rolled around and Chad was forced to stand up in front of a large group of company directors and managers and formally defend his own manager and department. Everyone at the meeting knew they were only there because of what Chad had been saying, and they sat back and watched him tear himself apart and prove the things he, himself had been telling everyone were flat out lies. Of course Tim and his department came through completely unscathed, but Chad was thoroughly discredited

6.

Text - TL:DR – Chad was a engineer who trashed everyone around him, including his own department manager. That manager was a master at corporate politics and required Chad to formally defend him and his department in a director's meeting that was only called because of what Chad had been saying. Chad stood up at the meeting and essentially had to prove that everything he had said about his own department was a lie, completely discrediting himself throughout the company and forcing his departure

Voracious Trees That Engulfed Things

Everyone things that trees are peaceful, but in reality they're the only thing out there willing to eat anything. No predator out there would think to eat a motorcycle. Sure, you have to lean that puppy up against a tree and wait a few years, but by gum after a decade or so those famished trees will engulf that sucker. It should be known that trees are low key monsters.

Guy Buys Suit of Armor, Ends Up Roleplaying as Manager

If only there could always be a threatening guy in a suit of armor for every single negative customer encounter. It's probably hard not to listen to anyone standing 6 foot 5 in a suit of armor. Sometimes the ol' manager switcheroo works out, like this entitled customer who came in after close and got kicked out by the "manager." It must feel pretty good to be someone's literal knight in shining armor.

Text - Posted by u/KnightOfAMicroNation 13 hours ago & 2, 2 4 E6 3 6 8 8 Guy in armor? Must be in charge. XXXL So a bit of backstory. Back in 2018, when this occurred, I had saved up quite a bit of money from my job as a shift lead in the food service industry. So what did I, a 17M do with that money? I bought a suit of steel plate armor, helmet and all, something I had always wanted to do since I knew what a knight was. I had bought it primarily to wear at the local Renaissance Festival, but to

2.

Text - Anyways, onto the story. That October, my mom signed my entire family up to volunteer at a nearby hospital's Trunk-Or-Treat the Saturday before Halloween, a night I had off from work. So I suited up, the rest of my family got into their Ren-Fest costumes, and off we went. When we arrived, we reported to the event director (The REAL manager) and were assigned our duties. My parents were to hand out candy from the back of their car and keep an eye on the kids walking through, like most of t

3.

Text - My job was to stand at one of the entrances to the portion of the parking lot the event was taking place in and keep cars from driving through. Here to join the Trunk-Or-Treat? Go around the hospital to the exit side of the lot and someone else will direct you further. Just trying to leave the hospital? Sorry bud, you're going to have to turn around. No exit here. There was another entrance, but other volunteers took care of it, and mine was where the line of Trunk-Or-Treaters would wait

4.

Text - Text - So sometime between 2 and a half and 3 hours on duty, I hear a bit of yelling coming from the other parking lot entrance. I didn't think much of it, because there are a lot of people around being loud, especially kids. So I keep on keeping on. Then a moment later, just as I finish another photo op, there's a tap on my pauldron (Shoulder armor). I turn, and there stands one of the volunteers from the other entrance, looking a bit exasperated. "Hey, man, sorry to bother you, but can

5.

Text - Now I see a car stopped at the second entrance, and a red faced man in the driver's seat with the window down tearing into the second volunteer traffic cone. As we approached, the guy who grabbed me ran ahead, blocking the man's view of me as I got closer. "Alright, man," he said, "Here's the manager, like you wanted." "About f****** time! What, is he a r***** like you two?! I swear to god, I'll-" At this point, the volunteer who had me follow him stepped aside, and I came forward, right

6.

Text - The man just stared at me for a couple of seconds, mouth agape. Still not sure which was worse for him, the beast in medieval armor, or the fact he saw his own stupid face reflected in my visor. When he finally found his voice again, he sort of pointed ahead of him and mumbled "I, uh, I- I want to leave through here because the traffic is really bad the other way because of the construction-" I didn't let him finish and folded my arms, which wasn't exactly easy. "Seriously? You do see all

7.

Text - I was LOVING this. I never got to talk to people like this at my actual job. Without a word, he rolled up his window, put the car in reverse, and drove away. Once he was gone, the volunteer who grabbed me high fived his buddy, then me. "Sorry for dragging you into this, man, but I couldn't find the actual manager and this guy was pissed and then I saw you, and I knew you would be perfect." I just laughed, and told him it was no trouble, that it was actually very enjoyable. Then I took a p

Safety Failures That Would Have Osha Filling Its Pants

Work in any physical job for a day or two and you'll likely see some OSHA-unapproved moments of safety failure that you may wish you hadn't. Extremely high ladders, improperly handled safety harnesses, unsafe tools and long-past-due fire extinguishers are just a few things one might see lurking around. And that's not even counting the unsafe maneuvers so many people try to pull off daily. Safety first.

Customer Won't Leave Without Wii, Security Guard Says Otherwise

Anyone who has ever muddled through the harrowing daily existence that is keeping up with a job in retail knows that the gig comes with many entitled customers and raging Karens that really push you to your limit of what you'll tolerate, every shift. In this case though, we get to see a heroic security guard show up in the nick of time, and ultimately give a belligerent customer the stiff reality check that they so sorely needed.

1.

Text - r/TalesFromRetail + Join u/Presspanda · 3y "I'm not leaving here without the Wii." Yes you are. Long r/ALL It's been over a decade sinceI worked in retail but reading this sub lately has brought back so many memories and I thought I would start to share. I worked in a store selling dvds, cds, games, vinyl and a bunch of other entertainment related stuff. This story took place the day after the launch of the Nintendo Wii. Our store had guaranteed that if you had pre-ordered a Wii by a cert

2.

Text - The day after the release, we had just opened and I was standing by the entrance of the door to greet customers when this big angry looking guy comes charging through the door straight up to me ... Customer: do you have any Nintendo Wii's in stock ? Me: Hi, I'm sorry we sold out of the stock we had yesterday. ..on hearing this the customer stamped his foot and slammed his shopping bags against his side. I knew at that point drama was about to unfold. Customer: Right, well I want to pre or

3.

Text - Me: What? Customer: You are lying to me, I was in here 2 weeks ago and was told if I pre ordered I was guaranteed one on the day of release! At this point, l'm thinking maybe l've misunderstood and he has in fact pre ordered so I make an attempt at clarifying... Me: Oh, are you here to collect a pre order? Do you have your order slip and receipt? Customer: No I don't have a slip, you should have one for me because I enquired about wanting one weeks ago! Either give me one now or order one

4.

Text - Text - Customer: This is ridiculous! Get me a manager right now as you are obviously incapable of sorting this mess out. I'm not leaving here without the Wii! As angry as this guy already was, he was about to get even angrier as I now had to inform him that I was in fact the manager on duty and the only one around. (I was a supervisor who did opening and closing - supervisors were designated managers on duty when there were no real grown ups around) The guy flipped out...pointing his fing

5.

Text - Unbeknown to me, our security guard had just come on shift and was just entering the shop floor when he heard the customer screaming at me. He walked straight up from behind me, grabbed the guy by his neck and dragged him outside backwards telling him "you're done." Once outside, the guy stood between me and the security guard...almost foaming at the mouth with rage for a good minute before turning and storming out of sight. 9.5k 356 1, Share

Dude Intentionally Embarrasses "Influencer" Friend, Lets Them Post Dumb Meme

Sometimes we can get a little carried away when it comes to embarrassing our friends. In this case we have one friend who decided to hatch a little plan to embarrass their influencer friend by intentionally letting them post a very dumb meme that they had no idea about. Suffice to say, the "influencer" and their lie that they decided to tell ended up looking very foolish. Maybe a lesson learned in there.
