She’s not a particularly considerate roommate. If your roommates don’t do something that annoys you a little bit, you’re probably living with a robot and not a real person. If you decide to cohabitate with other people, you have to get used to the fact that they’re going to do little things that you don’t …

Job interviewer asks job seeker ‘Sell Me a Pen’ as the only question in the job interview: ‘I know a guy in Tanzania who can forge it into pure gold pens for 60 cents on the dollar.’
What kind of a stupid question is that? Job interviews are a tough nut to crack. As the interviewee, it feels like the interviewer has all the power, and you have to read their cues and predict what they want to have a shot at the job. You feel like you have to answer every …

65-year-old clerk constantly talks all throughout the workday, interrupts coworker when she tries to get a word in: ‘She never calls off and never shuts up or stops complaining.’
She needs to leave her coworkers alone, but she never will. How much should you talk on the job? Some jobs are so boring that there’s nothing else to do but talk to your coworkers. If you’ve ever worked at a store or a frozen yogurt store that doesn’t get a lot of customers, having …

Boss mandates a virtual Happy Hour with remote employees every Friday at 4 PM: ‘It is not even remotely optional.’
Are they trying to make their employees hate them? I find great value in working alongside others. I get so much more done working in a cafe with my friends than I do working at home, lying in bed in my pajamas, and a lot of Work from Home evangelists don’t want you to believe …

Mom cuts off childfree friend after she scolds her for letting her 20-month-old touch her bowl: ‘She found it really unacceptable that my baby was touching her things.’
If she thinks that a toddler isn’t going to grab things that don’t belong to them, she’s in for an awakening when she becomes a parent. It’s not always easy to maintain friendships with people who are at a completely different stage of life than you. There’s a huge difference between a 32-year-old who is …

Employee considers confronting coworker who burps every 15 minutes: ‘She does always say excuse me after but it’s just a bit nasty.’
That’s pretty annoying, but it’s not like she should confront her about it. One of my good friends burps a lot. She is not coy about her burping, unlike most people. She burps loudly, with her mouth wide open, and she does not apologize or excuse herself for the act. She consumes more Monster Energy …

27-year-old constantly sets the thermostat to 80 degrees, roommate locks him out of the thermostat and sets it to 72 degrees during the day and 68 at night: ‘He just said I’m being controlling and that the temperature isn’t that big of a deal.’
He either needs to pay for all the extra utilities he’s using or buy a nice cable-knit sweater to wear around the house! It’s totally unreasonable to expect your roommate to tolerate 80 degree weather indoors.
Employee trains her replacement for 3 months, replacement constantly asks her questions 6 months into the job: ‘My old boss has also told me multiple times that he wishes I was still there.’
She needs to ignore her emails and let her sink or swim. It shouldn’t take you months and months to get the basic hang of your job. It takes around a year to fully figure out your role in the company, and it’s okay if you’re not literally an expert on all of the happenings …

Coworker goes through colleague’s phone and finds texts calling her annoying, starts spreading rumors about her in the office: ‘I never leave my phone out in the open, so that means she had to go through my stuff to get it.’
If she can prove that she actually read her texts, she could get herself fired. One of my biggest fears is someone hacking into my phone and reading all of my nefarious texts. It’s not like I’m confessing to anything that will put me behind bars in my texts, but I have definitely said things …

18-year-old roommate talks to her girlfriend on the phone from 10 PM to 3 AM every night, keeping her roommates up all night: ‘I am MISERABLE! My ears have bruises from sleeping in AirPods for the last 4 months.’
She’s lucky she didn’t tell their RA about this during week one of living together. Freshman year dorm roommates are always such a gamble. Some lucky ducks are able to live with their friends or acquaintances from high school, but most of us get shoved into a bedroom with a complete stranger. It’s bad enough …
