If you’ve ever been a kid (which is everyone) you know that kids can be brutal. They have no filter and a desire to hurt. Sure, people can be mean all the way into adulthood, but nobody’s meaner than a 5th grader with something to prove. The scars left by elementary and middle school bullies …

‘You learned a valuable lesson’: Worker brings in $12 million for her company, boss spits out coffee at her raise request
Asking for a raise is a tough business to go about. It takes a lot of confidence and gumption, and the way our work system is set up makes you feel like it’s something you shouldn’t be doing. Even when you know you deserve it. You come equipped with evidence and knowing your worth, and …

‘I would rather get no recognition’: Worker goes beyond call of duty to save company millions of dollars, is rewarded with a $30 gift card
Let’s call gift cards what they are: a cop-out gift. Sometimes it’s a greatly appreciated cop-out, but a cop-out nonetheless. It screams, «I don’t know you and I have no idea what you like so therefore I’m making you make the decision.» In certain cases, that’s the exact right move. If every gift I’ve been …

‘She said that I’m a bully’: Ignorant woman refuses to spell coworkers name correctly
What’s in a name? A lot, actually. Names are incredibly important, and when people mess with them, it feels like a personal affront.

‘Who marries someone without ever introducing their child?’: Careless Dad wants to introduce his new wife to 7-year-old daughter at her birthday party
Blended families can be a doozy. Remember the show Life With Derek? Or earlier than that, The Brady Bunch?

Not that it can’t be a beautiful and healthy …

‘Fix this or we all walk’: Duplicitous hotel managers deny holiday pay they previously approved
Working on holidays is one of those annoying inevitables of most people’s lives. You have to get up and go on a day when everybody else is getting to relax. You miss out on family gatherings, on important rituals, and it’s just another day. I’ve worked a few holidays in my time, and it can …

Delusional Lady Charges People to Cat-Sit, Calls It a ‘Cat Cafe’
You call it a cat cafe, I call it a surefire way to accidentally ingest cat hair. And if I wanted to do that, I would have stayed at home. Based on the amount that my cat sheds… I’m probably unknowingly swallowing it more than I’d like to know. That said, cat cafes are generally …

‘She’s pretty much trying to steal your child’: Overbearing mother-in-law throws a baby shower for herself, but it’s not her baby
There are so many mother-in-law horror stories from around the internet that there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to it. It’s a classic gripe, the whole Meet the Parents franchise of movies is based around the phenomenon of hating your in-laws. But it’s classic for a reason.

‘Big mistake. HUGE!’: Customer has real-life Pretty Woman moment with retail Karen
I’ve always wanted to walk into a store and prove everyone wrong with my ability to purchase a wildly expensive item. So far, it’s yet to happen, but there’s always time. When I’m traveling, if I have some downtime, I like to wander into big, fancy designer stores just to look around and people-watch. I …
