Bad Boss Tells Great Employee to Quit. Immediately Regrets It.

I’m sure you’ve found yourself at jobs where management just didn’t appreciate you or give you the proper respect you deserved.

Hey, we’ve all been there at one point or another!

And it’s always so darn satisfying to hear a story about someone who quits a job and the boss knows almost immediately that they made a mistake.

A person took to Reddit to share their own story.

Here’s how it started.

He started out slowly at the job but started taking on more responsibility quickly when management knew they could count on him…and when they didn’t want to do certain things themselves…

And so he started doing just about everything about the joint.

He was working his tail off and the owners would sometimes tell him they wanted to make him a manager…

But after they kept bringing up the management position and not delivering, the person decided to have a sit-down with one of the bosses and bring it up.

That’s called being a go-getter!

But the boss didn’t see it that way.

So this employee decided to only do what they were originally hired to do.

Hey, if the bosses want to play that game, then that’s how it will be.

But the boss clearly didn’t catch on after that first conversation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Wow! That’s totally ridiculous!

The conversation continued…and the boss laid down a challenge that he probably didn’t expect this person to take.

Photo Credit: Reddit

But they did!

See ya later…but the bosses still didn’t catch on…they don’t seem too bright.

And things went downhill very fast after this employee left.

Here’s how the story ended.

What do you think about this?

Have you had jobs where you wanted to just walk out sometimes?

Or maybe where you DID walk out?

Two Friends “Parent Trapped” Their Folks and Documented the Success for All to See

Ready for a wholesome love story? I know I am!

So here’s the story: two best friends in San Jose, California, named Catherine and Allison had single parents so they decided it would be a good idea to “Parent Trap” them, or set them up on a date.

The two friends didn’t know how it would work out, but their parents ended up having a great connection.

Here’s a short version of Allison telling the story on TikTok.

@polygonmarket

Is this real life? ✨? #modernfamily #lovestory #storytime #tiktokvlog

♬ Up Beat (Married Life) – Kenyi

Allison went into more depth about the love connection when she talked to Buzzfeed.

She said,

“We’d often discuss our mutual desire to help them each find love. We hadn’t even thought about introducing them.

Her mom had always had bad luck with men, and my dad was so hesitant to even put himself out there. I think they had both been single for 10+ years.”

Allison continued,

“The more we talked about it, the more we realized they had a lot of very random things in common (their mutual obsession with Mamma Mia, their favorite jazz artist Diana Krall, and their deep love and connection to their favorite local restaurant, The Pastaria & Market).”

Look at how cute these two are today!

Allison went on,

“We knew they would be reluctant to go on a blind date, so it took us a while to figure out how to make it happen.

We decided to stage an impromptu run-in at a local park concert to relieve any pressure.

Plans fell through, so we decided to postpone the idea until further notice.”

And last, but certainly not least…

“The day the original plan was supposed to happen (Father’s Day), we ran into them completely coincidentally at a local winery!

We were shook!

We knew it was meant to be somehow.

Catherine’s mom (Terry) agreed to let her give my dad her number, and the rest was history!”

How’s that for fate?!?!

The couple is still together and loving life together.

What a great story! Remember folks, there are a ton of fish in the sea and you’re never too old to find love.

How about you? Have you seen any other funny videos or pranks on TikTok or on any other social media platforms?

A Man Who Gained One Million Followers Overnight Has Been Homeless and Filming From His Car

If you’re a fan of TikTok, have you heard of a guy on there who goes by the handle “Angry Reactions”?

If not, you’re missing out. His real name is Oneya Johnson and he’s become a viral sensation on TikTok. Johnson created the account in late August he incredibly gained one million followers in 24 hours when people caught on to his hilarious personality.

Johnson’s whole schtick on TikTok is just like the name implies: he reacts very angrily to other TikTok users’ content but it’s all meant to be in good fun.

He was evicted by his landlord from his previous home in Michigan where he lived with his ex and he made his way to Lafayette because his brother lives there.

Since then, Johnson has been living in his car.

Shouting matches with his ex were ultimately what got him evicted from his place in Michigan, but Johnson said he and his ex are on good terms now and they share two children together.

Johnson said,

“I basically took how the world sees me, and how I really am, and just matched it together.

If I passed you on the street and I don’t say a word, I look like the angriest person in the world.

But when you actually get to know me, I’m actually a really positive person.”

Keep an eye on this fella and let’s hope he gets back on his feet sooner than later.

A Woodworker Made Dozens of Desks for Local Kids Who Are Learning From Home

To all the parents who are dealing with their kids learning from home, we salute you…because it can’t be easy for you OR the kiddos who are pretty much housebound during the pandemic that we’re all living through.

But out of all uncertainty and hard times, we occasionally get wholesome stories about everyday people doing great and generous things for other folks…and here’s a good one for you to enjoy.

A woodworker named Mitch Couch made a desk for his kids to work at while learning from home and he shared a photo of the desk on Instagram and remarked how cheap and easy it was to build.

A local business owner learned about Couch’s work and got in touch with him and asked if he would make more desks to be donated to local schools. Couch immediately said yes and got busy making 35 desks for kids in his community.

A local company in Lemoore, California, where Couch lives called Grocery Outlet generously donated the supplies to help out with this important project.

If you’re interested in building a desk like the one that Couch made for the kids, check out his website HERE for instructions. His website also offers advice on all kinds of DIY building projects.

What a nice act of kindness!

Now we want to hear from you.

Have you seen anything on social media or in the news lately that really warmed your heart?

A Video Demonstrates How Easy It Is for a Person to Spike Your Drink

It’s a lesson all young people should learn before they start going to bars and parties where alcohol will be served: always keep your eye on your drink and never, ever take a drink from someone you don’t know.

I’ve heard way too many horror stories from people who had something slipped into their drinks and that’s when really bad things happen.

And a woman named Mell Hall took to TikTok to illustrate just how easy it is for someone to spike your drink. Hall shows a bunch of different examples on her video about how simple it is for predators and creeps out there to pull this off.

Photo Credit: TikTok

Hall said,

“I would have been happy if just one person would have walked away from watching this video and decided to be more vigilant and build safer habits for themselves.”

She added,

“To my surprise, it looks like millions of people are going to re-evaluate how they protect themselves and those around them!

People have been so generous in the comments and have jumped in to give personal anecdotes and share how they keep themselves safer when they go out.”

So, basically… you need to be VERY careful and MUCH MORE vigilant.

Photo Credit: TikTok

Watch Hall’s video very carefully and see how hard it is to even pick up on what she’s doing when she drops the kernels into the drinks.

It’s pretty scary how fast it happens.

@renaissancewomanhood

Reply to @ivanp19 I feel really icky after doing that… even if it wasn’t real? #besafeeveryone

♬ Money Trees – Kendrick Lamar

Please remember to be vigilant and be extra careful when it comes to your drink when you’re out at bars or at parties. As Hall just showed us, it’s very easy to slip something in and a lot of people never notice…until it’s too late.

Have you ever had any experiences with someone trying to do this to you or a friend of yours in a bar before?

If so, tell us what happened in the comments.

We’d love to hear your stories. Please and thank you!

People Share Really Bad Things They’ve Heard Teachers Say in Front of Classes

When you were in school, was there ever an incident where a teacher lost their cool and said some pretty scandalous things in front of a class?

Or maybe they just said something totally inappropriate in front of students for another reason?

It really does happen all the time! And we’re about to hear a whole bunch of stories about this kind of stuff!

Let’s see what folks on AskReddit had to say about bad things they heard teachers say in front of classes.

1. Oh my…

“College history professor called me a mongrel after finding out I’m mixed race.

The class laughed awkwardly with me.”

2. Don’t be lazy!

“Class mate explained he couldn’t get through the 20-page assignment in time due to his dyslexia, Old-timey teacher says ” there’s no such thing, you’re just lazy”.

Only about 6 or 7 years ago, too.”

3. I hope they got fired.

“Looked at a mentally handicapped girl and muttered “retard” just loud enough for a few people at the front to hear.”

4. Psycho.

“I had a teacher when I was 13/14 years old that said to a girl of the class she was going to end up prostituting. In front of the whole class.

Same teacher said to an other girl that she was going to end up working at McDonald’s if she kept having bad grades.

Same teacher told the whole class our parents were “ungrateful to the pedagogic team that takes care of their children” because she didn’t receive any chocolates for Christmas.”

5. Jeez…

“A teacher once got fired because at the end of a workshop class she asked all the black students in the class to stand up, told them that they would be staying behind to clean the workshop after class and then dismissed all the white students.”

6. Harsh.

“At the start of class our teacher just sat in silence for five minutes, we waited for him to begin. He then said “you have just wasted five minutes of your life. You will never get that time back”

A bit harsh on a class of nine year olds.”

7. Oops!

“Assembly in front of the whole school (ages 3 and up).

Let it slip that Santa isn’t real.”

8. What are you doing here?

“I don’t know why there are so many girls in this class. You’re supposed to be married and have children already”

–11th grade advanced physics teacher.”

9. Brutal.

“I was 13. 7th grade. My homeroom teacher was Mr. Baker.

I lived in a neighborhood a few blocks away from a park and I was finally old enough to get to walk there myself. I was overweight and I had started walking there almost every day.

I would walk the track for hours and then walk back home. It was a positive for me and would have probably led to healthier choices down the line. One day during free period he called out my name. In front of my entire homeroom, kids I’d known my whole life plus a few new people, he told me that he had seen me walking down the road.

Laughing now, he said that he to wait ten minutes for me to move out of the way because I was blocking half the road. Most of the class laughed with him. I had to sit there, holding everything in until the bell rang. Then I went to the bathroom and sobbed. I never walked to the park again. I was afraid to leave my house for a really long time.

That sh*t was so uncool and f*cked me up for a long time. People really suck for absolutely no reason and it’s just a thing we have to accept and I hate it.”

10. Blow up.

“I had a religion teacher in high school named Mr. Nguyen, who was working on becoming a Jesuit priest, and was a really cool guy. He always had a smile on his face and did his best to make class a fun experience for everyone.

There was a kid in my class who was a really annoying smart *ss, but Mr. Nguyen was always really patient with him, until one day he pushed him too far. I forgot exactly what the kid said, but it definitely crossed the line.

Mr. Nguyen slammed his fists on his desk and shouted, “Why can’t you EVER shut the fu*k up!” He then picked up his stapler and chucked it at the kid, missing his head by a few inches and leaving a huge dent in the wall and then stormed out into the hallway.

I had never seen a teacher blow up like that and I definitely never expected it from him.”

11. It’s a deal!

“Alcoholic English teacher in 9th grade: if you buy me a Johnnie Walker black, you are guaranteed to pass the class.”

12. Over the line.

“Had a fairly new teacher. She’d been with is a few months and it was her first year teaching.

There was a dude who was acting up in class. Teacher wound up yelling at him “(Name)! Would you just shut the f*ck up!?”

Felt so bad for that teacher. She legit started crying and apologizing. She was convinced she was going to get fired. The dude she yelled at was well known as being a clown.

He actually went to the admins and told them he 100% deserved it and it wasn’t her fault at all. Everything turned out fine.”

13. An honest mistake.

“In front of a class of 13 year olds a female teacher asked a student to go ask a Male teacher if he had any floppy d*cks.

She meant floppy discs.”

14. This is awful.

“Man old teachers can be the worst.

We had an old German substitute teacher at my high school. Like so old it looked like he could collapse at any given time. He told us about how he used to be a Nazi back in WWII. I guess this is also the time to mention that my school was predominantly white.

We had maybe 20 black students total. The sub had asked one of these students to bring him a stapler or something like that, which the student the brought him. His response, which got him fired immediately, was something like “Wow I didn’t expect one of your kind to be helpful. A lot of you people are like monkeys.”

Pretty sure the only reason that student didn’t punch him in the face is because the teacher would’ve crumbled.”

Now it’s your turn!

In the comments, tell us about the worst things you’ve ever heard a teacher say in front of a classroom.

We look forward to hearing from you!

People Share the Worst Things They’ve Heard Teachers Say in Front of Classes

I feel bad about this now, but I remember that way back in my Freshman year of high school in gym class, we were misbehaving, and a substitute teacher totally lost her sh*t, told us to “f*ck off” and walked out.

Wow! That was quite a moment. Of course, a bunch of 14-year-old boys thought it was pretty funny at the time, but now I realize that she must’ve been going through a hard time…or maybe she just had a terrible temper.

Whatever the case, the point is that sometimes teachers say bad things in front of classes.

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Never had it.

“During English class we were watching Tomorrow When the war began. Those of you who have seen the movie know they start the movie talking about s*x.

The teacher goes, ‘S*x is not that great, I have actually not had s*x’ He’s a full 30 year old man and says that to a bunch of 13-14 year olds.

Those were the days…”

2. That doesn’t sound right.

“Freshman year in high school a classmate called someone a “chode” in gym class.

The gym teacher asked him what that means and the student explained “A chode is a good student”.”

3. What?!?!

““At least half of you will be dead by the time you reach 20 years old”

To a class of 11 year olds…”

4. Imagine this…

“Teacher was using an example to illustrate a concept. He was a very nice, bubbly man, we all liked him.

He points at a random student and says: “For example, Bob, imagine you’re adopted-”

About half the class cringed as they knew what Bob was about to say: “Um, I am adopted”

You could see the gears turning in the poor teachers mind omgohfuck I can’t say sorry because that implies that being adopted is bad, omgohfuck

The silence was palpable as he tried to think of something to say, he eventually just turned to another kid “….are you adopted?” “no” “Ok so, imagine Steven is adopted-” lollll poor guy.”

5. Oh, man…

“The father of a class-mate died in a motorcycle accident, he went into a corner too fast and crashed into a tree.

A couple of days after the accident (which was the first day my class-mate went to school again), our physics teacher decided that it is a good moment to teach the “speed doesn’t kill you, acceleration does”-lesson. With the example of a motorcycle driving into a tree.”

6. Uhhhh. Creepy.

“He told our whole English class quite seriously that for his 30th birthday he wanted two 15 year old girls to sit on his lap, and he even named which ones.

I don’t know what he was telling us for, maybe he thought we would pressure them into doing it or something.”

7. Good aim.

“New year, new teacher and his introduction was: “If you are loud I will hit you with the chalk”.

We all thought it was very funny but the next day we learned what doom was because he never missed.”

8. It’s Daddy.

“I had a professor that had given us an in class assignment.

He was a sh*tty teacher and we were first year students so we didn’t finish it and he told us to take it home and finish it and when we were done to “bring to me. Bring it to daddy.”

He was Greek and didn’t know the context, but he was the head of the department so we all held back our giggles and left.”

9. Rude!

“She read out my name and looks at me and says , “Your parents named you this?””

10. Awful.

“I once had a substitute teacher for my health class and he went on this long rant about how r*pe can be justified.

So many people complained about him.”

11. It’s their fault!

“I had an art teacher that got caught drinking. Apparently someone from the previous period told on her.

The vice principal came into our class and told her to come with him. We all heard her yell “they drove me to drink” from the hallway.”

12. Hahahaha. Wow!

“His name… “Harry Balls”.

No .. really.. he was a substitute teacher who wrote his name on the board and said, ” I will give you 3 minutes to laugh, but then we gotta get to work.”

13. An eye for an eye.

“Worst thing and also best thing. History class.

Kid punches the kid in front of him in the back of the head.

Teacher sees this and says, “now he’s gonna punch you in the head and your all gonna sit there and watch because there’s nothing you can do about it”.”

14. Bad teacher.

“Had an English sub.

He was clearly in a hungover state taking naps on an hourly basis. When he is awake he’s not being a good “teacher” he would cuss openly infront of the class, ask us what we were doing (we didn’t know) and one time he was hitting on some freshman girl loud enough for his flirts to be heard by the whole class.

He was later removed for “unknown” reasons.”

15. A line was crossed.

“”I’ll squeeze your balls, little man!”

It was an all guys high school and the teacher was the headmaster/a catholic brother/teacher. He was saying this as a follow up to a kid acting up and being a wise ass.

He says “oh, you think acting up means you have balls?” Kid says “yeah” amd then he responds to the kid with that gem…

Everyone was weirded out and thought a line got crossed.”

What’s the Best Way to Show Someone You Love Them? Here’s What People Said.

Love makes the world go ’round.

The older I get, the more I realize that having loving friends and family members is so important and is worth way more than anything else in this crazy world thƒat we live in.

What’s the best way to show someone you love them?

AskReddit users weighed in on this important question.

1. Show some interest.

“Pay attention to the things that they’re interested in.

Showing interest in things they like goes a long way.”

2. That’s love!

“My husband shovels the driveway right before I come home from work, turns on my coffee while I’m in the bathroom, records my favourite show if I’m not home.

Now THAT is love!”

3. Knowing.

“Knowing when they want you to help and knowing when they want you to just be present.

It sounds really boring and unromantic, but occasionally when someone is really down or stressed, they don’t want you to White Knight their problem for them.

Don’t tell them “here’s what I’d do…” when what they want is empathy and a good listener.”

4. Figure that out and you’ll be good.

“Everyone has a different love language.

The best thing you can do if you truly love someone is to find out what theirs is.”

5. Good stuff.

“Take pleasure in cooking together in the kitchen.

Also, do thoughtful things for no particular reason other than to show true affection.”

6. Here you go.

“Honesty, compassion, and presence.

Be consistent in your support, and understanding with failures. Show them they have intrinsic value. They are not a task, a bank, or a laborer. They are not a dollar bill. Love is days in and tears soaked up on a steady shoulder.

It’s laughter at inside jokes and comfort with habit. Love is sharing yourself with a person and knowing they will do the same.”

7. The small things.

“Do little things. My partner had never been with someone who made an effort.

I make his lunch for work while he’s getting ready to go or I buy him socks when he needs new ones but doesn’t say so.

Small things matter.”

8. Quirky is good.

“Appreciate their little quirks.

They might already feel self-conscious about them, and they hope that the person they love is not going to judge them for it.”

9. That’s nice.

“Buy them food if they can’t afford it and never ask for any money in return.”

10. What are you into?

“Sit down and talk to them about their hobbies.

If they’re into art, ask what kinds. Ask why those artists. Ask about method or preferred medium. If they’re into music, same thing: genres, eras, soloists, etc.

Get involved. Learn about them. And when you feel comfortable enough, try and find something they might like but don’t know yet.”

11. What’s best for them.

“Put what is best for them before what is best for you. That doesn’t mean catering to every whim and enabling selfish behavior, but genuinely prioritizing their needs over your own.

We all would like to think that we would be the “let her go, take me instead” hero in the movie that sacrifices his own life for the one he loves, but are we willing to do that on a small scale, day to day basis?”

12. Every single day.

“Show it to them each day and each moment with your actions. Be considerate of them before you act and keep them in mind at all times.

You will never need to say I love you because you show it to them all the time.”

13. There’s that…

“Telling them is usually a pretty good start. The rest varies.

Some people like me prefer cuddling up to a TV show or something, but others would appreciate getting a small gift or doing a chore for them.

No harm in asking them to see what they like most.”

14. Good advice.

“Remembering their interests or what they say they like in general and planing dates accordingly.

I have quite a good memory (most people actually do if they try), so when I am talking to a girl I like, I remember almost everything she says.

So when I speak to her after some time I mention things they said in quite a lot of detail. Then I always see them light up its very cute. Everbody just likes when you actually care and listen.

So try to pay attention when someone says something thats important to them. Hope this helps.”

People Open up About What Ruined Religion for Them

I’ve met people over the years who’ve told me long stories about how they were raised in very strict religious families and they eventually became so turned off by the rules and what they saw as hypocrisies that they eventually abandoned the whole thing.

Swore it off forever.

And I guess that makes a lot of sense if a certain kind of religion is forced on you from a young age and you eventually get tired of it.

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about what ruined religion for them.

1. There’s a lot of that.

“That people would try to force their religion onto me and make me feel like I was a bad person if I didn’t have the same beliefs as them…”

2. That’ll do it!

“Was told that dinosaur bones were planted in the ground by Satan to trick us into believing in evolution.”

3. That’s rude.

“Learning that my Mom got alienated and bullied after she tried creating a single mom’s club at our church.”

4. Blind faith.

“My parents told me at a young age that I would go to hell for asking the question “how do we know god is real.”

They could have simply said to read the Bible or something like that.

But instead they told me that I would go to hell, I guess it was the idea behind “blind faith”.”

5. Terrible.

“My infant brother’s death.

I was very little when he died at 3 days old, but it always bothered me being taught that Jesus was the only man that ever lived without sin. I thought “what could this helpless little baby have done that was a sin? He never even cried?”

When I asked my very catholic grandmother about it she told me to watch what I say because I was being blasphemous.”

6. Shattered faith.

“When I came to the realization that trusted authorities did hurt and damage children and gaslight the communities that literally supported the church through personal sacrifice and sincere generosity.

It was the absolute definition of disgrace and I am in agony that it was ever even tolerated.”

7. That’s extreme.

“Being kicked out of Christian school prior to the third grade because my Mom bought the wrong edition of the Bible.”

8. Not good enough.

“The non-answers to all my questions as a kid.

“You just have to have faith” is a dumb way to respond to an inquisitive mind.”

9. This is ridiculous.

“In the third grade my teacher (who was a good person) didn’t believe that cavemen existed because they weren’t mentioned in the bible.

My teacher gave my class a lecture about how cavemen didn’t exist despite there being a lot of evidence. In the fourth grade my teacher was required to teach the theory of evolution to the class by showing a documentary she also gave a lecture on why evolution was fake.

During my time in middle school i realized that it was all crap.”

10. Hypocritical.

“How hypocritical the people in church were.

They would judge you and condemn you for drinking as a teenager yet I would see the pastor and all the deacons out drunk and driving home at friends houses whose parents went to the church.”

11. Wow.

“My family went to a large church when I was young.

One day the pastor was on the news because it turns out he lived a second life at strip clubs and got arrested for kidnapping and pistol whipping a guy who owed him money.

That was the first time I questioned my faith. How could a person act so stone-cold confidently on stage about everything he was preaching and be a total fraud?”

12. Your eyes were opened.

“The first world religions class I took in college.

Realizing other people in other faiths also believed their religion was true gave me the courage to consider maybe Joseph Smith didn’t really see God and Jesus in a forest in 1820 a few years before sticking his head in a hat to look at magic rocks that helped him translate golden plates inscribed with the history of Jesus visiting North America and a Jewish family sailing around in a wooden submarine lit by rocks god touched to make them glow.

Then I thought, “yeah none of that happened”.

And it was all over for me.”

13. The last straw.

“I grew up very religious. My father killed himself when I was young. We were back in church before my sister and I went back to school.

The first day back at church, it seemed that the sermon was tailor made for us, as the preacher went on about suicide being against God’s will and there was no chance to repent, so those who commit suicide had no chance at redemption.

Essentially: “Don’t kill yourself. You end up in Hell. Your family will never see you in the Kingdom.”

That was the last thing a teenage, rebellious, Shagnasty needed to hear. I quickly disassociated myself from the organizational part of the church. I occasionally went to Church camp and other events with big groups of kids my age, but I never went back to church again.

As one final middle-finger to that pastor, I later banged his daughter when we were on a trip to Ichthus Festival.”

“I was a freshman in college in 1995 at Clemson.

This was the inaugural season of the Carolina Panthers, and because the stadium in Charlotte hadn’t been completed yet, they played their home games at Death Valley.

It was cool, the town is well equipped for tailgating and stuff. But not on Sunday. Sunday is church day.

The donations. Not the souls that weren’t saved. It was the money.”
