13 Ridiculous Reasons People Lost Their Jobs

Losing your job sucks. It can mess with your head and your self confidence.

Getting fired brings so any new worries, at a time when you don’t have the headspace to deal with them.

But it’s even worse, when you’ve already got a lot going on.

1. How long is too long though?

Are we talking days? Hours?

A good boss might have suggested a nice fiber supplement.

2. I’m sensing a theme

Why are employers so obsessed with potty breaks?

What do they think you’re doing in there?

3. They were afraid she’d spend all day crying in the bathroom?

This one is so heartless I don’t even know what to say.

Image caption: Whisper

4. Don’t they know there’s a movie about this?

They were afraid she’d stay after hours to make amazing new flavors of pie.

Image credit: Whisper

5. What a headache

Whether or not it’s wrongful termination, you gotta hope karma gets them in the end.

Image credit: Whisper

6. I guess that’s one way to avoid a lawsuit?

Or to get out of paying short term disability?

Image credit: Whisper

7. It’s called the Emergency Room for a reason, guys

It’s nice to actually see one where the good guy wins.

Image credit: Whisper

8. I guess their boss wasn’t a family man

Anti-family, even. Just wow.

Image credit: Whisper

9. There’s a special place in hell for this employer

I mean, what exactly is a “good excuse” if not this?

Image credit: Whisper

10. Pretty sure working there would give me a panic attack

That guy can join the other one in The Bad Place.

Image credit: Whisper

11. Do they think it’s a gourmet celery restaurant?

No, really, do they?

Image credit: Whisper

12. If they didn’t immediately get their job back then this one wins them all

I mean, you can get a doctor’s note for that right?

Image credit: Whisper

13. I feel like there’s got to be a better way to say it

Somehow I’m in awe of both the worker and the boss.

Image credit: Whisper

I don’t think I’ve ever heard such awful reasons–beyond the workers’ control–for being let go from a job.

These Customers Should Have Been Banned for Life

I’ve said for a long time that everyone should be forced to work in customer service at some point in their lives.

If nothing else, I think it would help people to be better, more empathetic customers.

Sadly, people behave in some pretty astounding ways when they are out in public, like these 10 customers who had no shame.

1. Consider yourself lucky it wasn’t on the floor

I wonder if the kid will ever live that story down.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Turns out, when you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go

Benefit of the doubt, he forgot where he was and thought it was a toilet stall?

Image credit: Whisper

3. 40-year-old frat party

Move over college, that’s some sociopathic-level hi-jinks right there.

Image credit: Whisper

4. And you thought pee was bad…

The toddler is one thing, but the entitlement and lack of shame wafting off that mom!

Image credit: Whisper

5. This is almost next-level “no F’s were given”

Accidents happen. Just pretend everything’s normal and no one will notice it was you.

Image credit: Whisper

6. I may never look at a fitting room the same

Was she related to the drunk guy though?

Image credit: Whisper

7. Customer Service in any industry is not paid enough

No matter what they are paid, it is not enough. The public are animals.

Image credit: Whisper

8. But wait, it gets worse

You thought it couldn’t get worse, didn’t you?
That will teach you to think.

Image credit: Whisper

9. Drugs and McD’s, never a winning combination

If I turn my head and squint and try really hard I can think of grosser places.

Image credit: Whisper

10. Who knew K-Mart was a popular hookup spot?

To be fair, it seems like no one is using the restroom for its intended purpose, so why not?

Image credit: Whisper

I hope every one of these poor Customer Service employees has health insurance with excellent therapy coverage, because oh my goodness.

Can you imagine walking in to find ANY of this? Please don’t tell me you have a worse story, but if you do, share it in the comments.

Terrible Reasons Why People Got Fired

No one likes to getting fired. When the economy takes a turn for the worse, sometimes it can’t be helped.

And then there are times when it seems like maybe the boss is to blame.

Here are 12 reasons why some truly bad bosses gave their employees the axe.

1. They say “know your worth”

But do they mean it though? Honestly, the nerve.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Last one hired, first one…

Sacrificed at the altar of marital harmony? Eesh.

Image credit: Whisper

3. Do as I say, and as I do

Even if it’s totally illegal. Wow!

Image credit: Whisper

4. Yelling at doggos crosses a sacred line

They say you can tell a lot about the way a person treats their dog.

But should the dog have even been there at all? Was this a trick?

Image credit: Whisper

5. Toddlers gonna toddle

And they all fall down.

Image credit: Whisper

6. Lying liars lie

Seems like maybe HR was jealous.

Image credit: Whisper

7. Sorry, you’re out of sick days

Maybe next time cough on your boss and he’ll send you home instead of firing you.

Image credit: Whisper

8. Pretty sure it wasn’t the breaks

Pretty sure they didn’t want to pay for maternity leave.

Image credit: Whisper

9. Sounds like a really fun office

But if we’re honest, haven’t we all been that person at work?

Image credit: Whisper

10. Invent teleportation or you’re done

It’s not your boss’s job to figure out the schedule. Oh wait…

Image credit: Whisper

11. I’ll fire you before they can fire me

Oldest trick in the book.

Image credit: Whisper

12. Honestly, should’ve seen it coming

Can’t risk being reported for sexual harassment, right?

Image credit: Whisper

Frankly, those bosses sound pretty awful.

As annoying as job hunting can be, I think most of these people would be better off in new jobs.

What do you think? Have you ever been worried a truly bad boss was going to fire you over something stupid? Tell us in the comments!

People Talk About Their Experiences with Night Terrors

I have a lot of weird unpleasant dreams.

When I was little, they called them night terrors, although what I have now is not on the level of what most people describe as night terrors.

No matter the intensity though, no one wants to wake up screaming and gasping for breath.

Even though it’s pretty embarrassing, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Here are 11 people’s confessions about their own night terrors.

1. Oopsie Daisy

The only solution is to change schools.

Or apply for a single room.

Image credit: Whisper

2. That’s one way to handle it

Although at some point REM Rebound could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Image credit: Whisper

3. That’s… some extremes of emotion

I think the question we all want to know is…
who are the sexy dreams about though?

Image credit: Whisper

4. Honestly, it’s a mystery

My 8th grade teacher would ask what you ate before bed.

(He recommended cheese, mustard, and pickles if you wanted crazy dreams.)

Image credit: Whisper

5. Or maybe it’s just reincarnation ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s as good an explanation as anything.

Image credit: Whisper

6. I… guess it depends who you date?

There’s got to be someone with a nightmare fetish out there, right?

Image credit: Whisper

7. That’s… I mean…

At least you know they’ve got your back?

Image credit: Whisper

8. I wonder if they fine you for that?

If so, the neighbors better be footing the bill.

Image credit: Whisper

9. It’s good to have friends and neighbors

Maybe a Thundershirt would help.
Not even joking.

Image credit: Whisper

10. In all seriousness though

It’s really not a laughing matter, especially to the afflicted sleeper.

Image credit: Whisper

11. It’s all part of the job

He could show the other guy a thing or two.

Image credit: Whisper

It really can be very stressful, and it seems like there’s no great solution.

But it’s definitely not something you should be ashamed of.

According to a poll conducted by 60 Minutes & Vanity Fair, 56% of Americans say they believe in love at first sight.

Parents Talk About the Things About Their Kids that Drive Them Crazy

It’s been said that being a parent is like watching your heart walk around outside your body. That’s gotta be a tough adventure to pursue. Even tougher when that same heart starts screaming and driving you insane and annoying you in new and innovative ways every day because they have no independence or self-reliance or access to beer.

So, what to do? What happens when the light of your life becomes the bane of your day?

In the case of these parents, they decided to vent their frustrations on the internet.

10. Do it anyway

That’s just kinda how all kids do, isn’t it?

Retainers are the absolute worst though.

2. Scream queen

It’s like their favorite thing in the whole world.

1. Every minute

Gotta nip that in the bud right away.

Couples Discuss the Moments They Knew They Wanted to Get Married

Some people believe in love at first sight. Personally, I’ve always been a bit suspicious of the notion.

Sure, we all get infatuated with someone upon introduction from time to time, and maybe occasionally that will lead to a lasting relationship, but it’s at least as likely that it will fade as you get to know them, or not be reciprocated, etc etc.

I think the real moments that we know someone is “the one” are a little less magical and a little more magically mundane than that, and they usually come after a long time spent together.

Let’s see if these confessions from real couples can back me up on that.

10. Being everything

Find someone who can’t help but build you up.

Source: Whisper

9. The healing

If all it takes is being silly I oughta be drowning in love.

Source: Whisper

8. Just watch

When your world is small but beautiful.

Source: Whisper

7. The goof

Somewhere between sensual and silly.

Source: Whisper

6. Fearless protector

It’s hard to feel safe after something like that.

Source: Whisper

5. Time out

Hey man, rules are rules.

Source: Whisper

4. The con job

I…really need to know more details about how this worked, exactly.

Source: Whisper

3. Hit it

Find someone who shares your passions.

Source: Whisper

2. Blue jeans

That magic kiss that seals the deal.

Source: Whisper

1. Spider man

Did you share a rainy upside down kiss though?

Source: Whisper

Have you had a “I’m gonna marry this person” moment?

What was it? How did it work out?

Interesting Stories About What It’s Like To Be Sterile

The terms “sterility” and “infertility” are often used interchangeably, though there are distinctions in the world of medical professionals.

Both terms refer to an inability to create offspring (or to put it in a less creepily clinical way, have kids) and can be a significant issue in the lives of many.

It can happen to anyone, for a huge number of reasons, and be temporary or permanent. In other words, there’s just no knowing who it might strike. Here are some stories from people who have been there.

10. Big surprise!

A sterile diagnosis can’t really be 100% sure…

Source: Whisper

9. Shoot your shot

Is this a really weird sequel to A Christmas Story?

Source: Whisper

8. Stay

Absolutely tragic.

Source: Whisper

7. Oh boy

Remember, there’s always adoption!

Source: Whisper

6. The end

It may sting for now, but who shares your genes is not as important as who shares your love.

Source: Whisper

5. It’s a miracle!

Or a misdiagnosis, but, either way, congrats!

Source: Whisper

4. Love me

Don’t beat yourself up, this is far from a dealbreaker for most people.

Source: Whisper

3. Have a heart

Better to build on honesty now.

Source: Whisper

2. Acting up

Gotta love a happy ending.

Source: Whisper

1. The bummer

Sometimes the feelings are as simple as that.

Source: Whisper

I think it bears repeating that if you can’t reproduce on your own, there’s always adoption. In the United States alone there are over 100,000 kids waiting for homes right now. And it might just be the most rewarding adventure of your life.

How would you feel if you found out you were sterile?

People Who Waited Until Marriage to Have S*x Share Their Experiences

I grew up in a religious family and was taught in no uncertain terms that it was an absolute moral necessity to save sex for marriage, and a mortal sin not to.

Cut to…several years later and I’ve never been married but have done the sex. So far this shirking of my moral duty hasn’t resulted in anything terrible, but we’ll wait and see, I guess.

I’ll never know what it would have been like had I stayed on that prescribed path, but the people behind these confessions do.
