If I had a nickel for every time I read a Reddit story about a coworker stealing OPs lunch, I’d have a whole lot of nickels
I do not understand stealing food unless you are poor and starving
We’d be rich
I would have exactly 11.4 nickels
Agreed.
You could treat yourself to at least one really wonderful lunch 😃
(I could too if I had the nickels because I enjoy listening to this channel as I get ready for work).
Like, a lot a lot.
First story could have been solved by the doctor going "yo anyone a home chef that wants to make an additional portion?" for 10/meal I think there'd be a couple people okay with the deal.
I would have gladly made him an extra leftover lunch with mine for say $10 a day.
But I grew up in a huge family and its taken years not to cook for a herd lol. I always have extra for lunches lol.
@@Emeraldwitch30my thoughts exactly, if you are getting paid very well and you get extra paid for a extra portion of your food…. Why don’t you just take an extra portion to make 10 extra dollars daily????
I will _never_ understand where the hell people get off thinking they're entitled to eat the food someone else bought with their money and act like that's okay. This is shit you learn during toddlerhood for God sake.
So true 😂. Looks like someone is still stuck in that phase
I’m with you on that. Every place has different ways around it. We had a rule at one job where if food wasn’t marked as belonging to someone specific, it was fair game. Came in handy when people wanted to bring stuff in to share and not leave out on the counter, and was super clear that it was the rule but people would still whine if they brought in leftovers in an unmarked container and it got eaten. Seriously, how hard is it to put a piece of tape with your name on it to prevent issues? Someone will always complain lol.
@@SunnyD74This is a great rule
@@bridgetmadden5716It’s a great rule for most people, but apparently some folks think everything is theirs, lol! Not sure how hard that is, not eating what isn’t yours.
I mean, it's also kinda dangerous. I'm from Louisiana, and I'm one of those spice nuts who keeps hot sauce on the ready. I'm pretty sure my food would drop some of my coworkers.
First Story: I thought this story will be like other lunch thief stories which involves OP spiking his own food to screw the boss over. But, what they did was even better! Hey, the doc did say they can order whatever they want.
Shame it had to come to an end. Sounded like an awesome trade off
School dress codes are such bullshit when it comes to things like hair, and I say that as a former teacher. If a boy wants to have long hair, why is that an issue? Hair grows, how is it unnatural?
I had to have natural hair colour or black or navyy. Borrow a blonde hair band no not allowed a friend gave it odk
because if a boy has long hair he might be, and you might want to sit down for this it is shocking - gay!
I agree!
@dbnydnvn exactly! I used to think the same about they wouldn't let the girls in the place I worked at wear trousers in winter unless it was for religious or health reasons. And likewise, boys weren't allowed to wear shorts in summer. I think being warm/ cool is a pretty big health reason, but go off I guess? Considering that was the least of the problems with that place I can't say I regret quitting.
My old schools dress code for boys hair was can't go past your eyebrows or down past your shirt collar.
Story 3 + 4: Overtime seems to cause problems, either because someone doesn't want to pay it or someone winds up staying behind for so long due to incompetence resulting in massive overtime.
Labor is usually one of the things a business spends the most on, and it’s the cost they can blame on their employees instead of just accepting it as a cost of running a business. That makes it a VERY contentious issue lol
The real sad irony is companies 1) only hire the bare minimum number of workers, 2) resist paying overtime when something disrupts their tight time constraints as much as they can get away with, 3) make hiring criteria somewhat random to deny applicants and get a tax break for being "understaffed", and 4) spread propaganda pretending no one wants to work.
@@BunnyQueen97 You say that as if that justifies or in any way validates when companies try to avoid paying their workers. That is simply part of running a business. If you cant afford to pay your employees a living and adequate wage for their work, you simply cannot afford to be a business. Employees paychecks are supposed to be of top priority. After all, without people willing to work for you, you would have to do all that work yourself.
I work in a very similar environment(residential home disability carer) and we didn’t get any extra overtime pay. I’ve done 39 hour shifts before and only got basic pay
Of companies didn't want to pay overtime they need to have an adequate staff and manage their schedules appropriately. Some employees know the rules and WILL take advantage of them if the companies keep taking advantage of the employees.
I have a mate who was suspended from his high school for having an afro. He shaved his head while he was suspended, but his school decided to expel him, even though his parents were paying $10,000 a semester for him to attend. His parents contacted the media & it became a national issue & his parents successfully sued the school.
A lot of dress codes are inherently racist as they try to force people of non-Caucasian ethnicities to conform to Western ideals.
I love bizarre school dress code violations. Reminds me of the time in high school when my sister got detention because her socks didn't completely cover her ankles
Detention for showing ankles?! What is this, 1802?!
I'd love to hear their reasoning. Are the ankles DISTRACTING? Are YOU usually distracted by ankles tucked underneath a chair, Mr. Superintendent? Why have you been looking at my daughter's ankles, Mr. Superintendent?!
The more I type this, the more I start to wonder if most school dress codes are written by people with weird fetishes.
@@ArcanineEspeon No, Catholic school
oh no the school staff can't work if they are distracted by naked lusty ankles lmao
A girl in my school got expelled because she wore a shirt that said "lets summon demons" on it, because it was horrifying and other students "feared for their safety." Another girl got suspended for wearing a rainbow shirt because it was a violation to display personal beliefs or religion(people wearing crosses or Religious clothing/accessories did not get in trouble unless it was anything besides Christianity)
Oh no! Not ANKLES!!! NAKED ANKLES?! THE HORROR!!
Story 6: Why do someone pull that scam where they ask someone to design something, "agree" to the price, and then just suddenly make excuses not to pay? The designer literally has the ability to undo all the work
Never underestimate human stupidity.
It happens all the time, unfortunately. Website design, digital art, ad creation, etc.
Just like how you don't mess with the I.T. guys, don't screw around with a web designer who holds your site in the palm of his hands.
Messing with an IT one-project contractor is even more dangerous than messing with staff IT guys. They have way less loyalty to your company, and way MORE determination to get every single paycheck they've been promised.
i think it might be because they've pulled something similar before and got away with it. it worked once before, it can work again and all that bullshit.
Our dress code at school was pretty good, the students didn't dress too slutty or anything like this. There was no issues with hair, and my nephews class had a teenaged boy who always had long thick hair and it grew pretty fast. One of the new teachers had issues with boys having long hair and she tried to go on some sort of power trip. She got so flustered over the hair issue and the principal letting it slide, she was caught verbally abusing her male students over hair and was caught trying to cut one of the students hair she was fired on the spot. This teen boy would grow his hair long just to donate it to locks of love twice a year and he still does at 35 and his his two children a boy and girl also love to grow out their hair to do the same as their father.
"You weren't allowed long hair unless you had native american ancestry"...well that's racist AF. The school is aware that there are hundreds of nationalities and ethnicities where long hair is the style, right?
I agree but it's because long hair is more viewed as spiritual in certain ethnicities/religions. Forcing certain native tribes to cut their hair is like trying to force a Sikh to not wear a turban.
The wording on it's own is lawsuit.
It’s not about whether or not it’s the “style.” For some Native American tribes, length of hair can be of great significance. I remember reading about a Native American man (a very long time ago) who thought his mother had died because white men cut his hair short. They did that to force him to conform to their standards, but in his culture, you only cut your hair short if your mother dies. He mourned the loss of his mother for YEARS and was absolutely shocked when he found out she was alive.
@@kranberry3318still racist though. Whether or not your entire race decides to hold significance in something shouldn't bar an individual from being able to do what they want with their own body for their own reasons.
First story:
The fact the boss didn’t notice that a ENTIRE OFFICE of people where ordering thousands of dollars of food for 2 months is insane
To be fair to him, noticing that would require him to actually think about someone other than himself. /s
Entitled woman: make my website, I will pay!
Entitled woman: doesn’t pay
Entitled woman: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME
The 3rd story I relate to so much. I got forced into working a solid 60+ hours because no one came to take over. Worst bit is…we HAD staff, they just point blank refused because they knew i couldnt leave. Aloooooooooooot more happened for the home to eventually get completely shut down and most of the staff arent allowed to work in care/medical professions ever again.
The stories i could tell you about my time working in care would 100% end up on r/thathappened because they are so unbelievable that if you havent seen case studies about incidents similar or seen the incidents in person you wouldn’t believe it. Youd be understandably sat there thinking “thats bullshit no way a carer/nurse would do that” but you would be very surprised.
I dont know how to use reddit properly but one day i might try offload my work stories there.
That story sounds like the company I work for now-one that runs a lot of houses like the one described. I don’t work in direct care, but I hear stories about staff not showing up for shifts all the time-usually when the staff they were supposed to replace left early and caused a breach in supervision.
My younger sister told me a very sad story about a terrible nursing home. A woman placed her elderly mother who had dementia in this facility. She called daily asking how her mother was doing, how she was settling in, her health, etc. Staff always assured her that her mother was doing fine. One day, staff called her and notified her that her mother was unresponsive that morning and was sent to the ER. Upon arriving at the ER, she was told her mother had severe bed sores (aka pressure sores) and was badly dehydrated. All the assurances she had gotten from the nursing home staff were bull. Her mother was neglected. It was heartbreaking. It made me more determined to keep my dear stepmom who had dementia at home as long as I could to avoid placing her.
@@kristashafer93098 that’s why one has to visit, often, and unannounced. Keeps the staff on their toes!
@@kristashafer93098 Tell me she sued because thats an easy lawsuit.
First Story: Thats one way to screw over a lunch thief lol. The doc did say that everyone could order whatever they want if he stole their lunch
Second Story: Why do Karens always ask for the manager like they are going to do anything different? I honestly hoped she didn’t notice neither but I mean she wanted that 10% discount so she got it
Comment: Lmao
Third Story: Its insane how companies will decide to put in more effort in getting more staff the moment an employee finds a loophole in their terrible choices and exploit it for more money
Fourth Story: That was easy overtime pay right there. People should learn how to listen
Fifth Story: This honestly sounds more like a power trip to me. Why does OP have to live uncomfortable and the roommate gets to live comfortable? Well, he got what he wanted but not quite exactly
Sixth Story: That is exactly what happens when u try to scam someone out of their work. If OP didn’t still own the domain name then OP would’ve been screwed but OP already had that so screw this lady
Seventh Story: Honestly, school dress codes have some stupid rules to them. A lot of them I agree, but calling a shirtless Bruce Lee as "nudity" is stupid af
Comment: This further proves my point of dumb dress code violations
Cold is better than heat, with cold you can just put on clothes, with heat you can't do anything; undress or buy a fan, not really practical
Whoever called out shirtless Bruce Lee as nudity is very insecure about shirtless guys.
Something very similar happened to me as did with the third story, but on equal terms. I was a substitute supervisor at a house for minor immigrants, think kids between 14-17 coming in without their parents. The shifts we had required 2 people during the afternoon shift, and one person during the night shift (and like OP, sleeping shift that was less paid). It usually worked so that you started on Monday morning and left Wednesday morning with a 3 hours break in the middle of the day, and after that you where done for the week. Meanwhile the day-shift that assisted from around noon until 8pm. This was the standard, but a problem arose when wednesday morning came by, and I got a call from my boss saying that my replacement ended up being sick, and asked if I could take the wed-fri shift as well, with overtime pay, which here is *150%* of regular pay. Of course I said yes, because I had no plans, and this would effectively give me 3 weeks of pay in one week.
They where always trying to avoid this being an issue, but being understaffed sucks and sometimes you just have to bite the bullet on these points. It is something I *don't* recommend however, despite being a "relaxing" job, I was exhausted by the time I was off work, and almost slept the entire friday after I got home.
4th story... honestly op, some people *really* can't deal with heat, me included. for me 70 is on the higher end of what I'm comfortable with without feeling like I'll constantly sweat. With cold at least you can dress up, but there is only so much you can do to deal with heat
Not to mention, having the thermostat set lower usually increases the bill, since it's working more.
Yeah I think OP is the bad guy
Here I am, not thinking 70 is all that bad, but then I remember not everyone lives in Las Vegas climate, lol
Buy a space heater op.
Literally just put on a long sleeve shirt
Giving the doc in the first story the best benefit of the doubt (You don't see many lunch theives openly admit to the theft, and you NEVER see them actually pay for it or offer to replace it):
Assuming he's doing this because he really likes home cooked meals and either can't or is unwilling to cook, why not take that money that you offer *after* stealing a lunch and just offer to pay your staff to just *make you* lunch? I mean, cooking for other people *can* be a pain in the neck, but 10-20$ for a plate of glorified leftovers sounds like a nice bonus when you're already preparing a lunch for yourself.
Dude was definitely trying to flex, because the way he went about that was soooo dumb, and he deserved the lunch tabs that he got lol
I hate food thieves, but most just steal lunches and never admit it. If the doc was willing to pay for it I'd just bring in an extra portion and take the money 🤷 Then again I prefer not to leave the building for lunch so I'm a weirdo lol
So one day I wore my new short shorts to school and everyone complained and teased me, slut shamed, whatever... but for some reason (this was a smaller, brand new school) they didn't actually have a dress code yet. I wasn't even particularly 'testing my limits' either, I was a stupid 13-year-old, and it was hot out, also they were pink. Anyhow, the strangest part of the story is that none of the teachers said anything... until like a month later when I heard one of them talking and she said "Wendy has been told not to wear some of her shorter shorts ever again." (Only with my real name, true anecdotes, fake names... yadda yadda). But no one had ever said anything to me, no teachers or the principle or anything, at least. So I apparently triggered some sort of discussion about making a dress code, then decided never to wear that pair of shorts to school again of my own accord... well, not really... I didn't want to get bullied more... they found other things to bully me for, but that's a whole other story. And somewhere along the line, I guess I indirectly started rumors that I had been reprimanded? IDK, it was only mildly bizarre at the time, but as I hear more and more over-the-top outrageous dress code 'violation' stories on the internet, I think to myself; "I musta dodged one Helluva barrage of machinegun fire... dodging a bullet simple doesn't cover what I didn't go through."
So, uh... thanks random, uncaring universe; for not shitting on me in that specific instance back in the nineties.
Short shorts in the '90s? Unless they were Daisy Dukes, your school faculty is stuck in the 1950's.
@@JamesDavy2009 I guess that depends on your definition of 'Daisy Dukes?' Do they have to be denim? Because they weren't denim, but they were about that short, with the legs barely extending below the crotch.
@@Wendy_O._Koopa Yeah, even I think that's too short for a school setting.
i'll never understand american dresscode, who do they think they are to demand people wear their hair a certain way?
thats north korea levels of insane
It's a power play on the parents.
Kid should have come in rocking either a clown wig or a colonial powder wig.
@@aduckofsomesort Reagan killed that dream. Those who try to take the West back to that time are delusional and toxic. Nostalgia was seen as a mental disease when it was first being diagnosed.
Story 1: If your boss genuinely has the attitude "I have to keep working to pay your salary", or genuinely thinks they don't get lunch breaks, they have no business what so ever running a business, much less running a team for a business. Maybe it's different in other countries, but in my country you are required by law to take lunch breaks. You can't skip your lunch break even you wanted to if you are working 9 or more hours in one shift. And then the cherry on top is that when you are a boss, it is both your responsibility and your literal job to make sure your "underlings" get paid properly.
Story 6: repeat after me, people...
NEVER, EVER, EVER, MESS WITH THE IT GUY!
The IT people are the keystones of a business enterprise; and if one hires a freelancer/contractor, that person can cause problems if not properly supported.
Orthopedic surgeons are notoriously full of themselves. They all have massive egos because of being an orthopedic surgeon as one of the most difficult demanding skills a doctor can have. It’s one of the most difficult schools to pass so they always have massive egos and think they are above everybody else and have horrible bedside manner. They are very difficult to deal with.
@@aduckofsomesort You must be a new variation of duck, if you've got hands now! Is that what the surgery was for, to give you hands?!
I bet the other teachers at that school thought the return of the Bruce Lee shirt was HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
I'm not gonna lie. The thermostat op seems a bit like the bad guy. He has a right to tell you not to mess with the thermostat. Especially if he has to pay for it.
He absolutely is the bad guy. He can put on a sweater. Some people do really bad with heat, like me. 70 is hot. 65 is... okay, so long as I'm not doing anything.
I agree
Depends. It doesn't sound like op is paying the electric bill, but they could easily be covering another utility or contributing in other ways, like buying the groceries. We just don't really have enough info to know the full story. I mean I agree that 65 is a normal temp, but if I was told I didn't even get to have an opinion on the matter I'd be pissed. Especially if I tried compromising like op did. You do have a point, but to me the roommate seems to be on a serious power trip over the thermostat when there's several ways to cut down his electric bill, like leaving appliances unplugged until they're used or using cold water instead of hot whenever possible. Honestly if this were an AITA post I'd say ESH
@PyroRoadScout It doesn't matter if he's contributing in other ways, if someone agrees to pay for drinks on the condition you don't spend more than 20 dollars. You don't get to spend 25 dollars on the drink and then say, but I bought nachos for the table. Also he may very well have been doing those things as well. Perhaps the reason he's well off is due to being stingy and saving money.
@@PyroRoadScout OP didn't try compromising. OP decided to *manipulate* and *gaslight* the person who owns the house. If someone thinks 70 is too hot and the other person thinks 70 is too cold, the person who thinks it's too cold should put on a sweater. Or, OP can just leave, which would definitely be for the best.
I'm glad to hear RSLASH's comments and reactions again on Reddit stories. His commentary makes the channel...and, no, I'm not his mother. 😆
The thermostat one is nuts and was kinda confusing, did OP want it cooler or warmer than the person who owned the house? Either way, OP is an asshole for messing with someone else’s property like that. There are other ways to regulate your temperature and OP may be paying rent but they aren’t the only one living there and none of it is their property.
OP wanted it warmer -- they both felt too cold, but the owner would rather be cold than pay for more heating.
@@Ashebrethafe I never got the impression that both felt it was cold, just OP. Keeping it that cold unless is was in the winter would be the opposite of cheap as you actually have to cool down the house.
Beyond that, a quick google says that 65 is the ideal temperature for a room, and higher/lower than the 60 range is unhealthy, which leads me to believe OP was being a jerk and projecting their opinion of temperature
@@Ashebrethafe Even then, if the owner is willing to be colder than pay for more heating, the compromise would be OP spending a bit extra money meant to cover the difference in pay for the owner.
And that’s not at all malicious compliance, they just lied to their landlord/roommate. Nothing was complied to.
*First OP:* Now _that's_ some good MalCom.
Anyone else hungry after reading that story? Just me? Okay...
First Story: Malicious compliance at it's finest and most delicious. Bon Appétit.
The Thermostat story? Who else besides me was looking at 65 degrees and thinking what was the problem? 65° F sounds really nice right now!
Oh gosh, that's super cold for me. I got no muscle and little to no insulation in my body (malnourishment, probably), even 71 degrees makes me chatter my teeth.
65 is too cold for me, if its too cold i can't walk. there is something wrong with my ankle and if its too cold its like a knife is being stabbed into my ankle with every step i take. i need to use a heating pad or turn the temperature up to fix it and 65 is like just cold enough to be a problem. 70 is perfect for me.
To everyone saying 65° is too cool, tell you what? I'll trade my 97° with a heat index of 118° for your 65°. 65° is usually December for me.
65 is the lower limit of "comfortable" for me.
@@undeadprincess5726I'm with you on this I'm always cold probably due to my body permanently been in starvation mode and all the medication im on, basically I'm the only one who wears a winter coat in summer when everyone else is in shorts and t- shirts complaining its too hot, i even still use a hot water bottle in summer 🙈
My dad's school had a rule that hair could not hang below the eyes. So he'd gel it back. He stopped cutting his hair and by the last school year, he used so much gel that his hair didnt move when it was windy.
I personally don't like the thermostat guy's story.
If its the roommate's condo then he should have a final say at the temperature. Not to sound rude but the op can get his own place if he wants the temperature to be changed. Idk I feel there were more than one way to solve a problem
70 is the highest temp I would ever willingly tolerate in a house. Anything higher and I’m miserable and sickly, but anything lower and that’s what blankets, long sleeves, and pants are for(if I’m cold). If you ask me, the person in a shared home wanting the lowest temp should win because it’s easier to add layers than to shed them.
Also, his story was just him lying and breaking shit. No compliance, just malice.
The overtime stories show exactly why we need unions. Most large employers will take advantage of staff in every way they can. In my hospital HR decided to save by not replacing the first two nurses who booked off sick on every unit, which increased workload beyond our ability to provide adequate patient care and led to burnout and (of course) even more sick time. Without the union they would have literally worked us to death if they had been able to, but the union put a stop to it by bargaining mandatory staffing levels, which meant either hiring more nurses or paying double time for OT.
story 5: it was a tad too cold for you, so instead of putting on a shirt you decided to *checks notes* destroy the owners property... well done OP
Yeah, OP is all proud writing this stuff when they're actually a huge asshole. When it's too cold you can cover up, but when it's too hot, there's a limit to how much you can strip. .-.
@@tentenstories in theory you can take it all off, however indecent exposure is also a thing
@@NumptyMcGlumpty That and what if you're still hot after taking everything off ? XD
I have two magical words for OP:
Space heater
My dad likes to have the house a bit on the cold side during the winter, so I snag the space heater sitting in the garage, plug it in, and make my room perfectly nice and warm
Might cost a little extra on the electricity bill, but it’s better than tampering with the roommate’s property
as someone who medically can't tolerate heat, i would lose my fucking mind lol i WISH i could sit around in fluffy blankets and cozy socks all day without sweating my ass off and passing out.
True story: in school I dyed my hair auburn (think dark ginger). One b-word of a teacher told me that I had to cover it up, as it wasn't a natural colour. (It was natural - it just wasn't MY natural.) She was SO smug about it, too.
She handed me a scarf and insisted I wear it like a turban for the rest of the day to cover my hair. So I walked around school with a turban like a Sikh man. Except I am VERY white, and it was an all girls' school.
Several teachers stopped me and asked what I was doing, but I just gave them b-word's name and said "just doing what I'm told!" The scarf was confiscated first thing the next morning and I was assured I wouldn't have to wear it again... that teacher could never quite look me in the eye for the rest of my time at that school.
Story 5: Now that's an ass move if I've ever seen one.
The story about the interior decorators website seems better suited to r/prorevenge, especially since they didn't even fix it even after they got paid.
Coupon Story:
At my place of business coupons come in two types; 'dollar off' and 'percent off'.
There is a specific order of operations the register takes these discounts off; 'dollar off' first then 'percent off' on the remainder so if you had a $20 coupon and a 40% off coupon it would go 100-20=80 then 80-40%=48.
I've had many a Karen, Chad and so forth hand me 'percent off'coupons, I'd tell them the new total then they'd be incensed that the 'dollar off'coupon they handed me next didn't take off the amount they assumed it would.
The best one was during a Black Friday sale; this Karen had the luck of a 50% off coupon and five $10 off coupons. She spent a good ten minutes having me ring up her items and removing items so she would get as close to $100 as possible, then she handed over her coupons expecting me to be telling her her total was going to be $1 or less.
(Because the story took place years ago let's just assume her total was $100 before the coupons)
Me: "Your total comes out to be $25"
Karen: "ARE YOU RETARDED?! I GAVE YOU...!"
Me: *put my hands up like I'm being held at gunpoint*
Karen: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"
Me: "I'm informing my loss prevention team that I'm being yelled at" *while keeping my hands up in the air I make a pointing motion with my right hand at the security camera above my head*
Karen: "WHY DOES A RETARD LIKE YOU NEED TO CALL THE PEOPLE WHO CATCH THIEVES?! I'M NOT STEALING, I JUST WANT TO USE MY COUPONS!"
Me: "They're going to bring a manager over with them."
Karen continues to shout abuse at me until the manager and loss prevention people show up. I'm put behind the officers
Manager: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"
Karen: "THIS RETARD...!"
Manager: "If you don't lower your voice and change your choice of words I will have you thrown out of the store and banned."
Karen: "...she won't take my coupons off properly"
Manager: *looks at the coupons and the transaction* "The $50 coupons all come off first, making your total now $50. Then..."
Karen: "YOU'RE WRONG!"
The Karen was escorted out of the building without her items
That Bruce Lee t-shirt story has to be one of my favorite Reddit stories of all time
Mark Twain kid is such a mood ❤
1st story..reminds me of a thied we had back in the day. We had a lunch thief at this brew your own beer/wine business I worked at years ago. Turns out the thief's fav thing to steal was my chocolate pudding that I would bring most days.. So I went home and made new batch with 2 full bars of ex-lax mixed in. For context ex-lax is a laxative that used to come in chocolate bars like a small Hersey bar. I started bring them to work. Day 1 we all noticed the supervisor was making a lot of trips to the bathroom. Day 2..the same, by day 5 he was still stealing them so for the next week I made new batch with 4 bar of ex-lax in it. Day 6...we heard a large groan and a shriek come from the Supervisor's office. Dude totally crapped his pants and as he was running to the bathroom he left a nice brown/yellowish trail. Not sure why but my pudding and other ppls lunches just stopped getting stolen. Funny how that happens.
That Shirt Thing sounds more like double malicious compliance. If you assume a neutral language in the dresscode, the violation is tecnically real. And its still nudity. The solution is really creative. :)
the moment the doctor from the first story caught on, the only reasonable response would be if the whole staff got together and everyone spiked their lunches with things like extra strength laxatives or ghost pepper extract. He would quickly stop stealing lunches.
There was a time where one of my coworkers accidentally stole my sandwich, but he didn’t make it up to me by buying me a club sandwich in our snack bar.
Thermostat OP. That's not malicious compliance. That's just lying. You both deserve to be comfortable sure but your roommate is presumably paying utilities too and the fact that you only do your temperature is thus unfair
yeeeah, as someone who enjoys cooler temperatures OP is just being a sneaky d-bag
Right? I get 65 is cold for some people so they should have compromised to maybe like 67 or 68 or something, and also, he could put a sweatshirt on?? If you live with someone else, you have to compromise somehow
Literally just needs to put on a warmer shirt.
It also diddnt happen lol. Id love a demonstration of how you "kink" a thermostat coil into being off a specific amount lol.. you dont. Story either entirely fake or its a thermostat that has a rheostat in it.
re: dr stealing food: Haha, so funny. All benefitted from it. Was such a good deal for everyone. Money well spent to keep the office staff happy! :)
Good docs who know on which side their bread is buttered and know who is keeping their practice running don't steal their staff's lunch. They buy their staff lunch.I
I've worked with both the lunch stealers and the lunch buyers.
So, I went to a tiny high school. My graduating class was less than 80 people, but they expected more later. So they didn't seem to think we were important. A nice girl (I can't call her a friend, we barely spoke) got her nose pierced. And then had to take it out because it was "distracting" But zero people I knew that knew her had any issue with it. Not kids, not teachers... It was some random parent. I don't know who, I'd like to claim it was some bully person, but I didn't and still don't know who. If you have to hurt a random person to feel better about yourself...
I work in a hospital emergency room. I can tell you that doctors have filled their brains with so much knowledge that they have lost connection to the normal functioning of the world. I could totally see a doctor legitimately not thinking about the fact that buying other people lunch is the same as buying himself lunch. Most doctors I've seen barely notice what's going on around them.🤣
Last Story - In the early 60s, when my Dad was a kid (12/13) he was pull out of class because his hair was too long. My Grandmother marched in to the principles offs and said "I will cut my sons hair the way I see fit". The principal never bothered my Dad again. Fun fact: In the 40s my grandma was the only woman (in the munitions factory she worked at) allowed to test fire the 50 caliber rounds.
“Sit at home smoking weed even tho they’re in their late 20’s” *me sitting here smoking weed and watching r/slash while being 28* and?
42 and same. No shame in it.
Once you're past the age of 24 you're no longer allowed to do anything that isn't willingly allowing your soul to be sucked away from you. "Too old for video games, too old for weed, too old for cartoons, too old to be getting drunk" It's always so weird. Even been seeing stuff about how its weird to have an active sex life past your mid twenties. Any form of leisure ever is bad no matter what it is people are so fucking brainwashed. It's bizarre cuz this is very like boomer "i had it bad so u have to have it bad too" logic but it mostly comes from younger people nowadays. The social zeitgeist is a fucking circle
When I heard this, it implied joblessness and lack of trying, not just that they smoked.
For the first story - if the doctor had just offered to pay employees an extra $10-15 per leftover lunch, I'm pretty sure everyone could have won out. The doc gets their nice home-cooked meal without any effort. And for cheaper than ordering delivery. Meanwhile, the employees - I'm pretty sure it won't cost that much to prepare just a little bit more leftovers.
"I tried to keep it at 65° to save money" yeah I tried that once I gave up. I'm not sure how long I lasted though but it definitely wasn't the entire winter. There would be some days I would turn it back up to 70 or a little bit and then later turn it back down. Waking up in the morning was the worst.
I always find it funny that you can't wear what you want or have your hair as you like or being forced to wear makeup. And all this in a country where the inhabitants sees themselves as the most free in the world.
Petty people in a position of power, no matter how small, especially in schools, HATE you having freedom.
I grew up in Georgia. Our high school dress code did not allow any shorts of any kind. When the temperature got hot, girls could wear skirts/dresses but guys had to wear pants. We put together a petition to change the dress code and had support from all the teachers and principal. School board didn’t like it. So…all the girls who could sew made skirts for every senior boy. First announcement of the morning-“ Every boy wearing a skirt, please report to the main office.” The guys all had pants in their locker, but the principal took down all their info and presented it to the school board. Dress code was changed!
At my high school the admins sent one of my friends home to change because her shirt was offensive....It said "Big F, Little F what beings with F?" on the front "on the back it said "Four fluffy feathers on a Fiffer-feffer-feff" on the back. it was a Dr Seuss quote! She was banned from ever wearing the shirt
It goes to show that authoritarians can't take a joke and don't look at the big picture.
Regards to the story where the school would not let the student have long hair unless they were native American American well, I’m American and yes, it is part of our culture to have long hair even males, but I don’t think that we’re the only race that men had long hair. I would think a school allowing females to have long hair and not guys to have the option as well unless you’re native American could also be seen as the school being quite sexist. I remember having a friend who said he worked at a law firm that women were allowed to have pierced ears but guys could not, and he confronted HR and one of the founding lawyers that that’s very sexist and as a law firm and a lawyer they should know that that’s just welcoming a lawsuit they wind up changing it
The “ interior designer “ finally paid so OP should have given her the website
One of my favorite videos in a while. That's some good malicious compliance
Story 6: She did ask for "the website of the best interior design service in London". In the end, that is exactly what OP delivered...
Story one: Whenever I hear one of these office food thief stories, I have to wonder why the victims of the thief's pilfering don't get locking lunch boxes. With bicycle chains to lock them to the refrigerator. And an alarm. I realize that someone as entitled as the jerk in this story would probably try to cut his way into the lunch box, so I wouldn't be getting something soft-sided.
The workplace food thief must be a very common problem. Amazon carries a fridge locker that looks almost like a small dog crate, and they can't keep them in stock because they sell so fast.
My cousin had to deal with similar, but she eat both the meal she stole AND the meal she ordered, so my cousin and his coworkers started ordering high calorie foods and this woman ballooned up
From a size 6 to a size 12 , he told me that if she keeps it up she’ll have to wear moomoos
Good on OP for changing the website and leaving it as is after the payment.
that last one reminds me of a story my husband told me about when he switched schools and went to one that had the same rule, he could have told them he's half Southern Cree (which he is), but instead he shaved the sides of his head and walked in rocking a neon pink spiked mohawk. he changed the color every couple weeks because there were no rules about hair color unless you were in ROTC (which he wasn't) it was just about boys' hair being below their ears.
dresscodes isent a thing on schools here in norway. same at university. the only places with some type of "dresscodes" is for the classes where you need different type of safety gear etc. i would think that if someone went to school with a t shirt (or some other pice of clothing) that had just a ton of racistic stuff on it then they might have been sent home, but that would probably be the extent of dress code vialiton here, maybe if you went to school completly naked you would be sent home to. but except for those two things? higely doubt it.
safety gear during specific classes is a 100% reasonable thing considering it keeps people safe. like you dont want someone using a chainsaw where you learn about logging etc and they have a pair of regular pants on and not using the safety ones that stopps the chainsaw in less than a second if getting true the outher layer (a LOT of threads around a mm thick that will stopp the mecanicsem in an instance massivly redusing the potential of damage and if any damage it would mostly be minor to your leg)
Story 1: I would have made an extra lunch and sell it to him for $10. Side business lol
I would've taken some electrical black tape and cut it to make it look like sensor bars and put it on Bruce Lee's nipples.😂😂😂. Also I would've encourage my son to find more shirts that were like that. Like a Statue of David and put the electrical tape over his dong lol.
Thermostat guy gives me bad vibes. I understand that it’s incredibly minor, and I’m not saying he was being abusive, but that was borderline gaslighting. I don’t think that’s cool. If I thought I felt stupidly cold at 65°, I would think I had a fever and be paranoid. I would feel crazy every time I was at home. All because he did something secret to make me stop believing reality. It might be difficult to come to an agreement on a temperature, but I don’t think that was a good way to handle it. And if the roommate found out, that would be so much worse than the conversation needed to come to an agreement.
It _is_ gaslighting. I keep seeing this story pop up and the CZcamsr reads it like it's funny, but no, it's not, especially if the person runs hot. I run hot. For me, 65 is fine, 70 is a sauna. I will get physically ill.
@@NotAFanOfHandles I honestly just didn’t want people glomming on me for using the term, so I went with the safe route and said borderline.
@@NotAFanOfHandles Also, yes. I’m the same way. I have to have the temp in the 60’s. I have Dysautonomia and therefore can’t regulate my body temperature. I’m always too warm, and I’ll turn bright red like a tomato.
@@Dank-Hillsame here. I have POTS and I can't deal with temperature change
@@NotAFanOfHandlesMy saying is, you can always put on more clothes. But at some point you can't take off anymore
HAPPY CANADA DAY YA HOSERS!
The thermostat malicious compliance sounds like Sheldon and Leonard.
For people who dont know much about aviation, the reason they dont allow for overtime is due to FAA guidlines, pilots and flight crew can only be on for their set hours because people being made to work overtime has been linked to atleast half a dozen airline crashes
No im not kidding
Story 7: I mean, I’m sure Bruce Lee invokes certain emotions in all of us.
Now that's what I call gender equality lol
The story about op who worked in a care home for people who couldn't care for themselves is that op should have filed a complaint with OSHA about the workplace and how they put little effort into finding a replacement staff member so that they could go home to get something to eat and take a shower and get some rest and then come back to work for their next shift
Website story is a re-run from older rslash vid😊
That last story about having hair below earlobes, I thought was going to end with him coming back from summer break having stretched out his earlobes with gages so his earlobes would be longer than his hair.
Goodmorning Rslash!
Excuse you? 65 degrees is "stupidly cold"? What?
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You move that thermostat an iota above 60, and you can damn well find yourself a new place to rent next month.
Spoken like a person from an island famous for its apples and devils.
[DELETED] always has the best stories! 🤣
Happy Canada everyone!! Another great episode from R/slash😁
Tbh, I'd gladly trade some restaurant prime rib for some home cooked food. I have more free restaurant food than I know what to do with and not enough time to cook. I really miss home cooked meals. When I visit friends and family they always want to go out to eat so even during holiday I rarely eat anything not from a restaurant. It gets old.
14:38 GMAN?!?!?
HI RSLASH BIG FAN ❤
Story 1: it took him two mothes damn
👍✌️🤟
that's the first time I've ever heard of a boy being dressed coded
Hi R/ Slash
I love the “Mark Twain” wig story response so much 😆😂
I don't think I ever experienced pearl-clutching from teachers or parents in my high school, at least when it came to wearing inappropriate shirts. As far as I can recall, no one wore anything too inappropriate, but someone was sent to the principal's office when I wore a shirt that sparked an argument over cavemen. It was a shirt that we received a few years earlier when we attended an engineers contest (For building a catapult) and someone thought it would be funny to reinforce an old statement that pissed me off back when we got those shirts. I told the teacher what it was and why it annoyed me, and they got detention over it. When he returned to collect his stuff, he threatened to beat me up after school, but nothing came of it, I think because someone informed the office of the threat and he got an even worse detention as a result.
Coworker was stealing my food, I put some flatline hot sauce in it, they never ate my food from that day on. They were literally sweating
Can someone tell me what “only 1% can be applied” means?
I've heard that Bruce Lee story before, so I didn't laugh that much this time, but it's seriously one of the funniest stories ever.
butbutbut.... meatloaf sandwiches!
So glad he posted early, this is good to listen to while in the shower.
For 10dollar, I would bring my boss extra leftover everyday.
Story 6: This man avenged all naive freelance developpers who never got paid for their work
Do others also hear a crackle in these videos, i don't hear it with other youtubers or music.
Wait, Americans out there regulating hair length for school? Wtf?
I've seen things like this across the pond and in said place's convict dump as well.
I hope that everyone is having a good Saturday!
Sitting in the Charlotte NC airport on a layover...
How can we not when a new video just dropped
School dress codes are so dumb sometimes. I remember once in school all the girls lined up by the wall whilst the teacher measured to make sure their skirts weren't more than 5cm above the knee. If they were more than 5cm the girls were told to pull their skirts down until they were at 5cm. So apparently it's better for them to walk around with their bums hanging out, but God forbid you see a bit of thigh
That school you went to was headed by a leg man.
