If it wasn’t for Doordash drivers, the pandemic would have taken its toll on us already. But they brought us comfort in the form of food that basically tucked us in like a blanket in the midst of global chaos. They’d also be the ones we have to thank for all the survived hangovers and Monday blues, spontaneous munches, dinner dates at home, you name it.

But while serving the hungry souls of America, Doordash heroes surely have seen all kinds of characters, from KFC Karens to hungry weirdos and customized delivery nerds. There is even a whole subreddit “DoorDash Drivers” which is not only a place where drivers hang out and get to know one another, but also share their adventures on duty. And trust me, it’s a whole world we didn’t even know existed!

Scroll down below to feast on some of their most memorable client stories delivered fresh to the comfort of your laptop.

If there’s one thing you learn after working for a big company — being a cog in a machine — is that people are expendable. And that’s precisely what Reddit user Durncha just realized.

The man has been a manager at a store for years and had a great track record. Superb sales numbers, impressive employee retention; the corporate office was very happy with his results. But it hated the way Durncha achieved them. You see, he actually listened to his team and treated them like human beings.

The manager went to countless meetings where he was schooled for caring, and eventually got kicked out for it.
In the end, he made a post about everything he went through on the subreddit r/AntiWork, and it perfectly captures how cold and inhumane the system can be.

One Reddit user wanted to vent after getting fired from a company he dedicated years of his life to

Image credits: TheStandingDesk (not an actual photo)

So he made a post, describing the corporate BS he had to deal with

People think the only losers in this story are the executives who just lost a valuable employee

The post "I Tried Fighting For My Employees, So Corporate Fired Me" first appeared on Bored Panda.

Anyone who’s in the dating game knows it can always turn sour for whatever reason. But this 20-year-old woman who goes by the Reddit handle Throwingawaylateeer has surely been caught by surprise after her 22-year-old date made a bizarre statement.

While spending time at the author’s place, the dude “said how he thought it was so strange that women give birth through the vagina but have periods from their butts.”

“I asked him what he meant by that and he said again exactly what he had said before. I kind of smiled, assuming he was very much just joking, and said ‘oh yeah, so weird’ thinking that he was going to start laughing soon to end the joke,” the author wrote in a now-viral post on r/AITA.

But there was no end to that joke, ‘cause apparently, it was no joke at all. Scroll down through the rest of this story and be sure to share your thoughts about the incident in the comment section!

Recently a woman shared how her date went sour after she realized the 22-year-old guy she is into is thoroughly convinced periods come out of butts

The author also gave some more context about the whole incident in the comments

And this is how people reacted to the story

The post Date Turns Sour After A Woman Has To Explain To A 22-Year-Old Dude That Periods Don’t Come Out Of Butts first appeared on Bored Panda.

It’s no secret that parenthood is an adventure that requires a lot of planning. Many soon-to-be moms and dads read countless books on “what to expect when you’re expecting” that offer advice and prepare them for the miracle of pregnancy. However, some things there do get left out. Like how to react when your SO completely disregards your wishes on how you want to deliver your child.

One woman who was trying to get pregnant found herself in a precarious situation after discussing childbirth options with her husband. In a post on the online parenting forum Mumsnet, the woman explained how she and her partner got into a big argument after telling him she prefers to have a water birth.

“He believes that the more pain you go through, the better your bond with your baby,” the author wrote. Thinking that the decision on where and how she should give birth is her choice, the woman felt surprised by her husband’s strong opinion and turned to the internet for guidance. Read on for the full story.

She wonders whether she was being “unreasonable” to think that the way she delivers her child is her decision

Here’s how people reacted to the woman’s tough situation

The post Husband Tells His Wife He'll Never Forgive Her If She Gives Birth Via Water Birth first appeared on Bored Panda.

There’s a saying, ‘When you marry someone, you also marry their family.’ And their wedding traditions — no matter how utterly bizarre they are.

Although the Reddit user by the name of ‘throwratonypan‘ didn’t have to chase and butcher a chicken in order to prove his love in front of fiancée’s family, like they do in Mongolia; his soon-to-be wife expected him to wine and dine with his future mother-in-law as part of their unusual family tradition. And if that sounds a tad sinister, well, you’re not the only one.

Love is universal, yes — but marriage traditions are not

And some of them are more downright bizarre than the others

Even MIL was okay with the groom not being the biggest fan of their family tradition

But the bride was still bitter about his choice

This is what people had to say about this uncomfortable situation

With all the interior design fails and questionable structural inspections that we've covered during the years, I say it's time we balance them out a little bit.

So let's take a look at the Twitter account 'Aesthetic Designs', a fun little online project that collects pictures from all over the internet to show the pretty side of architecture and interior design. Whether we're talking about concepts or real-life examples, cozy off-the-grid cabins or luxurious bedrooms, it has it all.

The regular uploads have earned 'Aesthetic Designs' 127K followers. If you like the images below, consider joining the squad well. There's no drama or anything. Just eye-pleasing buildings and spaces.

If you ever feel like you’ve seen it all, done it all, bought it all, then you clearly haven’t spent enough time on the internet. We might spend way more time online than your average Panda, but even we get surprised by some of the things we stumble across. To say that these make us do a double-take would be a disservice: there’s a third take and a fourth one, too.

One page that really caught our attention is the ‘Yup That Exists’ project, found on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and elsewhere. ‘Yup That Exists’ documents all the bizarre and unusual things that “you never knew existed.” From strange facts and products that will raise more eyebrows than we can count to wonderfully weird things that you’ll want to share with your friends.

Scroll down for the best of ‘Yup That Exists,’ and upvote your fave pics, dear Pandas. If you have a moment or two, we’d love to hear which of these things you were most surprised by. So drop on by the comment section.

The ‘Yup That Exists’ project is very popular online. It has branched out to all the major social media channels and dug its roots deep. For instance, on Facebook, it’s amassed a whopping 711.6k followers.

Meanwhile, the ‘Yup That Exists’ project has over 401k followers on Instagram. Whereas on TikTok, it has over 554.8k followers and has collected over 14.8 million likes across all of its videos. Say what you like, but strangeness clearly sells, especially when paired with interesting information. And the entire project has won over the hearts of many an internet user.

However, you describe the things in this list—peculiar, odd, downright bizarre, or even aesthetically challenged—one fact remains: they’re eye-catching. They stand out. They hook you and reel you in because they’re so far away from the norm.

Earlier, Bored Panda spoke about this with Swiss design experts Jonas Nyffenegger and Sébastien Mathys who run the Ugly Design Instagram project. According to them, they have a love for ugliness that keeps growing, meaning the line between ugliness and beauty gets blurred. And that helps content stand out from the crowd.

"It appears more and more of our followers have completely lost their taste. That’s a good thing. It means they’ll have to find it again. It will most likely be forever changed,” they told us.

Jonas and Sébastien explained to Bored Panda that different designs stand out from the crowd on social media. “When seeing an ugly design rather than perfect aesthetics (as defined in the 21st century)—scrollers takes notice,” they said that unpredictability wows viewers.

Some people even take bizarre designs to a whole other level by incorporating them into their homes and gardens. History teacher James Hull and landscape architect Bede Brennan, the founders of another popular Instagram page that celebrates weirdness in gardens, told Bored Panda that just because something has a funny vibe, a weird aesthetic, or is different doesn’t necessarily make it bad. 

"We love the way people put themselves out there with their gardens. Gardens are a really personal thing and are always on display out the front of your home. They require huge amounts of effort and upkeep too," they said that even ugliness has artistic and aesthetic merit.

#15

"Certainly, there is something about the ugly aesthetic which stands out on Instagram, a garden doesn’t have to be classically beautiful to stand out, make you happy, or be a landmark in the real world either," James and Bede told us that the peculiar really does stand out on people’s social feeds.

Welcome to the nation where saying no to “fancy a cuppa?” would not be taken well, unless you’re knackered.

So I'm chuffed to bits to bring you this collection of pics from the land ruled by Her Majesty the Queen, who not only doesn’t own a passport, has two birthdays, and in case she’d ever fancy a ride, she’d be allowed to drive without a drivers license. The land that gave the world some of the best musicians and artists (David Bowie, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and you name it, anyone?) and where people indulge in spotted dick. Before you think anything, let me just tell you, it’s one of too many weird British dessert names and it’s actually a delicious pudding. It’s also often sold canned, as are many things in the UK.

But in order to really get a full view of the world in the UK, we have to see its weirder sides too. And the Twitter page “No Context UK” seems like a perfect place to do that. With 135k followers, the page is dedicated to sharing weird, weirder, and the weirdest pics from daily British life which entails everything on the spectrum from hilarity to sheer absurdity.

Scroll down, upvote your favorite ones and be sure to share your thoughts and impressions of the UK in the comment section!

Many people roll their eyes when they hear such phrases as “we’re not just co-workers, we are family” in the workplace, especially coming from the higher ups. It is because the bosses imply that they will treat their employees with care and compassion but that is rarely the case.

However, in rare instances, coworkers do become family and there are humane and fun managers that they feel a real connection with. Turns out, the staff that worked at a bagel shop in California liked their manager so much that when they found out she was fired for practically no reason, they all just quit their jobs in solidarity.

More info: TikTok

Team members who felt more like family than coworkers all quit their job at a bagel shop when their general manager was fired

Image credits: Debs (ò‿ó)♪

This whole story started with a 10-second video on TikTok in which you can see a group of people walking towards a Noah’s Bagels shop. The text on the video said “When the whole team pulls up on the same day to quit.”

The video quickly blew up and now sits with 9.3 million views. Because it attracted so much attention on the app, the person who posted it, Beonce Sarmiento, made a few videos explaining the situation in more detail.

Image credits: _.be.1

The company was already trying to replace the manager, but when she wasn’t willing to transfer, the two new general managers started searching for reasons to fire her

Image credits: _.be.1

Apparently, the team really liked their shop’s general manager Bre Kowalski, but for some reason, her bosses wanted her to be transferred, so when the new general managers came that should have taken her place, Bre refused to leave.

They couldn’t fire her just like that, so they started to observe her more closely and nitpick everything she did, but nothing she had done was so serious that they could justify firing her. Until, of course, one day when Bre was not in the shop and there was an extra deposit that needed to be brought to the bank. The other general managers saw it as an opportunity to finish this matter and reported it to their boss.

Image credits: _.be.1

Image credits: _.be.1

After a few days, Bre got a text that she was suspended. She didn’t receive an explanation why and was confused, but when she got home, however, Bre noticed that she had received her salary, which was weird as she had gotten her paycheck a couple of days earlier.

Bre called her boss to find out what was happening and was told she had been terminated. Nobody had warned her about it nor talked about it. She was suspended with no explanation or a chance to fix her mistake, she was just fired.

One time the old general manager wasn’t at work but she got in trouble for not bringing a deposit to the bank

Image credits: _.be.1

Image credits: _.be.1

That led to her being suspended, however, she got her last paycheck, which is not normal after being suspended

Image credits: _.be.1

In another video Beonce explained that they didn’t quit only because of Bre. The workplace was problematic even before that. They were not treated with respect and they were not paid that well. Seeing Bre being treated that way was just the last straw.

They found out that even before they quit their jobs, they were seen as disposable and easily replaceable and the other managers knew about their opinions about Bre being fired, so were planning on firing them anyway.

Image credits: _.be.1

Many people in the comments admired the employees for showing solidarity and giving a clear sign to the company that they can’t treat people like that. Others were concerned that this was irresponsible and nobody would want to hire them after such a scandal.

Beonce assured her audience that everyone who quit either had savings in their accounts or the bagel shop was their second income so they didn’t just quit without having any financial stability. Also, the TikToker said that most of her now ex-coworkers have already found new jobs or are receiving offers, so why wouldn’t they quit a place where they are not appreciated if they can afford it?

Turns out, she was actually terminated and she didn’t even know that until she called her boss to figure out what was happening

Image credits: _.be.1

If an employer thinks that an employee is disposable, it’s not hard to imagine that for the employee, the job is also disposable. The younger generation is not afraid to risk it all and leave a workplace if they believe they are worth more than they are getting. Bored Panda actually talked about a tweet that sparked a debate about this and that often the older generation call younger people weak for not being able to suffer in a miserable job. You can find the article here.

Other TikTok users in the comments also pointed out a smart idea: people don’t quit their jobs because most of the time they are bearable, but they quit management, which can make your work day more gloomy or brighter.

When her store employees got the news, they all individually decided they needed to leave this place and went together to quit the same day

Image credits: _.be.1

There was a time when people worked 12 hours a day and didn’t have weekends off. They were tired and didn’t have any time to spend with their families and do something they enjoyed for themselves. The braver ones took some action and now we have a shorter work day, we have days off, and many places offer paid vacation time, but maybe this is not good enough anymore. And maybe people like the staff of the bagel shop are the pioneers of a new change that all will benefit from.

We would like to hear what your speculations are and also what you think about the story. Would you participate in a mass quitting to stand for your principles? Do you think the staff overreacted? Also, do you think that Noah’s Bagels will learn their lesson? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Here is the short video that went viral and showed the staff going to the shop to quit

People in the comments of the viral video showed support to the employees but weren’t surprised to know how poorly they were treated

Doorbell cameras have seen everything: ghosts, late-night dogs and even kind UPS drivers who went out their way to say something nice. What they don’t see often is elderly delivery drivers, who should be home, enjoying their hard-earned retirement and tapioca.

When TikTok user anabellegracestephens ordered her food, the last thing she’d expect was a humble-looking senior with a red cap. Couldn’t believe what she’d witnessed, Anabelle shared the recording with her followers — as of today, it has accumulated almost 10 million views with many concerned users debating if we should be okay with the economy which requires the elderly to work.

Pregnancy is a delicate time in a woman’s life that brings a myriad of changes. Even if you think you have it down, it can still be both mentally and physically tiring: everything from raging morning sickness to extreme mood swings. So having a partner who steps up and gets involved can certainly make things a bit easier.

But if you take it too far, the people who make up your support system can start feeling overwhelmed. And that’s exactly what happened to user fruitsnackk94. While working full time, the man still wanted to be a good husband. He was taking care of all of the housework by himself and assisting his pregnant wife who said she “never felt better.”

Yet, when the responsibilities started draining him out, he asked if the woman could take on a small part of the chores. To the user’s surprise, the woman got offended, saying that it “would stress her out and possibly harm the baby”. The soon-to-be dad turned to the AITA community for some guidance, so read on for his full story.

The level of wealth inequality in America is grotesque. A Pew Research report found that the richest families in the U.S. have experienced greater gains in wealth than other families in recent decades, a trend that reinforces the growing concentration of financial resources at the top. Moreover, the wealth gap between America’s richest and poorer families more than doubled from 1989 to 2016. To put that into perspective, in 2018, households near the top of the income had incomes that were 12.6 times higher than those near the bottom.

At the top of that very economic ladder stand billionaires. And according to Forbes, there were 2,153 billionaires as of March, with the ultra-rich worth $8.7 trillion, and that’s in 2019. Heading into 2022, the 10 wealthiest individuals in the world are all worth more than $100 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The numbers are simply unbelievable, quite like some of their humble success stories.

But people are getting fed up with being told lies. They claim that self-made billionaires are nothing more than another case of nepotism, a common practice of power that favors relatives by giving them exclusive opportunities. We collected some of the most eye-opening arguments about it below, so be sure to scroll down and share your thoughts about this as you go.

If you’re a fan of equality, respect, and just plain old kindness, dear Pandas, then this story might just make your blood boil with anger. A redditor shared a screenshot of a conversation between a couple of men and a woman on Reddit that quickly got heated because of how disrespectful they were being.

According to the furious men, women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education are supposedly “oblivious to their privilege” and “get more attention” at work from their colleagues. Well, the woman wasn’t having any of this steaming pile of nonsense and had the perfect response. She went into detail about just how hard women have it at work and shut the man’s argument down in style.

You’ll find her full response below. Have a read and let us know what you think, Pandas. And if you have any bright ideas about ending discrimination against women in education, let us know in the comments.

A woman in STEM education (in blue) shut down a couple of insulting guys by sharing how exactly she’s discriminated against

The fact that women are discriminated against in the workplace is crystal clear to many, even if some male redditors still like to hide their heads in the sand. Similarly, it’s clear that equality in STEM is a huge positive, but not everyone got the memo, apparently.

The inequality doesn’t stop when you get your diploma, however. Writer and human rights advocate Elizabeth Arif-Fear, the founder of ‘Voice of Salam,’ previously explained to Bored Panda that women face sexist attitudes, barriers to entry, and even harassment because of their gender. Both in the workplace and outside of it.

According to her, some of the solutions to sexism at work include continuing to “dismantle gender-based stereotypes about gender roles,” pushing for “full parity in dividing unpaid work at home with their partners,” and reporting incidents of harassment. For instance, one type of discrimination would be the “illegal questioning of their marital status in job interviews.”

In Elizabeth’s view, actively fighting back against the discrimination that women face will eventually “smash the glass ceiling.” She shared some words of encouragement: “Ladies, you can do it! Please believe in yourself!”

However, men need to actively do their part, too. Elizabeth said that this needs to take place not just at the office, but also at home. “Likewise, partners need to do their share at home, colleagues should check their attitudes (e.g. sexist comments), not mansplain in meetings, and managers and employers should ensure that they are creating fair equal opportunities and spaces at the table. Consideration for those with childcare responsibilities is also important.”

Internet users couldn’t believe what they were reading

Some redditors shared their own experiences at their jobs

Here’s what others thought about discrimination against women in education and at work

There’s no tougher job than being a parent, or so they say. The Pew Research Center analysis backs it up; it turns out that parents find caring for their children to be much more exhausting than the work they do for pay. Paradoxically, they also find much more meaning in the time they spend with their children than in the time they spend at work.

But when it comes to American fathers, they seem to devote significantly less time than mothers to rearing their children, this research suggests. But in order to see how rewarding fatherhood really is, and how much happiness it brings to dads and children out there, we rolled up some of the most wholesome examples.

In times of worldwide pandemic, where social distance is the new norm, people have had no choice but to rethink the attention they give to other people. We have had to redefine, some more, some less, the limits of who we really care about, and think of what kind of relationships we lack or need. No wonder so many people have ended up cutting ties with distant friends and strengthening the bond with a few real friends.

While longing for human connection, we have realized the real value of friendships we kept. After all, being in good company, where you can laugh, cry, forget about some things and remember others, make new memories, slow down time, aspire and inspire, is probably one of the biggest joys there is. And sometimes, in these occasions blessed by the universe, we meet people we feel an instant bond with. We can be total strangers, but it doesn’t matter.

So today, Bored Panda has compiled a wholesome collection of stories about total strangers finding immediate connection. It proves that there are relationships beyond our beloved real friends, and that maybe, we all are friends out there still waiting for the moment we will meet each other.

#6 The Kindest Stranger

So I thought it was a good idea to fly by myself with a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old we were standing in line in security, on the verge of tears because Wyatt was screaming and James was exhausted. Out of the blue, one mom stops the line for security and says “here, jump in front of me! I know how it is!” Wyatt fell asleep and I was trying to carry everyone’s carry-on when another mom jumps out of her place in line and says “hand me everything, I’ve got it”. When I said thank you to both of them they said “don’t you worry, we’re going to make sure you get on that flight.” The second woman takes everything and helps me get it through security and, on top of all that, she grabs all of it and walks us to the gate to make sure we get on the flight. To top it all off, Wyatt starts to scream at take off before he finally falls back to sleep. After about 45 min, this angel comes to the back and says “you look like you need a break” and holds Wyatt for the rest of the flight AND walks him all the way to the baggage claim, hands him to blake, hugs me and says “Merry Christmas!”

#7 My Brother's Bike Broke Down And This Man Pushed It 5 Km (With His Scooter), Told The Mechanic We Needed Help And Then Bought Us Beer While The Mechanic Fixed It

My brother and I were traveling in Vietnam by motorbike. I was using my phone to translate, thanking him so much for the help and telling him we are from Canada. He explained to me that he had left his phone at home but wanted a picture with us. We took some pics using my phone and I added him as a contact. He translated that he would be back in a moment and jumped on his scooter. He returned with cold tigers for each of us. We offered many times to pay him for both his help and beer, but he refused. Again, Mr. Tran, you are a great human.

#8 Every Thursday, My Heart Is Full When I See The Joy That Our Amazing Garbage Man Brings Brooklyn When He Honks And Waves At Her With A Big Smile

And today, we finally got to meet him! Brooklyn and I wrapped up one of her birthday cupcakes and waited for him. When he came down our street, she ran to the corner. We were waving like usual and I motioned for him to come over by us. He pulled over, got out and gave us his BIG smile. Brooklyn was instantly speechless as she handed him the cupcake. I explained to him that he makes our day every Thursday, and we really appreciate the honking and waving, and how special of a day it is for us.

Then... (melt my heart)... he explained that he looks forward to seeing us every Thursday as well. He said that he has a meeting every Thursday morning and always tries to get out of there in a hurry so that he can make sure to see us every week.

#16 Snow White Comforts Boy With Autism Who Had A Meltdown In Disney World

I wanted to share an amazing experience that I had today Sunday August 25th in Epcot. My son Brody has Autism and is non verbal. We went to meet Snow White by the fountain at the Germany Pavilion at 4:00 this afternoon. My son was having an autism meltdown. He was crying and was overwhelmed and just having a hard time. Snow White was amazing with him!! She kissed, hugged and cuddled him. He was laying his head crying on her lap. She then took him for a walk away from the crowd! She was amazing. She held his hand, danced with him, took him over to a bench and sat with him. She went above and beyond!! She took so much time with him. She was a pure angel! She was magical and my family is forever thankful and touched!

#32 Older Gentleman Teaches Young Guy How To Tie His Tie

The young guy sitting down was struggling with his tie. The woman in the red coat noticed, and asked "Do you know how to tie it properly?" The young guy said "No ma'am." She taps her husband and says "Come to this side (her right side; he was standing on her left side) and teach this young man how to tie his tie." The older gentleman moved without hesitation (almost a reflex response) and gave him a step-by-step tutorial; then - afterward - the elder gentleman watched the young gentleman repeat the steps and show him that he had it.

His ad got over 60k views, and he had offers from people around the world – including a guy who took him on an all-expense-paid, deep sea fishing getaway.

#41 Guy Helps A Special Needs Man And Is Super Friendly To Him

If anyone recognizes this man in the orange shirt, you walk up to him and shake his hand. He doesn't seem like the bragging type so I'll brag for him, while working out at Planet Fitness in Pascagoula a special needs man constantly approached him about 10 different times in a 45 minute time span with handshakes, hugs, questions, and interactions. Not only did this man smile, laugh, give him workout advice multiple times, and joke back with him while getting in his own workout but he didn't care who was watching while doing it. His patience, compassion, and friendliness was next level admirable. Towards the end of the workout the special needs man approached me and pointed to the man in the orange shirt and said "that's my friend" with a huge smile on his face. The pics aren't the best but they were the best creeper pics I could take at the time and this guy deserves recognition. The world needs more people like this man in the orange shirt, well done sir.

#54 Toddler Bonding With A Stranger At A US Airport

Last night, while waiting to board our plane, my daughter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man. He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him. He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks. This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes. Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends. This is the world I want for her.

#65 Came Across This Today, Shows That Compassion Can Be All Anybody Needs To Pick Themselves Up

"So this is a picture of me (on the left) and Darren (a homeless guy from Liverpool). Every day on my way to work I see Darren. He says hello, we have a chat, and I go get him a cup of coffee. He's a massive Everton fan and I'm a massive Liverpool fan, but we always have good banter about the football.

Darren used to have a job, and a girlfriend, but he lost all that after his girlfriend passed away and he went into depression. Now he lives on the streets in Liverpool.

So I decided, that instead of spending money on stupid things at Christmas (like cards and expensive food) I'd use the money to get Darren and I tickets to an EVERTON match. When I told him he burst out crying and gave me the best hug ever. We had a great time at the match and he was so grateful (he even offered to buy the coffee this time).

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this today is that Darren is no longer on the streets. He's got a council flat and is working part-time. Last week he had me round for dinner. I'm so proud of him.

I posted this story to show you that a little bit of kindness can go so far and help get someone on the right track again. I used to drink coffee with Darren on the streets, then I did it at Goodison Park, and now we drink it in his flat."

#66 Relentless Compressions Saved This Man With V-Fib, And It Couldn’t Have Happened To A Better Person

My wife and I were stopping at the store to get dinner, and I saw an older gentleman laid down in the road in front of the store, so I pulled over and rushed to his side. Another guy was next to him checking his pulse and said he couldn’t find it, so we pulled him out of the road, and immediately begin chest compressions. The two of us worked on him for about five minutes or so while a whole bunch of onlookers just stood there. 

The paramedics finally arrived and took over, and after shocking him several times and what felt like a lifetime, were able to stabilize him, and get him to the hospital. Police officer came over and told us he had a massive heart attack. He then shook my hand and congratulated us for saving this complete stranger, and said had we not been there and acted as fast as we did, he absolutely wouldn't have made it.

This morning the family contacted me and I went to the hospital to meet this man. Turns out he had V-fib and passed away three times at the hospital and had we not sprung into action as fast as we did he wouldn’t have even made it there. The doctor told me that people have less than a 10% survival rate, and couldn’t remember the last time he saw somebody survive this. 

This man Stephen is super awesome and incredibly funny. Every year he is Santa Claus for the kids in his town and hosts an event called “meet Santa” at the high school, and he even promised me were gonna toss back a few beers when he’s fully recovered. You never know what kind of situation might unfold at any moment, and simply knowing what to might be the difference between someone going home to their family or not.

I thanked Trina for her service and wished Jon a terrific first semester as they left, and sat down to eat my perfect barbecue sandwich. Five minutes later, Trina walked back in and said, “Tally, take my information. If you’re ever in Oklahoma City, you have a place to stay.” Of course, I started crying. I don’t post this for praise. I post it because I think it’s imperative that we take the time to see people and really listen. I truly believe our lives will be enriched.

If you’re not sure whether a bad review can make or break a business, 79 percent of consumers say they trust online feedback as much as recommendations from their friends or family. However, when anyone with an internet connection can leave a couple of short sentences blaring their priceless wisdom, some reviews are bound to be completely absurd.

In fact, people stumble upon so many odd evaluations, they had to create not one, but two online groups to laugh and cringe about them. Full of humorous and ridiculous reviews, these communities remind us just how “creative” some people can be.

From oddly specific to painfully entertaining, Bored Panda has collected some of the best posts these groups had to offer. So continue scrolling, upvote the ones that made you chuckle, and make sure to share your thoughts in the comments below!

The paradox of having a stable job is how much of a blessing and a curse it may be. Quite like a toxic relationship, you feel trapped in it but you’d be far worse off without it.

What happens there is known to all: annoying colleagues, burnouts, reheated lunches, ruined Sundays and even worse Mondays, and that very brief sense of freedom that gives you false hope every day, Monday to Friday, at 5pm sharp. And regardless of how many times we could rebinge The Office, going to work IRL lacks that excitement. There’s no Dwight in sight, not even Toby. In fact, there may be Toby in the real workplace but that doesn’t add much fun overall, if any.

So today, we rolled up some of the most relatable and painfully accurate workplace memes to lift up everyone’s spirits. In the end, nothing helps as much as having a good laugh, so all you office-bound lost souls with back problems, have a good one.

A person who goes online by the nickname Chamstar made a post on the popular subreddit r/AntiWork about quitting their job, and it went viral within the community as a prime example of greed.

In it, Chamstar describes their toxic boss who cared only about profit and not the satisfaction of the employees nor the betterment of his company. Needless to say, it was just a matter of time before Chamstar decided to quit.

However, when the employee handed in their 2-month notice, their boss said they were being “unfair” and demanded they stay longer. You know, because business is all about being nice.

Recently, one person received an incredible offer and decided to leave their company for another one

But their greedy boss didn’t want to lose his star employee

People were glad the CEO got what he deserved

After the story went viral, OP provided more information on making the switch

The post "I Was Called 'Unethical' For Leaving A Job For A Better Opportunity" first appeared on Bored Panda.

Great managers help their employees thrive in the workplace: assist them with any problems they may face and encourage them to bring passion and innovation into their jobs. Sounds great, right? Sadly, not every leader wants their workers to become the best version of themselves. In fact, some even make their life a misery.

Imagine working next to a noisy room full of buzzing and chattering printers—that could get on anyone’s nerves. And that’s exactly what happened to user Magnus_40 when they got a summer job working for an electronics company in the ’80s. They shared their story on the r/PettyRevenge subreddit, telling how the noise drove them nuts and how their boss rejected every solution they suggested.

However, their colleague Bob decided to help out and proposed an improvement to the printing system. The manager saw the benefits and authorized it, not knowing it involves auto-insulting him hundreds of times a day. “Sometimes it’s the petty revenges that mean the most,” the author wrote, so make sure to read on for the full story.

Here’s what Redditors had to say about the story

The post Manager Made His Employee's Life Miserable, They Come Up With A Way To Discreetly Insult Him Hundreds Of Times A Day first appeared on Bored Panda.

If you read Bored Panda, you've probably heard about the subreddit r/Cringetopia — an online community whose members torture each other with the cringiest content they can find. But if you missed it and this is the first time you're hearing about this corner of the internet, fire up our earlier publications here and here and catch up.

Nobody is too good to get a pass from these folks. Whether you're just a "prank YouTuber" using dirty tricks to clickbait viewers into watching your video, or a famous singer who is having a quarantine meltdown in a multi-million dollar home, if your behavior caused someone to suffer from second-hand embarrassment, chances are, it will earn you a feature.

But while covering the subreddit, we noticed there was one group of people who consistently ended up there. Parents. And believe me when I say it, moms and dads know plenty of original tricks to make themselves the stars of r/Cringetopia. Here are some of them.

#19 My Mom Is Putting Up Cameras In My Room Now

The Reddit user talked to Bored Panda about the unusual situation: “My mother is out quite a bit, so maybe that was the reason she put up the camera. Maybe she felt that she needed to watch me while she was out, but she never told me the exact reason.” They also said that they have “already confronted” their mother “with the argument that what she's doing is illegal and an invasion of privacy. So now I've taken them down and plan to keep taking the cameras down if she puts up more.”
