Working in the corporate world can be a bit of a drag when it comes to office politics and gossip all while you're trying to climb the corporate ladder. Sometimes sending a professional clapback email just doesn't have the same level of satisfaction as getting revenge for whatever infraction drove you to the brink of quitting on the spot.But let's be realistic, in this economy even if you wanted to walk out it's not financially feasible so getting revenge isn't a wise option for the same reason walking out isn't. That's where a Los Angeles based lawyer who goes by the username whattheish comes in. She shares revenge ideas that won't get you arrested...probably. After some feedback from people in the corporate world hoping for a little less obvious revenge, she delivers a few options that seem hilariously genius–if that's your thing. If it's not your thing, rest assured that these ideas are more like silly pranks than actual revenge and while she advises against trying it, you may still find it fun to imagine. The lawyer starts off with a legal disclaimer, "Before we get started I have to say that this is not legal advice and I strongly recommend against you doing any of the things I'm about to tell you."She shares that these are ideas for those "corporate Barbies" that don't want to get into trouble in the office making the entire thing kind of like stealth revenge. people sitting on chair Photo by Redd F on Unsplash "And because Mama Ish loves you and I am always in your corner, I've cooked up an alternative revenge idea. This one short, sweet, simple, to the point, which we love," the woman says before listing a website where people can purchase never ending greeting cards for all occasions. The greeting card in question quietly makes inappropriate noises then slowly gets louder lasting for several hours without anyway to turn it off except to rip it up. But when they rip the card open glitter spills everywhere. In another video for "legal" revenge ideas, the woman shares a strategy that won't embarrass your coworkers or whoever is on the receiving end, but it will annoy them.

I love this idea because all you need is your victims name and phone number so you can use this for a remote coworker, an ex, soon to be ex, mother-in-law, father-in-law, any relative, old boss. If you have their name and phone number you're good to go," she says before listing various insurance companies but carefully pointing out not to do this to Healthcare.gov because it might be fraud against the federal government.The woman says the insurance companies will continuously call the person for weeks on end multiple times a day trying to convince you to use their insurance company. Admittedly, the lawyer has fallen victim to this herself and is still getting phone calls. @whattheish Revenge Ideas From A Lawyer That Won’t Get You Arrested… Probably #revenge #petty #thisisnotlegaladvice #justjokesfolks #breakups #breakupadvice #breakuptiktok #dating #datingadvice #relationships #relationshiptiktok #probably If neither of those ideas suit your flavor of reasonably harmless revenge, no worries, the lawyer has an entire video series dedicated to legal-ish revenge ideas. In another post she starts by speaking directly to those that are specifically looking for more corporate safe anonymous revenge."Do you hate your boss? Do you hate your coworkers? Do you wish you could drive them insane every moment of the day, every day until they lose their minds? Then boy do I have an idea for you. It is simple. It is sweet. It is to the point and best of all it requires minimal effort from you. We're talking the annoy-a-tron," she reveals. @whattheish Revenge Ideas From A Lawyer That Won’t Get You Arrested… Probably #revenge #petty #thisisnotlegaladvice #justjokesfolks #corporate #corporatelife #corporatetiktok #amazonfinds #datingadvice The annoy-a-tron is a small device you can purchase online and tape in a space where it's undetectable. But what does this little gadget do? It annoys the people within earshot who cannot find the location of whatever sound preset to go off. The device makes noises from a chirp to a scream which can be set to go off at different intervals. Someone tried this prank saying, "I did this to my manager after he encouraged pranks when we returned to the office. Which I hated. I put it up inside his cubicle walls & it took them 3 days to find it after dismantling the cubical."Some people include their own stories of pranks like one person that shares, "so someone use to leave an egg on our bosses desk every day for a year. Then stopped. Our boss ripped his office apart screaming "where is the egg." Scared April Fools GIF Giphy Another person writes, "My absolute favorite one I've ever heard is signing prenup papers with disappearing ink."Someone else got even more creative than a never ending greeting card, "I got revenge on my ex by sending him a single slice of Kraft cheese every day for two months in an unmarked envelope every day, without a note or return address. it sounds silly but it's the kind of stuff they can't stop thinking about, like where and why am I getting 1 slice of cheese from, and like if [he] called the cops what is he going to say someone is sending me cheese in the mail?"Of course, these ideas may just be fun to think about to get you through a long week at work, they're not suggestions to try and the lawyer suggesting them only says you probably won't be arrested.

A new trend in treasure hunting called magnet fishing has blown up over the past few years, evidenced by an explosion of YouTube channels covering the hobby. Magnet fishing is a pretty simple activity. Hobbyists attach high-powered magnets to strong ropes, drop them into waterways and see what they attract.The hobby has caught the attention of law enforcement and government agencies because urban waterways are a popular place for criminals to drop weapons and stolen items after committing a crime. In 2019, a magnet fisherman in Michigan pulled up an antique World War I mortar grenade and the bomb squad had to be called out to investigate. In 2022, Fifteen-year-old George Tindale and his dad, Kevin, 52, of Grantham, Lincolnshire in the U.K., made an incredible find earlier this month when they used two magnets to pull up a safe that had been submerged in the River Witham.George has a popular magnet fishing YouTube channel called “Magnetic G.”After the father-and-son duo pulled the safe out of the murky depths, they cracked it open with a crowbar and found about $2,500 Australian dollars (US$1,800), a shotgun certificate and credit cards that expired in 2004. The Tindales used the name found on the cards to find the safe’s owner, Rob Everett.Everett’s safe was stolen during an office robbery in 2000 and then dumped into the river. “I remember at the time, they smashed into a cabinet to get to the safe,” Everett said, according to The Daily Mail. “I was just upset that there was a nice pen on my desk, a Montblanc that was never recovered.” The safe was stolen in the year 2000 \n\n#magnetfishinghttps://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/news/teenager-finds-safe-containing-thousands-of-dollars-9250637/\u00a0\u2026 — Grantham Journal (@Grantham Journal) 1650615191 The robber, who was a teenage boy, was apprehended soon after the crime because he left behind a cap with his name stitched inside.The father and son met up with Everett to return his stolen money and the businessman gave George a small reward for his honesty. He also offered him an internship because of the math skills he displayed in the YouTube video when he counted the Australian dollars. “What’s good about it is, I run a wealth management company and… I’d love him to work for us," Everett said.Although the safe saga began with a robbery 22 years ago, its conclusion has left Everett with more faith in humanity.“I was just amazed that they’d been able to track me down,” he said. “There are some really nice and good people in this world. They could have kept the money, they could have said they attempted to get hold of me.”“There’s a big lesson there. It teaches George that doing good and being honest and giving back is actually more rewarding than taking,” Everett added.Treasure hunting isn’t the only allure of the hobby for George. His mother says the hobby has taught him a lot about water pollution and its effects on local wildlife. “George is very environmentally conscious. He always has been since primary school,” she said. “When he first started to do this, he was after treasure. Everything ends up in the rivers and canals.”This article originally appeared on 04.25.22

Finally. A hard truth — and a very old one — is openly addressed by new Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos in, amazingly, the Washington Post. The Bezos headline:   The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media A note from our owner. Among other pointed truths, Bezos, with bold print for emphasis supplied here, says:  In the annual public surveys about trust and reputation, journalists and the media have regularly fallen near the very bottom, often just above Congress. But in this year’s Gallup poll, we have managed to fall below Congress. Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working. … We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement. Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose. Reality is an undefeated champion. It would be easy to blame others for our long and continuing fall in credibility (and, therefore, decline in impact), but a victim mentality will not help. Complaining is not a strategy. We must work harder to control what we can control to increase our credibility. Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, “I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.” None. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. … Many of the finest journalists you’ll find anywhere work at The Washington Post, and they work painstakingly every day to get to the truth. They deserve to be believed. Well bravo for Mr. Bezos. The American media has a problem — and a big one.  In the past few months, here are a few sample headlines: New York Times publisher responds to staff outrage over Tom Cotton op-ed  Two more Los Angeles Times editorial board members resign amid turmoil over blocked Harris endorsement CBS News in Turmoil, Will Bring in DEI and Trauma Expert After Staff Revolts Over Anchor’s Tough Questioning of Anti-Israel Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates And now, the Washington Post has joined this group of three:  Washington Post union, staffers revolt over decision not to endorse a presidential candidate, blame Bezos So what do we have here? What we have is the recognition that whether it’s the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, CBS News, or now the Washington Post, their respective staffs are not filled with journalists but rather with left-wing activists masquerading as journalists. But only recently have the liberals doing this been publicly outed — by themselves. And now, along comes the owner of the Washington Post — Jeff Bezos — to both admit the reality of liberal media bias the world has long known and vow to do something about it. Here at The American Spectator, the pages reflect the honesty of what the magazine has always been, right from its creation by founder R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., all the way back there in 1967. It is an “opinion” magazine showcasing conservative views on the issues of the day. Along with other opinion publications like William F. Buckley Jr.’s National Review or the liberal New Republic, The American Spectator makes no pretense to be anything other than what it was designed to be right from the start. The same cannot be seen with a number of major media outlets. It was perfectly plain to most readers that outlets like the Washington Post, the New York Times, CBS News, and more were created to … gasp! … report the news. To borrow from an ancient police detective show — Dragnet — they were supposed to be about what the main character, Detective Joe Friday, repeated frequently: “The facts. Just the facts.” Or, as CBS anchor Walter Cronkite used to say at the end of his nightly broadcasts, “And that’s the way it is.” Or, as the motto for the Times had it on the front page of every issue, the Times was about “All the news that’s fit to print.”  Alas, in today’s world, as all these cited examples above illustrate, these and other major supposedly “fact-oriented” outlets are hell and gone from fact-based journalism. They are about left-wing politics. There is everything right with a paper having an op-ed section that is specifically designed to publish opinions. But the op-ed section is not the front page or the inside pages that are supposed to be about “the facts, just the facts.” And for Jeff Bezos to not simply buy the Post but admit in his own opinion piece — in the Post! — that the journalism profession, including his own Post, has a serious problem, takes considerable courage. He may well be a billionaire, but that will not — and has not — protected him from being targeted by Post staffers and others for speaking truth to establishment media power. Again, Bezos said: Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working….We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement. Most people believe the media is biased. Bingo.  So three cheers for Jeff Bezos. Big time.
