From employees who kept getting paid long after they left, to bosses who thought they had total control, to a manager who made one bold move that changed everything… these stories prove that work doesn’t always end when you walk out the door.

Join Jordan and Patrice for some satisfying stories today.

In this episode of Thread Headquarters, Jordan and Patrice share one of the most cringeworthy dinner party stories you’ll ever hear from the subreddit Today I F**ed Up*.

A man is invited to dinner with his wife’s brand-new boss, and everything seems perfect—until he realizes his steak is practically raw. Desperate not to offend the host and under pressure to make a good impression, he panics and comes up with a solution so absurd it turned an ordinary meal into pure chaos.

What followed left his wife horrified, his boss stunned, and the internet in stitches. It’s a dinner fail worthy of The Office or Seinfeld—and you won’t believe how it all went down.

It’s Soup for the Soul Sunday at Thread Headquarters, and Jordan and Patrice are bringing you stories that prove kindness can change lives.

First up, a traveler gives up a first-class upgrade so that a fellow passenger with an injured ankle can have the seat instead. What started as a small gesture turned into a lasting friendship. Listeners also share similar moments of generosity, from families being reunited on flights to strangers stepping up when it mattered most.

Then, from Tales From Your Server, a new restaurant manager decides to break the cycle of pushing away a homeless man by offering him a dishwashing job. What began as a chance to earn a meal becomes a life-changing opportunity, leading to sobriety, stability, and mentorship.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that small acts of compassion can spark lasting transformation.

When a student lands their first real job and gifts their parents the first paycheck, their aunt suddenly decides that money should go toward paying her own son’s college fees. Things spiral into family drama, guilt trips, and group chat meltdowns, with the aunt even demanding scholarships be handed over to her son.

It’s Freaky Friday at Thread Headquarters, and Jordan and Patrice are sharing stories that will make your skin crawl.

From Let’s Not Meet: a young woman discovers a stranger hiding under her bed, only to realize he was waiting outside the bathroom door with one of her kitchen knives. Quick thinking and a call to the police may have saved her life.

Also from Let’s Not Meet: a teenage grocery store worker is followed by a man in a silver van who later posts a chilling “missed connection” about her on Craigslist. With eerie details and a possible link to a nearby trafficking ring, this story shows just how dangerous seemingly small encounters can become.

Creepy, unsettling, and unforgettable, this episode will have you checking under your bed and side-eyeing every parked van you pass.

In this episode of Thread Headquarters, Jordan and Patrice dive into a wild two-part saga from the subreddit Entitled People.

It starts with a neighborly dispute over daylilies when a woman calls the police on her neighbor for pulling up flowers in his own yard. The cops quickly shut her down, but the drama doesn’t end there. In a shocking follow-up, the same neighbor gets drunk, grabs some fire starter, and ends up burning down the wrong house in a fit of rage.

From petty garden squabbles to full-blown arson charges, this story takes “entitled” to a whole new level.
