Sometimes the language barrier can hurt you more than others. In this case, the guy thought that "gasoleo" would get the job done for him, when he went to fill up his Petrol car. Unfortunately, that actually translated to Diesel, and he found himself in quite the bind, and in need of a mechanic. Fortunately he was able to resolve the issue, and move forward. But you gotta love the fail!

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share things they're aware of that people wrongfully think are scams, but actually are nothing of the sort. Those crazy things like the dentist and sites that require you to enter your credit card information before you can purchase their legitimate products, are actually just around to help you. The paranoid suspicions are fair in a world that can feel like it's just trying to pull one over on you, too often.

Sounds like this new owner has no business running a business! Their micromanaging move backfired in spectacular fashion, and next thing they knew they were overseeing an empty office, after the employees walked out in protest.

Sometimes it's a Saturday and you just want to relax without anyone evangelizing to you. Things started off polite, but after having his door knocked on a third time, this guy thought that he should be more bold and really weird them out. And it worked. When dads aren't making dad jokes they're getting epic dad revenge.

This retail worker found themselves in the middle of a heated confrontation with an entitled customer. So, they handled the situation with a beautiful play of malicious compliance. They proceeded to offer them a "senior discount" and that's when the fireworks really started. Turns out the customer wasn't a "senior." Apparently it was worth the write-up, for the retail worker. You just can't beat that satisfaction.

You're gonna be on this planet for a while, so rest assured your gonna see some shit. Luckily for us, the hammer of fate swings randomly, so we don't get hit with major disappointments on the daily. Maybe you have a bad week, but it's still statistically unlikely this level of disappointment will hit you hard.

On one hand, having to call customer service, especially for a telecommunications company, can be a time wasting slog. On the other hand, some customers just call customer service for an opportunity to scream at someone. In this case, this woman would rather scream and demand a 500 MB plan rather than actually listen, so things didn't exactly end in her favor.

Someone on AskReddit asked for married men to divulge some of the dumb stunts they pulled during their dating phases with their future wives. It's amazing what people can get away with when love is in the equation.

Never underestimate a rancher when it comes to pro revenge. This guy took a sweet and satisfying, and very impressively calculated revenge on some neighbors that were giving him trouble over some petty BS. It came down to property lines, and a mere 6 inches. Those 6 inches ended up costing them their peace of mind. Queue up the terrible stench of tons of pig excrement. They ended up moving out in response to the overwhelmingly horrible smell.

These free legal tips shouldn't come as a surprise. Honestly, if these bits of advice are anything but funny to you, there's a decent chance you're gonna find yourself in jail for a dumb reason. Sure there are dumb laws that get enforced from time to time, but lawyers see tons of crazy and dumb stuff that no right-minded person should ever find themselves experiencing.

This man in New Zealand decided he'd proactively lighten the spirits on the day he was due to get fired, by bringing an "emotional support clown" with him for the event. Can't say we've ever heard of someone adopting this tactic amidst getting fired, but damn if it's one for the books. Twitter users naturally had some jokes to make about the whole madness of the situation.

Cletus got what was coming to him. This one has all the makings of a well-executed nuclear revenge story. These guys played the scumbag catfish thief for all that he was worth, and he didn't even know what hit him when it came down to it.

The English language is frustratingly confusing, and seems to make zero sense at times. The following list of definitions, sayings, terms, etc. serve as a solid testament to the fact. For such a widespread language, it has an uncanny knack for confusing the shit out of people. If you're looking for more language struggles, it's worth checking out the following times people utterly failed at their spelling attempts.

It's always good to remind yourself that people are mostly decent. Like, most people just want to get through their day and actually feel a sense of guilt when they inconvenience people. That said, people will have their extremely trashy moments where they steal flowers from random graves and try selling stolen used lingerie on Facebook. All you can do with that kind of selfish trashiness is just look at it in awe.

The answer to your burning question: "How easy is it to fake a restaurant and sell microwavable meals over a food delivery app?" Well it takes some paperwork and clever photography, but apparently, it can be done.
