Inflatable Pretzel Gets Solemnly Removed From Ceiling


You probably didn't wake up today thinking that you'd be hit square in the feels-plex over an inflatable pretzel being lowered from the ceiling, but here you are. Here you are. Look at this poor pretzel. It's had better days. It will be back again to reign over its kingdom one day.

If you love puzzles, then this demonstration of crafting brilliance is for you. Seriously, Simone brought the heat. And don't even get us started on the genuine levels of excitement when Katelyn and Evan showed up. 

McDonald's Worker Pours Sweet And Sour Sauce In Caramel Frappé


Of all the mad and incomprehensibly wild things that a human being can do in this life, pouring sweet and sour sauce in a caramel frappé is just plain old wrong, man. Like, come on. It's no wonder that this TikTok vid went viral. Check out some more cursed food straight from the jowls of heck over here.

Stupid Things People Did On Autopilot


The human brain is an amazing computing machine, just as capable of feeling love as it is able to do advanced calculus. It will also make you throw a cup of coffee onto your bed thinking it's your phone. So let's just say that it's a mixed bag. There are some seriously dumb things people have done on auto-pilot.

Karen Mistakenly Bullies Fellow Customer, Gets Mocked


Some customers get a very real sense of superiority out of abusing customer service individuals.

It's a beautiful day when the gloves come off. For another wondrous Karen moment, here's the secret shopper who was so much of a Karen that she got fired.

Vegetarian Gets Mad That Roommate Cooks Meat In Dorm Room, Roommate Feels Bad


It's not easy sharing a living space with another human being in close quarters. The reality is that most of us have preferences that can set us apart from everyone else. It sounds like this woman's roommate was being just a tad bit unreasonable when it came to understanding the fact that people have different tastes. Really, what needs to happen is a complete halt on the guilt tripping. Life's far too short to acquiesce to someone else's narcissistic outlook on what you should be doing to fully optimize their relationship with life. 

Entitled People Who Had The Sheer Audacity


We all have enough problems as is. We don't need other people making problems for us by calling us names for not wanting to trade a guitar for a sandwich. The entitled people of the world have a hard time seeing how that's not exactly a fair deal, but don't be discouraged. Most people won't leave a horrible review of a restaurant because they had to sit in the sun. Most people.

Funny Tweets To Bring The Thunder To A Cloudy Day


Twitter is like a big bowl of fruit. Actually it's nothing like that. It's more like a big bowl of people's complaints. And among those complaints are beautifully elegant observations, thoughts, jokes and more than a few Guy Fieri references. While there are pitfalls having everyone saying everything all day, some of that everything is pretty great. Here are some funny tweets to build character and cultivate strength.

Funny Signs That Took Humor Into The Second Dimension


How does it feel to be less funny than a piece of wood? That's how we feel all the time, but especially in the context of funny signs. People have an inherent need to be seen and heard, and sometimes the best way to do that is the most old school way there is, by smearing some symbols up on a thing. And amazingly, that method still works. So here are some funny signs for those who enjoy jokes on a literal post.

NYC Bans Dogs In Subways, People Step Up With Ingenious Innovations


When you tell people that they can't bring their beloved animals on board the ever chaotic subway, you better believe that they're going to step up and deliver with ingenious innovations that allow them to bring those very dogs on the subway. Suffice to say, these people outdid themselves. If you want to keep the Tumblin going, check out this Tumblr thread on the importance of serving customers exactly what they order.

People Describe The Dealbreakers From Their Exes


Many of us have hit that point where we find ourselves confronted by a profoundly difficult individual that clearly just can't be reasoned with. These people in this AskReddit thread went ahead and described the moments that they just couldn't put up with the flak anymore from their exes. If anything, this thread should serve as a guide on how to not carry yourself when it comes to how you interact with people, and absolutely how you interact with your partner. 

Dad Jokes That Quite Literally Outdad-ed Themselves


We love us some good old-fashioned dad jokes here. There's something about a dad joke, where you can find a deep appreciation for the dad joke, and also hate it at the same time. These dad jokes though, they're a work of art. A thing of beauty really. You very well might find yourself wanting to put these in your arsenal when it's all said and done. 

People's Favorite Ways To Escape Reality


Many of us are prone toward fits of escapism. This whole life thing can be overwhelming at times. Sometimes, you just need to unplug. Of course, it's best to do so in as healthy of a way as possible Maybe some of these people's strategies for escaping reality will give you some new ideas for the next time you need to check out and take a mental vacation for a while. 

Absurd, Cursed, And Uncomfortable Architecture


Every now and again, you might catch yourself driving or walking around a new neighborhood, and realize that you've stumbled upon an unforgettably awful display of architecture. You might snap a pic, send it off to a friend, and spend the next series of panicked hours trying to make sense out of how such an eyesore could've come into fruition in the first place. These snapshots of absurd, cursed, and uncomfortable architecture are in a league of their own. And not the league that you want to find yourself in.

Florida Man Catches Gator Using Trashcan

Clearly though, this guy embraces the world with open arms, and courage coursing through his veins, absolutely ready for whatever curveballs get chucked his way. 

Girl Surprises Boyfriend At College, Cringeunion Ensues


Alright, in all fairness what comes across as an awkward reunion between this boyfriend and girlfriend very well could be so "tense" just because the dude was completely caught off guard. Apparently at one point, the girlfriend went so far as to tell people online that her and Robbie are still "literally obsessed with one another." Robbie clearly just wasn't ready for the surprise attack. 

Real Estate Agent Tries To Raise Application Fee After Couple Pays Application Fee, Totally Backfires


The world's not going to run out of shady landlords and real estate agents that try to pull fast ones on tenants that they assume won't know any better. Well, this real estate agent certainly got their rightful comeuppance in the form of being the receiver of a successful pro revenge. The only way that this couple could've made their pro revenge any more devastating would've been to have had their friends show up, and pretend to be interested tenants. Keep the revenge drama going with this story about some frat bros that parked in a neighbor's driveway, and ended up paying much more.

25 Outrageous Autocorrect Fails to make you LOL | Cheezburger


Predictive text is just a phone's way of trying to help, but sometimes we don't need that help. Like, most of the time. And a lot of those times result in autocorrect fails. It's probably better to text someone the phrase "orn my way horm" than have it get turned into "ornery monkey horns" because the first one can actually get parsed out into meaningful speech. It's good to think of these errors in particular as "AutoCorrect's puberty" when the function was far from perfect and made tons of mistakes, many of them awkwardly sex-related.

And sure, phones have come a long way. But in that time, we haven't changed that much. Our sausage fingers are still smothering the buttons and our phones are just doing their best to turn our impotent finger poking into "you up" texts and the like, so maybe we shouldn't be blaming our phones so much as our inability to use them properly. So when our phones come up with nonsense after we put a bunch of nonsense into them, we're just dealing with the consequences.

Why don't we just disable autocorrect? That's a terrific question. Another great question to add to that is "do you think people like us, who are so cognitively in the dark that they just typed 'where pizza go' into their phone also have the technical expertise to futz with the settings? Like everything else, it's probably easier than it seems, but we are far too stubborn to search for reasonable answers. The buck stops at setting the brightness, then anything more complex than that is basically magic.

Dad's Childless Brother Calls Himself "Dog Dad", Dad Gets Upset


This dad stepped way out of line when he took it upon himself to pass judgment on his brother because his brother called himself a "dog dad." Of all the things to get worked up about in this crazy life, that ain't it. You can imagine who the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with on this matter. 

Food Memes to Feed Our Hungry Souls


Everyone's gotta eat. It's one of those rare common denominators that literally everyone has to engage with every day. We might call ourselves "foodies" but how can we do that when we're spreading chocolate frosting onto a pop tart to make an open-faced pop tart sandwich? We have a hunger in our hearts and souls. Not just for acceptance and meaning in our lives, but also pizza rolls. And guess what, "meaning in our lives" isn't something we can keep in the freezer and have on hand at all times. All we can do is go on our food journey in life and pray that we don't come across any cursed food abominations.

Accountant Assembles The Avengers Of Trivia Knowledge, Righteous Victory Ensues


Everyone only has so much that they're willing to put up with, when it comes to someone's toxic BS. It sounds like the villainous VP of HR in this tale of malicious compliance was on quite the ego-riddled, power trip. Well, all that bullish behavior certainly ended up backfiring for them. Let's just say that the heroic employee in this story made it their mission to assemble a star-studded cast of trivia phenoms, that went on to absolutely dominate at the office trivia event. 

Tech Support Employee Expects Speakerless Computer To Make Noise


Look, some people end up coming to learn that they're just not cut out for certain gigs. It sounds like this dude might've landed himself into a job that just doesn't play off his strengths. That's perfectly alright. It's totally fine to toss the ego aside, embrace sweet humility, and try out something new. That could be the advisable move for this employee. The fact that they somehow got confused over a computer not making sound, after being told that it didn't have speakers, kind of escapes explanation. Check out another tech support tale with this story about a coworker who demanded a mathematically impossible computer, and got proven incompetent.

Tumblr Thread On Importance Of Serving Customers What They Order


Customer service gigs aren't easy. Far too often an unfortunate part about the job is that you can end up having to field all kinds of wildly entitled, genuinely nightmarish customers that seem unconsciously committed toward making your life miserable. Amidst all that, some people can let themselves go, and end up overlooking the importance of serving customers exactly what they order. It might seem extra sometimes. But the reality is that some people were born with those life-threatening health issues that can't be overlooked. If you want to keep Tumblin onwards, check out these funny Tumblr gems to help stifle the brooding darkness.

Lazy Dude Fails To Do Laundry Correctly, Girlfriend Gets Upset, He Remains Clueless


It sounds like this dude might have a little bit of growing up to do. Like, he searched for a new gig for an hour, and then proceeded to dish that activity out as an excuse for not being able to follow through with doing the laundry correctly. Naturally, his girlfriend wasn't stoked about the development. It sounds like he's pretty clueless to the whole thing. You can imagine who the moral judges in Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with.

The world may seem at times like it's just out to get us, and in those moments it's a good idea to have a reminder that things are still basically pretty alright.

Server Snaps On Customers That Fail To Tip Properly For Massive Bill


Some people are so blinded by the thick clouds of entitled ignorance that seem to follow them around like their literal shadows, that they pretty much ask the world for reality checks. So, when this table of entitled people that couldn't afford to eat out insisted on ordering tons of food and drinks, and then leaving a garbage tip, they pretty much got their rightful comeuppance. Anyone who has ever worked a customer service gig knows that the job regularly challenges you with extremely difficult people that seem to leave their social decency at the front door of the establishments. 

Wild Shark Recognizes Human Best Friend After Being Separated For A Year


It's a mesmerizing video like the one we have here that can all at once deepen your appreciation for the endless beauty that can be found out in nature. In this case we have a wholesome display of friendship between a diver and shark that end up being reunited after a year of not seeing one another. Maybe this video will help break down some of that negative stereotyping that encircles sharks.

Microwaved Egg Proves Why It Shan't Be Played With


We've always heard that it's a bad idea to microwave an egg, but the typical reasoning is that the egg will just get your microwave covered in egg. Here we have a microwaved egg that had a time delayed fuse and went full Voltorb only after this guy grabbed it.

So, when this highway came to a full stop, these dads were inspired to launch a complete investigation. 

Funny Signs For Those Who Appreciate Jokes On A Literal Post


There's a special place in our hearts for funny signs. Maybe it's the fact that it's commendable that someone felt like their joke should be a permanent fixture. Maybe it's because it's funnier when something as "official" as a sign can also be so dumb. Whatever the reason, it's worth looking at signs that dispense jokes and wisdom.

Employee Bests Micromanaging Boss With Tactical Petty Revenge


One of the worst things to find yourself dealing with when you're just trying to smoothly navigate your day's tasks is to have a boss who insists on a managerial approach that's rooted in micromanagement. Micromanagement is the worst. It usually seems to stem from some maddening urge for the person to control all the things at once. Well, simply put, this isn't the most efficient way to get things done. It sounds like this employee was more than ready to unleash a tactical petty revenge though. Keep the revenge train rolling with this pro revenge story about a guy who secretly trained their roommate to not wake up to their morning alarms.

Inventive Failures Of The English Language


As monolingual people ourselves, we fully acknowledge that we would be even worse at translation than a lot of these attempts. Hell, we only manage to make fully coherent sentences about half the time anyway. But we also acknowledge that a jar of "herpes and spices" is pretty dang funny. Here are some more creative misuses of the English language as well as some examples of English being difficult.

Incompetent Manger Insists On Doing Job Wrong, Crashes And Burns


There are mean bosses. There are stupid bosses. But some of the most frustrating bosses to work under are the bosses who don't know how to do their job.

For some incredible management overreach, here's the Walmart manager who fired a guy from a job that wasn't his.

Oblivious Customer Repeatedly Asks For "Missing " USB Dongle, It's Always Been There


Tech support really has their work cut out for them. Far too many people in this mad world seemingly turn their brains off when it comes to employing minimal levels of common sense to navigate various aspects of the world of technology. In this case, we don't even know where to start.

Keep the IT content going with this collection of relatable IT memes for the technologically minded.

Things People Did Once And Will Never Do Again


There are a few reasons to do something once. Maybe it was an amazing experience. Maybe it was hard, or painful, or there was only one opportunity for you to do that thing.

Life is full of opportunities, and some of those opportunities, like hiking in the jungle or frying bacon naked are things that are best only indulged in once, or not at all.

The Full Saga Of The Racoon That Tried To Wash Cotton Candy
