Professional RC Racing Is A Thrilling Spectacle


Just in case you've never feasted your eyes upon some RC racing at play, it turns out that it's quite the exciting spectacle to behold. These guys aren't messing around. Plus, the actual race announcer is beyond jacked up, which makes the whole event that much more entertaining to sit back and watch.

Mike Judge Explains The Origins of Boomhauer's Voice


Back when Mike Judge was doing Beavis and Butthead, or as some would call it, Porky's Butthole, he got a strange and interesting critic who would one day become the inspiration for everyone's favorite mushmouthed jargon-spewer Jeff Boomhauer.

Dude Creates The World's Most Unappetizing Pizza


There's got to be a cutoff for what's allowed to actually be called a pizza. This guy very well crossed that line. Like what even is this? We have so many questions. Did someone just order it, and he was simply following the order instructions? Or was this his own, intentional creation? We sorely hope not.

Boss Uses Eye Gag to Remove Problem Customers


Gotta love a manager with a sense of humor to match their intolerance for idiotic customers. Employees have dealt with some ridiculous customer demands, having to debase themselves for the flawed and almighty " customer is always right" mentality. Here's another one where a customer weaponized a tip jar to defeat a Karen.

Font - Posted by u/Winiri 10 hours ago 2 O 6 20 3 20 9 E 12 My Boss Scared Off Rude Customers by Literally Taking a Closer Look oc M I used to work at a store, run by a woman named Irene. She would buy vintage and high end items, repair them, and then sell them in the store. We didn't have multiple sizes of things and the only bulk items we bought were little trinkets and soaps, sometimes jewelry.

2.

Font - One day, when Irene had gone out to get more supplies, the Dickless couple walked in. The wife, who looked like vegan cat vomit rolled in crystals and hemp, was on the wrong foot the moment she opened her mouth. Jerkina seemed to think we were her slaves, that she was queen of the world, and everything had to be in her size. Her husband Vernon would grunt and repeat what she said in a more nasally aggressive voice. It was the longest two hours of my life.

3.

Font - We had everything have extras in the back. After explaining that to organized by size, and did not Jerkina for the 100th time, I was about to throw a purse at her head. "This is not my size. Why don't you have my size?" I told her to maybe look at a larger size rack, because obviously she was not a two (she was a six). "No, no, no! I am a two. I have always been a two. I was a two when I had my kids. I am a two now." Vernon repeated the same thing, "No. She is a two. A two. A TWO."

4.

Font - Irene came in while the happy couple was shopping and asked what the problem was (to me) because I had that look. I explained the woman was being picky. Eventually the woman stormed up again, with a pair of pants, demanding I read her the size. I told her the size (a 6) and she said, "I am a TWO not a SIX. Why do I fit into these?" Irene ended up speaking with her. "Those are a six. If you fit into them, then you are not a two."

5.

Font - Jerkina got silent, turned to her husband, and waved the pants around. Vernon said, "Now, listen here, I don't like the way you guys have been helping my wife. She asks questions and gets attitude. You should use your eyes and actually look at the tag and see if there is a problem. She wants to know the size, tell her the size." Irene agrees. "Sure. I will take a closer look."

6.

Font - She puts the pants on the counter, pops out her glass eye, and holds it close to the tag. "Still a six." I start laughing so hard I have to sit down. The couple sputtered, waved their hands around like blind birds, and storm out. They left a huge mess I had to help clean up, but only after I spent twenty minutes laughing about it with Irene and the other cashier Helen. Irene gave me money to get us all coffee, we closed early, and cleaned up the store. Irene was the best boss I ever had.

Educational Tumblr Post On Proper Monster Care


What a nice little gem from a wonderful mind in the world of Tumblr. This fun Tumblr post provides a comprehensive rundown on what one must do to provide proper care for certain kinds of notable monsters. If you're looking for more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr post about some dudes that avoided chaotic evil with skimpy outfits and pure love

1.

Font - headspace-hotel Follow Common misconceptions surrounding the care of monsters Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT normal for a Cerberus's heads to fight with one another; this indicates anxiety or lack of proper enrichment.

2.

Font - Giant spiders are actually very social creatures, and should not be housed alone. Provide your Sphinx with enrichment by answering its riddles. Though Sphinxes can be trained to attack those who answer incorrectly, they actually normally speak in riddles as a form of social play that is essential to their development and well- being.

3.

Font - If you cannot provide brimstone and a large pool of lava for bathing, don't purchase a Hellhound! They are animals with very specific care needs and their health will suffer if they are not given the proper habitat. Likewise, most Hellhound kibble brands on the market do not meet the recommended daily requirement of damned souls for Hellhounds. Always check the labels! The practice of putting blinders over the eyes of Basilisks to make them less dangerous is cruel. Basilisks should not be

4.

Font - Many hippocampi enjoy pulling sea chariots, boats or inflatable floats and it can be a good source of enrichment and exercise. Make this activity fun for your hippocampus by rewarding it with treats such as fish and allowing it to participate as it wants to. A labyrinth is NOT an appropriate habitat for a Minotaur!! Minotaurs need fresh grass and shade to lie down in to be happy. Also, a diet of only human flesh will cause malnutrition. Supplement your Minotaur's diet of kidnapped youths

5.

Font - Remember, that hatchling Roc is an adorable fluff ball now, but it will eventually become a fearsome elephant-sized bird of prey with a ravenous appetite and very demanding housing requirements. A pet should always be a well-researched commitment, not an impulsive decision. While going into the wild and gaining a dragon's trust is often romanticized, there are many dragons in search of a loving family much closer to home! Try looking into dragon rescue organizations near you. Some Mantico

Font - Even smaller species of griffin need a lot of space. Domestic rock-griffins, though only the size of a cat, need room to fly and to build large nests. If you live in an apartment, it is better to adopt one of the smallest species, such as one of many types of song- griffins! Humming-griffins, however, though you may have seen cute videos on Instagram, should be avoided because they are not domesticated and their wild populations are endangered by the pet trade. It is best to admire their

Neighbor Steals Man's Power And Water, Nuclear Revenge Ensues


Sometimes you meet someone and you just know they're going to be nothing but trouble without even knowing them. This revenge story's villainous couple certainly gave off those shady vibes. Bill had the audacity to steal the guy's power and water over and over again, and vastly underestimated the guy's capacity for executing a beautiful, calculated revenge. The pool salt was just a plain old brutal touch. 

Check out another glorious pro revenge tale from the same guy over here. Can't decide which one's better.

2.

Font - Some years ago I was working FiFo (Fly In, Fly Out) at a mine. Leave the small-ish town I was living in at the time, fly to the mine for two weeks, fly back home for one week. Rinse, repeat. As a dual trade sparky/instro, it was big hours and looooots of Beer Tickets. (sparky/instro - electrician/instrumentation electrician) With all the fat stacks of bills I was being paid, I decided to buy a fixer-upper house that I could work on during my weeks off, with a view to selling at some stage

It needed the usual paint and mending, a fair bit of modernisation, a bit of renovation, but was overall a solid house in an established neighbourhood. All the blocks around there were half acre. The first day I was moving in, I hadn't been there for an hour, and had one of the neighbours visiting. (There are two types of neighbours who come over within an hour. The "Here is a casserole, welcome to the

4.

Font - Anyway, Bill and Jenny came over with the "Hello peasant, this is a quiet neighbourhood" yada yada bullshit. They'd been at their house for over 20yrs. I was courteous and respectful, explained that I would be in and out due to being a FiFo Contractor, didn't party, and the only noise would be fixing up the house. Well. Bill and Jenny were most assuredly not impressed. I don't know if it was the Contractor bit, or the fixing up the house bit, but I don't think their faces could've looked

5.

Font - Bill was also kind enough to let me know that "Everyone around here has pride in their gardens/lawns and it would be a shame if I were any different". Jesus fuck Bill, OK, I get it. Bill has no chill. I let him wander off with his Alpha attitude and went about moving in. Dave and Bec "Dave" and "Bec" (from over the other fence) came over just on sunset with their teenaged kids, beers and pizza. Dave was a High School Principal and Bec was a Nurse. They asked how it went with Bill and Jenn

6.

Font - All through the first day l'd seen Bill pottering around in his garden. Garden isn't the right word though. Apart from the house, their half acre was like the local Botanical Gardens. Gazebo, Pool, Pond and all. Dave told me how Bill bragged about his rare trees and flowers and shit. (Can you tell I love gardening? Honestly, grass is just something you pull up to pave or concrete over.) After the first week, l'd moved in and had begun the plans for the work I wanted to do. With the title

Font - would do nicely, and had My People into whether the plans were still valid/needed updating. l'd also serviced the mower (in my BIG SHED) and done the lawn, to the not-so-surreptitious scrutiny of Bill. Then it was off to the mine for two weeks. begin looking Each week off l'd catch up on sleep and work a bit. This went on for a few months until I got my first proper Quarterly Utility Bill (Power/water/etc). Now I could continue a habit l'd started years earlier. Just like everyone else do

While changing out the switchboards, l'd also do a full test of the electrical cabling, outlets, etc. This testing was done, by law, prior to sale, but not

Font - (There are now some readers who have guessed what the underlying "Corpus Delecti" is in this tale.) (Some have probably figured out what the title means) Bills whole garden, like mine, had an automatic irrigation system. At set times and days, the whole grounds would get watered by a pump and timers. This usually happened three times a week around sunset. His flower beds had misters, potted plants had drippers, and the lawn had the pop-up rotating "chuk, chuk, chuk, chuk, brrrrrr" sprinkl

10.

Font - l'd never seen Bill water by hand with a hose. Weird. The Shed circuit intimated that it either had a fault in the underground cable, or it had some electrical equipment connected, even though l'd unplugged everything for testing. So, the undergrounds then. I'd have to try and find the undergrounds and investigate. this would mean pulling them out and possibly replacing them, but that could wait for tomorrow. I'd just do the house switchboard that day. Next day, I borrowed a cable locator

11.

Font - It appeared that there was a branch off the underground shed power cable. Heading into Bills property. Looking over the fence, the first thing I could see in line with this branch was Bills little hut that housed his pool pump/filter/irrigation controls/irrigation manifolds/valves. This hut was about 3m/10ft inside his fenceline.

12.

Font - Because this cable locator also located water pipes, I found that the shed water pipe also branched at this point. Things were less weird now. After marking the whole underground services trench, I packed up the gear and went about changing out the house switchboard. And had a nice think. The Plan was formed. TM The next day I got My People records of when Bills pool, and my Shed had been built. I also went and bought some cameras and a recorder. The last couple of days of the week I did

13.

Font - Using surveyors pegs hammered into the ground, I marked out where the BIG BEAUTIFUL DECK would be going. I didn't want anyone suspicious about why l'd marked the Shed underground services trench. • I put up the cameras. One facing down the side of the house that would capture the water and power meter at the front of the property. One facing my Shed, which would inadvertently capture Bills Pool Hut. Perfectly legal. • Tinstalled a mini power meter just for the shed circuit, so I could mon

14.

Font - When I got home the next week off, I casually went over to the meters, and wouldn't you know it! The brand new power meter for the shed had NUMBERS on it. Mainly because it was now turned on. The water meter had a higher reading and the water valve was turned on. So, big bold Bill, huh. Just leaving this stuff on for me to find. Next I checked the cameras. • See Bill at his pool hut the day after I've left, looking at the irrigation system with puzzlement. • See Bill walking off frame, to

15.

Font - TM I'd also had a call while at the mine from My People telling me that Bills pool, and my shed, had gone in around the same time 10yrs ago. Bill, Bill, Bill. You silly wig wearing wanker. Phase 2 of the plan included making the hole deeper for Bill. One day when he was out in the garden, I called over to him and asked if he'd seen anyone messing around with the power/water meters. (The meters were at the front of the property, like they did back in the day, to make it easier for the mete

16.

Font - When I left for the mine, I not only recorded the meter numbers and turned the power/water off, I put an "Out of Service" tag on the Shed circuit, and another on the water valve. These were dated and I took photos. So now we can establish just how bold Bill was, because when I got home the tags were gone, and the power/water was on again. I again went through the asking-over-the-fence shtick. Again Bill denied any Scienter. Two chances to own up. Okie dokie, Phase 3.

17.

Font - Just so everyone is caught up: Bill had been at his property for 20yrs+. The Pool and shed went in 10yrs ago. The Pool Hut, with the pump and filter, and irrigation system went in at the same time. You could see that the hut had been designed to house all of it. Bill might have been knowingly stealing power and water for 10yrs. He certainly had no problem stealing power and water off me. Fuck Bill and all his green shit. I visited a couple of Mates to pick up some items and went to work.

18.

Font - At 2am, with my headlamp on, feeling all Jason Bourne, I went and turned my water off. After running the taps in the house to remove the pressure, I put some plastic down near the power/water branch (for the dirt), and very carefully dug a hole. · Exposing the water line going over to Bills place, I fixed a tapping saddle to the water pipe. (Remember, this pipe over to Bills place was coming off MY water pipe.) Onto the tapping saddle I fitted the end of a length of small clear plastic tu

19.

Font - Later that day, around midday, I went next door and knocked. One last chance Bill. Jenny answered the door, and I asked if I could have a word with them both about their pool and irrigation water/power. Jenny knew. She paused for a heart-beat and said they didn't have anything to talk about. As she was closing the door, I said that if Bill wanted to come and see me, l'd be home. Now, you might be thinking "Ok, this looks like it's going to be a bit of an extreme response." Here's what l'd

It had pumped all the salt water into Bills irrigation system. 2am, I Jason Bourned the tubing out of the hole, sealed the tapping saddle, and packed up.

Invasive Neighbor Refuses To Park Elsewhere, Gets Car Towed, Expects Compensation


Nothing quite like a good old neighbor quarrel over a parking spot. In this case, the invasive neighbor at hand refused to be reasonable and park where they should've in the first place. So, naturally, the person being blocked in had them towed away. Honestly, it seems like that was the only move available at their disposal after trying to reason with them. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community seem to be in agreement as well that the towing was completely appropriate.

I told they should've had their visitors park at their house and they said "no, because we've always parked here" Okay well not an

One day I came out to find my car missing. It was towed. I guess someone bought the house and didn't appreciate someone parking in their driveway. And rightfully so. I sucked it up. Saved my paychecks to pay my parents back for the tow fees, and apologized to the new house owners. The entitlement of some people is beyond me. Update:

Font - SecondThots2055 · 2d NTA. His tow fee is what I call a "stupid tax." It's illegal to block a driveway, whether or not the house is occupied. Since it's clear someone now lives there, parking there was just plain dumb. You're not expected to pay for anyone's dumb mistake, legally or morally. Ignore the neighbor and I hope he doesn't give you more trouble. Reply 1 106 ...

Everytime anyone that you haven't given permission to parks on your property have that bad boy towed. Eventually they'll get it. You are not responsible for others entitlement. If you pay the fine what was the point? They'll figure eh screw em what's he gonna do pay for my tow? If this happens again have em towed. If they come to your house just shut the door in their face.

Font - Downtherabbithutch • 2d · Partassipant [1] If you're with a long term partner, you don't turn up at their house for sex after you've broken up because "you've always done it" lol what is this guy on? He's fortunate to have been able to use that parking space up until this point but now it's unavailable because you've literally paid for it by purchasing your property. Why would he think he's entitled to continue parking there? NTA Reply 4 61 ... +

Font - ladyithis • 2d NTA I had purchased an extra parking space when I lived in my old townhome. Even though the HOA painted "Reserved" on it, for the 10 years I lived there, people still parked there and I had to have countless cars towed. Only one neighbor threatened to sue me, but I never felt bad for towing someone out of a parking spot I owned, especially when there were several free visitor parking spots available.

Font - darklinghate · 2d NTA Inform them to find a new place to park and put a no trespassing signs up if you gave to. Keep calling tow trucks until people learn someone lives there and owns the property. They choose to park somewhere illegally. If they park there again, and they will, call again and have them billed along w filing a police report on them for trespassing and illegal parking. Those fines are on them. They parked in someone else's driveway. They knew better. Don't pay your neighbo

Font - Clarisse1984 ·• 2d • Partassipant [1] NTA Why don't they go demand a judge make you pay? See what their opinion is. This is as insane as the story of that burglar in Liar Liar who sued the owner of the house he got injured breaking into. When you do something illegal, you don't blame the victim. You don't demand compensation for the consequences you suffer. You didn't make them park on your property. Not your problem. You do the crime, you do the time (or the fee, in this case). You want

Had a somewhat similar situation when I worked at an AT@T store in the same shopping center with the only decent restaurant in town. It was iPhone launch day, Friday night, 8:30 pm, just did got off a 12 hour shift to find some idiot had blocked me in my parking spot. Literally, he just decided to make his own spot.

Font - toobasic2care · 2d NTA, I used to live in an apartment complex of 6 flats with covered parking and if anyone parked in the driveway it blocked EVERYONE in. This Ute constantly parked there. My main concern was - what if there was an emergency? It can be really dangerous to block people off from personal transport like that. I bought one of those glass pens and wrote on the entirety of his windshield "STOP PARKING HERE OR I WILL TOW YOU" he never parked there again. Reply ...
