Cursed Images are a good reminder of how lost and repulsed we can be by random images with zero context. You could call it something like a sensory response to cognitive estrangement. You could also call it "being disgusted by seeing a bowl of pennies filled with milk." Little of column A, a lot of column B.
I mean, it's genuinely hard to process the fact that we do indeed share a planet with hopelessly lost souls like the one in this story. The dude literally thought he was making his hefty purchases on a credit card, when in fact it was a credit card. Like, how do you end up in that kind of self-created debacle? The recklessness of blind ignorance is a mystifying thing to behold.
May it be a lesson to all bosses that bullying your employees isn't a good business strategy. It's also a lesson in how far some people are willing to go for "the principle of the thing." And this kind of stuff can happen at any level of employment, like in a fast food joint where this boss threatened the staff so all the employees walked out.
Here's a combination of totally crap life hacks, immoral life pro tips, impossible advice that isn't based on objective facts and a few plain bad ideas. So they're pretty funny. When we're looking for a leg up, it's always a bad idea to check out some dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. They're generally bad tips that aren't worth it, but it's something.
Humble brags are the bane of our collective existence. Nothing quite grinds one's gears like having to bear witness to someone proclaiming from their high horse that they have committed an act of profound, soul-stirring beauty. It's like, we get it...you're a good person. Sometimes, the best way to spread that charitable kindness is to do so from a place of humbleness.
Tumblr is a place of mixed opinion, but like everywhere else on the internet it's full of people's half-formed thoughts that plop out of their heads and out into the world. So naturally, Tumblr has its random, funny and stupendous gems. It could be a dissertation on The Incredibles or just a terrible observation about turtles. Anything goes.
Just a little bit of trouble in paradise. This lad sounds as if he hit his breaking point amidst his girlfriend embracing her witchcraft. Basically, the dude is apparently carrying around a whole lot of bad energy, she addresses it, and he's totally not down with it. The thing is that his girlfriend expected the support. Was he in the wrong or not, for not offering that up? You be the judge.
Whether Shane's a mere fictional character or not matters not, because many of us have been in a break room at one point or another in our lives where we've witnessed some passive aggressive/outwardly angry notes being left for troublemaking employees. By the looks of it, Shane seems like he might enjoy regularly creating chaos around the workplace environment.
The internet is a lot of things. One of those things is an open air market for extremely stupid junk, horrible art projects, and more stupid junk. Can you fault people for posting crap for sale online for an extra dollar or just a goof? Yeah, If it's bad enough. Here's more weird and dumb stuff people tried selling online as well as some of the best things people found in the garbage.
Contrary to popular belief, a lot of folks are pretty clever. But sadly, there are just as many people who aggressively won't get the joke. As a general principle, when someone says something incomprehensibly dumb but it also has a whole bunch of likes or people responding with any form of "haha" then it's reasonable to assume that that thing they said is some kind of joke. You don't want to be the kind of person responding to a joke as if it's an assertion, or you just might become one of the many ranks of mockable people who desperately didn't get the joke.
There's a moment in every young man's life when he gets the insatiable and mysterious urge to dig a big hole. There's something compelling about being able to do a thing with just your hands and a shovel, with the added bonus of possibly hitting a water main. In this case, the kid's dad told him to do it in unspecified terms. Here's some wholesome frat guys who banded together to find some lost keys.
Work is tedious and boring, and most of us in the working world have developed a genius strategy to get through the day known as "doing the bare minimum." Sure, it might result in moments of professional ineptitude like misspelled banners and improperly installed toilets, but at least it gets us to 5 pm. Man, there's a lot of unprofessional "not my job" moments of failure.
Choosing who you're gonna spend the rest of your life with is a pretty big deal. The various photographers, DJs and specialty bakers of the wedding industry have seen a whole lot, and sometimes it's pretty clear right off the bat that something is amiss. Being at an ill-advised wedding is awkward at best, and full of moments that make it clear the wedding was a bad idea.
The problem with finding a mouse in your humble abode is that it basically implies that there are other mice running amok. It's an unfortunate realization to have, no doubt, but one that's best resolved as soon as possible. The best course of action can be to seal that home up so that there are no entry areas for the mice to return. The thing is, it sounds like this guy had a completely different approach that was destined for dramatic failure. Hopefully the family was able to get the issue resolved.
With the many threats in this world, we thankfully have ominous signs to go with them. While it's extremely frightening to see a sign that says "falling snakes" or "invisible poison gas area" or "molten lead splatter zone" it's still better that we have the warning in the first place. With all the varied and creative threats to dodge, it's no question why we have all these creepy signs that make their message clear.
Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job knows that the gig can come with many a rude customer who seems bent on making your day nothing short of absolutely miserable. It's as if some people are conditioned in the worst way possible, to turn the part of their brains off that's responsible for being a decent human being, as soon as they enter a restaurant/bar. Well, this guy got put in his place, in glorious fashion.
