It goes without saying that Tumblr is a whole lot. It contains multitudes. People's dreams, nightmares, wishes, fears and abstract mental doodads all mingle.

The internet has more than its fair share of wild nonsense, and a good portion makes it out as funny tweets and tumble gems to quote later.

Greedy Company Man Tries To Screw Over Union, It Backfires


Man, you've got to sink very, very low to consider trying to screw over a union. It sounds like Willard definitely misplaced his moral compass. The guy was out there apparently trying to make it look like there weren't enough unionized workers to do the job, and then subcontracting the positions to his friend's company. No good, at all. Well, as these things will often shake out, it certainly blew up in Willard's face. 

Most Illogical Things People's Parents Do


Parents can end up doing some awfully silly, seemingly nonsensical stuff. Maybe it's all in the perspective though.

Humorous Tumblr Post Imagines Where Books Come From


So well, today I learned that books are adorable when they're first hatched. With that being said you've got to hand it to the imaginative minds of Tumblr to take us to creative places we never saw coming...like, where on earth books actually come from? On top of that, Neil Gaiman backs the theory, so it might as well be recognized as totally legit. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this post about how relationships evolve over time

Unrealistic Movie Details That Won't Stop Being Annoying


Sure, movies don't have the time to account for literally every plot-independent detail in a character's life.

But there are too many flagrant and obviously unrealistic movie moments that never get corrected. For some more movie dumbness, here's tumblr uncovering the nine types of movie posters.

The Annoying Things People's Spouses Do


Are we supposed to love the people around us all the time? Because their wire-consolidation and peanut-butter-eating habits make it really hard to maintain good faith in a relationship. It's not like someone's toilet paper strategy is tearing this family apart, but lord almighty couldn't you just put the goddamn roll on correctly like an adult? These are the many frustrating habits of people's spouses, and if you're with someone who does all of this, good luck.

Twitter Thread: Ex-Olive Garden Manager's Wild Work Stories


As surprising as it might be for some folks to hear, there are wildly entitled human beings in this world that are ready to go full berserker mode over a restaurant like Olive Garden running out of breadsticks. There's something about the whole "unlimited/bottomless" promos that can end up bringing out people's most irrational and plain old rude sides. This ex general manager from Olive Garden certainly saw his fair share of low points for humanity. 

Crazy Landlord Gets Outwitted By Crafty Tenant


Man oh man, you just never really know if you're going to end up in a living situation that's hopelessly bogged down by a tyrannical landlord who misplaced their moral compass. Sometimes the relationship between a tenant and their landlord can end up falling apart when it's least expected. This scenario certainly fits that mold.

Bridesmaid Wants To Bail On Wedding After Couple Breaks Up


Weddings have an uncanny knack for inspiring people near and far to act out the worst versions of themselves. It's probably attributable to the fact that you have various folks being brought together that never should've been in the same room to begin with. You've also got various people getting caught up in the hopeless chase of ensuring that everything is literally perfect. Such an unattainable goal will only result in a meltdown.
