What a classic choosing beggar scenario right here. They want something, they get the something, and then their own blinding entitlement leaves them convinced that they somehow got screwed over. It's fascinating (in a bad way) on some level to watch this kind of interaction so grossly devoid of logic, play itself out.
So, usually in metalworking, you'd shape stuff by with a punch or a press. At least that's what Wikipedia says. Wikipedia also says that hydroforming is the process of shaping metal using water pressure. For materials that are too strong or large for traditional hydroforming, one option is explosive forming, sometimes called explosive hydroforming. That's where the pressure used to shape metal comes from, you guessed it, an explosion. This ends our remedial knowledge of the complex processes involved with metalworking. Just watch the thing go bang.
The cringe is practically excruciating. Sometimes, you end up crossing paths with an individual who seems as if they have never welcomed the warm embrace of optimism in their lives. This general manager is definitely giving off those vibes.
Just imagine for a terrible, daunting second that the internet wasn't a thing, and thus people would never have been able to discover this gem embedded in the heart of humanity. Seriously, what a situation we have going on here.
After this guy's coworker bullied the office mom to get his way, he stepped in to make sure his coworker's selfish pizza plan didn't come to fruition. The world has its fair share of entitled people and their wild demands, and a whole lot of people who get inadvisable but satisfying petty revenge.
There's something innately fascinating about seeing various human beings manage to make things in this crazy thing called "life" work, that look totally dumb when considered at surface level.
Man, if there's one thing that always rings true, it is that nobody should ever be messing with folks in the IT department. In many ways the IT department consists of very smart individuals with the keys to the kingdom. Or least the skillset to engineer the kind of masterful revenge that's untraceable and utterly devastating. Sounds like this particular marketing queen was served the justice that she deserved.
Check out some more gold from the IT world with this tech support employee who called a mean Karen's bluff.
Few things are quite as frustrating as dealing with an individual who clearly failed at something, and then stubbornly refuses to own up to it. It's like, we see you. You messed up. Now we can all move on from the mistake together if you but take the precious, magical moment to acknowledge that you messed up. That's all it takes.
In no way do these lapses in judgement reflect the actual intelligence of these upstanding dudes. The thing is, so many of us can unknowingly go through life without realizing that we're doing something completely wrong. That poor guy's hands.
It doesn't take too much of a shift in perspective to totally change what we think we're looking at. In the land of weird perspective, the sky becomes the earth, people have dog faces, plastic bags become fauna, and people's hands get all weird. It's at least fun to believe for a second that a truck could haul a massive building thanks to the magic powers of perspective confuzzling double takery.
Sure, the get 'er done mentality is an effective way to motivate yourself to complete tough jobs and long hours, but when it's used by your boss to justify lowering you on a backhoe over the side of a cliff, you're entering safety failureterritory. Anyone with a physical job is regularly tempted or ordered to take scary shortcuts in the form of safety failures that would make OSHA faint. Gotta admit, jacking a car up with a plastic chair doesn't really seem worth it.
Anyone who has ever worked service or retail knows full well the absolute devastation an entitled Karen can wreak on your shift. This one in particular felt like a bustling bar should have no problem suiting the needs of a party of 35, and felt the wrath of a staff overworked. Sometimes the Karens aren't just inconvenienced, sometimes they're defeated by overwhelming kindness.
Just in case you weren't already aware, folks working IT end up dealing with all kinds of catastrophically clueless customers. Some are certainly in a league of their own. This dude's brief yet vivid description of dealing with some IT absurdity might be enough information to convince you to never pursue a career in the IT industry.
It's important to be a good guest, and that damned social contract forces us to do some pretty stupid things. We'll sit at a great aunt's table and choke down chipped beef Jello pudding just so that we don't have to be honest about her horrible taste and total lack of culinary skill. Go us and our willingness to tolerate these cursed food abominations. Here are some more of the worst foods people have eaten.
We're not sure what was going through this Karen's head. To have the nerve to literally expect your kid to be able to just steal another kid's toys, just because, escapes all rhyme and reason. It sounds like the dude on the other end of this put her in her place, and it wasn't the first time -- nor will it be the last time. Some folks are hurting for the reality check more than others.
Building a house is hard. Or at least it seems like it when you see all the "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism that go into building anything. People really have a knack for putting toilets in inconvenient places. Who knows, maybe it's nice to have a toilet at the top of the stairs? It becomes a place to survey your domain. Either way, there's no project that goes on without a few moments of professional ineptitude.
Uh oh, you better buckle on up because we have some trouble in an otherwise serene lover's paradise. This dude decided that he'd tell his girlfriend that she's too obsessed with her dog. Could the fella have said just about anything that would've been better than that? Yes. Yes, but here we are.
Many of us have crossed unfortunate paths with terribly entitled rich kids that all seem to carry this unconscious assumption that the world as they know it exists to satiate their every pressing desire. Maybe you've had an experience where you were able to serve up a swift and satisfying reality check to one of these rich kids. Sometimes, even the reality check itself isn't enough to shake a spoiled rich kid out of their ways. Check out some more of people's craziest rich kid syndrome stories over here.
Just in case you didn't know at this point, the whole Battlebots scene is nothing short of a brutal, gladiatorial spectacle. These dudes aren't playing games. It's a good thing that they didn't cheap out on the bulletproof glass.
