Man, any time we see a landlord try to pull a fast one on a tenant, and then the tenant proceeds to teach them a lesson, it warms our hearts. In this case, it really just seems like the landlord didn't expect the tenant to do their research. From there, soon as the truth came to light, you can pick up the clear scent of resignation from the landlord trying to continue onward with their antics. Check out another time a shady landlord was defeated by a moral enforcer.
Some dog owners have all the luck. This dude is clearly living his best life.
Just because someone's being paid to do their job doesn't mean that they're not prone to moments of complete and helpless failure. Some failures are more impactful than others. This particular failtastrophe involves a power plant chimney falling across some wires and right on into some poor and unfortunate building storing transformers.
Too many of us have fallen victim to moments where we realize we were eating something completely different, if not more disgusting than we ever anticipated. In this case, we have an ex-bartender/TikToker @pbnjonny divulging a tale of his own food-inspired fail confusion to the rest of the online world with nothing short of admirable humility.
There's a tradition in the U.S. navy that no submarine is lost at sea, and every Christmas a broadcast is sent out to all the crews of those subs still on duty. Naturally, tumblr took it and made it into a whole ghost ship thing, which is somehow macabre but also heartwarming. Why not, people see some unexplained stuff at sea. For a totally classic navy story, here's a Navy operations officer who pulled the laziest move ever.
Nothing can quite bring the blood to a boil like having to deal with a stubborn company that won't be reasonable when it comes to entirely reasonable demands. Fortunately (or unfortunately for the company) this manager was able to exercise some ingenious strategy when it came to forcing their company's hand, and getting the computer upgrade they desired. For another glory story from the tech support world check out this tale about a shady manager who tried to impersonate an employee, and proceeded to fail miserably.
People on the internet will break out in a fiery debate over just about anything. In this case, we have Tumblr users from various corners of the globe offering their hot takes on the proper way to measure time and space. Basically, there's always going to be a different way to measure time and space. For some more gold from Tumblr, check out this Tumblr thread about how the Rocky Horror picture show was freedom.
Co-Creator of Pathfinder @Jameslsutter has enough experience in fantasy cartography to know when a place is supposed to look believable or not. His diagnosis is that Louisiana has done a great job of convincing him that New Orleans exists when in fact it's laid out like a real not my job, "4:30 on a Friday" kind of map-making project. For fans of fantasy, here's a Tumblr thread on the theory surrounding Dwarves' super intelligent beards.
Trying to pass off counterfeit bills is one of the dumbest things that a human being can do. Just picturing the look on this guy's face when he returned to the gas station, and saw those cops waiting to take him in is priceless. The fact that he had almost $2K of counterfeit bills on him was the true icing on the cake.
Anyone who has ever muddled through the truly trying experience that is working a customer service gig knows that the job comes with a whole lot of waking nightmares. It's stories like these that should serve as a solid reminder to always exercise patience and respect with whoever you're interacting with in the customer service realm. The days are already long enough as it is.
We live in an unfair world, but one of the great levelers is the belief that at some point in time, everyone is going to have a bad day. It's a lot harder to believe that when people and things get singled out so unfairlythat reality becomes absurd. It seems like sometimes people and things get singled outto the point that it seems comically impossible for them to catch a break.
People will fanfic anything and there is no way to escape it. Even if you're just an insurance mascot. This would be a lot worse if it were some tacky native advertising scheme to make insurance companies seem quirky, but in this case it really looks like people make insurance fan fiction for the love of the game. For some more unbridled creativity people threw together, here's an awesome tumblr thread about being a human on a Vulcan ship or this tumblr thread imagining college students living with the Addams family.
In most cases, someone offering to tell you about a dream they had is the most boring and stupid waste of 5 minutes you can engage in. But when it's from the twisted mind of a tumblr user, and it's about operating an all-clown meat deli, it's really hard not to pay attention. It's got action, crime, drama, science and most importantly a whole lotta clown meat. Here are some more funny, random and shiny tumblr gems.
We can always rely on the wonderful, ever wandering minds of the Tumblr world to lead us down the rich rabbit holes brimming with boundless creativity. In this case, we have a Tumblr user go off on quite the inspired tangent about the "history" behind New York Central's "Mercury" engines. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with these Tumblr gems of the sparkling variety.
Kids are weird and they lie a lot, but there's a really strange tendency for three and four-year-olds to mention "back when I flew helicopters in 'nam" or "my previous mother wasn't as nice as you." Is it a weird combination of dreams they had, the power of suggestion, and the fact that kids sometimes don't know what they're saying? Almost certainly. Is it also extremely creepy when a very small child insists that they were a crooked cop who was buried in an unmarked grave? Very much so, yeah. Here's a twitter thread of people's kids saying similarly creepy stuff.
Existence is weird. We take it for granted. It's as if we're conditioned from a young age to overlook the more notably mysterious matters of this thing we call life. Some moments are weirder than others. Like, you feel like you witnessed a literal video game glitch, but it's your life. Sometimes, you encounter an experience that defies the very nature of the reality that you occupy. From there, hopefully you can tell some willing listening ears. Otherwise, you can always share your surreal encounter on a thread like the one we have here.
Little did you know, but there's a whole tidal wave of passion going into the whole "ugly fruit" cause. Yes, all you have to do is read this thread from Dr Sarah Taber, and you'll quickly see that there's some substance to the whole matter.
Uh oh, this is quite the situation. It sounds like this guy has all kinds of imminent financial ruin on the horizon. And then, when he's served up a bit of a reality check, he reverts to a temper tantrum state of mind. The folks in the comments section were not forgiving.
Known to some, but definitely not known to enough, Arnold Shwarzenegger was featured in quite a few ads in Japan in the late 80s and early 90s. There are way more than this one. It's not uncommon for American celebrities to shill themselves in other countries where they won't cheapen themselves in the eyes of their domestic audience. But that doesn't make it any less funny to see Snoop Dogg bust out of a refrigerator to sell German cell phone services. Honestly, money aside it would be very hard to turn this type of offer down. It has a very "do it just to say you did" quality to it.
