Entitled Classmate Gets Raw Potatoes for Snack Day


It's a whole lot presumptuous for this classmate to insist on a whole new snack day inspired by this person's free donuts, but they seemed to have gotten the picture. For another funny story of someone refusing to be bullied about donuts, here's a new employee who is not having free donut day.

"Jeopardy" Finalist Teases Aaron Rodgers Over Playoff Loss


Props to Aaron Rodgers for maintaining his composure and not letting a sly act of trolling get to him. We can only imagine how many nights the memory of that fateful playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has haunted him. 

Food Delivery Driver Asks Customer If He Can Jump On Their Trampoline


This dude clearly has a firm grasp on taking the time to appreciate the small moments along the road that is one's life journey. Pretty sure nobody is having as much fun on a trampoline as this guy. 

Making A Batch of Metal Spheres With Explosives


Explosive hydroforming is the process of using an explosion to shape metal. The pressure from the explosion in each one of these tanks violently and pretty much instantly turns them into spheres. It's kind of like magic, and it's very fun to watch.

Man Crank Calls Friend, Gets Served Fake Paternity Suit


Just picturing the look of pure devastation on Mike's face when he was served that (fake) paternity suit is enough to get the laughs rolling. Goes to show that the devil or saving grace is truly in the details. Gotta feel for Mike's poor mom too that underwent quite the shock upon discovering that paternity suit in his car, when she was cleaning it! 

Bragging Brain Lords Who Believe They're Geniuses


There is absolutely nothing wrong with being smart. The world needs smart people. Like a lot. The problem is that dumb people have a tendency to think that they're smart. It could be caused by narcissism. It could be due to the fact that social media gives people a whole lot of space to talk about themselves. Either way these brain tyrants who think they're literal geniuses have a peculiar way of somehow being condescending and stupid at the same time. It's maddening.

Coworker Pulls A Ron Swanson, Replaces PTA With Her Own Organization


When this woman had had enough of her PTA's drama-causing antics she proceeded to infiltrate their system and work her way through the ranks until she was in a place of effective power. From there she showed all that PTA's Karens who the real boss was. Basically, she dissolved the previous team and replaced it with one of her own. Job well done. 

Film Tropes That Grind People's Gears Like None Other


There are far too many elements present throughout a movie that can possess the audience with all kinds of unrealistic expectations, or just flat out frustration that life certainly ain't like it's portrayed in the movies. Like the whole waking up with no bedhead situation. Or perhaps the frequent examples of entirely unnecessary self-sacrifice. Maybe you'll resonate with some of these. 

Karen The Coworker Lies About Back Injury, Gets Outed


Karen should've just told the truth from the start, and also not put so much effort into making her coworker's life on the job, miserable. But no, Karen insisted on maintaining a personal vendetta against her coworker, and also lying about a back injury. Well karma came around to collect in the form of perfect timing. The very coworker she dragged down ended up spotting her at the pool hall that an injured person most certainly wouldn't be frequenting. 

Teacher Assumes TV Trolley Doesn't Need To Be Plugged In, Learns Otherwise


Just because someone's a teacher doesn't mean that they haven't fallen through the cracks, and missed the boat on something that's so obvious it's pretty much in the realm of common sense. With that being said, it sounds like this teacher was just having one of those days. Tech support has to weather the storms of ignorance enough as it already is. The least the rest of us can do is to show them the respect and patience they deserve. Glad that everything was able to be resolved in this tale though. 

Freaky Close Call Decisions that Saved People's Lives


The universe is shifty and unpredictable, and it's impossible to know when an unforeseen danger will be thrown right at you. But sometimes our spidey senses light up, allowing us to make either fast or seemingly precognitive decisions that help us dodge massive bullets. Sometimes a crazy close call is up to chance, but other times people feel a gut instinct keeping them safe.

Sparkling Tumblr Gems Uncovered From the Deep


Tumblr is home to a vast array of hopeful goofs, hopeless creatives and insightful doofs, all smooshing their ideas together until they coalesce into shiny tumblr gems. Will it be a list of observations about lawncare? Will it be a fan fiction of futurepunk Scooby Doo? Or will it just be a bunch of complaints about being in customer service? The future is totally open when it comes to ridiculous, random and stupendous tumblr gems.

Woman Can't Stand Roommates, Breaks Lease, Roommates Flip Out


If you're not prioritizing your own needs, then people are bound to take advantage of that and walk all over you. When it comes to maintaining the balance in the fragile ecosystem that can be an apartment/house with younger roomies, it can end up being a bit of a struggle. Dramas can break out at a moment's notice, and if people aren't committed to playing nice with one another, you can find yourself in some real hot water. In terms of the scenario we have here, it seems like the woman's decision to move on out of the place was totally warranted. 

Tumblr User Spite-posts Mother's Meatloaf Recipe as Revenge


It's one of the more novel and petty forms of revenge we've seen, but damn if it's not compelling. This tumblr user wanted to get back at their homophobic mother in a public show of force, so they landed on sharing her prized meatloaf recipe with the whole-ass internet. It also inspired another user to compile an entire compendium of spite recipes. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but in this case it's a whole cookbook. There's never a dull moment when it comes to random tumblr gems.

MLM Hun Gets the Facts, Won't Accept Them


Scams are still abundant in this day and age, and one really popular system designed to separate well-meaning people and their money are massive pyramid scheme-like multi-level marketing operations. What makes them hard to deal with is that they're not the traditional kind of scammer that you can just mess with. They suck people in with promises of being your own boss and giving bonuses for recruiting more people, all while siphoning money out of their own "employees" pockets. One big issue with this is that the convinced don't want to be unconvinced, so when given the facts about predatory companies, the duped people involved just double down. It also provides a lot of strange, interesting and frustrating interactions like these, where a near stranger at this person's gym wanted to tell them about a "new and exciting opportunity."

Company Takes Employee For Granted, Malicious Compliance Ensues


Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that we've encountered a tale involving a company failing to recognize one of their employees for what they're worth, and we highly doubt it'll be the last time. Fortunately though, this little emotional rollercoaster has a happy ending. Those cheap payroll departments can get to be quite spendy. 

People Describe Nicest Celebrities They Met


Nothing can quite melt a fan's heart like meeting a celebrity that they absolutely idolize, and then not having the experience dampened by the obnoxious weight of a nasty ego. Celebrities are bestowed with quite a bit of power when it comes to making someone's day, or even giving them a cherished memory to last a whole lifetime. 

Times People Were Able To Witness Their Enemies' Downfalls


Nothing quite uplifts the downtrodden spirits like being able to witness or hear about your archenemy enduring their ultimate demise. It's pretty much music to the ears. Especially if you were chugging along through life with the exhausting weight of a profound grudge being held against them. Maybe these people's stories will strike a chord for some folks out there. 

Surprise Tire Upends Motoryclist


It's everyone's nightmare that some foreign object will find itself in their path while speeding down the freeway, and it's a common enough occurrence that fears of it happening are completely founded. This guy says that the tire was rolled onto the freeway by some guy, which is just about the stupidest cause for any serious accident. Luckily he was able to walk away from it.
