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.
Well played by the plumber. This choosing beggar is giving every impression that they'd never have actually paid up. The sheer audacity of this person and their pompous entitlement is beyond comprehension. Check out some more delusional choosing beggars in action over here.
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.
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.
There's no denying that people are very creative as well as incredibly skilled at making such interesting things. That said, who really wants a toe bed? Maybe this stuff resonates with at least a few people out there, but on the whole, a toilet guitar isn't gonna be something that a lot of us want to buy. It's just a drop in the bucket of the many impressive creations of questionable taste.
Talk about a creative way to go about ensuring someone gets their lost wallet returned to them. Every now and again it's nice to have the pleasant reminder that the world has its fair share of considerate, awesome human beings.
So that's why some water slides at parks are shaped the way that they are. Yay, learning.
This is certainly not the first time that we've encountered a case of neighbors being loud and inconsiderate, and we doubt that it'll be the last. With that being said, this particular scenario brought into play some loud neighbors that insisted on being a sleep-robbing nuisance. So, the kids decided to be their personal, unwanted alarm clock. All in all, the perfect recipe for a successful petty revenge.
When your brain doesn't get enough of that sweet sleepy time, easily avoidable fails are pretty much inevitable. In this case, we have a panicked, frustrated CIO call up a manufacturer, proceed to threaten a lawsuit, and then ultimately confront the humbling moment that is realizing sleep deprivation often translates to unnecessary fails. We're just glad that it all worked out, and that this tech support employee got a well deserved bonus when it was all said and done.
When solving a problem, it's important to think outside the bun. This homeowner found that if he wanted to build a garage, it would cost extra. So what did he do? He found a more mobile garage. For another intriguing loophole, here's a bold HOA fighting strategy in the form of a radio tower threat.
You've really got to hand it to those folks working in the world's call centers. They're on the frontlines of dealing with all kinds of crazy, irrational, grossly entitled customers. It's stories like the one we have here that should serve as a solid reminder to always exercise respect and patience with any employees working in call centers. You can only imagine how frustrating their days have been.
It's a big world with a lot of history, and we've got to fill it up with something. Just about everywhere has its own tales of local ghosts, sea monsters, pig men and phantom roadside assistance. Some have actual cultural folk history, and others are like, a bridge in San Antonio, but they've all go their weird merits. For some extra strangeness, here are creepy moments that people won't forget anytime soon.
Not researching a company before a job interview with them is almost always going to backfire in one way or another. Even a little bit of homework before the moment of the job interview arrives can benefit you immensely. With that being said, this baker ended up enduring quite the awkward, humbling moment when they didn't do their due diligence on a bakery before sitting down for the interview. That lavender will get ya, man.
What do you do when a company makes a mistake and then undermines all of your best efforts to undo that mistake? Apparently you give up and say "fine, I'm watching movies if no one is gonna complain about this." And that movie watching went on for the better part of a decade, so not bad. For some more company shenanigans, here's a dude who got hounded for trivial debt and ended up paying them a dime.
Sometimes, customers end up being their own worst enemies. It's as if they're determined with unshakable fortitude to disregard the advice coming in from the very folks that are there just to help them out. Suffice to say, this customer ended up learning his costly lesson in the end. Dude's face must've been an exquisite painting of rage.
Maybe it's a commentary on how easy it is to believe confidently presented pseudoscientific conspiracy theories. Maybe it's just fun to say really stupid things. Either way, David Hughes presents a set of dumb non-facts about the moon landing. It's like this tumblr thread on the Titanic that's as fascinating as it is made up.
The world of retail work is full of mistaken customers, like this Karen who thought an employee was a line cutter, but it's pretty clear that at many institutions, the people running them also have very little clue of what exactly is going on. In this case, one employee who couldn't care less foisted the Pokémon duties onto some random kids, and when management found out they just thought "oh crap we better pay 'em."
How does one sell a mirror without getting themselves in the shot? It's pretty difficult. And even the most nonchalant attempts still have a weird disembodied hand snapping a photo with a phone. At least they're just selling mirrors, which pale in comparison to the other weird and stupid junk people try to sell online all the time.
Some people get horrendously nasty when they're rejected. It's as if they've led lives in little obnoxious bubbles where they haven't learned that some people in the world are just going to tell you no, regardless of what you try to offer them. Suffice to say, mom comes out of this conversation looking like she really let herself go in the worst way possible. Check out some more entitled folks and their astounding boldness over here.
Adulting is a struggle. Some days are easier than others. The overall point is that pretty much all of us encounter some real world struggles as we grow up, and move through this crazy thing called life. Maybe some of these insights from folks about adult problems they weren't ready for will strike a chord.
