Having dinner with the parents can go a lot of ways, but it narrows your odds of success when you interrupt mom and insist on being the server's only point of contact. Lo and behold, the server complied. Out of some misaligned sense of responsibility or self importance, this guy made himself a target right out of the gate. At least it's better than having to defeat a Karen. And at least nothing happened to the food.
People working in the service industry are already muddling through long enough shifts without having to worry about juggling entitled, and outright aggressive complaints from the world's army of Karens. Fortunately, this Karen was smoothly put in her place after asking to speak to restaurant's manager. Oh boy, to have witnessed the look of hopeless defeat on her face.
Whether English is your first language or not, people still have an extremely hard time navigating the finer points of spelling and wordology. These blunderous foibles of the English language drive home the fact that a one-letter mistake can mean a whole lot of difference, and even spelling something phonetically can lead to catastrophically regrettable spelling fails.
Just because someone is paid to do a job doesn't guarantee that they're not going to embrace the process with nothing short of heroic laziness, and ultimately fail to do the dang gig correctly. We've assembled a fine collection of design fails from the world's temporarily fail prone professionals. You'd think that the graphic design building would have a bit of a better design going on.
Partying on a boat is fun. So fun that you can forget that boats move. Usually that's not a huge problem, except in this case where our friend here forgot about the fact that there were a whole lot of people behind him. And when that dang ceiling gets moving, it really goes fast.
Tumblr answers those questions we often ask ourselves waking up in a cold sweat at 4 am, having just escaped another fever nightmare. What would it be like to live next-door to a well-meaning abomination? The tale of Neighbor Steve provides some insight. Tumblr users also kindly elaborate on nightmares such as being a purveyor of fine clown meats as well as a roundup of the earth's real-world abominations. You know, just regular stuff.
This brief yet hilarious interaction between Harrison Ford and David Blaine does a wonderful job at capturing what one's reaction would likely be if they were bearing firsthand witness to a David Blaine magic trick. The dude's a master of his craft. Naturally, Harrison Ford couldn't handle it.
Hey man, these are strange times. Time itself seems to be kicking along at the strangest pace. It could be a result of the dystopian world we all found ourselves muddling through about a year ago. With that being said, it doesn't hurt to check that calendar before bombarding a call center with a fiery complaint that absolutely could've been avoided in the first place.
It sounds like the coworker involved in this story that ended up embarrassing herself, really had it coming. She clearly was walking around with all kinds of presumptions, and that ended up catching up with her. Can't imagine what the look on her face must've been like.
We live in a world full of unconventional hazards. Random explosions, sinkholes, radiation, chlorine gas leaks, gorilla escapes, sewage tidal waves and mosquitos are all things that we feel need some kind of creepy warning signs for. Oh, also aerated water, poisonous plants, electricity, slippery rocks, angry hippos, quicksand and heavy machinery need some spooky warning signs as well. Also cliffs.
It seems like this guy was being taken advantage of just a bit. Of course the last year has been historically difficult for so many people. There's a balance between being understanding/compassionate and also respecting your self through standing your ground and not letting people walk all over you. Human beings can be terrible when it comes to taking advantage of someone's good graces. By the sound of it, this guy is feeling a bit of regret over having to confront his roommates, but it also sounds like he didn't really have any other choice.
For some more roommates drama, check out this woman who couldn't stand her roommates, broke the lease agreement, and then dealt with her roommates totally flipping out.
Sometimes managers don't fully think through the things they ask their employees to do, resulting in modern-day Sisyphean labors. And anyone who has had a "make-work" kind of boss can attest to the diminishing returns of their demands. Anyone ever spend a day pulling staples out of rotten wood that all ended up going in the same garbage anyway? Fickle managers and customers can end up asking us to serve up contradictions, like this customer who asked for garlic-free garlic bread
When it comes to warped perspective, not all things are exactly as they seem. What looks like an area rug could be a massive sinkhole. What looks like a vast landscape could just be a puddle. Every once in a while you run into what looks like a dog with a human butt. If that's not double-take-worthy, then nothing is.
It seems like this whole situation was destined for a customer meltdown from the very start. Like, how on earth do you navigate a customer's impossible demand that involves garlic free garlic bread? With that being said, it is so overwhelmingly strange that it's actually pretty hilarious. We can only imagine what other kinds of ludicrous requests that folks working customer service jobs are having to field on a daily basis.
There's something innately humbling about being out alone in the wilderness. You're forced to confront the elements and other facets of wildlife in such a way that you're always kind of on your toes. Sometimes, when you're out on those hikes you even end up encountering something that escapes all logic as you know it. These people certainly had some wild run-ins.
It's hard to think of two characters Tumblr would have more of an affinity for than Roald Dahl's Matilda and Wednesday Addams. Tumblr has made its love of the Addams' pretty clear in the past based on this tumblr thread about the Addams family renting out rooms to college students. It should be obvious by now that Tumblr will never leave its favorite things un-fan-fictioned, whether that's a good or bad thing.
