The only thing about scuba diving whitewater rapids is that your awareness of your surroundings has to be on a whole another level. You don't want to get caught up in any boulder gardens or strainer wood. But as long as you have the chops to pull it off, you're bound to encounter some pretty wild stuff and basically feel like you're on some kind of adrenaline-charged ride at a water park.
Here's a Russian fighter jet pilot choosing to re-negotiate a failed landing, coming what looks like a few feet of the carrier and popping back off into the air. How do you say "maybe next time" in plane?
We're not sure what's going on here. One moment the dude's face is covered by some weird kind of static/glitch thingamajig, and then the next moment he's wiping it away with his hands. Their reactions really tie the moment together.
It's stories like these that might inspire other folks out there to take action and intervene when they see someone else wrongfully giving a hard working employee a hard time over something that they simply have no control over in the first place. There's enough irrational entitlement in this world to make you feel sick to your stomach. So, when you get someone who steps up like this woman, it can temporarily restore your faith in humanity.
Even though the actual storytelling approach is a bit of a situation to muddle through, TikToker @antoniaeveee makes a great point about what kind of obsessive, overbearing thinking process could motivate someone to check a Yelp review for their boyfriend's restaurant mere minutes after it went up. And then to just disregard the context of why the review was left in the first place, and create a whole drama out of it? Yeah, that's a whole lot of yikes that I'm seeing.
Who knows what goes through the mind of a manager who would rather have their employees spend all their time reporting on their work than actually working. This employee saw right through it and came up with a plan to show them exactly how dumb the new policy was. For another incompetent boss, here's a manager who suspended an employee and expected them at their next shift.
The human brain is a lump of dripping goo powered by electricity, so naturally it's bound to make a few mistakes. Double take moments of warped perspective are just enough of a push in the wrong direction where we're more than willing to see impossible landscapes and cats with human faces. It just takes a little bit of weird perspective to cause more than a little bit of confusion.
We're back at it again with a fresh collection of absolutely clueless and misguided questions from some of Quora's most hopelessly lost souls.These people are in dire need of an instruction manual for life. It'd appear they're nowhere close to possessing normal levels of common sense.
There are some employees who stick around because they do good work, and there are others whose longevity stems from their ability to blame everyone else for screw ups. This manager tried to get after a certain employee when he should have realized the mistake was his own, and it just proved his own incompetence. People have problems with technology, like this customer who thought electronic payment worked by putting checks into their computer.
It's important to remember that the designation of "Karen" is always a judgement of behavior. Karen is an attitude of entitlement, ambivalence, and a lack of sympathy for fellow people (especially those in customer service). From to Karens getting defeated by kindness to lying Karens getting decimated by restaurant owners, the self involvement, lack of basic understanding and absurd, audacious entitlement in a modern Karen is something to behold.
As long as the internet's been around we've had dishonest people eager to inflate their egos through weaving tales of pure fiction. Some lies are nastier than others. Especially when you have people literally just trying to recycle the hard work of say, an artist, online. That's just gross. So, we love it when people step up online to call out the world's lot of lousy liars.
Medical professionals have to go to school for a long time, but it's not like learning how medications interact is going to change someone's personality. As many dumb patients and absurd misconceptions medical professionals witness, an awkward interaction won't always be the responsibility of a patient. It's a good idea to trust doctors, but if one tells you the cause of your rash is divine punishment, maybe consider seeing a different doctor.
Someone needs a hobby. I mean, dude, if you find yourself in a gig where you're so easily irritated by trivial matters/things that aren't your business, that you go out of your way to complain about not having a special greeting of your own, it's time to reassess your career situation. It sounds like the protagonist in this AITA tale had developed a special greeting for their deaf coworker, but apparently this upset another coworker who felt the need to be included. Um, okay then. The coworker dramas will never end.
Sometimes, you show up for a new gig, and your gut instinct starts bellowing and roaring all kinds of warning signs. It's as if your literal bones are shaking in discomfort over the environment you've walked into. Maybe you unfortunately missed the red flags that only later on when it was already too late, seemed obnoxiously bright. Fact of the matter is, some folks just don't waste any time with dipping out from a terribly toxic, overall nasty job. Maybe these people's reasons behind why they quit their jobs on the first day will make you feel better about any kinds of career blunders or misjudgments that you've made.
There are many brilliant and wandering minds in the Tumblr community that love to dive deep into aspects of the Pokémon universe that we'd otherwise overlook. It could be an enlightening thread about how Pokémon's probability system is utter madness. Or, perhaps it's a fun Tumblr thread where Pokémon are drawn to actual scale. In this case though, we have an astute observation from a Tumblr user who questions why someone like Mewtwo would even bother blocking Ash's fisticuffs. Pretty much Ash has been packing creatine somewhere in that backpack next to the hyper potions and Sitrus berries.
Human ingenuity is an amazing thing, especially when you're looking for DIY solutions on a budget. That said, welding together your very own chop saw is probably a bad idea if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Also, there are probably safer ways to haul a boat than tying it to your car. That's not to say these methods don't work. It's just often a better idea to choose the DIY solution that leaves you with fewer tickets and more remaining fingers.
We've all experienced those moments amidst a typical day at work when it seems like nothing outside the ordinary is going to occur, and then suddenly, the floodgates open to let in complete chaos. Or, maybe it's not chaos as much as it is an unforgettable moment involving an impossibly clueless customer. Life loves to keep us on our toes. If anything, it can feel like the bigger surprises present themselves right when you're otherwise sinking into a comfortable routine.
It's just fun hearing about everyone in this story being true to themselves. And that means that apparently all that zen stuff that Phil Jackson was doing didn't prevent him from snapping at Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg like they were a couple students slacking off in class.
