Student's Roommate Refuses To Clean Up, Student Child Proofs Kitchen Cupboards


Many of us have had our unfortunate encounters with an inconsiderate, immature, and grossly entitled roommate at one point or another. It's as if they fell through the cracks when it came to picking up the necessary tidbits of knowledge from the rest of society about how to be a socially, environmentally conscious roommate. It seems like this student's decision was fair enough considering the circumstances, and the fact that the dude seemed as if he wasn't going to change his ways. Check out some more roommate drama with this guy who outwitted his roommate using the Pavlovian Method

Guy Gets Cab Ride In Driverless Car In Phoenix, Arizona


The future is now, folks. Many years ago if you were out and about talking about the impending reality of sharing the road with driverless cars you'd have been labeled delusional. Yet now, here we are. The car itself puts on quite the impressive show when it comes to how smoothly it's able to navigate the road. 

Tricky Bridge Claims Yet Another Unsuspecting Truck's Roof


Just in case you were unaware, the 11foot8+8 bridge has developed quite the notorious reputation online for its track record of claiming the roofs of trucks that fail to properly map out the height of the bridge vs. the height of the truck. Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if anyone is getting injured in the process. Just some blows to the egos. 

Sister Loses Car Privileges, Says Her Life Is Ruined


Man oh man, anyone who has a sibling knows that drama can break out over the silliest of things. In this case, we have someone's sister pitching a full on fit after having her car privileges revoked.

Bridesmaid Sets Boundaries With Bride-To-Be, Sends Her Into Irrational Rage


Okay, there's just always going to be something about weddings that brings out people's crazy sides. It could be the fact the event itself is hyped up to such an extent that it invites people's irrational, inner perfectionist side to come join the party. The thing about trying to do anything perfect in this life is that it's impossible. You can pretty much count on something always not going as you planned it. Such is life. When you consider that the bride in this scenario literally signed off on the bridesmaid's dress, and then tries to backtrack, it just seems like a lose-lose situation. 

Entitled "Influencer" Expects Haircut For Cheap


This entitled "influencer" expected a big discount on a haircut because they were rocking ten thousand followers. Um, first off, these influencers need to give it a rest. Second, ten thousand followers is nowhere close to actually being able to call yourself an influencer. 

Man Mistakes Credit Card For Gift Card, Expensive Fail Ensues


I mean, it's genuinely hard to process the fact that we do indeed share a planet with hopelessly lost souls like the one in this story.

The recklessness of blind ignorance is a mystifying thing to behold. 

Dad Breaks Out The Big Boat To Handle Lake Rascals


We love a good old-fashioned petty revenge where a dad gets fed up with someone's tomfoolery, and proceeds to enact a masterful petty revenge. In this case, we have a couple traditional troublemakers stirring up all kinds of mayhem at the lake. There's something about the lake where it just serves as this magnet for attracting some very far out individuals. 

Biggest Surprises People Experienced When Travelling


We all have preconceived notions of the places we hear about. "Paris is romantic" we think, before stepping off the plane and onto a rat who works nights as a chef. "Venice is also romantic" we think, before our gondola crashes into a fellow tourist and the gondola guys get into a naval fistfight. Every time we travel, we have an opportunity to learn.

"Ex Military Intelligence" Expects Internet Without Power


It seems like so frustratingly often that the very people that go out of their way to assure everyone that they know what they're doing, are actually hopelessly lost. In this case, it sounds like the "ex military intelligence" on staff could very likely have been making that whole prior life experience up. Like, how do you end up in a situation where you assume that your building will have working internet when the power's out? Something doesn't add up there.

Twitter Thread: People's Biggest Flops At Work


We all endure our off days. Some days are filled with more fails than others. It can feel as if the universe itself is proactively working against you. But hey, it's all about recognizing that to be a human being and exist in a world that by its very nature is spontaneous, is to always be susceptible to making mistakes. We can bond through the collective struggle. Or, at the very least, we can feel better about our own fails through reminding ourselves that there's always going to be someone else out there that's wiping out as well. 

Tumblr Thread: A Summer Camp Book Inspires Translation Fails


We love some good old fashioned translation fails. In this case, we have a funny little Tumblr thread shining light on a series of translation fails that resulted from trying to translate an English book from summer camp.

Check out some more stupid, random, and brilliant gems from Tumblr over here

Slumlord Refuses To Give Tenant Security Deposit, Tenant Puts Slumlord Out Of Business


Unfortunately, the world's in no short supply of landlords that are blinded beyond belief by obscene levels of greed. All this greed can manifest into some very shady, generally immoral antics. In this case, it sounds like the slumlord was clearly not going to play nice, and return the security deposit to the tenants after they moved out. The good news is that the tenants didn't stand for it, and instead decided to fight back by ingeniously securing a website that'd go on to be the slumlord's ultimate archenemy. 

Picky Husband Makes House Hunting Difficult Task, Gets Called Out, Complains


The process of trying to secure a home with your partner can be an exciting, fulfilling, and nerve-wracking experience. With that being said, the last thing that you want to find yourself dealing with is an irrationally picky partner who seems like they're able to find something wrong with every option that comes across the table. It's all about meeting in the middle, and it sounds like this husband was ready to do nothing of the sort. And then when he gets called out for his antics, he complains that he's not in the wrong at all. 

Store Doesn't Want To Pay Employees For Extra Hours, Ignores Request, Chaos Ensues


Shady companies that try to take advantage of their employees through not paying them their well earned compensation, are really out there giving humanity a bad name. In this case though, we're just glad that the store was so strikingly foolish that they didn't even know that the very people they told to "suck it up or leave" were absolutely indispensable to the functioning of the store. As you might imagine, the fallout after those employees left was very brutal. For another malicious compliance tale, check out the time that a boss orchestrated their own downfall
