What do you do when an entitled neighbor starts some drama to prevent something as simple as a neighborhood basketball hoop? You figure out a loophole and get that hoop, baby. Praise be to the powers of welding. This one is in the same vein as the guy who realized he needed a permit to build a garage so he just bought a van instead.
It sounds like there was a whole lot more going on in this lady's life. It was confirmed in the comments section that the hospital parking lot she ended up parking the rental car at was pretty dang far away from where she was supposed to return the rental car. Seems like she could've just parked close to where she lived, and then when that turned out to be a faulty move, she tried to play dumb. The thing about playing dumb in her case was it only made the fees worse.
Copyright is a hell of a beast, so these toy manufacturers threw some toys together with dollop of word salad to try to squeeze in as much brand recognition as possible without having to deal with any of that pesky legal infringement for their amazing and ridiculous bootlegs. Like Beasts by Mr. Dre, Mike shoes or Dulcho and Garbanzo bags, the world of knockoff and of brands is rich and varied.
There are regrettable dump truck loads of cursed foods out there, but none of them encapsulate the spirit of off-flavor quite like a bowl full of sidewalk-colored moosh. The overdone steaks look like the least scary gray food in here, given all the egg and sinister pasta cursed food abominations that look like they smell like pinched loaves mixed with underwear sausage.
Honestly, it seems like this guy's fiancé is having a reaction that's blown way out of proportion. Like, the dude went out of his way to squirrel away upwards of $20K to be able to put the money down on a stunning diamond ring, and then you have the audacity to continually pester him over the fact that you wanted a natural stone vs. a lab grown. Plus, his reasoning for going with the lab grown diamond is completely morally sound. Hopefully they're able to work this one out.
There are always things we could improve with our demeanor or social skills. So if you want people to trust you (for non-nefarious purposes) or just get a leg up when playing tennis, there are some things we can all do to get that coveted psychological edge. A pretty simple psychological hack like knowing when to speak or how to make the right kind of eye contact can be a total game-changer.
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.
Everyone worries so much about "empirical evidence" and "factual accuracy" as if some degree of clever, technical accuracy isn't at least 40% as good. Yeah, being technically not wrong has some degree of inherent reliance on puns, but it's like no one says: "It's better to be kind of correct than actually right most of the time."
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.
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.
The E in EMS stands for Emergency, and it sounds like a non-urgent trip to the hospital for a scheduled appointment might not be an appropriate use of an emergency responder's time. Plus, depending on where you live, taking a non-essential ambulance ride to the hospital would give you a nice little extra thousand dollars on your hospital bill. The real crime here is probably that a trip to the hospital costs so much damn money, but, you know, one thing at a time. The field of medicine sees some wildly dumb interactions, like these absurd medical misconceptions or stupid things medical patients did that made it worse.
Just because something is an herbivore doesn't mean it won't break you in half like a twig. Just because something was nice in a cartoon doesn't mean it won't eat your face. And just because something is small doesn't mean it can't stab you. Not only are cows, chickens and otters more deadly than they seem. There are loads of things that are surprisingly dangerous, like grapefruit juice and garage door springs. Take it from this zookeeper insider knowledge, every animal can be a hassle.
It's way too easy to look at the world and find selfishness, but it's also important to remember that people have an immense capacity for wholesome and selfless acts. It makes us feel like part of a whole to help anyone or anything in need. Wholesome memes drive home the fact that people are basically good.
If you've ever worked a customer service job you're likely familiar with the series of daunting demands, entitlement, and other kinds of stressful nonsense from customers that can fall into one shift. Starbucks really brings the wild ones out. Some people just act like animals and take out all the emotional turmoil they're experiencing from their own life situations on the very folks in stores/restaurants/etc that are just there to help them. It's a gross cycle, and hopefully one that stops altogether, sooner than later.
With all that being said, we couldn't say that these drink orders are exactly rude, but they are extra. Would really suck to be waiting in line behind a few of these orders. But it'd be even worse to have to make them. Our hearts go out to any baristas that field these kinds of orders.
