A while ago restaurants decided that they serve "an experience" rather than just food, and that high concept really got into some people's heads. Now customers get to eat chips served on fishing hooks and croissants served on top of old VHS tapes. There's no end to all the food served on anything but dishes. For more interplay between the world of food and the world of not food, here are things that look scrumptious but aren't food.
There's a rich history of new owners coming in and completely destroying what was good about a workplace, like this time new owners bullied employees and ran their company into the ground. In this case they made the mistake of depending on one person, making him very angry and then giving him time to think about it. Good on Jimmy.
We are at heart, frugal, sometimes to the point of staggering paranoia. We're the kind of people who are inclined to look at an overpriced jar of pickles and say to ourselves "Big Pickle must be stopped." Just because a business, practice or concept has been operating for decades doesn't mean that it's not just a scam that people overlook. Stupid pickles are just vinegar and cucumbers anyway.
On the flipside, here are some things people think are scams but aren't really.
How cold hearted can you be? The mom in this scenario literally goes out of her way to tell the store what her 1-year-old (1 YEARS OLD) daughter did when it came to lifting a sweets item. And then the store still has the heartless audacity to tell the mom that she's banned. Pretty unreal.
At first glance, you'd probably go ahead and assume that the dad was very much so in the wrong, but upon closer inspection it becomes glaringly evident that there's a whole lot more dysfunctional nonsense afoot within the relationship dynamic. Probably best to just hard reject the next time around.
In this modern era with its wealth of dating apps, there are an unfortunate number of people that end up finding themselves seated across the table from waking nightmares that aren't at all like the people they presented themselves as on their dating profiles. If anything, an informative AskReddit thread like this can be helpful in terms of showcasing the red flags to keep a wary eye out for when you're dipping your toes in the dating pool. For another AskReddit list with a similar theme, check out this post about the embarrassing times that people missed obvious hints.
It's a quick and agitating story about a human being like the one we have in this tale, that can really bring the blood to a boil, when it comes to stewing over how certain incompetent individuals end up in the positions of power that they do. Seriously, it sounds like it's only a matter of time before John ends up making a fail on such a scale that the company itself suffers a big hit.
Of course the stereotypical choosy beggar falls back on the seemingly automated, rude response. This definitely isn't the first time that a cheap and shameless choosy beggar has tried to use a dating app to score a free ride, and we're sure it's not going to be the last time. There are tons of people that frequent these different dating sites that are just trying to score free stuff. You've just got to keep a watchful eye out for the signs, and then, maybe you just don't care.
There's a rich history of bosses orchestrating their own downfall and this one is a stellar example. This lady's genius idea was to make their product crappier while keeping prices high and treating staff like garbage. Where could that go wrong? Some bosses make it clear right away that playing along won't be worth it. Here are some job listing horror stories as well as reasons people quit their jobs on the first day.
There's no perfect script for how a physical relationship should unfold. That means any interaction which might turn sexy can be fraught with ambiguities. As people, sometimes we're just not looking for those signals right away. That or we don't believe anyone would ever be as direct but also indirect as "can you help me change my sheets with me in them." Whether it's because people are scared, overly polite or totally oblivious, there are times guys miss obvious signals.
Seriously, if you ever think you're having a tough morning/afternoon/evening, maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to find some temporary solace in knowing that there's literally a species of bird out there in this wild world that's been named the Go-Away Bird. We're ready for more of these.
Sure, there are history memes for the already learned and work memes for those of us who made it out, but there remains a festering pile of memories in everyone regarding their time in school. The horrible group projects, the cringeworthy presentations, the stressful tests and the absurdity of it all left marks on all of us. Some of those marks are somewhat nice, like this nostalgic thread on elementary school, but a lot of them are just scars.
Well oh well, this new roommate is coming in hot on the scene with all kinds of red flag behavior. Their reasoning for why they shouldn't be on the hook for paying for the 2/3 rooms that they're occupying is total nonsense. Sounds like the best move here could be to backtrack on this particular new roommate, and get someone new in there. For some more roommate drama check out this dude who reached his breaking point with some roommates over rent division.
Like Pixar movies and Harry Potter, the denizens of Tumblr have always had a strong knowledge of young adult dystopian fiction. For a while there it was like every new book for tweens was about a teenager in a messed up hierarchy forced to play games of death. There's nothing exactly wrong with that. It's just that like anything else, people's favorite books of their early teen years have become a coldly optimized version of themselves, designed to take advantage of a cultivated interest. Tumblr has a habit of noticing things, like when Tumblr broke down the nine types of movie posters.
Humans' capacity for enacting cunning and truly brutal revenges on one another is both impressive and vaguely terrifying. If anything it's revenge stories like the ones we have here that should serve as a solid reminder to treat other folks nicely. The last thing you'd want is to find yourself on the receiving end of one of these revenges because you wouldn't play nice with someone.
The flow is otherworldly. Just sitting back and watching this in action might remind you of your own life moments where everything seemed to work out just as you planned.
