Space Shuttle Launch As Seen From A Plane


Usually when you're on a flight you're busy preoccupying yourself with whatever took your interest in the land of Netflix, or catching up on rest. Maybe, just maybe you're one of those traveling conversationalists making small talk with whoever is next to you. Well, talk about a fun way to spice up a flight. Just being able to sit back and watch a space shuttle ascend to unfathomable heights would be pretty cool. 

Guy On Bike Incredibly Balances Beer On Head


Not sure how open container laws work wherever they are, but it stands to reason that if that guy wasn't good to drive, he probably wouldn't be nearly as capable of balancing a full glass of beer on his head while riding.

Bride's Mid-Wedding Surprise From Groom Is Pure Exuberant Cringe


Bachelor Alum, Caila Quinn, left the wild world of TikTok divided after a notably uncomfortable video from her wedding went viral. Basically, Quinn decided that the romantic move was to overwhelm her groom with a display of love by having a flash mob sing Broadway-style songs in the middle of the actual ceremony. Maybe the whole "flash mob" effort would've panned out better if Quinn had opted to bring on more than four "disguised" singers. It seems like the sheer lack of volume when it comes to the singers just adds to the cringe. 

Karen Demands Exact Change, Upset That She Gets It


There's no winning with some customers. If there's anything that working retail teaches people, it's to never expect decency or understanding out of another single person. Is that too harsh? Nah. When there's people like this scheming rotten salad lady walking around, there's no question why customer service can take on an adversarial tone.

Groom Checks Phone As Bride Walks Down Aisle


This guy's absolutely not alone if he's someone who unconsciously buries his face in his phone when the anxiety kicks in. Maybe he was overwhelmed by all the love, and had a moment of weakness where he didn't know what to do with himself. Clearly, the fact that they're still together indicates that it wasn't an unforgivable move on his part. The viral Tiktok video itself comes from TikToker @taylortoks

Woman Won't Donate Vacation Days To Coworker, Asks If She's Wrong


Oh boy, the drama between coworkers is a ceaseless phenomenon. This time around we have one woman asking the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community whether or not she was in the wrong for refusing to donate her vacation days to a pregnant coworker. Based off the context provided here it really sounds like the fault falls on the company for putting their employees in a situation where there's no paid maternity leave being provided. If they'd simply provided that, then the rest of the drama could've been avoided altogether. Or, like what if the company just gave her more time off because she's pregnant and all that? For some more juicy drama check out this quick post about an entitled coworker who demanded a free cake, got denied, and then proceeded to issue threats

Mayor Destroys Only Green-Space Park, Town Members Abandon Town


Alright, there were doubts expressed in the comments section over whether or not this is a mere work of fiction. At the same time some folks stepped forward to provide pretty compelling points that this very well could've been a thing back in the day. Even if it's some creative writing that we have going on here, it's a pretty entertaining series of events. Talk about a collective power move. Basically, don't mess with people's parks, man. Especially if you're the mayor of a very small town, and run the risk of having that very small town's population just dip out. 

Wholesome Twitter Thread On Movie Theatre's Favorite Customer


The world's always going to churn out plenty of fails and other cringe-packed disasters. Every now and again it's nice to take a break from all that noise, and instead turn our attention to a nice wholesome Twitter thread about a movie theatre's favorite customer.

Literally such a sweet human being that he's able to make the otherwise arduous task of working at a movie theatre somewhat bearable. That's no small feat. 

How Pepperoni And Seagulls Got One Man Banned From A Hotel


It's a well-known fact that seagulls have no sense of honor, so naturally they would be the ones involved in this guy's banning from a hotel. In this piece, he tries to explain the pepperoni-fueled madness that led to this ban, and appeals for a formal end to the censure. It's a wild ride. In honor of those pepperoni seagulls, here are some animals who shamelessly wrecked stuff.

Extremely Pregnant Employees Told To Tuck Shirts In, Malicious Compliance Ensues


Of course a manager would come in and decide to turn a total non-issue into a whole thing. It's not surprising that a workplace pregnancy could inspire so much miscommunication, given all these weird pregnancy misconceptions medical professionals have experienced. There are definitely times when it seems like some managers have it out for pregnant employees, like this manager who told a pregnant employee to stop slacking.

Insufferable Narcissists Who Believe They're Geniuses


The internet is a generally beneficial thing, but it comes with unintended consequences. Notably, it gives a voice to thousands of people with the self-awareness of 7th graders. As it turns out, those people use the internet as an opportunity to brag about their own perceived intelligence, put people down, and aggressively not get jokes. These bragging brain lords believe their geniuses and no amount of self-reflection will convince them otherwise.

Woman Steals Sister's Boyfriend, Marries Him, Sibling Won't Attend Wedding


Um, this family dynamic sounds absolutely disastrous. Like, we're talking right out of one of those painful reality shows. What kind of person has the audacity to steal their sibling's partner, marry them, and then throw a temper tantrum when their sibling doesn't want to attend the wedding? What did she expect? It sounds like someone's grown very comfortable living in their own little fantasy world. Yes, a fantasy world where she's blinded by such a thick haze of self-concerned narcissism that she's completely detached herself from her moral compass.

For another tech support tale check out this story about a man who assumed that his computer would run during a power outage

Babysitter Makes Parents Pay For Items Damaged By Unsupervised Kid, Asks If She's In The Wrong


Honestly, it sounds like the parents are the ones in this unfortunate scenario who really engineered the ultimate unwanted outcome. They knew when the babysitter was going to have to dip, and ultimately didn't make good on the agreed upon time. From there, it's pretty natural for the young ones in this world to get all kinds of mischievous and stir up trouble. It seems like most folks in the comments section were in agreement that this one doesn't fall on the babysitter.
