Octopus Swims Ashore For Attention, Accomplishes Mission


Clearly this octopus is a good boi. He decided to go ahead and swim ashore to try and score some pets from some beachgoers. It's pretty cute watching the octopus accomplish his mission, and then swim back off into the sunset. 

Spicy Reporter Starts Drama With Anchor, Doesn't Realize She's Live


Honestly, it's really the sweet, golden, cringeworthy silence that ties this whole video together. If only we could get a pure glimpse into what must've been flashing through the mind of Jessica when she realized that she was indeed, live. 

Karen Interrupts Marriage Proposal, Thinks Roses Are Fake, Learns Otherwise


TikToker @mevlideahmeti had a rather ridiculous video involving a very perturbed Karen, go viral. In the video they explain that Karen basically showed up ready to unleash a full on temper tantrum over what she assumed were fake roses being spread around a beach. Fortunately, after some clarification, Karen learns the truth. It's a video like this that can serve as a good example that it's really never beneficial to leap to conclusions. Much of the time people only end up making themselves look worse.  

Ruthless Times People Were Decommissioned By Spicy Insults


Since the internet's been around we've had irrationally emboldened folks diving into the comments section to drop nuggets of pure, dizzying ignorance. Sometimes, other folks hit their breaking points. When those moments occur, people have a tendency to get absolutely crushed by the power of words. We definitely appreciate the spicy silvertongues that go the extra mile when it comes to being extra creative with their insults. Maybe this series of times that people got KO'ed by words will inspire you to unleash destruction of your own in the next YouTube comments section. 

Guy Defeats Dumb Locked Gate Policy With Well-Timed Fishing Trip


In our own lives, we find ourselves in inconvenient petty struggles that take up way too much of our time. While these challenges are cosmically small, they can grow to inconvenience our personal lives and become intolerable, forcing us to become creative problem solvers. For example, here's a dad who designed a masterful basketball hoop loophole and a guy who battled an unreasonable store owner who wouldn't update his phone number.

Morons Who Shouldn't Be Allowed To Drive


Sometimes people don't seem to understand that driving is a cooperative event. That means risky maneuvers like strapping a literal ton of garbage to the roof of your car or dangling a dryer out the back while pushing 70 down the freeway isn't exactly the best way to inspire confidence in the drivers around you. We get to see enough unsafe maneuvers at work, it just so happens people are compelled to do dumb crap on their commute too.

Company Continually Demands Password, Tech Support Says No, Wild Revelation Ensues


Hopefully at least someone involved in these wild series of conversations felt nothing short of immense gratitude over the fact that their business wasn't completely destroyed by a user that had the wherewithal to try out the password assigned to every user. It sounds like the company got by purely because nobody ever honestly thought that the password could be so obvious. Somehow, that whole approach to security seems like it can work sometimes. Just a bit of a gamble. For another ridiculous tech support tale check out the time that a customer thought that the internet runs on magic

Design Failures That Could Have Been Avoided


Graphic design, font choice and building decisions seem simple enough in our heads, but they come with pitfalls in practice. Design failures are all around us. One slip of the font can turn a fortress into a fartress or a public area into a pubic one. The architects of these design failures could use a little bit of blame. Of course, for the rest of us they just make life more fun and interesting.

Glitch In The Matrix Moments


There's nothing quite like a fresh batch of glitch in the matrix moments to send you off on a disorienting reality trip where you might be left with your head in your hands, shakily wondering whether or not this is some grand simulation. Well, simulation or not we've still got to play the game. If it were a simulation, it's kind of "nice" to know that whoever/whatever is running said simulation is also prone to fails just like the rest of us measly human beings. 

"Not My Job" Moments of Unprofessional Construction


It should come as no surprise that building stuff is hard. Or at least there are a whole lot of wrong ways to do it. Those ways reveal themselves in "not my job" moments of incompetent construction. How hard is it to build a functional set of stairs, do proper electrical or put in a window? These people wouldn't know because it's not their job.

Tenant Puts Divider On Balcony, Talkative Neighbors Take Offense


There's something about the talkative people in this world, where when they're told to give all the blabbering a rest by the ones that are tired of listening, they can tend to get pretty offended. In this particular scenario it sounds like the chatty albeit friendly neighbors next door were not going to stop with their constant chatter anytime soon. It seems like the tenant who had exhausted their willingness to listen anymore wasn't really left with any other options. And then when they do exercise control over what they can actually control, their neighbors insist on being especially aggressive. Not cool, man. 

Former Landlord Tells Lies To Keep Deposit, Gets Reported To IRS For Tax Fraud


It seems as if the world's never going to run out of slimy landlords that are all trying to pull fast ones on tenants that they vastly underestimate. In this case, good on the tenant for sniffing out the landlord's shady intentions pretty much from the get-go. It sounds like the landlord really did himself in when it was all said and done. Generally, it's only a matter of time before the world's sketchy landlords end up hitting their own self-destruct buttons. For some more juicy landlord drama check out this landlord who refused to return a deposit, got taken to court, appealed that, and then lost everything.

Tryhard Behavior That Makes People Look Worse


Unfortunately, we've all come across folks that insist on putting out all kinds of tryhard energy that only ends up making them look worse when it's all said and done. For instance, the folks that try to gain the favor of the rest of the group by putting down any oddballs that might be around. It's like they're so clueless that they went ahead and believed that the popular bully in a throwback film that got popular through being an insufferable prick was an acceptable representation of how to carry yourself as a human being. Um, no. Not at all. 

Tumblr Expounds On The Meat-Eating Nature of Plants


Sure, some trees look like they're eating stuff, but it should be noted that trees themselves are low key monsters. Trees suck nutrients out of whatever organic matter they can get their roots on, so it stands to reason that they have the option to wake up and choose violence. The things don't even have real feelings, thank god they can't chase us down. Quickly, that is.

Guy Demonstrates Reason To Not Eat Orange Next To Balloon


Who would've known that oranges and balloons could create such destruction? Apparently they're anything but a match made in heaven.
