While this video is clearly a throwback as is evident from the stunning video quality, it's also a haunting testament to the risky business that can be joining the crowd at a golf tournament. There's no backstop around to shield you from those errant golf shots, where things didn't go as planned. The fact that the shank occurs twice really makes you feel it for the crowd.
It's pretty trippy to mull over the fact that there's 3,500 feet of water below this guy on that jump. Also, a moment of deep appreciation for how blue the water is at the Marianas Trench. Just imagine taking a pencil dive into that water. You might end up crossing paths with Cthulu.
This viral video from TikToker @kentspeakman depicts a Karen out in the wild who clearly hit her breaking point. Unfortunately, this particular Karen hitting her breaking point resulted in her unleashing blind rage on a family of bananas. In part two you can see her go back to finish the job.
It's always a weird moment as a customer, watching a real monster of a Karen rip into an employee for no good reason. As it turns out there's actually something you can do to make it so people don't get fired because of one miserable outspoken customer. For more sightings of the wild Karen, here's a secret shopper Karen who got fired for being too much of a Karen and a customer who weaponized the tip jar to defeat a Karen.
There are plenty of people in this world that have completely understandable reasons for needing service dogs. The moment that anyone else gets it into their heads that it's okay to start weaving lies about their fake service dogs, they can end up making it that much harder for the people that really need their service dogs with them while they're out and about. This guy wasn't having any of his sister-in-law's dishonest antics at all. So, he decided to kick her out of the party. Honestly, she set herself up for that outcome. For a similar post check out this Tumblr post that calls out fake service dogs for impacting true service dogs handlers.
As intelligent people, it's our collective prerogative to do as little work as possible while looking like we're still maintaining some semblance of qualtity conmptrol. The "not my job" moments that surround us serve as a reminder that even if we do our jobs horribly, stupidly wrong, if your boss doesn't notice and a customer/client doesn't complain, then you're good to go.
There are definitely a few ways to take this whole "what do you think the future will be like" thing and honestly opinions are mixed. Maybe in ten years we'll all be eating cheap tasty lab-grown barbeque and driving electric cars to Call-Of-Duty night at the senior center. Or maybe we'll all have to move back into our parents houses because the tri-annual firestorms burned down our coffin-sized micro-studio apartments. Possibly a rise of cults? Maybe a mix of everything? If it's anything like most predictions of the future, all of these are probably completely wrong.
A story can kind of be about anything can't it? All it takes is a short writing prompt about a demon getting summoned by a grandma and the wheels of Tumblr start to turn. Good old Todd. For more tales about Tumblr's obsession with wholesome and absurd stories of the occult, here are angels and demons bonding over sandwiches and the tale of neighbor Steve and the abominations.
Nothing quite warms the heart like a story where you see an aggressive and entitled individual literally, mindlessly proceed to make their life way harder than it needs to be. This Karen decided to ignore the advice from customer service regarding her DirecTVs. Basically, she wasn't making her minimum payments, her TVs stopped working, she still had a couple that somehow worked, and then those kicked the bucket too after a whole system refresh. A whole system refresh mind you that she requested herself.
Unbelievable. For another tale of malicious compliance check out the time that a customer demanded a refund for their own mistake, and then how the call center maliciously complied.
For some reason the prospect of a deal brings out the absolute worst in people. And what's the deal with strangers claiming to be "the customer" as if this person selling their laptop is the customer service wing of Staples? What a mess. For more idiots trying to bully people for the sake of a deal, here's an unhinged lowballer having a meltdown and an entitled mom who tried to swindle the babysitter.
It's easy to forget just how bizarre some of the things that are considered normal in America, are completely senseless to the rest of the world. Sometimes it takes someone not from your home country to offer that refreshing outside-in perspective that shines a light on the strange nature of a culturally accepted norm you live with on a daily basis. For a similar AskReddit thread check out some of non-Americans biggest culture shocks when coming to America.
Unfortunately, many of us have had our encounters with testy landlords that like to play outside the bounds of what's legal when it comes to tenant rights. It's as if they assume that people won't take it upon themselves to review the very laws that exist to protect them from getting totally screwed over. This woman was able to sneak herself into a FB group that's in place for landlords. What she went on to learn was troubling to say the very least. Hopefully the insights she gained from the group can help other people avoid falling prey to being taken advantage of by landlords that decided to abandon their moral compasses. Check out a pro revenge story where a landlord told lies to keep a deposit, and then ended up being reported to the IRS for tax fraud.
As far as stories that effectively defy the bounds of what we thought was possible for the human body to withstand, this tale about British Airways flight 5390 is one for the books. It's just the kind of story that involves an unprecedented level of fearless heroism in the face of a truly nightmarish turn of events. One can only imagine what kinds of thoughts must've been racing through that pilot's brain. Also though, the copilot had to have been weathering tidal waves of internal panic. The fact that the pilot comes out of the event alive (with some gnarly sustained injuries/trauma though) is crazy. If you're looking for some more gold from the Tumblr world, check out these resplendent Tumblr gems of random hilarity.
It's unclear why someone would be so hostile to a complete stranger, but it seems like this guy got upset because he didn't know what an OLED tv was and instead of asking or googling it, he took the third, most exciting path. The path of hurling insults the way a frustrated stinking ape throws wet feces at things it doesn't understand. What is this guy on? For more, here's an entitled mom who tried to swindle a babysitter and a Karen bride who canceled their wedding, kept the money and vaporized all bridges.
Maybe the news anchor was just a highly trained martial artist in disguise himself. Alright, but in all seriousness the cringe couldn't have been more potent in this moment. Hopefully this "martial artist" learned his lesson and puts all the deceptive antics to rest.
