An Imaginative Conversation On Getting Out Of Work


It doesn't even matter that this is pretty much guaranteed to be fake. The conversation itself is ridiculous and entertaining.

Something is awry in this scenario. Of course, people should be encouraged to embrace whatever pet they've chosen to add to their home. Even if it's something atypical like a pet fox.

Unfortunately, this employee assumed a defensive stance when she was called out. 

Dumbest Things People Were Paid To Do


Money can cause all kinds of trouble. There's something hardwired into the human DNA that reacts when there's money flying around, that can end up manifesting in people doing some truly dumb stuff.

Or, maybe you get particularly lucky like some of these folks and end up being paid to do absolutely nothing. That corporate money is just stupid money. 

Monstrous Manager Snaps On Employee, Employee Claps Back


Sure, everyone has their off days, and sometimes people end up hitting breaking points where they just need a mental health day. That still doesn't excuse being a complete monster to another human being, who didn't do anything to you. It sounds like this manager had a whole lot of nasty business boiling underneath the surface. The reaction did absolutely not fit the "crime." Life happens. People are late. Plans are ever vulnerable to falling apart in a reality that by its very nature is completely spontaneous. Good on this employee for standing up for themselves. For some more manager drama check out this incompetent manager who suspended an employee, and then still expected them at their shift

Choosy Beggar Tries To Severely Lowball Wedding Caterer


On a strange level it's almost intriguing to witness what kinds of bullish displays of entitlement can present themselves when a wildly irrational choosy beggar is stirring up the pot. Just the way that a choosy beggar goes about rationalizing their lowballing behavior. It's something else, man. This particular choosy beggar was doomed from the very start. Good for the wedding caterer for not getting tripped up for a second, and standing their ground.

Wholesome Things People Did For The Love Of The Game


As miserable as other people can make us, and as meaninglessly complex life can get, it's at least a good reminder that doing good things for other people actually makes us feel good.

Things That Look Like Tasty Treats But Aren't


It's a crying shame that the world is so full of tasty-looking temptations that look like food but aren't.

If only we had the digestive capacity to enjoy a mop-burger, but alas. Things that look like tasty food surround us.

Client Drags Ticket Out For Days, Didn't Have Her Device Plugged In


Our hearts truly go out to the people in this world that are working tech support. By its very nature the standard tech support job unfortunately brings with it the inevitable series of impossibly testy and ignorant customers. It's honestly a wonder that some of these people are able to make it in this day and age with things being as technologically-infused as they are. It sounds like this particular client wasted people's time to no end, and couldn't have cared less about it.

Man Ignores Fact That Girlfriend Skips Outings Because Of Budget, Asks If He's In The Wrong


The fact that this poor girl worked an extra job just to try to keep up with an affluence and inconsiderate family is just a tad bit heart breaking. On top of that, it sounds like this guy is just about as clueless as they come. Based off what he shared regarding his own financial situation, it doesn't seem beyond reason to suggest that he could've helped her out a bit. But on, instead it was just pure confusion on his part over why she wasn't joining the various outings. Um, maybe because the money was tight. 

Wife Announces Pregnancy, Husband Assumes It's A Joke, Cringe Ensues


It sounds like this guy's wife was quite the trickster. The problem with repeatedly joking that you're pregnant is that eventually you'll end up losing some much needed credibility in the process.

Also though, it sounds like he'd hit a breaking point of his own for when it came to being played around with.

Spooky Signs That Mean Serious Business


We live with more than a few cartoonish dangers in our world. There's loose monkeys, plants that only exist to inflict pain, and brain amoebas.

While terrifying signs are first and foremost helpful things, that doesn't mean they're not real spooky.

Creative Misuses of The English Language


English is a big amorphous blob of a language, and it's difficult to say the right things even when you care about what you're saying. Throw in the fact that a lot of people only know some of it add a dash of "good enough" and you've got yourself some blunderous failures of the English language. But at least there's the consolation that if you want to buy a shirt that says "Pervert" in big red letters, you have options.
