The Love Island Contestant Who Insisted Essex Was A Continent


We've all seen those man-on-the-street late night segments of people trying and failing to guess where different countries are on a map. While watching a guy with a "who farted" t-shirt point at Turkmenistan and insist that it's France is a hilarious bummer, we didn't realize we should be giving that dude credit for at least understanding that both of those places are countries.

Entitled People Who Made Big Absurd Demands


Isn't it beautiful, the way that someone can completely ignore reality and just make up their own reasons for why people owe them stuff?

Ah, yes, just another day working a soul-draining customer service gig and having to deal with an impossible customer who insists on being rude for no good reason. It sounds like this guy came in hot on the scene. Well, he shouldn't have taken the stance he did. He went on to learn a valuable and very messy lesson in the importance of not being rude to the people who are serving you. That pizza probably would've fit right into one of our infamous cursed food collections.

But to go out of your way and complain about a pregnant coworker receiving gifts from her loving husband at work? Come on.
