Tinder has well established itself at this point as being a realm of absolutely absurd pickup lines, and rare, very rare actual connections between hopeless romantics looking for love on an app that otherwise is a magnet for tomfoolery. If anything, you might end up walking away from this list with every intention to start working some of these pickup lines into your rotation of conversation starters.
Firefighter school being a paramilitary entity can be quite rigid when it comes to rules, especially dress code. These institutions tend to have very different requirements for men and women depending on what they consider to be appropriately professional. When OP was in the fire academy, the women's dress code required that hair be worn in a neat bun. We have a feeling that the person who came up with this rule was not a woman. For if they were a woman, they would know that anything shorter than shoulder length hair makes for a super awkward, super messy, and super unprofessional bun.
So OP took matters into her own annoyed hands after being consistently written up for not complying with the dress code. She went the pixie cut route, big power move, and her superiors still tried to write her up but were not able to because technically she was complying with the dress code. The kicker of this whole situation? The following semester there was a man with long hair who wore it in a bun instead of cutting it, and the following semester the dress code was rewritten to be gender neutral. Hmm. Well, seems a little messed up but OKAY.
There's too much proof out there that kids are stupid and weird. Sure, they have a few legitimate reasons for their uncontrollable dumbness, like the fact that their brains aren't done developing. But that's not enough. These things will walk around like they own the place, getting their heads stuck in fences and spilling syrup everywhere. Kids are just weird and stupid people.
In most cases, someone offering to tell you about a dream they had is the most boring and stupid waste of 5 minutes you can engage in. But when it's from the twisted mind of a tumblr user, and it's about operating an all-clown meat deli, it's really hard not to pay attention. It's got action, crime, drama, science and most importantly a whole lotta clown meat. Here are some more funny, random and shiny tumblr gems.
Some jobs are more unforgettably terrible than others. You can start up with a new gig that showed all appearances of being nothing short of your dream situation, only to learn that it's actually a waking nightmare, and that the boss is a completely maniacal lunatic. Or, maybe you'll end up dealing with a coworker who has impossibly obnoxious boundary issues. That's why it's key to keep a wary eye out for the red flags before you ever take on a new job. With all that being covered, let's take a look at what people had to say when it came time to share their most notable work horror stories on an emotional rollercoaster of a Twitter thread.
It's no wonder this bride doesn't have many friends with the way that she treats them. She clearly isn't willing to accept differences from other people and comes across as being extremely shallow. It's pretty hardcore of her to just straight-up uninvite her work "friend" and not even consider just removing her from the bridal party (which would also have been fairly savage).
She's still not as much of a crazy bride as the bride who didn't want her fiance to invite his grandma to their wedding because she wasn't cool enough.
Not all advice is created equal, especially in the case of these dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. Whether it's extremely unethical, wildly dangerous or physically impossible, not doing most of these is a great idea. It's good to keep your ears open for tips, but dubious pro tips of questionable origin aren't exactly gonna do you many favors.
Not all plants are adorable and make you feel warm and bubbly inside. Some plants are actually formidable beasts that have all kinds of dangerous sorcery boiling beneath the surface of their otherwise calm exterior. If this AskReddit thread of botanists describing some of the world's creepiest plants got you going, check out some famished trees that engulfed stuff over here.
You gotta love it when the kid is more mature than the adults in the situation. It's kinda sad in a way because you have to imagine that it came about out of necessity. With the kid needing to fill the void of maturity in order to maintain some semblance of structure and function within the familial unit.
Seems like the skills she has learned as a teen has done her well in adulthood. It's hard not to applaud the way that she has set and communicated effective boundaries with her entitled family.
She must have gone to the same school of thought as this girl who set her parents in their place about her line of work in childcare when she told them how much she was making.
How does one sell a mirror without getting themselves in the shot? It's pretty difficult. And even the most nonchalant attempts still have a weird disembodied hand snapping a photo with a phone. At least they're just selling mirrors, which pale in comparison to the other weird and stupid junk people try to sell online all the time.
Jerry sounds like a real gem of a human being. There's something plain old admirable about anyone who can maintain their self-esteem in spite of difficult, if not outright miserable external circumstances. Jerry was unfazed by all the BS regularly being thrown his way. And eventually he got the karmic reward he so deserved. Love how even when he ended up succeeding while his old boss failed, he still didn't take the opportunity to dance in glee around their messy debacle.
