Clueless Boyfriend Destroys Girlfriend’s Recently-Deceased Grandmother’s Heirloom Wedding Ring to Propose, Doesn’t See the Issue With His Actions

When u/fleetsmyk decided that he wanted to propose to his girlfriend he had a genius idea. He could use her grandmother's heirloom ring in order to create a new wedding ring. 

His aim was to give her something that was sentimental. Like her grandmother's ring was to her. I mean, she loves that ring but never wears it, so there's no way this could possibly backfire right? 

Let's also take a look at the fact that this guy refers to getting engaged to his girlfriend as the "next logical step". That doesn't sound like a reason you want to be getting engaged to be married to another human being. You should want to be with that person not just consider it to be the "next logical step".

 

Seriously bro. Bad move. How can you not see that there might have been a problem here? I'd expect to be single if I took my girlfriend's grandmother's wedding ring and destroyed it because I was too lazy to pick something else out. 

As one commenter points out, you can almost see the intention here. It's incredibly thoughtful to involve her treasured grandmother's heirloom in the proposal. If only there had been another option there somewhere... like, I don't know... Proposing with the grandmother's ring and giving her the option to repurpose it or choose something else?

 

Exasperated Girlfriend Calls Out Immature Boyfriend When Her Interrupts Her During An Interview

When u/whotiatisnow's boyfriend interrupted her during an interview she had finally had enough of his behavior. 

She had been applying to a lot of jobs recently and it was taking up a lot of her spare time. For some reason, her boyfriend, Ian, insisted on interrupting her during these interviews. 

Even when she attempted to wave him away her refused to get the message and persisted. He continued to follow her around the house, refusing to leave her alone so that she could take the call.

Honestly, what a baby. 

This guy, at the very least, needs a little more situational awareness. 

I'm hesitant to say anything that he is doing her is intentional or malicious as some commenters seem to think. I think he's just an immature idiot who can't read the room. This is made even worse by the fact that he's 30 something years old and also the fact that he is acting like this while staying over at her place. 

He might be an idiot but at least he's not as big of an idiot as the guy who destroyed his girlfriend's heirloom jewelry.

Worst Adult Temper Tantrums People Witnessed

Most of us have a particular epiphany in childhood that sets us on a course for how we deal with conflict later in life. That sudden realization is the very moment that you discover that there are some situations where, no matter how much you yell, scream and cry, you still won't get what you want. It's a very important lesson to learn. It makes you a more complete person. It makes you understand that your desires aren't the same as your needs, and it makes you realize that if you want something, being an ass about it isn't the most effective way of getting it.

That's something most of us learn. Some of us never got the memo. Some of us carry the belief that being a walking sack of problems is a good way to get what you want. It doesn't help that the customer-centric retail world is built to cater to exactly this type of person. It lets them off the hook. It teaches them a new lesson that if you are just a liability who holds social convention hostage by screaming a lot, you can actually redeem an expired coupon.

And that's the crazy thing. Adult tantrums are often over the things that are as small as a child's tantrum. Someone wanted to save 25 cents but they tried using that expired coupon, and now they're lying on the floor screaming in front of other shoppers. For the price of a gumball.

You never know if you're going to encounter an adult out in the wild who spontaneously hits their breaking point, and devolves back into a childlike state that's brimming with emotional overreactions. This collection of the worst adult temper tantrums that people ever ended up witnessing is a whole lot of absurdity. For an adult who should have just listened, here's the Karen who wouldn't listen to staff about rain and ended up with a reckoning.

Employee Stands Up For Herself and Quits on the Spot, Finally Has Had Enough of Her Bosses Harassment

Sometimes enough is enough and you simply cannot take anymore. It sounds like this is exactly what happened with this guy's niece with her job at the accounting firm.

These sorts of workplaces have a reputation for being "old boy's clubs" so it's no surprise that they continue to harbor relics of a past age who continue to live their lives as if they're in the pages of a "Mad Men" script. It's honestly disappointing how prevalent these types of attitudes are. 

This niece absolutely should not have put up with her boss's behavior. Perhaps, there were more constructive ways to go about handling the situation. A juicy lawsuit was just hanging there waiting to be nabbed up.

People's Favorite Bits To Annoy Their Spouse

What is love? First of all, baby don't hurt me. But secondly, a whole lot of it seems to revolve around "just getting along." That sounds like a boring and mundane thing, but life itself is mostly boring and mundane. And part of having someone in your life is living through the boring parts and still enjoying, or at least tolerating them. And the beauty of a solid relationship is that even if you constantly say really dumb things, the other person just has to deal with it. It's not like they'd leave just because every time you pick up stud finder you hold it over yourself and go "beep!" Well, they could leave, but if you've already got a joint account it's probably not gonna happen. What we're trying to get at here is that the deeper in you are, the stupider and more constant jokes you can make. And there's beauty in being annoying and knowing the other person just has to deal with it. And if they come up with a more annoying thing to do as retaliation, then you know you've got something really special.

Just about every relationship is built on a strong foundation of the annoying things people's spouses do. Sometimes that's their inability to wrap extension cords correctly, and other times it's their insistence on introducing their current wife as "my ex girlfriend." We all have our jokes.

Customer Demands Kilo of Meat To Be Weighed, Gets Less Meat

Ya know those genie jokes? The ones where a guy finds a magic lamp and a genie gives him some wishes, and he ends up with a 10 inch pianist? We like to think that these situations are like real life genie jokes. Guy stupidly demands one thing without fully understanding what he's asking for, and lo and behold guy ends up getting something that he didn't want but still kind of technically asked for. What makes them even better is the added flair that this guy wouldn't have been pushed around if he had first approached the situation with, as Panic at the Disco would say, a sense of poise and rationality.

All it takes to avoid being made a fool by restaurant staff is to be polite and reasonable. That is something a surprising number of people can't find the strength in themselves to do, but in the end it's worth spitless fries.

The guy went through all this to have his meal weighed so things would be "fair" and by god he got his fairness. A hilariously similar thing happened with this customer who demanded a pound of wings and got less wings. With sassier staff, customer demands can go really off the rails like this rude gentleman who demanded no ice and got less than that.

Power Tripping Manager Gets Put In His Place By Employee Who Has Had Enough

Trouble was brewing between u/seb__brown, Sebastian, and their boss, "Austin". Austin refused to stay late to help out with extra tasks that needed to be done and insisted on piling more and more tasks onto Sebastian's plate. 

Sebastian hit the roof when Austin told them, "Sebastian, it's not a recommendation or me asking you to do it. I'm telling you to please get it done."

Sebastian then proceeded to launch into Austin and put him right back in his place.

There's nothing worse than when the person who is your immediate superior thinks that they have absolute control over you. Just because they happen to have stumbled their way into a position with a semblance of power over you... they think that they rule you in your entirety. Chances are that these people aren't 'true' leaders and have no idea how to inspire and instill loyalty in their followers. 

Instead, devoid and utterly unaware of a thing called empathy, these walking 'peter-principles' make a vain attempt to rule their modern-day serfs with an iron fist. 

It must be satisfying to rip down the facade and expose their power for the sham that it is as our hero has done here. This is the kind of pushback we like to see.
