Breadwinner Wife Emasculates Husband's Arrogant Friend, Puts Him on Blast For His Poor Behavior


Dejected wife TAwolfofwhat tells the story of her husband's arrogant friend who is notoriously terrible with his cash. The guy is one of those greased-up slimeballs who think that one day a parcel of money is going to drop out of the sky and that they will "unlock" the key to wealth. Except when it did... He pissed it all away on day trading and other terrible financial decisions. 

Money isn't everything, but a little bit of money and some common sense can be. This 'friend' clearly doesn't have either. 

He gets totally shut down when this woman reminds him that she makes more than he does. This guy sounds like a real piece of work and maybe isn't the kind of person that you want to keep around, he doesn't even sound like he would be much fun at parties. 

With friends like these who needs enemies? 

Good on her for standing up for herself, if they're lucky he might not come back around. 

Hilariously Specific Times People And Stuff Got Singled Out


Statistically speaking, we should all have to deal with a similar amount of cartoonish hardship. We should all, at some point, have to come home and say "well today a bunch of seagulls chased me into an open sewer, and that's why instead of using the front door I am crawling out of the toilet." In a fair and just world, this would happen to everyone at least once. But for some totally unknown reason, that particular outcome is pretty uncommon.

There are times when the universe chooses one person and says "it's your day, buttercup." Sometimes it's totally merited when people and things are singled out, other times it's completely random. But at least it's always interesting when you walk into an establishment and there's a sign that says "welcome everyone except Todd and you know why." It's just one of those humorously absurd times people and things got singled out.

So good luck out there. Hopefully the universe hasn't chosen you.

Guy Exposes Son's Step Dad When Step Dad Steals Son's Present


Are we looking at the stepfather of the year here?

Internet user u/Highest-Tower3755 has turned to the AmItheAsshole subreddit to seek some advice. He is separated from his ex-wife, who now has a new husband. u/Highest-Tower3755 and his ex have one son together who is 17 years old. 

u/Highest-Tower3755 bought his son an expensive wristwatch for his birthday, but the thing was... it never showed up. Coincidentally, the stepdad got a new watch at around the same time—the exact same watch. 

This one is pretty ruthless on the part of the stepdad. How in the WORLD did he think he wouldn't be caught and exposed for this? I mean the fact that he had the gall to sign for the package as someone who could easily prove that they were not present at the time... In front of a camera... and then he thought that he'd be able to wear the watch and no one would notice? It just sounds so incredulous.


If this happened and isn't just some fantasy, then the Step-Dad is nothing less than dangerous.

Entitled People and Total Karens Who Graced The World With Their Audacious Behavior


Most of us are just out here trying to get through the day with minimal screaming arguments. We'd rather make reasonable decisions and have common sense expectations of the people around us. But entitled people and Karens seem to think that extreme conflict is the only way to get what they want.

 "Why can't I have this TV for free" someone says, pointing at your TV, which you have not offered to them.

"Because it's mine?" you say, dumbfounded.

"Well that's not fair," they conclude stupidly.

The world has more than its fair share of entitled folks with uproarious demands. There are people out there who believe it's more than fair to charge someone for the opportunity to take care of their kids, There are Karens who are more than willing to call the police over people making the "bleep bloop" sound when they lock their cars or leave a ranting yelp review because they couldn't return a 90% eaten hot dog. It's wild out there. The hypocrisy is palpable, like when this sketchy business got called out and accused a freelancer of being a shyster.

Amusement Park Ride Operator Gets Justice On Rude Karen


The thing about being a completely miserable sack of dirt is that it rubs off on people. Most of us sheepishly look the other way when someone acts like a complete tool, but you can never be sure if the person you're being awful to has the willpower to be awful right back. The thing is, Karens are so used to having their behavior tolerated that they sometimes forget that it's a big world out there full of people who just might have the ability to make their day suck too. Hopefully Karen herself learned something from this exchange, but honestly it's doubtful. At least she had a bad time.

Is there a lesson here? Maybe something like "don't be miserable to the person controlling the ride." Maybe it's "don't go on rides if you know you hate them." Or maybe there are stories with no actual lessons, and things just happen sometimes. Either way, Karen could have played her cards better. For another episode in the adventures of Karen, here's a secret shopper Karen who was too much of a Karen so she got fired.

Monetization Goes Hilariously Wrong When 'The Sims' Tries To Monetize Dusting


Video Game companies will literally try to monetize anything these days... To be fair there are a lot of games out there that essentially make gameplay out of what is essentially chores. Yes, I'm looking at you Animal Crossing, the game that literally has you pick weeds and pay off a mortgage. But they at least usually do a decent job of making the gameplay rewarding, threatening, or otherwise distanced from reality. Usually, these will be essential features of the game too, not something shoehorned in via DLC. 

'The Sims' set their fanbase alight when they decided that virtually dusting your virtual home is something that a player should pay for the privilege to do.

This well-written recounting of one of the most bizarre moments from the long and storied history of The Sims as told by u/thesmartasschick. It's a brilliant write-up and well worth the long and lengthy read.
