40 Times Wedding Guests Knew The Marriage Wasn't Going To Last


Weddings are great. You get free cake, you get to see people you haven't seen in a while, and there's usually an open bar. On top of that, you get to see someone you (presumably) care about enter into the next phase of their life with someone they (presumably) love. 

But just because weddings are a thing people do, does not mean that they always happen for good reasons. And sometimes it's apparent to everyone there that the couple involved would be a lot happier if this whole arrangement were called off. But since it's hard to get the venue deposit back, people go through with it anyway. In times like these, it's easy for the guests to pinpoint the exact moment they knew that this whole thing was a bad idea. Sometimes it involves a fistfight, sometimes infidelity, and other times it could be the bride or groom literally going "uhhhhhh can I get a raincheck on that" during their own vows.

For some more wedding shenanigans, here are some of the most terrifically trashy weddings people have been to.

Rude Employee Won't Sell To Non-French Speaker, She Gets Tediously Petty Revenge


Everyone has their own biases to contend with in other countries, and for one reason or another, the fine people of Paris specifically have a bit of a reputation for being extremely rude and condescending to people who they can tell aren't from there. Sometimes to the point that they'll flat out refuse to acknowledge the existence of tourists, the very people who fund 10% of their entire economy. It's also true that tourists can be a handful, and American tourists can be particularly obnoxious in the first place.

For those of us who try to be super chill when we're in a different place, someone's defensive rudeness is a needless exercise in hostility. But since we're just visiting, it's hard to really do anything about it. This interaction in particular might be cathartic for others who have also had unsavory experiences abroad. Specifically Paris. Which we have heard, smells.

30 Classic Fail Images to Tickle Your Pickle


It's always best to think things through before attempting them. Seldom does a bullish attempt to do something on the fly go the way you think it's going to. The moment you get frustrated and think to yourself, "We'll do it live! F--k it!" you already know what the result is going to be. As Benjamin Franklin is famously quoted as saying, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."

But, failure isn't always a bad thing, it's better to have tried and failed than to not have attempted at all. As Thomas Edison (although problematic) famously put it, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. I have not failed. I've just found ten thousand ways that won't work."

Scroll on and enjoy this collection of people who are in the midst of finding "Ways that don't work."

Woman Weaponizes "Wind Horn" to Get Revenge on Douchey Brother-In-Law


Everyone knows that person who, no matter what they do or eat, has a weapon of mass destruction in their gut. These people are the ones you call when you want to clear a room or violate the Geneva convention. 

Those who have been branded as such because of their stanky brand unabashedly wear it as a badge of honor, just as our narrator does in this story. These people often (rightfully) have no shame about the gift that has been bestowed on them and are (thankfully) almost always the sort who loves a good self-deprecating joke and can make light of any situation without letting their ego get the better of them. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by the butt-blaster, Redditor u/GassyMcThrowaway, whose "throwaway" account is aptly named. She posted the topic, well, to tell of her petty revenge that she orchestrated against her "Chad" of a brother-in-law. The guy was being brazenly rude so she hit him with her poison gas attack. It was super effective.

35 Star Trek Memes That Go Pretty Boldly


Star Trek is a great many things. For some, it's a splendid example of a universe where human beings have put aside their differences to work together and push themselves out among the stars so that we can explore straightforward, allegorical narratives. For some of us it depicts the great struggle that man must have with himself, even in the terrific future. But really, at it's heart, it is truly about imagining what kind of sexy shenanigans you could get up to in the holodeck. Seriously, whoever has to clean that thing deserves twice as much as what they're making, because whatever everyone else is making in there has to be hard to mop up.

Anyway, it's a good show. Isn't it wild that every single alien looks a lot like a regular dude but with an extra crinkly forehead? Here are some more Star Trek memes that are set to stunning.
