Friend Has Temper Tantrum Over Ride Being a Lyft Not an Uber

People will pitch a fit over just about anything. It's a scenario like the one we have here that might make you hold a deeper appreciation for the good friends that you've managed to find in this life. You know, like the friends that don't insist on staging a temper tantrum over the fact that the ride that you called was a Lyft and not an Uber. Like what? Get out of here with that. You can imagine what the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community had to say about the matter. 

This thread was originally posted on Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit where it trended to the top of the popular sub. The poster, Redditor u/Antigoing, posted the topic with the title "Friend Has Temper Tantrum Over Ride Being Lyft Not Uber." They posted the thread to see whether or not they were in the wrong for a dispute that happened between themselves and a friend over the branding of the ride share service that they ordered.

Funny, Random and Ridiculous Tweets and Tumblr Gems

After enough time spend staring at the wall, it's time to take a deep breath and stare at the small electronic wall that lives in your pocket. The verbal wizards of twitter and tumblr are out dropping knowledge, jokes and some of the most beautifully stupid observations on the internet. It's impossible to tell where the conversation came from or where it's going, but you can rest assured that it won't end where you thought it would.

Maybe in this crop of words, some will stick to your brain guts and make its way out at a party, getting all over someone. And then hopefully they'll take it somewhere else and spread it around a little. Y'know, like the casual funny joke version of the flu. That's good right?

Anyway here are the thoughts of people on the interwebs. The internet might be like one long simultaneous group delusion/panic attack, but at least it sometimes ends with a punchline.

Husband's Friend Accuses Wife of Cheating in Front of In-Laws at Their Pregnancy Announcement

This couple organized a gathering with the husband's side of the family to announce their happy news. They had recently discovered that they were pregnant and were ready to share it with their family and friends. The husband invited his "brutally honest" friend to the affair.

After they announced their news, the friend's immediate reaction was to suggest to the husband, his friend, that he get a paternity test in order to be certain that the child was his. He was essentially implying that the wife was likely to have been cheating in front of her in-laws. 

She is incredibly upset about the entire affair, and rightfully so, in our view. She deserves an apology from her husband's friend. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A--Hole) subreddit by the distraught wife who is questioning everything because of her husband's rude friend. His comments have led her to disinvite him to their wedding, which has caused conflict with her husband. She is wondering if she is wrong for the steps she has taken. 

Is she overreacting? Who do you think is in the wrong here?

Radio Station Won't Fix Phone Mix-up, Dad Starts Telling People They've Won Free Cars

It's not uncommon for people to have wrong number mix-ups that result in them getting calls intended for a place of business. Some people just listen patiently or learn to ignore it. But some of us are more adept at making lemonade from lemons, like the time this unreasonable store owner who wouldn't update their phone number so a dude fought back.

It seems like if you just asked nicely, people would be willing to help out. But that's nt always the case. Sometimes people will only solve a problem when it starts impacting them personally. And as it turns out, people mistaking your home phone number for a business puts you in a very effective place to make it that business's problem. This person recounted the time their phone number was mixed up with a radio station's request line, and it inspired others to share their weird experiences with similar phone number confusions.

The 34 Biggest "F You's" in History

These historical figures delivered the ultimate 'F You's" to their rivals and adversaries. Using dastardly and elaborate methods (and carefully crafted turns of phrase) they managed to deliver some absolutely savage responses. 

Tolkien is famous for his rebuttal to a publisher in Nazi Germany who sought confirmation that he was of Aryan descent. The author used his gift for words to write a brilliant response honoring the Jewish people and effectively telling the Nazis to shove it.

Redditors gathered on this r/AskReddit thread to share their examples of what they felt were the best and biggest moments of this in history. There's also one example that a random person felt like sharing where they got nuclear revenge on their cousin who kept stealing their boyfriends. So, yeah, that's a thing too.

Is there an example that isn't included in this thread? Let us know in the comments!

Workers Reveal Secrets from their Professions that the General Public would be Shocked to know

Every industry has their secrets

Interviewer Makes Inappropriate Moves on Candidate, Blames Her When He Gets Fired

There's a strict code of professionalism that needs to be followed when undertaking job interviews. It's a situation that often has a significant power discrepancy, and the person being interviewed is usually nervous as all hell. Under no circumstances should you start asking a candidate highly personal and intimate questions about themselves.

Well, this code of professionalism is one that this idiot interview refused to follow when he decided it was ok for him to start into the personal topics with this poor woman. His questions ranged from across the line to highly inappropriate, even going as far to ask "what type of dudes [she liked]." Unsurprisingly, he was fired on the spot when she reported her experience to his superior. Now he's pissed off at her for "having him fired" and has even saved her personal details and tried to contact her. Like, dude, what?

The woman who was interviewed, Redditor u/R_Rover_2013, posted this thread to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-hole) subreddit in order to see if she was in the wrong for getting this interviewer fired. 

Commenters overwhelmingly sided with her, and several pointed out that his actions got him fired. She just reported them. 

It doesn't sound like this guy is the type to learn anything from this experience, but hopefully, he'll eventually realize that his consequences are of his own actions.
