Some people are great at cooking and some people are great at eating. If you fall in the latter category, then these food memes, which were posted on @middleclassfancy's Instagram account, are for you.
You might be the type of person who salivates over a well-curated charcuterie board. Or you might be the type of person who has been trying really hard to do more with your meal prep than ordering on Grubhub and purchasing Trader Joe's frozen meals. Or you might be the type of person whose idea of adventurous cooking was tossing in a few too many garlic cloves in your eggs because you genuinely thought it was a good idea. You might even be all of those people at once. Don't worry. We all contain multitudes. And fear not: all relationships with food are valid and welcome in this safe space.
We've seen other stories lately about controversial food opinions and cooking fails. These folks, for instance, should literally never be allowed to set foot in a kitchen again.

Moving into your college dorm is a momentous occasion that many 18-year-olds share with their parents, but sometimes family drama can get in the way of that special day.
That's what happened to u/throw-away7289, who opened up about her own dysfunctional family in a thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. After her Mom got remarried to Ryan, it became clear that Ryan's side of the family had no interest in including the Redditor in family activities. It started in a more subtle way. They would ask her to take certain family photos rather than be in them. They would organize outings around when she had to be home. When her Mom and Ryan had two children together, matters were made worse when Ryan gave his wife a locket with a picture of the Redditor's siblings, once again excluding her. Ryan said that the locket meant his wife "could always have her two children close to his heart." The Redditor's mom didn't even acknowledge her presence.
This was the breaking point for u/throw-away7289. After finishing high school early and starting community college, she began to distance herself more and more from her family. She slowly started moving her items out of her mother's house and stayed with her father before moving into her college dorm room. By the time she finished moving in, the Redditor's mother expressed her frustration that she wasn't invited to participate in the move-in process.
Our hot take here is that if the mom really had been paying attention to her daughter, she would have seen the signs and noticed that her daughter was being ostracized from her own family. While we don't think that this relationship is completely unsalvageable, it will take a ton of work on the mother's part to repair her relationship with her daughter. Telling her daughter that that she felt hurt without admitting any wrongdoing of her own is a poor start.
We've seen other instances of mother-daughter drama. Like this story, where a husband kicked his wife out of their house after she relentlessly bullied their pregnant daughter.

Players are gonna play, haters are gonna hate, and Karens are gonna Karen. This thread was posted on Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/SnixPlaysAlot.
This Mom was so determined to make sure her 7-year-old son would never be called Andy, but rather the original Andrew, that she set up numerous school meetings to correct the matter. Apparently, she was worried about this from day one, and the minute she learned some kids at school were calling him Andy, she made it her mission to put an end to this. Of course, she learned from her son's teachers that he actually likes being called Andy and even introduces himself as Andy to his peers.
You might think at that point, Andy's Mom would stop and take a moment to reflect and embrace what her own child wanted to be called, but NOPE! As we said, Karens are gonna Karen, and the last thing this Mom was going to do was admit defeat. Now, she is insisting on meeting with the school principal because the teacher refuses to make everyone call him Andrew against his wishes (hats off to the teacher for standing her ground!).Andy's Mom even admitted that her husband "feels like [she's] overreacting," but then goes on to say "if we don't get this under control now, he will be 'Andy' for the rest of his life!" What a tragedy!
This was certainly not the first Karen to come to our attention. This one threw a fit after getting kicked out of a bar for giving her underaged daughter a drink.

This Redditor posted to Reddit's "Am I the A-Hole" community this week to see if they were wrong for imposing their vegetarian diet on attendees of their presentations. The thread, posted by u/ForcedVegetarian was posted to the popular subreddit with the title "AITA for forcing a vegetarian meal even though we're not eating?"
Interestingly, this poster comments that their primary motivation for being a vegetarian (and forcing this diet upon others) is due to the pollution the meat industry generates. Yet, their profession is essentially just traveling around the place to talk at people. It's no secret that travel contributes a massive percentage of global annual CO2 emissions, with flight alone contributing 2.4%. Not to mention it's not good at all when all that bad stuff is getting pumped directly into the upper atmosphere.
If they had said, "Yeah, I'm just not really cool with the idea of breeding masses of animals that sit in cages their entire lives just to be pumped full of corn and slaughtered." Then we might be discussing a different outcome here, but if their core reasoning for their preference and actions is pollution, then they are completely blind to the irony of their own existence. We're talking some serious hypocrisy here.
As Redditor NesssMonster put it… "Be careful, it's a long fall from that high horse."
What do you, dear Reader, think of this? Are they justified in their actions, or are they as off-base as I think? Keep reading to see screenshots and some reactions below.
Okay, so at this point, it's pretty darn clear that dating apps work for a whole lot of people. They've been around long enough and it's basically impossible to go through your life without meeting anyone who didn't meet their partner on one of them, at least in any major city. But even knowing that there is a substantial success rate, you can't really avoid the weirdos whenever you log on. And there really seems to be a never-ending surplus of them. You must have a bit of a sense of humor when using the apps, or else you'll simply get your a$$ handed to you. Or maybe you should try a more serious app because many of these memes tend to come from the same three.
Without further ado, let's get into these major dating app fails. Hopefully, this will encourage you to enjoy your time on the apps, or perhaps you'll just delete and re-download them for the 15th time.
