20+ Bizarre Photoshop fails that aren't fooling anyone


How did we ever live without Photoshop, one of the coolest inventions of these modern times. Before Photoshop, if someone had red-eye in a photo, a real person would go in with an actual paintbrush and paint their eye color on the film to correct it. That was skilled work back in the day, and Photoshopping professionally today takes lots of practice. But also, thanks to the internet, any fool can shop their photos with hardly any effort. The internet has provided us with some hilarious examples of Photoshop artists who tried their hardest to make their pictures convincing…but just didn't quite succeed. Whether it's trying to fake an advertisement for a dog bed, or trying to fix an eyebrow and putting it overtop your hat, these pictures have us in stitches.

So controversial yet so brave: 20 mildly questionable opinions


"Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?" asked comedian Eric Andre. After he uttered the question on a 2016 episode of his show, a meme was born. And on this internet, there are plenty of hilarious opinions that people are excited to share with everyone. Even when their opinions are so stupid you can't believe the human brain actually came up with that tweet, you still have to hand it to some of these opinions: the poster is pretty brave for typing it out. 

Entitled Customers Demand Extra Black Olives on Their Pizza, Malicious Compliance Ensues


Be careful what you wish for! These entitled customers kept calling a pizza place demanding for a free second pizza with extra black olives because the first one didn't have enough olives on it. After numerous situations in which this occurred and they got their precious second free pizza out of it, this Redditor felt the need to communicate to these freeloaders that the jig was up, so to speak. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/LiteratureNo3595, who deserves a medal for giving these entitled folks the malicious compliance fiasco they deserved. You want extra black olives? No problem. The original poster proceeded to fill the entire surface area of that second pizza with black olives. Was it a waste? Perhaps. Was it worth it? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

'New job bait and switch': Home improvement store hires electrician to plumbing department over actual plumber, this goes exactly as expected


There are certain things in life that just make sense: Like hiring a plumber to help in your plumbing department and an electrician for the electrical department. Well, this mysteriously nameless "home improvement store" got their wires crossed when this manager decided to nepotistically appoint an electrician to the full-time plumbing department that they had just hired a plumber to work in.

When the plumber came to start their full-time job… they were told by the manager that they actually had a part-time job instead, who expected praise and thanks for their gracious act of job-giving mercy. This went on for some time until the plumber managed to find a job outside of the plumbing department, which landed the manager in hot water when sales "pulmbeted."

This went exactly about as you would expect it to, turns out electricians aren't the best for giving advice on plumbing supplies — who knew?

'I've had the same conversation 6 times': Infuriating customer service bots provide 'worst customer service ever,' customer stuck in endless loop


Trying to get to the airport for a flight is truly one of the most stressful things in the world. No matter how well you plan, how far in advance or how organized you try to be, issues will arise. This poster on Imgur shared their outrageous experience with one of the worst customer service chat bots ever, like maybe in the history of chat bots. It's genuinely cringeworthy to see the repeated attempts of this poor person to get some help!

'I have been reprimanded for productivity issues': Employee gets shamed by company for being too efficient


Why should any of this matter if the work gets done well? This employee was shamed by their horrible boss for getting the required work done over the course of four hours instead of eight. The reality is that they're just incredibly efficient and thorough, while their coworkers tend to get the same amount of work done over the whole day. 

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, is a prime example of why we need to rethink our collective approach to productivity in the workplace. If you want workers to do more than what is required, they need to be encouraged and incentivized either with a salary boost or some other meaningful perk. Ideally, we can work in an environment where no one has to draw out their work over the course of an eight-hour day and just be honest when they're, you know, done with their tasks. But I suppose we do not live in that ideal world yet.
