Horrible Ad Fails Made By Complete Idiots


You have to wonder what they were thinking. I know that everyone makes mistakes. But to make a mistake and have it approved by everyone at a company, so much so that the mistake remains there all the way until after it's printed in a magazine, on a sign, or even on a billboard? The number of possibilities to catch said mistake and rethink things…it's gobsmacking, really. Keep scrolling below to have a look at these ridiculous advertising fails, which were compiled from Reddit's r/AdvertisingFails subreddit!

'With Family Like This, Who Needs Enemies?' : Woman Threatens to Kick Niece Out of Her Home After Visit From Husband


Ah, college. Specifically, exam season. Those were the days… the days I spent ripping my hair out and biting my fingernails until they no longer resembled fingernails. They had this jagged, stressed look about them, which basically represented how I felt inside. I'm certain many of you can relate. Everyone hates studying for finals, but nobody has a choice in the matter. And those who know, have compassion for those who are still in those difficult stages of trying to pass said exams. But not everybody is so kind.

 

One woman in particular, had the nerve to tell her niece off for making her husband a coffee as he came to drop off a report she had forgotten at home. I realize you are missing context. For that, you are going to have to scroll down my friends, because my fingers kind of hurt at this point in the day, and I don't really feel like typing the whole thing out. The woman explains it better anyway. 

 

BTW, 'tis the weekend, and if you're opening that app you have on your phone that tells you the amount of money you have in your bank account, and sigh miserably, join the broke crowd. Click here to see some relatable memes.

Workers discuss the reasons they like working from the office versus working from home


Working from home has a lot of benefits: You can get personal tasks done during breaks and generally have much more self-determination over your time. Plus, there's no wasted time and money involved with commuting. You generally get more time to spend with your family due to increased free time, and this can do wonders for your personal relationships.

'So I decide to quit': Guy discovers his new job is planning on replacing him, quits before they have the chance


There's an ethical quandary that presents itself sometimes in your working life… if your job description essentially requires you to help hire and train a replacement, do you do it?

It's something that comes up more often than we realize, with countless stories popping up online where people realize they have been asked to outline their job for the purpose of hiring a replacement or find themselves training a mysterious new "team member" to do their job. The problem is that the yet-to-be-fired employee is led to believe that it's a requirement of their job to partake in these tasks (or else), and when people begin to catch on… things can begin to go a little bit sideways.

In this situation, Redditor u/kamamad1 found their job suspiciously posted on LinkedIn before being asked to outline the tasks of their position. They saw the writing on the wall, and rather than assisting their employer in screwing them over; they decided it was time to take their skills elsewhere. Their decision to quit was not taken well by their employer, who was planning on exploiting their knowledge before giving them the boot, which led u/kamamad1 to share their experience on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit.

'You Must Be At Least 8 Feet Tall' : Best Dating App Fails And Memes Of The Week


Dating apps suck. Everyone knows this, yet it doesn't stop them from continuously trying their luck. Because Tinder promises good things to those who swipe… But alas, this may not be news to most of you, but it still has to be said — the algorithm is perpetually against the swipees'. Dating has only become more and more frustrating as we dive deeper into the 21st century. One wrong move and you're promptly ghosted. Just getting a date can be very hard. And even when you get past the talking stage, FOMO starts to set in, because these apps create an illusion of an endless supply of available people. The grass is always greener.

 

Anyhow, this 'endless supply of available people' is actually just an endless supply of idiots. The proof is in plain sight, ask anyone who's ever been on a dating app — they'll tell ya. At this point, we hope we won't end up settling because all the fish in the sea are actually piranhas. So without further ado, if you're failing miserably at dating apps, you are not alone, so check out the hilarious (yet slightly depressing) collection of fails down below. Try keeping a straight, stoic face.

'Let's save our time and end this interview:' Job candidate calls Recruiter Karen out on her rude behavior


It's remarkable how shocked Karens get when they get a taste of their own medicine. This Recruiter Karen was interviewing a candidate in a third-round interview process and decided to be completely rude from the get-go. Even though the people who had interviewed the Redditor in previous rounds expressed that they were impressed with his background and resume, that clearly wasn't enough for dear old Karen.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/recruitinghell subreddit by u/Inevitable_Appeal790, who wisely decided to match Karen's energy. He cut her off and told her that clearly, she wasn't liking any of his answers and that it would save everyone's time if he just left the call. She was completely taken aback as if she had no idea she was being a total a-hole. Well, that's what you get, Recruiter Karen: the same energy, right back at you.
