20 YeeHaw-est Memes for Funny Cowboys and Cowgirls Who Need a Good Laugh This Weekend


We have recently been confronted with this lil tidbit that threw us for a loop: Apparently, Texans do not think they are Southern… Are we crazy for pausing at that belief? Texas is one of the most Southern places you can get geographically in the U.S., so how are you not Southern? Texans will say that Texas is it's own place, it's not the South, across the Mason-Dixon Line, or "this side of the Mississippi," it's just… Texas. And yet, they still claim the "yeehaw," BBQ, 10 gallon cowboy hats, snake skin cowboy boots, and all that good 'ole yeehaw life that the South and the Wild Wild West are so known for. We're not agreeing or disagreeing with Texans, we're just a little confused by it is all… But anyways, if you're a rootin' tootin' son of hootin' then you'll love these memes no matter if you're from the South, West, or just… Texas. 

'You'll get paid in garlic': 10+ Top Entitled People, Karens, and Choosing Beggars Who Wanted Everything For Nothing


This world is jam-packed with all sorts of wonderful people: people who are empathetic and honest, generous and fair, responsible and humble. Unfortunately, the yin to that yang comes in the form of an onslaught of entitled, cruel and selfish people who want everything for nothing and everything for themselves. They care not about anyone or their negative impact on the society that they benefit from—like a leech that's had more than its fill, growing fat unnoticed on a swimmer's leg. 

This is a collection of those persons" your entitled people, Karens, and choosing beggars who are busy making this world their big stupid oyster.

'You knew what you were getting into': 20+ Cringeworthy Parenting Fails


Something tells me these parents absolutely did NOT ask for this craziness! Look, I am the last person to talk to when it comes to parenting advice. That being said, I know enough to know that most parents simply cannot anticipate what the experience will actually be like. 

 

No matter what kind of parent you are, there always seems to be a period of disillusionment from a picture-perfect vision of what having a family will look like versus what it actually looks like. If you thought it was going to just be cute Instagram photos, you were seriously misled. Because in reality, those Instagram photos are often accompanied by screaming, fighting, crying, sleeping, not sleeping, eating, bathroom drama, and your own daily breakdown. But don't take my word for it. Instead, keep scrolling for a look at these fresh and cringeworthy parenting fails from new parents.

'Fired for stealing jelly beans': 20+ Super strange reasons people got immediately fired from their jobs


The deli employee who got fired for eating all the skin off every single rotisserie chicken behind the counter is living the dream! What a glorious act of rebellion, probably never repeated twice, to eat the most delicious parts of the rotisserie chickens, and then become a living legend before getting (rightfully) canned. That person is super unhinged, as are numerous other people in the hilarious stories included below. 

Every workplace has a story of "that one guy," who everyone knows did something strange and got caught in the act. While working fast food, I had a friend who got fired because they got in a verbal altercation with a customer, and the customer demanded they take the fight outside. This person was already hopping mad, and management couldn't stop them…so my manager weakly looked at them and asked them to take off their name tag before starting a physical fight. This person ripped off their name tag, slammed it on the counter, clocked out, and physically fought a customer in the parking lot. The cops were called, and that person got fired ASAP, but they were utterly legendary in our restaurant for their sheer boldness. As we watched from the drive-through window, we all knew that this person was "that one guy" at our place. 

Check out the super strange reasons that these bosses had to let their workers go. Then, this guy bragged about a trashy prank he pulled as a youth, but ended up getting dragged in the comments. 

'I will need a refund': Newly divorced woman tries to get money back from wedding photographer


Here is yet another fine example of beggars trying to be choosers! This woman used a photographer's services for her 2019 wedding and reached out to him four years later asking for a full refund. Why would she be suggesting that she deserves said refund, you ask? Well, looks like the lady got a divorce.

 

One has to wonder if she is going to apply the same logic to all the gifts she received from her wedding guests. I mean, now that she's divorced, shouldn't she technically "no longer" be needing them? Of course, Romeo the Photographer (a wonderful name, might I add!) refused to give her said refund as it's entirely not his fault that her marriage fell apart. As one person in the comments section humorously quipped, this divorcée's logic is like asking for a refund for someone's 16th birthday gift because they are now 17. Keep scrolling below for more great comparisons!

'You're probably getting paid less than the people hired after you': Experienced programmer getting paid less than fresh new hire sparks online discussion over pay


We might expect that experience, performance, and time in a role would lead us to an increased take-home pay… and that we might be earning more than the college graduate the company just hired—who has no experience and is still wet behind the ears. But, changes in company hiring policy resulting from fluctuations in the demands of the job market could very well mean that new hires are earning far more than you. Companies are often reluctant to increase the cost of existing labor—even in times of strong trade—but when it comes to attracting fresh talent to realize new projects, they splash out. 

This was the topic of conversation that was sparked when an experienced software engineer shared an experience they had at their workplace on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit. The engineer, Redditor u/darkpyro2, reported learning that their new coworker, who had no work experience and needed constant help and supervision, was earning substantially (almost %15) more than them. This is despite u/darkpyro2 being the top performer in their department. They shared how they have become frustrated and disillusioned, prompting others to share their own experiences in the comments.

'My boss decided to chow down on my meal': Employee calls boss witch, boss gets petty revenge by eating his lunch


The real question here is who had it coming: the boss or the employee? Sure, the boss crossed a line when she ate the Redditor's lunch and just said "oops" rather than apologizing and allowing her employee to go out and buy a new lunch. That's definitely not a good look.

 

However, the employee did sort of bury the lede here, didn't he? He called his boss a witch, which is obviously a controversial term with plenty of gendered implications. On top of that, he called her a witch after she implied at a work party that he had one too many drinks and shouldn't drive home. Honestly, that's not being a shady boss. That's being safe. Perhaps she should have made that comment in a less public way. I mean, this lady is clearly no saint. But if this encounter was the cause of the lunch-eating debacle, she very well may have been in the right at first.
