These people are out here living their most awkward, cringeworthy lives. They definitely fit the mold for what the world defines as "cringe."

Twitter user @Adamhill1212 started a thread on the most painful toys you can accidentally step on. The resulting tweets hit on all the painful reminders, with the key theme being LEGOs! Seriously, screw those sneaky bastards. The bottoms of my feet started crying out in pain just thinking about the old days of walking around and suddenly feeling like I got stabbed with a rock in the bottom of my foot.

When a massive set wave almost trapped a little safety boat in the impact zone out at Jeffreys Bay, they masterfully avoided disaster and navigated the chaos safely. A true champion of the ocean right here.

Area 51 might be dealing with a whole bunch of passionate, alien-seeking imbeciles on September 20th. Yes, there's a Facebook event called "Storm Area 51" that's going viral, and its intention is to organize a stampede of people to charge Area 51. We can only hope that this event is purely a joke, and all the rest of the world will ever see of it is a nice batch of spicy memes poking fun at the ludicrous idea of actually storming Area 51 in the first place.

The world's most millennial breakup of all time. At least that's what people are calling this unfortunate, hysterical, and ridiculously dramatic parting of ways between a boyfriend and girlfriend that clearly need to get their collective sh*t together.

People are hard at work at places like Things Full of Beans That Shouldn't Be Full of Beans and r/ThingsFullofBeans to make sure that beans find their way into places you'd never think they'd ever be. Sure these bean photos can sometimes have the weirdness factor of cursed images but we still like them.

Nothing breaks the ice like telling a complete stranger that you've been watching them forever. It's not something you can't do, but there are probably more graceful ways of going about it. Being good with strangers is a skill that many of us don't have, like this awkward cafe customer.

This Tumblr user found a strange grow-in-water egg toy at Goodwill, and that's where they should have left it. What ensues is a dramatic documentation of the horrid looking little gremlin creation that pops out of the egg toy, when it was dunked in water. No thank you.

When you overhear just a little bit of someone's conversation and it ends with something like "and that's how I met my dad" your mind will do somersaults to try to figure out what the hell these people are talking about. Here are some of the strangest things people are willing to admit they witnessed.

As far as customer service stories go, this is some comedy gold. Our friendly and knowledgable Subway employee found himself making a "Veggie Delight" sandwich for a vegan customer who didn't realize that mayonnaise was NOT vegan, because it has eggs in it. Sometimes the truth hurts, and it sounds like it was a bit of a bummer for this vegan. I mean hey, knowledge is power. You live and you learn.

Back in the USA we're worried about silly things like ants polluting our kitchen. Meanwhile, Australia's like hold my beer and let me pit this disgusting cockroach up against a terrifying monster of a Huntsman Spider.

The phenomenon of self-proclaimed nice guys is the pinnacle of entitlement, jealousy and creepiness. This guy is too accurate of an example for why you shouldn't give your address to strangers. Dear Lord, this behavior is creepy and terrible. Oh, and it looks like he's not getting that iPhone either.

Did you know that ear pulling is a sport? Well you do now. Two competitors stand face to face with a string looped around each of their ears. The person with the string in the end wins. We're not sure if there's any real strategy. You just need grit and incredible ears. God it looks painful.

We've ran plenty of stuff on the red flags you'd do well to keep an eye out for. What about the signs that someone you've crossed paths with is actually just a genuine, good-hearted kind of individual? For all you know you've met someone who's just good people, and maybe worth trying to befriend. In that case, check out these huge green flags that often go overlooked.

In terms of choosing beggars this ableist takes the cake for being a terrible display of a human being. Upon learning that the artist has autism, the choosing beggar angrily demands a refund on the grounds that the artist has autism. You've got to be kidding me!

You can never be sure what you're gonna get when you get thousands of judgemental horny people and put them all on one app. But hey, that's the wild world of tinder. There are some successes, some outrageous failures, but mostly really dumb puns.
