Entitled Moochers With Daunting Levels Of Entitlement


These choosing beggars are stubbornly persistent as they are completely irrational. So often they'll come out of nowhere and bombard a seller's perfectly reasonable listing with perfectly unreasonable demands. Sometimes free goods aren't even cheap enough for the particularly evolved choosing beggar. The following choosing beggars are definitely in a league of their own.

Text - My bf is seriously an inconsiderate person. I wish he can be more thoughtful. He ordered me a cake for my birthday. Ok lah it was quite expensive so shows he got some sincerity. However, he asked me to go pick it up (he is currently overseas temporarily for work). Like come on, how cheap can you get? Just pay the $35 delivery fee, why inconvenience me? I expressed my dissatisfaction to him, and he said it doesn't make sense to pay that much for delivery when the distance isn't even that f

Everyday Things that are The Placebo Effect at Work


For everything that humans are good at, we can be pretty dumb sometimes. For a lot of people, the process of thinking something is working is more important than it actually working, so we get weird things like unnecessary loading screens and needless weights in headphones. For more intriguing behind-the-scenes work, here are sketchy secrets from various industries.

Text - dsynadinos 63.0k points · 2 days ago How long it takes a Coinstar to process and count coins and return a receipt. It finishes quickly. So quickly that folks are skeptical of the accuracy. So a fake delay (with fake counting noises) was built in giving folks more confidence in the results.

You don't need to save your google docs. They save every tiny change on the server. But people are used to doing it.

Text - UcallmeNightHawk 24.6k points · 2 days ago 3 When cake mixes first came out you only had to add water to them, but too many housewives felt like that was cheating and wouldn't buy cake mixes. So the cake mix companies added another step. The eggs. It worked, apparently the cracking and adding of the eggs to the batter was enough to make it feel more “homemade" and cake mixes became extremely popular.

It worked every single time.

A flat and boring "pank" sound would do just fine but a lot of people find that soft, plush and yet firm "pshrompff" sound reassures them the door is closed. Someone please do a better job here describing car doors closing because mine sucks.

Tumblr Thread: Chaotic Good Burglar


Many of us are guilty of living in spartan conditions. Some folks don't even have a bed frame. It's a lifestyle like this that makes you think "maybe a potential burglar would find nothing of value in my house. Do I even need to lock my door?" Here are some more random, wild golden moments from Tumblr.

Text - thestirge So I heard this story second-hand, many years ago, but the gist was that a friend of a friend lived in what was generally considered a bad neighborhood, because he was a super poor college student and it was what he could afford. He didn't have any furniture, he just slept on a blanket on the floor and had a milk crate for a chair and like an old wire spool as a table. No TV, nothing in the fridge, no microwave, basically just bare walls and a roof to keep the weather off. So on

Entitled Mom Demands to Speak to Elevator Tech's Supervisor, It's Him


If there's one person to not rush or piss off, it's anyone who's repairing an elevator. In this case he leveraged the situation in order to make the whole thing even more frustrating. For some reason some folks don't get that sometimes elevators need to be safely repaired, like this time an elevator technician took revenge on an entitled woman.

Text - O r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/Longshot79 11 hours ago EK gets us "suspended" for a week oc M Ok, I work on elevators, and was, at this time an apprentice working on service jobs with a mechanic. We'll call him "Rick". Now Rick was a really nice guy, we got along really well, but he had a bit of a short fuse. Thrown tools were fairly normal if he got frustrated. Anyways, we were working on an elevator with the machinery in the basement, and some of it was only accessible from the e

Text - Entitled Mom (never found out her name) now comes into play. I'm working in the elevator pit, and I hear the elevator doors open, and then hear the mon step in, and the loud noise of the buttons in the cab being hammered. This quickly turned into her banging, and then kicking the doors and screaming for help. This progression took less time than it would have taken for me to get a word in edgewise. I, being the nice guy I am, yelled up to her to press the door open button, but, as the sig

Text - The mom storms down the stairs (pretty fast I'll admit) and starts pounding on the bottom door where we've barricaded off our area. So she's already inside a barrier that's very much there for her safety, and she's screaming at me that I trapped her in the elevator and I need to turn it on now because her baby was on the fourth floor in her stroller and needed to come downstairs to go to an appointment. Now, Rick and I are, as I've said, pretty nice guys and if she'd come and asked polite

Text - I stayed where I was because, frankly, she can't get to me so she can have her tantrum. Then Rick arrived. She saw him, in his elevator company shirt, and went off that I had trapped her, and the elevator fell, and her baby was in the hallway and needed to come down right now so we better get the elevator turned on right now. Now Rick is also very smart, and has been doing service for many years. He calmly tells her we can't just turn it on, we have to complete the repairs for safety reas

Text - Of course she calls him, tells a story that almost resembles what actually happened, which is the last straw for Rick. Don't fucking lie to Rick. So he maintains his composure, and tells her that our behaviour was unacceptable, and that he would be suspending us for a week without pay. After a few minutes he came in, knocked on the door where I was waiting, so I opened it up, he leaned down and whispered "pack up and act angry" so I played along, packed up the tools and carried them to th
