MSNBC Correspondent Drops Some Big Swears On Air


Ken Dilanian found himself in an embarrassing predicament after technical difficulties led him to use some out-of-context choice words on air. It's not like we haven't heard anything like this before, but it feels nice to see them said on live TV. Gotta love that long-ass pause.

Employees Forced To Listen To Terrible Corporate Concert


The fact that this "idea" went from concept to actual execution kind of boggles the mind. Whoever thought this was a good idea, and then managed to sell the company on it for an actual corporate concert deserves a pat on the back. Maybe it was just one big troll all along.

Turkish Reporter Realizes He's Talking To Mushroom Instead Of Mic


You gotta love the way he handles that moment when he realizes he's been talking to a mushroom, instead of his mic. Clearly, a funguy who is able to laugh at himself.

Mindless Things Said By Credit Card Customers


Some people just dig their own holes when it comes to credit card conundrums. Seriously, every now and again the clueless credit card customer will seemingly craft a mess from a situation that otherwise would've been completely peaceful. Or, you've got that level of profound ignorance that results in a credit card customer calling to complain about "interest" that was actually a charge from Payless Shoes.

Text - r/talesfromcallcenters + Join u/HoneyDippinDan • 1y More dumb things uttered by my credit card customers. Customer: I can't believe you guys charged me $46.72 in interest when my balance is barely $200. Me: l'm looking at your bill and I don't show that we charged you any interest. Customer: Well I'm looking right at it. It's right there on July 17th. Me: Do you mean the charge marked "Payless Shoes"? Customer: Yeah, that's the one. Me: That's not interest, that's a charge made at Payless

Text - Customer: How can you be so sure? Customer: I just got my new card but there seems to be a couple issues here. First of all, you completely misspelled my name. It has my neighbors name on it. Plus you guys seem to be using his address. Customer: I don't plan on paying my bill with you guys for a couple months, so I need you to shut off the interest and late payment fees.

3.

Text - Customer: I can't believe believe you closed my account just because I was late one time. Is that any way to do business? Note: She was counting a nine month stint of nonpayment as "one time". Customer: I'm tired of you guys constantly giving me late fees and shutting off my card. This crap happens almost every single month. So what if I don't pay my bills, does that make me some sort of deadbeat?

4.

Text - Customer: Is my card still good? I need to use it tonight. Me: Were you aware that your account has been collections for the past two years? Customer: Yeah, I know about that. But is my card still good? Customer: I don't understand why you guys closed my account. I've been working very closely with your collections department for almost three years now. Customer: I went through your automated system, and it would only listed off charges up until today. What I need to know is what things l

Text - Me: Ma'am, we have no way of determining what you are buying next month. Customer: Well how the hell do you expect me to make up my budget for next month? Customer: Does my bill include charges from things I am buying in the future? Customer: You guys are idiots. I only get paid on the 1st of every month and your bill doesn't arrive until the 10th of each month. By that time, I've spent my entire paycheck. You guys aren't going to see a single red cent until you get your shit together and

Text - Note: I had to hit the mute button really quick on this one so he wouldn't hear me laughing. The man had a certain passion in his voice that made me realize that he truly believed we were the screw ups. Customer: Do you realize someone put a message on your website saying the website is down for updates? Also, I haven't been able to log in to your website. Me: It's okay, we put that message there. Customer: Why? Me: To let you know that our website is down for updates and you won't be abl

People's Most Treasured Budget Recipes


At some point in their lives, just about everyone has had to feed themselves on almost no money. The recipes we develop can take on a sort of mythic status and carry on a life of their own. From the broke college student to the random kid rooting around their own kitchen, we all develop our own poverty meals. For the exact opposite of this, here's wild examples of rich people being totally out of touch.

She fed them 'Hobo Sandwiches' which were what ever she had left; homemade bread slices toasted in the skillet with a fried egg, slice of cheese, pat of butter, leftover slice of roast or ham or sausage or brisket. Whatever she had, she shared. There was a mark on her back gate post that said a nice lady here wil

Tenderize, fry them up make gravy out of the drippings and serve with mashed potatoes. The whole meal probably cost less than 5 bucks in 70s dollars, and I'm telling you nothing tasted better. I made it for my kids when they were growing up and they still ask me for it sometimes. She would be 94 today. Love you miss you mom

You just cut the squash into thin round and cook in a pan with a little oil until they're just soft. Scramble the eggs with the squash, add a bunch of pepper, some salt. Sometimes we ate it over noodles or rice.

Text - dustbin_laden 490 points · 3 months ago Pizza in Italy was originally only eaten by poor people who couldn't afford proper meals, and so they used the basics of flour, tomatoes and other cheap items to come up with pizza. However instead of the meat and other things on modern pizza, the basic vegetables make the pizza just as tasty and I always enjoy eating it.

Owner Responds To Ridiculous Review Of Auto Shop


Some people in this world are impossible to please. It's as if they've set out on a completely irrational mission to unleash impossible demands that even when somehow, miraculously met, still warrant toxic bouts of dishonesty and general nonsense. At least this owner was ready to address a rather absurd review of their auto shop. 

Check out another ridiculous choosing beggar case with this entitled streamer who demanded music for exposure, and got nothing.

Text - Local Guide 14 reviews 2 photos ***** a year ago Be Aware!! I recently changed the starter here. They told me $780 first, as a student couldn't afford that. It's 1/5 value of my car. They brought it down to $700 with an $30 oil change value which I initially appreciated it as I borrowed some money from my friend and couldn't come up with more. I thought that was a good deal as they "helped" me, I made some phone calls after I agreed to change and guess what was quoted $580 at express oil

Text - We got your car in immediately ahead of all appointments. We diagnosed the starter issue and had a discussion with you. You wanted a new starter (not remanufactured) and it needed to be done as fast as possible because you had to get back on the road to Texas by 3:00 PM. I offered a remanufactured unit and a new unit, you still opted for the new unit at the higher price point. After we had started the disassembly. you came back to me and asked us to stop because you weren't able to get th

Text - Now, while the bill was $700.00 out the door, we replaced your starter with a new Denso (OEM) unit, replaced the intake manifold gasket and did an oil change. If we breakdown the cost, $700.00 less sales tax (S45.79), less intake manifold gasket ($54.99). less oil change ($24.95) and less disposal fees ($5.00), your NEW starter actually cost you $589.27. According to your barometer of cost (S580.00) we are actually less expensive. To your point about AutoZone being very chesp, the dlosest

Eye Confusing Moments of Double Takery


Our eyes try their best, but they don't always succeed. A small shift in light and shadow can result in impossibly levitating objects, dogs with human butts, gorillas with pants on, and any variation of double take inducing images. It doesn't take much warped perspective to get some accidental real life optical illusions going on.
