McDonald's Worker Pours Sweet And Sour Sauce In Caramel Frappé
Of all the mad and incomprehensibly wild things that a human being can do in this life, pouring sweet and sour sauce in a caramel frappé is just plain old wrong, man. Like, come on. It's no wonder that this TikTok vid went viral. Check out some more cursed food straight from the jowls of heck over here.
Stupid Things People Did On Autopilot
The human brain is an amazing computing machine, just as capable of feeling love as it is able to do advanced calculus. It will also make you throw a cup of coffee onto your bed thinking it's your phone. So let's just say that it's a mixed bag. There are some seriously dumb things people have done on auto-pilot.

Vegetarian Gets Mad That Roommate Cooks Meat In Dorm Room, Roommate Feels Bad
It's not easy sharing a living space with another human being in close quarters. The reality is that most of us have preferences that can set us apart from everyone else. It sounds like this woman's roommate was being just a tad bit unreasonable when it came to understanding the fact that people have different tastes. Really, what needs to happen is a complete halt on the guilt tripping. Life's far too short to acquiesce to someone else's narcissistic outlook on what you should be doing to fully optimize their relationship with life.
Entitled People Who Had The Sheer Audacity
We all have enough problems as is. We don't need other people making problems for us by calling us names for not wanting to trade a guitar for a sandwich.

Most people won't leave a horrible review of a restaurant because they had to sit in the sun. Most people.
Funny Tweets To Bring The Thunder To A Cloudy Day
Twitter is like a big bowl of fruit. Actually it's nothing like that. It's more like a big bowl of people's complaints. And among those complaints are beautifully elegant observations, thoughts, jokes and more than a few Guy Fieri references. While there are pitfalls having everyone saying everything all day, some of that everything is pretty great. Here are some funny tweets to build character and cultivate strength.
Funny Signs That Took Humor Into The Second Dimension
How does it feel to be less funny than a piece of wood? That's how we feel all the time, but especially in the context of funny signs. People have an inherent need to be seen and heard, and sometimes the best way to do that is the most old school way there is, by smearing some symbols up on a thing. And amazingly, that method still works. So here are some funny signs for those who enjoy jokes on a literal post.
NYC Bans Dogs In Subways, People Step Up With Ingenious Innovations
When you tell people that they can't bring their beloved animals on board the ever chaotic subway, you better believe that they're going to step up and deliver with ingenious innovations that allow them to bring those very dogs on the subway.

Dad Jokes That Quite Literally Outdad-ed Themselves

Absurd, Cursed, And Uncomfortable Architecture
Every now and again, you might catch yourself driving or walking around a new neighborhood, and realize that you've stumbled upon an unforgettably awful display of architecture.

Real Estate Agent Tries To Raise Application Fee After Couple Pays Application Fee, Totally Backfires
The world's not going to run out of shady landlords and real estate agents that try to pull fast ones on tenants that they assume won't know any better. Well, this real estate agent certainly got their rightful comeuppance in the form of being the receiver of a successful pro revenge. The only way that this couple could've made their pro revenge any more devastating would've been to have had their friends show up, and pretend to be interested tenants. Keep the revenge drama going with this story about some frat bros that parked in a neighbor's driveway, and ended up paying much more.
25 Outrageous Autocorrect Fails to make you LOL | Cheezburger
Predictive text is just a phone's way of trying to help, but sometimes we don't need that help. Like, most of the time. And a lot of those times result in autocorrect fails. It's probably better to text someone the phrase "orn my way horm" than have it get turned into "ornery monkey horns" because the first one can actually get parsed out into meaningful speech. It's good to think of these errors in particular as "AutoCorrect's puberty" when the function was far from perfect and made tons of mistakes, many of them awkwardly sex-related.
And sure, phones have come a long way. But in that time, we haven't changed that much. Our sausage fingers are still smothering the buttons and our phones are just doing their best to turn our impotent finger poking into "you up" texts and the like, so maybe we shouldn't be blaming our phones so much as our inability to use them properly. So when our phones come up with nonsense after we put a bunch of nonsense into them, we're just dealing with the consequences.
Why don't we just disable autocorrect? That's a terrific question. Another great question to add to that is "do you think people like us, who are so cognitively in the dark that they just typed 'where pizza go' into their phone also have the technical expertise to futz with the settings? Like everything else, it's probably easier than it seems, but we are far too stubborn to search for reasonable answers. The buck stops at setting the brightness, then anything more complex than that is basically magic.
Dad's Childless Brother Calls Himself "Dog Dad", Dad Gets Upset
This dad stepped way out of line when he took it upon himself to pass judgment on his brother because his brother called himself a "dog dad."

Food Memes to Feed Our Hungry Souls
Everyone's gotta eat. It's one of those rare common denominators that literally everyone has to engage with every day. We might call ourselves "foodies" but how can we do that when we're spreading chocolate frosting onto a pop tart to make an open-faced pop tart sandwich? We have a hunger in our hearts and souls. Not just for acceptance and meaning in our lives, but also pizza rolls. And guess what, "meaning in our lives" isn't something we can keep in the freezer and have on hand at all times. All we can do is go on our food journey in life and pray that we don't come across any cursed food abominations.
Accountant Assembles The Avengers Of Trivia Knowledge, Righteous Victory Ensues

That's perfectly alright. It's totally fine to toss the ego aside, embrace sweet humility, and try out something new. That could be the advisable move for this employee. The fact that they somehow got confused over a computer not making sound, after being told that it didn't have speakers, kind of escapes explanation. Check out another tech support tale with this story about a coworker who demanded a mathematically impossible computer, and got proven incompetent.
Tumblr Thread On Importance Of Serving Customers What They Order
Customer service gigs aren't easy. Far too often an unfortunate part about the job is that you can end up having to field all kinds of wildly entitled, genuinely nightmarish customers that seem unconsciously committed toward making your life miserable. Amidst all that, some people can let themselves go, and end up overlooking the importance of serving customers exactly what they order. It might seem extra sometimes. But the reality is that some people were born with those life-threatening health issues that can't be overlooked. If you want to keep Tumblin onwards, check out these funny Tumblr gems to help stifle the brooding darkness.
Employee Gets Fired For Manager's Malfeasance, Uses Manager's Vices Against Him

Naturally, his girlfriend wasn't stoked about the development. It sounds like he's pretty clueless to the whole thing. You can imagine who the moral judges in Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with.

Server Snaps On Customers That Fail To Tip Properly For Massive Bill
Some people are so blinded by the thick clouds of entitled ignorance that seem to follow them around like their literal shadows, that they pretty much ask the world for reality checks. So, when this table of entitled people that couldn't afford to eat out insisted on ordering tons of food and drinks, and then leaving a garbage tip, they pretty much got their rightful comeuppance. Anyone who has ever worked a customer service gig knows that the job regularly challenges you with extremely difficult people that seem to leave their social decency at the front door of the establishments.

Funny Signs For Those Who Appreciate Jokes On A Literal Post
There's a special place in our hearts for funny signs. Maybe it's the fact that it's commendable that someone felt like their joke should be a permanent fixture.

Inventive Failures Of The English Language
As monolingual people ourselves, we fully acknowledge that we would be even worse at translation than a lot of these attempts.

Here are some more creative misuses of the English language as well as some examples of English being difficult.

Life is full of opportunities, and some of those opportunities, like hiking in the jungle or frying bacon naked are things that are best only indulged in once, or not at all.
