Drama Breaks Out Between Couple Over Stimulus Check


Those stimmy checks can be a tricky business. A drama broke out between this couple over the newly unemployed boyfriend wanting to go on a near-sighted spending spree with his newfound influx of funds, instead of helping out his partner who is set to be their sole source of income for awhile. The folks in the comments section are in agreement that his approach is just a little bit out of line. 

Tumblr Thread: The Yarn Community Has Serious Drama


One wouldn't think that the yarn and knitting community would go to bat for their extremely strong opinions on the kind of material that's most likely to set a baby on fire, or that there would be people faking their deaths, but you would be wrong. Tumblr gets into the politics and colorful internal drama of the yarn people. It's reminiscent of this tumblr foray into the drama of the art world.

Stealing Roommate Gets Clothes Dyed for Free


The only good thing about having a roommate that steals your stuff is that if you tamper with your own stuff, they're in no position to complain about your stuff that they deny taking. This is a pretty common tactic. A similar and more explosive thing happened when this food thief's roommate switched to regular milk.

Man Responds To His "Wanted" Ad On Facebook


We love to see this gem making the rounds again. We look back to a time, a strange and surprising time when what appears to be a runaway criminal named Anthony Ackers, up and decides to respond to his own "wanted" ad out in Richland, WA. What ensues is nothing short of a swift emotional rollercoaster, filled to the brim with banter and the inevitable moment when Ackers serves up his own demise. 

Lowballing Choosy Beggar Tries To Haggle, Fails Miserably


As long as we've had well intentioned people trying to sell stuff online, we've also had the choosy beggars dashing right out of the woodwork to stink up the whole online marketplace with their series of irrational demands. This dude was tripping from the very beginning. And then when they're given a righteous reality check, they try to play it off like they're just "trying to do business." Yeah, okay then. Check out more entitled people with their childish demands over here

Lazy Manager Karen Lets Everything Fall To Pieces


In this world, stories of incompetent managers and entitled Karens aren't rare. There are dumb bosses like this manager who suspended an employee and then expected them at their next shift.

At least this one had a happy ending.

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.

Unsafe Toys People Remember From The Olden Days


Anyone with a few decades on them can remember a time when toys were heavy, sharp, fast, toxic and scalding.

People remember the wildly dangerous activities they participated in as children.

Those young business owners often think that they know everything. Well, this guy certainly humbled a couple naive business owners in the long run.

There certainly was a period of time when so many of those lockers were way too easy for people to break into.

Nothing like a completely cringeworthy meltdown with a wedding objection to keep your day rolling along. If you thought you'd been to an awkward wedding reception, just imagine the palpable awkwardness that was present in the air for this unfortunate debacle. 

Stupid Things Restaurants Used Instead of Dishes


One of the things we don't miss about restaurants is the need to make increasingly inconvenient, and sometimes potentially dangerous presentation.

Spelling Fails That Took Their Liberties With Words


We're not exactly as literate a society as we'd like to be, so we end up birthing a whole lot of regrettable and dumb spelling fails. On one hand, spelling is hard. On the other hand, people are out here misspelling words that have almost no right to be as misspelled as they are. People get creative with their spelling fails.

Impressive Creations of Questionable Taste


People are an incredibly creative bunch. Sometimes are creativity surpasses artwork and even leads to cursed food created in the underworld's kitchen. Sometimes people make things just because they can be done, and not necessarily because they will be popular or even nice looking. We're the kings of making things well but with questionable taste. There's no denying that these took a lot of talent to create, but the big question is "why?"

Greedy Contractor Doubles Price On Original Order, Petty Revenge Ensues


Man, you've got to love that energy. Sometimes, people let the greediness consume them.

Startling and Ridiculous Knockoffs, Bootlegs and Off Brands


In an age where brand recognition means everything, who wouldn't try to associate their products and services with more well-known brands?

The resulting uncredible off brand and bootleg products are a bit much.
