Man, what a prime example of how it can really just benefit a company to do the right thing when they have the chance. For whatever reason this company felt compelled to not fork over the $600 that they should've for a broken TV. Well, that BS decision went on to cost them dearly.
Yep, a real life pirate. Dude definitely committed.
Just because you've made a career for yourself as an announcer in the Nascar world doesn't mean that you're not prone to fails like the rest of us. Marty Reid is the announcer in this scenario, and we're honoring his own hilarious little slip up with a video that shows him forgetting Andy Petree's name.
This viral video from TikTok user @carriejernigan1 has been making the rounds across the vast and disorienting online expanse that is the world of TikTok. It's no surprise. There's something innately captivating about ghost towns. Plus, plenty of people love to scare themselves a little bit. Not to say that this is scary, but it's definitely unsettling.
If there's one inevitable and unsettling takeaway that you'll likely have from this Tumblr post about various kinds of trees, it's that trees are very weird and we should all be slightly frightened by them. This post reminds us of the other Tumblr thread about the monster plant that is the Kudzu. Maybe one day, humans will peace out from earth, take our troubles elsewhere, and leave the arboreal overlords to roam and rule over the earth.
Anyone who has ever moved into a new place knows that the experience can be marked by a bit of stress over what your new neighbors are going to be like. It can be a bit of a gamble. Sometimes, you think you're moving into a place next to a perfectly reasonable human being, and then come to find out that they're nothing short of a waking nightmare. The folks that are featured in this collection of ridiculous posts on the infamous Nextdoorneighbor app seem like they could be quite the handful.
Sometimes you're having a conversation with a human being that you otherwise thought was perfectly rational, and not prone to fits of blind and entirely irrational rage, and then they pull a fast one on you. This particular customer opted for being a waking nightmare. Fortunately, the tech support employee who fielded the situation kept their cool, and it all worked out in the end.
There's just no way of knowing if you'll snap a perfectly timed photo, and that's the beauty of it. That rare moment of a terrified child falling off a bike, an overconfident basset hound slipping on some ice, or smiling guy on a pier about to get smacked with a seagull are all wonderful moments of rare chance. Perfectly timed and well angled photos remind us of the stupid luck that goes into rare moments.
This tale of pro revenge involving an inconsiderate county mower and a dad who wasn't going to put up with anyone's nonsense reminds us of another revenge involving a steel-enforced mailbox and a snowplow. The grin on dad's face must've spanned from cheek to cheek. Sounds like the county mower was ultimately unsuccessful with trying to get dad to cough up cash for those broken blades too. Talk about the icing on the cake.
Thank you to the ever mystifying realm that is the Tumblr world. Did you wake up today thinking that you'd discover sea urchins have in fact been known to rock mini hats? No, no probably not. But here we are. That last bit at the end of the thread about how different sea urchins would try on the hats is a wonderfully wholesome little twist as well.
Let this grueling tale of an entitled customer who makes a person working a customer service job's life a nightmare be a lesson to the rest of the world. Just don't be rude to people. Dig deep if you must, but dig deep for that kindness, because you never really know who you're talking down to. You very well might be talking down to someone who is connected to you professionally, and could swiftly end your career as you know it. Oh boy, to have seen the look of humbled horror on Karen's face when she connected the dots.
While it is a teacher's responsibility to know things, they're still human and are capable of getting those things wrong. It's when a teacher says something wrong and doesn't own up to it when things get weird. What's the value in lying to kids just so that you can maintain a false sense of authority? Sometimes teachers don't give their students enough credit, like this tumblr thread about a teacher underestimating their students for a social experiment. With the veritable weirdness some educators display, luckily there are also teachers who pulled total bro moves.
The absurd audacity of entitled people knows no limits. There's a kind of personality out there who's able to jump through as many logical hoops as it takes to make any self-serving request seem reasonable. There are bosses who will expect workers to pay for their own materials, landlords who see no problem asking people to pay 6 months up front, and complete strangers who will get angry at you for not sharing your Netflix password. It's amazing, watching how laughably bold entitled people will get.
Some neighbors are far worse than others. Some neighbors actually go out of their way to create a terribly stressful, tense, downright unpleasant environment for everyone else around them. And then it's as if any complaints are just more fuel for their fire. The neighbors in this tale of malicious compliance sound like they're in a league of their own. There was just never going to be a winning scenario with them.
Nothing stirs up emotions quite like a solid prank. Maybe not "filling someone's car with bees" or "seducing your boss's wife" level pranking, but something like giving someone a jelly donut filled with mustard. People pull off some sinister pranks, and they're great to hear about, even if just to get ideas. We can't guarantee that anyone will trust you after doing crap like this, but it is kind of awesome.
There are way too many sleazy landlords trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting tenants out there. It seems like we're regularly coming across revenge stories involving one tenant taking their righteous revenge on a landlord who misplaced their moral compass. Enough is enough. Maybe if more people approach their sketchy landlords like the dude in this post, other landlords would be inspired to change their ways. Check out another landlord revenge story with this property manager who wouldn't return a security deposit, and then the pro revenge that ensued.
This isn't the first time that we've read a story about an egotistical manager coming into a scene, trying to make improvements around the company, and then ending up having the whole thing backfire terribly. The moral of the story here is to never mess with Sandra. Also, apparently sometimes group projects actually end up working out.
The different realms in the overall universe of social media can get to be quite ridiculous. You have this massive online gathering of folks, and with that can come the unfortunate, awkward results of various individuals mindlessly throwing out posts that could've used just a little bit more thought, before being shared with the rest of the world. Some posts are certainly more awkward than others.
It's probably not a good idea to smash a superheated metal ball with a hammer without a plan. Okay, we're gonna go out on a limb here and say it's definitely a bad idea to smash a superheated metal ball with a hammer unless you're a blacksmith who know why he's smashing that ball in the first place. And it's probably an even worse idea to do it in a t shirt. That said, the result is some real chaos god/level 60 battlemage material.
