It's funny how that works out. Sometimes the people who truly aren't the tech savvy ones assume that they know everything about how the technology is supposed to work.

A daily dose of the most hilarious gag-inducing Internet memes, gifs, images, funny insults, and fails from around the web!

Company Won't Accept Mortgage Payments, Tells Customer They've Defaulted
There's a type of business that makes itself deliberately hard to navigate just so they can charge weird fees.

For another tale of financial absurdity, here's a guy who got hounded for a trivial debt and ended up mailing them a dime.

Entitled Neighbor Expects Free High Speed Internet, Gets Rejected

Outdated Advice That Just Doesn't Make Sense Anymore
It's not like anyone wants to give you bad advice. Well, maybe these hilariously bad and dumb life pro tips might be exactly that.

"Not My Job" Moments Of Effortless Unprofessionalism
Work is a necessary evil. Doing stuff basically sucks, but it's better than being hungry, wet and cold all the time, so the choice is pretty obvious. Naturally, most of us try to get through the day employing as little effort as possible, and sadly for some of us it really shows. "Not my job" moments of failure fill up our streets and living spaces, providing at least some ironic consolation that everyone, not just you, is doing the bare minimum.
