Driver Stops Just Short Of Rampaging Tornado, Watches It Go By

Karen Customer Has Rage Fit Over 37 Cents At Pizza Shop
There are certain things in this life that are very well worth getting fired up over. Maybe someone has the careless audacity to cut you in line at a crowded bar. Maybe someone makes a nasty remark to an employee who was just trying to make it through their shift with no drama. But to go ahead and have a full on temper tantrum over a pizza shop's pricing that involves literally 37 cents...well that right there is very far outside the bounds of what's reasonable, Karen.
The Worst Things People Said On Dates
Dating can be an emotional rollercoaster. Especially nowadays with the wealth of dating apps available at your disposal, it's just hard to know whether or not you're going to end up seated across the table from someone who is absolutely nothing like the person they portrayed themselves as in their bio. Really the best course of action if one ever catches themselves in that kind of extreme scenario is to break out the best possible excuse to immediately bail from the rapidly devolving scene. Anyways, the cringe was laid on extra thick in these bizarre utterances from people that didn't exactly carry out their best dates.

Hippie Sister-In-Law Disapproves of Disposable Diapers, Throws Them All Away
We've all had some bad houseguests and minor problems with family, but to have someone insist that you're parenting incorrectly, throw away all your expensive baby stuff, then complain that they can't afford to replace it? That's some wild entitlement right there. For another fun one, here's a woman who stole what she thought was a pregnancy test, announced her pregnancy, and was wrong.
Absurd Snail Question Prompts Fabulously Detailed Answer
This should be a question they use for job interviews. No more of that "where do you see yourself in 5 years" garbage. It should be "how far from the snail do you see yourself in a millennia?" Of course, the real answer might be another question along the lines of "what's a snail gonna do with a million dollars?" If only we could apply this much energy and creativity to problems in our own lives. For some more impressive moments of creativity, here are stupid items Dungeons and Dragons players exploited to their limits as well as a wholesome story about a grandma who summons a demon.
Incompetent Scammers Who Were Their Own Worst Enemies

Client Hires Lousy Electrical Contractor, Contractor Ignores Plans, Ends Up With More Work
Crooked contractors can be a real handful. There are plenty of people out there in this world that are proactively looking to cut corners just to make the daily grind a bit easier.

Company Stops Reimbursing For Cellphones, Coworker Makes Sure They Regret It
There can be something strangely lovable about having a coworker on hand who decides to meet an unfavorable decision by their company, with a swift and brilliant act of malicious compliance. Bob sounds like he's just a bit of a mad lad. Clearly the guy wasn't just going to step aside without putting up a bit of a fight when it came to his cellphone situation being jeopardized. For another recent malicious compliance story check out this manager who forced their employee to get a sick note (even though it was illegal), and then how the doctor maliciously complied.
Puns That Are About As Funny As Puns Get
To be honest we're not huge fans of puns. Or maybe, more accurately, most puns. Most puns are the worst. Most puns are just the garbage juice at the bottom of the dumpster of actual comedy. But some puns. Oh baby. Some puns and dad jokes are so bone-shakingly funny they just want to make you shriek with laughter until you're as hoarse as Seabiscuit. See, that was a bad pun.
Creepy Signs That Are There For A Good Reason
It's important to remember that every creepy signis there because something happened that made it necessary.

So hats off to all the bad days that led to these spooky signs.

Like, you don't want to go out of your way to ask someone else around you how to pronounce a word the right way, for fear of being made fun of over it. Also though, hey, maybe this list will serve to clear up any blind spots you might've had lying around about the proper pronunciation of various words.
