Design Failures That Could Have Used Some Effort


We're not gonna complain about people accidentally screwing up their sign so that their dance recital becomes a "dunce rectal." In fact, we'd prefer that it happens more. That and improperly installed toilets. So go one and make sure that design failures fill up our stupid world. Really lean into it. Just don't try at all.

Dares That May Have Gone A Little Too Far


Most of us stopped playing truth or dare in middle school, and maybe that's for the best. We realize now that doing what people tell us to is probably not the best way to experience social validation. With wisdom, we now know that the best way to get social validation is to have a lot of money and insult people. For more shenanigans, here is bonkers junk that students did to make themselves legends.

Clever and Stupid Puns That Are Pretty Alright As Far As Puns Go


It's kind of weird how puns seem to inhabit both the highest and lowest echelons of humor. Some make us giddy with delight. Others make us want to lock ourselves in a closet and just scream. In a sense, they're sort of like alligators. They've been around forever, and regardless of your opinion, they're not making too many indications of going away any time soon. Here are some sign jokes.

People Share the Craziest Things Their Exes Did After Breakups


Consider yourself lucky if you don't have an ex who makes this list. There are clearly some real winners out there and it makes you wonder what was worth dating about them in the first place. 

Like how do you live with somebody for two years just to have them turn around and go completely psycho on you over the breakup. We've all done things in the heat of the moment that we weren't proud of but the premeditation and determination in some of these is off the wall.

20 Rare Insults That Roasted And Toasted People


We love rare insults. The internet's always had an obscene amount of banter and dramatic clashes in the comments sections. When people go the extra mile to unleash hordes of sharpened and imaginative insults on other folks that aren't always necessarily "mean-spirited", but more so just creative and witty, we love to see it. That YouTube comments section seems like it's always churning out the comedy gems. Keep the insults rolling with this list of the best insults that people heard without swearing.

Neighbor Brings Furious Wrath Upon Themselves By Repeatedly Parking In Woman's Driveway


Alright, buckle up for one and get your reading glasses on because it is a doozy of a tale and this gal knows how to tell a story at length. It is well worth a read though because this neighbor takes the entitlement knob and turns it UP. 

Imagine having the gall in the first place to ask your neighbor if you can park your vehicle in their (single) driveway -blocking accessibility to their garage and on their private property.

Then to be repeatedly told a very firm and clear "No" only to do it anyways? That is just a new level of brazen, pig-headed, entitled insanity. 

Not sure if this one is reaching new lows or heights, but it's certainly one of the two.


Company Doesn't Want To Pay Employee Their Worth, Costs Them Millions


It's no wonder this guy unleashed the brutal revenge that he did. Pretty much anyone that comes to learn that they're being knowingly taken advantage of by their company is going to be inspired to take their vengeance. In this case, it sounds like the company's decision to take the shady, cheap route on a top-performing employee couldn't have had any more painful blowback than it did. Seriously, a mere $20K to that employee could've resulted in a reality where they didn't end up losing a couple million dollars. To keep the revenge drama train rolling check out this recent revenge story about a rude lawyer who parked in a farmer's driveway, so the farmer plotted a stinky revenge.

Dad Gets Nuclear Revenge On Neighbors After They Ruin His Son’s Birthday Party


There's nothing worse than not getting along with your neighbors. Stuck side by side in what seems to be an eternal battle between two unmovable forces. It's the kind of thing that would you constantly on edge and there's nothing worse than being on edge in your own home.

These neighbors sound awful and intolerant from the way the story goes but part of me wouldn't be surprised if there was another side to the story. Gathering of a large number of people are noisy by nature, whether there's music or not, voices vying to be heard over one another can get quite loud and carry quite far. Especially when it gets late.

Regardless, pretty trash and insane move by the neighbor to pop the kid's ball. Maybe even more insane to extract revenge every day for the next two years.

Delightfully Dumb Spelling Failures That Mangled Words


Is it reassuring to see someone refer to the "pubic library" or "apologize for the incontinence?" Or does it just make us feel bad for the way things are going? Well, at least we can choose to laugh in the face of ignorance and facepalm moments. We see spelling failuresall over the place in our own lives. And man is weird realizing a 40-year-old coworker thinks it's pronounced "it's a doggy dog world."

New Office Neighbor Enacts Epic 'Office Door Policy' That We Need to Standardize


There's a long list out there somewhere of people who significantly contributed to the advancement of society... Like the guy who discovered fire and the bloke who first tried drinking out of a cow's udder. 

This coworker needs to be on that list. This 'Office Door Policy' is something that needs to be enacted in offices everywhere. There's nothing worse than getting distracted while you're crunching for a deadline because you spent the last week browsing reddit instead of doing your job. Even right down to the nitty gritty details, like his exceptions to the rule, are important. Who doesn't love dogs, coffee and not burning to death?

This guy is your regular sort of everyday genius. 

Bootleg Stuff That Slipped Through Somehow


We've all had the thought "all of these officially licensed toys and products are fine, but what I really want is an off-brand SpongeBob named "Spongey Roy" that transforms into a train." And with uncredible bootleg products, we can have just that and also forty different off brand knockoff variations of Adidas called "abibos" and "aidodos" and "asdasdasdasdasd." 

People Share Protagonists and 'Heroes" Who Are Actually Problematic


Ahh the protagonist. The all important one who is the center of their universe and can apparently do no wrong. Only when you peel a few layers back do you sometimes see them for the inaffable scoundrel that they really are. 


Sometimes it's looking at it from a different perspective. When a story is presented to us through the protagonists eyes we see the filtered view of their world, and everyone is their own hero, in both reality and fiction. Sometimes past events are just mentioned offhand. Innocuous details that actually hint and sometime more sinister when put into context. 


It's no secret that every protagonist isn't a hero and the hero isn't always a protagonist. But these characters all share a commonality in that they are presented by the context of their stories to be "good' but are actually hugely problematic. There's always going to be some debate too as to whether or not a character is actually supposed to BE a hero. So feel free to debate away. 

Man Bad-Mouths Girlfriend's Plant Collection, Reddit Reacts


A person's collection of plants is no joke. Plants can benefit one's mental health in beautiful ways. The mindfulness that plants encourage, and the ongoing act of having to care for something else outside yourself can work wonders when it comes to taking even brief moments to step outside the carousel of thoughts about your life situation, that you're otherwise dragged along by. So, when it came to this woman venting on Reddit about her boyfriend staging a whole temper tantrum over her collection of plants, you can imagine where that went. Let's just say that folks didn't take too kindly to this guy's decision to disrespect his girlfriend's plants. 

20 Amazing Movies That Had Terrible 'Dumpster-Fire' Sequels


There's nothing like a fresh idea from Hollywood. Unfortunately, it happens less and less and less as time goes on as studios invest in "safer" bets. In the form of sequels (or prequels) of established franchises, remakes, and 'trending' adaptations. While this gives studios a more reliable return on investment, it sure makes the list of upcoming movies incredibly dull for the rest of us. Remember when the trailer reel before your feature presentation felt like an onslaught of incredible new ideas? Maybe it's just the rose-tinted glasses that I'm looking through and I'm the one who has gotten stale and boring. But something has changed.

No, thank you Hollywood. We didn't need more epic big screen adaptations like we had in the early 2000's with massive undertakings like the Lord of the Rings, I'd rather sit through an abhorrent remake of Ghost Busters after a trailer for Mulan 5. 



For the record, since it's in the thumbnail... The only thing good about the first Pacific Rim was that it was a novel idea and had big heavy robots. The pacing was inconsistent, the writing was dull and the plot was uninspired.

But I digress. Here are some truly terrible sequels that came in the wake of well received blockbusters and cult classics.


Apartment Manager Makes Tenant's Life Miserable, Tenant Helps Them Lose Half Of Neighborhood's Income


There are an ungodly amount of apartment managers out there that try to take advantage of tenants. It's as if these apartment managers have deluded themselves to such an extent due to trying to satiate their mountainous levels of greed, that they truly never stop to think about the consequences for their actions. Thus, we're thrilled to see in this tale of pro revenge that yet another shady apartment manager got their rightful comeuppance by a tenant who was ready to fight back against all the BS. To keep the housing pro revenge drama rolling, check out this story about a greedy landlord who raised the rent so that the tenants wouldn't renew their lease, and then got what he deserved.
