Real Estate Agent Tries To Raise Application Fee After Couple Pays Application Fee, Totally Backfires


The world's not going to run out of shady landlords and real estate agents that try to pull fast ones on tenants that they assume won't know any better. Well, this real estate agent certainly got their rightful comeuppance in the form of being the receiver of a successful pro revenge.

25 Outrageous Autocorrect Fails to make you LOL | Cheezburger


Predictive text is just a phone's way of trying to help, but sometimes we don't need that help. Like, most of the time. And a lot of those times result in autocorrect fails. It's probably better to text someone the phrase "orn my way horm" than have it get turned into "ornery monkey horns" because the first one can actually get parsed out into meaningful speech. It's good to think of these errors in particular as "AutoCorrect's puberty" when the function was far from perfect and made tons of mistakes, many of them awkwardly sex-related.

And sure, phones have come a long way. But in that time, we haven't changed that much. Our sausage fingers are still smothering the buttons and our phones are just doing their best to turn our impotent finger poking into "you up" texts and the like, so maybe we shouldn't be blaming our phones so much as our inability to use them properly. So when our phones come up with nonsense after we put a bunch of nonsense into them, we're just dealing with the consequences.

Why don't we just disable autocorrect? That's a terrific question. Another great question to add to that is "do you think people like us, who are so cognitively in the dark that they just typed 'where pizza go' into their phone also have the technical expertise to futz with the settings? Like everything else, it's probably easier than it seems, but we are far too stubborn to search for reasonable answers. The buck stops at setting the brightness, then anything more complex than that is basically magic.

Food Memes to Feed Our Hungry Souls


Everyone's gotta eat. It's one of those rare common denominators that literally everyone has to engage with every day. We might call ourselves "foodies" but how can we do that when we're spreading chocolate frosting onto a pop tart to make an open-faced pop tart sandwich? We have a hunger in our hearts and souls. Not just for acceptance and meaning in our lives, but also pizza rolls. And guess what, "meaning in our lives" isn't something we can keep in the freezer and have on hand at all times. All we can do is go on our food journey in life and pray that we don't come across any cursed food abominations.
