It's easy to forget about just how much craziness is occurring out in that big ole ocean. The idea of being far out at sea in the middle of night, and encountering some kind of sound that escapes all explanation is just a little bit unsettling. If anything these accounts from various sailors might inspire you to fully commit to never taking up with a sailing gig.
No one likes having to respond to emails. The dread of knowing that there's just another task waiting for you in a special box is like looking at a landmine that you know you have to step on. It's like a Christmas tree bursting with presents, but every present is a chore. Is it clear yet that emails are not fun? Hopefully some work memes will make professional life a little more tolerable.
It sort of levels the playing field when you see a super-billionaire and his girlfriend try to get the attention of an A list celebrity just to get the cold shoulder. It must have been an awkward space ship ride home.
One of the things that we don't like about machines is their general lack of ability to make good fart sounds. But it looks like the wetness of the dough combined with the pressure at play made for the perfect environment to create an exceptionally well timed fart. Like a bass drop.
We don't really think about toilet placement until it becomes a problem, especially in the event of an emergency. One would think that the universal standard for toilets would be "on the floor and not covered in lace" but there are exceptions to the rule. And those exceptions are surprisingly mentally hard to deal with. For more stuff like this, here are some troubled, flawed rooms with bad vibes.
Relationships are defined by shared responsibility, and yeah, that means doing the dishes. At this point in history, being a partner who refuses to do chores is rightfully seen as childish, and the prospect of doing them badly out of incompetent spite is a great way to not solve the problem. It's a lot like this husband who refused to do chores and his wife who stopped doing them to make a point. But in this case, it got even more wonderfully petty.
It could be a complex history of narcissism or just poor reading comprehension, but man does it hurt to watch a joke land like a Fabergé egg. Here are some people who could have taken the extra second to actually think about what they read before blorting their word diarrhea all over their keyboards. But no, they took the low road and ended up amongst the many oblivious people who completely missed the joke.
This one honestly makes us a little nostalgic for our times working crazy jobs with people who didn't give a heck. There's a special place in our hearts for people who don't move like silent specters through the cogs of society, but make themselves seen and heard when a customer is being a real stick in the mud, like this boss who used an eye gag to get rid of some problem customers.
Relationships are hard. It feels socially risky to share your feelings with people, and while most of the time folks are willing to respect the effort, there are some rough moments to be had. Thing is, getting rudely rejected is a great way to find out that that person wasn't right for you anyway. So while it's painful, there's at least some way to spin the situation into "progress." Here are some extremely petty reasons people were rejected.
If only we could all be so inspired to measure once and not even cut, to never read the directions, and treat orders like the suggestions they really are. On that day, we could all truly be free. Free to live in a place where nothing really works as intended. But at least we wouldn't have to try very hard. And that world of "not my job" would be a beautiful one. Yes, the stop signs would face the wrong way and the toilet would drain directly into the downstairs bathtub, but it would be a "not my job" paradise.
Every once in a while, reality has it's absurd sitcom-style moments. In this case, a guy let what he assumed was a customer's nice dog into her house, and the dog just kind of hung out in there before anyone started asking questions. It just goes to show if you act like you belong, and you're a dog, you can get just about anywhere. For a more dramatic tale of dog ownership, here's the time a stranger tried to liberate a guy's muzzled dog.
What would life be without a neighbor threatening to trap your cat because it sits on her car at night? Why should we all be free to go about our days without hearing from the entitled people and total Karens who are ready to call the cops because they didn't get a free cookie with their purchase? Variety is the spice of life, but entitled people are the metal shavings one finds in their BLT.
It's just nice to see someone be truly taken for the ignorant cabbage that they truly are. When this employee was getting the business from an intolerable Karen, they decided to come up with a harmless and stupid detail to get under her thin skin. Tim Horton's New "Left Handed Bag." For another time a Karen flew too close to the sun, here's the time a military wife Karen demanded salutes and got mocked.
Hey, not all of us have the patience to read books or take salsa lessons, so it comes to this. There's nothing quite like being at a party going "that reminds me of a funny tweet I saw" and then totally butchering the idea so it's not funny anymore. You've accidentally missed the point and made it too dirty. Then the one person you kind of know goes "mhm yeah totally." That's what we call a social win. Here's more funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later and some extra tweets to build character and cultivate strength.
Ever watch a movie and think "man, this bad guy is working way too hard for some teenager who just got superpowers to just show up and smack him around." In some cases, the "villain" wasn't even really doing anything other then just being a whale. So here are some villains people felt that even if they weren't making a great point, could use a W. For some more pop culture aspects that people disagree with on a fundamental level, here are annoyingly unrealistic movie logic moments.
