What's with people messing with other people's lawns? Also, it seems like there's a pattern with all of these "crazy neighbor." Specifically, a whole lot of them seem to be right out of the HOA. There's something about the dang HOA that just brings out the very worst in people. Boundary issues run amok. For some more juicy neighbor drama check out this quick story about a woman who reported her nightmare neighbors, and the righteous fine that ensued.
It's a mystery how so many angry and unreasonable people hold positions of power, but nevertheless we get moments like this monstrous manager who snapped on an employee. Hierarchies break down when power is wielded unjustly, and it's interesting to learn about an entire staff just saying "screw this, I'm out." If only manager/employee relationships could be more cartoonish, like this fed up manager's many notes for their troublemaking employee.
Copyright is a hell of a beast, so these toy manufacturers threw some toys together with dollop of word salad to try to squeeze in as much brand recognition as possible without having to deal with any of that pesky legal infringement for their amazing and ridiculous bootlegs. Like Beasts by Mr. Dre, Mike shoes or Dulcho and Garbanzo bags, the world of knockoff and of brands is rich and varied.
There are always things we could improve with our demeanor or social skills. So if you want people to trust you (for non-nefarious purposes) or just get a leg up when playing tennis, there are some things we can all do to get that coveted psychological edge. A pretty simple psychological hack like knowing when to speak or how to make the right kind of eye contact can be a total game-changer.
Everyone worries so much about "empirical evidence" and "factual accuracy" as if some degree of clever, technical accuracy isn't at least 40% as good. Yeah, being technically not wrong has some degree of inherent reliance on puns, but it's like no one says: "It's better to be kind of correct than actually right most of the time."
Ah yes, the wonderful wandering minds of the Tumblr community pull through yet again with a ridiculous little thread about the wild superstitions that humans can end up being possessed by. We can all fall prey to carrying assumptions about people just because of the industry that they work in. Like, some folks might assume that scientists aren't as silly as the rest of us. Well, that couldn't be further from the truth. Check out some more Tumblr gems and sweet tweets to battle boredom over here.
As citizens of the world, we may not all speak the same language or have exactly the same values. But one thing we can all agree on is that we all resent the state of our infrastructure. After NoContextBrits insinuated that they had singularly bad roads, everyone chimed in in a display of funny yet extremely damning examples of the world's collective road quality. Potholes, sinkholes, and tomato-infested roads abound. For some driving themed insanity, here are some incompetent drivers who should be banned from the road.
There's irresponsible... and then there's this mother. Just from this little insightful window into her life it is probably safe to say that she shouldn't be entrusted with children. This baby sitter definitely did the right thing in contacting the police and leaving the children in their care. There is a certain point where the obligations she agreed to have been exceeded and it sounds like this mother was consistently willing to push past them.
It sounds like it was only a matter of time before this CIO Karen ended up hitting her own self-destruct button. The thing about some of these particularly ignorant people is that when they're called out for this misguided antics, they just assume the belligerent, defensive stance and only ever end up making things far worse for themselves. Let's just send all the good vibes to Paul. Poor guy really went through it. For some more sloppy nonsense from the world of tech support check out this tale about the time that a department manager assumed that their monitors didn't need computers to work.
We've all experienced those moments amidst a typical day at work when it seems like nothing outside the ordinary is going to occur, and then suddenly, the floodgates open to let in complete chaos. Or, maybe it's not chaos as much as it is an unforgettable moment involving an impossibly clueless customer. Life loves to keep us on our toes. If anything, it can feel like the bigger surprises present themselves right when you're otherwise sinking into a comfortable routine.
This is just the kind of dump that'll probably really hit home for some folks out there. You might be a millennial who is still busy eating some of these foods that the kids of the younger generations don't even know about. The Hi-C Ecto Cooler looks just a little bit sketchy.
Sometimes, you show up for a new gig, and your gut instinct starts bellowing and roaring all kinds of warning signs. It's as if your literal bones are shaking in discomfort over the environment you've walked into. Maybe you unfortunately missed the red flags that only later on when it was already too late, seemed obnoxiously bright. Fact of the matter is, some folks just don't waste any time with dipping out from a terribly toxic, overall nasty job. Maybe these people's reasons behind why they quit their jobs on the first day will make you feel better about any kinds of career blunders or misjudgments that you've made.
Remind me to organize the immediate destruction of my electronics following an untimely demise.
Not that there is anything worth mentioning on my devices... but the sheer volume of saved TikTok videos clogging up my iPhone would bring my unmentionable shame.
This very scenario is very easily in each of our own, or our children's own, futures and the horror of that is something that even the likes of Black Mirror couldn't dream up.
You may laugh. You may cry. But the image will be burned into your brain all the same.
Human ingenuity is an amazing thing, especially when you're looking for DIY solutions on a budget. That said, welding together your very own chop saw is probably a bad idea if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Also, there are probably safer ways to haul a boat than tying it to your car. That's not to say these methods don't work. It's just often a better idea to choose the DIY solution that leaves you with fewer tickets and more remaining fingers.
So well, apparently, emojis can be a blind person's waking nightmare due to the "read text" function. Apparently, the phone describes each emoji in detail. This can make for quite the time-consuming process. Hopefully folks read this, and spare future conversations from the pains of emojis being vividly described. Check out some more terrific Tumblr gems to keep things tumblin, over here.
