Today we're talking the design fails of the human body. The beautiful thing about this is that it's something that we can all commiserate on. We're all trapped inside (approximately) the same fleshy shells that have some pretty glaringly obvious flaws.
For some of these things it's as if, and literally is because, evolution was just like "Psssh, yeah that's good enough.... Let's move on to something else."
Enjoy this collection of mistakes and mishaps from when things went wrong during wedding celebrations. There is something about weddings that lends them to these types of goofs. We just put so much pressure on this one day that, when something goes wrong, it is going to be extremely notable.

If this were a movie, we'd expect everyone to get shot out of the other end of the tunnel like a bullet. Like if someone said "hey do you wanna stand in this tunnel while we explode the other end" we'd find ourselves hard-pressed to say yes. But clearly we've been missing out.
It started when ChrisOfTheDead saw a tweet that outlined a simple but intuitive concept: What if Halo's Master Chief loaded a needler with hot dogs and shot them at a grill? Naturally, such a brilliant idea needed to be given the attention it deserved, and thusly, the Dogler was born.
"Let me speak to your owner."
"..... I AM the owner..."
There's nothing worse than an entitled toolbag who thinks they can just rock up at whatever time they please and receive immediate assistance from a business that operates on scheduled servicing.
You can immediately tell who these people are going to be and they absolutely love to kick off at you once you ask them to schedule in ahead of time.
It's every owner/manager's fantasy to get a chance at this interaction. Gotta love it when those delivering a service get a chance to one-up the toolbags who try to take advantage of their business. Like this female mechanic who was facing a sexist client.
Are we still doing 'Tiger King'?
The zeitgeist that was 'Tiger King' during the initial lockdowns last year captured the minds of the world and gripped us with its sheer absurdity. The mysteries associated with the larger-than-life characters of the show launched wild conspiracy theories, most of them centering around just what happened to Carole Baskin's husband, Don.
We're still not really sure what to think but Carole herself has emerged on the internet in a Reddit 'AMA' to give her side of the story. If Occam's Razor holds true, her take is probably the reality of what happened. We sure do love the spin that redditors have put on it and agree with them that her explanation is missing some vital context.
All I'm saying is "Don the Drug Smuggler" is a theory I'm going to hold as true in my head cannon.
Just about anyone who's had a sketchy job has had a sketchy manager to accompany it. Instead of doing their own unsafe, illegal and immoral dirty work, a sketchy boss will have the brilliant idea to make you do it. Whether that be cooking some books, using company resources to help them cheat on their partner, or just stealing a whole bunch of product, many of us have been asked to some some unethical garbage for a boss at some point. For some fun justice, here's the employee who got fired and refused to finish a job by citing their NDA.
If there's one major takeaway from this tech support tale it's that just because you can build a PC doesn't necessarily mean that you know how the computer works. One can only begin to imagine the amount of hot flashes of embarrassment that this dude must've been bogged down by after realizing that he'd literally engineered the downfall of his cheap brand name computer. Like, he literally just created destruction where there otherwise would've been none to have been had. Oh well. You live and you learn. For another ridiculous tech support tale, check out this CEO who thought his computer had been hacked, and then proceeded to learn how a computer works.
Things need to get done, but sometimes we take shortcuts that result in safety failures of OSHA-defying boldness. Walk around any job site for any length of time and there's bound to be cartoonish moments of dudes climbing into running woodchippers, hanging off dangerous ledges with no safety gear, and strapping together ladders into a horrible yet effective "superladder." Sadly, time is money, and that time gets turned into unsafe maneuvers that would make OSHA cringe. It just sucks to have to be the schlub risking their knees, back and fingers for 12 dollars an hour.
What's worse than being ordered around by an entitled customer? Being told by your old manager that you need to help an entitled customer when you don't even work there anymore. This person played it off cooler than they had to. As a fellow customer, they were well within their own rights to have told this fellow customer that the milk aisle is up her own ass. Here's a time a Karen tried to bully a fellow customer and got mocked.
Why drink coffee when we can all get our blood pumping just taking in the fantastical demands of entitled people? There are landlords who forbid cooking, customers who bring their own teabags, and entitled moms who tried to swindle their babysitters. The laughable boldness of entitled people is an amazing thing to behold.
It's not fun to be singled out, but sometimes the universe or our own actions make it something that's impossible to avoid. Sometimes a coworker just gets on everyone's nerves and something public must be done. Other times life just decides that your deck should be destroyed by an endangered species. There are absurd times people and things can't avoid being singled out.
No one can force you to buy a car, but being a burden on your loved ones isn't something you should do if you can avoid it with a little effort. It's not too hard to read between the lines and see that even if this guy's gf essentially "bought herself a gift," it's definitely something that's important to her. For some more domestic bliss, here's the guy who refused to do dishes so his wife stopped doing chores to make a point.
Human beings are some of the only things on the planet that have so extensively built their own environment to live in. And you'd think that living in houses would give us some innate ability to do plumbing, but that would be wildly wrong. Our world is filled with construction fails of all kinds; upside down stairs, carpeted bathrooms, and pipes that go nowhere, to name a few. There are rules, but it's up to the builder to look at them.
Anyone in search of drama should highly consider any case of bad faith legal shenanigans. We don't know enough about law to know if people are allowed to do crap like this, but lawyers are experts in absolutely hammering at the rules to suit their needs, so anything could happen. Here are some things people later discovered were illegal.
