Operating Errors Achieved By People Who Shouldn't Be Driving Anything


Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't the best idea to let these people be solely responsible for a motorized object. You know? Maybe, just maybe, we should have some types for licensing systems in place to keep things like this from happening. 

Nothing like having an idiot behind the wheel of a 2-ton hunk of metal that is being propelled by thousands of tiny explosions and screaming along at 100 mph.

New Director Wants Meetings First Thing in the Morning, Doesn't Listen to Line Manager and Delays Production


When you're a new manager in a team, no matter what size, it's always best to spend a given length of time observing before making changes. That length of time can vary wildly depending on the complexity and scale of the operation but, at the very least, it's best to give it a few weeks.

It gives you time to learn from experienced employees (who definitely know more than you do) and can keep you from making too many significant mistakes. 

Kudos to this line manager for just going with it when outvoted and thereby proving her point and showing the new director that she knew better.

For more workplace compliance read about this Army Armorer who was forced to sign illegal orders by his new Captain.

Entitled Brother Thinks His Kid Is the Exception to a “Child-Free” Wedding Invite


There's nothing worse than someone who thinks that they are the exception to every rule. If anyone has siblings like this or families who enable this type of behaviour then you have my sympathies. This type of behaviour is only possible when the people around them allow it to persist. 

Paul sounds like he is a right piece of work and him and his wife, possibly the entire family, are entirely delusional. It is completely out of expectation to think that you would be the only exception for a child-free invitation. Time for a reality check. If there's one thing for certain it's that weddings bring out the family drama.

Simple Questions That Reveal A Lot About People


Asking questions is how we get to know each other, and some totally innocuous questions have a way of revealing more about people than you'd think. Sometimes they're good for revealing red flags during job interviews or getting to the bottom of an awkward and bad first date. Also, definitely make sure anyone in your social circle is on the right side of the shopping cart theory of morality.

Entitled Neighbor Refuses To Move Car, Righteous Towing Ensues


This isn't the first time we've encountered an entitled neighbor who refused to move their car out of a spot that it never should've been in. Honestly, we doubt it'll be the last time. You just never know if you're going to end up living next to a wildly unreasonable, and grossly entitled neighbor who refuses to play nice and get along. If this tale of petty revenge on a nasty neighbor got you going, check out another recent petty revenge story we ran about some nasty neighbors that vanquished a man's tomatoes, so he unleashed an ants army

Entitled People With Their Childish Demands


Nothing stirs the blood and busts out a wicked riff on the heartstrings quite like people who make insane demands of people while displaying absolutely no self reflection. Entitled people and their absurd audacity will grift strangers, talk mad trash and do it all as if they're still in the right. It's kind of incredible.

Guy Gets Savage Revenge on Cheating Ex-Girlfriend With Soul-Crushing Prank, Destroys Her New Relationship


This guy made his cheating ex-girlfriend and her new lover question their entire reality with the psychological warfare that he waged upon them. Imagine being so psyched out by these random noises that you're hearing that you start to wonder about your own sanity. I can only imagine it's like when your smoke detector gets a low battery and starts "chirping" in the middle of the night at maddening intervals that would be enough to make a captured spy give up everything they knew. 

This has to be one of the most intense revenge stories of the year and is an absolute goldie of a read.

People's Worst Nightmare Neighbor Conflict Stories


You just never know who you might end up living next to. Moving into a new place is a stressful enough process as it is, but when you factor in the distinct possibility that you could end up living next to a monster who literally makes a mission out of destroying your garden's tomatoes, or being as loud as possible despite your complaints....the stress sweats can start. This AskReddit thread has people sharing the very worst of their nightmare neighbor conflict stories. 

Tumblr Goes Mythological Scientist Mode On Dragons


Just in case you didn't know, this enlightening Tumblr thread is here to fill you in on why a flamethrower is by no means a precision weapon. Also, apparently dragons rock eyes on the sides of their heads because they place more value on their field of view than they do on their depth perception.
