Gaming Memes To Look At While Mindlessly Grinding XP

Who could have guessed that in a few short decades, video games would become a billion dollar industry, captivating the minds and afternoons of countless people, attracting innovators and artists of all types to tell stories in a way that had never been done before. We could have. We totally guessed it years ago. Playing Mario Kart on N64, our parents were like "good thing they'll grow out of this complete waste of time." Little did they know that we were all planning to do this for the rest of our lives.

It's not like people spent their time on terrifically worthwhile pursuits anyway. Oh, did your dad used to go fishing or whatever? Well there's tons of video games that do that. And in most of them, it's just a mini-game. Now, if you want, you can go fishing and steal a car in the same game. Video games are freakin' sweet.

Here are some more gaming memes for the highly leveled.

Idiot Boss Has Cement Truck Drivers Follow Terrible GPS, Loses Company Thousands

Across pretty much every industry, if the people who do a particular job tell you that something isn't going to work, it's most likely in your best interest to listen to them. This was the case with a new boss who insisted on using a terrifically inefficient GPS system, then actively punished employees who wouldn't use it. So what happens when management insists on work being inefficient? Well, things get more inefficient of course. It's one of those screw ups that almost solves itself.

Evidently this guy was even worse than they thought, having gotten fired later not just for incompetence, but corruption. How the hell do these kinds of people keep being put in charge of employees? All of the wrong people are lying to get jobs.

For another graceful episode of work correcting itself, here's the employee who pushed their stinky cart though their workplace until the elevator was fixed.

The 50 Pettiest Reasons People Can't Date Someone

These are the pettiest reasons that would cause someone to refuse to date a potential match, even if everything else about that person would otherwise be desirable. These ordinarily trifling traits, attributes, and mannerisms are an earth-shattering deal-breaker for these people. 

I'd have to say that I think that the person who said that they couldn't handle loud open-mouthed chewing is the wisest here. I don't even think that's petty, but maybe that's because I can relate to it so well. I would add nail-biting and any mannerisms that involve any variety of teeth or mouth noises to that category too. I can not be in the same room with any noises involving teeth, which makes me a brilliant guest at dinner parties. The sound of teeth being brushed makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and I'm convinced it is the most brain-crushing noise on the planet. My partner, bless her, somehow manages to be the loudest chewer in existence. She's a real-life version of that episode from How I Met Your Mother where, no matter what Lilly eats, it makes a deafening noise. Eerily, the two look quite similar too. Are all small women loud chewers?

Somehow, this petty deal-breaker of mine failed to do its job… and now I'm eternally listening to a garbage disposal every time I eat my dinner. 

I will say that it's worth it though.

Neighbor Lies About Mulberry Wine Success To Mess With Eavesdropping Neighbor, Cuts Her Own Tree Down

Having a bad neighbor is a nightmare. When dealing with a real piece of work in the wild, at least you can just walk away and never see them again. But if you share a property line with an inconsolable sack of garbage, it's a lot harder to ignore someone else's miserable life. In this case, this person's neighbor had a habit of eavesdropping on their conversations. So naturally, they started a recurring lie/joke about all the wine they were making from her overhanging mulberry tree.

Taking these words as complete fact, this neighbor became consumed by hatred over the purported "successful wine business" and decided to take things into her own hands. She really thought she was getting the upper hand when she cut her own tree down. But hey, let people live their truth. Even if it is terrifically stupid, and built on lies.

For some more neighbor trouble, here's the insolent neighbor who got their car towed after repeatedly blocking a driveway.
