Major Dating App Fail Memes That Tickled Our Fancy This Week


Being able to navigate dating apps is honestly a skill, and definitely not one that everyone possesses. Some people seem to be naturals at it. They strike up engaging conversations with anyone they match with, and don't get butt-hurt when things don't work out. But we think it's safe to say that the majority of people are entirely clueless on there, and yes, we are people. We don't pretend to be experts, but we do still laugh at people who are slightly more cringy than we are because that's literally our job. And honestly, if you've perfected your dating app, and your life is so dang perfect, why are you even on the apps, to begin with? Okay, maybe we are a little butt-hurt.


Whether you love swiping or plan to delete the app every other day, we think you've landed in the right place. Let's get into these dating app memes now, shall we?

10 Top Trending Back-to-School Memes


Summer is over (did it even happen?) and now it's time to switch from Hot Girl Summer memes to Back-to-School memes.

 

For students bracing themselves for the beginning of the school year, know that everyone's nervous. For parents stressing on behalf of their children (what if they don't pass 5th grade Math? What will the Ivy Leagues think?!), know that you're probably not helping. And for those of you who are still haunted by school memories, maybe a little part of us misses it. Everything felt so big and yet, none of it really mattered. Can't say the same about adulthood.

 

So without further ado, here are the top trending back-to-school memes, which were posted to Reddit's r/school_memes subreddit. For more, check out these trending relatable memes. 

'I wanted to save money': Employee cooks dinner in hotel room's coffee pot while traveling for work


This satirical LinkedIn post, which was shared via this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/Delli_Boy_Roy, perfectly satirizes saving company money in order to get a promotion.

 

Let's be honest here. One of the ways employees are meant to impress their superiors is to be as productive as possible while spending as little as possible on the company's dime. They might take you out to a nice work dinner to get you to stay in their hellish corporate world, but if you're leaving your home and family to travel on behalf of the company, you better not spend very much besides, you know, your soul! Knowing where to cut costs is crucial, and employees need to learn how to think outside the box early if they want to achieve managerial status. And you weren't going to actually use that hotel room coffee pot for real coffee, right?

 

In all honesty, the major takeaway here is that you should never use your hotel coffee pot because people are stupid and someone might genuinely try this. I wouldn't put it past some dummies out there! 

 

For more ridiculous antiwork content, take a look at this story where an employee quit his job because his boss still owed him $2,000.

Insane Choosing Beggar Wants to Pay Less Than $3/Hr For Childcare


A single mother posted this message to a Facebook group, requesting a childcare provider capable and willing to work for less than $3 an hour. The concerning thing here is that the poster is quick to share all of the problems that they are currently dealing with as justification for paying such a miserably low rate. Yet, not once do they take any ownership for any part of their situation. Every problem they have is described as being the fault of something/someone other than themselves. 

These screenshots were shared by another Facebook group member to Reddit's r/choosingbeggars community, where they have become one of this week's top posts.

First, you should never make the mistake of engaging in any activity with someone who types with this many emojis. These people can not be trusted to be rational and reasonable or make good decisions. I do, however, admire the time and care the author took to make sure they used every relevant emoji they could. Is there an app or something that does this for you? Because I simply do not have the willpower to spend as much time as she has curating such an amazing emoji palette.  

This post also shares much more information than we would ever even care to know. I don't even share this much information with my mother when I Facetime her to catch up. Heck, I'm surprised that the writer of the message hasn't listed everything she had for breakfast in this post.

"I should also ADD 🤣 that I had the BEST breakfast THIS MORNING. 😔🥹😜🍌 Banana OATMEAL with little CHOCOLATE CHIPS on top. 🌞✨"
