10 Top Trending Tinder Moments From the Gladiatorial Arena of Online Dating

Welcome to this week's 'Top Tinder Moments' a collection of the hottest things this week in online dating. It's a brutal and unforgiving landscape out there in the gladiatorial arena of online dating and if you dare to enter you probably won't be coming out in one piece. Enter wearily lest ye find yourself pitted up against the "Raging Gym Bro of Gaul" or find yourself in the hands of one of the dreaded "Free Food Sirens" who just want you to take them on a date to save having to feed themselves for one solitary evening. Alright, so, we totally crossed over from Hollywood's idea of Rome to Greek mythology there, but I'm just hoping you'll ignore that fact and roll with it.

Scroll on and don't be frightened by these feral beasts, though you should tread with caution.

Check out last week's installment here.

Relatable Memes and Tweets For People Just Trying to Make It to Friday

Some people thrive during the work week. They have a routine that they love, they get up early, they work out, they drink their stupid healthy smoothies, and enjoy eating the same quinoa salad they prepped for the fourth lunch in a row. These are unicorn individuals. 

 

The rest of us feel sluggish by Tuesday, test our morning routines by pressing snooze, skip working out, drink stupid unhealthy caramel frappuccinos, and order pungent Seamless food to the office for lunch because no matter what your bank account says, you CAN afford it! Please know that if you apply to any or all of these, you are not alone. 

 

For those of you who feel that the weekend can't come fast enough, here are some memes and tweets to get you through the next few days. Happy middle-of-the-week Hell, everyone! For more content like this, check out these top trending Tinder moments. 

Employee Gets Bitten by Boss's Aggressive Dog and Pushed to Finish His Work Before Going to the Hospital

When you get badly wounded and they ask you to complete your hours before seeking medical attention, that's when you better believe you're not treated like a human being at work. 

 

This employee arrived at his office job only to find out that his boss brought his unleashed, aggressive dog to work that day. Now, normally little doggies could brighten someone's dreary day at the office, but not this dog. This dog seems like a descendant of Cujo. Not only that, but the boss refused to put him on a leash and keep him in his private office. By the time the dog aggressively barked at the employee in his cubicle and then lunged at him, the boss came over and cussed out….the employee. Because that makes sense, right?

 

It gets worse. The employee wanted to go to the hospital and voiced that to his supervisor, who then proceeded to push him to stay until his hours were complete. The AUDACITY of that man! Thankfully, the Redditor didn't comply, stormed out, and plans to press charges. Hopefully, he's not traumatized by dogs for life because even in just writing this, I'm getting chills about the next time Susan brings her standard poodle to the office. Get a dog sitter, Susan!

Wife Tricks Man-Child Husband Into Thinking Her Cooking is His Mother's, Tantrum Ensues

We've seen a lot of picky eaters, man-children, and food deception in AITA posts, but this one has managed to combine all three. This absolute penultimate dingus has somehow managed to convince himself that the only food he can possibly eat is his mother's to the extent that she hand delivers meals to him every SINGLE night of the week except for the night that they go to her house.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mother's cooking (hi Mom), and I would love to have this arrangement… but none of this would be because I refused to eat my partner's cooking. Sure, she could stand to up the spice levels a little bit (maybe so they at least satisfied the palette of a midwestern housewife), but I'm never going to turn down food. Period. If my mother were feeding me every night at 30 what she was feeding me at 13, I'd also probably gain 100 lbs in the span of a fortnight. 

I'm glad that this mother and her son have such a stable, loving, and codependent relationship… There just might not be any room for his wife in the middle of it. Why did she marry this guy?

'I acknowledged the value of eating mud': Guy on LinkedIn gets dragged for tone deaf post

The number of people on LinkedIn who need to stop and read the room is increasing astronomically, and this "Growth Advisor" is no exception. 

 

This post was shared via this thread on Reddit's r/LinkedInLunatics subreddit by u/Che_Pibe, who appropriately highlighted the phrase "eat mud." What an awful choice of words for someone who is actually promoting the concept of paying your dues. Of course, this guy, whose job seems like a BS position with a glorified title, has decided to combat the concept of "quiet quitting" with a lame and outdated perspective on what it means to work hard at the bottom of the ladder. And all to be a "growth advisor!" 

 

Someone should tell this guy that if he really wants to inspire younger employees, who reject the concept of sacrificing their lives for their work, he should try to get a real sense of where they're coming from before stepping on his LinkedIn soap box. Also, the fact that he truly believes creating posts like this consistently on LinkedIn has helped his career is baffling to us. No, sir. Posts like this inspire nothing but eye-rolling. Posts like this make you a "fractional VP" and not an actual VP.

'What's for dinner tonight b*tch?': Boyfriend's attempt at terrible TikTok trend results in 'saucy' real-life breakup

It's always important to remember that you shouldn't try everything you see on the internet. If I had blindly tried everything I had seen online, without a doubt, I'd be all alone inhabiting a prison cell somewhere. 

It's just a good idea to take everything you see online or in real life with a grain of salt, and you shouldn't need a disclaimer stamped on everything to realize this. Well, this guy would probably jump off a bridge if you told him to, and, after a solid session doom-scrolling TikTok while his overworked girlfriend prepped dinner, Don Draper here decided it would be an excellent time to try a new relationship trend that he had seen. It turns out his girlfriend was just one slight away from literally dropping everything and walking out, and as soon as he uttered the word "b*tch," he was destined, right there and then, to stew in Ragú and sadness. 

This guy is the reason why we need to have warning labels and disclaimers before everything. It's no small wonder that, at this point, we don't have basketballs that have "WARNING: Bounces" stamped all over them.

Employees Go Over What They Were Not Prepared for About the Corporate World

How can one really prepare themselves for the corporate world? You can watch as many TV shows centered around office spaces as you want, but even as boring as they try to make themselves appear, they don't quite hit the nail on the head. The corporate world is like a secret that you could only uncover once by signing a thick contract that binds you to it for a good chunk of your life. This isn't to say that there are no benefits of selling your soul to capitalism, there's one major benefit that we can probably all agree on, Money. It's true, that a lot of money comes from corporations and if you get your foot in the door a lot of that money can go straight into your pocket. On TikTok, people are sharing things that they were simply nowhere near prepared for before entering the corporate world and it seems that a lot of these things have a lot in common. Perhaps these are worth taking a look at before applying for that new job you got sent on LinkedIn.
