Hail Santa: Cursed Vintage Pictures With Santa That Will Ruin Your Holiday


Santa Claus as a figure, as a story, and as a concept is downright creepy. Sure, they try to make him seem cute with his jolly voice and his rosy cheeks, but deep down, Santa is a home invader with a child obsession and it's just weird that everyone ignores those two facts. Just because he's a big man who likes to eat 8 billion cookies a night, doesn't mean that he's harmless. This is a man who relies on slave labor to build an empire whose sole purpose is to perpetuate child bribery and 'annual performance reviews' for 7 year olds. Have you been good this year? Well these mall-Santa's certainly have NOT and prove that it's super creepy to let your child sit on a strangers lap, traumatizing them, for a few photos to laugh at later. If you're that person then you'd only have to hope that your local Santa put a little thought into the costume and didn't drink a fifth of vodka for breakfast that morning.  

'I slept under my desk at least 3 nights a week': 20 LinkedIn lunatics who just had to share their most unhinged work thoughts


LinkedIn is a really strange social media site, because people take themselves deadly seriously - after all, this is their career they're talking about! Some folks seem to love posting just to boost their own ego or hype up their most recent accomplishments. But a lot of the time, it turns into oversharing, bragging, or straight-up lying, just to gain some clicks and "good for you!" comments. My favorite is people who start their post by noting how hesitant they were to share this information with their colleagues…like yes, you totally could have just not posted that, Karen! But people have egos and they have engagement to drive, giving us a wealth of LinkedIn Lunacy. 

Below are 20 people who just couldn't resist bragging on the job site, and next up, read about these 30 folks who could not survive one single day without technology

College student goes on rant after bad roommate kicks him out at 2 AM during finals week


We've all had roommate drama...and this college student is starting to learn what that's like. After spending eight hours in the library studying for finals until nearly 2 am, when he finally got back to the room, his evil roommate tried to shoo him away so he could have alone time with his girlfriend. Excuse me? He had eight hours of alone time with her when the Redditor was gone studying. The audacity!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/college subreddit by u/EmprircalCrystal, who was definitely not the clearest or most articulate in his original post but you could tell that was mostly a result of the unbridled rage he was feeling at the time. Be sure to read the screenshots included in the comments section to get more information about the surrounding circumstances. The main takeaway here is that college can be formative for several reasons. One of those reasons, for better or for worse, is that you're going to come across a-holes and you're going to have to learn how to deal with them.

'The most ridiculous flex of power I have ever seen': Boss accuses employee of using a 'fake name' because of common nickname, confiscates their shifts


Some people have an immense propensity to abuse petty amounts of power. If you put some people in charge of filling a cup of water, they would find a way to do so with absolute authority.

This manager got an incredibly petty bee in their bonnet about the shortened version of their own name that they prefer to use. They have taken to telling the employee that their name is "fake" and have even started penalizing the worker by confiscating shifts from them. The most insane part of this entire story is that they have even suggested the employee use a different shortened version of their name. So if shortened names aren't the issue here… what is the issue? This line of thought alone proves the fact that this manager just wants to abuse their power.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Reddit user u/Fragg1eR0ck. They voiced their frustration with their manager's accusations and the entire situation they are facing.

21 Dumb Photoshop Fails By People Who Don't Know The Laws Of Physics


Ho-ho-ha, with Christmas right around the corner, we've got a lot of hilarious, holiday-related content to show you guys. So today we're gonna take a break from that and share with you some pretty dumb photoshop fails instead. The internet is full of delusional people who think they can get away with looking like the exact opposite of what they look like in real life. 

 

This doesn't only apply to people though, it also applies to companies that advertise their products. Everyone downloads Photoshop,  imagining that a Youtube tutorial or two is gonna make them experts. Some people have the audacity (or nativity?) to gasp and deny it when normal people call 'em out.

 

To be perfectly blunt, it's called catfishing. Photoshop has basically become a lot of people's 'go to'. Whether it's because they're insecure, or because… they're insecure. Scroll down to see the best of the worst. Plus, if you wanna see some more delusional people, just in a different form, feel free to click here.
