Try as hard as we might, misfortune often gets the best of people. Even if nothing exciting happens to you today, it's at least a decent reminder that most days don't go too bad. You probably didn't get blasted off of a ship with a water cannon today, and your car probably didn't flip over ironically.

The world has its fair share of design fails. When people are involved in anything, things will go wrong. And since design is specifically a thing people do, there's a lot to go wrong. From stupid signs and dumb mistakes in products to crappy attempts at fixtures and doorways, every facet of life is at risk of failure.

Buckle up for one wild ride. Long story short, it sounds like Anish Kapoor is one selfish and elitist jerk. The art world doesn't want him, and we're not surprised after reading this Tumblr thread about how he basically hoards pretty colors from the world for his own personal gain. Fortunately, there was someone named Stuart Semple who was ready to fight the good fight; and ultimately bring the cool and pretty colors back to the world. The way he goes about it is petty revenge at its finest.

It sounds like these golfers were lost in the sauce, and acting up in all kinds of ways. In this case, we've got a nice golf course ranger who was just trying to maintain some peace on the course. Unfortunately, one particular golfer didn't take too kindly to him telling them to stop drinking and stirring up a ruckus on the course. He handled the situation with a little pro revenge, and ended up getting them busted by a sheriff who was nearby.

This guy's trying to challenge the stereotype about all these brilliant tech masterminds starting their global operations from within the confines of a stuffy garage. Instead, he asserts that some of these billionaires enjoyed the benefits of other factors like generational wealth, family investments, nepotism, etc.

A bad boss can make or break a whole company. Sometimes they can even make everyone quit at once. Here's a good reminder that even if you feel stuck at a crappy job, you can evaluate your skills and may realize that you totally don't have to put up with the BS that a bad boss sticks you with daily.

We're huge fans of the bizarre and creative parody work of Keaton Patti (see this hilarious Bot written Olive Garden Commercial script) and the Austin Powers movies hold a nostalgic, groovy place in our hearts. So we'd imagine a cross between the two would be a pretty fantastic thing. And boy, is it.

Choosing beggars never fail to leave us scratching our heads. Why bother asking what the price is for something when you're coming into the situation with a nice whopping $0 in your mind? In this case, I guess they reached so far as to offer shelling out for the postage fee. My god! How gracious. But seriously, what compels these choosing beggars to do the things they do. And then without fail they'll play the victim and call the seller who's just trying to make money off their skills, "rude." What a nightmare.

Did you know it was possible to play video games using musical instruments? Like not Guitar Hero, but games like James Bond. Yeah, I had no idea. This is amazing. Gamer Jackson Parodi manages to speedrun "GoldenEye 007" using a piano as a controller, and it's a sight to behold.

The security guard went as far as to pull his gun on a freakin' deputy sheriff. Then he went on to call the cops on the cops and carefully omitted the fact that the guy was literally in uniform. Hot damn.

Not everything has to be extremely clever in order to be funny. There's a time for well-thought out jokes, and there's a time for exceedingly dumb puns and grotesque observations. While these quips, memes and dad jokes may be stupid, they are technically correct.

Reporter Marshall Allen shared a recent viral Twitter thread about a story he covered that makes for one true emotional rollercoaster. This story involves a shady personal trainer/terrible dad who spent years posing as a doctor and billing the nation's top insurers, while scamming millions in the process. It's being referenced as a case study in how health insurers make it easy to scam millions off of people. All around a deeply unsettling story.

Holy crap, how do you even get in a situation like this? We've seen people want to disown their sister, but this is an even bigger piece of family drama. And what are you gonna do? Send your step-daughter to prison? Is that even the right thing to do? Defrauding your parents into debt is a terrible move, but how many lives do you wanna ruin here? All in all, this isn't a fun situation to be in.

We've seen all kinds of hot tempered choosing beggars who get really upset when someone won't take their wet 3-dollar bill in exchange for a Playstation 4, but we rarely run across folks who are willing to fight in exchange for a photoshoot. Maybe these guys really are hardcore.

The internet's in no short supply of cursed images to make you deeply uncomfortable, and generally shake in your bones. There's just something strange and infectious about scrolling through images that test your tolerance levels for stomaching the bizarre, the cursed, the cringeworthy. If you need a dose of something a bit lighter after looking at these, you might want to check out these blursed images. They're basically cursed images but funny.

There are more than a few satire websites out there, and there's a lot of softheaded nincompoops who believe it. Sometimes reading a joke headline can be confusing for a person who lacks critical thinking skills. Often they get angry because they don't understand what's going on. Sometimes, even more distressingly, they think that the headline is good news and share it with their friends. It's fun to laugh at their confusion, but eventually it just kind of gets sad.

Over 20,000 people have petitioned Netflix to cancel "Good Omens." The big and beautiful fail here though is that "Good Omens" is actually an Amazon Prime show. Ha! The Christian campaign called "Return to Order" is seemingly destined for nothing but one big whopping failure.
The petition has issues with the relationship between the show's angel and demon, as well as the God character being voiced by a woman. It references the show as being another step towards making Satanism "normal, light, and acceptable."
Neil Gaiman who began creating the series following the request of Terry Pratchett, has trolled the campaign to sweet perfection on Twitter.
