It's encouraging to see people leave a bad job, like when this dude's awful boss asked him to consider his role so he got a better job. The kicker for this one is that, while the owners are trying to manipulate this guy into hiring his own replacement, the new guy with the sketchy job history was their choice anyway.

As far as petty revenge cases go, this one is something else. A woman in Manhattan Beach had her house painted pink with a couple emojis from an angry neighbor who was taking their revenge after being reported for a short-term rental. Short-term rentals are illegal out in Manhattan Beach. The LA Times reports that Kathryn Kidd had to pay $4,000 in fines after being reported for using her property as a short-term rental.
Honestly though, there's no denying that this petty revenge is just plain brilliant. What a genius way to tell your neighbor to mind their own business.

These are the kind of reviews that we live for. We're pretty certain this guy pulled this story out of thin air. He absolutely gets bonus points for the creativity and lovable stupidity though.

Who in their right mind would think it's appropriate to ask someone fly to a different country to do multiple shows for free, and try to pass it off under some "love of the game" BS? Like, you can be passionate about music, but that would be just plain stupid. We've seen a ton of choosing beggars, but what never fails to bewilder is when they straight up get mad when people don't want to be taken advantage of.

Funny signs are one of our favorite past times. They go above and beyond to keep those traveling the roads entertained. These are a nice mix of clever, dark-humored, and brig plenty of wordplay.

Twitter user @aleeyaderige, shared a powerful thread on how to help a loved one who's dealing with depression. She touches on many of the painful ins and outs of living with depression, and her thread went viral because of how many grateful people connected with what she'd written.

The question is whether or not you can handle all this scary cursed images madness. We know you guys have an appetite for the weird and outright deeply unsettling, and that's where cursed images always come in handy. We've seen plenty of cursed food that could sour the biggest of appetites, but now it's time to take things a bit darker and get into the scary cursed images department.

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.

If you've ever had your schedule at the beckon call of a city bus, there's certainly a time when you've cursed God for being seconds too late. This story at least makes up for a few of those times. Nothing rings in the ears of a malicious driver like the phrase "I am taking this bus." Tumblr is home to a wealth of fun stories, like these ones about genuinely innocent dude stories.

Read those contracts people! The consent is there (hopefully) whether you realize it or not. This traveler's Twitter thread about the state of facial recognition software is both unsurprising and deeply terrifying. What a time to be alive.

#GreenShirtGuy is an inspiration. He maintains his cool and proceeds to laugh his ass off amidst a passionate display of word vomit from the "Sanctuary City" Heckler who said that people need to respect the laws or get deported. Apparently he couldn't help his outburst of laughter over the plain absurdity of the situation. The #GreenShirtGuy has since then been identified as comedian and activist, Alex Kack.

We're pretty sure the idea was to show the dangers of an upcoming storm. The resulting prank is sort of jarring and kind of hilarious. We wish people were this weird on every news network.

This obnoxious moron was clearly just trying to get a rise out of Jaden Smith when he rushed him and had the loud noises blaring. Fortunately, Jaden Smith maintains a calm and collected demeanor and ultimately makes the guy look like the moron that he is, when he asks how he'd go about "raising money for the homeless." Literally had no idea what to say. I think I heard him spew something out about raising money for his YouTube channel.

A busy subway car can be like a living room that everyone has to commute in. Sometimes you're forced into strange situations, like the time the NYC subway banned dogs unless they could fit into bags. The fact remains, you're packed in with so many people from different backgrounds trying to get to such different destinations that you're bound to see some wild stuff.

We like learning how our favorite movies achieved their astounding visual effects, but sound effects can make or break the tone of a movie. It's pretty cool to think that it's someone's job to figure out what it would sound like for a mooshy robot body to be pushed through metal bars. What's even more interesting is that they decided it would sound like dog food sliding out of a can.

As far as ignorant reviews go, this one ranks at the very top. This woman clearly has a whole lot of learning to do, and maybe she'll realize how far off she was with her assessment of the plantation if she gets wind of people's reactions on Twitter.

Sometimes the best thing to do is just turn around and walk away. We've heard from people who have been caught doing weird stuff, so now it's time to hear from the other side. People manage to accidentally barrel into some weird and awkward crap a lot. At a certain point all you can do is just turn around on the spot and never mention it again. Or, I guess, laugh at them.

The internet will always have a steady supply of people telling lies for their own personal gain. Fortunately, there's a decent number of people around that are ready to do the research, and google image searching necessary to unmask hastily told BS from self-motivated, BS-spewing liars. These liars got put in their place, and learned a quick embarrassing lesson on the power of telling the truth.

Police sometimes get overzealous with boasting about underwhelming drug busts, and the savage people of facebook are hardly ever kind to them. People are fond of roasting terribly ancient guns too. This time people had some hard hitting jokes, as well as pretty decent points about the ridiculous nature of this particular bust.

We're big fans of seeing disrespectful customers getting taught lessons by employees, so it seems natural that if an entitled customer demands to stupidly expose themselves to a crazy hot hot sauce, you let them guzzle it down, by god. She claimed that it wasn't actually spicy to save face, but we all know she lost the battle.

Twitter users are in a state of utter outrage over the news that there's a "Home Alone" reboot in the works at Disney. Is nothing sacred? It would appear so in these dark and troubling times. Like seriously. Leave "Home Alone" and go mess with something else, guys. Anything else. Just not this timelessly entertaining classic.
