Flat Earther Tears Up What He Deems "Science Propaganda Book" In The Middle of Store


With commentary from SciManDan, we're taken through an amazing journey as a flat earther rips up a children's science book that he deems to be round earth propaganda in a Target. He buys the book anyway, so while he seems content with his incredibly limited world view, what he truly fears is the wrath of a Target manager watching him destroy product. Just kinda makes you sad.

Artist Refuses To Give A Birthday Discount, Says It's Their Birthday Too, Proposes Extra Charge


Artist refuses to give out a birthday discount, says it's their birthday too.

This choosing beggar expected a nice 50% off birthday discount. She was hoping to get the $20 purse half off, and the artist had other plans. Specifically, they clapped back with adding the discount back on, so that the item was at its original price. And you know why? Cause it was "their birthday" too! A job well done, if we do say so ourselves.

Things that make people say, "I hate people."

Someone on AskReddit asked people to share the things that make them just go, "man I f**king hate people." Some people are worse and more inconsiderate than others. Some people really shouldn't be on the road. Some people really need to stop sending passive aggressive emails. The list goes on.

Innocent Tumblr Post About Coconuts Turns Scary With Coconut Crabs


A quick Tumblr post on coconuts turns scary when coconut crabs get involved, because they are monstrously huge.

An innocent Tumblr post about how hungry someone must've been when they discovered that coconuts were indeed edible, took a wild turn when someone pointed out how horrid and monstrous looking "coconut crabs" are. Some things are better left unseen. Nature can be a scary bitch sometimes.

Landlord Uses Bible To Justify Raising The Rent, Tenant Misses The Joke


Landlord "uses the Bible" to justify a rent hike, and the tenant totally misses the joke.

In all fairness, if you found yourself caught up in a scenario where your landlord was potentially trying to raise the rent with the bible as justification...you'd be a little peeved too. Fortunately, the landlord was in fact agnostic, and just messing around with a friend who was "way too easy to rile up." He got her good.

Client Refuses to Pay Web Designer, So He Edits The Guy's Site to Advertise His Competitors


Story of web designer whose client refused to pay, so he changed the site until he did pay.

I guess if you want to not pay someone for their work, it's a pretty bad idea to start off your plan by handing over the keys to your site. Karma hit hard here. It's generally a better policy not to lie and steal, especially from people who have a plan to strike back. Kinda like the time this guy got stiffed so he grouted a bathroom with sugar.

Vegan Accuses Non-Vegan Of Cultural Appropriation For Eating Tofu


Vegan accuses a non-vegan of cultural appropriation for eating tofu in addition to meat.

As far as angry vegan entitlement goes, this ranks right up at the top. The vegan in this scenario has the audacity to call out a "non-vegan" who appreciates the taste of tofu compared to meats, for cultural appropriation. Are you kidding me. Good on the non-vegan for clapping right back with some well-deserved spice.

It's all about finding the loophole that works for you.

Fake Service Dogs Called Out For Creating Real Problems For People That Have Disabilities


Tumblr post calls out fake service dogs for creating real problems for people with actual disabilities that need them.

This Tumblr post aims to call out the people that are misusing "service dogs" and ultimately complicating, and making very real problems for the people with disabilities that rely on them. You can't just buy your dog a vest online and call it a "service dog." But apparently common sense will always be lost on people.

It's probably happened to you too. You were thinking to yourself something along the lines of, "what if they made like, a bicycle, but that you didn't have to pedal.

Rage Quitters Share What Their Last Straws Were At Work


Redditors share what the last straw was for them at work before they rage quit their jobs.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share what the last straws were for them at work before they rage quit their jobs. The resulting insights are filled to the brim with frustration and people just plain old getting to the end of their tolerance for BS. On a totally different note, you could strike gold, and end up like this guy who got hired, was never told what to do, and managed to stay on for months.

He just wanted to find his sole mate. This girl was contacted by a guy from her old college marching band. He was asking for sexy foot pictures. That alone is enough to turn some heads, but add in the fact that they hadn't spoken in 7 years, and you've got a cringeworthy masterpiece on your hands. She decides to put it to a poll, and after the internet speaks in favor of the photoshoot, she absolutely overdelivers!

27 Reasons That Go To Show Kids Are Dumb Little Idiots


Kids failing, making mistakes, and stories of mistakes people made when they were children.

Let's cut to the chase, kids are dumbas hell. We see it in them, and we even see it in ourselves when we were younger. We all have a memory of some time we accidentally followed a stranger around the store thinking it was a parent, or used to think poop was stored in butt cheeks, etc. Anyway, children do stupid things, and it feels good to know you're an adult who has made somewhat of an improvement since your own childhood.

Guy Gets Hired at Store, Never Told to do Anything, Stays On for Months


Guy tells story of how when he was a teenager he was hired at a retail store. No one told him to do anything so he occupied his time, then got bored and left.

This is surreal and the fact that this guy did what he did for this long before just walking away has sort of an air of triumph to it. First jobs can be really confusing, so when you're a dumb teenager who has no idea how jobs actually work, and are then given zero direction from an awful manager, you can get down some weird rabbit holes.
