We get that all the promotions are annoying, but it's just someone's job and you don't have to go out of your way to make someone's job harder. And if in fact you are a jackass about it, don't go trusting them with your movie-going experience. In rare moments in customer service, waiters and servers deliver clapbacks as well.

He really got her with the, "your mouth sounds like it's falling down the stairs" comment. Ouch. This entitled nightmare expected the guy to break up with his girlfriend for her. Not only that, but her general grasp on personal space seems to be nonexistent. Run for the hills, buddy.

Some of the most frustrating moments in life are when you work at a job that you feel lucky to have, and then realizing your coworker comes in late and does a bad job because they don't even need the money. Life has it's disappointing moments of rich kid syndrome.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share stories of their cringiest teenage phases. We're talking frosted tips, cat ears, and literally trying to convince classmates that you're a robot. All kinds of cringe run rampant through these flashback stories.

Most people are on a general course of self improvement, trying to be more kind, sympathetic, and generally productive. Then there's also folks who just choose to make things harder for other people, and do trashy things that belong in a landfill. Extreme trashiness can come from every level of society.

The general idea here is whether or not older cars are "better" than newer ones when it comes to accidents. Sure, an older sturdy car won't fall apart as easily in an accident. What it will do is transfer all the kinetic energy of a crash directly into your body. Sometimes people on the internet are wrong about stuff, like this discussion about the facts of plague and veganism

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the biggest mistakes we'd all do well to avoid making while in the kitchen baking/cooking. Things like microwaving your salad, trying to catch a falling knife, and using ketchup as pasta sauce are all prime examples of big no no's in the kitchen.

These tech support moments are pure nightmare fuel. It's a wonder that these people were able to get their machines and internet and whatnot to work like it did.

Everyone knows the most fun facts are about morbid history and animal genitals. Some of these are just plain interesting, some are amazingly gross while others are sad and damning. If it gets to be too much there's also some happy facts to hopefully counteract all the messed up ones.

This creepy employee decided it was the perfect time to hit on his very uncomfortable co-worker, after opening up his marriage. Sounds like he had all kinds of dirty intentions from start. This guy ruined his own life.

Learning the words for things in other languages can be particularly eye opening. From overly literal German translations like "hand shoes" to more poetic euphemisms you'd never think you'd hear, every culture has come up with it's own particular brand of funny words for things. For more, here are non-native English speakers sharing common phrases they wish we had.

Whitney Zelig decided to take a bit of a different approach toward promoting breast cancer awareness. Zelig put together a viral video of her walking around NYC with a hidden camera in her bra. She was surprised at all the looks she got after checking the footage.

It was the world championship road race in Yorkshire. German Dario Gomez Becerra from Colombia had a catastrophic bike failure that left him on the side of the road. He expected to get picked up and...didn't. And the camera guy just followed him while the announcers talked about how sad it as. It's kinda hard to watch. You just want to give the guy a hug and say it's gonna be okay.

These people decided that it was more important to ruin someone else online, than to preserve their own livelihood. Sometimes the damage one might inflict upon themselves is worth it for the pure savagery of a masterful roast. We already love the rare insults and roasts, but to see someone ruin themselves to roast another person is a whole another level of entertainment.

Here are some minor things that seemingly have no upside, and feel like they exist just to make someone angry. Like, who's reading the entire story about someone's vacation in Italy? I just wanna learn how to make pasta sauce. There are a lot of nice things about life, but it's also full of misfortune that intrudes on people's lives as well as manipulative and horrible products.

Any day where nothing particularly unusual happens should be regarded as a pretty good day when you realize all the misfortune that can put a cramp in people's style. Like, maybe your bus was late, but at least it didn't get sucked into a giant sinkhole. The universe can get creative when it uses unfortunate moments to throw folks for a loop.

We've got a fresh round of blessed images to supercharge your day with the positive vibes. There's enough madness and dark stuff going on in the world. Sometimes we need a break from the internet's latest round of discouraging BS, and instead just need some solid, uplifting images. These are cute, wholesome, and absolutely blessed.

We're not established journalists, but we think most of us could do a better job than these facepalm inducing headlines. It's too bad so much journalism is online now and can just be edited later. We miss stuff like these magazine layout fails. Sometimes news dumbness is on the reader's side, like these people who didn't understand satire.

This racist and blatantly ignorant boss is as dumb and toxic as they come. She consistently berated her hard working staff, and threw around verbal jabs about them being "illegals" while they were in fact from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. States territory. As it turns out, Jan was the illegal alien of the whole bunch. Apparently she's from Canada and her green card expired. So, she ends up getting deported when it's all said and done. If anything, we feel bad for Canada having to welcome Jan back.

If it's just two pennies, then why not pay it instead of taking it from the tip jar? The world is full of people who are high on their own sense of moronic entitlement. There's horribly entitled bosses, awful customers, rude low-ballers and nincompoops who want to be paid to take free stuff. At least it's cathartic to know that everyone else has to deal with this stuff.

Apparently some snakes can open doors. It looks staged, but here's another video of a similar snake opening a door by itself.

This young woman found herself in the middle of a terribly entitled, judgmental situation with a couple religious nut job parents. Sounds like they strongly disapproved of their son dating a young woman who attended anime conventions.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the biggest PR stunts and promotion blunders they'd ever seen by companies. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with failure. Can't beat the Life Lock CEO who accidentally leaked his social security number to tons of people.

We're happy that people take it upon themselves to warn other people of the world's potential dangers. It's just sometimes the signs themselves get the better of us and give us extra chills. Some aren't even intentionally scary. Let's face it, there are some ominous signs out there that are just too good at being spooky.
