If you're crap at conversation, nothing gets people involved and passionate quite like a semi-tongue-in-cheek debate on what kind of bird is best. Petty arguments are fantastic. Twitter user christineexists explained this admittedly great argument/party and apparently other people do it too.

Apparently this is marketing for some TV Show, but we're just glad that we live in a world where stunts like this can happen.

People are asked to make stuff all the time, and sometimes there's more stress that something gets done than if it gets done well. That can lead to some pretty dumb design fails that didn't go as planned. Every day someone does a bad job, and every day there are more design failures that didn't work out.

This teacher's viral story about teaching deaf kids how farts work is a hilariously wholesome little tale. Taking a moment and picturing the look of shock and the confusion thereafter on these kids faces as they learn about the wild world of farts is just golden.

If you asked us whether we expected someone to go ahead and rank the Marvel movies by if there are any trains in them, we'd have said, no way. But here we are. Good old Tumblr never lets us down when it comes to surprising us with hyper-focused posts on various subject matters. We'll never look at Marvel movies the same.

Rudeness and a complete lack of self reflection go hand in hand. This gullible dude really wanted some free art, but like all the other demanding people who want artists to work for free, got trolled. There's some freakish entitlement going around, like this mom who lashed out at her babysitter for getting a better job.

The world can be a big, scary, and confusing place. Sometimes life will throw us a curveball while we're out there just trying to grind through another day, and we'll genuinely have no idea what to do next. Fortunately, there are kindhearted and helpful souls that regularly share their "life pro tips" in one of our favorite subreddits. From de-escalating wild Karens while out shopping, to avoiding scammers posing as your bank, you never know when these might come in handy.

There are point in our life when we see some BS, like these breaking point moments of retail workers. Typically we tolerate this kind of behavior and our social graces prevail so we don't get to act on spiteful impulse. These people said "screw that" did and did that shit anyway.

Nothing fills our hearts with joy and appreciation like a couple Tumblr users swapping knowledge about the history of soda and carrier pigeons in a totally random Tumblr thread. But hey, that's what Tumblr is all about. Can't say that we knew that drinking Pepsi cold and Coke warm would result in them tasting the same. Is that real life?

There's nothing quite like the desperation of someone who hasn't prepared for an assignment. In this case they wanted to have a near stranger's project, like just given to them. Entitlement can really be something else. Something similar happened when this entitled college slacker demanded a classmate's notes and got denied.

This customer left a poor review for this mechanic without letting all the facts out. The owner responded with some pretty critical information that put the reviewer in a very different light. For another review that demanded a heavy response, here's a donut shop owner who handled a customer's angry review like a boss.

You might end up thinking unicorns existed too if you were a medieval scribe trying to translate second hand knowledge. Tumblr offers some creative, humorous, and off the wall discussion on a variety of eclectic topics, like Funny and Unexpected History Threads or the domestication of cats. You can never be sure of what bored people will do with their time, but luckily Tumblr pops out some gems.

This landlord thought they'd simply scam another few tenants with a BS "cleaning fee." Fortunately, these tenants decided to fight back with a smart and effective revenge. You better believe that the landlord is kicking himself now, to the tune of $6,000. Ouch, but definitely deserved.

Having a bad roommate is one of life's great frustrations. If you've never had a roommate who steals your things, doesn't clean up after themselves and generally makes you feel like a stranger in your own home, then consider yourself lucky. Some people battle their thieving roommates with booby traps, but that's getting extreme.

The idea behind a community board like Next Door is a noble one, with the goal of fostering a sense of belonging and whatever, but more often than not it just turns into a venue for people to air their fears and grievances. Also a place for old ladies to freak out about cars that drive by once at 3 pm.

Seeing a star in person can have the effect of making you the stupidest person on the planet. Like, what do you say to a movie star if you're awkwardly blocking their way on an airplane? Seeing someone in person that you've seen in a movie, even someone you may not even particularly like, creates a scenario that most people just don't know how to deal with.

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was a jerk for clapping back against his friend who said she was out of his league. He proceeded to meet that statement by telling her that she "wasn't that pretty." People seem to be of the opinion that everyone kind of sucks here.

Nothing like a good old-fashioned petty revenge by an employee who was simply waiting for the opportune time to take it. In this case, it sounds like "Jill" was a bit of a nightmare to work with, when it came to her refusing to be a team player, and switch shifts. Sometimes emergencies come up, and if you refuse to help out other teammates in need by switching a shift, you better be ready for them to throw it right back in your face. Thus, we have Jill and her ultimate downfall. Oh boy, did Jill get those just deserts.

Ah, this guy can't be too hard on himself! All part of the learning experience that goes into an impressive undertaking like building your own computer. That being said, many of us can relate to the infuriating predicament that is discovering your machine isn't broken and is just on the wrong input. Happens to the best of us.

The bad part about making a product or sign is that if you obviously screw up, a whole bunch of people are gonna see it and get to laugh at your mistake. The upside is that a whole bunch of people are going to see it, and they get to laugh at your mistake. Here are some more dumb design fails that were someone's one job.
