People have such a limited understanding of technology that the office tech support person can seem like a literal godsend. IT has to deal with some of the worst tech support gore around, and managers who don't know what computers are. This guy had to deal with a problem printer, and used an unorthodox method.

Twitter user @calebsaysthings ignited a passionate discussion about just how terrible landlords can be when it comes to addressing tenants' concerns.

Twitter user @SteBurke44 is out here restoring people's faith in humanity. It turns out that a bike he'd purchased off someone had been stolen, and was actually worth $1800. As luck would have it, he was contacted by the original owner of the bike and able to get it back to him. It's moments like these that remind us there are still good people out there just trying to help keep the world's fits of chaos relatively manageable.

Let's take it back to 2012 when Machine Gun Kelly was an "up and coming" rapper who brought just the kind of unforeseen intensity to a performance that Microsoft simply never saw coming. Yes, apparently after MGK started shouting "f**k these computers!" while hopping between tables, he was escorted out by the police. At the very least, you can't say he didn't leave it all out there. Sometimes your show backfires and you end up being escorted out by the police. Talk about a real nightmare.

Maybe he's just trolling Soundcloud rappers? Or maybe this is the start of a career in the music industry.

It's crazy that someone can find themselves in the position of paying for their sister to take their wedding, but it does not seem fun. Weddings are the source of family drama, backstabbing, and in some cases, entitled bridezillas cancelling the wedding and keeping 30k in gifts.

This woman asked the people of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for cutting up and altering her wedding dress, after discovering that her fiancee cheated on her with a stripper. Apparently the sister was upset because she was banking on being able to use it. Honestly, shouldn't it be the (ex) bride's decision on what happens to the dress?

Nothing like a creative take from the brilliant minds of Tumblr, on how to delay the ominous apocalypse. In this case, it sounds like the route to holding off the end times would be to do so through "good parenting." It does sound very similar to the show "Good Omens." So maybe check that out if you're interested in the premise of this little Tumblr tale.

For a real good one, here's an entitled mom who lashed out when her babysitter found a better job.

Billy Cobb did this striking rendition of Radiohead's "Creep," except the last half of every line was replaced by the google autofill results from the first half. Sounds pretty good. It's fun to know what people are searching.

This tutor schooled himself. Sometimes you get caught up in the motions of the job, and you end up being a "tutor" who can't even get their student's name right. To make matters even better, you botch their name to such an extent that you're literally calling them the name of their laptop. Beautiful stuff, really.
