Misfortune and failure is primed to strike at any moment. The ways it can hit are often cartoonish, like a melting ice cream cake or an exploding glass coffee table. Sure we can be careful, watch our steps and keep our noses clean, but that still won't stop chaos and its friends from entering our lives.

This fun Tumblr thread dives into how Jurassic Park is a timeless treasure, with special effects that were way ahead of its time. Consider yourself warned, this might bring on a wave of pure nostalgia for the times of old.

We've got some fresh dazzling retorts that managed to silence their receivers, like none other. Sometimes people just put the right words together in such a way that whoever is receiving the comeback is just left speechless.

Let's face it, most of us are too paranoid for our own good. We make up stories and wild explanations for even the smallest things in our lives. Most are outlandish and are more an exercise in creativity, but some of these conspiracy theories seem to make almost too much sense.

We've assembled a fine collection of failed movie pitches that simply didn't make it past the pitching process. Sometimes what seems like a great idea at the time is anything but that. But hey, you never know if an idea is truly not worth seeing through until you go ahead and pitch it. Poor Seth Rogen got shut down hard with that R-rated Care Bears pitch.

Doing any kind of formal or informal business is stressful enough, but these kinds of folks really push it over the edge by being inconsolably rude while making totally irrational demands. These entitled fools are a wast of everyone's time, and they don't seem to understand that. For example, this absurd lying stranger won't pay for a rug and thinks that they've won.

Karen is not okay, you guys. She's in the middle of a devastating meltdown regarding a gift of Air Pods to her kid. Apparently, Karen's standards are such that the only acceptable gift for her kid is a pair of the Air Pods Pro. She wants to make sure the other kids at her kid's school are impressed. And she wants this while she uses the Air Pods at yoga, for herself. Nice, Karen.

This case of a choosing beggar refusing to accept the reality in front of them, involves not wanting to pay for a deposit they put down. Even better, they won't wrap their mind around the fact that the deposit is there in case people flake on showing up in the first place. This is gold all around.

When will people ever learn to not mess around with the IT guy! This guy was just trying to enjoy a couple cupcakes, and someone else let their greedy desires take priority over what had been graciously left for him to enjoy.

Sometimes it seems like an entitled customer has all the time in the world to make absurd demands that go beyond not only your job description but above common sense. In this case it was lady who wanted the freshest donuts as humanly possible, and this employee made it happen. No one has the time or patience for the demands of entitled Karens.

We wish, for the general state of things, that people were better at thinking. Since that will never change, all we can really do in lieu of that is laugh at the funnier moments of pure facepalm life has to offer. The sheer number of disappointing moments of facepalm is absolutely daunting.

Parents are describing the mind boggling questions that their toddlers asked them. Some toddlers are born into the world, and filled to the brim with questions. They might question everything, endlessly. And some of the questions will seem devoid of logic as we know it. Maybe all that questioning of the way things are is its own kind of wisdom. Who knows?

Most of us want to put our high school lives behind us. We sure thought we knew everything, but over the next few years realized that we were still stupid. At least we still have our old yearbooks with all the senior quotes to look back on and try to forget about again.

Sometimes it can be fun to run the numbers on things that were never intended to be studied through the lens of mathematics in the first place. We've got calculations galore, on hand. Apparently numbers can actually be fun sometimes.

Ah yes, Tumblr does it again. This time with a pleasant story that brings some of Marvel's superheroes together with the infamous "Death Star." Can't say we wouldn't love to see how this would look on the big screen. Talk about a fun way of putting Ant-Man's toys to good use.

This lying customer learned a humbling lesson in the ramifications of telling a dumb lie to pull one over on an automotive locksmith who was just trying to help. Yes, it'd seem the customer decided they didn't want to pay for the services provided, so they hatched up a lie about their rear defroster being broken in the process of the job. The locksmith decided to petty revenge back in response to the lie, and what sounds like satisfaction ensued.

It's another one of those unfair changes in policy made by management with zero foresight. It seems like a huge company should be able to adapt when their employees use the benefits they promise to give. In a similar story, here's a guy who came up with a masterful plan when told he had to work on vacation.

You can't really blame a group of people who had adult children before the internet was even invented for being bad with the internet. But you can most certainly laugh at the frequent mistakes they make on there. There's weird breaks in social media etiquette, strange oversharing and general mistakery. But hey, these old people on social media are doing their best.

This coder decided to take what's been labeled a "nuclear revenge." It sounds like their ex-employer was a nightmare. Apparently, they refused to pay the coder when they went to leave the job, and followed up that refusal with trying to spread a bad and false reputation about them. No good!

Every day, people birth new stupid design failures that need some help. Whether it's a useless fence, an accidentally dirty sign, directions that make no sense or just a misplaced toilet, we're grateful for them all. These were design fails were someone's one job, but we doubt many will admit to doing them.

Our brains are strange things. In this case, we get to enjoy a breakdown on how they go about perceiving what we call the color magenta. Apparently magenta is not a single color of light, but instead is how our brain perceives two different colors of light at opposing ends of the spectrum.

This dude decided to check their fiance's location history, and came to discover that there was cheating going on. Ouch. But hey, thanks to the discovery they're free from someone who refused to keep themselves faithful to their partner in the first place.

This luxury car dealership decided to treat a customer like dirt. In the long run, thanks to a nice pro revenge, they end up being the ones to have to clean the car. Just picturing the dad's face while the car dealership washed the car, is enough to put a smile on our faces.

People selling mirrors speaks for itself. They're doing their best to sell some mirrors, and in the process, hilarious pictures ensue. Maybe some of these people are just embracing the fact that they're in the frame.
