Funny Tumblr Gems of The Sparkling Variety


If you find yourself either bored or boring it would behoove you to indulge in some funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later. Those quirkmongers of the internet are out to make brilliantly stupid observations whether you like it or not. Even just a small pocketful of shiny tumblr gems is enough to turn today's snooze fest into a snooze vest, which is more fashionable, breezier and therefore more exciting.

Employee Catches Managers Stealing, Gets Nice Raise


Man, just when we thought we'd seen the worst of the worst, when it comes to scumbag managers, we end up happening upon this mess. You've got a couple managers that thought they'd be able to get away with stealing. Well, this employee certainly taught them a humbling, harsh lesson. And talk about a raise that was well deserved!

Entitled Neighbor Expects Free High Speed Internet, Gets Rejected


Some neighbors are more unbearable than others. Some neighbors come with ungodly amounts of entitlement coursing through their veins, while others are actually genuinely nice to have around your vicinity. It sounds like this particular drama broke out over one homeowner not wanting to hook up a neighbor with free internet. Apparently that decision inspired their friend to call them out for being rude. 

Outdated Advice That Just Doesn't Make Sense Anymore


It's not like anyone wants to give you bad advice. Well, maybe these hilariously bad and dumb life pro tips might be exactly that. This incredibly dumb financial advice also falls into the category of "straight up don't do this." That said, times change and some previously ubiquitous good ideas find themselves no longer belonging, whether it be due to evolving technology, changing social ideas, or the rapid decline and corruption of various institutions.

Shady Manager Tries To Impersonate Employee, Tech Support Shuts Manager Down


Honestly, this manager sounds like he's all kinds of shady. It's moments like the one we hear about in this tech support tale that further demonstrate the value of hard working and aware tech support employees. "Joe" was trying to pull off what very well could've been a criminal action. Fortunately though, he came up short and got humiliated in the process. 

Blunderous Foibles of The English Language


If there's anything to learn from all the regrettable and dumb spelling fails we see on a daily basis, it's that absolutely no one is immune to really stupid mistakes when it comes to their mastery of the English language. Non-native speakers and people who have been speaking English their whole lives all succumb to the fun and frustration of the English language, and at this rate it looks like there's no way to stop it.

Twitter Thread: Shopping Mall Maps Work Great For Megadungeon Inspiration


Twitter user @PrismaticWastes decided to enlighten the world about how asymmetrical shopping mall maps actually translate beautifully for megadungeon maps. When you think about it, it makes sense. Malls are pretty much designed to make shoppers stay as long as humanly possible. Apparently college campus and zoo maps are also viable options. 

"Not My Job" Moments Of Effortless Unprofessionalism


Work is a necessary evil. Doing stuff basically sucks, but it's better than being hungry, wet and cold all the time, so the choice is pretty obvious. Naturally, most of us try to get through the day employing as little effort as possible, and sadly for some of us it really shows. "Not my job" moments of failure fill up our streets and living spaces, providing at least some ironic consolation that everyone, not just you, is doing the bare minimum. These moments of dubious professionalism are far from our best work, and it shows.

Man Acts Like Child At ATM, Gets Put In Timeout


Many of us have gotten caught up in a bad day, and sometimes that bad day can result in someone momentarily refusing to act like an adult. Temper tantrums can break out at a moment's notice. If you find yourself having to deal with someone acting like a child for the silliest of reasons, you very well might be inspired to take a petty revenge like this person did at the ATM line. 

Movie Plot Holes That Haunt People To This Day


One of the best parts about watching a movie is being able to temporarily step outside whatever's going on in your own life, to get lost in the lives of the characters that you see on the screen. So, if you end up watching a movie that's plagued by numerous or just one gaping plot hole, it can be quite the frustrating, disorienting experience. Some plot holes are just too nonsensical to overlook. Maybe these people's observations about plot holes they can't get over to this day will resonate with you. 

Tumblr Thread: A Wholesome And Hilarious Dad


This is one lucky baby. Some dads in this world are funnier than others. It sounds like this dad has a phenomenal sense of humor and is ready to embrace the lifetime journey that is fatherhood. You could say his dadness is off the charts. If this Tumblr thread got you going check out this collection of dad jokes that are perfect for everyone's inner father figure

Misfortune Monday: The World Keeps On Turnin'


The world is a merciless place filled with chaos and misfortune of all stripes. It's almost not even worth it thinking about what could go wrong, just because so much can go wrong. Worried your dog will escape your fence? Well he's already chewed up your shoes. Afraid your car will get towed in that iffy spot? Well it's been crushed by a tree. It's clear that in life, things just keep happening and we only have a little bit of control over the menagerie of misfortune that might befall us.

Grossest Things People Ate To Be Polite

Maybe these insights will take you on a trip down memory lane to an experience of your own. 

Mistaken People Who Missed The Joke By Miles


The problem with communicating over the internet is that there's a whole lot of room for misinterpretation. Plus, there's a whole lot of access to dumb people. Those two factors mean that there's a whole lot of people who miss jokes by light-years. Does it feel good to get a joke someone else didn't get? Yeah. Is it also disappointing to see someone aggressively not get the joke? Also yeah.

Entitled Mom Ends Engagement And Gets Banned From Restaurant


You just never know if you're going to end up in the crossfires of a terribly entitled parent. This mom sounds like she was a whole handful.

Gluten Free Vegan Plus One Wants Wedding Catered To Her


In our world of diversifying diets, we find ourselves in awkward situations over people's dietary restrictions, or even just points they're trying to make.

The enduring fact seems to be that if you're a guest and getting a free meal, you're going to find your options limited.

Influencer Karen Demands Free Food In Exchange For Fame


Man, oh, man, our hearts go out to any hard working employees that have to deal with these levels of hostile entitlement.

This Karen was in way over her head from the start. 

Stupid Design Failures That Deserve Criticism


No matter how confident you are, it's always a good idea to get a second eyes on a project. "Hey, what's with this stairway to nowhere" they might say. Or "did you realize that when your van door slides open it condenses Butter Salesman into Butt Man." There are more stupid design failures out there than you could shake a stick at, and even that stick might have some fatal flaws. These design failures deserve some blame.

Entitled Neighbor Expects Tree Removal For Better View

Some people refuse to take the hints that are so graciously provided them.

Oh boy, buckle up for a little trouble in lover's paradise. Marriage basically inevitably comes with its series of hurdles. Some of those might seem more insurmountable than others at times. With that being said, this husband really went and stirred up the pot when he decided to eat his kid's special candy. Queue his wife having a bit of a meltdown over the matter. You be the judge though, was dad in the wrong for his decision to insensitively cave into his sweet tooth? 

Staff Sergeant Supervisor Gets Caught Lying About Doing His Job


Is there a better feeling than catching your supervisor in a lie? Yes, when it's in writing.

Interesting things happen when there's a strict chain of command, like this military wife Karen who demanded salutes and ended up getting mocked.

"Not My Job" Moments Of Unprofessional Failure


Sure, doing your job the right way is fine and all, but you save some much time and energy by doing things completely improperly.

These "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism are making it easier for some of us.

Couple Sleeps With Bedroom Window Open, Horrific Awakening Ensues


Anyone who has ever lived on a ground floor apartment knows that the idea of keeping one's window open to all that might be passing by is a bit of a risky endeavor.

Parents and Their "I Just Looked Away For a Second" Moments

Get some more choosing beggar drama with this absurd lying stranger who wouldn't pay for a rug, and thought they won

Restaurant Fails To Account For Customer's Food Allergy, Customer Doesn't Pay For Burger


Food allergies are no joke. With that being said, if a restaurant fails to make good on an order from a customer who specifically asks for certain problem ingredients to be left out, it could be viewed as fair for them to send the order back. As long as the sending of the order back is being handled in a fair, respectful matter it shouldn't be too big of a problem at all. So, this customer asked for a new burger, the restaurant refused, and then the customer decided to only leave enough money for their drink. Some folks in the comments section are in agreement that that was a reasonable move to make.

Creepy and Imposing Signs That Aren't Messing Around


They say what you don't know can't hurt you. The "they" in that phrase seems not to have ever heard about dangerous heavy equipment, poisonous trees, and looming monkey attacks. These creepy signs make their message clear about what's coming for whom, and that's probably a good thing. Even though these terrifying signs speak the language of fear, they're still trying to tell us something, and that's better than nothing.
