In case you ever find yourself suffering through a date that you can't find a good reason to be a part of anymore, then these devilishly inventive ways to ruin a date in under five seconds might come in handy. Sometimes, you just need to hit the eject button on a date as soon as possible for your own good. Are there more graceful ways to go about the process than what we have here? Of course, but to each their own.
Why anyone would go through the effort to re-engineer their 3D printer into a sandwich machine is beyond sense, until of course you see this baby in action. Obviously it would be faster, easier, cheaper and probably tastier to just make it by hand or just buy a sandwich, but then you wouldn't get to say you have a sandwich machine. In a sense, it's 3D printing a sandwich. Not actually, but definitely sort of!
Jack had enough of this customer's rude behavior. So, he enacted a calculated and very satisfying petty revenge. The best part of this petty revenge is the moment that the customer goes to another store, and realizes their card isn't going to work there either. They underestimated Jack's capacity for pettiness, and definitely paid the price for that.
Those Sunfishes are something else, man. They look like they're literally not of this dimension. Or like some aliens just dropped them off on planet earth to see how they'd fare. Also, can we take a moment of appreciation for the awesome amount of chill that sunfishes have.
The fact that NBA player, Steven Adams, had the the presence to prioritize the well being of a basketball player on the opposing team instead of scoring is such an awesome reflection of his kind nature. This should be shown to kids learning how to play basketball. We can all get caught up in our respective competitive drives, but if you're able to step outside of that and help people that are about to get injured during a game, you're just crushing it.
This viral video from TikToker @anissialucero shows an IHOP worker out on an adventure to pick up some crucial IHOP breakfast ingredients from a Walmart. The revealing nature of this video left quite a few TikTokers all kinds of emotionally scrambled up. Sometimes, it's best to not learn about the secrets behind your favorite restaurant meals.
Tumblr users apparently have a lot of time on their hands, and they use it for amusingly specific and labor intensive thoughts like the relationship between elves eyes and the curvature of middle earth, or discussing the full versions of classic sayings. We're glad people get so into stuff, like this Tumblr thread that makes history fun.
Sys admins have to put up with all kinds of unnecessary nonsense while on the job. It could be a panicked mom who washed her kid's computer and then didn't understand why it didn't work. Or perhaps, something more outright absurd like what we have here. The dude's Karen coworker spilled a whole ton of water all over some power outlets, and then "didn't understand" how that would manifest in the power being cut out in her work station. Was she just too embarrassed to own up to the truth, or what? That seems like the most believable possibility.
There's nothing quite like that sweet "I told you so feeling" you get when a customer gets exactly what they wanted and learns that they screwed up. It feels good to drink in the visceral feeling of an outsmarted horrible customer. Customers are often wrong, but too few of us don't give a rip, so this kind of interaction is as rare as it is sweet.
Creativity is a good thing, but sometimes our creativity gets in the way of our sense and we end up making impressive creations of questionable taste. And that's not to say this stuff is useless either. People create effective low budget DIY solutions for their problems all the time. It's just that some ideas in practice tend to lack...uh... grace.
When confronted with the issue of people locking themselves out of their apartments on the weekends, this manager wanted to avoid paying overtime by passing the burden onto their own tenants. The policy was unpopular. As it so often happens with incompetent managers, their plan backfired.
Anyone who has ever enduring the profound pain that is a back spasm knows that when those strike, it's no joke. You might find yourself questioning how you're going to come out the other end of the experience alive. A decent back spasm can test you to the very depths of your soul. In this case, it sounds like the back spasm was in a league of its own. Fortunately though, the dude was able to get the medical attention they needed. And hey, they got a great, unforgettable story out of the experience.
You never know when one of these could come in handy. Maybe someone has just drawn a giant wiener on your whiteboard in permanent marker and your boss is coming in. Maybe you're freezing and all you have is a match and a bunch of Fritos and crayons. Life pro tips can come in handy when you least expect. On the other side of things, here are some dumb and bad life pro tips to avoid.
Having a saltwater tank isn't as easy as throwing some salt and water together in a jug like it's Kool-Aid and calling it a day. Karen wasn't having all this "responsible pet owner" talk, so this employee stepped in to show her exactly what she'd need to take care of a starfish. Of course, Karen didn't take kindly to this employee who didn't want her to slowly torture a starfish to death. Will the Karen customersof the world ever learn their lesson? Doubtful.
It's absurd, the things entitled people will demand. Most people have a basically realistic view of the things one should expect another person to go out of the way to do for them, but there are a select few who have no idea. Influencers will leave bad reviews for restaurants that don't give them free food. People will post a job listing for a nanny position and end up not actually paying any money. Customers will get mad that the company they buy stuff from also gives some of their product to charity. It's a wild world out there full of entitled people with their absurd audacity.
Many folks out there have experienced those relationships with partners that felt like they'd be with one another till they took their last breaths on this wild planet. And then, as can happen under the influence of time ceaselessly passing on by, the love that once blared with an unwavering strength for all to see, ends up losing its momentum. Sometimes, people just end up growing apart. That potential future can be a terrifying one to mull over, and this Tumblr user does an awfully effective job at poetically breaking down how love can wither away over time. Just proceed with caution, it might awaken the existential dread.
If you want to pivot into some more humorous, sparkling gems uncovered from the depths of the Tumblr realm check these out.
We don't live in a mathematically perfect world of right angles and whole numbers, and that's a problem. We're human, so off-center imperfections are the name of our game, and getting used to that reality never gets much easier. Just one "not my job" moment is enough to make something not work in a way that frustrates us completely, but there's not much we can do about it.
We've all had our low points. Those moments when judgment was terribly out of reach, and decisions were made, cringeworthy decisions, that go on to haunt us when we're just trying to catch a restful night's sleep. It's terrible how that happens. Maybe these people's moments of notable cringe will make you feel better about your own moments of profound cringe.
Some jobs are more unforgettably terrible than others. You can start up with a new gig that showed all appearances of being nothing short of your dream situation, only to learn that it's actually a waking nightmare, and that the boss is a completely maniacal lunatic. Or, maybe you'll end up dealing with a coworker who has impossibly obnoxious boundary issues. That's why it's key to keep a wary eye out for the red flags before you ever take on a new job. With all that being covered, let's take a look at what people had to say when it came time to share their most notable work horror stories on an emotional rollercoaster of a Twitter thread.
This mom decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not she was in the wrong for enforcing a house rule that prevented her daughter from being able to sleep in the same bed as her partner. It sounds like the daughter didn't take too kindly to this house rule. Shocker. Then the mom insists that she's being punished by her daughter for enforcing a house rule. Honestly, it seems well within her daughter's right to not want to visit the house if she's having to deal with not being able to sleep in the same bed as her partner.
Man oh man, you just never know if your nice little outing at the lake with your significant other is about to be interrupted by quite the intense, entirely surprising helicopter flyby. Could always look at it as a free air show.
It's a whole lot presumptuous for this classmate to insist on a whole new snack day inspired by this person's free donuts, but they seemed to have gotten the picture. For another funny story of someone refusing to be bullied about donuts, here's a new employee who is not having free donut day.
Props to Aaron Rodgers for maintaining his composure and not letting a sly act of trolling get to him. We can only imagine how many nights the memory of that fateful playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has haunted him.
This dude clearly has a firm grasp on taking the time to appreciate the small moments along the road that is one's life journey. Pretty sure nobody is having as much fun on a trampoline as this guy.
Explosive hydroforming is the process of using an explosion to shape metal. The pressure from the explosion in each one of these tanks violently and pretty much instantly turns them into spheres. It's kind of like magic, and it's very fun to watch.
Just picturing the look of pure devastation on Mike's face when he was served that (fake) paternity suit is enough to get the laughs rolling. Goes to show that the devil or saving grace is truly in the details. Gotta feel for Mike's poor mom too that underwent quite the shock upon discovering that paternity suit in his car, when she was cleaning it!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being smart. The world needs smart people. Like a lot. The problem is that dumb people have a tendency to think that they're smart. It could be caused by narcissism. It could be due to the fact that social media gives people a whole lot of space to talk about themselves. Either way these brain tyrants who think they're literal geniuses have a peculiar way of somehow being condescending and stupid at the same time. It's maddening.
When this woman had had enough of her PTA's drama-causing antics she proceeded to infiltrate their system and work her way through the ranks until she was in a place of effective power. From there she showed all that PTA's Karens who the real boss was. Basically, she dissolved the previous team and replaced it with one of her own. Job well done.
There are far too many elements present throughout a movie that can possess the audience with all kinds of unrealistic expectations, or just flat out frustration that life certainly ain't like it's portrayed in the movies. Like the whole waking up with no bedhead situation. Or perhaps the frequent examples of entirely unnecessary self-sacrifice. Maybe you'll resonate with some of these.
Karen should've just told the truth from the start, and also not put so much effort into making her coworker's life on the job, miserable. But no, Karen insisted on maintaining a personal vendetta against her coworker, and also lying about a back injury. Well karma came around to collect in the form of perfect timing. The very coworker she dragged down ended up spotting her at the pool hall that an injured person most certainly wouldn't be frequenting.
