Ruthless Times People Were Decommissioned By Spicy Insults

Since the internet's been around we've had irrationally emboldened folks diving into the comments section to drop nuggets of pure, dizzying ignorance. Sometimes, other folks hit their breaking points. When those moments occur, people have a tendency to get absolutely crushed by the power of words. We definitely appreciate the spicy silvertongues that go the extra mile when it comes to being extra creative with their insults. Maybe this series of times that people got KO'ed by words will inspire you to unleash destruction of your own in the next YouTube comments section. 

Guy Defeats Dumb Locked Gate Policy With Well-Timed Fishing Trip

In our own lives, we find ourselves in inconvenient petty struggles that take up way too much of our time. While these challenges are cosmically small, they can grow to inconvenience our personal lives and become intolerable, forcing us to become creative problem solvers. For example, here's a dad who designed a masterful basketball hoop loophole and a guy who battled an unreasonable store owner who wouldn't update his phone number.

Morons Who Shouldn't Be Allowed To Drive

Sometimes people don't seem to understand that driving is a cooperative event. That means risky maneuvers like strapping a literal ton of garbage to the roof of your car or dangling a dryer out the back while pushing 70 down the freeway isn't exactly the best way to inspire confidence in the drivers around you. We get to see enough unsafe maneuvers at work, it just so happens people are compelled to do dumb crap on their commute too.

Company Continually Demands Password, Tech Support Says No, Wild Revelation Ensues

Hopefully at least someone involved in these wild series of conversations felt nothing short of immense gratitude over the fact that their business wasn't completely destroyed by a user that had the wherewithal to try out the password assigned to every user. It sounds like the company got by purely because nobody ever honestly thought that the password could be so obvious. Somehow, that whole approach to security seems like it can work sometimes. Just a bit of a gamble. For another ridiculous tech support tale check out the time that a customer thought that the internet runs on magic. 

Design Failures That Could Have Been Avoided

Graphic design, font choice and building decisions seem simple enough in our heads, but they come with pitfalls in practice. Design failures are all around us. One slip of the font can turn a fortress into a fartress or a public area into a pubic one. The architects of these design failures could use a little bit of blame. Of course, for the rest of us they just make life more fun and interesting.

Glitch In The Matrix Moments

There's nothing quite like a fresh batch of glitch in the matrix moments to send you off on a disorienting reality trip where you might be left with your head in your hands, shakily wondering whether or not this is some grand simulation. Well, simulation or not we've still got to play the game. If it were a simulation, it's kind of "nice" to know that whoever/whatever is running said simulation is also prone to fails just like the rest of us measly human beings. 

"Not My Job" Moments of Unprofessional Construction

It should come as no surprise that building stuff is hard. Or at least there are a whole lot of wrong ways to do it. Those ways reveal themselves in "not my job" moments of incompetent construction. How hard is it to build a functional set of stairs, do proper electrical or put in a window? These people wouldn't know because it's not their job.

Tenant Puts Divider On Balcony, Talkative Neighbors Take Offense

There's something about the talkative people in this world, where when they're told to give all the blabbering a rest by the ones that are tired of listening, they can tend to get pretty offended. In this particular scenario it sounds like the chatty albeit friendly neighbors next door were not going to stop with their constant chatter anytime soon. It seems like the tenant who had exhausted their willingness to listen anymore wasn't really left with any other options. And then when they do exercise control over what they can actually control, their neighbors insist on being especially aggressive. Not cool, man. 

Former Landlord Tells Lies To Keep Deposit, Gets Reported To IRS For Tax Fraud

It seems as if the world's never going to run out of slimy landlords that are all trying to pull fast ones on tenants that they vastly underestimate. In this case, good on the tenant for sniffing out the landlord's shady intentions pretty much from the get-go. It sounds like the landlord really did himself in when it was all said and done. Generally, it's only a matter of time before the world's sketchy landlords end up hitting their own self-destruct buttons. For some more juicy landlord drama check out this landlord who refused to return a deposit, got taken to court, appealed that, and then lost everything.

Tryhard Behavior That Makes People Look Worse

Unfortunately, we've all come across folks that insist on putting out all kinds of tryhard energy that only ends up making them look worse when it's all said and done. For instance, the folks that try to gain the favor of the rest of the group by putting down any oddballs that might be around. It's like they're so clueless that they went ahead and believed that the popular bully in a throwback film that got popular through being an insufferable prick was an acceptable representation of how to carry yourself as a human being. Um, no. Not at all. 

Tumblr Expounds On The Meat-Eating Nature of Plants

Sure, some trees look like they're eating stuff, but it should be noted that trees themselves are low key monsters. Trees suck nutrients out of whatever organic matter they can get their roots on, so it stands to reason that they have the option to wake up and choose violence. The things don't even have real feelings, thank god they can't chase us down. Quickly, that is.

Guy Demonstrates Reason To Not Eat Orange Next To Balloon

Who would've known that oranges and balloons could create such destruction? Apparently they're anything but a match made in heaven. 

Boss Accuses Ex-Employee Of Reporting Him, Actually Gets Reported

Nothing quite melts our icy hearts like seeing a tyrannical boss end up serving themselves ultimate destruction. In the case of this boss, it sounds like he very well might've gotten away with all of his shady antics if he simply didn't go stirring up trouble where there was originally none to be had. 

Ronaldo Replaces Coke Bottles With Water

Clearly, it's because he's such a health nut. Also though, no free plugs. Shoutout to Ronaldo as well for summoning that look of pure and sobering loathing on his face when he noticed those Coke bottles. 

Magnet Pulls Off Guy's Magnetic Face Mask

Beauty product makers love to make all sorts of dubious promises regarding the alchemical properties of their pastes and creams, so it's nice to see one that does at least a little bit of what it says it does. Will an iron based cream pull the "toxins" out of your pores? Who knows. Can you pull it off with a magnet? Hell yeah.

Weather Man Gets Pranked, Takes It Like A Champ

Our hearts go out to the Hugh(s) that were watching this live broadcast. With that being said, the weather man handled the prank like a champion. His reaction was nothing but wholesome. He had just the kind of infectious laughter that gets the rest of the room going. 

Customer Demands "Plain" Omelette, Furious It Is Just Eggs

Everyone in the service industry has at one point had to deal with ridiculous customer demands. Whether that's demanding exactly a pound of wings and getting less wings or rudely demanding no ice and getting less than that, clueless customers have a virtuosic way of asking for something stupid or impossible, then being furious after getting what they want.

Proof Kids Are Dumb As Rocks And Weird As Heck

If you knew anyone who did even one thing an 8 year old does on a regular basis, you'd kick them out of your friend group instantly. A grown man who thirsts for bleach and poops his pants when he doesn't get mac and cheese? It's no wonder "childish" is an insult for adults. Kids are just weird and dumb people. We know, because we remember.

Tumblr User Turns Unleashes Incredible Hulk Rage Over Burrito

There are people in this world that absolutely aren't playing around when it comes to their burritos. This Tumblr user's fiery rant about their experience with a burrito that definitely didn't live up to their standards is one for the books. It sounds like the thing was an unacceptable mess in their eyes. Hopefully whoever was responsible for putting together the burrito in the first place never comes across this biblical verbal takedown. 

People's Weirdest Family Traits

There are a few ways to interpret the intriguing genetic diversity of human beings. One way is to look in awe at the limitless possibilities of our own twisting evolutionary path. The other way is to look in shame at our own genetic dead-end bodies, every day becoming more self-conscious about our weird nostrils and non-matching feet. But in the end, genetic variation is a good thing for survival and who knows, maybe the next great step in human evolution will be having a slightly longer big toe that helps us run away from the murder-bots or something. At least we can look at our grandparents for comparison like this tumblr user looks at their ageless matriarch.

Dad Jokes That Took Things Father Than Ever

Dad jokes. Are the good? Are they funny even in the slightest? Do they have literally any value whatsoever? Dads sure seem to think so. The torrent of dumb puns and literalisms spilling forth from a dad when he's really on fire is something to behold. Again, not something exactly great to behold. But definitely something to behold.

Strangest And Scariest Things People Have Seen At Night

Nighttime has an uncanny knack for making a whole lot of everyday things seem exponentially creepier than if you'd simply seen them when it's light out. Our nerves can tend to be on edge when we're situated somewhere between the land of dreams and the waking state. With all of that being said, there's no getting around the fact that having a bear cruise up to your tent to press its nose up against your humble abode would be just a bit off-putting. 

Tacky Restaurant Gets Wrecked Over Abrasive Flyer

Whoever was put in charge of this restaurant's social media account clearly has some learning to do. They completely failed to deescalate the situation, and instead only ended up making themselves look a whole lot worse. They really should've expected nothing less after posting a pretty aggressive flyer. We're just grateful that the comments section delivered some sweet and satisfying gems. 

Restaurant Messes Up Woman's Meal Twice, She Sends It Back, Gets Guilt Tripped

From the get-go it sounds like this woman was committed to being a mindful and reasonable customer. The restaurant failed to serve her meal as she asked for it twice. Even with that going on, she exercised patience and understanding. After all of that though, her friends then have the audacity to send her on a guilt trip over the fact that she didn't eat the meal that had meat in it. On top of that, they give her a hard time over the 20% tip that she left. 

Tumblr Thread: When In Doubt Ask The World's Craftspeople

We love an educational post from Tumblr every now and again. In this case we have a wonderful Tumblr thread that pays homage to the world's craftspeople. You know, the people that gained their expertise through firsthand experience, and not necessarily what you can learn within the rigid confines of a textbook. This Tumblr thread might inspire you to reach out to those folks in your life that gained their wisdom through actual life experiences, and not what they picked up in the world of academia. For some more fun from Tumblr check out this thread about the ageless matriarch that is Mamaw. She's a gem that must be protected at all costs. 

Twitter Thread: Best And Worst Advice That Dads Gave

With Father's Day right around the corner Jimmy Fallon decided to start up a Twitter thread that has people sharing the very best and absolute worst advice that they ever received from their dads. Even when the intentions are pure, sometimes the advice ends up being anything but good. Maybe some of these dads were just kidding around. You know, like they could've been telling their own kinds of dad jokes that just ended up completely missing their mark. Speaking of dad jokes, check out these punny dad jokes that outpunned themselves. 

Restaurant Owner Has Special Wing Sauce Just For The Complainers

There's always gonna be someone who says a thing isn't spicy enough. So why not give them an opportunity to fly too close to the sun and get burned? Some customers will stand by their bad decisions, like this customer who demanded an extra hot tea and actually accepted it. But sometimes customers are so rude with their demands that they get the royal treatment like this rude gentleman who demanded no ice and got less than that.

Guy Demonstrates Reason To Not Try To Crush Obsidian

You can tell that it's about to get very interesting and treacherous when the hydraulic press makes that weird noise, and the obsidian starts to "give." I mean, let's be real: obsidian put up one hell of a fight. 

Opossums That We Weirdly Identify With

Why is it that so many people find opossums so relatable? Is it the fact that they're a sometimes adorable reminder of an ugly world? Maybe it's that in a sense we all feel like we're trashborne. Maybe it's the anachronistic reality of being an ancient, fuzzy, rat-tailed non-racoon with a mouth full of horrible teeth and the reputation of a coward? Who knows, but there's just something about them that says "us."

Tumblr Thread: The Chaotic Evil Architect

Some buildings are horrible to look at and other building decisions are just weird, bad and dumb. And then there's the kind of architecture that can actually destroy things and hurt people. Tumblr gets into the interesting work of Rafael Vinoly. For another story on artists of chaos, here's the story of the world's most hated elitist artist Anish Kapoor and his bean.
