The Worst Houseguests People Have Experienced

We like to think that there's a sort of conduct standard for all houseguests. But it only takes one houseguest to make us realize that it's the jungle out there, baby. And the worst time to realize that people are filthy animals is when that jungle is your home. It's hard to forget a rude and annoying thing a houseguest does, maybe because we feel so disrespected and inconvenienced when someone gleefully brings their crap personality into our private lives. Also, it doesn't help when someone leaves after cracking your toilet in half like they're the King Solomon of pooping.

History Memes For The Historically Inclined

Those who don't know history are doomed to not understand dank history memes. So open a book, watch a documentary and scour Wikipedia if not only for the purpose of getting these sweet history memes for the ages. There's nothing more rewarding than knowing exactly why the Dutch spent so much on tulips, except maybe most things. With any luck we can use history memes to become one with time.

AskReddit Thread: People's Comebacks After Failing At Their Dream Jobs

You probably know someone in your inner circle who is extremely hard on themselves. Some people were just conditioned from a young age to despise and fear failure to such an extent that it only ended up creating for trouble for them down the road. All that stress isn't good for anyone. So, it's nice to have threads like the one we have here, where you're able to read up on the times that people were able to bounce back after completely wiping out at their dream jobs. 

Safety-Failures That Would Make OSHA Weep

Physical work can place us in some compromising positions. It's probably not worth it to straddle two ladders in the wind or pull some OSHA-defying boldness just so you can finish a job 20 minutes faster, but it's everyone's personal choice to risk your life for a few dollars. What really sucks is when you are aware of basic safety standards and your boss says "listen buddy, we've been storing oily rags next to the fritzy boiler for years, so quit being a pansy. Now grease up your hands and plunge them into the crusher." So here's to misguided safety failures that OSHA would disapprove of. 

Landlord Refuses To Return Deposit, Gets Taken To Court, Appeals, Loses Everything

This isn't the first time we've come across a rather gnarly landlord situation, and we're sure that it won't be the last time. There's something about far too many landlords in this world that ends up involving them getting all kinds of greedy. It's as if they make this sweeping assumption that their tenants don't know their rights, and won't do the necessary homework to ensure that those rights are upheld. Well, this tale of pro revenge that involves a landlord definitely has a happy ending. We love to see it. 

In-Laws Want To Know Man's Income, He Calls Them Gold Diggers

Some people really don't like to talk about their finances. Other people fail to pick up on those social cues when they're glaringly present. Hence, an environment that'd otherwise be nice and peaceful can quickly give way to a spicy situation like the one we have here. Were there other potentially more amicable ways that this guy could've addressed his in-laws aggressive nosiness? Sure. But even then, it was pretty bold on their part, and it seems like most of the moral judges back in the comments section were in agreement that he wasn't in the wrong for snapping back at them. 

Funny and Delectable Tumblr Gems To Quench The Forever Thirst

At the end of the day, what do we really thrive on? Well sure, food and shelter. But after that, what is at the top of our hierarchy of needs? Self actualization? Getting to sit in the good chair? Filthy T-shirts? Maybe what we truly crave is humorous observations in the form of hilarious and totally random tumblr gems. What's nicer than crude deconstructions of societal norms and self indulgent pop culture references? Who knows, we don't have time because we're too busy looking at tumblr gems uncovered from the deep.

Weird and Terrifying Images To Feel Uncomfortable About

They say that fear is the oldest feeling there is. They probably didn't have decaying puppets or underwater clowns in the dawn of man, but holy hell do they do the job. On second thought, maybe primordial clowns came from the sea just like us? Long, wet clowns with gills that honked. Maybe it's best not to think about it. From the world's cursed images to the necessary but ominous signs we use to warn each other of real danger, there's some spooky crap out there, man.

Choosing Beggar Wants iPad For $40 And Free Delivery

Man, these kind of interactions between the choosing beggars of the world and the sane individuals just trying to make a buck without dealing with full on delusional fools really sap our faith in humanity. This choosing beggar really needs to reassess their approach to life. 

Check out another case of a particularly gnarly choosing beggar who expected to pay for a painting with a prayer.

Entitled Boyfriend Starts Eating Birthday Cake Before Party Even Happens

It doesn't really matter what your personal beliefs about birthdays are, you don't exactly get to dictate other people's values after taking their stuff. Also, it's pretty safe to assume that eating a piece out of a kid's birthday cake before the candles go on isn't going to be taken as a minor inconvenience. Cake drama is real, like this entitled coworker who demanded a cake and issued threats, or this one pound cake Karen who was furious after getting what she wanted.

Meals People Made With Hatred, Not Love

It's a totally ubiquitous thing to say. "Why is this lasagna so good? Well of course, it's made with love." Well sometimes food is not made with love. Sometimes cursed food abominations make it obvious that there was something else in there. It stands to reason that if love can exist as an ingredient, hatred must exist as well. Sometimes it's a combination of apathy and incompetence in the case of horrible things people ate out of politeness, but other times, all it takes is a tablespoon of hatred.

Facepalm Moments Of Profound Dumbitude

It's really easy to think that people are smart and responsible in general. But the more people you meet, the more you realize that we're barely holding it together. Life is just brimming with facepalms deep fried in stupidity. It's an absolute miracle that most of us can manage to hold down a job, feed ourselves, and not just sit around all day hitting ourselves with hammers. So go on and expose yourself to the gamma rays of facepalming, mystifying dumbness.

Power-Tripping Manager Tells Employee To Not Do Their Job, Backfires Terribly

It's a wonder that some people are put into the positions of power that they are in the first place. Fortunately, the pattern seems to be consistent in that they don't last long in their roles of authority. At one point or another the incompetence ends up creating such chaos and destruction that the businesses have to let them go. It sounds like this particular manager was just biding their time until they ended up failing so hard that the only acceptable outcome would be their righteous termination. For some more juicy malicious compliance drama check out the story about this woman who claimed she was on a salt-free diet, and then got exposed. 

Entitled Coworker Demands Free Cake, Gets Denied, Issues Threats

It's hard to fully digest the fact that these kinds of people actually exist. You've got to wonder where all the dizzying entitlement really took root. Was it nurtured from a young age, or did it present its ugly face sometime later in life? In the case of this employee, it seems like it's a bit of a lose-lose situation based off their impossibly testy and disrespectful attitude. And then the fact that they have the audacity to issue threats at the end there. Pretty unreal. Check out more entitled people with their fantastical demands over here. 

Worst Business Decisions People Have Ever Seen

Unfortunately a reality of being human is that there will come various times when your judgment is seemingly chucked right out the window. Hopefully, when this happens you don't find yourself in a position of power where you're being held responsible for the very health of a business. Or, maybe if you've already suffered a self-created business blunder of your own, then these fails will make you feel a bit better about whatever cringe from the past keeps you up at night. 

"Not My Job" Moments of Occupational Ineptitude

As human beings, it's our duty to complete our jobs with the absolute minimum in mind. To some degree, we all pride ourselves on looking like we've done our jobs without making our general apathy and unprofessionalism too obvious. That said, we're not perfect and it can show in the form of "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism. But also, it's not like an upside-down stop sign is impossible to read.

AskReddit Thread: Red Flags For Problem Roommates

The last thing that you or anyone else wants to find themselves confronting is the grim realization that the new roommate is a literal waking nightmare. Unfortunately, it seems like so often some of the world's most insufferable human beings are that much better at putting on a whole carefully practiced act when it comes to tricking people into thinking that they're nice human beings. Hopefully this AskReddit thread that's filled with red flags for troublesome roommates will be all the information you ever need to never find yourself in hot water with a nasty roommate. 

Spelling Fails That Gave Words a Hard Time

Ever have a text correspondence with a friend and discover that they think the phrase "dog eat dog world" is pronounced "doggy dog world?" Ever read a comment section and discover that a different friend spells "calamity" as "clam city?" Spelling failures are a lot more common than you'd think. You could chalk it up to poor proofreading or the state of public schools, but the errors will persist. There's no escaping the impressively creative and dumb spelling fails of the world.

Crazy Headwind Has Plane Landing Like A Helicopter

Anyone who's ever ridden on a plane, seen a plane, or even heard about them is probably under the impression that they need a runway or at least some length of space to take off or land. With a strong enough headwind to slow the thing down, that's not always the case. Observe.

Irrational Neighbor Demands Nutless Baklava

Food allergies are nothing to be taken lightly, but at the same time, being allergic to something doesn't mean that the laws of reality can change. It's kinda like the time this person learned that mayo isn't vegan. It seems like this person did their best to provide a delicious alternative, but sometimes it's just impossible to win. Maybe this guy is just trying to cover for himself after wrongfully promising nut free baklava? For another ridiculous food story here's the uncle who demanded a meat meal at a vegan wedding.

Wild Employee Complaints That Turned Out To Be Legit

Every workplace is subject to whispered rumblings about dishonest or prohibitively weird coworkers. Some of these things go unfounded, but more often than not someone is stealing from the till, throwing tantrums in front of customers or just being incalculably anti-social. Some of these horrible coworkers people just have to endure. Some coworkers are so absurdly bad they get fired on the first day.

Highly Literal Moments of Technical Accuracy

We all like to think of ourselves as basically intelligent people. Does that mean that we're completely right about everything all the time? No, not really. We have the capacity to be right about most things, but the reality of knowing things is that it takes a lot of research. Why be totally correct when with a lot less effort we can be technically accurate and not incorrect? Empirical accuracy takes a second seat to the convenience of technically correct cleverness.

Secret Shopper Karen Is Too Much of A Karen, Gets Fired

Working retail comes with a very special set of gripes unlike any other job. The entitled customers, utter Karens and bored scamming shoppers leave retail employees with a hollow dissatisfaction that makes one wonder if there are any sane people left on the planet. Secret or mystery shoppers are one of those interesting speed bumps that you wouldn't think would be infiltrated by the forces of Karenhood, but lo and behold, here we are.

People Explain The Black Markets at Their Schools

It happened all the time. Some kid would start collecting walnuts that fell on school property, or a teacher would ban rubber bands, and all of a sudden there was a new schoolyard black market. It was a confusing, weird and stupid lesson in basic economics. For those aching for simpler times, here are the school memes for the mostly educated.

Food Shop Ghosts Employee, Employee Steals Food Shop's Workforce

Companies that underestimate the lengths to which their employees will go to if they've been the victims of wrongdoing, really bring all the blowback on themselves. It sounds like it was only a matter of time before this food shop got their rightful comeuppance. Good on the employee for sticking it to them like they did. 

Twitter Thread: Guy Details Ridiculous Skyrim Adventures

It's an emotional rollercoaster of a story like the one that we have here that can really encourage someone to try their hand at a video game that they'd otherwise rain check on. Of course, this is Skyrim that we're talking about. If you've ever played Skyrim before you're probably very familiar with the fact that the game can inspire all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. Those side quests are something else, man. 

Craziest Things People Did During Divorces

Love already inspires people to do some truly crazy stuff, but when you factor in what can happen when a once loving relationship runs its course, and divorce ends up being the outcome....oh boy, can things get hairy very quickly. Some folks that have weathered the profound emotional toll that can be muddling through a divorce, just end up completely losing their minds. You can only hope that people don't ultimately take things too far, but that can't necessarily be said for some of the people in this thread. 

Bold and Absurd Bootlegs and Ripoffs

What would the world be without wonderful and absurd knockoffs and off brands? Well, first off there'd be a lot fewer SpongeBob and Elmo-esque piñatas, but otherwise it would be a much more boring place. There'd be no more transforming robot Frozen 2 action figures or "official" Microsoft branded flip flops. Amazing and ridiculous knockoffs make the world go round at a relatively affordable price.

Guy Complains About Utilities Bill, Claims To Not Use Water, Takes Showers

Seriously, what was this guy on about? He goes out of his way to call the collections department at his water company, and then goes on an inspired riff about how he's definitely not using water, but also managed to take showers and use the toilet. Buddy, you did yourself in on whatever money-saving scam that you were trying to carry out, right there. I just wonder what was racing through his mind when he realized (hopefully) that he was not about to get any money knocked off his water bill. 

Considerate USPS Bro Vs Careless FedEx Lady

We've all had bad days where we don't care about our jobs, but that lady really let that package fall with thousand resonations of "I don't give a damn." In what couldn't be better PR for the US Postal Service, we've got a dude who goes out of his way to undo the shoddy work done by his FedEx predecessor and get the other packages out of the rain. Thanks, mail dude.
