Is this heartwarming? Or is this a sign of "them kids not knowin which way is up or down with them their noses buried into them cell phones all day?" Eh, maybe it's in between. What it is is Bo Jackson, the only athlete to ever be an all star in both baseball and football, politely explaining his immense sports prowess to a kid who doesn't seem to realize the gravity of the moment he finds himself in. But hey, most people don't have a clue who Jim Thorpe is, so who are we to judge.
So, it's pretty much a fact that this might be the best candy in the dang world. Anyone who has ever messed with the sour Altoids knows that they're on a level of their own. The fact that this guy is bringing back the infamous Altoids Tangerine sour candies is quite exciting.
Just imagining a scenario where you're forced to make a landing in the middle of a crowded road would be enough to bring a whole lot of people's brains into a panic. However, it's clear that this pilot's operating on a different level. Maybe after enough training you can just sink into a stress free automated existence where you don't think twice about the implications of not nailing a landing on a crowded road.
At this point, adults can eat whatever they want and as long as they don't try to get in other people's faces over it, no harm no foul. There are a surprising amount of situations where people decide to be unreasonable about other people's diets, like this Vegan employee who suggested a coworker eat their burger outside or this vegan who demanded a fellow wedding guest's vegan meal. It goes every which way, like this uncle who demanded a meat meal at a vegan wedding or this irrational neighbor who demanded nutless baklava.
Don't these people have work to do?
Unfortunately, far too many of us have found ourselves miserably entrenched in a gig that we absolutely can't stand. Maybe you missed the red flags that were so darn hidden when you went to interview for the job. And then suddenly, you've found yourself in the middle of a job with a waking nightmare of a manager. Hopefully these people's stories serve to make you feel a bit better about your own low points during your various jobs.
Man, it sounds like this customer is being just a tad bit unreasonable in terms of exercising some understanding over the fact that yes, humans are perpetually prone toward make errors. It's part of life. Spills happen. For whatever reason this customer decided that the overworked waitress mistakenly spilling wine on their jacket warranted a skip on the tip. Well, it's no surprise that folks in the comments section didn't take too kindly to that route.
There's nothing quite like a tadpole bigger than a 12 oz can of soda to really drive home the "wow factor" of how large absolute units can get. And just about anything can become an absolute unit, a sultan of circumference. There are big vegetables, big tools, big animals and big everything. For anything that exists, there's an absolute unit of it, and that's a beautiful thing.
You've got to hand it to the world's lot of individuals that are working in the realm of tech support. They regularly deal with all kinds of impossibly clueless and sometimes even belligerent individuals. Seriously. It's out of control. This particularly lovely customer demanded that a company grant her access to a product that they didn't even sell in the first place. Yeah, kind of hard to troubleshoot that "issue."
The thing about Karens is that sometimes their self-centeredness bleeds into their ability to care for animals, like these fish that you really hope find a better home. Fine, have your standards about not wanting to give something to a "greedy" person, but dang lady, they're living things. This is why we can't have nice things. It's kind of like the time this pet store employee had to stop a Karen from torturing a starfish, or this influencer who left a fake review for stables and got decimated. Even if she doesn't learn her lesson, at least she won't be in the care of fish anymore.
Every relationship is different, but if meeting a new person results in any combination of "impossible to talk to," "lies a lot" or "smells bad" than that's gonna be a deal breaker, honey. We all have a limited time on this planet, and spending that time in stony silence or screaming rage with a person you're supposed to like isn't exactly an awesome use of that time. For some times people figured it out right away, here are first dates that made people go "screw this, I'm out."
Family photos can be an especially strange matter. Some folks really get in to making a whole tradition out of the dang thing. It sounds like this guy and his family have a potentially well founded superstition that's rooted in the belief that one's significant other can't be in the family photo unless the relationship's surpassed a year. Otherwise, apparently everything goes to sh*t.
It's unclear how anyone's life could be so devoid of joy that they'd go out of their way to rat out their coworker's for total non-issues, but for some reason every office has got a Mindy. Luckily this employee was able to twist things to make the rules work for them in a classic move of malicious compliance. For some more modern work dramas, here are some horrible coworkers people had to endure as well as wild employee complaints that turned out to be legit.
Love is a crazy thing. It can come for you when you're least expecting it. Sometimes, when you're literally proactively avoiding someone. Yet, somehow that person who once drove you to the other side of the room from them ends up finding themselves in your good graces. It's a quirky little Twitter thread like the one we have here that can definitely serve as a testament that romance isn't completely dead altogether.
Lawyers spent a whole lot of time burying their brains in impossibly dense books while navigating tumultuous seas of awful stress to get themselves to a place where they occasionally end up having to work cases involving people that have lost their ways in the most absurd of ways. Maybe these ridiculous cases that lawyers ended up fielding will manage to (further) convince you that the living life of a lawyer is not the one that you want to lead. For some more absurdity from the courtroom check out this Tumblr thread about ridiculous overheards during court proceedings.
Seagulls tend to find themselves in inappropriate places, whether it's a hotel room or in someone's face on a slingshot ride. Let's not act like they're the gentlemen of the sky. At least this bank employee was able to muster the courage and deposit this dude outside. Now he's free to live out his days outside of the bank. Unlike the bank employees, sadly.
Charlotte Magician Chris Hannibal really knows how to take his audience for a ride. As a viewer you very well might find yourself in the commonly shared boat of assuming that you know exactly what this guy's about, until he pulls the rug from right under your presumptuous brain. Seriously, impressive stuff.
It appears that after some tough negotiating Aaron Rodgers is set to lead the Green Bay Packers into another season, yet again. He was able to get his contract reworked so that he has the flexibility to leave the team after this year. Even though the negotiation came to a pleasant enough end, it didn't stop Rodgers from giving the owners of the Green Bay Packers a piece of his mind.
The world's just never going to run out of crazily entitled people that expect all the free handouts. To stage a temper tantrum in a place like a nail salon where people are literally taking time out of their days to go and relax is about as inconsiderate as it gets. Especially when you consider the context of this situation where it was going to be this woman's fourth free nail fix. Shoutout to TikToker @blowfish76 for capturing the rather nasty moment.
Anyone who is able to spice up the workplace by not taking the job too seriously, while still getting the work done, and generally uplifting everyone's spirits is a welcomed addition to a team. It sounds like this barista is just the kind of person that you'll look forward to going to work with. At this point, I just want to read more of their names for other popular espresso drinks. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about an Ultima Online player who unleashed a nuclear revenge as a tavern owner on an unsuspecting town.
From running up the tab to being a belly button freak, people find themselves dating some people they wished they'd never met. When you get to the restaurant and realize the person looks like the Dr. Jekyll version of themselves from their profile pic, then they start rattling off statistics about war criminals without so much as a how-do-you-do, it might be one of those first dates where people said "screw this I'm out."
Everyone leads their own life, with their own desires, needs, and ideas as to how to get those things. Most of us try to build relationships, work hard in order to make valuable exchanges, or at least ask politely. But not entitled people and Karens of the world. They'll just try to bully people, dress them down, lie and make unreasonable demands. Or they'll try to leave a bad review, like this entitled customer who threatened a tattoo parlor with a nasty review but got beaten to it. And then there are moments of total cluelessness, like these obnoxious things American tourists did.
Nothing can bring one's blood to a boil like realizing that you're working alongside someone who keeps themselves busy at work by meddling in the very affairs that are certainly not their affairs to meddle with, in the first place. It sounds like this employee had a particularly nosey manager on their hands who was definitely overreaching. Well, all that funny business certainly came back to bite them in the end. For another recent pro revenge tale check out the time that a greedy landlord raised the rent so that a tenant wouldn't renew their lease, and then how he ended up getting exactly what he deserved.
It's important that we know history, so that when it repeats itself we can all stand there and go "told you so" as we're being led in shackles as the new manservant to the Godking of the New Empire of Delaware. So here are the history memes for the enlightened lords of time. Feed those hungry brains with semi-relevant knowledge through easy-to-read history memes.
There's something about cursed foods that are really hard to look at. Maybe the sloppiness of it all just feels violent. Maybe the thought of a Lego and mayonnaise sandwich sliding down our throats is too much to think about. Misplaced and cursed food is just uncomfortable. For some extra intrigue, here's a twitter thread about a guy opening a wildly corroded can of Chef Boyardee.
Unfortunately, this world's not going to run out of wildly entitled customers anytime soon. To work in a customer service job is to basically put yourself on the frontlines of having to deal with delusional, cheap, psychotically inconsiderate individuals that expect their demands to be met no matter how obvious it is that they deserve complete rejection. Check out some more entitled people and total Karens who graced the world with their audacious behavior over here.
The key to enjoying this immensely satisfying tale of pro revenge is to read it in an Australian accent (or your best crack at it). Once you've checked that box off, it's time to dive on into yet another tale of revenge where a landlord gets too big for his britches, and then it ends up completely blowing up in his face. It honestly sounds like things couldn't have gone worse for this guy. And it also sounds like he deserves it. For another dramatic revenge tale involving a shady landlord check out the time that a landlord tried to backtrack on returning a deposit, until karma came right back around to collect.
As highly impressionable people, we can't help but see the personality in inanimate objects. Whether it's a rock that looks like goblin, a stop sign that looks really surprised, or just a nonplussed lemon, there's no way we can't see faces in random things. And it's not just limited to faces. There are characters, logos, and whole flippin' dragons just hanging out as inanimate objects that look like other stuff.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but when they said that they didn't mean "absence of sympathy for fellow humans." When this guy found out he was engaged to the kind of person who was miserable to servers, he did what he had to do. For more intense Karen moments, here's a craigslist ad for a date with a Karen as well as an Influencer Karen who left a fake review for Stables and got decimated by the owner's response.
It can't possibly be fun to be in a vehicle while tons of snow and ice try to push you off the road, but that's exactly the situation these guys found themselves on a highway in Northern India. It's a real "you shall not pass" moment from mother nature and a reminder that if the elements decide to do literally anything, you're not going to be able to stop it. This isn't even that big. It's just strangely personal.
Amidst our constant pursuit to chase down the world's most notable fails and other dramatic stories, we can easily forget that there's still a little bit of wholesome drifting around the atmosphere. It's always nice to throw it back to this video where a group of NYC subway riders took it upon themselves to throw a surprise for some hard working conductors. The conductors' reactions to the various signs say it all.
