This poor lad flew too close to the sun. Some things just definitely aren't mean to be, man. Carbonated milk is getting far out there. Whatever emotions he has about the concoction are written in pained lines across his haunted face. Maybe he'll start a business. If he opted for Almond Milk that could actually slap.
I mean, maybe he was just having an off day. Maybe he's low key strongly opposed to everything that the tackle machine stands for. Regardless of what was going, that didn't stop the Saints fans from giving their QB Jameis Winston a good verbal poke and jab, here and there.
So, this is exactly how you don't go about ordering extra sauce on your pizza. There are some wildly entitled and downright impatient customers in this world that are all but asking for their rude awakenings. It was only a matter of time before this Karen crossed paths with an employee who wasn't going to put up with any more of her nonsense. Hence, the pizza soup. To keep the malicious compliance train rolling onward, check out this malicious compliance story about a manager who demanded a doctor's note even though it was illegal, and then how the doctor maliciously complied.
It doesn't really matter who's asking. If someone demands that you mule a package for them internationally without letting you see what's inside there, that's just straight up stupid. Sounds like an awesome way to see a jail cell on the other side of the world. For another incredible request, here's the dad who got furious that his son needed permission to hold a gun.
Sure, we could eat burnt toast and hot pockets until we die (sooner than later) but it's also a good idea to know sort of how cooking works if you want to be able to eat well without spending a hundred dollars on carrots. After all this great advice, we can all forget about it and go back to burning our meat to a crisp, forgetting to salt our food, putting our dull knives in the sink and grabbing hot pans with sopping wet towels. Here's some more cooking tips chefs shared with the masses.
Laughably entitled people can be found at every level of society, and it's never a party to deal with. Whether it's a snooty Karen who is distraught about having to share a room with the middle class, or an entitled dad who is furious that his son needs permission to hold a gun, it's all over the place. Even overseas, there are some obnoxious things done by American tourists that people have a hard time forgetting.
Call it whatever you want. Empathy, pattern seeking behavior, or just looking for faces in random stuff. It's really easy for us to see inanimate objects and imagine that they have personality. Maybe it's because a face is as simple as two eyes and a mouth? If so, then why can we tell exactly how scared that couch is? Inanimate objects just look like other stuff sometimes.
Seriously, this senior dev's wildly clueless CEO sounds like a real life version of Michael Scott from "The Office." Anyone who has ever worked beneath a manager/boss who never should've been put in the position of power that they found themselves in in the first place knows that weathering that existence can be nothing short of a soul-grinding affair. If this tech support tale of two idiots got you going check out another tech support tale about Karen demanding access to a product that a company didn't sell, and then the tech support fiasco that ensued.
The thing to remember about life is that chaos is inevitable. Sure, we can try to minimize our screwups, but every successful venture incurs a debt to the Gods of Chaos. And we can never be sure when it will be their time to collect in the form of blunders, goofs, mistakes and failures. For some semi-regular failure, chaos and mayhem, check out Misfortune Monday, every other Monday.
Living at home with your parents can become exceedingly difficult as you grow older. Not always, but sometimes. For some folks it could just be a natural progression of things. With age can come the building desire for more freedom from your parents demands. Especially when those demands are more appropriate to ask of your much younger self. Certain age milestones should absolutely guarantee new privileges. It sounds like this guy's mom missed the boat on all of that. Instead, she goes so far as to call the poor guy's boss when he shows up a couple hours late at home. Like, come on, mom.
It's a pro revenge story like this that manages to temporarily restore our faith in humanity, folks. You have what sounds like a phenomenal manager who possessed such great leadership qualities that they were able to swiftly hire their whole old sales team after they endured a rather nasty development. We just want to hear about the fallout from this one for the other nasty manager. The look on their face would surely be priceless. For another pro revenge tale, check out the time that the city gave a guy trouble over his property line, so he went ahead and built a revenge bar.
This is just the kind of collection of mildly infuriating images that can bring a perfectionist right to the brink of insanity. Seriously, these aren't to be taken lightly. If you're at all in the throes of a decent enough mood, just let this list slowly chip away at all of that optimism and that sunny disposition.
This isn't the first time that we've encountered a tale centered on an entitled client that simply wouldn't take the kindhearted advice being passed their way, and we highly doubt it'll be the last time. Honestly, it sounds like it was only a matter of time before this client got the rude awakening that they definitely had coming their way. For some more ridiculous customer service drama check out the time that a man assumed that a literal fire was a feature of his computer. Yep, these people exist.
Someone get this cat set up with a contract. Seriously though, it doesn't get much more New York than this. Just a stray cat prowling around Yankee Stadium, doing its thing, trying to catch the eye of a coach that might give them a shot at the big leagues.
It's one thing to accidentally let your car roll into a lake. It's a whole other thing to immortalize your own incompetence in front of thousands of people due to a chance encounter with a live camera feed. Also, god damn do trucks sink fast or what?
Tornados are just one of those spectacles created by nature that can render us speechless, and generally paralyzed with fear. They completely consume the environment and throw everything into terrifying chaos. This driver however seems like they were kind of chilling with the whole formidable development.
There are certain things in this life that are very well worth getting fired up over. Maybe someone has the careless audacity to cut you in line at a crowded bar. Maybe someone makes a nasty remark to an employee who was just trying to make it through their shift with no drama. But to go ahead and have a full on temper tantrum over a pizza shop's pricing that involves literally 37 cents...well that right there is very far outside the bounds of what's reasonable, Karen.
Dating can be an emotional rollercoaster. Especially nowadays with the wealth of dating apps available at your disposal, it's just hard to know whether or not you're going to end up seated across the table from someone who is absolutely nothing like the person they portrayed themselves as in their bio. Really the best course of action if one ever catches themselves in that kind of extreme scenario is to break out the best possible excuse to immediately bail from the rapidly devolving scene. Anyways, the cringe was laid on extra thick in these bizarre utterances from people that didn't exactly carry out their best dates.
There are a fair number of parents that might find themselves inspired after reading through this quick yet highly entertaining Tumblr post about how a mom went about handling her kids' engrained needs for healthy and effective coping skills. Basically, nature is where it's at. If only nature was as accessible to all of us as it was for this family. Maybe there's some way to put a fun and creative urban twist on this mom's approach though. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread where Tumblr users deconstruct the conspiracy behind Poké Balls.
We've all had some bad houseguests and minor problems with family, but to have someone insist that you're parenting incorrectly, throw away all your expensive baby stuff, then complain that they can't afford to replace it? That's some wild entitlement right there. For another fun one, here's a woman who stole what she thought was a pregnancy test, announced her pregnancy, and was wrong.
This should be a question they use for job interviews. No more of that "where do you see yourself in 5 years" garbage. It should be "how far from the snail do you see yourself in a millennia?" Of course, the real answer might be another question along the lines of "what's a snail gonna do with a million dollars?" If only we could apply this much energy and creativity to problems in our own lives. For some more impressive moments of creativity, here are stupid items Dungeons and Dragons players exploited to their limits as well as a wholesome story about a grandma who summons a demon.
We don't want scammers to be better at what they do, but holy crap these guys are really bad at their jobs. It's a definite social good that these scammers are horrible at it, but still, it's almost sad. For more fun with scammers, here's a scammer who pretended to be a man's neighbor and another scammer who got a taste of their own medicine.
Crooked contractors can be a real handful. There are plenty of people out there in this world that are proactively looking to cut corners just to make the daily grind a bit easier. Unfortunately, the "not my job moments" can amount to severely inconveniencing other people that literally don't have time in their days to deal with all the fail-themed nonsense. For another tale of pro revenge check out the time that a city gave a man trouble over his property line, so he built a revenge bar.
We're big fans of Pokémon lore here. In this case, we have a comprehensive rundown that covers the deep societal impact of Poké Balls, and how the availability and pricing of different kinds of Poké Balls ended up generating rifts between different classes in the Pokémon universe. Of course Tumblr had to go there. There was no other way. If this Tumblr thread got you going, then check out this Tumblr thread about how Pokémon's Ash Ketchum is a jacked beast, or you could get lost in an entertaining Twitter thread about how Rattata could theoretically beat Goku.
There can be something strangely lovable about having a coworker on hand who decides to meet an unfavorable decision by their company, with a swift and brilliant act of malicious compliance. Bob sounds like he's just a bit of a mad lad. Clearly the guy wasn't just going to step aside without putting up a bit of a fight when it came to his cellphone situation being jeopardized. For another recent malicious compliance story check out this manager who forced their employee to get a sick note (even though it was illegal), and then how the doctor maliciously complied.
To be honest we're not huge fans of puns. Or maybe, more accurately, most puns. Most puns are the worst. Most puns are just the garbage juice at the bottom of the dumpster of actual comedy. But some puns. Oh baby. Some puns and dad jokes are so bone-shakingly funny they just want to make you shriek with laughter until you're as hoarse as Seabiscuit. See, that was a bad pun.
It's important to remember that every creepy signis there because something happened that made it necessary. Someone fed their fingers to the horses, someone taunted the bonobos, someone sat under a coconut tree on a windy day, someone swam in the sewage outflow, and presumably, someone drank the cemetery water. So hats off to all the bad days that led to these spooky signs.
Far too many of us have been caught up right in the middle of the humbling realization that we've been leading our lives without having any idea that we're pronouncing words far from the correct way. Maybe it's the result of some kind of prideful stubbornness. Like, you don't want to go out of your way to ask someone else around you how to pronounce a word the right way, for fear of being made fun of over it. Also though, hey, maybe this list will serve to clear up any blind spots you might've had lying around about the proper pronunciation of various words.
Ryan Reynolds has a heroic track record when it comes to dropping nuggets of pure comedy gold. Basically, it's good news for everyone when Reynolds has a new movie to promote. In this case, we have a genuinely hilarious little video from Reynolds that he released to get the hype train rolling even more for his new movie "Free Guy." For some more internet gold from Ryan Reynolds check out the time that he live-tweeted his reactions to "Green Lantern." Naturally, it was a scathing sequence of tweets.
This royal navy warship was patrolling for poachers near Antarctica when mighty Neptune himself declared it was time to make everyone crap their pants with a bowel-levelling wave that washed over everyone's souls. Just seeing this thing slowly coming and knowing nothing can stop it is a god damn trip.
