The thing about the world's disrespectful bunch of folks is that they absolutely hate being called out on their antics. In this case, it sounds like the brother who got rightfully called out for his inappropriate remark did not take too kindly to the necessary reality check at all. It needed to happen, man. For some more wedding drama check out this post about the time that a bride's friend wanted to use her wedding for photos, and then how the bride refused.
All in all, our eyes are pretty good at what they do. They can tell that a tree isn't a hamburger. Thanks eyes. But when they do screw up, they screw up big, with strange illusions caused by skewed perspective. For just a few seconds, our dumb eyes can make us think that giants exist, or that we're looking at someone's lost butt lying on the street. But that's not a forgotten road ass, that's just a double-take-causing image of skewed perspective.
While there are a crazy amount of stories of the worst dates people went on and first dates where people said "screw this I'm out," it's at least a refreshing reminder of how incredibly low the bar is, and how easy it is to not blow a date. Regardless of their state of corporeal being, everyone knows it's better to meet the parents later on. Also, for god's sake spend the four dollars for bacon.
It's absolutely astonishing, the amount of junk people get away with before being fired. And there's kind of a beauty to it, too. The not my job moments from these masters of negligence are nothing short of artwork, crafted with the utmost non-care. May the radiant unprofessionalism of not my job moments persist, and live again to inconvenience someone who could really use a functional goddamn staircase.
Anyone who has ever worked a physical job has probably had to do make unsavory and risky decisions for about 12 dollars an hour, 10 after taxes. We'd rather not do things like this, but when your boss is breathing whiskey-flavored breath down your neck and telling you to get on the top of the forklift or get fired, OSHA unapproved moments of safety failure tend to happen. And then there are the dudes who tape 3 ladders together to save a 30-minute trip to the hardware store. Everyone has priorities.
Honestly, it's just impressive that someone took the time out of their day to read the dang contract and then approve the rate that was agreed upon. It also sounds like this boss might just actually be a great person. If you enjoyed this tale of malicious compliance check out this recent post about a profoundly salty old man who pitched a full on fit over some salted licorice.
We can always count on the wonderful ever wandering minds of the Tumblr world to lead us down just the kind of bizarre rabbit holes that we'd otherwise never have thought to explore. In this case, the Tumblr thread delivers big time in terms of wild historical knowledge. The moral of the story is definitely to be specific. The devil's in the details, man. For some more gold from the Tumblr world, check out this Tumblr thread about scientists and their terrific superstitions in the lab.
Sometimes, we don't know what we're in the mood for. We don't know if we want to laugh, cry, or get angry. But that's okay, because being creeped out is just something that happens on it own, especially in the case of cursed images to feel weird about. So tuck into some strange and cursed images of internet weirdness and bask in the no-context freakishness of the world at large.
You can only hope the person you abandon your kids with is someone with professional childcare experience. While it's a not-so-noble dad move to foist the burden of your children onto a stranger, it's something else entirely to get furious around firearms, like this entitled dad who was furious his son needed permission to hold a gun. For more airplane shenanigans, here's a flight attendant's wildest stories.
We all have brilliant ideas that are dumb upon review. We've all had dreams of starting a restaurant that only sells soup in fishbowls or whatever. Some of us just go ahead and spend a few hundred grand on that idea before realizing that it was stupid. Also, how do people keep thinking pyramid schemes are a good idea? At least there's something to be gleaned from learning about horrible but common financial decisions that people make.
Oh boy, these wildly entitled choosing beggars just keep coming right on out of the woodwork. It sounds like this choosy beggar was carrying themselves in such a way where it was only a matter of time before they got the necessary reality check. Maybe they should go and have a conversation with their manager about how 17 bucks for 10 hours of work could actually be a legitimate transaction. Check out some more entitled people who made the world a less friendly place over here.
All the tea is being spilled in this AskReddit thread that has cheaters describing the various reasons that they decided to cheat in the first place. Cheating on a partner is one of the lowest things a person can do. Honestly, these are just plain old brutal. Hopefully they can serve as some motivation for other folks out there to never cross that line.
They say that we only use 10% percent of our brainpower at any given time. The reality of this is that we totally can use 100% of our brain at once, but it's called "having a stroke." Long story short, it's safer to use less brain at any given time. And these folks, with their goofs, blunders and facepalm moments, were about as safe as it gets. For some straight up dumbness, here are facepalm moments made possible by the brutally stupid.
We're all superstitious people to some extent. One would assume that scientist and lab techs, whose jobs depend on objectivity and scientific rigor, would be the most rational at work. But nah, everyone's got their good luck charms. Be they Taiwanese snack foods or happy meal toys, these are the things that keep the machines running, sort of. For some more fun science junk, here's the sciences judged on lickability and a tumblr thread on why frogs have got weird bones.
It sounds like the Aunt was in the wrong on this one. Basically, the aunt was carrying out just the kind of behavior that ended up being very embarrassing for herself. Some people respond better to the swift and brutal reality checks than others. Plus, it sounds like this environment/timing might've been a bit dicey. With all of that being said, folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement that the aunt getting called out was completely called for.
The rumor is that the Dalai Lama is still laughing to this day. If this guy was looking for laughs, it's safe to say that he might've actually gotten more than he was bargaining for. What a wonderful, wholesome moment.
In June, the Czech Republic experienced a rare but horrifying and destructive tornado event. Here's an inside view of this thing ripping its way through absolutely everything in its path at windspeeds up to 324 km/h. There's not much to say but "yikes."
Ejections in the MLB can be a wildly fascinating thing to watch. People just snap at a certain point, man. Maybe all of that pressure that comes with having to perform at such an unwaveringly exceptional level due to obscene salaries makes the brain go haywire at a certain point. This guy definitely lost it.
Cheaters are the worst. Amidst all of their dishonest antics it seems as if they've selfishly deluded themselves to such an extent that they never take the time to consider that all of their immoral games are going to catch up with them at one point or another. In this case, we have a nasty habitual cheater of an ex who has the audacity to try and land their partner with the phone bill. Well, suffice to say, it didn't work out for them at all. Hopefully they learned their lesson, and change their ways. To keep the revenge drama going, check out another recent revenge story that we ran about a slumlord who wouldn't let a company out of a five year lease, and ended up getting their just deserts.
Dating ain't easy. With all of these disorienting dating apps available at our disposal it's far too easy to get lost in the sea of swiping and matches that end up amounting to absolutely nothing. Sometimes, it just boils down to literally not knowing what to say. Maybe these old folks and their various sentiments of dating wisdom will actually serve to be helpful.
The writing is on the wall. We are all bored, boring people. The only thing that truly enriches our lives for a moment is seeing a goofy dumb thing on the webnets, like these random and ridiculous tumblr gems to fight the clawing boredom. That dullness is coming for you, honey baby, and the only thing that can quench that forever thirst is the likes of funny and delectable tumblr gems.
There's so goddamn many people that sometimes it feels impossible to stand out. Our jobs can make us feel like a faceless cog in the machine of life, sitting in traffic makes us feel like an orderly part of the rabble only identifiable by a license plate number and propensity to take curves too fast. But we all have unique experiences, stories and things that remind us that life isn't just a grid system occupied by our own dwindling flesh. We're all unique, down to the unique sayings we have and dumbass memorabilia that we care about.
Why do people have such a hard time with this? People have a a whole lot of difficulty communicating reasonably or responsibly when buying and selling stuff to strangers, which is how we get moments like this seller who's not falling for BS and a lowballer who gets weirdly classist or this artist who isn't having a lowballer who refuses to pay for completed work.
It's dangerously easy to get so caught up in our own life situations that we forget to look up, remember that we're also living on a giant rock that's furiously spinning and falling through space. The universe is nuts. Truly. Thus, having someone take the time to break down the actual size of the universe is quite the trip. It's definitely a solid way to keep the ego in check, by reminding ourselves just how small and insignificant (yet wonderful) we are in the grand scheme of things.
It's strange that people have enough free time to argue over fridge prices on craigslist, but we're the one's using our free time to jeer at them. Our way seems more efficient. It's like listening to the "Inconceivable" guy from Princess Bride screw up buying a damn fridge. For more people who know they're value honey here's a lowballer who won't pay for completed work and the artist isn't having it. And for more voids of human decency here are entitled people who made the world a less friendly place.
Oh boy did the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community let this guy have it. Basically, he had the audacity to crack a mean-spirited joke about his girlfriend's food/drink choices right in front of her, to the very person that she already didn't dislike. To say that she didn't take too kindly to his decision would be an understatement. The dude straight up messed up. Really, all that's left for him to do is to apologize for his lapse in judgement and not go for the repeat performance.
Anyone who has worked retail knows how this story goes. You're weary after a long day of interacting with hordes of people and glad for the respite that closing the doors offers.
As soon as you've turned the key, a wild Karen appears... peering in through the glass door or a nearby window desperately trying to lock eyes with a wayward employee in order to ensnare them and pull them into their clutches. If this fails they will launch into a siren song to the chorus of "Hello? Anyone in there? Why can't you help me?".
Usually this ends with management having to get involved to avoid an absolute shipwreck and explain to the expectant how opening hours work.
It doesn't seem like the world's scammers are going anywhere just yet. There are far too many people out there still falling victim to all kinds of maniacally elaborate scams. Honestly, when you read through some of these kinds of stories about people's experiences with nasty, elaborate scams it can serve as further motivation to always keep a wary eye out for the next scammer that might be trying to catch you when you're off your guard. To shake up the tone just a little bit, check out this post about incompetent scammers who were their own worst enemies.
Pizza shop employees are on the unfortunate frontlines of having to weather completely unacceptable meltdowns from customers that refuse to act like decent human beings. In this case, we have yet another Karen who was committed to creating a problem from the very moment that she walked through the door. Fortunately, the employee on hand was more than ready to meet Karen's belligerent attitude with a level of mindfulness that ultimately resulted in Karen swiftly engineering her own demise. Oh boy, to have seen the look on her face. For another recent story about a Karen acting a fool, check out this post where Karen gets evicted, lies about her eviction, and then loses to the landlord in court after the old lease is broken out.
I can't imagine what must've been going through her mind as she steadily sank every shot she needed to make for the brand new shiny car. It must've been nothing short of an out-of-body experience. Seriously. And the half-court shot there at the end? Get out of here. Enough. Seriously, kudos to her. To pull a feat like this off while under all of that pressure is something else, man.
