Life sure ain't like what it's made out to be in the movies. This casino cheating expert does an effective job at deconstructing some of those fever dreams and mirages that casino movies can impart upon their viewers. Hopefully, some folks that were actually thinking about trying their luck by cheating the house, get convinced to do otherwise after watching this video.
You might not even have a yard in the first place. Does that mean that this video isn't engaging on some level or another? Of course not. Picking up random tidbits of knowledge as you continue to navigate this crazy life can be a fun process.
There are plenty of people in this world that are ready to pollute those social media feeds and in-person conversations with wild, imaginative, completely fabricated tales about what they've accomplished in their lives. Sometimes, it's more obvious than others. We certainly love to see people get called out for their dishonesty online. With all of that being said, this particular list takes things a different, hilarious, more morally righteous direction with a collection of times that people were shamelessly honest on their job applications. If this was too honest of a post for you, check out the time that a woman lied about being a marine to get herself into the writer's room for a TV show, and then got exposed.
These relatable memes and tweets about the soul-grinding rollercoaster that can be working retail, speak to the troubled soul. Anyone who has ever been on the frontlines of a sales floor, or worked as a server, or even back of house mixing it up with the perpetually enraged chefs, knows that the gig can push you to your very limits. But hey, maybe we can take solace in knowing that the struggle is never exclusive to one person, and only one person in this mad world. It's happening all over the place. The hope just is that one day, the entitled and ferociously toxic customers just give all their antics a rest.
We do our best to accommodate our loved ones, but when the baselines shift and the things we make are rejected like yesterday's trash, it doesn't feel so good. Under most circumstances, making a fully vegan meal would be more than enough to please a vegan guest. But that's most circumstances. For some more dietary shenanigans, here's the vegan employee who suggested a coworker eat their burger outside.
Tumblr is a tangled web of thoughts and observations. As we weave these webs of information into tapestries of meaning, we realize just how much time people are willing to take to express the most inconsequential, silly, and dumb thoughts on the internet. But they aren't without their own weight. And there's something beautiful in that. Plus lots of cat pictures. For some more tumblr thoughts, here are random and ridiculous tumblr gems to fight the clawing boredom.
The process of commuting to work is only made worse by having to deal with unforeseen transportation obstacles that can arise at a moment's notice. Maybe the bus is running late, too late. Maybe the Lyft ride that should've pulled up to rapidly whisk you away to your office has seemingly committed itself to driving as far as possible in the wrong direction. Or, maybe you've had an experience like this poor woman who had to deal with a cab driver who never should've had the gig in the first place. At least this initially frustrating tale has a happy ending. Benny the cab service owner steps up and puts Kevin in his rightful place. Three strikes and you're out, bud.
It's perfectly fine to not get a joke. We all do it all the time. There's absolutely no shame in being confused. But when you're the kind of person who hates critical thinking so much that you decide that an obvious joke is an earnest statement, then go out of your way to accuse that person of not knowing what the sun is or whatever, you've just found yourself among the ranks of oblivious people who completely missed the joke. Enjoy your idiot throne atop your hill of dumb.
Depending on where you live, you might associate autumn with that distinct chill in the air, shorter days, and an abundance of pumpkins that were sacrificed to the greater cause of playing their roles as doorstep/fire escape/windowsill decorations. Autumn, and especially Spooktober is also the time when people flock to corn mazes with a maddened hunger in their eyes. There's clearly something hard-wired in the humans' DNA, where we can enjoy the process of getting lost just to find ourselves again. Who knows? Maybe something about the thrill of unpredictability. With all of that being said, you've got to be extra careful when you're navigating the dark and treacherous alleyways of a corn maze populated by bloodthirsty stalks of corn.
Some traditions are in place for extremely good reasons. Others aren't. Call us horrible cheapskates, which we are, but having to give 5 bucks to Hallmark for a card with a picture of a dog that says "I hope you have an imPAWSibly fun birthday" is criminal and insane. It may have made sense 50 years ago, but now it feels like we're throwing our money away. For some other things that have no good reason to be, here are the most expensive things that people witnessed.
Some people are wandering boldly, unknowingly aimlessly through this world without a clue that the way they're carrying themselves is completely unacceptable. Take this seasoned groom, for instance. After the first marriage caves in on itself, the dude expects the wedding guests/coworkers to be stoked about the prospect of a second cash wedding, cash bridal shower, and potluck. Yeah. Money still isn't growing on trees. Would be cool if it did, but we're not there yet. If you want to keep the wedding drama going, check out this post about a carnivore family member who refused to attend a vegan wedding, so the bride consulted Reddit.
Spooktober has arrived, folks. Pumpkins near and far are getting makeovers, and lines have gathered outside the doors of your favorite coffeeshops, where sugar-crazed, potentially basic customers wait for their steaming pumpkin spice beverages. There's also the whole matter of stores that are specifically set up to sell Halloween decorations. Yeah, we're talking about the infamous Spirit Halloween store. This Australian Tumblr user came in hot and generally beside themselves over the fact that these desolate buildings have existed, only to be possessed by the spirit of Halloween itself when the season rolls around. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr post about the lack of scientific integrity.
Oh boy, what a wonderful tale coming right out of Florida. It sounds like this Florida Karen was just a little bit lost. So lost that she mistook what was very, very clearly a dad shopping around with his family for being a grocery store employee. All in all, it honestly sounds like a pretty humorous situation. If you want to keep the Karen drama going check out this story about a Karen mistakenly bullying a fellow customer, and then getting mocked.
The job interview process can push people to the brink of madness itself. It could be the natural manifestation of all those nerves making themselves known, but fails will oftentimes present themselves. Even with all the preparation in the world, one of the parts about being human is being prone toward spontaneous fits of failure where your brain gets all jumbled up, and your senses seem to leave you for a while. Hopefully, this AskReddit thread where people describe their unforgettable failures during the job interview process, makes you feel a bit better about any times you ended up wiping out during the job interview process.
Um, get this guy a raise as soon as humanly possible. He's literally doing it all. There are plenty of people out there that would sink underneath the weight of what could understandably feel like insurmountable odds, when you're left to run a popular (eh, debatable) fast food restaurant all by your lonesome self.
What compels a news crew to do this bad a job of covering a haunted house? Maybe they ran out of time? Maybe they were all upset that they had to be there in the first place? Maybe the reporter doesn't know what feelings like "fear" or "joy" are and is just doing a poor recreation of those emotions she's heard about? Or maybe, just maybe, no one gave a single heck, and the voice really didn't help. The whole thing is just awkward, man.
This guy just needs to make the extra effort to steer clear of any possible collisions while on the road. Outside of that, this is some brilliant work.
Some people's brains seem to instantaneously go completely haywire when they find themselves knee-deep in a moment of undeniable failure. This Karen clearly fits the bill for such a spontaneous emotional combustion.
Living in a society means sometimes having to make concessions for the people who live around you. For instance, if someone is doing emergency pipe repairs at 11 pm, you don't have a good enough reason to go outside, turn off their equipment, and threaten them with a piece of wood. This guy had a hard time understanding that concept, so he had the concept understood for him. For a satisfying work story, here's the janitor who dressed up, got confused for his manager and got his job.
Ever wanted a haunted doll? Ever thought to yourself "I'd love to defraud the Salvation Army, but where do I get one of them buckets?" Well the answer is predictably, all over the internet and in the form of dumb junk people tried selling online. The fact is that some of these are jokes and some of these were posted in complete earnestness. The thing is, the ones you want to be jokes are never the ones that actually are.
The devil really is in the details. This manager was clearly one of those profoundly tiresome human beings who refuses to be reasonable. The good news for the employee in this situation is that their manager failed to read up on the very contract that they used as a fallback, when trying to skip out on paying their employee for their unused vacation days. Suffice to say, it's a sweet fairytale ending. If you want to keep the malicious compliance going, check out this story about a customer service rep who cancelled a rude customer's television service while he watched.
It might be your job to paint lines on a road. But nowhere in your job description does it say you need to move any cars, forklifts, rocks or extension cords. Sure, some of those responsibilities might be assumed, but the cunning worker knows that doing anything other than the loosest interpretation of their exact job description is the way to get things done without unnecessary perspiration. These "not my job" moments of professional apathy are a thing of beauty.
This fine tale of petty revenge reads just how you might expect a playful revenge to go down between friends. Honestly though, some people will really go for that pint of butter when they load up on the popcorn at the movie theatre. If this wholesome petty revenge tale got you going, check out another revenge story with this nuclear revenge tale about a man unleashing a nuclear revenge on his cheating ex.
The constant grind of employment is a double-edged sword. On one hand, we wish we had enough free time to go on a meaningful trip, learn woodworking and take a pottery class. On the other hand, being able to sleep in a warm bed and eat regular meals is pretty nice. As we all slowly become people who relate to those mugs about not being talked to before having our coffee, and hang up posters of cats in predicaments, we must ask ourselves, "is this a meaningful life?" And out of the darkness we hear an answer that says "your 2004 Civic's check engine light is on." Here are some more work memes.
They say power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But give one person autonomy over a coffee maker or a copier and watch as they reign over their microscopic empire with indomitable will and fist of iron. Seriously, give the wrong person authority over something as small as a broom closet and they'll manage to turn it into a broom kingdom. For a power play, here's an unreasonable boss who threatened a deli guy's job, to which he said "okay."
The world's not going to run out of wildly entitled choosy beggars anytime soon. This emotional rollercoaster revolves around a choosy beggar who seemingly can't locate their common sense. Honestly, good on the seller for reworking that original asking price after having to repeatedly tell the choosy beggar that the price was set in stone at $175. Check out some more shameless cheapskates that were their own worst enemies over here.
Unfortunately, the reality is that far too many of us have found ourselves dealing with infuriatingly entitled coworkers that somehow, some way expect the most unrealistic things out of you. Like, for instance, working while you're on your hard-earned vacation. Yes, that's the particular predicament that this employee found themselves in. You might be able to imagine who the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with.
This quick Tumblr story offers a telling reflection of the lengths that people will go to, when it comes to securing themselves new jobs and better grades in school. Basically, it can be a very difficult matter to maintain that sweet scientific integrity when you're also dealing with a fair amount of human desperation. If you want to keep the Tumblr content going, check out these tweets and Tumblr gems to win the battle against boredom.
The fact that the villainous boss in this fresh tale from Reddit's AITA community had the nerve to punish their waitress for being dangerously ill, is pretty mind blowing stuff. I mean, this waitress literally had to be airlifted to the ICU. We're not talking about a stuffy nose. She was in a dire, life-threatening state. You might be able to imagine who the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community found themselves siding with.
It's a problem we've all experienced. Someone lodges the basketball into that exact perfect spot where it can get stuck riiiiight between the hoop and the backboard. Most of us would think to solve this trivial issue with a stick or even just a tall friend, but this genius has decided it's a job for his shoe. And guess what? That's not a shoe job.
