There's nothing quite as puzzling as the bold confidence of a glaringly evident fool. It can be quite entertaining and disheartening at the same time to watch someone go off on whatever tangent they feel compelled to go on, all the while with no idea that they have no idea what they're talking about. Maybe these insights will take you on a trip down memory lane to an experience of your own.
When you get a few hundred to a thousand developing adults into one building and try to get them to follow rules for 7 hours a day, you are setting up a recipe for weirdness. Some kids wanted attention. Other kids (most of us) were trying not to be cringeworthy and failed. Other kids (also most of us) were just bored. We all remember a day at school, trying to get through some drab math exercises when another kid would lean over and say "dude, did you hear about what Jeremy did?" And what an interesting time we'd all have recounting Jeremy's shenanigans. It's not just the kids, sometimes teachers say weird and wild junk too.
The entitlement is off the charts with this neighbor. What kind of person makes a whole thing out of saying that someone else's clearly marked private property is actually communal space? Clearly, someone who has some severe boundary issues. It sounds like taking the stand and having the lady's car towed was the only way to prevent the situation from getting any worse than it already was. For another ridiculous entitled neighbor scenario, check out this entitled neighbor who expected free high speed internet and then got rejected.
The level of entitlement in this scenario is truly beyond comprehension. We just don't understand how people end up losing touch with reality like this. There's no possible way to reason with anyone approaching a negotiation like this.
Well played by the plumber. This choosing beggar is giving every impression that they'd never have actually paid up. The sheer audacity of this person and their pompous entitlement is beyond comprehension. Check out some more delusional choosing beggars in action over here.
Building a house is hard. Or at least it seems like it when you see all the "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism that go into building anything. People really have a knack for putting toilets in inconvenient places. Who knows, maybe it's nice to have a toilet at the top of the stairs? It becomes a place to survey your domain. Either way, there's no project that goes on without a few moments of professional ineptitude.
In our world of diversifying diets, we find ourselves in awkward situations over people's dietary restrictions, or even just points they're trying to make. Basically the exact opposite of this situation happened when an uncle at a vegan wedding couldn't handle it and demanded a meat meal. The enduring fact seems to be that if you're a guest and getting a free meal, you're going to find your options limited.
So long as you have a decent enough grasp on your moral compass you probably walk through life doing what you can to not upset the people you cross paths with. Sometimes, that can manifest in rather harrowing acts of eating just the kinds of food that make you genuinely sick to your stomach. Maybe these people's accounts of their own experiences eating various foods they found to be utterly terrible, will strike a chord with you.
Oh mom, her heart was in the right place. Little did she somehow not know that the act of washing a computer would result in the technology being completely ruined. Just imagine being the poor tech support employee caught up on the other end of this absurd debacle. For some more tech support drama check out this customer who tried to get a tech support employee fired, and then ended up being showed up in the process.
Something being too cursed very well might be a thing. Yet, at the same time, it's the funniest thing. It's like part of our brains are hardwired to be helplessly captivated by uncomfortable images. Like, you want to look away but it's also very difficult to do that. Quite the situation.
Man, oh, man, our hearts go out to any hard working employees that have to deal with these levels of hostile entitlement. The choosing beggars of the world have a way of tossing their social decency out the window when their irrational demands are inevitably rejected. This Karen was in way over her head from the start.
Food allergies are no joke. With that being said, if a restaurant fails to make good on an order from a customer who specifically asks for certain problem ingredients to be left out, it could be viewed as fair for them to send the order back. As long as the sending of the order back is being handled in a fair, respectful matter it shouldn't be too big of a problem at all. So, this customer asked for a new burger, the restaurant refused, and then the customer decided to only leave enough money for their drink. Some folks in the comments section are in agreement that that was a reasonable move to make.
Sure, doing your job the right way is fine and all, but you save some much time and energy by doing things completely improperly. Sure, these become "not my job" moments of failure, but think of all the time and effort saved when you install a gutter system in a way that conveniences no one. These "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism are making it easier for some of us.
Oh, the unparalleled panic of losing your kid at the store. It's common knowledge that kids are weird and dumb, and as it stands they shouldn't be trusted. Look away for a second and they're off trying to drink toilet water or join a new family. Sure, we eventually grow to resent the illogical things our parents do, but for a real long time it's you being the idiot.
The internet stood in judgement of this intriguing case, wherein an overzealous wife of an employee vastly overestimated her powers. Managerial duties don't transfer via osmosis, but she sure felt like she had the authority to get free meals for her friends and fire a waitress who got in her way. Sometimes people's partners have a hard time with reality, like this Karen military wife who demanded salutes or this Lying brother who covered up the fact his wife was the breadwinner.
They say what you don't know can't hurt you. The "they" in that phrase seems not to have ever heard about dangerous heavy equipment, poisonous trees, and looming monkey attacks. These creepy signs make their message clear about what's coming for whom, and that's probably a good thing. Even though these terrifying signs speak the language of fear, they're still trying to tell us something, and that's better than nothing.
Um, the fact that this guy's wife told his coworker to basically back off, and said coworker continued to bring meals after that, makes this a very unsettling situation, indeed. Not even unsettling as much as it's just plain old inappropriate. If anything, it seems like something far more extramarital could be afoot in this unfortunate "love triangle."
Life can seem like a big swirling pool of negativity sometimes, but it's important to remember that you have the ability to stop and focus on what's important. It's probably better for us in the long run to spend at least some time thinking about the things that make us happy, and baby that meanswholesome memes for a shot of niceness.
The garden variety Karen is known for obstructive outbursts, and this one was no different when she convinced herself that an employee was trying to ruin her day. Even given an explanation, she wasn't ready to back down. For another Karen with nonsensical demands, here's a Karen who demanded a delivery driver check her groceries out.
Seeing our own actions through the eyes of a more coldly logical being lets us poke fun at the absurdity of our own lives. Plus it doesn't hurt that Vulcans are a fun concept to play around with anyway, as evidenced by this tumblr thread of a human on a Vulcan ship. Pet ownership is weird, and our relationship with cats in particular is fraught with unique and strange meaning. Especially when you get into specifics like this tumblr thread on how cats are just eloquent enough to be melodramatic.
Sure, if the hill you're willing to die on costs four cents out of the charity bin, go ahead and die on that hill. Customers sometimes make demands with stupid implications, like this customer who wanted a pound of chicken wings and got less wings or this guy who demanded to ride in a go kart with no engine.
"Passing the savings" on to the consumer is great and all, but what really matters is that you're passing the actual product to the consumer. Everyone has had a moment with lying packaging, trick containers and misleading and awful products that ended up being more cardboard and air than anything else. The lengths some manipulative and terrible products will go to is something that feels like it should only exist in cartoons.
The absurd audacity of entitled people knows no limits. There's a kind of personality out there who's able to jump through as many logical hoops as it takes to make any self-serving request seem reasonable. There are bosses who will expect workers to pay for their own materials, landlords who see no problem asking people to pay 6 months up front, and complete strangers who will get angry at you for not sharing your Netflix password. It's amazing, watching how laughably bold entitled people will get.
We live in a world where humans are free to make their own choices, and that means people can be as facepalmingly dumb as they want. It makes you rethink whether or not this whole civilized society thing is even a good idea to begin with. Just hearing the stupid things people say in full confidence is enough to want to live in a cave, but here we are. There's more and more classic facepalm moments of dumbness every day.
Let it be duly noted that engineers are dangerously sassy when they're bored. With that out of the way, this dude's account of dealing with a terribly belligerent customer is nothing short of glorious. Sometimes, the best course of action when confronted by a customer who seems bent on making your shift miserable is to counteract all of their toxic nonsense with pure brainpower. Check out another wonderful tale of malicious compliance with this man who followed contracted hours, and the destruction that ensued within management.
So many of us take for granted just how ridiculous some of the names of scientific things are. It's fun to take a moment and appreciate what kinds of wild thought processes went into naming various objects of observation. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this post about how trees are low key monsters. Just a tad bit unnerving.
We've all heard stories about stuff like poisonous blowfish, but when you really think about it, there's a surprising number of foods that can kill you. It's not just poisonous foods, but also strange and specific allergies, extremely dodgy and less than hygienically stuff, or just something you might just choke on. There's a wide world of dangerous food out there, and many of us have found ourselves on the wrong end of the spoon. People will also eat the worst things, simply out of politeness.
If a scammer tries to get at your hard-earned money, you're justified in, nay obligated to, feed them a bunch of absurd lies and waste their afternoon with your goofdom. It's simply what's done. For some extra scammer drama, here are some influencers getting called out for their lobster scam as well as Scammy Tammy wasting a seller's time with her dumb scam.
Anyone who has ever moved into a new place knows that the experience can be marked by a bit of stress over what your new neighbors are going to be like. It can be a bit of a gamble. Sometimes, you think you're moving into a place next to a perfectly reasonable human being, and then come to find out that they're nothing short of a waking nightmare. The folks that are featured in this collection of ridiculous posts on the infamous Nextdoorneighbor app seem like they could be quite the handful.
Man. What an absolute FU. And also what a stupid way to wire in a switch to a sump.
Why on gods green earth would you wire both the light and the sump to both function off of the same switch? That sounds like putting mines in a soccer field and being surprised when it all goes horrible wrong.
