They say what you don't know can't hurt you, but that line of logic doesn't work when it comes to exposed wires, sinkholes, hidden explosive ordinance, and bears. Also poison ivy, quicksand, riptides, monkeys and poison gas. Oh yeah, plus geese, shooting ranges and nuclear runoff. But that's close to all of it. Maybe. Either way these creepy signs made their message clear.
Christmas is a pretty big deal, ideally it's a time when families are able to come together and celebrate. Holidays are supposed to be family centered and cater to the needs of the family members. Well, sometimes the siblings bicker, the dogs become an issue, and other ridiculousness. OP has made it very clear that her dogs need to feel comfortable in their home.
Unfortunately, OP's 9 year old nephew is very uneasy around dogs. So sis suggests that they leave the dogs outside while they celebrate Christmas, in freezing temperatures…in the height of winter. Yeah, nah. That's not a legitimate solution, and for some reason OP's sis does not understand why.
The close talking is one thing, but the insistence on making his one joke work is a masterclass in being awkward as hell. Apparently Pierre has had a history of being a strange man in the world of professional hockey, and those in the know aren't the least bit surprised by the hockey executive being...well... like this.
There are moments when we come across something so simple that it feels like it should just be extremely stupid. But after one or two rounds of this, we were surprised how invested we got in trying to find this guy. Dude's a good hider.
All right y'all, gear up for this one. Crazy lady alert. This woman has a track record of becoming obsessed with the idea of having a dog, only to rehome it after the dog's "newness" has worn off. Husband on the other hand is a big time dog lover and very clearly explained to his wife that if they were to get a dog together, that dog would be a part of the family long term and under no circumstances would they be rehoming him. Well, his wife let him down (not the first time). She quickly grew tired of their new pup, but nope, not today, husband is putting his foot down. The dog is staying, the wife is leaving. Marriage does not have to be forever, not if you're unhappy. Dogs on the other hand, now that's a commitment. Kanye West isn't the only one who hopes this couple signed pre-nup, we sense a nasty divorce up ahead.
We're always super wary of any kind of movie plot holes or unrealistic movie logic moments, but we often lack the technical expertise on any given subject to call the right kind of BS. Luckily we have people like @that_mc, an actual bus driver, to give an extremely detailed take on a movie-fight bus scene. Also it's good to finally know what the fire extinguisher is for.
It sucks to get your hopes up just to have them dashed later on. That's why it's kind of refreshing when something looks like it's gonna suck, and then lo and behold, it totally does. The feeling of confirmation we can get by universally identify a flop is a nice penance for having to tolerate it. For some more bad ideas, here are some of thedumbest business ideas people have seen.
Every once in a while you'll drive by a sign that says something like "free pizza for everyone who enters, except Jim." And you wonder, does Jim deserve this kind of treatment? It stands to reason that maybe the last time there was free pizza, Jim was a real jerk about it, and that's why they have the disclaimer. Or maybe they just really don't like Jim. Either way it's still pretty funny. Here are some more humorous instances of people and things getting singled out.
These in laws need an attitude check. You probably shouldn't be grabbing a baby away from its mother. Especially when said mother is in the process of grieving the profound loss of the loss of a sibling.
Hubby needs to step up and support his wife and stand up to his parents. There is no reason that she should need to apology here. Even if her actions had been incorrect the circumstances would be understandable.
Having a nuanced understanding of history is a great way to fully understand what's on the news, but sadly it has almost nothing to do with being fun at parties or making a ton of money. May these history memes for the besmartened offer clarity and enlightenment, and that's it. Sorry, knowing about the Great Emu War just isn't going to get anyone a great job or true love. But at least it's something.
If you go out of your way to be a generally insufferable human being to a perfectly kind and helpful individual who is working customer service, then you can pretty much count on something coming back to bite you in the butt. Sometimes, people are able to look past the toxic nonsense, but that takes some truly saintly patience. It sounds like this Omega Karen was on such an unbearable level of rudeness, that it was just bound to blow up in her face.
There's no question that kids are stupid and weird. We remember being stupid and weird. We remember having ridiculous beliefs. We remember thinking that the teacher lived at the school and that adults knew what they were talking about. We remember drawing mustaches on ourselves with permanent marker. Kids are just dumb and weird, and time only sort of remedies that.
Look, we're not sure what was going on with the tattoo artist during this particular visit. Maybe they ate some demonically spicy Pad Thai that left their stomach in complete ruin the next day, and the bathroom was their only sanctuary. Or, maybe they were just trying to jack up how much money they'd make, by dragging out the length of the customer's session through being an aggressive regular at the restroom. Either way, it sounds like the customer thought it was fair enough to leave a smaller tip. Folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement over the customer's decision.
The world is a great big place filled with interesting people. But interesting doesn't necessarily mean "good to talk to" or "nice to be around." Every once in a while entitled people with their absurd audacity cross our paths, demanding discounted lawnmowers, better donuts and free rides that are like really out of our way. Every time that happens, we're given a choice to either fear the ceaseless demands of entitled people or answer their call with ridicule. Ridicule is a better bet.
If you have a family member go out of their way to prepare a nice homemade meal like pizza for you, it's probably in your best interest to work real hard at not staging a whole meltdown over something like there "being too much sauce." It sounds like the chef in this scenario had hit their breaking point, and thus decided to stage their own saucy petty revenge. Check out more people's finest moments of revenge over here.
Man oh man, some of the world's managers really never should've been put in the positions of power that they were in the first place. It sounds like Jeff was possessed by blind greed to such an extent that it was only a matter of time before he ended up engineering his own demise. I wonder how many moments Jeff had where he was up late at night, tossing and turning, soaked in sweat, bogged down by the burn of regret. It's like, he was the one who ultimately ended up complicating his own life. For another entertaining tale of malicious compliance, check out the time that a Karen presenter demanded a crappier hotel, and got it.
So basically, Comic Sans deserves far more love than it's been getting. We're quite blessed to be living in an era that's been marked by the kinds of technological innovations that can ultimately make it easier for folks that are dealing with irritating situations like dyslexia. For some more gold from Tumblr, check out this Tumblr thread about the implications of a sleep starved society.
Anyone who has worked retail has probably crossed paths with a customer who's tried to pull the ol' return scam. They'll claim they bought something, it was defective, have no proof , but still demand a refund. It even works sometimes, like in this tale of employees getting bamboozled by the chicken lady. The thing is, people who pull this off once seem to get a taste for it and frequently try to recreate the scheme, often at the same store. Good luck with that.
The days are long and sometimes we need strength against boredom in the form of tweets and Tumblr gems. The internet is like a Rube Goldberg machine of thoughts bumping into feelings, unleashing new ideas and possibilities. Of course, it almost always produces a dumb and ineffectual result. But hey, that's how it goes with Tumblr gems and tweets.
Clearly, sometimes, folks just aren't meant to be together. It would seem that these two are undeniably in that boat. So, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you're dealing with the grim reality of having a mail-stealing ex, you might just find yourself inclined to fight back against their BS by using some fake mail.
Okay, sometimes dogs need to be shaved for medical reasons. That doesn't make them look less silly, but at least those ones have an explanation. The ones where you can tell people deliberately tried to make their dog look dumb? What's that all about? For some more funny looking dogs, here are some sleepy dogs in goofy positions.
We've all lost some work to the fates of computer junk, but usually we have the benefit of blaming the system we're using. We get to say "damn this program, I thought I had that crap saved but it's done screwed me over again!" But not this time. IT gets some characters, like this guy who thought he knew better than IT but learned otherwise.
The world is a big place full of all kinds of people. Unfortunately, some of those people are the kind of entitled people who want to play absurd games. The kind of people who will make their employees pay them for the privilege of working for them. The kind of people who will throw a tantrum because they are too old to get a free donut. Entitled people and their excruciating behavior are a phenomenon that is impossible to look away from.
The name of the game in this educational Tumblr thread is to not sleep on sleep. Those zzz's are crucial toward maintaining some kind of balance in one's life. With that being said, we clearly live in a society that oftentimes operates at such a fast and competitive pace that actually locking down the proper amount of sleep every night can become a terrible challenge in and of itself. Keep the Tumblr vibes going with this collection of totally random, strange, and on point Tumblr gems.
Yeah man, that's not how it goes. This guy apparently assumed that his computer would be able to function during a power outage, by running off of a watch battery. Suffice to say, that's not how it works at all. You've really got to feel for these poor folks that work tech support, and then end up encountering some truly, soberingly clueless individuals. For another tale from the tech support world, check out this story about a CEO who assumed his computer had been hacked, and then learned how a keyboard works.
We can only watch 90 Day Fiancé and reruns of Doug for so long before we start to long for some dense historical texts, and these history memes to become with time seem to fit that need alright. Who needs social skills when we can chortle heartily over references to various Mongol invasions and treaty signings? History memes are the light in the darkness.
Parking lots effortlessly bring out people's nastiest sides. There's just something about the way that so many people operate in this world, where it amounts to them turning into completely frantic animals when it comes time to exercise just a little bit of social decency while navigating a parking lot. Maybe you'll end up taking a note out of these people's books for the next time you find yourself confronting a parking lot bully, and ready to enact a petty revenge to "make things right."
All is fair in love and war. The same principle applies if you're going to be abusive and make demands from a customer service rep.
It's amazing that people still fail to realize that the best way to get a good result from a customer service rep is to be as pleasant as you can possibly be to them and go out of your way to make this the one call of their day that is a real human experience. If you can tell that you are getting stonewalled by the process they have to follow for a call then it is ok to escalate in order to get the necessary result. But you can be nice while you do it. You know?
Props to this call rep for giving the customer exactly what they asked for. The ensuing meltdown was well deserved.
We love us some good old-fashioned design fails here. It's fun to take that moment and try to determine what kinds of misled thinking went into these. Maybe they're just very ahead of their time, or something. Check out some more dumb design failures that somehow got through, over here.
Everyone has different instincts for how to stick around at their job. Some people just do a good job. Other people try to maintain a low profile. And then there are the brown-nosers. The people who's personalities change on a dime when the boss is around. The guy who buys his boss lunch. The coworker who will do anything for a shot at sniffing their manager's shoes. People have enough work horror stories to go around. Maybe some work memes would help.
