Entitled Folks and Their Astounding Boldness


It's absurd, the things entitled people will demand. Most people have a basically realistic view of the things one should expect another person to go out of the way to do for them, but there are a select few who have no idea. Influencers will leave bad reviews for restaurants that don't give them free food. People will post a job listing for a nanny position and end up not actually paying any money. Customers will get mad that the company they buy stuff from also gives some of their product to charity. It's a wild world out there full of entitled people with their absurd audacity.

Obnoxious, Connected Coworker Gets "Opportunity," Ends Up Firing Herself


Having an abusive but well-connected coworker is an absolute nightmare. Their antics end only in the misery of everyone around them, but their position makes it so no one has any leverage to stop it. In this case it was the prospect of a new program and this person's self-absorption that gave everyone else an opportunity to get rid of them. So, thanks hubris. For another reasonable boss, here's the boss who pulled a fire/hire switcheroo when a coworker came in late.

Laura Ingraham Gets Caught In A "Who's On First"


It's fun to see a small moment miscommunication spiral out of control immediately and with zero recourse, especially when it's caught on air with minimal time to make any sort of correction. Ingraham had a hard time getting that the "You" he was referring to was a TV show, and despite his best efforts to clarify that, it just didn't happen.

Dude Vaporizes A Hot Dog In Acid


Sure we can acknowledge on the day-to-day the acid is scary, but to seeing what it can do to a tube of extruded animal parts is a fun reminder that chemistry can get real hardcore. Just seeing the last flash of its floppy meat-noodle form before blinking out of existence entirely is almost cartoonish. One has to wonder what hot dog vapor smells like.

Discontinued Foods That People Miss With A Passion


It's important to acknowledge that we live in an extremely unique time in history, one where new snacks and drinks are "invented" all the time. To think that for thousands of years, not one human being had experienced the spicy, savory crunch of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. It's a damn shame. At the same time, we all have our very own nostalgic snacks that we don't get to have anymore, and thus, we long for them.

Stepsister Proposes Sketchy Retirement Plan For Broke Parents, Sister Refuses To Contribute


The audacity of this stepsister is what does it for us. There are so many eyebrow raising moments here. OP spares us no details. In theory, sure, it's definitely a good idea to help out your parents when they are struggling if you are in a financial position to do so, BUT- this plan is based on many assumptions that are simply incorrect. Stepsis is requesting that OP contributes 1250 euros per month to this plan, first of all for us 'America is the center of the Earth'-ers out there, that's a whopping $1420. Second of all, OP is a stay at home mom. So step sis is just assuming that OP's husband is down to fork over a significant chunk of his monthly income? Yeah, nah. Family will always bicker, just ask this family who threatened not to come to their daughter's wedding.

Existential Memes For A Little Extra Emotional Support


What is the meaning of life? Why are we all here! What is our purpose? And on that light note, let's talk about a funny little thing called….existential dread. We could all use a little extra emotional support nowadays. What with an international pandemic, an economy that's crashing all around us, and the facy that the old ball and chain's been tightening the leash. Sometimes, you've just got to scroll through some existential memes and cringe at the idea of your own existence. Anyways, why don't you guys get some laundry going and enjoy these existential memes.

Boss Orchestrates Their Own Downfall


The biggest kicker in this ridiculous scenario is that a competent boss who was actually pulling their weight would've said just this, but then nothing would've happened because the competent boss was fulfilling the duties of their job. Unfortunately, this boss was not doing their job. So, after the employee complied the boss was exposed for not doing their job. If they'd never said anything, they would've been a whole lot better off. 

Stupid Design Failures That Deserve Criticism


No matter how confident you are, it's always a good idea to get a second eyes on a project. "Hey, what's with this stairway to nowhere" they might say. Or "did you realize that when your van door slides open it condenses Butter Salesman into Butt Man." There are more stupid design failures out there than you could shake a stick at, and even that stick might have some fatal flaws. These design failures deserve some blame.

Entitled Mom Ends Engagement And Gets Banned From Restaurant


You just never know if you're going to end up in the crossfires of a terribly entitled parent. This mom sounds like she was a whole handful. Honestly though, it seems like her horrific performance at the restaurant was for the best for everyone else involved. Besides the poor employees that had to put up with her toxic behavior, of course. 

Mistaken People Who Missed The Joke By Miles


The problem with communicating over the internet is that there's a whole lot of room for misinterpretation. Plus, there's a whole lot of access to dumb people. Those two factors mean that there's a whole lot of people who miss jokes by light-years. Does it feel good to get a joke someone else didn't get? Yeah. Is it also disappointing to see someone aggressively not get the joke? Also yeah.

Funny Tweets To Turn The Tide Of Boredom


Twitter is an interesting land full of thoughtful and interesting sentiments, but we're not interested in that. We want to see people's honest opinions on how many grapes they can fit in their own mouth, and how that will definitely impress a date. For more hysterically weird thoughts of fun strangers, here are some funny tweets to grind boredom into the dirt.

Twitter Users Describe Their Encounters With Rich People Being Wildly Out Of Touch


Sometimes it's difficult for the heavy-pocketed, wealth-laden individuals of this world to comprehend that other people don't have the financial freedom to fly to France for the weekend or "just buy a condo to save on rent." Boy wouldn't that be nice. It can get wild out there, especially when you find yourself having to explain to a grown man how much a sandwich should cost, like in these cases of rich people being wildly out of touch.

Mother-In-Law Demands Deed To House She Didn't Pay For, Gets Refused


Out-of-control in-laws can wield a scary amount of power over your relationship if you're not careful, and that's just the case with this couple who used their savings to buy the MIL a house on the promise that she'd pay it back. Well mom hasn't even tried paying any of it off and now she wants them off the deed. The whole internet screamed "DON'T DO THAT." For another wild one, here's a mother in law who tried to snatch a baby and demand an apology.

Man Walks Elderly Neighbor's Dog As A Favor, Younger Neighbor Aggressively Salty


Imagine this-  you are a young and healthy individual with lots of energy and free time. You notice that your next door neighbor is an elderly woman with limited physical capabilities. Plot twist, she has a dog who is unfortunately cooped up most of the time due to his owner's physical limits. If you're a kind and giving person you may find yourself, like this Reddit user, offering to help out a neighbor in need by walking her dog.

Now here's where it gets a little sticky, another neighbor saw this user helping their elderly neighbor and requested that he walk her dogs for free as well. OP kindly says "no" and that's where the story ends…only it's not. Some people are just not able to comprehend that no means no. Simple as that. OP is walking his neighbor's dog out of the kindness of his heart, he does not deserve to be harassed by other's who declare that are also deserving of his services. Basically, it's a whole thing. Let's get some opinions. Is OP in the wrong? Or does his other neighbor need to back off and respect that he is not interested in walking her dogs. This neighbor sounds like the kind of mom who would dump the kids on the babysitter and dip out of town.

Terrifying Signs That Had Good Reasons To Be Scary


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.

Sister Invites Herself Over For Christmas, Requests That Host's Dogs Be Left Outside


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.

Pierre McGuire Being Extremely Awkward With A Sports Announcer


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.

Dude's Wholesome Hiding Video Is Real Life Where's Waldo


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.

Husband Tells Wife She Can't Get Rid Of The Dog, Gets Rid Of Her Instead


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. 

Twitter Thread: Bus Operator Provides In-Depth Analysis Shang-Chi Bus Scene


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.

Massive Failures That Didn't Surprise Anyone


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.

Absurd Times Specific People And Things Got Singled Out


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.

Mother-In-Law Forcefully Grabs Grand-Baby From Its Mother, Then Demands Apology


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. 

History Memes For The Enlightened Amateur Historians


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.

Karen Customer Insists On Being Totally Unreasonable, Pays The Price


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. 

Proof That Kids Are Strange, Dumb People


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.

Tattoo Artist Uses Bathroom Seven Times, Customer Leaves Smaller Tip, Tattoo Artist Complains


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. 

Entitled People and Their Excruciating Behavior


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.

Family Complains About Pizza Sauce, Get Served Humble Pie


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.
