However decent people are most of the time, we still live in a world where someone will try to charge 2 grand for the privilege of getting to tear down their bathroom and get rid of their tiles.

If this guy hadn't tried to soft-rob his ex, he might just have some dish soap left, but nah, he got big about it and ended up with a totally empty apartment.

It's amazing how quickly stupid tasks become irrelevant the moment it starts costing the company money. The powers that be came down and told this part-timer that they'd have to check their email daily, so naturally, for this employee, it seemed like that should count on company time. For another one, here's a micromanager who demanded too many updates, so an employee fought back with even more updates.
As people who have to pay rent and feed ourselves, our tolerance for meaningless work BS is directly related to how effectively that BS helps us not starve. Work is weird and stupid, but highly necessary, so it helps to have some work memes for the hustle as well as the bustle.

It only makes sense that such a disorganized employer would try to pull some absurd BS to fire someone, then get nailed by their own disorganization. Citing the very same NDA they signed with that former employer, This person somehow managed to make things hard for them in the loopholiest way possible. Speaking of NDAs, here are people with expired non-disclosure agreements explaining what they had to keep quiet.

Times can get weird, hard, and disappointing. Everyone is very well aware of that. That's why it's okay to have a reminder that people aren't terrible everywhere. Almost everyone has the common goals of being happy and building connections. Wholesome memes can provide a boost in what can seem like an otherwise unforgiving world.

And also, if someone tells you that they're allergic to MSG, ask them if they eat Doritos. To fill your head with better junk, here are some strange scientific facts to ponder.
There are some times when the bullet sorta dodges itself. Most people would agree that accepting a drink from a stranger while you're on a date with someone else is a bit of an indicator that you don't have the same priorities at heart.

Every now and again the wonderful wandering minds of the Tumblr world band together to take us down wild rabbit holes we never saw coming.

For some true review justice, here's the guy who left a lying review and got banned when the owner stood up for staff.
Dad jokes are a source of stupid glee and pinch-faced frustration for anyone who dares face a dad.

Dad jokes have a tendency to go full dad joke.
Having 5 kids in the year 2021 with a wife who also has a full-time job means that you're probably going to have to do some laundry.

Is it petty and a little childish to respond to a ding dong ditching kid by drenching them with a bucket of water? Kinda, yeah. Is it extremely effective and satisfying? Also yeah.

Man. Sibling rivalry is a thing that I probably bring up pretty frequently on here. Any one of us who has grown up with siblings has experienced it in some form or another.

Since we haven't contacted actual aliens, all we can really do is lean on imagining our place in the universe. The flattering consensus is that humans are space orcsand we live on a death planet where invading aliens could be fought off by bears. Writing like this is a convenient way to feel nice about the finer points of human curiosity and social proclivities, especially when we're a character placed in space like this Tumblr thread imagining a human on a Vulcan ship.
Everyone has this idea of some kind of perfect dream job like "pilot" or "tiger psychologist" or "bakery owner in a small New England town" and as it turns out, there are downsides to each and every one of those things. Maybe the reality of the situation is that even if you do what you love, you still have to deal with every little thing that surrounds it, and people don't like the minutia. Okay, back pain, disrespect and low pay also objectively suck. Here are some reasons people quit their jobs on the spot.
There's no limits to the incredible demands of entitled folks. It could be anything like demanding that their hairstylist not have tattoos, requesting that people pay for the privilege's of taking their garbage or offering "jobs" that pay about a dollar an hour.

Gotta admit, jacking a car up with a plastic chair doesn't really seem worth it.
Under certain circumstances, we have the right to ask our friends to accommodate us.

Nothing brings the family together like the holidays! And nothing instigates drama quite like large families gathering together in one small place. This Thanksgiving, instead of wishing each other a jolly good time and fall cheer, this family wishes that the thanksgiving dinner host would board his dog so they don't have to be around him, while they stay at the host's home, for free.
What's wrong with this picture? Well, a lot of things. To start with, let's talk about entitlement! WHO in their right mind would ask someone who is offering them a free place to stay out of the kindness of their hearts, to board their beloved dog all for their own personal benefit. Yeah, it's a no from us, and Reddit users overwhelmingly agreed. A big dose of NTA.

At any given dark time, we could be just a few wholesome grandmas away from feeling a little better, so it's better to see if that works first. Here are some more wholesome memes because everyone needs a nice break.
We love to see blatant liars get caught up in their dishonest antics. This couple decided to weave a lie for the purpose of cutting in line at a baseball game. First of all, people who cut in line are the worst. Second, the way that this couple's lie ended up catching up with them is pure gold. The look of disbelief and rage that danced across their faces must've been a truly wonderful spectacle to behold.
So in a moment of terrific judgement, this dude's ex took her dog to an animal shelter thinking she was gaming the system on free dog care. Predictably, a dog like hers was adopted instantly.

For some more wild dog stuff, here's the Karen who didn't believe a blind woman and tried taking her guide dog.
Existence is strange. There are so many moments all of us seem to encounter in our lives where things simply just don't add up. It can end up feeling like you're straight up witnessing a glitch in the matrix. Maybe you end up sharing that glitchy moment with another human being, who also can't explain the occurrence. Well, all we can do is shrug it off, and accept the fact that there will always be those strange moments lurking right around the corner that we'll never be able to explain through the lens of a rational mind.
