Entitled Coworker Keeps Stealing Desk, Alarm Clock Revenge Ensues


Entitled human beings are the bane of our existence. They come dashing out of the woodwork, and stir up all kinds of negative energy with their unyielding tidal wave of irrational demands and inconsiderate behavior. In this instance, we have a particularly insensitive coworker who feels comfortable taking what is clearly someone else's desk. Well, the dude definitely got what was coming to him. Those alarm clocks will get ya, man. Check out some more juicy revenge drama with this company that wouldn't hire an employee full time, and went on to regret it. 

Employee Realizes They Were Used In Work Plot Years Later


Work politics are weird, and having a shady figure with unclear motives is pretty much a standard boss. In this case a guy realized that his boss hadn't ignored his advice, but used it in order to prove a consultant wrong. Sort of weird and deceptive, but also clever and effective. For a boss with a more direct approach, here's a boss who used an eye gag to remove problem customers.

Downhill Skier Makes Insane Save After Crashing At 75MPH


Anyone who has ever skied knows that the sport can bring with it gnarly moments where you lose control while ripping down a slope, and wipe out like you never thought possible. Now, factor in the fact that this downhill skier was screaming down the mountain at a measly 75MPH, and then consider the fact that they were still able to make a recovery, and you've got nothing short of a miraculous event. 

Man Crashes Multimillion Dollar Yacht Into Pier


This isn't the first time we've seen someone make a complete fool of himself with a pricey new toy that he doesn't understand how to work in the first place, and we're sure it won't be the last. Clearly this guy missed memo on it being necessary to slow the boat down as you approach the pier. 

Funny Tweets To Remember Later and Chuckle Quietly


Is there a word for "observation that seems poignant in the moment and then sort of gets instantly muddled into the background noise of your head, only to pop up at the most inappropriate moment?" If not, that's kind of what tweets are. That's not a bad thing, they're fun. Balls of wit make up some of the great funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later.

Entitled Folks and Their Restless Demands


Most people have a sense of decorum, but there's always some entitled person out there who's going to make a totally unreasonable demand and then act baffled and hostile when they don't get their free ice cream or car. It can be anyone and anything. A neighbor who wants a lawnmower, an ex who wants a Netflix password; anything. Nothing gets past these entitled people with laughable boldness.

Scientific Diagrams That Look Unintentionally Hilarious


Maybe these would makes sense with a few pages of physics or psychology textbook before and after, but as is, these scientific diagrams just look like jokes. The sheer lack of context is the engine that drives forward the strangeness, but it almost seems like textbook writers wanted to make this stuff as weird as possible.

Stupid Rules That Backfired Immediately


People want order, and in any institution like work or school that's usually a good thing. The problem is, the powers that be tend to get overzealous with what kind of standards they can make people cooperate with, and you end up with great loopholes and other terrible ideas with unintended consequences. There's a delicate balance of what stupid junk people are willing to tolerate.

Karen Goes Through Angry Mental Gymnastics Over Parking Space


The parking lot can bring out the very worst in someone. People can get all kinds of nasty, territorial, and straight up entitled over a parking space. In this case, we have an angry Karen who went out of her way to hassle an employee who was just trying to start up their work day, over a parking space that was rightfully their space to begin with. With that being said, picturing the look of pure and unadulterated rage on Karen's face when the manager closed the door when she was in the middle of her temper tantrum is enough to make one's heart glow with satisfaction. 

Weird, Bad and Absurd DIY Situations


A whole lot of us have looked at some fixture in our home and thought "man, it wouldn't be too difficult to gussie that thing up a bit. I could borrow Doug's saw and crack that baby open. Maybe throw some extra pipes in there. Yeah, I could have a super toilet." Most of us who have that thought realize very soon after that it's not as easy we might think it is. The rest of us go for it and end up with some low budget DIY engineering solutions.

Ridiculous, Random and Stupendous Tumblr Gems


Get a bunch of people spewing words at each other and you're bound to catch some verbal lighting in a bottle. Whether it's people trying to remember the weirdest parts of their childhoods or complete strangers attempting to bond over extremely specific references, tumblr hits hard with the shiny tumblr gems.

Dude Accidentally Spends $800 on Wine


Like most reasonable people, we're out to find a bargain. Sadly when your brain malfunctions over exchange rates, things can get hairy. It's gotta be hard to take a sip of anything and think "well there goes the cost of a whole pizza." At least for once in your life it's probably good to do something absurd? Here are people's reckless uses of money they don't regret at all. For some worse prospects, here's some of the dumbest financial advice people gotten.

Humorous Tumblr Post Imagines College Students Living With Addams Family


Leave it to the creative and wandering minds of Tumblr to entertain the kinds of ideas the rest of the world would otherwise overlook. Like, you know, what it'd be like to live with the Addams Family as a college student. Basically, you'd be able to count on a rent-free kind of living situation that's counterbalanced by acts of constant sword fighting chaos, and some very nitpicky editors when it comes time to write your thesis. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this recent thread about the summonable evil whales of Iceland. 

Funniest Things People Have Seen In Classrooms


Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the most ridiculous things that people have witnessed in classrooms. Classrooms have an uncanny ability to bring out people's most devilish behavior. The tomfoolery very well could be a manifestation of people just getting bored out of their minds, and trying to keep themselves entertained. These might remind you of that one time you witnessed a full-fledged class clown create chaos in an otherwise peaceful classroom. 

Most Ridiculous Reasons Adults Threw Temper Tantrums


Just because you grow older and occasionally more wizened by the endless series of curveballs that life decides to throw your way doesn't mean that you're not susceptible to giving in to a full on childish temper tantrum. Sometimes, you simply wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and you hit your breaking point out of nowhere. Or, perhaps you end up being on the receiving end of a particularly irrational breakdown. Maybe you're out and about, minding your business at a grocery store, waiting in line patiently, only to end up seeing an adult completely lose themselves over an item that they thought was discounted, but come to realize is actually selling at full price. Or, better (worse?) yet, you're out driving around and realize that you're sharing the road with another driver who seems bent on making everyone else's life miserable by recklessly navigating the road with nothing but rage in their eyes.

You really never know when you're going to cross paths with someone who has ceased to maintain their grasp on peace. The moment that you witness that temper tantrum present itself though, that's when it gets very real, very quickly. It ultimately can fall on you to proactively, mindfully work to diffuse the situation as soon as possible. The thing about catching someone in the middle of a temper tantrum is that they're most often likely to lash back out at anyone and everyone that's just trying to help them settle down. Sometimes the best course of action can be to simply remove yourself from the environment altogether.

With that being said, these folks were certainly tested when they found themselves sharing space with someone who basically lost their mind for a hot second. We're not sure if the general reaction when you see one of these kinds of temper tantrums is panic, compassion, or more anger. In these tumultuous times that we all find ourselves muddling through, it seems like more than ever people are hitting their breaking limits. The world's always been a mess of chaos and life has certainly always loved to be difficult. But when you find yourself living through an era marked by historical adversity, it's particularly tough to keep that head above water and not lose sight of the fact that the hard times will give way at one point or another to just a little bit of that long sought after peace.

At the end of the day, we only hope that these adults were able to learn from their momentary temper tantrums, put the pieces back together, and crack on to do things a bit better and more calmly in the future. That's all you can really do. Just learn from the times that you weren't able to share the best version of yourself with the rest of the world. And I mean, hey, you might even be able to look back at the most ridiculous temper tantrums from a vantage point in the future that has you laughing over just how ridiculous things ended up getting.

Guy Lies To Constantly Late Wife So She Shows Up On Time


Being in an inter-punctual marriage has to be rough. No one should have to lie to their spouse in order to trick them into showing up to their graduation ceremony on time, but life is strange, and it happens. And as it turns out, it's weirdly common. For another one about an uncompromising spousal interaction, here's a picky eater husband who demanded fancier meals.

Spelling Failures That Are Hard To Put Into Words


There are a whole lot of words out there, and spelling them all correctly can be a challenge. Not only that, sometimes people just say "screw it" and come up with their own dumb and creative ways to spell things. At least they're confident about it? It results in a whole lot of regrettable and dumb spelling failures.

Motorcyclist Suddenly Becomes Stuntman


Can you imagine what must've been racing through this motorcyclist's brain when he flew through the air, after crashing into the car in front of him, and then miraculously sticks the landing like it was all part of the master plan? I'd guess nothing short of pure disbelief. He looks like he was somehow unharmed. Seriously though, what an unreal turn of events. 

Drag Racer Lands Back On Wheels After Going Airborne


It has to be bowel-emptyingly scary to realize you're in a fast-moving airborne vehicle with only a so-so chance of sticking the landing. Maybe the force of this driver's rapidly-filling underwear hitting the floor of the car provided enough downward thrust to get it back on the ground.

Creepy Moments People Have A Hard Time Explaining


As much as we'd all like to think we're perfectly rational, we're all creatures of suspicion and superstition. Sometimes we see strange events that we can't logically explain like having some weird premonition or out-of-body experience, and all we're left to do is sit there and go "alright, that was weird. People aren't going to believe this."

Inanimate Objects With A Whole Lot of Personality


Our brains are so wired to look for human faces and figures that it's not hard to see a pumpkin and determine that it's very angry. Also, it's kind of nice when a spill smiles up at you. It's like the spill itself is telling you not to worry. Things just happen to look like other things and luckily for us, most aren't terribly creepy, but you never know.

Dude Gets Hounded For Trivial Debt, Mails Them a Dime


If you owe any institution a few cents, there's a good chance they'll use their full financial apparatus to hound you until the end of days, bellowing "the cents, we demand the cents!" And as it turns out, it's pretty common for people to have to deal with paying back trivial sums of money to the faceless corporate monsters who demand them. All this revitalized debt talk is reminiscent of this tumblr user who got a scary money lesson. For some bad ideas with what to do with money, here's the dumbest financial advice people have gotten.

Bus Driver Strategically Gets Rid of Bus Zone Parkers


It's all about aligning those incentives and consequences. This bus driver was told not to pick people up outside of the designated zones, but dudes just kept parking in those zones, so naturally something had to give. When put in a no-win situation, it's time to change the game. Parking can be a big source of stress and justice, like this one where a guy teaches a lesson to a handicap spot hog.

The Largest Bullets People Dodged


As not-total-idiots, we spend a lot of time worrying about making the right decision. Sometimes we can thank ourselves for avoiding a bad situation, and sometimes it's totally up to random chance whether we dodge a huge bullet or not. Everyone has a moment in their lives that the think about "man if that had gone just slightly differently I'd be in some serious pain right now." Hindsight is 20/20 and life is just a constant act of dodging massive bullets.

Dumbest HOA Rules People Had To Deal With


A Homeowner's Association is supposed to make sure that a place is basically pleasant to live in, but many have the opposite affect. A really bad HOA is run by corrupt, power hungry people making self-serving and draconian rules about the exact hours one should take out their garbage cans. People have to deal with some real nightmare HOA situations.

History Memes For The Splendiferously Learned


Knowing history doesn't necessarily make you smarter than anyone else, but it sure feels like it. Sure it's cool to know about sweating sickness and emu wars, but it what can one do with that knowledge other than mention it to uninterested bystanders? Well, you can indulge in sweet history memes for for the ages.

Woman Complains About Computer Losing Files, Realizes She's Been Deleting Them


While none of us are really rocking the floppy disks nowadays, this tale is certainly an entertaining one. The administrative assistant in question goes on to learn that she's been wiping her files clean herself by pairing her floppy disks with a magnet. Yeah, that's a big no-no. At least the issue was resolved when it's all said and done, and she gained some "wisdom" in the process. 

Masterful Photoshop Trollings From The King James Fridman


James Fridman has made himself the de facto authority on misinterpreting people's photoshop demands, and that's a good thing. People think they want to see strangers removed from photos, small touch ups and corrections, but that's never what they get. They get what they deserve, some sweet James Fridman photoshop trolls.

Meat Eater "Friend" Tries To Sneak Meat Into Vegetarian's Meals


It sounds like Jake is in dire need of a reality check, and on top of that a serious reassessment of boundaries. The dude's out there trying to spike his vegetarian friend's meals with meat. Zero chill, my man. Regardless of whether or not you're friends with someone who has committed to being a vegetarian/vegan, you should encourage them and not try to disrupt their practice with your own self-concerned motives. 

Customer Floods Unresponsive ISP Company With Tickets


Man oh man, pro revenge meets malicious compliance in this glorious tale. We have a customer who was without internet, and unable to even get an ETA from their internet service provider. Fortunately, the frustration went on to inspire a calculated, terribly effective act of revenge on the company. We're talking about a whole lot of tickets. Armies of tickets.
