It's important to remember that sometimes movies aren't real life. A guy getting rejected at a bar and then showing up at a woman's house with a boombox at 3 am is just gonna result in the cops being called. Living on ramen isn't scrappy or fun, and being in the mob isn't a good career move for almost anyone. Here are some things that people might take more seriously if it actually happened to them. Here are someunrealistic movie details that won't stop being annoying.
What a baby. This guy, at the very least, needs a little more situational awareness. I'm hesitant to say anything that he is doing her is intentional or malicious as some commenters seem to think. I think he's just an immature idiot who can't read the room. This is made even worse by the fact that he's 30 something years old and also the fact that he is acting like this while staying over at her place.
He might be an idiot but at least he's not as big of an idiot as the guy who destroyed his girlfriend's heirloom jewelry.
There is absolutely so much going on in these stories it's hard to know where to start. From drunken best men to cheating groomsmen and all the way back again to thunder-stealing pregnant relatives. You're going to enjoy reading every one of these just as much as I did when I was putting this together.
Grab a cup of hot coffee and settle in. You're going to be reading for a while.
If you enjoy this kind of thing be sure to check out this Twitter thread about the craziest wedding fails.
Nothing ever goes perfectly smoothly. That said, there's a major difference between "not perfect" and "I sat on my toilet and it exploded, showering my bathroom and myself in toilet water and other surprises." So basically, when things go at least close to smoothly, we have to count our lucky stars that they didn't end in catastrophe, chaos and misfortune.
Nothing makes much sense these days. People are unreliable, the news is fake, Brittney is free, and we are confused. Throughout this period of confusion, we've found ourselves spending way too much time surfing the interwebs, twiddling our thumbs, and seeking out random fun facts to process and reiterate at our upcoming dinner parties. Today we came across this interesting series of random objects cut directly in half. Peculiar times call for peculiar images, let's get this bread.
It seems like this "coach" didn't like the idea of another qualified professional being able to give coworkers direction within their job, and decided that things like "help" and "advice" aren't acceptable in the workplace. To everyone's complete and utter surprise, that wasn't a very good idea, and this coach had to find another team. For another fun one, here's a manager who demanded all personal phone calls go through them.
How many of you guys have been racking up the food delivery receipts throughout this whole work-from-home international pandemic time period? We're not too ashamed to admit that we have personally gotten to know the DoorDash drivers who work in our area, in depth. Along with Chinese take out, we've been inundating ourselves with all things comedy.
Because despite the hard times, we still appreciate the little things that make us smile. Like for example this magnificent Twitter thread featuring the most unflattering images that DoorDash delivery drivers uploaded of costumers to confirm delivery receipt. Laugh away, carry on.
This ridiculous collection of the top 25 crappy off brands of 2021 is a gathering of the best posts of the r/crappyoffbrands subreddit. User submission and voting has determined these top, most-ridiculous posts of the year.
The existence of these products is astonishing and absurd. Imagine being the guy who was tasked with creating the abomination of the "Heroes All in One" statue. Every day that you are moulding, sculpting, and painting your absurd creation you go to bed faced with the knowledge that you're responsible for this Cronenberg creation.
Doggo loving date seeking women everywhere, you might just find yourself relating to OP's dating site debacle. OP is a young single woman, a doggo owner, and a dating site user. And she is sick and tired of men using pictures of pets (that are not theirs!) on their dating profiles. Did someone say false advertising?? Yes, we did. False. Advertising.
We feel for OP, obviously as a dog lover it's a major thumbs up moment when you see a guy featuring a doggo on his dating profile. One would assume that if a person chooses to prominently feature a pet in their dating profile, that the pet is probably theirs. Right? Apparently, wrong. In our opinion, lying on your dating profile is a definite red flag because that's what this is- a lie. They're pretending they have a dog when, in fact, they don't, and might not even like dogs or pets. Not cool, dudes.
Searching for a job can be rough, especially when there are certain employers out there looking for literally impossible amounts of experience and expect you to suck on our boss's fingers for the opportunity to make minimum wage. Here were some people's more absurd employment woes when it came to finding a job or just dealing with the one they have. For a wild story of questionable employers, here's an employee who went nuclear and posted their employer's business details after getting fired for being injured.
Someone is getting coal in their stocking this year and it's definitely not going to be these teachers who have managed to comply with every letter of the school's requirement. It's not their fault the consultant didn't want to attend the meeting at 11 pm on Christmas Eve!
Honestly though, what is going on with our education system? This field is so important but so incredibly undervalued. Maybe instead of hiring 'consultants', you should just increase the wages of the staff you already have?
Just a thought.
For some more nutritious, delicious, malicious, compliance... Check out this guy who complied with every word of his manager's request when he was told that they "Didn't Care How He Did His Job and to Just Do It"
For some reason, our eyes just cannot handle a little bit of forced perspective. Looking at something the wrong way, our brains would rather tell us, "obviously that man is 40 feet tall" or "without a doubt, that cat has a human butt for a face." It might take us a few moments to suss out these double take moments of warped perspective, but before we figure it out, "whoa, it's crazy that lady has 3 arms."
I think commenters are right on this one. These in-laws aren't traditional. They're hateful and cruel. Whether or not she had brought a salad they would have found some reason to take offense to her existence. I can't believe how hard they are making this for her. Like how hard is it to prepare something, anything that doesn't have meat in it? It's a bloody salad, Karen and Ken. It's not going to kill you.
Her husband sounds like he has done a pretty good job of supporting her. But he needs to really stand his ground for her like this husband who went off on his entitled brother-in-law.
Life can get sort of repetitive, and sometimes it helps to look at your empty toaster and think "can this be done better?" Lo and behold, we've got this guy reloading his smoke detector, his vacuum and more, complete with a HUD and complementary sound effects. If only we could do all of our household chores Call of Duty style.
The private yard waste disposal company decided that this guy should get a fine for having some twigs extending past the usual limit, so he decided it would be fair to take some days off and really push those dimensions to their maximum extent. We can only applaud the level of pettiness and focus it takes to do hours of yard work just to prove a point. For another tale of well-measured intervention, here's the grandpa whose mailbox loophole brought mail into the third dimension.
Don't get us wrong, there are some absolutely terrific reasons people didn't go on a second date, but the weird thing about relationships is that sometimes a person being a completely psychotic mess might not be as big a deal-breaker to some as say, buttering corn on the cob the wrong way. Sure, something as small as liking Disney movies too much could be an indicator of a greater problem, but these people even didn't stick around to find out.
These people are the "crème de la crème" or the very best that society has to offer. It's hard to believe where we would be without these people dragging down one end of the bell curve. Who knows, we might have even succeeded in colonizing the rest of the solar system at this point. There could be Astral Gates allowing us for quick travel amongst the planets and various routes to satellites and other colonized celestial bodies. Undoubtedly, there would be mysterious space truckers along these routes and dastardly bounty hunters making a living capturing outlaws on the run.
I digress. Enjoy these idiots. May their shocking idiocy brighten your day.
There's nothing quite like dissociating from your life for a few moments with the help of other people's errant thoughts and foibles, so why not take some time with a few ridiculous, random and stupendous Tumblr gems? The people of Tumblr can be consumed by anything from bees to Saturday morning cartoons, so naturally its a grab bag of observations and opinions. Seriously, these people will split hairs down to the follicle.
We've all had moments where we see something so cartoonish or implausible that we just know that almost no one is gonna believe us when we bring it up. The hole-in-ones and the royal flushes of the world often happen when there's almost no one looking, and we have to just hold on to those moments, brimming with anticipation for the opportunity to tell someone "dude I actually saw that in real life it was flippin' crazy." Here are some rare and well-timed moments that went against the odds.
There is a lot to unpack with this one and it's ice-cold on both sides. Ultimately, I'd tend to agree that this dejected twin is NTA for his actions. He has experienced a lot of hurt and expected his twin sister to stand by his side.
Typically, when someone cheats and betrays someone on this level, you would hope that others would take a second look at their relationships with that person and reevaluate. Yeah, it sucks for the twin sister to have to lose a friend but she should lose that friend over this. That person betrayed someone that she shared a womb with. It should be goodbye. Adios. No second chances.
I can understand that feeling of betrayal and what this guy must have felt when he saw that photo. His actions are ice-cold but well within reason.
It's always terrible to see rifts like this grow between siblings. Take these sisters who had a falling out when the elder sister wouldn't pay for her younger sister's grad school.
Well, all's well that ends well I suppose.
Looks like this guy, reddit user throwRAhelp577 has managed to get his cards back and justice has been served on the ex-girlfriend and her cousin.
I can't imagine the feeling of having something that you have loved and cultivated so dearly for so many years suddenly ripped away from you. The collection of Pokemon cards may be valued at $6000 but let's get real here... The time and energy that went into creating that collection is irreplaceable and utterly invaluable.
Here's to hoping that he sees his cards in the next few days and this can finally be put to rest!
Being a barista has to be weird. You have the rare experience of seeing people before their first coffee of the day, which is to say, you see them when they're at their worst. And naturally, when you have to serve people who are still trying to deal with the fact that they currently have to reside in reality for the next 16-ish hours, the order get weird. These anecdotes gave birth to a more moody re-imagining of a particularly heavy coffee order. For more like this, here's alaughable Tumblr exchange that got turned into a comedic Shakespearean aside.
Well, that ended up costing him a little more than $400. He probably could have carpeted the entire room for the amount that this little maneuver ended up costing him. Although, I can't pretend that I am any sort of expert on how much it costs to redo flooring these days.
Unfortunately, he's more than likely to just recoup this money with all the other BS reasons he's coming up with to keep other tenant's deposits.

The ol' dihydrogen monoxide gag has been a mainstay of internet culture and beyond for years. The only thing better than that first aha moment of getting it the first time is duping other people with it. This person takes it a step further with their 7th grade class. For some serious teacher cleverness, here's a teacher who used gummy bears to fight the power.
If you have skeletons hanging out in your closet, it's probably best to not make it your personal mission to get an employee terminated over a whole bunch of nonsense. In this case, the employee did a little research on their old senior manager after being fired, and ended up learning that the senior manager had a bit of a troubled, secret past. Suffice to say, that was it for the senior manager, and the employee ended up being offered their gig.
Food is one of the great joys of life. But when it goes wrong, cursed food can quickly become one of its great terrors. Sometimes we eat stuff that sucks to be polite guests, sometimes we don't realize what we're eating is gonna be bad, and sometimes we're just stupid. At least when it's over we have new insight on the worst things we've tasted.
It's hard for many of us to consider spending an entire paycheck on a cake or an ice maker, but when you think of all the money you spend on things that you don't even remember, maybe it's worth it to have a pleasant memory. While these ended up being decent expenses, some people get some extremely bad financial advice that is irredeemable. It'd be nice to have a taste of these absurdly expensive things people witnessed.
As human beings, we're all very familiar with dumb moments of failure and stupidity. People do and say stupid things as if it's their job. Whether it's arguing with Buzz Aldrin about the moon landing or getting keys stuck in an armored car, the bar lowers every day for facepalm moments from humanity's best and brightest.
This is probably a deal breaker. To go for two years without divulging something as big as your living expenses to your partner is just a level of broken trust that I just can't see a relationship recovering from. He has every right here to walk away without regrets. It must really hurt to realize that your partner was secretly wealthy and just pretending to commiserate with you the entire time you were struggling on unemployment.
Honestly sounds like something that could be covered in a modern Seinfeld episode and not for good reasons. Totally the AH here.
Not quite as bad as this entitled girlfriend though: Wealthy-Entitled Classist Girlfriend Thinks It's Ok to Wear Little-To-No Clothing Around Her Staff, Doesn't Care if She is Making Them Uncomfortable
It's easy to overlook a potentially destructive error. Any one of us could have accidentally installed that toilet in the center of a room or chose Disney font for a funeral home. Okay, maybe most of us would haven't let that slide, but we all know someone who would. There are a fair share of design failures that deserve some blame.
