Mother-In-Law Won't Stop Comparing Man To Doctor Ex, Gets Shut Down


This woman's mom still hasn't accepted the fact that her daughter isn't married to a doctor. And apparently she takes every chance she gets to tell this guy that he's not a perfect, wonderful rich doctor. It was obvious that she needed to get her priorities straight, so this guy fired back a nice insult that straightened them out for her. Now that's a nice slam dunk akin to this brother who decimated his brother with a sick burn at his wedding.

In the end, people pointed out the obvious. Particularly, that this woman never should have tolerated her mom being a complete bag to her husband, and the fact that it got like this in the first place is sort of her fault, thus earning her, OP, the title of asshole.

For some more out of control in-laws, here's the mother-in-law who announced a couple's pregnancy before they themselves told anyone and then refused to delete it.

Entitled Coworker Thinks That Her Leave is More Important Because She Has Kids, Tries to Guilt Trip Coworker Into Giving Her Booked Leave


What is it with people thinking they are god's gift to the earth just for having children? All they did was the thing that everyone wants to do and then did the other thing that literally all of their ancestors have done resulted from it. 

Having the kids might be hard work… but making it happen is almost too easy. It makes you wonder why we keep seeing stories like this where parents think that their time is more important than their coworkers just because they have kids at home. Sorry Patricia. My Friday night is just as important as yours… even if you spend yours changing dirty diapers and I spend mine running Sunwell with my guild. After all, Kil'Jaeden isn't going to defeat himself. 

It really makes you wonder whether this coworker has any shame at all. They just assume that their time with their family is automatically more important than whatever it is that their coworker is doing. 

 

Nostalgic Memes And Images To Conjure The Before-Times


There was a time when TVs were barrel-chested. When video game graphics were chunkier than salsa. Those were the days when going on a bike ride really meant something. The days when you didn't have to do laundry, and didn't feel like a sack of trash for just sitting on the couch all day playing N64. The days when you could just sit on the floor with Legos. And try as we might, we can all but grasp those feelings we had living utterly uncomplicated lives.

We want it back. But it's just all so far away. Now all we can do is listen to Evanescence and try playing old video games, but man it's just not the same. When did all these games get so hard? We couldn't possibly be losing it? That would be impossible. No, it's Mario. He's just gotten older and slower. He did this.

Here are some powerful images of sensory nostalgia.

Entitled Mother Yells at Blind Woman For Accidentally Hitting Child With Her Cane, Calls Her a Liar, Takes Cane Away From Her


Whew. That is an absolute doozy of a title. There's a lot to unpack here.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/entitledparents subreddit by the blind woman in the story, Reddit user u/HecateNocturne. The post went viral after it was posted and sits as one of the most upvoted posts of all time on the subreddit. 

In this thread u/HecateNocturne tells the story of a time when she was confronted by an unhinged mother who became upset at her when she accidentally struck her child with her cane. The mother became enraged and called her a liar, claiming that she couldn't be blind because she wasn't wearing sunglasses. She then proceeded to take the cane from the woman for the child to play with before a kind bystander intervened to help.

It's really hard to believe that there are actually people out there in the world who behave like this. They just go about their business being pieces of human garbage and yet face relatively little, if any, consequence.

 

25 Blursed Images From This Strange Plane Of Existence


There is a time for blessed images, and there is, uh rarely a time for cursed images. But the blursed images of the world are something that fall in between, like an unskilled ice climber slipping into a crevasse. With a dash of creepy and a smattering of weird, it's unclear what you're ever really going to get when something is blursed.

There are no limits to the world of blursedom, no matter how much one thinks that there maybe should be. Will it be a guy with a really tall hat trying his hardest to dunk? Could be. Will it be a dog with a man's face? Maybe? There's probably one of those around her somewhere. When perusing the blursed, the one thing that can always be found is a good time. So bring that positive mental attitude and be rewarded for looking at some deep-into-the-internet high quality crap.

Bold Pizza Delivery Guy Slips Private Note Under Woman's Door, Her Jealous Boyfriend Gets Him Fired


Does this guy sound jealous and insecure to you?

Don't get me wrong… Protecting your girlfriend (or any woman) from the unwanted advances of a creepy guy who doesn't know boundaries is the right thing to do. But it doesn't sound like this boyfriend had any idea what his girlfriend's relationship with this guy was. Not to mean that she has any sort of romantic relationship with this chap… But the boyfriend could definitely be overstepping if she is routinely friendly with him to the point that the delivery guy had a right to be concerned when there was suddenly a strange man in her apartment. If that's what the delivery guy was thinking… then he was doing exactly what the boyfriend thought he was doing: Protecting a woman from a creepy stranger. 

If the girlfriend was concerned about the driver's behavior then the boyfriend is completely right for his actions that followed. But, if he's just being jealous and completely overstepping and encroaching on his partner's relationships with other people, then he is just an insecure a-hole.

Twitter User Explains The Creation Of The Greatest Union, The Totwaffle


Waffles and tater tots inhabit very similar realms of fandom. They're simply foods that people are passionate about. Maybe it's the comfortable, almost nostalgic nature of these food items that give them deeper meaning. Maybe it's because they both have silly names.

Here we were, content in our own little world where tater tots and waffles hardly ever met, save for the odd breakfast buffet where someone couldn't be bothered to prep some hash browns.

But the culinary world is all about self expression and change, so naturally these two worlds of tot and waffle would be combined and perfected. Turns out it's really not that hard to smoosh a bunch of tater tots into a waffle iron, but the pomp and circumstance surrounding it is really what we crave. Also it looks very crispy, and that's a definite plus.

Here are some humorous and heinous food memes to pack that gullet.

Customer Refuses To Acknowledge Water Guy's Concerns, Gets House Flooded


Having hundreds of gallons of water pumped into your house is a lot like a relationship, in that communication is key. This customer didn't want to have a free alarm installed, and when told they might be mistaken, insisted on having their totally-not-empty water tank filled up again. As it so happens, they refused to listen to any expertise on the subject and ended up with a living room filled with 800 gallons of cool, refreshing water.

Extreme water damage is something that we wish upon almost no one, but if this customer had made even the slightest effort to fully understand what was happening under their own roof, they wouldn't have ended up living in a lake. Who is there to blame when you repeatedly demand to have your house flooded? It's not like this was even the easiest way to go about things. There was a procedure they could have followed, but apparently lions don't concern themselves with the standard operating procedures of water delivery.

For another fun customer interaction, here's the employee who reversed a customer's coin revenge by counting it all out.

Insane Mother Demands Cancer Patient's Bus Seat For Her Child, Assaults Him, Assaults Police Officer, Gets Arrested


A cancer patient was riding the bus home from his chemotherapy appointment when he was accosted by a raging karen on the bus. This entitled individual demanded his seat, called him a "skinhead POS" and started screaming at him. She then proceeded to assault him and then a police officer before being arrested and escorted off. Talk about an insane escalation of events. 

This incredible story was posted to the r/entitledparents subreddit where it stands as one of the most upvoted posts of all time on that sub. u/BigusSpekus tells the tale of the time that he was assaulted by a Karen on the bus and witnessed her getting arrested by a convenient cop. His relatively active account has since gone inactive as of the writing of the post so all we can do is hope that things worked out for the best for him with his treatment.

Read on for the full story below. It's a hell of a ride.

Jerk Sister Kills Brother's Bird While Housesitting, Demands Payment Anyways


When you have to leave your home for an extended period, whether a family emergency or an extended vacation, it's nice to know that you have someone you can rely on to take care of things around your home. Usually, your most significant concern would be your pets, but there's always the house plants and the garden to take care of. Heck, even having someone around to keep an eye on the place can bring you priceless peace of mind. 

It's devastating to return home and find that things haven't been taken care of as you had envisioned. Suddenly, that vacation seems a little bit less worthwhile. Now, you have to deal with replanting the garden or replacing your favorite plant… and plants can get surprisingly expensive (Have you heard of "tree law"?) Even worse still is coming home and suddenly having to mourn the loss of a beloved pet, as this poor lad had to.

Nothing will bring that bird back but, forget paying her; she should be paying compensation for her negligence.

Door-Licking Dog Might Be A Genius, Or He Just Likes Licking Doors


We can never be too sure of what's going on in the minds of our pets. We've got some pretty good ideas about it, like this dog who herded a lawn roomba or this tumblr thread about cats with Victorian accents. But before we can hook them up to a machine with a pasta-strainer helmet and ask them about it, we're left with our own observations and theories.

In this case, it looks like the dog has figured out the connection between "doors" and "outside" but the idea of "which door goes outside" seems to have dropped outside of its conceptual framework. What is left with a dog who will lick a door, any door, if he wants to go for a walk. Perhaps it was born out of convenience? Maybe he's onto something? Is this a moment of stark dog brilliance or just misplaced confusion? Maybe the answer is "well he's a dog."

Woman Skips Mother's 5th Wedding For Job Interview, Internet Supports It


Sometimes life presents us with two paths. And sometimes those choices almost make themselves. Should we stifle our own personal growth because someone close to us assures us that this is definitely gonna be the one that sticks? It seems unlikely. And it's a good time to affix one's thinking cap.

Attend another one of your mom's weddings? Or go to a possibly-life changing job interview? Only one has the possibility to actually alter your life in a positive way. Plus, it seems like if you've been to four out of five of your mom's weddings, that number isn't so bad.

As many commenters astutely pointed out, it's not like this will be the last one anyway. It's basically just a countdown to the next one.

But this is far from the most ludicrous circumstances people have found themselves judging someone's marital status. Here are some of the trashiest wedding people attended.

Funny Times People And Things Got Singled Out With Or Without Reason


Most days we manage to fly under the radar of the universe. A good day is when nothing catastrophically bad happens or when no one puts your name on a billboard and calls you an "ass bastard sack of crap." But that's just most days. There are some days when the universe finds us. And like a magnet for ridicule, we are told in no uncertain terms by the world that we suck. 

And no one is immune to the scathing, red hyper-critical eye of life itself. Your just desserts could come in the form of a fly in your soup. A toilet through your windshield. An uncatchable nude man covered in grease coming to ruin your barbeque. But very often, it's a personalized sign telling everyone that you're not allowed to have ice cream. And that stings.

Here are some more humorously absurd times people and things got singled out.

People Share The Most Terrifically Trashy Weddings They've Attended


Depending on who you ask, weddings are either the "most special day" of someone's life, or they're a "massive waste of time and resources, only matched by funerals." Whatever your personal opinion on them, most of us can agree that being a guest at a wedding is a pretty fun time. It's almost always nice to see your friends and family enter a new stage of their life, and there's usually dancing and free drinks.

Weddings are expensive, and "trashy" doesn't inherently mean cheap. Inexpensive weddings are often awesome because the bride and groom typically actually love each other.

But some of us out there are bound to drop the ball on the big day. Be it a failure to prepare, or a failure to keep your shady aunt from running away with the gifts. There are weddings where, by the end, you're left shrugging and going "hey, at least they got married."

Sometimes you get dinner and a show, like this time a brother stood up for his brother's ex and absolutely demolished him during his best man's speech.

Two-Part Story: Boss Fires Employee in Cruel April Fool's Prank, Employee Complains, Boss Gets Fired For Real


This boss must have attended the "Michael Scott School of Business Management" because this is a joke taken right out of his playbook and, just like Michael Scott, he let this joke go on for way too long. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit on the evening of April Fool's day this week. The poster u/--Savathun-- tells the story of the cruel prank that their boss pulled on them but telling them, in a manner that seemed completely serious, that they were fired when they came in on the morning of April 1st. The boss watched as they took several hours to collect their things, destroy personal documents, and then head out the door on their way home. Then, and only then, did the boss reveal that it had been a prank. 

This employee wasn't having any of it and decided to file grievances against the boss.

We overlooked it earlier this week which is why this is only coming together now. Luckily, in that time, the OP posted t update that details the fallout from the prank and the sweet taste of victory and just desserts. 

This Update post starts on item 9 and follows the original post and comments.

The Last Thoughts People Had When They Believed They Were About To Die


Being alive, we spend a much of our time and energy concerned with staying that way. Every one of us has had a close call, or a time when we thought "man, if things had gone just a bit differently, I might not be around to melodramatically wax philosophical on this." Death is scary, in fact it's pretty much the root of all fear. Which makes it interesting to hear about what was going through people's minds when they were very realistically facing their own mortality up close.

It seems like, based on the nature of the event of your seemingly impending breakup with life, there's something of an equal chance that you'll have a kind of resigned "so this is how it happens" response, or a very sentimental "I wish I could see my loved ones one last time" sort of thing. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, when turning around to see a speeding train bearing down on you, your last conscious thought could just as easily be "Yowie Zowie! That's a Spicy Meat-a-Ball!"

For some stories of terror and intrigue, here are freaky close calls people somehow avoided.

Husband On Anesthesia Calls For His Mother, Wife Takes It Personally And Leaves


This fine individual was shocked that her husband, just out of surgery and with his brain clouded with anesthesia, would have the sheer audacity to call for his mom. "How dare he do this to me. Why does this always happen to me." she thought, from the waiting room.

Instead of thinking about the situation for like a second, she decided the best course of action would be to take the ramblings of her barely-conscious husband to heart, and leave him at the hospital.

Upon going to the internet to get some support for her behavior, the internet reminded her, fairly unkindly, that she might actually be part of the problem. What a revelation. Hope that this woman can get over the jealousy she has for her mother-in-law. 

Imagine waking up from surgery to find that your significant other is pissed about what you did. It's like a reversal variation of the "I had a dream where you cheated and now it's your fault."

For another bout of hospital drama, here's the jerk husband who allowed his mother-in-law to secretly visit their newborn against his wife's wishes.

Entitled Dude Won't Remove Hand From Bus Seat, Pregnant Lady Just Sits On It


There's a type of person who, given even the smallest amount of power, will grab and hold onto that with all their might, even if their claim to it rests only in their mind. There's no reasoning with this kind of person, because they're pathologically incapable of understanding that another person could benefit from say, having a seat on the bus. They would rather keep their fallacious claim to that seat, feeling none of the shame that they ought to over being a pain to everyone around them. And for the most part, we let them do it because it's easier to let someone live in their world of illusion than it is to get in a fight on the bus.

Everyone knows that you don't get dibs on the seat next to you on a packed bus. Well, everyone except this guy. Maybe he thought he could impose his will with only his hand? His disrespect for the law of the bus was not going to go unchallenged

Challenges over territory are as old as time. Here's the riveting adventure of an entitled mom who took a stranger's seat and didn't understand why he was upset.

Women Share Serious Red Flags For Dating Women


Being involved with the wrong person can completely ruin your life. If you don't believe that, walk around an Ikea on a Sunday at 4 pm. You only need to hear enough arguments about "if the Malm will suit our needs" to realize that after this, someone is gonna end up sleeping on the Ektorp for a week.

But it's not like there aren't warnings that every person throws off for months and years before you choose to staple your life to theirs. In that time, everyone will let their red flags fly. All it takes is an astute capacity for observation to fully realize if this person is just the absolute worst. To help look for the joy-robbing features of a potential ex-wife or girlfriend, here are signs from women about other women that just about anyone will find helpful.

And if you start to notice that you're the kind of person who does the things featured here, know that these people are right, and that you are going to have to take responsibility for your actions, despite your pathological incapability to see that, Cheryl.

For some more turmoil, here are ways people found out their ex was cheating.

Father Enacts Brutal Revenge On Creepy Neighbors When They Are Caught Spying On Children


These bizarrely paranoid and creepy neighbors were caught doing their usual rounds of spying on anyone close to the edge of their property. They were spying on the kids while the kids were playing and had been for what seemed to be some time. So the kids ran to tell the father, and he hit the roof. Enough was enough.

This thread was posted to r/pettyrevenge by one of the children in the story, u/FireRump, because of the "eye for an eye" style of revenge that the father exacted on the deserving neighbors. The post tells the tale of how he got even with the neighbors by fencing off a perimeter of their property and propagating it with blackberry bushes so that they would provide a barrier from the neighbor's tomfoolery. 

There's nothing better than seeing these creeps get their just desserts. Chalk this one up as a win for dad.

Deranged Mother-In-Law Announces Couple's Pregnancy On Facebook Before They've Told Anyone, Refuses to Delete It


An expecting mother found herself having to plead with her mother-in-law to take down a social media post when the mother-in-law posted about their pregnancy before they were ready to announce it to their family and friends. Despite rational and polite arguments initially, the mother-in-law "Kristi' still refused to take the post down.

The mother, Reddit user u/Nalas_ofthe_balas, posted screenshots of the text conversation between her and her mother-in-law. They were posted to the aptly named r/insaneparents Reddit sub, where they went BIG for the relatively small sub, earning sixteen thousand upvotes and making it onto the "best of" r/all page. 

Kristi needs an attitude adjustment and needs to learn to step in line if she wants to continue being a part of this family and ever seeing that grandkid once it is born. 

Commenters are predictably outraged and have put the mother-in-law to the torch. Users are suggesting cutting the mother-in-law off entirely suggesting things like, "Make sure she finds out about the birth on Facebook, for sure."

The mother responded that "Literally feel like doing this but feel bad for my partner 😔."

She was told by one user, EyeDocBassPlayet, "Don't do shit like this via text. Ever. Pick up the phone and talk to them." To which she replied, "Tried. Partner called multiple times. Got her sister involved to try to reason with her. Hung up on several times and told to f#*k off. Sister was told it was none of her business. Which was ironic considering.. well.. the obvious."

 

Internet Outraged At Insane Sign With the Audacity to Demand That Workers Pay For Water


Hello, to my fellow drinkers of water and breathers of air! May your inhales be gaseously adequate and your glasses of water be slightly cooler than room temperature. 

Today's post is brought to you by yet more water drinkers who gathered together online to express collective outrage at this sign that had the audacity to demand that workers pay for water. The thread was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit, a worker's collective of sorts, where the post went viral. 

Reddit users were outraged at the sign and took liberties with the bizarre wording featured on it. Thanks, Sandra, very cool. 

"Hello Air Breather," one user, ocooper08, remarked in reference to the sign's greeting.

Others were more supportive of the sign and offered reasonable explanations for why the sign, and water tank, might be there. One user, SloppyMeathole, offered the following explanation:

"In all fairness, this is probably a government office where they are literally not allowed to purchase you water. It's considered a waste of public money as there is tap water. If the tap water is gross the employees all kick in and split the cost of a water club. $5 a month is a lot cheaper than buying your own water and a lot more convenient than lugging it in yourself."

"An actual Amish person listening to Amish Paradise, where do we even go from here?"

Employee Exacts Revenge, Becomes Ultra-Efficient to Raise KPI Averages After Boss Changes His Schedule, No One Gets a Raise


This employee had his private life turned on its head when his new supervisor decided to change his schedule so that he had to come in an hour later (and therefore leave an hour later.) This impeded the arrangement that he had with their wife for childcare. When approached about this issue, the supervisor remarked, "That's what babysitters are for."

This thread was posted to r/MaliciousCompliance by Reddit user u/PickleLips64151. He posted the thread titled, "Supervisor wouldn't let me come in one hour early, so I worked hard enough that she and the entire sector didn't get raises that year. Which meant they were 5% behind peers for salary for the rest of their careers." which tells the story of dastardly malicious compliance that they pulled on a "slug" supervisor that left the supervisor earning "between $5k-$8k less than her peers for the rest of her career."

This savage tale definitely strays into the realm of "petty" or "pro" revenge since the result has devastating real-world consequences for the targets—Bravo to u/PickleLips64151 for this brutal story.

Guy Fieri Memes To Get But A Taste Of Flavortown


Guy Fieri has graced pop culture with his uncompromising, no frills, hard-hitting food journalism for years now, and it doesn't seem like he's ever gonna stop.

And here are some food memes to satiate our deep hunger for laughter.

Street Smart Tips To Help Stay Safe Out There


At the end of the day, almost all of us are just trying to get where we're going and mind our own business. Anyone's daily goals should include minimal intervention from furious weirdos on the street. Live in a larger city long enough and it becomes second nature to not draw attention to yourself, because for the most part, not too many people look back fondly on fights they've had with strangers.

You can never be too sure what's going through another person's mind, and it can be really easy to make yourself look like a target, so living by the mantra of "I didn't see anything, I'll be on my way now" is a great way to not find yourself being punched in the face on the bus because you didn't want to let a screaming man borrow your phone. But hey, you never know, so it still might happen anyway. Here are people's tips to help decrease the likelihood of that happening.
