20+ Embarrassing Family & Wedding Photo Fails

They say a picture's worth a thousand words. These photos certainly speak for themselves. Picture this: you've got your family all gathered for a photo. All the cousins who don't want to be there, all the aunts and uncles who actually do want to be there, and all the grandparents who aren't quite sure where they are. You get everyone in a cute formation and you're ready to get that one photo that will mark the event, whether it's a wedding or, you know, a Holiday weekend like the one we're struggling to get through as we speak. Just as the camera is about to capture the moment, something unexpected happens. The dog goes wild, the child wails, the bride trips and spills a drink all over her wedding dress, I could go on. If something like this has ever happened to you, then you're going to feel for these families. For more content like this, check out these car fails.

'I see her putting on the tight, less nice dress': Couple gets into argument over dress code for a work event

Now, all dress codes are dumb, but this guy may have actually been in the right. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/ProfessorBotanist, who shared that he (a Latinx trans male professor) was invited to a work event for the fall quarter and was allowed to bring his fiancé (a cis white woman from a far wealthier background). 

 

The identities in this story are significant since the Redditor pointed out the various micro-aggressions he experiences at work. You get the sense that this was an important event for him, and an anxiety-inducing one too. Which is why when his fiancé gave him two options for her dress and then refused to listen to his recommendation for the more formal option, he got upset. It's his event after all, and there's already a lot of baggage attached to it. He doesn't need her to make things more uncomfortable for him as well Sometimes, being a good partner actually does mean sucking it up and just being supportive. Who knew?!

Absolutely Tragic Turkey Fails That Are So Terrible That They'll Make You Go Vegan on Thanksgiving (November 23, 2022)

'Schrodinger's pet:' Internet divided over mysterious animal-shaped Christmas ornament

Every so often, something mildly controversial will blow up the entire internet for a few days. Like "The Dress," the blue and white/black and gold dress debacle, in which different people saw a differently colored dress, and then proceeded to argue about it and create memes about it for quite some time. Well, here is the latest slightly controversial internet item! This mysterious Christmas ornament was presented to the internet on r/mildlyinfuriating, with a simple premise: is this ornament a cat or a dog?

It sounds so simple! But with the pointy ears and tiny tail, no one can quite figure out if this golden decoration is canine or feline. Take a look for yourself, and see what the commenters had to say below.

'Don't ruin it like everything else in your life': 20+ relatable fails for self-deprecating "adults"

It's hard being a horrible adult. Trust me. We understand and know this experience all too well. You have a long-running list of all the things you need to do to get your act together, but also Netflix is right there. And also your bed is so comfy. And also why make your own coffee when you can spend $8 on a latte at the overpriced café around the corner, which also charges $2 extra for oat milk, and - let's be honest - you're probably also going to get a pastry too. We may not ever make it to that list, but instead, we did waste our valuable time compiling another list: one full of relatable, self-deprecating content as an olive branch to you, dear reader, who we hope also feels like trash 99.9% of the time.

Funniest Braindead Memes for People Who Feel a Little Dumb Sometimes

Have you ever felt like your brain is running on Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome? You're not alone. Sometimes, especially when life is overwhelming and overstimulating (aka all the time), it's hard to boot up the ol' grey matter in your dome to solve simple problems or answer intermediate questions. The yes or no response is more complicated than it sounds, okay? 

It's not that you're hard of hearing or anything, you're just a little slow today and you need people to repeat themselves after explaining any task. It's a good thing you're no longer at the age where you're constantly taking standardized tests because if you used your current brain to solve Algebra 2 word questions, you would probably fail. Being an adult poses a lot of other uses for the brain, so sometimes old information just gets kicked out. For example, if you meet someone and they tell you their name, that's extraneous information that definitely won't be there tomorrow. So you're not dumb, your brain is just TOO full. 

'Is this written for a fish?': Guy bakes weird 93-year-old water pie recipe

This Thanksgiving, one creator has the perfect recipe for people who are cooking on a budget. Video creator B. Dylan Hollis has a specialty of baking very old recipes, specifically ones from the Great Depression era. 

Horrible Aunt Babysits 9-Year-Old Niece, Tells Her That Her Mom Never Wanted Kids

When it comes to babysitting, this is about as bad as it gets. This aunt literally revealed to her 9-year-old niece that her mother never wanted children in the first place. Sure, she might have meant to add that her sister didn't want kids but changed her mind later in life, but something in her clearly chose to omit that crucial detail.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Unusual_Monitor_2492, and the best part of the whole reading experience is following the original poster as she attempts to defend herself and justify her actions. Even in her own updates to the original post, she tries to elicit more sympathy from the crowd but by that point, she already revealed her true cards. Too late, lady!

Entitled customer demands refund for 'first come first serve' basis parking that they didn't pay for, hotel worker maliciously complies

There are glorious times in customer service when doing what the customer has asked necessitates doing technically nothing. It's a rare occurrence but oh-so-good when it happens to chance upon you.

When this worker promised to give an angry Karen a refund, they did so by promising to refund the amount that it would cost them to park on the street: Nothing. This left the Karen happy to go merrily on their way, and with the problem now out of sight and out of mind, she was never the wiser. It's genius really, a prime example of the best customer service one should offer. 

Keep on reading to see the screenshots of this story, as it was originally posted on Reddit's r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk subreddit, a sub that often deals with these types of customer service stories. For more, check out this obstinate customer who demanded a calzone with an entire chicken wing in it, when the worker obliged them they were promptly fired.

'He stated berating me': Jerk neighbor breaks code, gets served bureaucratic justice by disgruntled government employee

There's an old saying that's continually relevant to customer service: The squeaky wheel gets the grease; it's true, more often than not, following up consistently with a service provider (and being generally bothersome) will net you a faster result than those who wait silently. Most people choose to do this by obnoxiously demanding service but obnoxious or not, it's always important to be polite. Being polite, maybe firm, when necessary, will always net you a better result than being a bellend.

This is especially true when dealing with government departments that are particularly prone to bureaucratic administrative inertia. Getting your knickers in a twist with a government pencil pusher will ensure that you're waiting eternally for a result, which can be especially problematic when said government worker already despises their working existence. Meanwhile, being on the better side of these government workers can net miracles of quick results and decisive action that was previously thought to be impossible for the department.

This is how it was in our story… When this good guy neighbor was saved from his jerk neighbor by a benevolent government employee... "He may have lost the neighbors' respect, but he gained — well, you will see whether he gained anything in the end."

'This is a mandatory family contribution!': Demanding family member tells guests to buy their own expensive Thanksgiving chair AND cover food costs

Would you attend this controversial family Thanksgiving meal? One Redditor posted to r/mildlyinfuriating with an irritating story to share. They shared a text from a family member that asks for "some family jubilation and participation" for this year's turkey day. If you want to eat at this family's home, you need to bring your own chair! Yes, seriously! 

Not only did the wacky request state that everyone should bring their own seat, the message even includes links to buy chairs. These aren't just your average folding seats - they cost $30 each! "Thinking we should start with 8 or 12 [chairs]," the message reads. That's not the only reason the OP was ticked off at the request…keep reading below to follow this Thanksgiving drama that's as juicy as a freshly cooked turkey.

'It's just bad holiday hosting': Husband says he can handle all the Thanksgiving dinner prep this year, it's not working out

Something tells me this family is going to be ordering takeout this Thursday...

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmiTheA**hole subreddit by u/TheRaccoonEmpress, who opened up about her current drama with her husband as Thanksgiving approaches. After handling the whole family event on her own every year for decades, this Redditor asked if she could opt out of doing all the work this time around. Her husband stepped in and said he could totally handle it. As weeks went by and no work was being done in preparation for the event, the wife eventually couldn't help but notice that her husband, kind as he may be, was simply not up to the task. What's also funny here is how animated people were in the comments section. It sounds like plenty of people have been in the Redditor's shoes before. Keep scrolling below to see what they had to say!

Idiot friend buys car at outrageous price from scummy dealer, guy gets him a free new car when he realizes dealer committed fraud

The stereotype of the sleazy salesman is one that holds very true to reality. There are far too many people in the trade who will do anything it takes to close a sale and there are also far too many industries breeding these manipulators. Part of it is the fault of commission-based work: When you work with no guarantee of consistent pay, you're likely to turn to drastic methods to put food on the table. You usually then realize that there's no ceiling to your income as long as you can close an infinite amount of sales to achieve it. 

To further this idea: The culture in these industries will often encourage a "hustler" mindset, where everyone shares the ultimate goal of living the high-earner lifestyle of their idols.

Well, this shady car salesman went as far as committing fraud when they were determined to close the sale on Redditor u/redditadmindumb87's friend. Luckily u/redditadmindumb87 had more sense and managed to get their friend out of the deal using the apparent fraud as leverage, landing their friend a newer car in the process.

30+ Cars that failed so hard there's no way they're street legal

Car people LOVE their cars - and some of them will do anything to stand out and improve their ride even in the smallest ways. Some people take care of their cars by making visits to the car wash, or opting for leather seats or a red coat of paint. But then other people are way more creative. After all, not every ride has hundreds of little Hot Wheels cars glued on to it! And if you're not jealous of the driver who installed a comfy brown couch in the front row, you just haven't viewed his cushy vehicle yet.

Update: 'This morning I woke up to several texts': Company fires worker for giving two week's notice, then has the nerve to contact them asking for help

The act of giving notice is one of mutual trust — especially when the worker isn't protected by an agreement or local law. In doing so, the worker is showing their employer a sign of goodwill by allowing them the time to prepare other workers, maintain continuity, and execute a proper handover. 

The problem with giving notice is it's also like a breakup — "It's not you, it's me. I've just… Found someone else." — and all too often, emotionally-stunted owners and middle managers take it exactly as such. This leads to explosive, irrational decision-making that often means the worker's goodwill act of giving notice is met with immediate termination. It's not always the case — there are brilliant employers out there (please don't fire me) — but there definitely is a risk with giving notice to the wrong employer. 

This worker had their notice period thrown back in their face with an immediate dismissal — first posting their experience in a thread titled "Fired after 7 years" (items #1-6) on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit. The thread drew the ire and outrage of the internet and triggered a flurry of responses.

They then returned a few days later to provide an update (items #7-9) in which they revealed that the employer had attempted to get in contact with them in order to ask them questions about outstanding items in a feeble attempt to complete the handover that should have taken place during their intended notice period.

30 Thanksgiving food fails from people who definitely won't be allowed to host holidays ever again

Every Thanksgiving, American families gather together to celebrate with food and fun activities. In some families, one person or family does all the cooking, while in others, each person brings a dish. Some people took to the internet to share their turkeys and side dishes on r/StupidFood - and some of them are pretty off the wall! Whether it's a mushy turkey slop or a sushi roll formed out of cranberry sauce and stuffing, these people opted for the weird and wacky this Thanksgiving.

Funniest Customer Service Memes for the Perpetually Tired Souls Who Are Handing In Their Two Week Notice

Working in customer service can be pretty soul-destroying. The customers are sour-faced and take everything personally. No, Sharon, the employees are not out to get you. The product you wanted is actually out of stock. No, they don't make the prices. Nobody is forcing you to buy anything. If you don't like something about the store or its products, deal with it. The employees have zero say in the matter and the ones who do, wear suits and not name tags – and have most likely never stepped foot in the store.

 

People who work in customer service, retail, fast food, or any other jobs for that matter, are human beings who have to put up with your hogwash for a living. So tone down the arrogant attitude, and show some respect. If you can relate to hating humanity every time you're at work, you're in the right place. Scroll down for the funniest memes that are sure to turn your frown upside down. And feel free to check out these hilarious memes that you and your coworker can laugh at, together.

Guy Discovers He Has Been Falsely Painted as a Villain in Shady Cousin’s Self-Help Book

Well, I wouldn't want to attend this family's Thanksgiving dinner. Or maybe I would just for the drama of it all. This guy learned that a childhood fight with his cousin from when they were kids had been reframed and embellished for the self-help memoir his cousin recently published.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/thatsreallyjustmean, a fitting username for someone who discovered that he was blindsided by his own cousin. Not only was he given zero warning about this story before its publication, but it should also be noted that this cousin of his is a complete phony. She has been sued for fraud as a result of her poor "life coaching" services and also spent time in jail briefly for attacking her husband. The fact that she is still trying to write self-help books goes to show how out of touch she is with, you know, reality. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments.

'I believe it came out to a little under 100k': Company cheats delivery driver out of tips, has to backpay all former employees and pay fines

There will always be employers out there who think that they can step on the little guy's toes while dipping their hand into their wallet in order to turn a profit. In reality, if you can't manage to make a business profitable in an honest way, it's probably a good sign that you shouldn't be in business at all. 

This college guy worked for a delivery company that insisted on taking a percentage of driver's tips under the guise of covering operating costs. This happened even if the employees then ended up making under the minimum wage for all of their time worked; the employees would be taken into the office and made to sign a form saying that the tips they received had pushed them over minimum wage before they would be allowed to collect their check.

This went on for some time, and the college guy managed to inform all kinds of drivers that came through the doors as to what was going on. When it came time to pull the plug, the college guy got everyone involved so that they could get to setting the matter straight...

'The kitchen guys are actually chuckling while they put this thing together': Obstinate customer demands whole chicken wings in their calzone, worker complies, gets fired

There are times in life when temptation is just too great and leads us toward doing something that we probably shouldn't be doing… Take, for example, serving a customer a calzone containing entire chicken wings (bones and all) after they obstinately and repeatedly request it as a special order. 

When you've been working in the service industry, retail, or customer service for long enough, you get a growing itch to pull off something like this. With every entitled customer interaction, you can feel it intensifying, and soon you're practically begging for a chance to serve a little malicious compliance of your own. 

It stands to reason that the server should not have been fired for this, after all, they gave the customer exactly what they had requested. Not only that, they double and triple-checked with the customer before being (rudely) told not to ask again.

A Ridiculous Amount Of Funny Memes For The Worn Out Brains In Tech

Shoutout to everybody who's feeling like their brain is a bit fried this week. You're not alone… below you'll find some hilarious memes that grasp the essence of programming and tech in general. Dealing with bugs and errors all day is pretty tiring, and if you have to deal with annoying coworkers' stupid questions, then it's even worse.

 

One of the most annoying things about programming is when you get stuck on an issue, look up said issue, and find somebody asking the exact same question – followed by either (a) no answers at all or worse (b) "never mind, I figured it out". Another frustrating thing is when management just doesn't understand programming but wants to micromanage it anyway. Memes are essential to release the stress and anxiety one accumulates when working in tech. So these will provide a much needed break, as they are the best tool available for procrastination. You can deal with all those annoying bugs later. 

'Absolutely not': Couple discovers their neighbor is running an illegal Airbnb ring, she gets the leasing office involved

How did the leasing office not figure this out on its own? Especially when four adjacent units in the building were rented under the same name and there was a constant flow of guests coming and going. Sounds like an Airbnb ring or something worse.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Tunasaladboatcaptain, and while we normally do not support nosy neighbors stirring up a fuss, these folks were clearly in the right here. What's especially remarkable here is how poorly run this little business scheme was. Hopefully, now the Redditor's girlfriend, who is a night shifter, can count on getting some sleep during the day. One has to wonder if the leasing office people knew more than they were suggesting, but I suppose we'll never know. Keep scrolling below for the full story!

'He left without saying a word': Wildly insecure guy ditches fiancé after learning about her past

This dude is just weak! He left his fiancé and fully ghosted her after learning that she was "popular" among the guys once upon a time. It's not like there was any cheating or any truly scandalous event, but that was enough to make this lame guy leave.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Intelligent_Cup4116, who is the fiancé's sister. She recounted the story from a perspective that also reads as insanely problematic. The fact that there is no evidence of any real wrongdoing besides the fiancé's past "popularity" just goes to show how backward our society is. And say it with me, everyone: if the gender roles were reversed, this would not be happening.
