'My bike got swarmed by 8000 bees': 20 Bike fails for motorcycle maniacs and bicycle brethren

Biking can get you from point A to point B, or it can be a great way to kill time just for fun. Many people start biking from the time they're children all the way through adulthood. But of course, just like with any sporty activity, there are some risks. Aside from possibly face planting into the ground, there are cars to deal with, oh and the high cost of even owning a bike! Check out these memes below, and always wear your helmet. 

Then, check out this story of an employee's last day gone wrong, with an update of how they handled it with their furious boss. 

'My sweet, beautiful family doesn't suspect a thing': Lying husband sneaks to hotel room to binge eat peanuts

Consider this a different kind of affair...one with a jar of peanut butter instead of a human. Regardless of the specifics, you can tell that this lie has been weighing on the husband's conscience. He shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit, and like many folks in the comments section, I was surprised to see this confession go in a very different direction than what I was expecting.

 

The facts are these: the Redditor, who has a daughter with a serious peanut allergy, rents a hotel room every few months and tells his family that he has a business trip. What's really happening is that he is getting his peanut fix. We're talking Reese's Pieces, a jar of Skippy, peanut butter cookies, the works. This dude literally eats himself to sleep. Then, like any lying husband, he gets rid of all the evidence and returns to his wife and kid. At this point, we suggest transparency, but we also want to acknowledge that this guy is giving the kind of unexpected wholesome content we love to see this time of year. On the scale of lies, this one is obviously mild.

Company won't compensate employee for missed $1000 event, pays $5000 for round trip international flight instead

Sometimes you can't help but wonder if corporate executives have ever heard the expression "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face" as they seem to repeatedly make illogical decisions based on half-baked policies that really only hurt the business in the long run. Usually, it's as simple as the fact that someone decided something once, and that's just the way it's going to be forever. It can also be because something is easier on the books, and therefore that's the way it's going to be even if it actually costs more. 

Stories like this pop up in Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit every week, and we're not close to growing tired of them. This particular thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by Reddit user u/Modokon, who shared the bewildering situation they faced when they asked their employer to compensate them for an event they couldn't reschedule.

'I will throw him in the pool tomorrow at 1. If something happens to him you are responsible': Rude entitled Aunty demands free swimming lessons for her son

One mom did not hold back while demanding swimming lessons for her son - for free. This text exchange is between an "Aunty," and a swim tutor. For some time, the swim teacher had been giving free swim lessons to kids, even when offered money, just to be nice. But some people are so entitled that they'll ruin a good thing! This Aunty demanded that the teacher bend over backwards to accommodate her "anxious" son. By anxious, she means he doesn't like to be around other kids. She also demands to change the time so that the water will be warmer, and even scolds the babysitter for the crime of…replying several minutes later to a text message. 

In my opinion, the swim teacher is way too nice here, she is very polite throughout the entire exchange. The entitled Aunty, however, is completely out of her mind. She doesn't even attempt to be gracious or thankful for the FREE swim services the teacher is offering. 

Check out this infuriating text convo below. After that, the commenters gave the swim instructor great advice for how to humiliate the entitled Aunty in front of the other parents. I'd love an update to know if the teacher did get any other parents involved.

Hail Santa: Cursed Vintage Pictures With Santa That Will Ruin Your Holiday

Santa Claus as a figure, as a story, and as a concept is downright creepy. Sure, they try to make him seem cute with his jolly voice and his rosy cheeks, but deep down, Santa is a home invader with a child obsession and it's just weird that everyone ignores those two facts. Just because he's a big man who likes to eat 8 billion cookies a night, doesn't mean that he's harmless. This is a man who relies on slave labor to build an empire whose sole purpose is to perpetuate child bribery and 'annual performance reviews' for 7 year olds. Have you been good this year? Well these mall-Santa's certainly have NOT and prove that it's super creepy to let your child sit on a strangers lap, traumatizing them, for a few photos to laugh at later. If you're that person then you'd only have to hope that your local Santa put a little thought into the costume and didn't drink a fifth of vodka for breakfast that morning.  

'I slept under my desk at least 3 nights a week': 20 LinkedIn lunatics who just had to share their most unhinged work thoughts

LinkedIn is a really strange social media site, because people take themselves deadly seriously - after all, this is their career they're talking about! Some folks seem to love posting just to boost their own ego or hype up their most recent accomplishments. But a lot of the time, it turns into oversharing, bragging, or straight-up lying, just to gain some clicks and "good for you!" comments. My favorite is people who start their post by noting how hesitant they were to share this information with their colleagues…like yes, you totally could have just not posted that, Karen! But people have egos and they have engagement to drive, giving us a wealth of LinkedIn Lunacy. 

Below are 20 people who just couldn't resist bragging on the job site, and next up, read about these 30 folks who could not survive one single day without technology. 

College student goes on rant after bad roommate kicks him out at 2 AM during finals week

We've all had roommate drama...and this college student is starting to learn what that's like. After spending eight hours in the library studying for finals until nearly 2 am, when he finally got back to the room, his evil roommate tried to shoo him away so he could have alone time with his girlfriend. Excuse me? He had eight hours of alone time with her when the Redditor was gone studying. The audacity!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/college subreddit by u/EmprircalCrystal, who was definitely not the clearest or most articulate in his original post but you could tell that was mostly a result of the unbridled rage he was feeling at the time. Be sure to read the screenshots included in the comments section to get more information about the surrounding circumstances. The main takeaway here is that college can be formative for several reasons. One of those reasons, for better or for worse, is that you're going to come across a-holes and you're going to have to learn how to deal with them.

'The most ridiculous flex of power I have ever seen': Boss accuses employee of using a 'fake name' because of common nickname, confiscates their shifts

Some people have an immense propensity to abuse petty amounts of power. If you put some people in charge of filling a cup of water, they would find a way to do so with absolute authority.

This manager got an incredibly petty bee in their bonnet about the shortened version of their own name that they prefer to use. They have taken to telling the employee that their name is "fake" and have even started penalizing the worker by confiscating shifts from them. The most insane part of this entire story is that they have even suggested the employee use a different shortened version of their name. So if shortened names aren't the issue here… what is the issue? This line of thought alone proves the fact that this manager just wants to abuse their power.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Reddit user u/Fragg1eR0ck. They voiced their frustration with their manager's accusations and the entire situation they are facing.

'I ain't givin' up that easy': Guy finds bike theft in progress and takes matters into his own hands

Getting around New York City can be quite easy on a bike to whisk you from place to place. But clearly they are highly coveted items, as this man discovered when he ran into a bike theft in progress!

A user who goes by Malcolm816 discovered that he'd left his bike carefully locked near his office in Times Square. But when he was ready to ride home, he found that someone else had placed a huge lock on his cycle. What could that possibly mean? To Malcolm816, it was a sure sign that his bike was in the middle of being stolen, so he hatched a plan to get the lock off. It didn't quite go as planned though…scroll down to check out the whole saga, plus advice from folks in the comments section.

21 Dumb Photoshop Fails By People Who Don't Know The Laws Of Physics

Ho-ho-ha, with Christmas right around the corner, we've got a lot of hilarious, holiday-related content to show you guys. So today we're gonna take a break from that and share with you some pretty dumb photoshop fails instead. The internet is full of delusional people who think they can get away with looking like the exact opposite of what they look like in real life. 

 

This doesn't only apply to people though, it also applies to companies that advertise their products. Everyone downloads Photoshop,  imagining that a Youtube tutorial or two is gonna make them experts. Some people have the audacity (or nativity?) to gasp and deny it when normal people call 'em out.

 

To be perfectly blunt, it's called catfishing. Photoshop has basically become a lot of people's 'go to'. Whether it's because they're insecure, or because… they're insecure. Scroll down to see the best of the worst. Plus, if you wanna see some more delusional people, just in a different form, feel free to click here.

Horrible Ad Fails Made By Complete Idiots

You have to wonder what they were thinking. I know that everyone makes mistakes. But to make a mistake and have it approved by everyone at a company, so much so that the mistake remains there all the way until after it's printed in a magazine, on a sign, or even on a billboard? The number of possibilities to catch said mistake and rethink things…it's gobsmacking, really.

'With Family Like This, Who Needs Enemies?' : Woman Threatens to Kick Niece Out of Her Home After Visit From Husband

Ah, college. Specifically, exam season. Those were the days… the days I spent ripping my hair out and biting my fingernails until they no longer resembled fingernails. They had this jagged, stressed look about them, which basically represented how I felt inside. I'm certain many of you can relate. Everyone hates studying for finals, but nobody has a choice in the matter. And those who know, have compassion for those who are still in those difficult stages of trying to pass said exams. But not everybody is so kind.

 

One woman in particular, had the nerve to tell her niece off for making her husband a coffee as he came to drop off a report she had forgotten at home. I realize you are missing context. For that, you are going to have to scroll down my friends, because my fingers kind of hurt at this point in the day, and I don't really feel like typing the whole thing out. The woman explains it better anyway.

Workers discuss the reasons they like working from the office versus working from home

Working from home has a lot of benefits: You can get personal tasks done during breaks and generally have much more self-determination over your time. Plus, there's no wasted time and money involved with commuting. You generally get more time to spend with your family due to increased free time, and this can do wonders for your personal relationships.

'So I decide to quit': Guy discovers his new job is planning on replacing him, quits before they have the chance

There's an ethical quandary that presents itself sometimes in your working life… if your job description essentially requires you to help hire and train a replacement, do you do it?

It's something that comes up more often than we realize, with countless stories popping up online where people realize they have been asked to outline their job for the purpose of hiring a replacement or find themselves training a mysterious new "team member" to do their job. The problem is that the yet-to-be-fired employee is led to believe that it's a requirement of their job to partake in these tasks (or else), and when people begin to catch on… things can begin to go a little bit sideways.

In this situation, Redditor u/kamamad1 found their job suspiciously posted on LinkedIn before being asked to outline the tasks of their position. They saw the writing on the wall, and rather than assisting their employer in screwing them over; they decided it was time to take their skills elsewhere. Their decision to quit was not taken well by their employer, who was planning on exploiting their knowledge before giving them the boot, which led u/kamamad1 to share their experience on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit.

'You Must Be At Least 8 Feet Tall' : Best Dating App Fails And Memes Of The Week

Dating apps suck. Everyone knows this, yet it doesn't stop them from continuously trying their luck. Because Tinder promises good things to those who swipe… But alas, this may not be news to most of you, but it still has to be said — the algorithm is perpetually against the swipees'. Dating has only become more and more frustrating as we dive deeper into the 21st century. One wrong move and you're promptly ghosted. Just getting a date can be very hard. And even when you get past the talking stage, FOMO starts to set in, because these apps create an illusion of an endless supply of available people. The grass is always greener.

 

Anyhow, this 'endless supply of available people' is actually just an endless supply of idiots. The proof is in plain sight, ask anyone who's ever been on a dating app — they'll tell ya. At this point, we hope we won't end up settling because all the fish in the sea are actually piranhas. So without further ado, if you're failing miserably at dating apps, you are not alone, so check out the hilarious (yet slightly depressing) collection of fails down below. Try keeping a straight, stoic face.

'Let's save our time and end this interview:' Job candidate calls Recruiter Karen out on her rude behavior

It's remarkable how shocked Karens get when they get a taste of their own medicine. This Recruiter Karen was interviewing a candidate in a third-round interview process and decided to be completely rude from the get-go. Even though the people who had interviewed the Redditor in previous rounds expressed that they were impressed with his background and resume, that clearly wasn't enough for dear old Karen.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/recruitinghell subreddit by u/Inevitable_Appeal790, who wisely decided to match Karen's energy. He cut her off and told her that clearly, she wasn't liking any of his answers and that it would save everyone's time if he just left the call. She was completely taken aback as if she had no idea she was being a total a-hole. Well, that's what you get, Recruiter Karen: the same energy, right back at you.

'My boss denied my 2 weeks notice': Horrible boss uses dumb loophole, refuses to let employee leave the company

This boss is going to make those final weeks a nightmare. She refused to let her employee leave the company because of the dumbest loophole. The employee put in their two weeks notice, but it was denied because they technically gave just under ten business days due to the Holiday season. Are you kidding me?

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/CaterpillarWeak893, who discovered that the initial contract did not specify whether or not two weeks meant two work weeks or two calendar weeks. With that in mind, as one person in the comments noted, this boss can't do anything. It's all empty threats. Our advice is to do the bare minimum on those final work days and if the boss makes it a hostile work environment, just walk away immediately.

'No, absolutely not': Boss losses their cool when employees abuse 'water privilege''

The audacity of some people to want to remain adequately hydrated. 

Don't they know? The first rule of the cashier's code is that you must remain thirsty at all times. We're talking parched here — not even an ounce of liquid or spit remaining that could accidentally flick onto a customer's face. But, after a cashier betrayed this sacred code, their boss was forced to instate a ban on all water sipping due to their abuse of "water privilege."

That's insane… right? It begs the question of why some workplaces insist on treating their workers like children. Some organizations have policies put in place as if they're running a daycare, and management attitudes reflect the same frame of mind. Things like limitations on the time or frequency of bathroom breaks and "water privileges" are sure signs that you're not going to enjoy your time there. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, and the worker shared their toxic workplace experience. Reactions were exactly in line with what you might have expected, and the workers were quick to condemn the manager's attitude.

'That was a desperate dad, willing to do a bad thing for his child': Man shares heartbreaking story of how he turned getting robbed into helping a father in need

Being approached by a stranger in a dark parking lot is already intimidating. You were just trying to mind your own business, and now you might be in a very scary and dangerous situation. However, sometimes these situations, when shed on by a different light, turn out to be okay. For instance, Bryan Minerly recently shared a story on his social media about how he somehow changed his fate from him getting robbed, to him helping a father in need.

'Woke Up And Chose Lying' : Most Unbelievable Claims, Literally

The internet does not have the most truthful reputation. Anyone can post anything and there'll always be someone who believes it. In fact, lying has become an actual day job, where you can get paid… unquestionably well. TikTok is known for people sharing 'wild' stories that happened to them, that frankly, probably didn't happen. Who's gonna do a background check? Where would you even begin to try to verify the source or level of truth? While scouring Reddit, we happened upon r/ThatHappened, where people share the most ridiculous crap that people are alleging happened. 

 

Eyebrows were RAISED. Firstly, how do people come up with this stuff? Secondly, from where do they have the audacity to post it? Thirdly, we'd like to pick the part of their brain says 'Yep, this is believable. People are gonna go nuts'. Well, as usual, all we can say is that it does make good content. And it's super fun to read… Scroll down to see the amusing things people claim happened.

15+ People share the worst holiday gifts they ever received from an employer

Ah, the holiday season — a time of year best spent with loved ones over amazing meals and through the sharing of thoughtful gifts. Holiday daydreams often take you to a place beside a roaring fire, wrapped in a thick woolen blanket — its surprising weight offering a welcome embracing comfort. A warm beverage of choice in hand or in arm's reach (Irish hot chocolate for me, please) completes the mood.

It should be no surprise to any of us that these holiday ideals, moods, and traditions just don't meld well with workplaces. Workplaces are generally stark, cold, hard, and uncomfortable; plus, time at work is often the very thing preventing you from spending more time with aforementioned loved ones. This, coupled with the fact that a lack of financial security can be and is the biggest constraint to many families' ability to enjoy the holidays to their fullest.

Maybe this is why the tradition of receiving holiday gifts from one's workplace came into being: Some small attempt to bridge the gap between the personal and working worlds. These can come in a wild variety of shapes and methods of delivery — and there's always something to be said for trying — but there's a reason why the idea of a bad holiday gift from an employer has become ingrained in pop culture.

'Must be Jimmy Choo or Louboutin ONLY': Entitled choosing beggar makes wish list while she waits for her first paycheck

The line between entitled Karens and satire is so thin these days. This thread was reposted to Reddit's r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit by u/VillainNotHeroes, and let's just say that regardless of whether or not this is rage bait, we live in a culture now where this materialistic impulse could also very well be the thought process of a crazy entitled person.

 

This woman posted a wish list to social media that included items she "needed" so she could get by before receiving her first paycheck for her new job. The fact that the top item on this list of essentials is a designer bag but the fourth one is toilet paper says a lot about where we're at now. Not to mention the jar of mayo she needed for her son's eczema being item number seven. Her son should not have to suffer just because she sucks!

'Nothing better than hour long soggy macaroni, it was like glue': 20+ Family members who majorly ruined meals with their terrible cooking habits

There are few joys in life, like spending time with your family, but perhaps the exception is cooking with your family members. The kitchen can get way too crowded, even with just one extra person poking around. As one Redditor, u/RioA, posted on the r/Cooking subreddit, they were dealing with their mom rushing a chicken dish, and turning up the heat to get it to cook faster. 

Once you're done rolling your eyes at that line of logic, you'll see that the poster asked if anyone else could commiserate, and yes, yes, the commenters certainly could relate to that. People spilled the tea about family members over-spicing food, leaving perishables out too long, and even straight-up sabotaging a nice dinner. There were so many people who typed out a story of their own that this is clearly a common experience.

'I really just want to see the entire concept of AirBnbs in flames': Shady Airbnb host overcharges and leaves nasty review of guests

On the latest episode of Airbnb Horror Story...another host charged a ridiculous $300 cleaning fee and yet still expected their place to be flawlessly clean when the guests left. Now you may be wondering: isn't the whole point of charging a nightly cleaning fee so guests don't have to clean up after themselves (within reason, of course)? Well, that should be the purpose, but really it's all just another scam.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit by u/milk-sandwich, and at a certain point, Airbnb hosts are starting to seem more like landlords than anything else. If there's a cleaning fee and especially one that steep, you might as well just get a hotel where housekeeping is included and you don't have to clean up after yourselves when you leave. According to folks in the comments, it's pretty clear that the days of "good experiences with your Airbnb hosts" are long gone (did they ever really exist, though?). For more stories like this, check out this one about an illegal Airbnb ring.

'Guess I'll find a sitter': Manager passive aggressively tries to coerce worker into coming into work on their day off

The great part about being a manager of a retail location or restaurant is that you get paid a little bit more than the miserable wages of your subordinates. The not-so-great part about being a manager of a retail location or restaurant is that a little bit more still probably isn't a whole lot, and certainly isn't enough for all the bullshit you have to deal with.

'She definitely made our day 'unforgettable' in the worst possible way': Photographer allegedly refuses to deliver wedding photos with 'lighting issues' to bride

One distraught bride has taken to social media to ask for help getting back photos from one of the most special days of her life — her wedding. As she shared in a social media post, this bride alleges that her photographer is simply not giving her the photos from the ceremony. While the bride mentions that she has about 100 photos from other portions of the wedding, the actual ceremony itself is missing. 

The photographer is quite beholden to her contract. Instead of trying to smooth things over and make it right, she keeps citing the contract, claiming harassment, and mentioning moving the proceedings to small claims courts. Maybe the photographer is new to the wedding photo game, but as many people in the comments pointed out: It would have helped a lot if the photographer was just honest about what happened and tried very hard to salvage the remaining photos for this couple's wedding. 

Why would the photographer be clinging so tightly to the photos? Well, some people suggested that the SD card in the camera became corrupted, leading to deleted photos. Otherwise, what could possibly be so wrong with them? Now, the whole internet is dying to see this bride's photos…I really hope she gets them! She is truly so patient in a situation that is pretty hostile toward her, as the paying customer. Since the iPhone photos she posted are a bit hard to read, we have transcribed them in the description below each photo.

'A customer called in and complained': Lazy restaurant managers refuse to help teen workers with lunch rush, get customer complaints

Being appointed as a leader generally means that you should be doing at least a little bit of leading: sitting on your cell phone while your teenaged workers suffer the onslaught of a rush is not that. 

It's a sure sign that someone shouldn't have been appointed to the leadership position they are in and is instead a living, breathing example of the "Peter principle." Other times the issue is worse still, and the person's appointment to their leadership role isn't due to any previous performance but rather due to the organization selecting its leaders based on untraditional leadership qualities: obedience, bootlicking, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope — and nice red uniforms. (I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition!) 

Yes, it's unfortunate but true; often, those who shouldn't be leaders curry favor from those who are leaders but shouldn't have been. The ensuing ouroboros of fatuous leadership is enough to consume many an organization.

It probably goes without saying that these restaurant managers fall somewhere in the two discussed categories, and their behavior, unfortunately, isn't all that uncommon in some industries, as demonstrated by the number of people in the comments who shared their relatable experiences. Luckily, an ill-given directive set up the chance for some expert malicious compliance, which resulted in some tangible customer complaints about the manager's behavior.

'Congratulations! You have won the Humbug award!': Ridiculous Karen gets enraged at neighbor for not putting up Christmas lights

Leave me alone, Karen! Welcome to another neighborhood in which a Karen resides and will not rest until she gets exactly what she wants. This entitled Karen insisted that her neighbor put up Christmas lights and accused them of being a Grinch until they complied.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/hotshots724, who shared this letter to the Internet's ever thriving anti-Karen community. First of all, it's worth acknowledging that we have well over a week until Christmas. Next, let's recognize that not everyone celebrates the same dang holidays as Karen. The good news is there are several folks in the comments section who shared a wide range of revenge ideas for the Redditor, from putting up Halloween decorations to buying a Grinch statue to building a "giant Krampus."

20+ Signs that mean serious business

It's often said that for every rule, there is a story. Someone, somewhere, did something, and someone else made certain that thing was never going to happen again. 

The same is often true for signs; no one goes around posting them at random. No, a sign is only posted with a purpose; just sometimes, it's incredibly vague or confusing as to what that purpose was or why it needed to be a purpose at all. 

Well, these signs are here, and they mean serious business. As I look at each of these, I can't help but wonder what the story was behind them. Why were they posted? Who posted them? What was their motivation? For some of these, we'll never know. For others, we probably don't want to.
