Sure, it's not like any of these happened against all odds, but it's still fun to see. These are some good old fashioned everyday lucky moments and really close saves.Yeah, it's not winning the lottery, but it's still rare and satisfying to get an avocado with minimal to no pit.

This DoorDash employee's experience dealing with an absolutely terrible support service while working, speaks volumes to why you might not want to work there. It really just looks like senseless bot talk from DoorDash that's accomplishing anything besides being helpful.

As far as the dark and unsettling world of cursed images go, cursed toilets rank right up there with some of the weirdest shit we've laid eyes on. We imagine getting a case of a very shy bladder if we found ourselves confronting a scenario, involving us having to use one of these. They're just plain wrong. But therein lies the beauty of a solid cursed image.

Wow is this a great ad for english muffins and backhoes. After this semi truck driver got stuck attempting a U-Turn across some railroad tracks, a bunch of random dudes showed up to see what was going on. With knowledge of a train coming, someone came in with a backhoe to help this truck driver get unstuck. Meanwhile, the camera guy just keeps calling this truck driver a dumbass. The real man of the hour here is whoever's driving that backhoe.

Twitter users are cracking jokes about the #signsyouregettingfired. If you find yourself getting pulled into a conference room with a very serious looking manager and the HR department, things might not be looking too good for the time you have left with the company. Or, maybe you show up at the office and there's an empty cardboard box waiting for you on your desk. Hopefully none of these signs that you're getting fired ring any bells.

Someone on AskReddit asked for wedding shop workers to share their worst bridezilla stories. The resulting snapshots of bridezillas having general emotional implosions really do an effective job at showing off the worst parts about weddings--the unanticipated bridezilla or groomzilla. And sometimes, it isn't even the bride who's going full-fledged public freakout, entitled lunatic. Sometimes, it's actually the mother of the bride, or another family member.

A viral Facebook post from Kristin Hagan is making the rounds, and it's all about old ladies who just can't seem to figure out how Facebook bios work. The resulting bios are savagely honest, and full of surprises like "pasta" and a grandmother who wants the online world to know that she has a very unpleasant granddaughter.

This "nice guy" showed his real colors after his classmate rejected him. He proceeds to unload a barrage of rage-fueled messages about how he gets walked over for being a "nice guy" and complains that he has to spend money to hang out with her in the first place.

In a recent trend, people have been sending random texts to their Number Neighbors, i.e. the stranger whose phone number is one digit higher or lower their their own. Mostly it's just people going "who is this don't talk to me" but other people are chill. Here's a guy who got waaaay deeper than you'd expect to get with a stranger. Unrelated, we're huge fans of that first typo right at the top.

This parking lot "Karen" went off on a guy for parking too close to her, and he proceeded to waste her precious time by grocery shopping and then enjoying a nice ice cream cone with a dump afterwards at McDonald's. A solid case of petty revenge.

Sometimes people come into a store ready to start swinging. When this customer called this business a scam, the owner chose to respond with some convincing aspects of the whole story that were left out of the original review. Business owners tend to put a staggering amount of time and energy into responding to negative reviews, like this person who left a one star review and was met with justified condemnation.

Twitter users are sharing their workplace complaints in the form of haikus. The resulting tweets are a wonderfully poetic way to capture the pain and perils of muddling through the various obstacles work throws your way. Or, you know, just finding enough motivation to hang around the office after you knock back that first cup of coffee.

When met with the question "what's the nicest way to tell someone to F off" Redditors of all stripes threw their hats into the ring. From common sayings in other cultures, to random abuse they've gotten on the street, the world is bursting with semi-polite and professional ways to tell someone that you'd rather not have to ever see their face again.

This guy tried to deal out a grammar lesson to a woman over a typo, and she handled the situation beautifully. Basically, she claps back with a series of fake grammar rules. A solid way to handle someone who's dauntingly smart with an overwhelming level of genius.

We like to see idiot scammers get trolled, but sometimes they're incredibly clever and have access to way more of your information than you thought. Seriously, someone can dig up tons of personal information on you like your family members and past addresses in order to look legit, and frankly that's spooky as hell. This guy had to deal with just that but thankfully had the sense to back out.

@Jdesmondharris asked twitter users what regular life skills they totally suck at. We know from just looking around that tons of people are crap at parking, but some adults freely admit to still being bad at tying their shoes. Sure, you don't need to be able to tie your shoes to understand a nuclear reactor, but it would probably put your coworkers on edge to hear about it.

These guys probably feel a bittersweet combination of fear, luck and crapped pants after nearly getting shot into the sky on a faulty slingshot ride. Reportedly, the woman recording the video had a bad feeling about the ride and declined going on. It looks like she made the right move.

In a recent AskReddit thread non-British people are sharing all the things that they find odd about Britain. Things like when British people want to be really mean, they'll just proceed to be very polite to you. Now that's just unnerving. Or, on a more positive note; if a Brit invites you for a drink they very well might be talking about 10 drinks and a kebab.

The human eye is a pretty incredible thing. It manages to detect incredible amounts of information and send them to your brain where it all gets organized into something that makes sense to you. That said, your eyes aren't doing a perfect job. They will confuse you from time to time, and this confusion will result in real-life optical illusions. All of a sudden you'll think you're looking at a giant woman, a floating head, or a goat walking on two legs. Like these.

Twitter user @calluna_, responded to a professor who complained about the millennials being the lamest, most intolerable generation by transcribing a collection of 18th century student disciplinary records, and sharing her findings. Turns out things were pretty out of control in the 18th century. Makes the millennials look pretty reasonable after all.

Twitter user Ella Martine casually let everyone know of a small family text screw up wherein some handcuffs mysteriously made their way onto her bed frame. Sounds a little embarrassing. She claimed that it was for a video her roommate was shooting for school. Predictably, twitter had a real hard time buying that story.

What can we say, maybe this Tumblr user's cat is hot? If we had a cat that bolted into the fridge constantly we'd be freaking out all the time, but the fact that this cat seems content in there is sort of endearing, in a weird way. If you google "cat in fridge" this is just about the most wholesome result you're gonna find. For a cute but big cat fail, here's a mistaken animal lover who thought she'd found a stray cat.

Since the dawn of the internet, we've always had lying liars around that are ready to spread mindless BS into the world. It's like they will themselves into believing that someone else out there on the internet isn't going to take the time to fact check them, or take a few seconds to do a quick reverse image search on Google.
