Twitter user @isabelzawutan started a viral Twitter thread that inspired many who have worked in the service industry, to share their experiences fielding customers' most ridiculous demands. Some people seem to believe that customer service existing grants them the ability to turn their brains off when entering a store. That is not how it works.

The video doesn't offer much explanation as to why these guys are detonating anything at the end of this pipe, but holy crap. The sound and speed is reminiscent of a jet breaking the sound barrier. Surprisingly, the op says that only basic earplugs are required for protection against this monster.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the important details that clients neglected to tell lawyers. If anything it's a fascinating study in how important it can be to not leave anything out, if you ever find yourself hiring a lawyer. The devil really is in the details. Just don't lie to your lawyer.

Apparently it's pretty hard for people to guess the difference between flirting and just regular goofing around. So don't feel bad for being horrible at seeing the signs, you might just be bad at identifying them like the rest of us. Tumblr is a creative powerhouse of funny nuggets of gold, including poking fun at the adorable quirks of humans.

This quick Tumblr thread explores the artificial niceties provided by people working in the service industry. Don't let those smiles fool you for being a reflection of the employees' honest mood. People can really flip a switch when it comes to how they treat customers and what they're like outside the confines of the job's rules of conduct.

After this guy paid the tab and left a bad date, his date had some strong words about what she feels she deserves. Then she started throwing out accusations about theft and claims of body guards. It seems like a real treat to deal with. What is it they say? Sometime's someone's just not that into you. And maybe for good reason. Sometimes people can't handle it when they don't get what they feel like they deserve, like this classmate who demanded to have a project or this gullible jerk who got trolled demanding free art.

Steak-Umm strikes gold on Twitter again. This time, it's a feverish thread about a Valentine's Day date that takes an unexpected turn down mints-falling-from-the-ceiling-lane. Yes, that happens at one point. If you don't want to engage your imagination and enjoy some vivid imagery from the wild world of Steak-Umm, then keep browsing the web as you were.
BUT, if you want to get momentarily lost in an unpredictable, blessed, Twitter thread that doesn't make any sense but also makes total sense, then read this shit from Steak-Umm. It is a trip.

Americans hear all about how they can be obnoxious overseas, like being loud and embarrassing, thinking local cuisine is gross and calling someone a "foreigner" in the country they live in. Luckily, there are other less rude things American travelers do that identify them as Americans. For some more outside perspective, here are weird things people noticed about America.

Someone on AskReddit asked for waiters to dish out the biggest Valentine's Day disasters they witnessed. Can't imagine having to share a room with some of these arrestingly awkward fallouts between people out on dates. It's certainly a holiday ripe for romantic fails.

Dan Sheehan's unintentional yarn purchase went on to inspire a wonderfully punny Twitter thread. The most impressive part about this ridiculous sequence of events, is how Mr. Sheehan managed to summon the drive to try and knit the sweater in the first place. His intentions were understandable from the start though. Chris Evans did rock the hell out of that cable-knit sweater in Knives Out.

This employee came to learn what constitutes a food allergy, a bit later than they might have expected. The tingling that their brain had registered as perfectly "normal" was an allergic response to the bananas they were eating. Their co-workers must've gotten a kick out of the revelation.

Tumblr has a never ending interest in mythical creatures, and naturally, people are inclined to ask difficult questions. Since centaurs aren't a real thing, people just kind of use their imaginations, general concensus, math and doodles to get to the bottom of things. For another interesting one, here's the time a doctor on twitter asked where you would defibrillate a centaur.

The amount of energy this mad lad possesses is genuinely impressive. The dude radiates excitement, chaos, and looks like he might implode from the sheer anticipation of literally anything happening, at any moment.

It's a simple enough meme, and it fills our hearts with boundless joy. I mean, who knew that R2-D2 "in Italy" could go on to inspire such a hilarious, incomprehensible result. Seriously, whatever that "translation" is 10 times really fast. Therein lies the beauty of it. The force is strong with this meme.

The people at r/forbiddensnacks are committed to finding things that look delicious but are otherwise not food or straight up harmful. It's a world of fungi that look like donuts, landscapes that look like rare steaks and just delectable looking spider eggs. It's stuff that looks like delicious food but isn't.

Those Amazon Echos can get you, man. This couple experienced quite the shocking moment when the husband had unknowingly paired up with the Amazon Echo, while watching a video with Terry Crews in it. While the initial and mysterious booming voice might've been some kind of terrifying, can you imagine if Terry Crews was actually in their kitchen?

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the most insulting compliments that they've ever received. Insulting compliments are a confusing predicament to find yourself in; on the one hand, someone just said something "nice" to you, but on the flip side, the nicety was paired with something else that pointed out how you were less than, in the person's eyes. Like, you're great, but not as good as everyone else in the room.

When the topic of raises came up, this store manager decided to send out a company-wide email forbidding employees from openly discussing their salaries. The problem there is that that violates labor laws, and this genius decided to put their policy into writing. An unfair boss can be the source of drama and justice, like this security guard who go the last laugh or this manager who tried to fire an employee for following the rules.

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for his song choice at a friend's wedding. It sounds like heavy metal could've been a tough choice for the crowd. People seem to be suggesting that it was a jerk move, with them knowing what the song was about. You be the judge.
