Entitled Lowballer Doesn't Understand Lowballing


What a classic choosing beggar scenario right here. They want something, they get the something, and then their own blinding entitlement leaves them convinced that they somehow got screwed over. It's fascinating (in a bad way) on some level to watch this kind of interaction so grossly devoid of logic, play itself out. 

Making a Steel Sphere with an Explosion


So, usually in metalworking, you'd shape stuff by with a punch or a press. At least that's what Wikipedia says. Wikipedia also says that  hydroforming is the process of shaping metal using water pressure. For materials that are too strong or large for traditional hydroforming, one option is explosive forming, sometimes called explosive hydroforming. That's where the pressure used to shape metal comes from, you guessed it, an explosion. This ends our remedial knowledge of the complex processes involved with metalworking. Just watch the thing go bang.

After this guy's coworker bullied the office mom to get his way, he stepped in to make sure his coworker's selfish pizza plan didn't come to fruition. The world has its fair share of entitled people and their wild demands, and a whole lot of people who get inadvisable but satisfying petty revenge.

Software Developer Brings Justice To Evil Marketing Queen


Man, if there's one thing that always rings true, it is that nobody should ever be messing with folks in the IT department. In many ways the IT department consists of very smart individuals with the keys to the kingdom. Or least the skillset to engineer the kind of masterful revenge that's untraceable and utterly devastating. Sounds like this particular marketing queen was served the justice that she deserved. 

Check out some more gold from the IT world with this tech support employee who called a mean Karen's bluff.

Obnoxiously Entitled Employee Makes Mistake, Refuses To Own Up To It


Few things are quite as frustrating as dealing with an individual who clearly failed at something, and then stubbornly refuses to own up to it. It's like, we see you. You messed up.

Tumblr Thread: Dudes And Their Hilarious Brain Farts


In no way do these lapses in judgement reflect the actual intelligence of these upstanding dudes. The thing is, so many of us can unknowingly go through life without realizing that we're doing something completely wrong. That poor guy's hands. 

Double Take Moments of Warped Perspective


It doesn't take too much of a shift in perspective to totally change what we think we're looking at. In the land of weird perspective, the sky becomes the earth, people have dog faces, plastic bags become fauna, and people's hands get all weird. It's at least fun to believe for a second that a truck could haul a massive building thanks to the magic powers of perspective confuzzling double takery.

Safety Failures Of OSHA-Defying Boldness


Sure, the get 'er done mentality is an effective way to motivate yourself to complete tough jobs and long hours, but when it's used by your boss to justify lowering you on a backhoe over the side of a cliff, you're entering safety failureterritory. Anyone with a physical job is regularly tempted or ordered to take scary shortcuts in the form of safety failures that would make OSHA faint. Gotta admit, jacking a car up with a plastic chair doesn't really seem worth it.

Karen Expects Prompt Service For Her Party of 35


Anyone who has ever worked service or retail knows full well the absolute devastation an entitled Karen can wreak on your shift. This one in particular felt like a bustling bar should have no problem suiting the needs of a party of 35, and felt the wrath of a staff overworked.

The Worst Things People Ate Out of Politeness


It's important to be a good guest, and that damned social contract forces us to do some pretty stupid things. We'll sit at a great aunt's table and choke down chipped beef Jello pudding just so that we don't have to be honest about her horrible taste and total lack of culinary skill. Go us and our willingness to tolerate these cursed food abominations. Here are some more of the worst foods people have eaten.

Karen Expects Kid To Be Able To Steal Toys, Reality Check Ensues


We're not sure what was going through this Karen's head. To have the nerve to literally expect your kid to be able to just steal another kid's toys, just because, escapes all rhyme and reason. It sounds like the dude on the other end of this put her in her place, and it wasn't the first time -- nor will it be the last time. Some folks are hurting for the reality check more than others. 

Inconvenient, Weird and Stupid Interior Design


Building a house is hard. Or at least it seems like it when you see all the "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism that go into building anything. People really have a knack for putting toilets in inconvenient places. Who knows, maybe it's nice to have a toilet at the top of the stairs? It becomes a place to survey your domain. Either way, there's no project that goes on without a few moments of professional ineptitude.

Man Tells Girlfriend She's Too Obsessed With Her Dog


Uh oh, you better buckle on up because we have some trouble in an otherwise serene lover's paradise. This dude decided that he'd tell his girlfriend that she's too obsessed with her dog. Could the fella have said just about anything that would've been better than that? Yes. Yes, but here we are. 

People's Grueling Encounters With Spoiled Rich Kids


Many of us have crossed unfortunate paths with terribly entitled rich kids that all seem to carry this unconscious assumption that the world as they know it exists to satiate their every pressing desire.

Sometimes, even the reality check itself isn't enough to shake a spoiled rich kid out of their ways. Check out some more of people's craziest rich kid syndrome stories over here. 

Battlebots Is A Ruthless Spectacle


Just in case you didn't know at this point, the whole Battlebots scene is nothing short of a brutal, gladiatorial spectacle. These dudes aren't playing games. It's a good thing that they didn't cheap out on the bulletproof glass.

Man Follows Contracted Hours, Team Follows Suit, Management Caves


Man, oh, man, it sounds like this particular management team was terribly detached and clueless. They continued to send in uniformed representatives, as their company was proactively losing money, and wasted a whole lot of time when they could've actually resolved the issue. All that it took to set the whole thing in motion was one employee strictly following their contracted hours.

Baker Doesn't Research Bakery Before Interview, Unknowingly Insults Majority Of Menu


Not researching a company before a job interview with them is almost always going to backfire in one way or another. Even a little bit of homework before the moment of the job interview arrives can benefit you immensely. With that being said, this baker ended up enduring quite the awkward, humbling moment when they didn't do their due diligence on a bakery before sitting down for the interview. That lavender will get ya, man. 

Absurdly Overpriced Stuff People Have Seen


We all know someone who, against better judgement, will buy into the complete BS of an expensive product, and assume that the high price tag is a legitimate marker of quality. It's sad to see, but when someone spends literally any money on a rock in a bag, that's kind of on them. Here are some products that are getting more expensive and somehow worse, as well as some signs someone is trying way to hard to look rich.

Impressive Creations of Dubious Taste


There's no denying that people are very creative as well as incredibly skilled at making such interesting things. That said, who really wants a toe bed? Maybe this stuff resonates with at least a few people out there, but on the whole, a toilet guitar isn't gonna be something that a lot of us want to buy. It's just a drop in the bucket of the many impressive creations of questionable taste.

Martial Arts Academy Skillfully Shuts Down Helicopter Parent

Queen Karen, President Of The HOA Gets Defeated


Nothing quite warms our hearts like a tyrannical, shady, and genuinely mean Karen getting it in the end.

This revenge is borderline nuclear. 

Creepy Local Urban Legends From All Over the Place


It's a big world with a lot of history, and we've got to fill it up with something. Just about everywhere has its own tales of local ghosts, sea monsters, pig men and phantom roadside assistance. Some have actual cultural folk history, and others are like, a bridge in San Antonio, but they've all go their weird merits. For some extra strangeness, here are creepy moments that people won't forget anytime soon.

Twitter Thread About Rick And Morty Goes Off The Rails


Every now and again perfect strangers band together to create an internet artifact that's as wildly unexpected as it is strangely hilarious. This is certainly one of those times. We have a ton of people playing off one another as they work on "clarifying" what "Rick and Morty" is. It's a totally random thread, and very well might leave you in awe.
