Robbery Thwarted By Quick-Thinking Gasoline Shooter

When these guys pulled their van up, they probably thought they had an easy victim; an unarmed person pumping gas. What they didn't think about what that that person did have something to fight with; the gas nozzle itself. It's unorthodox quick thinking, but it was effective. Being soaked with gasoline puts one at a major disadvantage during any altercation. Zoolander taught us that this kind of behavior is unadvisable, but it seemed like this person was left with no other option. Extra points for the spray he got in the van.

Gamer Sings For Life, Wholesome Gold Ensues

What a wonderful time to be alive. Just imagine a scenario where this guy sings a song in a video game, and so many people praise it online that he proceeds to get signed by an actual record label. Honestly, it seems like that's something that's already happened to someone out there.

Temp Tries To Get Employee Fired Behind Their Back

The real kicker here is that she had the irrational nerve to try and use them for a reference after this whole mess. Sounds like she's in dire need of a reality check. 

Choosy Beggar Wants Homework Assignments Done Before Payment

The world's just never going to run out of terribly entitled, delusional, and downright cheap individuals that insist on wasting the time of sellers just trying to have a rational negotiation. It sounds like this choosing beggar wanted 22 homework assignments done, but without having to worry about paying for all that hard work. Yeah, good luck. For another ridiculous choosy beggar scenario check out this dude who complained about a $1 taco, and proceeded to get set straight by the owner. 

Understanding Physics Professor Dismantles Flat Earthers

Flat earthers really have their work cut out for them with this one. 

Woman Complains About Lousy Customer Service, Gets Called A Karen

The term "Karen" gets thrown around a whole lot these days. It's grown to be the go-to name to assign to anyone who insists on being a terribly entitled, straight up nasty human being to folks that are working customer service jobs. With all that being said, it seems like this woman was wrongly called a "Karen." She was dealing with some genuinely poor customer service, and decided to call the company out on it. 

Dad Fires His Son for Stealing from Work

Nothing adds to the entitlement just like the whole "boss's kid" mentality. At least the dad went and did something about it. The kid even tried to frame another employee. For some more work-related foibles, here are the fastest ways people's co-workers got fired. For another kid stepping way over his bounds, here's a manipulative son who tried to sell his mom's house and cancelled her job interview.

Savvy Customer Accuses Karen of Being Manager

It's not uncommon for an irate Karen to find a fellow customer and assume they're an employee based on the color of their shirt. In typical hyper-aggressive Karen fashion, any attempt to let the Karen know that she is mistaken will be met with a "you're just a lazy employee who just doesn't want to help me." Cue this bystander who figure out a way to beat Karen at her own stupid game. Customer service is a wild game.

People Who Proved They Weren't The Dumb One

More often than not, the more ready someone is to call someone else an idiot, the higher chance they themselves are the true moron. People will double down and say some wildly dumb things, but rarely do we get to prove these people wrong. It's at least a little nice to challenge the absurd things people say in complete seriousness.

History Memes For The Besmartened

What is left out there for the splendiferously learned among us to laugh about? Perhamspnt must ye be learned enough that though shalt iimplore thine knowledge of the histories.

Student Fails To Properly Check Backup Files Before IT Wipes Computer

Man oh man, let a story like this serve as a cautionary tale to anyone out there that's naively, proactively underestimating the importance of making sure that their backup files are in check. Fortunately, this student was able to eventually get the work that they needed to get done, done, and look back on their blunder with humor.

Thread: Dude Wanders Into Creepy Fake Town

There are definitely fake towns out there, but the specifics of how staffed they might be is up for investigation. How does it feel to walk around in a government fabricated ghost town? Is security for these places really so bad that random people can just accidentally wander in? Wouldn't put it past 'em. It ranks up there with creepy moments people won't forget anytime soon.

Wildest Experiences Had By Delivery Drivers

Delivery drivers are on the literal frontlines of madness. They're forced to muddle through the kinds of disorienting interactions that'd otherwise leave any rational person hopelessly confused, if not completely enraged. Seriously, delivery drivers are continually put through the ringer. Maybe this AskReddit thread that's filled to the brim with crazy experiences had by delivery drivers will encourage you to treat your next delivery driver with just a little bit more respect. 

Wholesome Gamers Throw Birthday Party For Lonely Kid

As people who have grown up playing video games, we scoff at the notion that video games inherently corrupt people and turn them into violent sociopaths. It's probably more likely that they just turn people into hardline capitalists determined to see how they can buff their intelligence with potions in order to siphon as much gold as possible out of their local apothecary. Video games give people a chance to nuke their fellow players out of orbit, but they also let us cooperate with people we might otherwise not, and sometimes that turns into wholesome moments such as this.

Twitter Thread: Dude Teams Up With Arizona Diamondbacks To Monitor Buddy's Date

Man, what a caring roommate this guy is. He decided to reach on out to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Twitter to coordinate an effort to check in on his buddy's date from afar. Suffice to say, the mission was most successful. This will either warm people's hearts, or inspire folks to NOT share with their friends that they're on dates. 

AskReddit Thread: Dumbest Things Students Got In Trouble For

School can get to be a very boring obligation, and it's only a matter of time before mischievous students end up stirring up some trouble to keep themselves entertained. With that being said, some actions absolutely don't warrant the punishments that they're met with. The folks in this AskReddit thread describe the most mind blowingly stupid things that they ended up getting busted for. Like, yo, let the kid look out the window and stare at the birds for a second. 

Misfortune Monday: Why Should Anything Go Right?

Not trying to be a Charlie Brown here, but it's not like there's a natural law dictating that our lives must go perfectly. We just kind of have to hope our lives play out better than horribly and not let the setbacks get to us. That's a hard thing to do in a merciless world where things just keep happening, but we're basically out of options. The world is home to misfortune and chaos, and we are its roommates.

Entitled Parents Lose It Over Parking Spot, Get Towed

I'm loving the pacing of this story. In that, the protagonist keeps a level head when faced with extremely aggressive and irrational antics from some entitled parents that were never going to be reasoned with. It's also great that everything was ultimately able to be de-escalated in such a way that nobody was harmed. Except for the entitled dad's ego. 

Cursed, Dumb, Vaguely Genius Food Creations

The internet's in no short supply of cursed food abominations that can effortlessly leave you at a loss for words. It's like, on the one hand the cursed food is "creative", but on the other hand it's soberingly disgusting. Some food ideas are better left as mere food ideas. Sometimes though, you just might end up dreaming up a dish that's actually amazing. I'm personally not opposed to the idea of having some mini pizza slices on a slice of pizza. 

Dog Owner Investigates Cause Behind Feathery Mess, Finds Culprit

Anyone who has a dog has likely encountered them creating a mess around the house at one point or another. Dogs just love to sink their teeth into those pillows, man. We definitely got a kick out of this humorous little emotional rollercoaster. That mugshot is pure gold. 

Random, Funny and Resplendent Tumblr Gems

Deep down, everyone is a kind of dork. That's to say, we all have some kind of specific interest that no one else cares about. The beauty of tumblr gems is that with enough passion, vivid description, and manic interjection, any little detail can be turned into something relatable. These stupendous tumblr gems are just another example of everyone's true nature expressed as jabs, quips, and Scooby-Doo fan theories.

Bookworm Student Has Book Confiscated, Master Plan Springs Into Action

We love a good old-fashioned wholesome petty revenge. Anyone who has a proclivity for reading books will likely get a kick out of this sweet tale. It's awesome that the teacher didn't meet that master plan with frustration, but instead just broke out in some appreciative laughter. For a more intense revenge tale, check out this pro revenge story about a testy HOA member who got someone's car towed, and then had the favor repeatedly returned. 

Weird and Wild Junk People Tried Selling Online

When it comes to selling random crap online, people are limited only by their imaginations, and that's kind of a problem. They sad that one man's trash is another man's treasure, but we'd be hard pressed to find the person who would consider soiled mattresses, creepy mannequins and hot dogs of mysterious origin as "treasure." Does that stop anyone from trying to sell their horrible junk online? Absolutely not.

Karen Wants Late Check Out, Gets Rejected, Says Hotel Is Mean

Whenever someone goes out of their way to say that it's not their fault, it's very likely that it's in fact their fault. It sounds like this Karen hotel guest adopted a stance of being completely disagreeable from the very beginning. And then when she gets rightfully rejected, she proceeds to ask for the manager. Of course. We're just wondering how many other times she tried to pull a stunt like this. Like, she needs four hours to search her hotel room for an ID? Um, okay. Okay, Karen. For another Karen tale check out the time that a customer Karen asked to speak to the manager, and then proceeded to get righteously checkmated. 

Tumblr Thread: Bilingual Struggles Inspire Hilarious Fails

The brain has a hard time hopping between languages. Inevitably, brain farts occur. What begins as a humorous enough Tumblr thread about when you can tell that a bilingual character was clearly written by someone who is not a bilingual person, evolves into an even funnier thread about the various blunders that can occur in the bilingual realm. For some more gold from Tumblr, check out this Tumblr thread about the wild cons that people were able to pull off just by having complete, unwavering confidence.

This collection of the worst adult temper tantrums that people ever ended up witnessing is a whole lot of absurdity. 

Rude Gentleman Demands No Ice, Gets Less Than That

For some reason rude customers get this idea in their head that servers and bartenders are physically incapable of being mean right back to them. Sure it's often a safe bet that service people have to be nice to you, but why push it?  You see it time and time again, like this bartender maliciously complying with a customer who wanted a bigger glass, or this jerkbag who gave a server an ultimatum and ended up paying for 25 beers.

Restaurant Sign Dispenses Jokes and Wisdom

Why not get all your musings from a Tex-Mex restaurant sign in Austin, Texas? There's something so folksy yet official about sign jokes. Maybe the knowledge that a random person had to go out there and put up every letter by hand just gives it more meaning? Maybe it's the boldness of putting opinions on a big sign for thousands to see? Maybe we just like signs. It definitely works for this sign whose pun game is too on point.

People's Most Triumphant "I Told You So" Moments

We shouldn't be happy when bad things happen, but the whole world would be lying if it never admitted that some satisfaction comes with being right. That "I told you so" momentis sweet and it is strong. The feeling of righteous indignation is nice, even when it comes from your brother in law electrocuting himself while installing a lightbulb improperly.
