Entitled Karen Thinks Army Cadet Works At McDonald's


You just never know if you're about to cross paths with a ferociously entitled, plain old belligerent Karen who is determined to enact chaos and misery upon someone else's existence. In this case, we have no idea what must've been going through this entitled Karen's brain. It's almost like some of these people only get angrier when they're rightfully corrected on their prior brain fart. Sounds like this Karen absolutely got put in her place. For some more ridiculous Karen drama check out this story about a Karen who took her sweet time in a handicap space, and then proceeded to get blocked in. 

Mistaken Bozos Who Didn't Get The Joke


Remember, if someone says something confusing, incomprehensible, or absurdly dumb but also has dozens or hundreds of people responding positively to it, that's probably a joke. Some of us have a compulsion to state the obvious or even call other people stupid when they aggressively miss the joke, and that only serves to plunge them further into their hole of lameness. Just give it an extra second of thought or risk sliding into the ranks of mistaken people who missed the joke by miles.

Highly Unadvisable Life Pro Tips


There's nothing like some life pro tips that are entirely devoid of ethics, and could basically be seen as some immoral real life cheat codes.

If this got you going, check out some more bad life pro tips that won't help at all, over here.

Man Continually Violates HOA Rules, Asks If He's In The Wrong


We're no strangers to rather gnarly stories about the HOA making people's lives miserable. It sounds like by the nature of its very existence, the HOA just gets all up in people's business, and harasses them to no end. In this guy's case, he just wasn't having it. Naturally, the HOA didn't take too kindly to that attitude. For some more drama from the world of HOA madness, check out this story about an HOA member getting a neighbor's car towed, and then the favor that was returned. 

Employee on Last Day Leaves In Middle of Transaction


The last few days at a job can be a cornucopia of not giving a heck. And when it comes to staying late on your last day, only the rapidly decaying, invisible bonds of convention are what keep people from just going screw this I'm out. After dealing with enough ridiculous customer demands it sure has got to feel good to just leave in the middle of a customer interaction.

Entitled Folks And Their Never-Ending Demands


Is it really doing anyone a favor to be angry that a store is closed at closing time, or that someone charged you full price for an item? These entitled folks sure seem to think so.

Twitter Thread: Real World Implications Of The Avengers


Naturally, the Marvel movies portray all those iconic superheroes in such a way that there can oftentimes be a skimming over of the finer details, finer details that look like a whole lot of busted mailboxes and cars. If you have someone like Thanos roll into town to square off against the Avengers, you can pretty much count on your local grocery store being uprooted from the literal face of the earth. Also, probably every other store.

Oh boy, buckle on up for some more fun drama between coworkers. This time around, we've got a woman dealing with being called out by her pregnant coworker because she refused to pick up her extra work when she was on maternity leave. It seems totally reasonable that she didn't want to deal with the extra work, and especially when you factor in the fact that the lady had an assistant who could deal with the work while she was out. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community were in agreement that her decision to not cover the extra work was in fact totally understandable.

Trashtacular Moments of Shameless Garbage-osity


It's important to live without fear of judgement, but sometimes not giving a damn has unintended trashy consequences on those around us.

Unsafe Maneuvers From Those Tempting Fate


It should occur to everyone that letting your dog pilot your scooter is a bad idea, yet some of us choose to trudge further on life's metaphorical (or literal) tightrope. Is it that we have too much blind faith in our ability to complete these unsafe maneuvers? Is it the belief that we're invincible? Is it self-confidence? Is it frugality? Whatever the reason for the many safety failures out there, it doesn't make them any less of a spectacle.

Couple Has Wedding In Sign Language, Mom Can't Handle It


It seems like if you do most of your communicating in a particular language and you're planning your own event, it's well within your right to do that event in said language. And since most of their guests speak sign language anyway, the idea isn't so absurd. It seems like this mom isn't a huge fan of irony. It's reminiscent of this uncle who demanded a meat meal at a vegan wedding.

Aggressively Rude And Belligerent Designs


Every now and again we cross paths with a product that's so structurally vile, so aggressively inconsiderate to the space it occupies, that it can leave us speechless.

Socially Acceptable Behavior In "The Sims" That Conflicts With Reality


Many, many folks out there have gotten lost in the Pandora's Box that is "The Sims" video game experience. One moment you're busy building the house of your wildest, most grandiose fever dreams, and then the next moment, you're trying to figure out how to nurse one of your sims' bladders back to health, because they insist on not using the restroom when they should. It's a wild game. And it's even more fun to imagine what kinds of chaos would erupt were the Sims logic ever to bleed over into real life as we know it. 

Wholesome Memes to Engage The Feels

Most Hilarious "Kid Logic" Moments


There's no denying the fact that kids can oftentimes just be plain old weird and dumb. Harsh, but inarguably true.

Before that though, we all get to witness hilarious moments of completely, strikingly clueless "kid logic." 

Driver Reports Self For Courtesy, Ends Up With Hit-And-Run


What's the right thing to do when you hit a parked car in the middle of the night?

Unsafe Maneuvers That Would Make OSHA Cringe


People are often given a choice to do things the convenient way or the right way. Sometimes the convenient way involves dudes using their bodies as counterweights while one guy dangles over a ledge on a rickety ladder. These OSHA-Unapproved moments of safety failure remind us that the spectacle of doing something the wrong way isn't exactly worth it. While safety failures of OSHA-defying boldness might get things done quick, they also make you rethink risking your life just so your boss doesn't have to pay you for an extra two hours of set-up.

Customer Thinks Electronic Payment Works By Putting Paper Checks In Computer


I mean, hey, technology can be more disorienting and generally perplexing for some folks more than others. In this case though, the confusion runs so deep, it's so profound, that it's almost wholesome. It's like how can you be "mad" at someone who legitimately thinks that the way to submit an electronic payment is through putting physical paper checks into their computer? It's impossible. Impossible to be mad at that. For some more gold from the tech support world, check out this lazy manager who got caught lying, and then the employe who ended up getting promoted in the process.

Maybe it's the constant bobbing and omnipresent exhaustion of anyone working at sea. Whatever it is, weird stuff happens out there.

"Not My Job" Moments of Unprofessional Blunderosity


Here be the land of upside down signs, ironic building decisions and incomplete projects. We've all had our own "not my job" moments that we felt could wait until Monday morning and then were completely forgotten by then.
