Well, Swiss hockey coach, Christian Wohlwend is the living, breathing definition of "honest" in human flesh. This quick little video segment is from back in 2018 when he was still a coach, and being asked what he thought his team's odds were. Basically, he didn't foresee a bright future for his team.
There's definitely something to be said about the power of reading a room, and ultimately what that can do for you when it comes to trying to maintain a flowing conversation. It'd appear that this interviewer misread the general vibe from Tommy Lee jones, just a bit.
Maybe it wouldn't be so embarrassing if this lady's pants hadn't split. Maybe it would have gone a little better if she had hung on. Maybe she just wasn't prepared to ride a camel. Also, gotta hand it to Eastern Europe. We totally forgot that straight-out-of-a-cartoon looking circuses like this were still a big thing in some places.
We've all lost some work to the fates of computer junk, but usually we have the benefit of blaming the system we're using. We get to say "damn this program, I thought I had that crap saved but it's done screwed me over again!" But not this time. IT gets some characters, like this guy who thought he knew better than IT but learned otherwise.
It's a quick and agitating story about a human being like the one we have in this tale, that can really bring the blood to a boil, when it comes to stewing over how certain incompetent individuals end up in the positions of power that they do. Seriously, it sounds like it's only a matter of time before John ends up making a fail on such a scale that the company itself suffers a big hit.
The name of the game in this educational Tumblr thread is to not sleep on sleep. Those zzz's are crucial toward maintaining some kind of balance in one's life. With that being said, we clearly live in a society that oftentimes operates at such a fast and competitive pace that actually locking down the proper amount of sleep every night can become a terrible challenge in and of itself. Keep the Tumblr vibes going with this collection of totally random, strange, and on point Tumblr gems.
Of course the stereotypical choosy beggar falls back on the seemingly automated, rude response. This definitely isn't the first time that a cheap and shameless choosy beggar has tried to use a dating app to score a free ride, and we're sure it's not going to be the last time. There are tons of people that frequent these different dating sites that are just trying to score free stuff. You've just got to keep a watchful eye out for the signs, and then, maybe you just don't care.
Man oh man, our hearts go out to anyone working in the sewage/draining industry who ends up having to deal with these kinds of terribly entitled, if not delusional customers. This scenario was shady from the very beginning. And then after the customer blatantly wastes the poor dude's time, he has the audacity to get all nasty toward the guy. Good riddance and good luck getting that issue resolved. Seems like most of the moral judges in the comments section agreed that this guy wasn't in the wrong at all for walking out on the "job."
There's a rich history of bosses orchestrating their own downfall and this one is a stellar example. This lady's genius idea was to make their product crappier while keeping prices high and treating staff like garbage. Where could that go wrong? Some bosses make it clear right away that playing along won't be worth it. Here are some job listing horror stories as well as reasons people quit their jobs on the first day.
People live to talk about Lord of The Rings, be it discussions on Boromir's death, or this tumblr thread on Elvish dialects. Ever watch the Lord of The Rings Trilogy and think "I wonder if Gimli is a bad boyfriend?" Well let there be less ambiguity about those thoughts with this handy guide. Like real life, everyone has their quirks. Basically the only thing to keep in mind is "never Denethor. Never ever Denethor. Don't you ever." For another flight of fancy into the absurd details of a fictional universe, here's how Star Wars characters would take their coffee.
There's no perfect script for how a physical relationship should unfold. That means any interaction which might turn sexy can be fraught with ambiguities. As people, sometimes we're just not looking for those signals right away. That or we don't believe anyone would ever be as direct but also indirect as "can you help me change my sheets with me in them." Whether it's because people are scared, overly polite or totally oblivious, there are times guys miss obvious signals.
Seriously, if you ever think you're having a tough morning/afternoon/evening, maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to find some temporary solace in knowing that there's literally a species of bird out there in this wild world that's been named the Go-Away Bird. We're ready for more of these.
Sure, there are history memes for the already learned and work memes for those of us who made it out, but there remains a festering pile of memories in everyone regarding their time in school. The horrible group projects, the cringeworthy presentations, the stressful tests and the absurdity of it all left marks on all of us. Some of those marks are somewhat nice, like this nostalgic thread on elementary school, but a lot of them are just scars.
Well oh well, this new roommate is coming in hot on the scene with all kinds of red flag behavior. Their reasoning for why they shouldn't be on the hook for paying for the 2/3 rooms that they're occupying is total nonsense. Sounds like the best move here could be to backtrack on this particular new roommate, and get someone new in there. For some more roommate drama check out this dude who reached his breaking point with some roommates over rent division.
Like Pixar movies and Harry Potter, the denizens of Tumblr have always had a strong knowledge of young adult dystopian fiction. For a while there it was like every new book for tweens was about a teenager in a messed up hierarchy forced to play games of death. There's nothing exactly wrong with that. It's just that like anything else, people's favorite books of their early teen years have become a coldly optimized version of themselves, designed to take advantage of a cultivated interest. Tumblr has a habit of noticing things, like when Tumblr broke down the nine types of movie posters.
There are a surprising number of people out there that decide to take revenge on inconsiderate, downright belligerent drivers with indestructible mailboxes. In this case though, we have a construction crew boss who hit his breaking point when it came to the amount of nonsense and criminal behavior that he'd put up with from some vandals. Suffice to say, the revenge was swift and critically effective.
Humans' capacity for enacting cunning and truly brutal revenges on one another is both impressive and vaguely terrifying. If anything it's revenge stories like the ones we have here that should serve as a solid reminder to treat other folks nicely. The last thing you'd want is to find yourself on the receiving end of one of these revenges because you wouldn't play nice with someone.
The flow is otherworldly. Just sitting back and watching this in action might remind you of your own life moments where everything seemed to work out just as you planned.
Those Sunfishes are something else, man. They look like they're literally not of this dimension. Or like some aliens just dropped them off on planet earth to see how they'd fare. Also, can we take a moment of appreciation for the awesome amount of chill that sunfishes have.
Sys admins have to put up with all kinds of unnecessary nonsense while on the job. It could be a panicked mom who washed her kid's computer and then didn't understand why it didn't work. Or perhaps, something more outright absurd like what we have here. The dude's Karen coworker spilled a whole ton of water all over some power outlets, and then "didn't understand" how that would manifest in the power being cut out in her work station. Was she just too embarrassed to own up to the truth, or what? That seems like the most believable possibility.
Creativity is a good thing, but sometimes our creativity gets in the way of our sense and we end up making impressive creations of questionable taste. And that's not to say this stuff is useless either. People create effective low budget DIY solutions for their problems all the time. It's just that some ideas in practice tend to lack...uh... grace.
Anyone who has ever enduring the profound pain that is a back spasm knows that when those strike, it's no joke. You might find yourself questioning how you're going to come out the other end of the experience alive. A decent back spasm can test you to the very depths of your soul. In this case, it sounds like the back spasm was in a league of its own. Fortunately though, the dude was able to get the medical attention they needed. And hey, they got a great, unforgettable story out of the experience.
Having a saltwater tank isn't as easy as throwing some salt and water together in a jug like it's Kool-Aid and calling it a day. Karen wasn't having all this "responsible pet owner" talk, so this employee stepped in to show her exactly what she'd need to take care of a starfish. Of course, Karen didn't take kindly to this employee who didn't want her to slowly torture a starfish to death. Will the Karen customersof the world ever learn their lesson? Doubtful.
Many folks out there have experienced those relationships with partners that felt like they'd be with one another till they took their last breaths on this wild planet. And then, as can happen under the influence of time ceaselessly passing on by, the love that once blared with an unwavering strength for all to see, ends up losing its momentum. Sometimes, people just end up growing apart. That potential future can be a terrifying one to mull over, and this Tumblr user does an awfully effective job at poetically breaking down how love can wither away over time. Just proceed with caution, it might awaken the existential dread.
If you want to pivot into some more humorous, sparkling gems uncovered from the depths of the Tumblr realm check these out.
We don't live in a mathematically perfect world of right angles and whole numbers, and that's a problem. We're human, so off-center imperfections are the name of our game, and getting used to that reality never gets much easier. Just one "not my job" moment is enough to make something not work in a way that frustrates us completely, but there's not much we can do about it.
This mom decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not she was in the wrong for enforcing a house rule that prevented her daughter from being able to sleep in the same bed as her partner. It sounds like the daughter didn't take too kindly to this house rule. Shocker. Then the mom insists that she's being punished by her daughter for enforcing a house rule. Honestly, it seems well within her daughter's right to not want to visit the house if she's having to deal with not being able to sleep in the same bed as her partner.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being smart. The world needs smart people. Like a lot. The problem is that dumb people have a tendency to think that they're smart. It could be caused by narcissism. It could be due to the fact that social media gives people a whole lot of space to talk about themselves. Either way these brain tyrants who think they're literal geniuses have a peculiar way of somehow being condescending and stupid at the same time. It's maddening.
It's one of the more novel and petty forms of revenge we've seen, but damn if it's not compelling. This tumblr user wanted to get back at their homophobic mother in a public show of force, so they landed on sharing her prized meatloaf recipe with the whole-ass internet. It also inspired another user to compile an entire compendium of spite recipes. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but in this case it's a whole cookbook. There's never a dull moment when it comes to random tumblr gems.
People will fanfic anything and there is no way to escape it. Even if you're just an insurance mascot. This would be a lot worse if it were some tacky native advertising scheme to make insurance companies seem quirky, but in this case it really looks like people make insurance fan fiction for the love of the game. For some more unbridled creativity people threw together, here's an awesome tumblr thread about being a human on a Vulcan ship or this tumblr thread imagining college students living with the Addams family.
This tech support tale has just the right amount of humor in it. It's a nice break from the typical scenarios involving poor tech support employees having to deal with all kinds of wildly entitled Karens and other aggressively inconsiderate customers. In this case though, it's a mere situation involving a company prankster who decided that they'd play around with some keyboard keys to create chaos in the workplace. Those employees must've felt like they were enduring some kind of glitch in the matrix moment. For another tech support tale check out the time that a lazy manager got caught lying, and then how an employee ended up getting promoted.
