Clearly, this gopher was just trying to get his work done for the day. Unfortunately (or fortunately for us), the pit bull had other plans in mind. I just love how calmly he continues to pester that gopher. The fact that things don't seem to escalate into any kind of dangerous situation is nice too. Just a couple pals muddling through a simple miscommunication problem.
Honestly, it's really the sweet, golden, cringeworthy silence that ties this whole video together. If only we could get a pure glimpse into what must've been flashing through the mind of Jessica when she realized that she was indeed, live.
Since the internet's been around we've had irrationally emboldened folks diving into the comments section to drop nuggets of pure, dizzying ignorance. Sometimes, other folks hit their breaking points. When those moments occur, people have a tendency to get absolutely crushed by the power of words. We definitely appreciate the spicy silvertongues that go the extra mile when it comes to being extra creative with their insults. Maybe this series of times that people got KO'ed by words will inspire you to unleash destruction of your own in the next YouTube comments section.
In our own lives, we find ourselves in inconvenient petty struggles that take up way too much of our time. While these challenges are cosmically small, they can grow to inconvenience our personal lives and become intolerable, forcing us to become creative problem solvers. For example, here's a dad who designed a masterful basketball hoop loophole and a guy who battled an unreasonable store owner who wouldn't update his phone number.
Sometimes people don't seem to understand that driving is a cooperative event. That means risky maneuvers like strapping a literal ton of garbage to the roof of your car or dangling a dryer out the back while pushing 70 down the freeway isn't exactly the best way to inspire confidence in the drivers around you. We get to see enough unsafe maneuvers at work, it just so happens people are compelled to do dumb crap on their commute too.
Hopefully at least someone involved in these wild series of conversations felt nothing short of immense gratitude over the fact that their business wasn't completely destroyed by a user that had the wherewithal to try out the password assigned to every user. It sounds like the company got by purely because nobody ever honestly thought that the password could be so obvious. Somehow, that whole approach to security seems like it can work sometimes. Just a bit of a gamble. For another ridiculous tech support tale check out the time that a customer thought that the internet runs on magic.
Graphic design, font choice and building decisions seem simple enough in our heads, but they come with pitfalls in practice. Design failures are all around us. One slip of the font can turn a fortress into a fartress or a public area into a pubic one. The architects of these design failures could use a little bit of blame. Of course, for the rest of us they just make life more fun and interesting.
It should come as no surprise that building stuff is hard. Or at least there are a whole lot of wrong ways to do it. Those ways reveal themselves in "not my job" moments of incompetent construction. How hard is it to build a functional set of stairs, do proper electrical or put in a window? These people wouldn't know because it's not their job.
It seems as if the world's never going to run out of slimy landlords that are all trying to pull fast ones on tenants that they vastly underestimate. In this case, good on the tenant for sniffing out the landlord's shady intentions pretty much from the get-go. It sounds like the landlord really did himself in when it was all said and done. Generally, it's only a matter of time before the world's sketchy landlords end up hitting their own self-destruct buttons. For some more juicy landlord drama check out this landlord who refused to return a deposit, got taken to court, appealed that, and then lost everything.
Unfortunately, we've all come across folks that insist on putting out all kinds of tryhard energy that only ends up making them look worse when it's all said and done. For instance, the folks that try to gain the favor of the rest of the group by putting down any oddballs that might be around. It's like they're so clueless that they went ahead and believed that the popular bully in a throwback film that got popular through being an insufferable prick was an acceptable representation of how to carry yourself as a human being. Um, no. Not at all.
Who would've known that oranges and balloons could create such destruction? Apparently they're anything but a match made in heaven.
Everyone in the service industry has at one point had to deal with ridiculous customer demands. Whether that's demanding exactly a pound of wings and getting less wings or rudely demanding no ice and getting less than that, clueless customers have a virtuosic way of asking for something stupid or impossible, then being furious after getting what they want.
If you knew anyone who did even one thing an 8 year old does on a regular basis, you'd kick them out of your friend group instantly. A grown man who thirsts for bleach and poops his pants when he doesn't get mac and cheese? It's no wonder "childish" is an insult for adults. Kids are just weird and dumb people. We know, because we remember.
There are people in this world that absolutely aren't playing around when it comes to their burritos. This Tumblr user's fiery rant about their experience with a burrito that definitely didn't live up to their standards is one for the books. It sounds like the thing was an unacceptable mess in their eyes. Hopefully whoever was responsible for putting together the burrito in the first place never comes across this biblical verbal takedown.
There are a few ways to interpret the intriguing genetic diversity of human beings. One way is to look in awe at the limitless possibilities of our own twisting evolutionary path. The other way is to look in shame at our own genetic dead-end bodies, every day becoming more self-conscious about our weird nostrils and non-matching feet. But in the end, genetic variation is a good thing for survival and who knows, maybe the next great step in human evolution will be having a slightly longer big toe that helps us run away from the murder-bots or something. At least we can look at our grandparents for comparison like this tumblr user looks at their ageless matriarch.
Dad jokes. Are the good? Are they funny even in the slightest? Do they have literally any value whatsoever? Dads sure seem to think so. The torrent of dumb puns and literalisms spilling forth from a dad when he's really on fire is something to behold. Again, not something exactly great to behold. But definitely something to behold.
Nighttime has an uncanny knack for making a whole lot of everyday things seem exponentially creepier than if you'd simply seen them when it's light out. Our nerves can tend to be on edge when we're situated somewhere between the land of dreams and the waking state. With all of that being said, there's no getting around the fact that having a bear cruise up to your tent to press its nose up against your humble abode would be just a bit off-putting.
Whoever was put in charge of this restaurant's social media account clearly has some learning to do. They completely failed to deescalate the situation, and instead only ended up making themselves look a whole lot worse. They really should've expected nothing less after posting a pretty aggressive flyer. We're just grateful that the comments section delivered some sweet and satisfying gems.
We love an educational post from Tumblr every now and again. In this case we have a wonderful Tumblr thread that pays homage to the world's craftspeople. You know, the people that gained their expertise through firsthand experience, and not necessarily what you can learn within the rigid confines of a textbook. This Tumblr thread might inspire you to reach out to those folks in your life that gained their wisdom through actual life experiences, and not what they picked up in the world of academia. For some more fun from Tumblr check out this thread about the ageless matriarch that is Mamaw. She's a gem that must be protected at all costs.
There's always gonna be someone who says a thing isn't spicy enough. So why not give them an opportunity to fly too close to the sun and get burned? Some customers will stand by their bad decisions, like this customer who demanded an extra hot tea and actually accepted it. But sometimes customers are so rude with their demands that they get the royal treatment like this rude gentleman who demanded no ice and got less than that.
You can learn something new every day from the wonderful, ever wandering minds of the Tumblr world. In this case, we have a quick yet educational breakdown on why you definitely don't want to mess around with owls. If it seems like an owl has assumed an aggressive demeanor, and is pretty much squaring up against you...that's because it probably is. Honestly, picturing this particular owl swimming around a lake with those big eyes is already kind of terrifying. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr post about how random knowledge can end up being super clutch.
This isn't the first time that we've seen some beef break out in a parking lot over someone's inability to be a reasonable human being, and simply move their car out of the way. We're sure that it won't be the last time we see it either. In this case though, the customer clearly messed with the wrong dude. Just picturing the look of panicked wonder that must've flashed across this dude's face when he saw the ramifications of what he'd done. Oh boy. For another petty revenge-inspired parking lot drama check out this post about a parking lot bully who sniped a driver's parking space, and then the petty revenge that ensued.
Is that a toxic sludge spill or just a swan with its head in a pipe? Is that a yacht or a clothes iron? Is that a pyramid or an umbrella? Double take moments like these are a constant source of eye confusion and they'll never let up. There'll always be someone out there with their arm in just the right place to make it look like a butt. That's just the nature of skewed perspective.
History memes aren't for everyone. Maybe all the plebeians with their Slim Jims and reality television will have their minds sated by relatable content, but not the brooding, dour historian. No, the historians among us will only draw pleasure from history memes for the historically inclined. Yes, the only thing that can light up the brain of an enlightened one is history memes for the splendiferously learned. That and maybe some fancier, beefier Slimothy Jameses.
Anyone who has ever had some elderly neighbors knows that it can end up being an environment that's unfortunately ripe for dealing with all kinds of petty complaints. That goes without saying that not every old person is going to make a whole fuss out of having young neighbors. Just some of them. And oh boy, does this old lady sound like she was having a particularly moody day. Well, all that moodiness resulted in her getting called out pretty harshly. Maybe too harsh, or perhaps justified? You be the judge.
Some family members take on mythical status, be it from their longevity or antics. In some cases it's both. But really if someone is around for long enough they usually have a wealth of interesting qualities to reflect on. For example, this huge list of all the animals one tumblr user's grandpa brought home or this grandpa who hate banana bread he hated for years out of love.
Some customers love to take their bad attitudes due to whatever's going on in their lives, and then just stink up an otherwise peaceful establishment with all that negative energy. It sounds like this dude was nothing but trouble from the moment he walked in. Naturally, when he gets exactly what he wanted after pitching a nice rude temper tantrum, he gets even angrier. For another malicious compliance story, check out this rude customer who got his rightful comeuppance at an auto-salvage yard.
Man oh man, you've really got to feel it for anyone who is responsible for cleaning out those hotel rooms. People can tend to be absolute messy animals when it comes to what they'll do to a hotel room. This guy's stay at a hotel couldn't have been any more disastrous. We would've loved to have seen the look on his face when he realized what kind of destruction had been created by those dang seagulls. Like, absolute chaos. Most people would probably try to abandon the scene of the crime before any graver repercussions presented themselves.
It's honestly remarkable that the guy was able to fool the amount of people that he did. Literally all he was doing was sweating profusely on his chest and leaning back a bit. Apparently that's all it took to take people for a spin.
Human beings are problem solvers. But sometimes when we're designing a solution for one thing, our design failure results in a brand new problem. With something as simple as word placement or overzealous design, a sign for a window company can turn into a 40 foot long wiener. Anyway, some design fails deserve some blame.
