People's Worst Job Interview Fails


Anyone's nerves can quickly get the best of them. At a moment's notice your brain might decide to throw you into a completely disorienting panic where you find yourself uncontrollably shaking, sweating profusely, and blabbering like a newborn baby. The hope is that such a state doesn't come for someone when they're in the middle of an otherwise smooth job interview. But hey. Life's a game of ups and downs. Can't have one without the other. Can't have those momentary wins without the fails. Maybe these people's job interview fails will make you feel better about any of your own. 

Inspirational Tumblr Thread On Embracing The Lazy Life


With a deepening dependency on technology can come an even more rampant usage of social media and other apps on our phones. All of this screen time can end up contributing toward quite the stressful emotional rollercoaster of just trying to make it in this life from a relatively peaceful and centered place. The value of slowing down amidst the chase for that next paycheck can't be expressed enough. Not only that, but it sounds like it's a collective biological inclination to not feel the need to grind all the time. A little laziness here and there should be encouraged, not condemned. For another entertaining read from Tumblr check out the time that an employee took a petty revenge on a raging Karen.

Process Servers' Most Bizarre Scenarios Serving People


The process servers in this world deserve way more recognition than they get for having to be on the frontlines of some truly bizarre behavior from a wild bunch of human beings. This is just the kind of thread that will either swiftly convince people that were considering careers as process servers to abandon that idea, or to just double down on the whole thing. You'd certainly be guaranteed to have your fair share of unforgettable days on the job. 

Lowballer Won't Pay For Completed Work, Artist Isn't Having It


It shouldn't be that hard for this lowballerto understand. If you tell someone that you're gonna pay them to do a thing and then they do that thing, and then you don't pay them, they don't have to give you access to that thing. It's the same reason miffed contractors make the news every few months for taking their backhoes to some sketchy client's newly completed storefront. For another wild encounter with a sketchy business, here's a sketchy business that got called out, then tried to accuse a freelancer of being a shyster.

Man Conquers Bus Driver's Chaotic Evil


Public transportation can try one's soul like none other. Whether you're caught up in a regular work commute where you're forced to take the subway, and share a tightly packed space with a cast that's composed of equal parts frustrated, miserable, and downright insane individuals; or maybe you take the bus. The thing about the bus in particular is it can end up being a terribly frustrating game where you find yourself chasing a bus down one day, after the driver filled your heart with hope only to stomp that right out. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr thread about eating good meals at crime fronts.

Walmart Manager Fires Guy From Job That Isn't His


What happens when someone who isn't your boss fires you from a job you don't have? Well, this. Even when confusion comes to play, sometimes the right people get hired and fired, like this secret shopper Karen who got fired for being too much of a Karen or this wholesome time the janitor dressed up, got confused with the manager and got his job.

30 Brilliant Marriage Tweets That We Can All Agree With


There's nothing more brilliant than sharing your entire personal life in close proximity to the same person. Day in and day out they are always there just... observing your strange existence. 

You might be thinking "Sheesh guy, someone treated you wrong." but I really do mean that in the best way you could possibly interpret it. There's a certain magical charm in knowing that there is someone out there, RIGHT there, who knows certain aspects of you better than you know yourself.


So here's to our 'better halfs'; For the good and the weird. 

Sign Jokes For Those Who Prefer Their Puns Large and In Public


Why do we like funny signs? Maybe seeing something in big letters just makes it nicer? Someone had to get some big letters, and sometimes even a long pole with a suction cup on the end, to share these sign jokes and wisdom with the world. It's always worth it for the dad jokes. For some scatological service signs, here are some musings on sewage trucks.

20 Classic Driving FAILs Brought to You By People Who Shouldn't Be Driving


There are certain people in this world that just should not be behind the wheel of a car. There's nothing more terrifying than one of these individuals being in control of a 2 ton hunk of steel that is being propelled by thousands of small explosions every minute.

These people must have been inspired by Miley Cyrus because they ahem came in like a wrecking ball.

How's that for a timely reference? Nothing cooler than calling back to a 7 year old song lyric.

Anywho - There's nothing quite as sweet as a classic collection of FAILs so drink up and relish. 

Company Plugs Every Ethernet Cable Into Router At Random, Distress Calls Tech Support


People that have the daunting audacity to tamper with complicated systems that they absolutely don't understand can end up creating some literal waking nightmares for tech support. I mean, you've got to wonder with terrified fascination what was going through these people's heads when they went ahead and unplugged all of those ethernet cables without noting where they would then need to be properly plugged back in. Really, the only outcome seemed like it was going to be a panicked call out to tech support. If this tech support tale got you going, check out another tech support tale where the customer didn't realize that files needed to be double clicked to be opened.

14 Things That We Were Cautioned About As Kids That Were Over Exaggerated


When you're a kid there's mystical world out there, all build on the perspectives and expectations that the people around you have built for you. Your wild imagination takes the threats of which adults (or siblings) have made mention and wildly exaggerates their threat levels. You never know, you might encounter a whirlpool walking to school one day.

Now, I'm turning 29 in a month and I've never even seen a whirlpool or encountered quicksand - but safe to say that I have been ready for those threats for a quarter of a century should they ever reveal their threatening visage.


When I was about 5 years old my sister convinced me that a "Tongue Monster" lived in our basement. This beast of a creature was a giant of sorts who was said to have had tongues covering his entire body. I was horrified that I might encounter this scoundrel and stayed clear of the basement for months, and kept a weary eye out for this fleshy Lovecraftian horror for even longer than that.

Looking back, I'm not certain what was so threatening about the guy, there was never any threat - perceived or otherwise - that I was going to be licked to death should I venture into the basement alone. For all I knew, we might have gotten along famously. I am certain that he must have had exceptional taste.

It's been a long time since the Tongue Monster was at the top of my list of fears and risks and I do hope that he has manage to sustain stable employment and make a living off of his unique talents. I like to imagine that he might be a food critic somewhere (aren't all critics monsters of sorts?) or has otherwise managed to take on a new form and has attained international success as a famous chef.

Instead of wasting energy on my Tongue Monster, whirlpools or quicksand it would have been nice if someone could have instead warned me of dangers that are more pertinent to me now. Like 'Quickdraw Danny the Dastardly Debt Doppler' or 'Tricky Theodore the Traveling Tax Taker'.

I feel like there might have been real lessons to learn from those.


Customer Service Memes To Dull The Grind


Anyone who has worked customer service has seen some of the more entitled, ugly sides of humanity. For example, this time a customer was furious for not being seated at closing time or these unfortunate times people went full Karen. Having to work in a professional setting that depends on you being nice to people who wish they could melt you with their eyes is a singular experience, and it's something that only those who've worked customer service can really fully understand.

Nightmare Neighbor Tries to Claim Guy's Driveway and Screws Himself Out of His Own


There is absolutely nothing worse than being stuck living next to an infernally terrible neighbor. The kind of person who intentionally goes out of the way to make life a living misery for themselves and everyone around them. They can take a great neighborhood and disintegrate it within a exceptionally short period of time.

It's always satisfying to see the scorched earth approach backfire spectacularly as it did here for poor ol' Mike...  


To add to the entertainment, a bunch of readers had their own experiences with this particular topic and oh man are there some good ones.

Belligerent Neighbor Damages Family's Car, Refuses To Own Up, Backfires Terribly


Unfortunately, far too many of us can find ourselves in the miserable predicament that is realizing we've moved into neighborhoods that are weighed down by the presence of profoundly difficult individuals. It sounds like this guy was never going to be able to be reasoned with. Honestly, one would just hope that he finally got the wakeup call that he so sorely needed by having the cops show up to press the charges that they did on him. Time to clean up your act, bud. For another sweet malicious compliance story, check out the time that a salty old man pitched a whole fit over some salty licorice.

Witty Flight Attendant Delivers Sweet Justice and Gives Entitled Jerk Exactly What He Asked For


It's never a good idea to get on the wrong side of a service worker... Especially in a situation where they hold immense power over your experience.

We've all probably been in a situation like this where we have to put up with people acting the fool in public and it's frustrating when you can't do anything about it. Even more so when you are the service worker and have to keep wearing that smile since "The customer is always right." 

Well this entitled individual was more right than he knew and certainly more right than he wished that he was. Props to the flight attendant in this situation for delivering that sweet taste of subtle justice.

It's always satisfying to see this pulled off well. 

Red Flags That People Are Terrible With Their Money


Nobody said that managing one's finances is easy. Money comes and it goes. Some people are just better at saving their money for the hard times than others. Some folks seem to spend their paychecks the moment that they show up. Hopefully none of these ring a bell. But hey, maybe they'll serve as their own kind of wake up calls.

Dudes That Engaged In Remarkably Questionable Decisions


We're not sure if any kind of explanations at all could cover these terribly questionable decisions. Sometimes, us human beings end up leaving our common sense right at the door, and proceed to make the kinds of decisions that really seem like they're just tempting a destructive fate itself. 

Various Things That Can Be Surprisingly Dangerous


Just about any seemingly harmless thing, from fruit juice to sleeping has the potential to play a part in someone's ultimate demise. Things we do every day or only think about passively have fatal implications and pitfalls. Sure, most of the time things are fine. But that's most of the time. But don't let it get to you. Just be aware of the things that are more dangerous than people realize.

Artful Creations of Dubious Taste


Some of us would absolutely love to ride around on a motorcycle that looks like a hot dog. Most of us wouldn't, but some of us would. That's where impressive creations of dubious taste come in. We don't have to like all the same things. In some cases, the things we like are almost universally regarded as horrible. But what matters is that someone is willing to use their skill to execute impressive creations of questionable taste.

24 Things That We Can All Just Strangely Relate To


Occasionally you stumble across something that really makes you stop and think about the theory that we are all just part of one collective consciousness.

You know? Like there are so many things that we have all done at certain points in our lives that -before the internet, we would have just thought were unique (so not like the other girls.) A perfect example of this is that game that I used to play when I was riding in the backseat of the car on road trips or out to grandmas house. I'd always imagine that there was a little guy running along fences and things as we drove along. I thought this was unique until I stumbled across a thread a few years ago about this exact thing.

Apparently, EVERYONE does it.

Anyways, yeah. I digress. These images and memes are pretty much exactly that.

Bon appetit.  

Divorce Lawyer Demands Financials, Guy Incapacitates His Fax Machine


It's no secret that people do crazy things during divorces. Emotions are running high, money and laws are involved, and that's not even mentioning the massive amounts of spite that people can hold onto in these situations. This guy got a request for 3 years worth of financial information, and well, he sent it. For some more legal shenaniganry, here's a lawyer who pulled a dash cam switcheroo on a rigid insurance attorney.

Math-Allergic Simpleton Doubles Down On Stupid Hill, Proves Self Incompetent


Not all of use are blessed with rudimentary math or internet research skills, and thus are forced to learn things the hard, embarrassing, and stupid way. After all this is said and done, the real question to ask might be whether or not it's economically smart or ethical for any one person to have that much money in the first place, but that's neither here nor there. For another case of someone fighting a meaningless and stupid battle, here's Tumblr explaining burgergate, the most unnecessary chicken sandwich drama.

Girl Gets Revenge On Teacher Who Told Her That She Would Never Succeed in the Best Way Possible


As we go through life we're always going to find ourselves at odds with certain people. It's just in our nature. Even if you try your best to please everyone and steer clear of conflict there are always going to be those out there who object to something basal about your existence.

It might be that you offend them in some way: Maybe your beliefs and ethos just don't align with theirs. Maybe it's something you said that rubbed them the wrong way. Maybe it's subconscious and they don't like your laugh or the way your voice sounds when you talk.

Whatever it might be, there's only one way to beat these people, these - haters. By moving forward, persevering, and living your best life -being the best version of yourself that you can be.

That's what our protagonist has managed to achieve here. By living her best version of herself that she can be she has managed to stick it to someone who looked down on her.

And that's the best type of revenge there is. 

30 Incredibly Uncomfortable Images That Probably Should Be Illegal


There are somethings out there that just shouldn't be allowed to exist. Like the platypus. Who thought that thing up? This vaguely duck-like mammal thing that lays eggs and poisonous (venomous?) spurs like if Clint Eastwood had snake ankles.

The images that follow fall into this same category. There are so many questions that come to mind when you look at these by they all boil down to pretty much the same thing....


Just... Why?

Guy Gets Revenge On Wife's Divorce Attorney By Sending Him a Massive 'Fax Bomb' That Destroys Their Printer


There's nothing better than when some complete toolbag gets given exactly what they've asked for and in doing so also gets served justice.

I'm never entirely sure what people were expecting in situations like this. Clearly this lawyer was trying to prey on his client's ex -thinking that there was no way he was possibly going to be able to provide what was requested. But on the off chance that the guy did have all of records, wouldn't this kind of be the expected outcome?

Anyways, this lawyer decided to tool around with the wrong guy and got exactly what was coming to him.
