MLB player Trea Turner went ahead and pulled off what very well might arguably be the smoothest slide of all time. Like, it's actually ridiculous. One of those moments in sports where you just kind of sit back and try to digest how someone could've pulled off the move in the first place.
This is a solid example of why it's generally the best life practice to do what one can to keep their personal lives as private as possible. It came to light awhile ago that Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis don't exactly do the whole showering with the soap thing as often as many folks are accustomed to hearing. So, when Kutcher made his appearance on GameDay the fans went ahead and trolled him extra hard.
This hawk thought it could just swoop in and take out a chicken, but the other farm animals weren't about to let that happen. These farm animals have each other's backs better than some of our own friends who don't return our calls, Bryan.
This is a solid glitch in the matrix moment right here. Seriously, what are the odds that this dude's prior job would mislabel their number on their magazine, and end up putting the number of his new gig? Truly wild. If you want to keep the tech support dramas rolling, check out this tech support tale where a coworker demanded a mathematically impossible computer, and then got proven incompetent.
It must have been interesting to have been a fly on the wall during the full swing of 80s business garbage, power plays and synergistic mumbo jumbo, but at the same time it seems like something that would be totally fine to have missed out on. Apparently this guy's "thing" was a cultish insistence on white shirts. For another stupid case of bosses mistaking someone's identity, here's this Walmart manager who fired a guy from a job that wasn't his.
Everything wants to call itself a life hack, but it's not exactly a life hack when it can also be called "just stealing." So here are some hilariously dumb life pro tips if you like the idea of pepper spraying yourself and going to jail to get a "leg up" in life. C'mon, really jack your game up with these bad life pro tips.
Sometimes it's obvious right away that you've dodged a bullet, like when you're looking at a fresh hole in your wall where you were standing a second ago. Other times it's less obvious, like discovering your high school crush is now on the no-fly list. We've all had some close calls, and sometimes it just makes us shiver to think about what could have gone wrong in our own lives. But learning about other people's close calls is pretty cool.
There's just something nice about sarcasm in a thousand point font. Signs dispense jokes and wisdom when we didn't necessarily ask for them, but that's good because sometimes we didn't realize it was exactly what we needed. There's something so confident yet folksy about jokes that are large and in public.
It's just never a good idea to play around with the people in your company that run the tech side of things. They have a whole lot of knowledge-backed power available at their disposal. In this case, it sounds like our tech wizard's coworker was a good enough sport about the ongoing, sly and petty pranking. He must've been progressively more and more shook before he caught on to what was actually happening. Keep the revenge drama going with this tale about a grandpa who unleashed a pro revenge on some pranksters.
They say there are no stupid questions. Maybe we'd personally have less contempt for people if that was true at all. Here are some weird questions people had for professionals of varying fields. And props to that couple for not covering themselves with bear spray. While these might be weirder than dumb, here are some straight up dumb questions people were asked. For some more professionalism here are sciences judged by lickability.
It's a vividly described TIFU like the one we have here that might hopefully serve to help prevent other folks that fancy themselves "spicy food connoisseurs" from dabbling with the demonically spicy "One Chip Challenge." Seriously, it sounds like these chips are actually out there taking things way too far.
Unfortunately, far too many of us have found ourselves muddling through the harrowing predicament that is the realization that you're living under the same roof as a bit of a far out lunatic. Of course, sometimes the lunacy can be completely harmless, and more uncomfortable than anything else. Take that one person's roommate who would surprise attack them with a unicorn head around the place. Totally harmless fun, right?
The thing about not paying your hard working and highly efficient employees the kind of money that they're deserved is that it has a tendency to backfire. In this case, the employee on hand wasn't too pleased at all about not being given the kind of raise that they felt they deserved. So, it sounds like that resulted in them starting to take a whole lot more PTO. It wouldn't be beyond reason to suggest that there's a strong possibility that they're out there hunting for a new gig. Hopefully, this manager got the kind of wakeup call that they clearly needed.
Unfortunately, the reality is that good intentions don't always result in logically sound actions. Like, for instance, you have someone purchasing their friend a cat. While that's a nice enough gesture, it's also just setting that same friend up for having to deal with a whole lot of extra work. Hopefully none of these moments strike any chords with your own life situation.
There are plenty of people out there that are helplessly mesmerized by hydraulic press videos. There's just something so dang strangely satisfying about them. This compilation will definitely get you going.
Who knows what goes through the mind of a cat as a stadium full of people cheers it on in its most death-defying moments. But hey, it made it. Hang in there baby.
It has also got to feel weird being a professional football player realizing that a stadium of people is more invested in a cat than you, but, like, c'mon, look at the cat.
It's honestly impressive to consider just how profoundly awkward Gordon Keith managed to make this interview. Like, wow, man. If anything it's glaringly evident that these two make a great team and should probably collaborate together on a future project.
Man, just to picture the look on this guy's face if he ever comes to learn that his bullish and completely insensitive behavior was ultimately just him wasting his own money. Like, way to go, man. You went ahead and lost a sweet $300 bucks after thinking that you're some kind of mad genius. Honestly, serves him right.
Of all the pro revenges that we've encountered in our time, this might be one of our all-time favorites. Not only does grandpa masterfully execute an impressive pro revenge, but he might've even have saved some lives in the process. If this revenge tale got you going check out another pro revenge tale where a food-stealing coworker ended up being terminated after eating extremely spicy food.
Listen, most of us don't like our jobs. Most of us try to get away with the absolute minimum. That's how the economy works, probably. But some of us don't exactly just get away with not my job moments. Some of us are blatantly mocking the sacred rule of "don't get noticed" by leaving things worse, dumb, stupid, and ultimately pretty funny. So here's to our collective professional apathy.
We've long since had a deep and unrelenting adoration for the comedy gems that are regularly being churned out from the world of Scottish Twitter. There's just something to unintentionally hilarious about the way that the Scottish slang comes across when expressed on Twitter. These tweets are especially fun to read out loud. Check out some more precious gems from the world of Scottish Twitter over here.
We're definitely no strangers to seeing all kinds of petty nonsense break out over parking debacles. In this case, it sounds like the neighbor who issued the original parking lot complaint was in way over their heads. Basically, you shouldn't go ahead and start up dramas over a bunch of nothing if you're already in the wrong based off what you're doing. It sounds like the bill they ended up being slapped with was something else. If you want to keep the revenge train rolling check out this revenge story about a food-stealing coworker who got terminated after eating extremely spicy food.
It's fine to not get a joke, especially on the internet. All you have to do is say "huh, I don't get it" to yourself and keep scrolling. But if you choose to comment "this is photoshop" on an article from something called "The Stupid Times" that says "Breaking News: Earth Destroyed" you have just solidified yourself among the ranks of mistaken people who missed the joke by miles. So congrats, you oblivious person.
EpiPens are expensive and allergies are no joke. But also, if you know you have a deathly allergy to something and eat unlabeled food from someone's personal stash without their permission, you're not exactly the one inhabiting the moral high ground. For some more allergy-laden tales of absurdity, here's the irrational neighbor who demanded nutless baklava and the mom who lied about her kid's allergies to keep them on a restrictive diet.
Gotta love it when someone is so far up their own ass that they've gone delusional on the fumes and think they can charge people for the privilege of working for them. That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works. For some more delusional interactions with entitled people, here's the Karen who doesn't understand why work costs money or this sketchy business that gets called out and accuses a freelancer of being a shyster.
It's not that hard to not get fired on day one of your job. Even if you are completely ineffectual and incompetent, you can still stick around for years. We have known coworkers who do more harm than good, but since they show up on time, no one seems to mind. Maybe these folks didn't want the job in the first place or just decided they like stealing more than they liked being employed. For some more employment drama, here are some stupid reasons companies fired people.
Resumes are a tricky business. These people absolutely made some questionable decisions when it came to what they decided to put on their resumes. So, whatever you do...don't make these resume moves.
People that steal other people's food are pretty much the worst. When you factor in the element of this particular food thief being the person's coworker? No, no, no. At least they ended up being served a righteous dish of karma with some extremely spicy food that completely messed them up. Keep the revenge drama going with this company that didn't want to pay an employee their worth and then how it ended up costing them millions.
Every time Misfortune Monday rolls around, we have to ask ourselves, "when will it end?" And the conclusion we have to come to every other Monday is, it won't. The world is merciless. But does that mean we all have to just sit there and take it? Sometimes, kind of, yeah. But that's at least a testament to our toughness as people. Or at least our willingness to just take the misfortune as it comes.
We're not gonna complain about people accidentally screwing up their sign so that their dance recital becomes a "dunce rectal." In fact, we'd prefer that it happens more. That and improperly installed toilets. So go one and make sure that design failures fill up our stupid world. Really lean into it. Just don't try at all.
