Customer Demands Refund For Their Own Mistake, Call Center Maliciously Complies


Our hearts go out to anyone who has to muddle through shifts at a call center. It seems like call centers are magnets for the world's most insufferable, painfully entitled individuals. It's as if the people that contact call centers with whatever complaints they have on tap, also manage to completely forget how to carry themselves like decent human beings. Seriously, there's no excuse. Fortunately, this call center was able to play right into the customer's demands in a way that resulted in glorious malicious compliance. If this post got you going, then definitely check out this post about a customer who demanded a plain omelette, and was then furious that it was just plain eggs.

Dude Messes With Scammer Claiming To Be Mark Zuckerberg Himself


The sad reality of scams like this is that they exist because someone out there will believe they're talking to the real Zuck and they'll be thrilled to give a scammer their personal information. But when it's this obvious, there's not much else to do but keep talking to this person and see what kind of foibles you can squeeze out of them .Here are some more scammers who were their own worst enemies.

Dashcam Catches A Road Rage Door Fight In Brazil


Road rage is a scary thing. It's never good to be furious behind the wheel of a vehicle, and it's impossible to have a civilized conversation with someone in a separate car. So when no one can shrug it off, and cars start getting hit, the only true winner is the person with the less expensive vehicle.

Ghost Hunters With Farts Is Absolutely Delightful


Let's face it, ghost hunting shows are a waste of time. If we wanted to watch people wander around an old house and yell things at no one, we'd visit our parents. But lo and behold, with just a touch of effective editing, we can conceivably believe that there really is an invisible, evil force waiting to enter the bodies of the living.

Hilariously Bold Tinder Moments That Make The Game Worth It


Dating is, at best, a bit of a mess. There's expectations, feelings and one-liners flying all over the place, and it can be hard to tell which way is up. That said, meeting a new person can be a hilarious, weird and unique experience that makes all that mess worth it. Or it's not and they're just super weird. But still, it's worth a shot.

The Hot Takes Of Xavier, The Lord Of Snappy Responses


To those who are invested in the memeverse, you may recognize the face of Xavier. That's because the image was synonymous with the invented Twitter personality Pakalu Papito, who also shared hot takes and dished out irreverence. We're just happy there's at least some kind of spiritual successor to Papito's good name. For more, here are some of the hot takes of Xavier.

People's Pettiest Moments Of Sweet Revenge


We live in a society. And that means when someone truly wrongs us, we can't exactly go to their place of work and spray paint "idiot" on their car the way we want to without getting in worse trouble. That's where petty revenge comes into play. Sure it's childish to eat someone's leftover ribs 5 years after they eat yours, but there's a certain compelling feature to cases of extremely petty justice.

Incompetent Manager Forces Unqualified Employee To Fix Machine, Breaks It More


Most of us have nightmares about having to do something and not knowing exactly how to do it, but having a boss shouting at us to make it happen. It happens in real life too, and sometimes it works out. Usually not, but sometimes. The working world drives us to absurd scenes, like this employee who wasn't being paid for being on time or these wild employee complaints that turned out to be legit.

Rare Insults That Decimated People Creatively


Sure, we can live our lives telling the people around us "you look dumb" or "you stink" but that lacks panache. It's when you hear someone say "nice hair, you look like a dropped lollipop" or some crap that makes you go alright, that was one of those rare and spicy insults that hit different. People may not be good at reading, writing, being kind, driving or doing their jobs. But damn they're good at insults. Holy crap.

Neighbor Demands Farmer Not Clear His Driveway At 5 AM, Gets His Wish


By all means, if you don't want the snow off your driveway, go ahead and say so. This little tale reminded other people of times newcomers needed to curb their fantastic expectations about where they found themselves living. Sometimes the ways of rural living need to be explained to people through their own failures, like the time this internet company refused to cancel service to a rural customer.

Entitled People And Their Ridiculous Antics


There's something about seeing an entitled person do their magic that never ceases to amaze. "Does he really think that it's reasonable to leave an all caps one star review of a sandwich place because he got there literally at closing time?" we ask ourselves. And the answer is that not only does he think it's reasonable, he's already left three more reviews of the other locked places he tried to get into afterwards.

Guy's Foot Odor Inadvertently Sends Him To The Hospital


It's important to take care of yourself. And when the lines blur between self acceptance and intolerable stink acceptance, it doesn't help when your odor ends up injuring you. In this guy's case it wasn't just foot neglect, but the neglectful act of not having a proper railing that led him to his figurative and literal downfall. It definitely chalks up there with other stupid ways people accidentally injured themselves.

Blessed Images To Lighten Up The Mood


With our relentless pursuit toward covering all the ridiculous life dramas and fails from the world, it can be dangerously easy to forget that there's also plenty of the good stuff out there. Funnily enough it seems as if so many of the world's blessed images involve animals being absolutely adorable. There's just something about the pure innocence of a dog who doesn't have a bone to pick with anyone, that can lighten an otherwise glum mood. 

American Things That Baffle Non-Americans


America is a huge place. Like terrifyingly, beautifully, bafflingly huge. It's full of all sorts of people who lead all sorts of lives and those lives seem to makes sense to them. But sometimes hearing from someone outside of your immediate social circle makes you realize: "Oh yeah, maybe commuting 90 minutes on the freeway with a 124 oz diet coke in my cupholder is something that people in other places don't exactly get." For some fun tales, here are obnoxious things done by American tourists.

Dumb Criminals Order Pizza, Pizza Guy Gets Roped Into Police Investigation


Pizza delivery drivers see enough weird people even without getting mistakenly involved in crime. These dudes thought they could help cover their tracks by ordering an actual pizza when waiting for their "pizza delivery" but it only served to link this harmless pizza guy to their nefarious activities. The weirdness never ends for pizza delivery drivers.

Funny Tweets That Fell Straight Out Of The Twittersphere


Twitter is like being in a blender full of other peoples ideas. Sure there's a terrific density of thoughts in there, but it's stifling and sometimes it feels like there are spinning blades at you feet. But otherwise, it's a pretty fun place full of people's extremely thought out opinions on things like Cheetos and Star Wars. Here are some more funny tweets to grind boredom into the dirt.

Redditors Shared Slogans If Brands Were Honest


Being people who live in this world, we have a lot of similar experiences dealing with our corporate masters. When it comes to something like a fancy bottled water brand, they know that we know that their super special alkaline water really just comes from a tap in Cleveland. But they never admit it. So here are some people's ideas of what the world would look like if brands just would just be that much more honest.

Guy Absolutely Nails Perfect Bowls Shot


When his partner Greg Harlow mentioned the prospects of this shot at the World Indoor Bowls Championships, the crowd laughed at the unlikelihood of turning it around. What followed was Nick Brett rolling in a perfectly aimed shot that is so satisfying that you want to watch it twice.

Weird Al Has A Moment Of Strict Order Following


Is there any reason to not like Weird Al? Actually there is. If you're tasteless, hate quality humor, and can't stand to look at the face of brilliance, Weird Al might not be for you. But moments like these, in addition to his terrific body of work, are what make us love him.

Karen Has Rude Outburst, Employee Watches Her Ruin Her Car


Working retail and having to appease a Karen is not a fun time, but when you realize she's not even a customer of the place you're working at? That's a recipe for a good time. This employee had a run-in with a Karen they didn't even have to make happy, and proceeded to watch her own comedy of errors unfold.

New Owner Bullies Employees, Runs Company Into Ground, Fails Court Case


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.

Tumblr Gems To Sift Through Like An Old-Timey Prospector


The internet is a big place with all kinds of people who have amazing and dumb ideas, and boy if it isn't rife with stupid, random and brilliant Tumblr gems. People have hard opinions on architecture, werewolves and plastic chairs, and they leave these observations laying around like rats at the dump. It's a good time. There's always Tumblr gems to rifle through like a goblin.

Things People Only Understood When They Got Older


When we're younger, we never think of ourselves as future old people. When you're 19, sleeping two hours a night and being an idiot, it's extremely hard to imagine yourself as someone with back pain and a lawn that these DAMN KIDS WON'T STOP PLAYING ON. It can happen suddenly. Most people can point to the moment they realized they were old. At least as people age they get to pride themselves on knowing things young people wouldn't get.

Natural Science Memes To Become One With Biology


We know just enough about evolutionary biology to ascertain that these memes about cell development and terrestrial vertebrates are probably pretty funny to someone. Thank goodness for those stupid natural world credits we had to take to graduate. Now where are the memes we get to understand for taking that 3 credit course on volcanos? Here are some more vaguely scientific memes for nerds.

Customer Claims She Is Allergic To Milk, Orders Drink With Cream Instead


In a food service setting, it's important to take people's food preferences seriously. It's a thing that gets brought up a lot like this educational tumblr thread about a vegan girl being served a real burger. The thing is, this stance assumes that the person ordering said particular food actually knows what their choice entails. So what exactly do you do when a customer claims an allergy and then contradicts themselves? The story let people explain other times they've been just as confused by people who had a limited understanding of what different food actually is.

Guy Toys With Scammer Who Offers Bouncing Check For Car Wrap


The sad thing is that as obvious a scam as this is, the reason they keep doing it is because someone has fallen for it. There's probably some poor dude out there waiting for that Monster logo to put on their car, still hoping that they didn't just fall for a completely dumb scam. For another guy who got clever with it, here's a scammer who claimed to be a CEO and got trolled.

Babysitter Leaves Town, Entitled Mom Still Expects Babysitter To Show Up


It's a troubling tale like the one that we have here that can effortlessly convince someone to never consider taking up babysitting. You very well could end up having to deal with an aggressive, downright blindly ignorant individual like the mother in this story. I'm just trying to figure out why she continued to bother the babysitter with the pointless calls. Some people have a way of completely disregarding the very undeniable truth when they're repeatedly told it. 

Tumblr Thread: Stupid But Widely Accepted Scientific Terminology


Scientists are people. And being people, they don't take their work as seriously as they maybe should. So naturally, we get things like extremely important primate language studies conducted by people who name their chimp "Nim Chimpsky." Hey, as long as the research is good. Here's a tumblr thread about the use of lucky shrines in the field of science.

A Minivan-load of Dad-Tier Memes and Puns


Why do dads love puns? Because the other jokes they want to say are so disrespectful and abhorrently filthy that if they said them, no one would trust them with children. You make do with what you have. In the end, we have punny dad jokes that go father than ever before. So throw on those jeans, pile the kids into the car, drive to the soccer game and patiently sit through daderrific dad jokes that just nailed it.

Twitter Thread: Wholesome Times People Helped Out Their Countrymen Abroad


It's pretty cool how people are willing to help each other out, even if the only thing they have in common is that they're from a similar part of the earth. Hey, people like building connections. It must be interesting to be in a completely new place and run into someone who just left the place that you came from. A lot of good can come from saying "I also understand that it's weird here, do you want to hang out?" For some more wholesomeness, here are wholesome memes.
