The human brain is a lump of dripping goo powered by electricity, so naturally it's bound to make a few mistakes. Double take moments of warped perspective are just enough of a push in the wrong direction where we're more than willing to see impossible landscapes and cats with human faces. It just takes a little bit of weird perspective to cause more than a little bit of confusion.
It wouldn't occur to most of us to get back at our snooping in-laws by making up a story about a curse. Most of us would just say "don't steal my things lady" or change the locks. But that fact that she believed it, and that something bad actually happened is absolutely excellent. Gotta love it when fake curses come through in your favor. For another weird mother-in-law story, here's the craigslist ad seeking a wedding date for a Karen mother-in-law.
These folks noticed a sloth swimming in a Costa Rican stream with heavy boat traffic, so they decided to ask if it wanted a ride. The sloth obliged, and probably moved faster than it's ever moved in its life.
Jeaney Collects finds interesting things and does voices for them. In this case we have a few great reviews for one of the most powerful cubes that you can buy. Just hearing about the potential of such a powerfully dense object is enough to make us feel strong.
They told us when we grew up we'd get to drive cars and spend all our money on whatever we wanted. Now we're here and they were right, but we're driving our cars to work and spending our money on fixing our cars. Sure, we all deal with the everyday responsibilities of life, but man, there's so much laundry. For the aging, here are some millennial memes for the aching backbone of the economy.
We spend so much time complaining about terrible incompetent coworkers and sadistic bosses that it's easy to forget why our jobs can be nice. That's getting to work with like-minded, chill, funny people. This person had exactly that in Joe, a coworker who we all wish we could have the pleasure of working alongside. For another wholesome work tale, here's the story of a wholesome IT bro who revived a totally destroyed laptop.
Man oh man, some of the world's managers really never should've been put in the positions of power that they were in the first place. It sounds like Jeff was possessed by blind greed to such an extent that it was only a matter of time before he ended up engineering his own demise. I wonder how many moments Jeff had where he was up late at night, tossing and turning, soaked in sweat, bogged down by the burn of regret. It's like, he was the one who ultimately ended up complicating his own life. For another entertaining tale of malicious compliance, check out the time that a Karen presenter demanded a crappier hotel, and got it.
It feels amazing to have the hookup on literally anything. Knowing a guy who can get you a mattress for cheap or a gal who has inside knowledge on farm fresh eggs is something many of us take pride in. And of course, everyone needs a tamale guy. For more people who got the hookup, here are the black markets that existed at people's schools.
There are some employees who stick around because they do good work, and there are others whose longevity stems from their ability to blame everyone else for screw ups. This manager tried to get after a certain employee when he should have realized the mistake was his own, and it just proved his own incompetence. People have problems with technology, like this customer who thought electronic payment worked by putting checks into their computer.
Work is a drag. We all wish we had to do less of it, but the more we get done, the more our bosses say "wow you're so good at this, you must want to do more." The one thing that helps is to know that everyone is in a similar boat, and work memes for the hustle as well as the bustle sure drive that point home. People are even ready to commiserate over work email struggles. It never ends.
As many of us know, it's oodles of fun dealing with entitled people and their laughable antics. It could be an unhinged mom who wants you to pay her to take care of her children. It could be a guy who insists on you driving 4 and a half hours to drop off your free barbeque. It could be a Karen secret shopper who's too much of a Karen to do her job. It might just be a dude who wants to pay for swimming lessons with his terrible poetry. Whatever it is, entitled folks are always a barrel of something.
Marriage is a pretty big deal, ideally it lasts forever. And weddings are supposed to be days of love and celebration focused purely on the bride and groom. Well, sometimes the Bride's sister steals the spotlight with all of her various issues. Such is the case here. OP has made it very clear that her wedding will be pet and child free, and surprise that includes her sister's service dog.
Not to mention that the totally legitimate and valid reason that she does not want pets at her wedding is because her fiancé underwent a traumatic childhood experience and still has dog related anxiety, but hey, as long as the bride's sister is happy. Isn't that what they say, 'happy sister of wife, happy life?' For more wedding drama, check this out.
We're not gonna sit here and say that it's a good idea to use a Twister pad to patch the busted out back window of your car. Especially considering a game of twister costs significantly more than a garbage bag, so it's not even a good deal. But by all means, it that's what's convenient, then put your foot down on green, baby. Here are some more funny low budget fixes and engineering solutions.
We are people who want answers. Sometimes the factual answers we crave aren't readily available, and it's a whole lot more satisfying and easy to just get clever about it. Hence, these technically accurate moments that aren't incorrect. Sometimes the best we can be is technically accurate and not wrong. Is that an easy cop-out? Yeah. Does it work? Sometimes, but not really.
Schools are not just places of learning math and science, but also learning that your classmates will pay good money for sour patch kids. Especially when you realize that you can beat the school store in terms of price, convenience and scale. Kids, being people, will put value on just about anything. Whether that commodity is pencils or their own shoelaces back, just about every school had some kind of black market.
The E in EMS stands for Emergency, and it sounds like a non-urgent trip to the hospital for a scheduled appointment might not be an appropriate use of an emergency responder's time. Plus, depending on where you live, taking a non-essential ambulance ride to the hospital would give you a nice little extra thousand dollars on your hospital bill. The real crime here is probably that a trip to the hospital costs so much damn money, but, you know, one thing at a time. The field of medicine sees some wildly dumb interactions, like these absurd medical misconceptions or stupid things medical patients did that made it worse.
Man, why are people always telling us to do stuff? Okay, maybe it's our bosses, and maybe they're telling us to do our jobs, but still. Why can't they be more chill? It's like they're begging for a handful of "not my job" moments of professional apathy to come creeping into the workplace. Not working is a great time, especially while at work. Yeah, it produces a few "not my job" moments, but still.
Sure, he could have said "sorry there's been a misunderstanding" but where's the fun in that? This dude decided to make it a good time and take the interview offer. Luckily, his discrete disguise got him in the doors unrecognized. After that? Not so much. For some more surreal work garbage, here's the employee who was reprimanded for sitting at work with a broken foot and shocked their boss by quitting. And here are some of people's worst job interview fails.
This is an atomic test from 1958. Within 7 seconds of detonation, the spray dome hit 840 feet. It's also a reminder that it would be really great if we could put our collective intellect and energy into creating things or fixing potholes. Too bad the pothole challenge is too large to undertake. Look at the size of that explosion!
Commercials almost always suck. But when a product as supposedly dry and utilitarian as hearing aids are get the "actually funny" treatment, it's a good day. Man does that dad not care.
Isn't it interesting how once money is involved, people become a lot more willing to solve a problem? All these guys had to do was be reasonable, but that was too much for them. The lesson here is that if it's not in someone's best interest to admit their mistake, the next best course of action is to make that mistake their problem. For another fun one, here's the rural customer whose internet company refused to cancel their service and made them prove themselves wrong.
James Fridman is the guy you want on your side when you're trying to look good. Not when you want to actually look good, but when you're trying. Like a genie from an old-timey joke, he'll take your suggestions and spin them on their head in a way that will make you look non-photogenic at best. And that's what makes him great. Here are some more choice photoshop trolls from James Fridman.
We like to think that we're not affected by marketing campaigns proclaiming that "no, this new kind of hot Cheeto is going to put every other hot Cheeto in its grave and bury it. It's so Xtremely cheesy that you're going to blow the back out of your underwear and pants, so don't try this when standing in front of any children or old people." But we'll be damned if we don't see them at the store and go "ya got me." Peer pressure is strong, but human ingenuity can rarely live up to the expectations set by advertisers, so naturally we all half-remember hugely hyped things that came and went.
If spellcheck is making it impossible for you to make a sentence, there's a decent chance it's not spellcheck's fault. It's like this employee who insisted on their spelling of "Hampster." This exact issue is what births many dumb and creative spelling fails, but we're not here to tell people how to spell correctly. We're here to laugh at them. It's hard to tell a higher-level employee when they're wrong, but if they insist on being wrong, go ahead and let them. For another technical solution to a frustrating boss, here's an employee who wrote some code to comply with their boss who said employees can't idle.
Everyone's morning "coffee" ritual is a little different, and for some that means an ungodly amount of syrup slammed into their veins like it was being pushed in by a train. This barista thought they were getting revenge on a bad customer by seriously overdoing things, but as it turns out, that customer could look the grim reaper in the eye voids and say "the sweet embrace of death isn't saccharine enough for my tastes, Mister Jingly Bone Man." For another tale from the café, here's a customer who demanded hotter coffee so the manager went full throttle.
For the record, adult people aren't that smart. And that's when they've had decades to work on being less stupid. But kids have nothing holding them back from being absolutely weird morons. And that's not even including the ones who are utter psychopaths. It doesn't take much proof to realize that kids are almost a different species.
Traveling can be rough, especially when it's for work. In general, it goes a little something like this- you arrive at your destination, check into your hotel, go to work, come back to your hotel. Though, it does not always go like this. Sometimes, just sometimes, you return to your hotel after a long day of working to find all your stuff packed into a garbage bag and people that are very much NOT YOU in YOUR room. Such is this case here for this unlucky soul, all we can say is: well, that sucks.
Sometimes the best way to feel better about your own sloppy days at work, where you couldn't seem to perform your job up to the standard that was expected from you is to go ahead and read about other people's own tragic professional blunders. Just because there's a paycheck on the other side of all of that work, doesn't mean that it prevents people from failing at their jobs in a wild blaze of anything but glory, every now and again.
Speaking as human beings, we can attest that people are capable of an amazing level of stupidity. Sometimes when we witness a moment of absolute dumbness we just have to sit back, relax, sigh, and keep on keeping on. Whether it'sworkplace idiocy or parenting fails, humans have a way of impressing us with their optimal stupidity. Every. Single. Time. Enjoy this hilarious compilation of memes that highlight every aspect of dumbness, we've got a long way to go as a species, folks.
Sandwich shop workers are on the frontlines of having to field some truly far fetched sandwich requests. If you've ever given yourself over to imagining the grossest possible sandwich combinations that you can imagine, just rest assured that there's definitely someone out there who is eating that very sandwich. Some people just have remarkably strange tastes.
