Insane Parents Tell Guy He Can’t Get Married on His Cheating-Loser Brother’s “Divorce Anniversary”

I might have more sympathy here if the brother had suffered extreme loss or if his wife had cheated on him on this day. But, alas, he was the cheating a-hole that caused his divorce. Obviously, he has never had to suffer any sort of consequences for his actions because his coddling parents have kept him from having to take the blame for anything. 

This guy is probably better off without any of them around. 

For more fun entitled brothers check out this wife's brother who had to be put into his place by her husband because the parents refused to do anything about his behavior.

Parent Forces Vegan Daughter To Cook Meat

The collective opinion in the comments section for this particular AITA seems to be that this parent was not in the wrong. They simply insisted on teaching their daughter a lesson about not wasting food, and also not forcing your beliefs on others. 

Error Grants Person Free Netflix for Years

What do you do when a company makes a mistake and then undermines all of your best efforts to undo that mistake? Apparently you give up and say "fine, I'm watching movies if no one is gonna complain about this." And that movie watching went on for the better part of a decade, so not bad. For some more company shenanigans, here's a dude who got hounded for trivial debt and ended up paying them a dime.

The Things Restaurant Employees Have Seen Done To A Customer's Order

In most places it's a crime to spit in someone's food, and food industry people will admit that it's more rare than you'd think. What's more common is people doing EXACTLY what the customer asks for, like making the food too spicy, overcooking it or giving them about 500% too much mayo. It shouldn't be a surprise that it's a pretty dumb idea to be a ding dong to the person cutting your slice of cake. You never know if the employee you're talking to is someone who just doesn't give a heck.

Tumblr Thread: A Wife's Diabolical Seam Revenge

We're no strangers to the pettiest revenges of the most petty people, but this is so specific and weird that it's just kind of awesome. If anyone thought that sewing didn't have the potential to be a merchant of chaos, then they didn't know things like how Tumblr's yarn community has serious drama.

Unhinged Management Tries to Tell Pregnant Worker That She Must “Wait For Relief” Before Going Into Labour

I feel like this could be a quote from Bane in 'The Dark Knight Rises' or something. It has the same energy as his "Then you have my permission to die." speech. 

The idea that you need to wait for relief in order to have a medical event is as hilarious as it is dystopian and horrifying. Imagine getting fired for having a heart attack and leaving work "without consent". Which, according to some of the comments, isn't far from the reality of what happens in some jobs. 

For more like this check out this middle manager who tried to avoid filling vacant positions in order to get a bonus.

Irreverent, Sloppy, And Downright Shameless Tinder Moments

Tinder has well established itself at this point as being a realm of absolutely absurd pickup lines, and rare, very rare actual connections between hopeless romantics looking for love on an app that otherwise is a magnet for tomfoolery. If anything, you might end up walking away from this list with every intention to start working some of these pickup lines into your rotation of conversation starters. 

Female Firefighter In Training Called Out For Hairstyle Requirements, Complies Maliciously By Cutting All Her Hair Off

Firefighter school being a paramilitary entity can be quite rigid when it comes to rules, especially dress code. These institutions tend to have very different requirements for men and women depending on what they consider to be appropriately professional. When OP was in the fire academy, the women's dress code required that hair be worn in a neat bun. We have a feeling that the person who came up with this rule was not a woman. For if they were a woman, they would know that anything shorter than shoulder length hair makes for a super awkward, super messy, and super unprofessional bun.

So OP took matters into her own annoyed hands after being consistently written up for not complying with the dress code. She went the pixie cut route, big power move, and her superiors still tried to write her up but were not able to because technically she was complying with the dress code. The kicker of this whole situation? The following semester there was a man with long hair who wore it in a bun instead of cutting it, and the following semester the dress code was rewritten to be gender neutral. Hmm. Well, seems a little messed up but OKAY.

28 Decent Reasons Not To Have Children

There's too much proof out there that kids are stupid and weird. Sure, they have a few legitimate reasons for their uncontrollable dumbness, like the fact that their brains aren't done developing. But that's not enough. These things will walk around like they own the place, getting their heads stuck in fences and spilling syrup everywhere. Kids are just weird and stupid people.

Tumblr Thread: Being a Purveyor of Fine Clown Meats

In most cases, someone offering to tell you about a dream they had is the most boring and stupid waste of 5 minutes you can engage in. But when it's from the twisted mind of a tumblr user, and it's about operating an all-clown meat deli, it's really hard not to pay attention. It's got action, crime, drama, science and most importantly a whole lotta clown meat. Here are some more funny, random and shiny tumblr gems.

Twitter Thread: People's Work Horror Stories

Some jobs are more unforgettably terrible than others. You can start up with a new gig that showed all appearances of being nothing short of your dream situation, only to learn that it's actually a waking nightmare, and that the boss is a completely maniacal lunatic. Or, maybe you'll end up dealing with a coworker who has impossibly obnoxious boundary issues. That's why it's key to keep a wary eye out for the red flags before you ever take on a new job. With all that being covered, let's take a look at what people had to say when it came time to share their most notable work horror stories on an emotional rollercoaster of a Twitter thread. 

Bridezilla Uninvites Grieving Friend From Her Wedding Because of “Cultural”Requirements

It's no wonder this bride doesn't have many friends with the way that she treats them. She clearly isn't willing to accept differences from other people and comes across as being extremely shallow. It's pretty hardcore of her to just straight-up uninvite her work "friend" and not even consider just removing her from the bridal party (which would also have been fairly savage). 

She's still not as much of a crazy bride as the bride who didn't want her fiance to invite his grandma to their wedding because she wasn't cool enough.

Hilariously Dumb and Bad Life Pro Tips to Avoid

Not all advice is created equal, especially in the case of these dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. Whether it's extremely unethical, wildly dangerous or physically impossible, not doing most of these is a great idea. It's good to keep your ears open for tips, but dubious pro tips of questionable origin aren't exactly gonna do you many favors.

Botanists Describe Scariest Plants In The World

Not all plants are adorable and make you feel warm and bubbly inside. Some plants are actually formidable beasts that have all kinds of dangerous sorcery boiling beneath the surface of their otherwise calm exterior. If this AskReddit thread of botanists describing some of the world's creepiest plants got you going, check out some famished trees that engulfed stuff over here. 

Adult Sibling Refuses to Put Up With Her Spoiled Brother and Entitled Parents

You gotta love it when the kid is more mature than the adults in the situation. It's kinda sad in a way because you have to imagine that it came about out of necessity. With the kid needing to fill the void of maturity in order to maintain some semblance of structure and function within the familial unit. 

Seems like the skills she has learned as a teen has done her well in adulthood. It's hard not to applaud the way that she has set and communicated effective boundaries with her entitled family.  

She must have gone to the same school of thought as this girl who set her parents in their place about her line of work in childcare when she told them how much she was making.

People Trying Their Best To Sell Their Mirrors

How does one sell a mirror without getting themselves in the shot? It's pretty difficult. And even the most nonchalant attempts still have a weird disembodied hand snapping a photo with a phone. At least they're just selling mirrors, which pale in comparison to the other weird and stupid junk people try to sell online all the time.

Bricklayer Maintains Self-Esteem In Spite Of Terrible Boss

Jerry sounds like a real gem of a human being. There's something plain old admirable about anyone who can maintain their self-esteem in spite of difficult, if not outright miserable external circumstances. Jerry was unfazed by all the BS regularly being thrown his way. And eventually he got the karmic reward he so deserved. Love how even when he ended up succeeding while his old boss failed, he still didn't take the opportunity to dance in glee around their messy debacle. 

Dude Goes For 27 Meter Belly Flop Off Of Crane

It looks like this dude was able to swim after this monster of a death dive, so we'll chalk it up as a win. That said "climb to the top of a crane and just fall off into frigid water" isn't exactly on many of our to-do lists.

Guy Inspires Driver To Turn With Effective High Velocity Leg Push

Of all the dash cam footage that comes out of eastern Europe, this is probably on the goofier side of things. Here we have someone refusing to make a left turn and blocking just about everyone, so our friend here provides some percussive assistance to the back of the vehicle. Driving can be so passive aggressive, it's interesting to see some some try regular aggression.

Woman Gets Revenge On Credit Card Company With A 'Fax Bomb' When They Refuse to Process Her Name Change

This woman got completely fed up with her useless credit card company when they refused to process her name change and kept acting like they hadn't received the necessary documentation. It is so frustrating when you have to deal with something like this that it is easy to understand why she took the steps to make sure they couldn't ignore her any longer

Design Fails That Might Need Some Help

You think you've seen every carpeted bathroom, and then another one shags its way right into your life. We can't free ourselves from all of the pee-colored water bottles and multi-tiered toilets of this world, but at least we can look at them and acknowledge that they could use some work. It's something we're gonna have to do, cause there are moredesign fails and dumb ads every day.

Mother Tricks Son Into Meeting With Cheating Ex-Fiancee, Unhinged Family Blames Him For Breakup

This poor guy just cannot catch a break. It sounds like the entire world is against him. That being said, he really should have come clean about the reason why he and his ex broke up long before the narrative got away from him. Clearly, at this point, they aren't going to believe a word that he says. 

Honestly, they sound toxic so maybe things going this way is a blessing in disguise. Time to cut ties and take to the road. Rebuild. Start over.

Yeah, otherwise this guy needs to come clean. Even more so than the guy who faked a British accent for 12 years.

Pet Hamster Dumped On Big Bro After Younger Bro Loses Interest, Big Bro Rehomes Pet, Family Gets Pissed

When are parents going to stop gifting pets to their indifferent small children? Repeat after us- PETS ARE LIVING BREATHING BEINGS and should not be gifted to children who do not have the attention span to take care of them! This situation is especially frustrating. Not only was younger bro's pet hamster not being given the care and attention he deserved, when big bro tried to rehome him the fam got pissed! What the heck??

We have got to say if anyone in this situation is to be considered an a-hole it would be OP's parents who essentially dumped a pet on OP that he did not want, was against his brother getting, and frankly just deserves better. We're talking a lot about family drama lately, and not enough about the value and importance of being good to the animals we share this planet with.

Low Baller Wastes Seller's Time, Seller Starts Charging Jerk Tax

Negotiation is a weird and terrible art. Everyone makes all these assumptions about what they should expect from a deal, but when someone makes it clear they're not willing to negotiate reasonably, or one party takes things personally, the gloves come off and things get wacky. For a wildly entitled one, here's a low baller who wanted a guitar built but didn't understand why that should cost money.

Step-Mother Forces Teenage Step-Daughter to Babysit Four Kids, Mom Calls Her Out

This daughter is incredibly lucky that she has an adult in this situation who is willing to go to bat for her. Even better that it's her own mother. There's nothing worse as a teen than when the adults are running their own narrative and completely ignoring your own needs. Any argument you make gets dismissed as teenage angst and you're just told you'll understand when you're older. 

This is similar to the girl who told her stepmother that her step-siblings weren't her problem.

Entitled People With Their Particular, Absurd And Unreasonable Demands

When an entitled person has fully convinced themselves that they deserve a thing, there's no sense reasoning with them. It could be an "influencer" who wants free shoes, a family member who thinks they should get your car, or a boss who thinks that sick days are for quitters. And since it doesn't benefit them to think reasonably about these things, they just don't. For some work themed entitlement, here are some people's job-search nightmares and unreasonable bosses.

Particular Things America Has That Europe Doesn't

Is 24-hour access to root beer worth having to pay out the ass for an ambulance? Debatable. On the one hand, hesitating to call an ambulance could result in the loss of someone's life. But on the other hand, root beer is pretty good dude. It's strange how some things just do or don't catch on in one place or another, and which things people wish they had, like these peculiar things non-Americans like about America.

Twitter Thread: Revealing A Forgotten Parisian Subway Station

Tim Mc Erney took to Twitter to explain the intriguing remains of an old Paris metro station, relatively untouched by time. It looks like whoever was in charge of the remodel did a sort of bath fitters-style overlay job rather than take anything down, so what we're left with is the fine corporate spam of the 60s. Maybe in 60 years people will be excited to see a bus stop covered in ads for Peletons and coding night school.

People Share Things That Get Overly Romanticized In Media

It's important to remember that sometimes movies aren't real life. A guy getting rejected at a bar and then showing up at a woman's house with a boombox at 3 am is just gonna result in the cops being called. Living on ramen isn't scrappy or fun, and being in the mob isn't a good career move for almost anyone. Here are some things that people might take more seriously if it actually happened to them. Here are someunrealistic movie details that won't stop being annoying.

Exasperated Girlfriend Calls Out Immature Boyfriend When Her Interrupts Her During An Interview

What a baby. This guy, at the very least, needs a little more situational awareness. I'm hesitant to say anything that he is doing her is intentional or malicious as some commenters seem to think. I think he's just an immature idiot who can't read the room. This is made even worse by the fact that he's 30 something years old and also the fact that he is acting like this while staying over at her place. 

He might be an idiot but at least he's not as big of an idiot as the guy who destroyed his girlfriend's heirloom jewelry.
