Absurd Couple Gets Offended When Their Friends Order Food to Take Home at a Restaurant

Surely there must be something missing from this story. What an absolutely absurd reaction. 

When u/tatatertotter ordered food to take home to their children, as they had done hundreds of times before, their friend's took major offense and later told a mutual friend that they thought u/tatatertotter's actions were trashy. 

I can't imagine this possibly being an issue unless it held up proceedings of the evening for everyone else.

Dingbat Boyfriend Insists on Eating Peanuts Despite His Girlfriend's Serious Allergy, Won't Listen to Her

This idiot is an absolute nutcase. Imagine valuing a nut over your partner's life. 

This guy is being completely disrespectful and unreasonable. Especially since her request extends, at this point, only to her own space. It is a massive red flag that he can't respect her space and medical requirements this early on in the relationship. Time to send him and his peanuts packing.

I wonder if he's the same guy as the guy who sent his Tinder date to the emergency room after accidentally triggering her peanut allergy.

Is this their relationship evolving after-all? Have they found true love? 

Dude Organizes Beef Wellington Dinner, Guests Demand It Be Cooked Well Done

If Gordon Ramsay found out about this, there would be no one from this story left alive. It's one thing to have some dietary restriction that excludes you from eating what everyone else eats, but to have the audacity to ruin the whole meal that someone put effort into bringing together? That's just not the way things are done. If she really wants to come, she can have hers microwaved. For some more food drama, here's the vegan employee who requested a coworker eat their burger outside.

Signs The Robot Vacuums Aren't Taking Over Soon

If anyone was worried that the rise of smart vacuums would mean that in 20 short years an uber-sentient race of machines would return the favor by making you suck up dust with your mouth for a living... maybe add an extra 20 years to your countdown. For the time being we can rub in our human superiority by making roombas get beers for us.

Insane Karen Coworker Harasses Woman Who’s Son Has Just Died, Gets Fired Just Before Christmas

The Karen of this story (Liz) sounds like an absolutely perfect example of a Karen. She comes across, in this story, as being extremely self-centered and entitled. I honestly can't imagine how she managed to get along issue-free in this workplace for so long. By the ease at which she was fired... It sounds like there must have been some previous history there. 

Adios Karen! Merry Christmas!

Coffee Memes For People Who Barely Know What Day It Is

We don't like the idea of being "don't talk to me before I've had my coffee" people. Office-style coffee humor usually sucks. It's also depressing to admit that we need stimulants to have even a semblance of well-being on any given morning. So rather than a wink and a nod and a 20 dollar mug that has an inverse graph of happiness vs coffee drank or whatever, we'd just like to say: "this is not normal, we're sorry, and please don't talk to me until I've had my coffee." Now here are some work memes.

Insane Woman Dates Sister’s Cheating Ex-Husband, Wants to Bring Him On Their Family Vacation, Doesn't See the Issue

Honestly, how does she think that this is ok behavior? By the way she has written her posts it is very clear that she sees nothing wrong with her actions and for some reason just can't possibly fathom why her family has excluded her from Thanksgiving and is slowly cutting her out of their lives. 

The OP, u/Psychological Bid58, has made multiple posts regarding her relationship with her sister's ex-husband (and the father of her children). This guy cheated on her sister when she was at home with their new baby and for some reason, he seems to be prime dating material. The first post is the most recent AITA post about their family vacation. The second is a recovered deleted AITA post. The third a r/relationship advice post she posted about her relationship with this guy.

Things from People's Childhoods They Later Realized Were Weird

Everybody's family is a little weird in some way, but as a kid, you don't know any better. This leads to most of us having an awkward moment later on with friends, a scene along the lines of "hold on, not everyone's family has one day of the month where their dad eats as many cans of tuna as possible and then comes over and breathes on everyone?" or "wait a second, my mom always told me the blue parking spaces up front were for people in the very busy mom club?" Life is full of discovery. At least it's a little better than people later realizing something was illegal.

Tattoos That Transformed Scars And Birthmarks Into Works Of Art

People get self conscious about surgery scars and birthmarks. That's just a reality of being human. But another reality of being human is that people really like clever tattoos, which have the potential to turn every scar, blemish and mark into an opportunity for a wonderful moment of artistry. Here are some more tattoos that turned scars into works of art.

Teacher Flips The Script on Frustrating Administration

It's not every day that you get to use your boss's rules against them. There's something so wonderfully satisfying about when an unfair employer has to face their own music. Not every organization gets to feel the sting of their own unfairness. This job applicant got to call out a company's dumb interview process.

People's "Oh, That's How That Works" Moments

Every one of us will have a time in our life when we realize something too late. It may have been super obvious all along, or it may have taken some thinking. Either way, that satisfying  "aha!" moment feels the same. For dumber realizations, here are really obvious things people realized way too late.

Lingering Customer Can't Use Facilities After Close, Throws Tantrum

Closing time can be a dodgy period for employees. This lady brought her tea from home so it's unclear if she was even a real customer, but expecting to just stay as long as you want when all the employees should be off work anyway? What a way to live your life. Too many customers don't seem to get that closed means closed, like this entitled customer who expects a place to stay open late but can't handle rejection.

Absurd Times People and Things Were Singled Out

We live in an unfair world, but one of the great levelers is the belief that at some point in time, everyone is going to have a bad day. It's a lot harder to believe that when people and things get singled out so unfairlythat reality becomes absurd. It seems like sometimes people and things get singled outto the point that it seems comically impossible for them to catch a break.

Employees Get Bamboozled by Chicken Lady

It's no question that employees are wary of customers. Most customers are fine, but the few who love to put retail workers in precarious positions are the kind of folks who will never be forgotten. For one that ended with more justice, here's a lying Karen that got decimated by the owner's response.

People Dating Themselves Without Stating Their Actual Age

Things change so fast these days that we're able to figure out someone's age based on the technology with which they used to watch movies. It's weird to think that some of us grew up without the awesome power of VHS, whether that's because it was obsolete or because it was so advanced that no one could even conceive of it at the time. Here are more people who explained how old they are in-nonnumerical terms and some 90s toys to get absolutely ripped on nostalgia.

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.

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.

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.
