25 Rare Insults That Brutalized People In The Most Specific of Ways

Of all the things that make an insult effective, the most salient quality would probably be blazing accuracy. Anyone can say that they screwed your mom, but not everyone can articulate exactly how you look like a sock puppet that just found out it has a hand inside it.

And, this being the internet, every little thing has a the potential to be critiqued, commented on, revisited, taken out of context, and ridiculed. And that's kind of beautiful. It's terrifying if you ever want to actually put your face anywhere, or express your opinion. But all in all it's pretty likely that you have bad opinions and a worse face.

Here are times random people on the internet decided to be veritable astronauts of criticism and make great leaps into the territory of previously unheard, new, and rare insults. And for more utterly specific insults, here are rare insults that left people uniquely destroyed.

Wild Junk People Overheard After Someone Thought They'd Hung Up

Not sure what it says about us as people, but we all spend an inordinate amount of time and energy making sure other people don't know how we actually feel about them. Does this make us good people or bad people? Because we're trying to keep people from feeling bad, but at the same time, we ourselves are the potential cause of that badness. Maybe the word isn't exactly "good" or "bad" but "polite." We try to be "polite" to each other by keeping our frequently insulting thoughts to ourselves.

Don't let technology be the stopgap between your horrible thoughts about a person, and that person themselves. Because human error is a thing, and we're all bound to screw up sometime. And that's how you end up accidentally calling your grandma a "feckless, dried up old hag with the mind of roadkill" on a zoom call. It's not a great look.

Teacher Tells First Graders to Stick Magnets to Things, Says One Killed Their Phone

This teacher gave their first-grade class a bunch of magnets and told them to run around sticking them to things. Being first graders, they were more than happy to oblige such a request. But, when you invite chaos with young children around, something is bound to get broken. 

Now the teacher claims that their phone broke when one of the first graders stuck a magnet to it, and they want the parents to pay. The thing is… They might have made this whole thing up. If strangers on the internet are to believe that is.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the concerned parent, u/Conscious_Koala_7009, who is wondering if they are in the wrong for refusing to reimburse the teacher for their "damaged" phone. 

This thread is interesting for several reasons. First, it proves an exception to the "take accountability when you damage other people's things" rule of social etiquette, often an important decision-maker on AITA. Because this Teacher invited literal children to do what they did and then proved incapable of protecting their personal belongings from the said thing they told the children to do. 

Second, according to commenters, a magnet can't damage a modern smartphone. Now, I'm of little-to-no help here; I've kept magnets away from my electronics like the plague since the mid-'90s. But, I have done the quick Google search (can magnets damage smartphones?) that the commenters have, and the answer appears to be resoundingly unanimous. No, a magnet can't damage anything on a modern smartphone, except for maybe its compass. 

Third… (Ok, I know several isn't three, but we're tagging an extra one on here anyways.) As commenters have also mentioned… Don't schools have rules about this kind of thing?

Video Rental Worker Exploits Genius Sales Loophole, For Charity

This story takes you way back to the days of the video rental store. Filled to the ceiling with hundreds of VCR tapes, those places always had the musky scent of frequently-handled greasy plastic cases, dust, and old cigarette smoke, embedded in the bright-patterned carpet since the 80s. 

Before mail-in subscription services like Netflix killed them off, they were a haven. What kid didn't love a trip to the video store? It was such a buzz to run around looking at the endless number of fascinating cases of movies you would never watch. When the 2000s rolled around, we used to look at the cases for console video games too. Even though we didn't own any of the consoles, it was just a way to know what was out there and going on.

This thread was posted to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit and was shared by Redditor u/Lifeaccordingtome83 who recounted this tale of their malicious compliance from times past.

25 Technically Correct Memes For Literal People

The world is far too figurative. People always ask us stuff like "how's it going" but they never actually want to know how it's going. And if you give them the truth, "actually things aren't too great, my doctor told me I have a month to live, because he is trying to hunt down and kill me" it just freaks people out. So in our lives, we have to settle for an assumed set of meanings rather than making them ourselves. And that's dumb. 

We'd much rather live in a world of terrifying ambiguity when it comes to social conventions. Someone coming in for a high five? Grab that bad boy and give it a shake. Don't like the soup you ordered? Pour that hot soup into a water balloon and throw it back into the kitchen like a grenade. Now we're really living our best lives. And all it takes is a baked-in misinterpretation of the facts.

Here are some more highly literal moments of technical accuracy.

Mother Steals Daughter's Inheritance, Uses it to Buy a Sweet New House, Gets Called Out

This daughter was confused when her mother and step-father were suddenly able to purchase a new house. They had been barely able to get by previously and now were suddenly living quite well. When questioned about it, her mother revealed that they had used some of the money that the daughter's father, who had tragically passed away, had left for her. This inheritance was left under explicit instruction that it went to his daughter when she turned eighteen. So have these parents effectively stolen from their child?

This thread was posted to r/AITA (Am I the Asshole) by the daughter, u/reddit_randouser, who is wondering if they were in the wrong for calling their mother and stepfather out in front of the stepfather's family. Her parent and stepparent are furious with her and think she's an insubordinate teen who needs to apologize.

 We think it's pretty simple: They're just mad that they got called out.

Commenters have agreed wholeheartedly and have condemned the actions of the mother and stepfather.

Tumblr Thread: The Tale of Mazel The Family Wolfdog

It's the small things that give our lives shape and meaning. And in some cases those small things are actually sort of enormous things. In this case, a pretty huge dog that the pound basically payed them to take home. This tumblr user's parents managed to finagle themselves a big ol' dog that carried with it maybe one or two surprises. But also, it's those surprises that make something great. It's just how it goes. So here's to those decisions that seem like they should really probably be mistakes, but end up living on as pretty good stories.

It goes against better judgement to keep a giant part-wolf as a family pet to keep around your kids, but this time it seems to have worked out.

Smart dogs are really fun to read about. So for more stuff like this, here's the tumblr thread on one dog's terrifically long list of shenanigans.

Ex-Husband Angry His Ex-Wife Doesn't Treat His Lovechild Like Their Son, Everyone Else is Confused

When you cheat on your partner and produce offspring from said affair, don't expect them to accept them with open arms. That being said, it's not the kid's fault that their father is a morally-bankrupt swine, so maybe don't take it out on them either. II would hope that the most emotionally mature among us would manage to get through our mixed feelings and trauma and treat the child with the kindness they need. 

But pay to take them to Disney as if they were your own child? Oh, hell no.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the concerned mother, u/Tro_Mig_Ikke. She posted the topic to the popular sub in order to get the reader's opinions as to whether or not she was in the wrong for refusing to take her ex's child. 

Commenters overwhelmingly sided with her and wondered why he would even consider demanding such a thing. 

"That's not your kid, why would you pay for him to go?!" commented reader throwfaraway212718, "His conception literally led to your divorce! And for your ex to try and use your son to manipulate you like that is disgusting. Screw that noise; take your son to Disney and have a blast. NTA."

"I'm not gonna blame the kid for this," Tro_Mig_Ikke maturely replied, "It was my ex's fault for cheating in the first place, and he didn't ask to be born, thank you for the support though, I do realize that he's manipulating my son."

30 People Share The Pettiest Reason They Stopped Dating Someone

They say that when you start to get romantically involved with someone, you need to figure out their values. Stuff like their religion or politics. And that's definitely important to hash out if you pursue a relationship. But sometimes people overlook the importance of "I don't like how she sounds weird when she sneezes" or "He's super into fly fishing and I just can't wrap my head around it." Whether or not these observations actually should keep people from connecting on a deeper level, in practice, they totally do. It's hard to want to get to know someone when you can't get over the fact that their favorite board game is Monopoly. Like, what's your deal? These shouldn't be the kinds of things that stop people from finding "true love" or whatever. But it does. It does every day. How can you even wake up next to someone when you can't stand the way they pronounce "expresso."

Here are some terrifically petty reasons people stopped dating someone. And here are some petty reasons people were rejected.

Idiot Lieutenant Demands Salutes From Enlisteds, Entire Base Obliges at Once

This Lieutenant was sweating bullets after his command backfired, and he found himself returning the eager salutes of a long line of enlisted personnel in the Florida sun. 

The story was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Stuckatwork271, one of the enlisted personnel who partook in this sweltering exercise of malicious compliance. They posted their story to the popular subreddit to share their brilliant story. 

If there's anything that we have learned from Malicious Compliance, you should always be careful what you wish for. When you're dealing with dejected subordinates, they're like to take the most literal meaning of your command possible if they're able. If there's a second thing we've learned from Malicious Compliance, it's that enlisted personnel especially love to do this. 

Commenters expressed their enjoyment of u/Stuckatwork271's tale. "Excellent MC. I salute you for it!" commented Redditor CoderJoe1, poking fun at the story's punch line. "Watch it buddy. I work for a living ;)" the original poster replied. 

One commenter mentions that this is called "Salute Trapping." Is this a thing? Let us know in the comments!

 

Internet Applauds Boss Who Allowed Their Student Employee to Take Unconfirmed Leave

As we keep learning repeatedly from these r/antiwork posts… A little understanding and flexibility go a long way when managing a team.

This manager exercised that lesson to perfection when they were understanding of their employee's need to take the week off following their semester at school.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by user u/xTylordx. The thread was posted with the title, "Employers, take some notes. This is a good interaction." and features a screenshot of a text exchange between an employee and their manager. 

The manager writes, on the day, to see if the employee is still coming in for scheduled training. The employee responds that it was probably their own error and they are unable to come in due to burnout from their other commitments. This is probably not the best look for the employee but the manager takes it on the chin and offers to move it to the next week, showing that wonderful understanding and flexibility.

Creepy Neighbor Installs Cameras Facing Woman's House, She Reports Him

We've all been in situations where we don't feel like we're being heard. When we voice our concerns on a particular matter, and someone tells us "that's not a thing, why are you acting like this isn't your fault." And those situations suck. Not only that, but you feel like you're taking crazy pills for being the one person who's actually acting in a reasonable way. It's only when we find another reasonable person to talk to about it that we finally get to enjoy some objective reality. Yikes.

This is a little bit like a real life horror movie, right? OPs neighbor has a pretty big problem with looking at her, and the wife is on a whole other planet about the entire concept, to the point that she's insisting it's her fault. Screw this whole situation.

For another shamelessly creepy situation, here's the nice guy who went bananas on an engaged coworker.

Guy Recounts the Tragic Tale of His Hilarious 'Zoom Meeting' Fail

It's always when we go out of our way to seem as cool as possible that the universe decides to make us look the most foolish. Some kind of cosmic karma bolts from the blue to put us right back in our place… 

Well, that's precisely what happened to this gentleman when he tried to act suave on a Zoom meeting. Right at that very moment, his IKEA furniture decided to fail him. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TIFU subreddit by Redditor u/DishsoapOnASponge. For those who haven't been online in the last nine years, the acronym means 'Today I F-ed Up' and originated with the subreddit when it was created in 2012. Since that time, TIFU has become synonymous with the internet and has earned its place in the "Internet Acronym Hall of Fame" along with the likes of WTF and FML. 

This classic subreddit has given us some real timeless posts throughout the years, spawning the likes of the "Coconut C*m" post, "AncestryDNA," and "Pretended Not to Know About Potatoes." We might endeavor to revisit these in the near future.

Sweet Woodwork That's A Real Treet To Look At

For many of us, when we reach a certain age we are allowed to go in one of three directions. These three flavors of personality are known as trains, World War 2, and woodworking. This is a known fact. Sure, it provides you a bunch of personal satisfaction, but it makes you infinitely more difficult to talk to at parties. Any reasonable person can only listen to someone talk about joiners for 30-45 minutes tops before they want to go home. The woodworkers of the world have smooth, impenetrable brains, much like a properly sanded and lacquered chifforobe. 

Anyway, here are some very cool things people managed to do with wood. Personally, we prefer to burn it and then poke at it with other, smaller pieces of wood, but shaping it into miracles of engineering is a close second. Poke poke poke.

For some other terrific feats of craftsmanship, here is fancy brickwork to gawk at and feel unskilled over.

Boss Complains About Long Unpaid Lunches, Complains About OT When Employees Claim the Time Instead

Sometimes your boss just wants a reason to complain and someone to blame… because even the laziest and worst managers have to look like they're doing something to justify their paycheck. Some lazy managers have got this figured out. Instead of working on something productive and trying to steer their team in positive new directions, they turn to the "Ouroboros of Overhauling." A constant shifting of policy and structure that isn't very well thought out achieves nothing but frustration for the subordinates they're affecting. But, hey, it gives them something to write in their report to upper management. 

When this boss demanded that their subordinate shorten their unpaid lunch breaks, they didn't even pause to consider the consequences. Their subordinates had been taking these longer breaks as a favor to the company in order to cut down on unnecessary overtime. This rule change left the workers with but one option… Charge the time instead, which they were happily obliged to do. 

This thread was posted to the r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by the employee, Redditor u/mattchica20, who tells the story of their very clever compliance to their boss's demands.

Petty Things People Did With Zero Regrets

The world is an unfair place where the powerful just accrue more power, and the rest of us are left to abide by a sort of honor code that we're being held to by the very people who are screwing us over. Isn't that an interesting situation to find yourself in. It's enough to drive some of us mad, and it's enough to drive others to take things into their own hands and make things happen for themselves. 

Here are some times people did petty or unsavory stuff and didn't feel a single tinge of regret. Or, it's at least the stuff people are willing to admit to on the internet. Who knows what kind of junk people get up to that no one ever finds out about.

For another tale of defiance, here's the employee who was fired over a technicality, took back their own property, and left their company nonfunctional.

25 Blursed Images That Are Terrifically Intriguing And Rewarding

Life might not always be cool, good, or fun. But at least it's frequently interesting. Blursed images are a nice combination of terrifically nice blessed images and dark cursed images that somehow inspire a sort of levity in the chaos that is life. Who are we to say what is or isn't a good use of time on this planet? Maybe we all need a few more preachers in giant conch shells in our lives. Maybe we can derive meaning from watching a seagull smoke a cigarette. Maybe, just maybe, there's some inherent value to finding a guy who looks exactly like the human version of Shrek from Shrek 2.

There probably isn't, but at least we've got our ticket to ride this oozing funhouse called life on earth.

And if you couldn't get our fix of inherent strangeness from just what fell out of the internet this time, here are some more blursed images from this strange plane of existence.

Manager Demands Workers Pay Missing Money to Balance Till, Internet Bewildered

This manager demanded that the workers present on shift all help to even out the till when it was found to be short $100.

This thread was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/52_pickup_limes, one of the employees in the targeted group. They posted the thread, which contained screenshots of the messages from their boss, to the subreddit with the title "Is the store manager allowed to do this?!"

Commenters overwhelming answered the call of the titular question and confirmed that, no, the manager was not allowed to make that demand. Especially since it's illegal and their accusations against the employees on shift were unsubstantiated. 

When I worked for an omnipotent fast-food coffee chain (no spoilers, but it rhymes with "Marmucks") we had a boss who went on a tirade against staff who were present when $20 went missing one night on cash up. A few days later it was discovered that a $20 had wedged itself above the drop box that you were supposed to drop large bills into. There was a slot, pretty much damn near the size of the actual dropbox slot, that bills loved to find their way into when frantic "martners" were in a mad rush to crank customers through the till. 

The mystery was solved and the day was saved thanks to the Powerpuff Girls, but no apology was ever issued.

Resident Nurse Rallies Their Team, Takes Down Vindictive Nurse Manager

A horrible and cruel Nurse Manager was finally taken down by their subordinates after a "seasoned" Resident Nurse joined the team and managed to rally their young and inexperienced teammates to take a stand. The workplace had an incredibly toxic atmosphere, and the clouds were practically begging for the right moment to burst. All it took was one little push to send the brick and mortar of the establishment tumbling down.

This thread was posted to the r/ProRevenge subreddit by the Resident Nurse (RN), u/IAmHerdingCatz, who recounts their epic tale of revenge from days past. The thread was titled "I'm A Team Builder!" and has earned 5k upvotes on the subreddit since it was first posted. 

Commenters expressed their enjoyment of the tale and complimented the "punchline" of the story for its effect.

Group Locks Dude Out Of His Own Camper For The Night, He Leaves With His Camper

At an early age, most people learn that if it's not your ball, it's in your best interest to play fair. Cause if the kid whose ball it is decides that they don't want to play anymore, you can't either.

This guy's friend's wanted to use his camper to attend a spartan race. Since he didn't exactly want to relinquish the thing itself, he did the next best thing and drove them there. Then night comes and they decided that he can't sleep in there with them and refuse to let him in, resulting in him having to sleep in his truck. This dude figured that such behavior was uncalled for, and he remembered that the good deed of letting his friends use the camper could be revoked at any time. So he hitched that baby up and left. It seems like they forgot that they were sleeping in a borrowed camper.

36 People Who Need To Learn How To Secure Their Loads Properly

If you wanted to feel smart today, look no further than people who could have put in the smallest amount of effort to not endanger innocent bystanders, and didn't. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that just throwing a heavy thing onto the roof of your car and hoping for the best as you barrel down the freeway is something that should be looked down on. I swear to god if I get killed by a couch because some dumbass thought it would be a Chad move just to "hold onto it and it'll be fine" my soul will crawl up from hell, through their toilet, up their ass and burst out of their chest like Alien.

This is like drunk driving except at least people who choose to drink and drive have the miniscule benefit of having had their judgement impaired. These dipshits got up, drank a cup of coffee and said "today I choose to be an unsafe dick." So anyway, feel good that you're not this stupid.

Office HR Manager Tells Adult Content Creator She Needs to Submit All Her Content to Him Before Posting

Somehow someone at this Adult Content Creator's place of work discovered her side-hustle and reported her to HR. Now, u/beachlifejenn has received a letter from her HR manager demanding that she submit all images she intends to share on social media before posting the photos online. 

This thread was posted today to the r/aniwork subreddit, where, due to overlapping hot topics, it has taken off like a virtual rocket ship, earning 500 comments in just a few hours and being upvoted enough to reach the "hot" section of Reddit's front page, r/all.

The thread was posted from the content creator u/beachlifejenn's Reddit account (which we will not be linking directly to for predictable reasons.) The post features a photo of the alleged letter, which contains a redacted message detailing the company's demands for the recipient's continued employment.

"It has come to our attention that you have been engaging in sexual misconduct online." opens the letter before launching into an overly detailed description of the content that the recipient had purportedly been posting. 

It then describes a list of demands, including

Moderators of the subreddit removed the thread just as the thread attracted more and more attention; the moderators did not give specific reasons for the thread's removal but cited subreddit Rule 3a. 

Rule 3a: No spam, no low-effort shitposts.

Unsubstantiated speculation and conspiracies in the comments have suggested that the post was part of a 'viral marketing.' ploy, listing this as a possible cause for the thread's removal. 

Viral marketing has seen a rise in recent years, with attempts meeting great success on platforms like Reddit and TikTok. These successful campaigns have caused users to be suspicious whenever something seems too good to be true or anytime a creator or entity stands to notably gain from the exposure that a viral post would provide.

Commenters expressed how illegal the alleged demands in the letter were, suggesting that the recipient could take legal actions had they not already signed some type of social media policy as part of their employment.

"I've never signed anything like that that I remember." the poster responded to one such comment.

Further clarification was provided by the poster in her comments, adding that this was an office job and that she felt creeped out by the letter she received.

18 People Share The Exact Moment That Made Them Nope Out Of A Relationship

They say "don't waste time dating your ex."  And it can be hard to leave, even if they suck. But sometimes you have an epiphany with someone that makes you go "oh man, there's definitely no coming back from this." It could be something as simple as a moment of hypocrisy or catching them in a lie. But sometime it's along the lines of "he sold my dad's urn to support his Magic: The Gathering addiction" and moments like those make it pretty easy to shove off.

Sometimes people show you exactly who they are, and it's up to you to realize that no amount of apologizing or feigned ignorance on their part is going to stop you from seeing them through regular-colored glasses. People are totally capable of change. But someone who makes you drop them off at their secret boyfriend's house probably isn't going to. Who cares if there's more fish in the sea. Being in a bad relationship is worse than being single.

Here are some unfortunate souls who explained why they stayed with their cheating partner.

Wife Roasted For Telling Husband to Deal With Her Mother's Backhanded Comments

This wife took to the internet to see if she was in the wrong for telling her husband to deal with her mother's comments towards him and "hash things out" with her. The wife notes that her mother "is the one who usually starts" but that her husband "also escalates (sic) and refuses to let it go." Essentially, her mother is bullying her husband while he is vulnerable and trying to maintain peace at family events, and this wife is doing nothing to stand up for him. 

Reddit users on Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A--Hole) subreddit, where this thread was initially posted, were quick to point this out. They unhesitatingly pointed out that the wife and her mother were the problems. The mother for being nasty and picking on her husband and the wife herself for not standing up for him.

Dad Kicks Escort Sister Out After She Glorifies Her Profession to His Teen Daughter, Posts Heartwarming Update

This concerned father felt the need to inform his sister that she was no longer welcome to stay in his home after he overheard her glorifying her job as an escort to his teenage daughter. His sister explained that she just wanted to share her experiences but spare his daughter from the darker side of things but he felt that the stories she told were going to leave his daughter with the wrong impression. The situation is especially delicate since his daughter's aunt is her primary female role model since her mother has tragically passed away. 

The father then returned with a heartwarming update, giving readers insight into how things had progressed since the original post. 

This thread was originally posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A--Hole) with the title 'AITA for not letting my sister stay with us after how she explained her job to my 14 year old daughter?' The thread received a lot of feedback from readers who all suggested that the father, the author of the post, was not in the wrong for kicking his daughter out of the house.

"NTA," wrote Redditor Flaky_Tip, "Your daughter is at a vulnerable age, and your sister was telling her the kinds of things pimps and traffickers say to drag kids into a bad situation."

"I don't think your sister was being malicious but I do think she needs to be more careful about what she says to young girls about her (sic) chosen profession. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, sex work is dangerous."

Others noted how irresponsible the aunt was for framing her work in such a way for a young woman. 

Ultimately, users felt that the sister should be allowed back if she was willing to sit down and lay things out straight for her niece and let her know some of the less-glamourous aspects of sex work. 

That's essentially exactly what ended up happening. The father returned with an updated post to let readers know what the conclusion of the situation was.

Seller Posts Ad For The Most Red Truck, Painted Inside And Out

Okay, fine. They could have painted the windows. But still, it's hard a find a truck painted more red than this 1992 Cheyenne. Ever wanted to see what a truck looks like when you literally paint the whole thing red, inside and out? Don't you want to see what it's like driving around in a red blood cell? It could be fun to pick up chicks in such a spicy looking truck. It looks like it was made for the devil himself. C'mon, don't you wanna drop a few bucks and see how sticky a painted steering wheel feels on your hands? In the summer you could feel like your getting groceries in your own personal mobile version of hell. 

And only 10,000 miles on this bad boy? Sounds like a pretty nice deal.
