Animals who were absolutely way too chonky and thicc


We all have that one friend who has a 15 year old cat named like Snowball, and this cat is MASSIVE. Like way too large, the vet probably should have put it on a diet. Until recently, you'd just have to admire that cat from afar and tell people how insanely beefy this random cat is. But these days, on r/AbsoluteUnits, people post the biggest of any random object, and sometimes, animals are included on the list. Hence, here is a list of a handful of these animals who are super large - way too big in fact! - just absolute units of fur. Some of them are hindered by their size, like a sheep who grew it's fur until it could barely walk. But others, like this longhorn with extra extra long horns, definitely benefit from their large stature. Keep scrolling to see these otherworldly chonks below!

'Don't make me assume my ultimate form': Unhinged Karen breaks drive-thru window and fights worker because she can't get Chicken McNuggets

'The manager [...] didn't want [him] to even finish the shift': Misogynist coworker insists he doesn't listen to women, ends up unemployed also


It shouldn't be all that hard to behave like a reasonable and rational human individual — right? Like it's not that difficult to get up in the morning and put on your business persona and treat other people with the slightest amount of respect. Sure, there might be a deep fire of eternal rage burning somewhere deep inside you for the sheer disappointment that adult life holds — the field of your future littered with broken promises and unrealized dreams — but that doesn't mean that it's ok to take out your rage on the other people you come into contact with, who are all just trying to survive the same demoralizing existence as you. 

So, why, then, do some people think it's ok to go into a place of work (or anywhere, really) and start spouting off blatantly abysmal beliefs and opinions? How do these people even still have jobs?

Well, this idiot coworker doesn't anymore after he saw fit to flaunt his weird conclusions about the world. Keep reading for the story. For more, check out these lazy coworkers who tried to scapegoat their other coworker who was already doing everything. 

'If I can't get you to change your behavior, I am going to shame you in public': Horrible Karen's dog relieves itself inside a store, Gen-Z comes to the rescue


The entitled Karen customer tried to flee the scene of the crime and refused to help clean up, but the Gen-Z kid standing by was not about to let that injustice fly and she went running after her.

'I can't stress enough what a terrible idea this is': Overconfident dude insists he can make huge wedding meal, ignores commenters begging him not to


One avid chef got more than he bargained for when he asked a seemingly simple question to the r/BBQ subreddit. The user, named LogicofUnknown, explained that he wanted to cook a huge and delicious meal for his upcoming wedding event, but needed advice on how to pull it off. Mentioning that his wedding is "next Saturday," the OP hadn't gotten any food catering planned for the event. He explained that sans Thanksgiving this year, this event was going to be a big family meeting time. He listed out the meats and sides he wants to cook himself - smoked turkey, double glazed ham, collard greens…it seems mouth-watering!

Here's the problem - no matter how big OP's kitchen is, he's going to have a hard time organizing and preparing enough food for an entire wedding…basically by himself…on the day before and day of the wedding. Ummm, that's no easy feat. A professional chef chimed in to give the OP their very candid opinion and how he could potentially still pull off the mega-meal. But when it comes to food safety precautions, this OP seemingly doesn't believe it or doesn't want to hear it. Oh, and where will his bride be during all this? Find out below. Read all the drama that went down, where the OP explains the situation and then gets downvoted when commenters don't care for his plan.

29 Stupendous Starter Packs to Start Your Sorry Day With


Some people have just got way too much time on their hands, and thank the gods for that. Sifting through all these Starterpacks has restored our general faith in humanity's ability to be innovative, creative, and consistent. Seriously… respect. Some people just pull 'em off in a way that does the subject justice. If you've been scouring the internet (more specifically Reddit) for a while now, you'll know of the subreddit that exists for the sole purpose of creating Startpacks. There were a few that were so wild that we were slightly surprised weren't reported, but hey – free speech, right? 

 

There's a little something here for everyone. Quick spoiler – if you're a Midwestern dude or babe, you're gonna find quite a few you'll relate to. Heck, if you're over the age of 30 you'll most likely relate to most of them. There were a few that made us feel personally attacked. Scroll down to judge people's impeccable skills, or just sift through for a good relatable laugh. If you wanna check out some pics that prove that expectation doesn't always necessarily line up with reality, click here.

'What am I supposed to do with all these pies?': Horrible manager gives unclear baking instructions, now everyone takes home free pies


Sometimes, malicious compliance can have delicious results! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Ok-Fishing-6604, represents another story in which a horrible boss flipped out as a result of her own poor leadership.

 

A few Thanksgivings ago, the Redditor was a college student working at a grocery store. She stayed behind and worked late one night at her manager's request to handle all the upcoming pie orders. The problem was that when the original poster asked her manager exactly how many to bake, the boss rolled her eyes and made some obnoxious comment about how the Redditor should just keep baking until she showed up. And if that's not a recipe for malicious compliance, I don't know what is! At the end of the day, 400 pies were baked (there were only 100 orders as it turns out), and the Redditor couldn't get in any real trouble because, well, she was just doing what she had been told to do. The bonus was that all her coworkers got to take home extra pies for the holidays. Like I said, sometimes malicious compliance can have delicious results

'Too late, I already cheated': 20+ Top Tinder moments and fails from the wild world of online dating


It's a harsh and wild world out there… When you brave out into the wilderness that is the online dating lifestyle — you never know what you're going to find. There are so many people out there that haven't the slightest idea what they actually want or who they themselves even are that it's hard to imagine them ever finding a successful match. It's often said that in order to find someone, you need to focus and work on yourself first. All too many people see this as validation of their own narcissism when the point was actually self-discovery.

'Expect them to turn up uninvited': Entitled nightmare couple tries to take control of couple's bachelor party, get big surprise instead


One entitled couple got a rude awakening as they tried to help plan a hen and stag party. As the OP details in this fascinating story from r/weddingshaming, there's one couple in his friend group who are a bit pushy and just show up at every single friend event…even when their presence is not wanted. 

When some of the group's friends began planning their upcoming nuptials, the nightmare couple continue to show up to the events. But then they finally take things a step too far when they demanded the perfect hen and stag party (bachelor and bachelorette party) for themselves, not caring what the bride and groom might think. If their strict demands weren't met, they wouldn't show up to the wedding. But then things took a turn…read the full story below!

'Y'all the first people in the world to see': Viral trend shows uniquely weird objects to the whole internet


In the age of the internet, sometimes it can feel like you've already seen it all. Trends repeat, every few years the same fashion trends will reignite, and of course you can access almost any movie or show. 

So what is new on the internet? Well, some extra creative people have been making videos showing just that. The trend is simple: take a few random objects - as off the wall as possible - and combine them to show your viewers something brand new. The trend often involves weird food being poured on a toy, or strange combinations that would taste awful. Other users took old toys and gave them a new use just for their viewers to see. Creators seem to love this trend, while viewers are divided on the absurdity of it all. But truly…we are seeing something new!

'She said she is pretty sure that I’m not the father': Pregnant mom abandons husband and kids, her parents still try to defend her


This guy's in-laws need to face reality. Their daughter not only is pregnant with an affair baby, but she also admitted to her husband that their 13-year-old daughter is likely not his kid. Now, she's moved in with her new boyfriend and has completely cut off communication with the rest of her family.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and it just goes to show to how blind some parents can be to their grown kids' behavior. This mother-in-law still managed to spin the story in such a way that she blamed the Redditor for not doing enough to save his family. Seriously? This all happened at their grandchildren's birthday party by the way, and it's not like the Redditor's wife doesn't know her own kids' birthday. She actively chose not to attend. There's no way to spin this. She's the AH here. Period!

'My seat was playing host to Karen's bag': Karen tries to take up two seats on the train, passenger gets petty revenge


There's nothing more satisfying in this world than getting petty revenge on a Karen. This one really deserved it. On a fully packed Amtrak train with assigned seating, she refused to move her bag from the Redditor's seat until an attendant made her move it. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/Zulera301, who later got revenge by playing the Sims on their laptop in the middle of the night and keeping our dear Karen awake. Here's the thing. No one wants to sit next to a stranger during public transit, but sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Every time I swallow my pride and get on another Megabus, I pray that no one sits next to me. And I pray even harder that if I do have to share a seat, it isn't with a gum chewer or a crying kid or crying gum-chewing kid. But I understand that when it's completely full, I have no choice in the matter.

'You are charging way too much': 20+ Choosing beggars whose entitled ends know no bounds


There are persons in this world who want far more than they would ever have to give — and they still want more than that. These entitled "choosing beggars" want everything for nothing and won't settle for anything less. They can be encountered in the marketplace of the face-books and lurking in the corners of Craig's list. It's highly likely — especially if you're an artist or freelance worker — they'll barge their way into your DMs and demand a free commissioned piece.

Guy makes calculated purchase for wife's expensive smart watch, buys her a color she doesn't wear


There's something to be said for trying — but the last thing you want to do with a half-baked gesture is expose how little you listen to (or care) about your partner's wants and wishes. It doesn't take that much time or great observational skills to take note of the things that your partner enjoys; one might hope that, through general time spent together, it's something you'd just naturally and innately come to know. 

I say this despite myself having the observational skills of a deaf bat and the propensity to make a color "work" for a deal. Yet, even I know that my girlfriend loves the color green (everything we own is the same damn shade of it) and wouldn't be caught dead wearing silver-toned jewelry.

Well, this guy missed the memo when he elected to go for the deal and nab his wife a silver Apple Watch; his wife's distaste for a silver tone would soon cause a rift between the couple when she accused him of deliberately ordering a color she wouldn't like. Now, I'll default to Hanlon's Razor here and say that the wife's accusation isn't necessarily fair, for you should "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity," — granted, there's a fair amount of stupidity going on here; it's also definitely not the first time something like this has happened.

It's fair to say that saving money and being frugal is important when considering the family's finances — but talking about replacing an Apple Watch that's "a few years old" solely because of the battery life makes me think finances are of little concern here…

This guy needs to get to the heart of the issue and sort out why his wife is feeling this way, because it's certainly not an isolated incident. 

'Have you tried wearing a shirt and a tie?': Random unhinged stranger accosts job-seeker in blistering rant, internet divided


Receiving unsolicited advice from random strangers always leads to an unsavory interaction…

This user posted to Reddit to explain their most recent run-in with an aggressive stranger who had some unwanted advice for the OP. While the OP was searching for a new job and weathering the stress of interviewing, they decided to grab a meal with a friend. But suddenly, a random stranger walked up to the group and said, "Have you tried wearing a shirt and tie?"

From there, the conversation got explosive. OP was not happy to hear this during such a stressful time in their life, and completely flipped out. After posting about it to Reddit, commenters chimed in with their own opinions about how people should dress for job interviews. Is it ok to dress how the workplace dresses, even if it's casual? Or should people always wear suits or dresses to interviews, even if that tradition is kind of old? Commenters were completely divided - and not just by age, as some older people sided with the OP. Keep reading about this dramatic encounter below.

20 Camping fails for people who accidentally set their s'mores on fire


Camping can be incredibly relaxing - it's a great way to reconnect with nature. Getting out into the great outdoors sounds good on paper. But once you arrive at the campground, you have to assemble the tent (where's that missing last piece that is somehow crucial to the tent staying upright?) Then, you might see a big bug (or fifty). And the local wildlife will make themselves known -  you're in their house, after all. 

Camping can be so much fun when you relax and unwind, as long as you don't end up like these people, who kind of failed at camping in some way.

Update: Entitled Children Threaten to Kick Neighbors Out of Their Apartment


Ah, the entitlement never ends! This Redditor has an endlessly entertaining series they dubbed "Tales from the Compound," which details their experiences growing up among a community of entitled neighbors in a shared compound in Dubai.

 

This thread, which serves as the latest update in the "Tales from the Compound" saga and which was posted on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit, deals with two children (Anna and Francis) who literally broke into the Redditor's backyard and destroyed their private garden. These kids were so entitled they made threats they couldn't even make, such as lying about how their parents owned the compound and could kick the Redditor and their family out of the neighborhood if they wanted. Luckily, the Redditor later learned that this was a complete lie, but not without some more ridiculous behavior from Anna and Francis's entitled mother.

'I found this reaction horrific': Entitled Karen Mom demands that her son give her his boss's phone number


These helicopter mommies need to stop. If your kid is a legal adult, don't embarrass him by demanding that he gives you his boss's phone number! No, it is not "for emergencies," and your son can see through that. If you really need to "check up on him," send him a call or a text (or have him call or text you) directly. Don't put some poor employer in the middle of all this and jeopardize your son's reputation at work along the way!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Patient_Word5979, who somehow felt that her son was being unfair in this scenario. That's how you know that this lady is probably named Karen. She is so blinded by her own experience that she fails to see how literally everyone around her in this situation (including her husband and her son) thinks she's completely unjustified here.

'I took a video': Lazy coworkers try to scapegoat worker pulling all the weight, she records evidence and throws them under the bus

'He ate like 15 tacos in a parking lot in total silence': People shared the most bizarre dates they've ever been on


These people were all hoping to meet their soulmates - but instead, they got a great story to tell of a crazy date gone wrong! Dating seems like it could be so simple. You meet someone, hit it off, and have a simple meal together. However, not everyone is a natural at dating. 

Some people get super nervous and clam up. Others have a bad attitude about dating. Or maybe they're just not really that into the person they're out to dinner with (and will let them know they're not happy to be dining together). Whether it was a disastrous movie date, making their ex a plus-one, or this one person who ate a Caesar salad in the most disgusting way possible, these Twitter users shared their weirdest and wackiest dating experiences ever. Let's hope that all these folks find their Prince or Princess Charming very soon!

Ghosting FAILS: Cringeworthy Tweets About Getting Ghosted in This Day and Age


Who hasn't been ghosted at this point? And who hasn't ghosted someone else at this point? Whether we like it or not - and if you like it, there's definitely something wrong with you - ghosting has become normalized in the world of online dating. In fact, it has actually bled into every other aspect of life. Friends might ghost you now with little explanation and, even more common these days, hiring managers and interviewers will ghost you regularly. Let's face it: ghosting has spread into your work and love life. You would think if these many people have experienced some form of ghosting in the past, we'd develop the skills and maturity to not inflict that same behavior onto others. But nope! If these ghosting tweets serve as any indication, we simply haven't learned our lesson. Ghosting is here to stay. Keep scrolling below for a look at these cringeworthy ghosting tweets.

'He showed up at my house threatening to burn it down': 20+ Insane neighbors who took neighborly disputes to another level


The existence of other people can be — well — kind of a downer. Nothing spoils the enjoyment of the pleasant dawning sun, with a hot cup of coffee in hand and pleasant birdsong in the air, like being reminded that other people exist. Barking dogs, honking cars, or yelling neighbors puncture tranquil morning thoughts and pull you right back into a bleak and bitter reality of continuance. 

But a barking dog, honking car, or occasional dispute is far from the worst thing one can experience when living in close proximity to other people. There are far worse fates in store for you when your entire livelihood is adjacent to the wrong person or group of people. White-collar psychopaths, entitled arseholes, and the criminally insane are all loaded into the grab-bag of neighborly candidates, and — when you reach into the bag and spin the wheel of fate — you might just pull out one of these insane individuals.

'We don't take cash': Apartment manager demands former tenant write a check for 2 cents? Cue malicious compliance!


There is nothing more ridiculous than writing a check for two cents! This thread was posted on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/lentesta, who recounted how he and his wife received a follow-up bill from their former apartment management company for $0.02. They complied and attempted to make that already stupid payment in person, but the manager of the complex refused to take cash or write off the payment.

 

So naturally, this infuriated the Redditor, who proceeded to write a check for $0.03 and then asked to have a check sent back to them for the overpayment. This went on for enough time that they received the kind of apology you can only dream of from an apartment manager. Now personally, I would not have the time or bandwidth to commit to this kind of malicious compliance, but you have to hand it to the Redditor and his wife for pulling it off.
