Top Trending Dating App Fails That Backfired This Week (December 6, 2022)
You can smell the desperation from here, folks. That's right. It's the Holiday season, which means that your average dating app conversations have gotten a bit more desperate than they normally are (and believe me, they already are). These messages were posted to Reddit's r/Tinder subreddit, and let's just say that this December, it seems that people are taking big swings and striking out.

Crazy Nun Takes Her Child to a Horror Movie about Demonic Possession, Leaves Hilarious 1 Star Review
A nun and her kid walk into a horror movie? I don't remember this joke. Firstly, yes, this nun allegedly has a kid of her own, and yes, this nun took said kid to a horror movie. And not just any horror movie…a horror movie about demonic possession.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/Chelseas777, who found the 1-star review online. The review left Redditors in the comments section stunned, to say the least. To be honest, we all have so many questions. There's the question of this nun who has a child. Then there's the image of a nun with a slushy. I suppose nuns deserve slushies too! And then there's the question of why she thought this movie was appropriate. Regardless, we the people were able to enjoy reading this wild review. If that's the good that came out of this, that's enough for me.

‘I Know the Policy but I Want the Discount Anyway’ : Entitled Customer V.S Stubborn Employee Who Is Miserably Just Doing His Job
Why people insist on purposely doing the opposite of an establishment's policy will always be a mystery to me. It's like people wake up, and say to themselves 'Hmmm, today I seek to be deliberately rude to an employee, just because I don't agree with the way things are done at his workplace'. For example, if you know that you only get a discount by telephone, then why try and cheat the system? It would take exactly five seconds to make the call and get the discount.
But nooooo, you must enter the said establishment, patronize the poor employee who definitely doesn't give two hoots about the place but needs to pay his rent somehow, and then be purposely unhelpful. Who cares if the policy is dumb or illogical? We're all grown-ups here, deal with it. Below you will find an infuriating Reddit post, written by someone who has obviously not worked in customer service a day in his life. Someone who believes that we employees, make the rules. Well, think again… Because we certainly didn't wake up today and think to ourselves 'Hmmm, how can we inconvenience our customers today?'.
Bitter people be bitter.
Bridezilla and Groom Guilt Teenage Cousin into Gifting Them Her Taylor Swift Ticket, Entire Wedding Gets Ruined
The things people will do for Taylor Swift...if you happen to live under a rock, you might not know that Taylor Swift is going on tour in 2023 and the concert presale was a giant fiasco. What's even more insane is that the drama hasn't stopped there. It seems like entire families are being destroyed over a concert that hasn't even happened yet.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/vigilante_sh*t_13, an apt username for a true Swiftie. When the Redditor's cousin found out at his wedding that the original poster managed to get a ticket to the Eras Tour, he pulled her aside and tried to guilt her into giving her ticket to his new wife. When she said no, one would think the drama was over and done with. Nope! He proceeded to make an announcement in front of everyone that the Redditor graciously gave up her seat. Now, you might be asking yourself: did this grown man seriously just try to bully his teenage cousin into giving up a concert ticket? Yes. Yes, he did, and now the entire family is divided.

30+ People share different culture's names for that 'end piece of the bread', a surprising amount of cultures have the same idea
If you needed proof that all cultures have something in common: This is it. As it turns out, that end piece of crusty bread is regarded in a similar, if not identical, way in each culture. Forever an outcast, or as the Scottish put it: an outsider, that end piece of bread is regarded by all to be an inferior or unwanted portion, earning names like 'The Mother-in-Law,' the 'Butt' 'Boss,' 'Heel,' 'Nob'; all terms being derogatory, unwanted, and utterly dreadful, dirty things.
This is a topic that has been floating around the wider web. I've seen it pop up on Reddit, Twitter, and TikTok in the past few weeks. We posed the question to our Facebook community to see what answers they had on the topic.
This list is comprised of answers from a viral Twitter thread as well as answers from our own Facebook community. Keep reading for the answers; for more, check out these bizarre dates that Twitter users shared.
'He sent his brother instead. I was upset...' Wife drags BIL along on involuntary 2-hour ice-cream excursion, wonders if she's wrong
There are some things on the internet that remind you that people never really change — even when they reach adulthood. The sheer amount of immaturity and general inability to reach logical conclusions that one witnesses as they go about their day is a testament to this fact — as is the existence of 'Disney Adults.'
Cheap shots at adult fanatics of Walt's work aside — this AmItheA**hole thread is rife with poor decision-making and reads like a horror B movie script: with every issue being able to be resolved with the slightest amount of communication.
This type of plot structure might have worked in a time without cellphones (looking at you Sleepless in Seattle), but in this day and age — no matter how much you resent your partner — is it really that hard to pick up the phone and call them? Or even twiddle your thumbs around a bit to send them a text message?
Communication might not have been on the menu, but ice cream sure was; some suspicious Redditors seem to think that the BIL himself might have been on the menu as well. This AITA poster is now wondering whether or not she was in the wrong for dragging her BIL along on this ice cream adventure. She's definitely the a**hole here; her husband probably is as well. As far as we can tell, only the BIL is in the clear here unless Reddit's latest conspiracy about a secret affair can somehow be substantiated.

'I don't like the portrayal of lamps in this movie': 20+ Movie review fails that will have you throwing popcorn at the screen
This year was an exceptionally great year for movies. It also saw the growth of movie reviews online, with the popularity of Letterboxd becoming a meme. Letterboxd is an app for rating and reviewing movies, from one to five stars, which you can share with your friends and followers. These reviews are often wonderful and enlightening, giving you additional insight into a movie before you head to the theater. Plus, you end up learning about new movies from across the globe that you may not have even known existed. The people below wrote incredibly funny reviews that might not exactly tell you if you're going to enjoy the movie - but will still make you laugh your head off regardless.
Scroll down to check out the madness behind these movie reviews, and then click here to read about one youngster who kept the change while working…until he saved up literally thousands of dollars.
Attention-Seeking Male Karen Removes Friends Who Didn't Wish Him a Happy Birthday From Facebook
Dude, you just want attention! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/Shopping-Afraid, is further proof that male Karens are just as ridiculous and just as savage, if not more so.
The fact that this entitled guy was truly expecting personalized "Happy Birthday" messages on his Facebook says a lot about how current he is in 2022. News flash: we don't really use Facebook for birthday messages anymore. Facebook is for groups, stalking, and finding old, embarrassing photos. If you're actually measuring your true friendships by how many birthday messages you receive on a public forum, that in and of itself is probably the reason why you're coming up short with each passing year. And let's be real: there's no way this guy remembers to wish more than maybe three individuals a happy birthday when their days come around. One person in the comments section said it best: this guy is suffering from "main character syndrome."

'You can't do that, I pay your tax': Confused Kevin insists on buying advance tickets for movie theater that's about to close, won't take no for an answer
Reddit user Dragon_Crystal had an amazing story to tell about this one confused dude who didn't quite understand why he couldn't buy tickets to a movie he really wanted to see. In this funny tale, this befuddled employee worked at a chain theater that was going to be closing in just a few months.
One day, in comes a Kevin, and he has a strange request - tickets for a movie that's playing a few months in the future. Ordinarily, that's no problem, because theaters sell advanced tickets all the time. When OP explained to him that this specific theater was actually about to be demolished, this Kevin just could not get it through his head! The OP found the situation pretty amusing, but ended up escalating the situation to their boss, River, to clear things up. Check out the whole conversation below, plus check out what the commenters said (because they kind of roasted this clueless Kev).

'Never mess with my money': Technicians band together against corporate for 'glorious malicious compliance'
In this story, there's a happy ending for those who deserve one! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/SirMizzuh, who proves to be a true man of the people, as they say.
He worked as a technician for a small telecom company in a full-time capacity, but eventually they started to institute shady policies (i.e. enforcing double trips for every ticket, cutting employee hours, tracking their every move, etc.). They even held required meetings (and tried not to pay employees for those meetings), where they would go through every detail on their timesheets. If this isn't a setup for some Machiavellian malicious compliance, I don't know what is. Keep scrolling below to see how the Redditor and his coworkers banded together to get back at corporate. It's even more glorious when you learn what happened to the company at the end of the day. For more, take a look at this post about an employee who was CC'd about her own upcoming termination.

‘I need to park here, get out...’ 'I live here, that's not how it works': Scowling Karen throws tantrum for parking spot, dude already parked there hilariously goes feral 'Boston' on her
It's not very often that you render a Karen speechless, but when it happens everything feels alright in the world. At least for that moment when the Karen looks at you shocked with utterly nothing to say. So epically satisfying. Recently, a construction worker from Boston had that moment and shared it online and it's truly making everyone's day.
The construction worker, Tyler Dilisio was sitting in his van outside of his home before heading out to work. While he was sitting there minding his own business, a Karen came along and did what they do best, and insert herself into somebody's else's business. She aggressively knocked on this man's car window and demand he leave that parking spot because she needed that spot and he had no right to be there. He looked at her stunned, but with no intention of giving this lady the benefit of the doubt. He stood his ground, told her he is not moving, that is his parking spot, and he lives there. She did not care—obviously. She said she deserved the parking spot, not him, and he had to move or she was going to report his license plate number. (LOL) He made it clear he was absolutely not moving from that spot and she responded by calling him a "disgusting piece of crap."
Usually, that is when somebody would either walk away or look at the Karen in disbelief, but not a Bostonian. Without missing a beat, he looked her in her smug Karen face and said in the most epic Boston accent, "ya mother." The look she gave in response to that was simply priceless. Twitter is blowing up about it, TikTok can't get enough of watching this Karen's shocked face. It's good to know that just going feral "Boston" on a Karen is the most effective path when dealing in their childish tantrums.

'My wife snores like a water buffalo drowning in porridge': 30 Rare insults from roast-masters on the internet
Internet roasts hold a special place in our hearts, mainly for their unending creativity. IRL, no one would think to call someone a "warm toilet seat" or a "hate filled turnip"! Thankfully, hidden behind their keyboards, these merciless roast-masters are coming for everyone. They're lurking in the comments section, ready to pounce.

'Blueberries are the only fruit named after a color:' 30 people who were proudly, confidently incorrect
Did you know that fake news tends to travel around the web significantly faster than true stories? The internet is fairly lawless when it comes to that, so it's no wonder that so many people have drastically wrong opinions. At the time of writing this, Twitter had instated blue check marks for tons of random accounts who paid $8 for the privilege, leading to a positively hilarious few weeks of mayhem. There was a fake Twitter Support account that was cursing people out instead of helping, fake celebrity accounts, and even fake brands. Fake news may be harder to escape than ever! In these photos below, people definitely fell for a few old wives tales or fake news factoids. Or they were just straight up wrong - but still ready to shout their opinions from the rooftops anyway.

Teacher on a Power Trip Refuses to Give College Student a Perfect Score
This teacher clearly has a chip on their shoulder. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit by u/TheReallyEvil1, and let's start by acknowledging that this student's future is by no means being compromised by these slightly less-than-perfect scores. Complaining about getting good grades is a great way to get people to dislike you. However, once something like this happens three times in a row, it's worth complaining about.
Several people in the comments section pointed out that there are numerous teachers out there who believe that no one is worthy of a perfect score because humans are not perfect and only "the man upstairs" is. Ideologies like those make me instantly gag. I would rather this teacher just be a petty mastermind than spew that nonsense to their students. At this point, it's definitely worth it for the student to confront their professor and pick their brain about what their reasoning might be.

'They charged her $200': Server saddled with dine and dasher's entire bill in viral thread, internet outraged
One of the (few) benefits of not operating your own business, and instead working for someone else's, is that you take on none of the risks of the business — isn't that the sole reason why businesses and executive management justify keeping so much of the profits?
New Level Of Cringe: 20 Dad Jokes That Are So Bad They’re Actually Funny
Ah, another batch of cringeworthy dad jokes just in time for the holidays. If you've spent Thanksgiving with your family, you probably had to suffer a few dad jokes at the table. Maybe you pretended they were funny, or maybe you were rude and straight up about how they weren't… either way, these jokes never cease to fascinate us. For some reason, dads genuinely think that they're funny. They aren't, most of the time, but their confidence is unbreakable.
As we get older, we may find ourselves unintentionally imitating our dad's behavior — and before we know it, we may find that we are the ones making other people uncomfortable, or getting butthurt that somebody didn't laugh at our joke. We hope somebody will be there to snap us out of it because nobody wants to be that dude. So without further ado, scroll down and check out the funniest dad jokes we've found on Reddit this week.
'Basically out of state tuition for Reese Cups': Dude confesses to overcharging 5,000 people at snack stand
For most of us, the worst thing we ever did in high school was skip class or stay out too late on the weekends. For this guy, who shared this years-old secret on the r/Confession page, he did something apparently much worse, according to some commenters: he swindled thousands of people out of their pocket change as they bought snacks!
The story goes that this dude was in charge of a snack table at his high school's sports games. But without any type of menu dictating prices of snacks, he took the initiative to be a little sneaky. This poster actually answered lots of questions in the comments, too! The post was pretty polarizing, with some commenters claiming he's a stone cold liar. But other commenters were pretty impressed with this young person's boldness and, well, his ability to steal. The post is tagged with "remorse," and in the comments the OP admitted it was stealing. How much money is too much money, though? No one can quite agree on that.

'This has caused some of our worst fighting': Greedy husband refuses to split $400 rebate from HOA with his wife
This guy must hate his wife! In fact, if they don't end up splitting that $400 rebate, it's very possible that the two of them will be the ones splitting up.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/NorthEazy, who has as much self-awareness as an inanimate object. He was recently accepted into the Board of Directors of their HOA. Prior to his membership, he and his wife would split their $400 HOA fee down the middle. However, one of the perks of joining the Board is that they no longer have to pay that fee. Enter the conflict! Our greedy husband over here seems to think that because he serves on the Board, he should be granted that $400 rebate, while his wife should still have to pay a $200 fee. I guess marriage is less of a true partnership for him and more of a transaction since she would basically be paying him that money. Ridiculous!

'I've met a baby named Felonee and that takes the cake': 20+ Cringeworthy Baby Names
Remember when we thought Apple was a bad baby name? That would be Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's Apple, of course. Or remember that episode of 30 Rock when Cerie considers naming her unborn child "Bookcase?" Well, as it turns out, the fine line between parody and reality grows even finer when you learn about what some actual normal parents named their actual babies.
This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AskReddit page, not only makes you lose respect for the parents involved as the initial prompt suggests, but it also makes you fear for the future of these kids once they enter school. For some of these names, it's impossible to imagine bullying not occurring. Keep scrolling below to have a look for yourself!

'He's a major legal liability': Bigoted coworker lashes out at fast food restaurant
It's shocking that this guy hasn't been fired yet! He lashed out at multiple coworkers, including his manager, at this point, spewing a series of hateful remarks that are more than enough grounds for dismissal. You have to wonder why real actions haven't taken place yet.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/EmotionalAirVent, who explained that the only reason why they became a target of their coworker's rage was that their work station was the one he wanted to take over. Mind you, the original poster has been working at "the big M" for much longer than the bigoted coworker and is apparently much better at the job itself. The fact that this person is also bad at his job on top of all the horrible comments he has made in such a short amount of time does not bode well for his future at this drive thru. If the manager doesn't do anything soon, we suggest that the Redditor talk to corporate.

Update! 'There was broken glass everywhere': Can-stealing delinquent nephew gets arrested after trashing uncle's home
What do you do when you've been caught and punished for your delinquent actions? Apologize and learn from the experience, improving your life and outlook? No! Double down on your mistakes — of course!
That was the illogical reasoning that led us to this update in a post that was shared on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. This one escalates and gets pretty wild. I was kind of on the fence about sharing this one because it takes a sharp left turn out of the "fun zone." after the nephew is arrested and taken to juvenile hall… but — in the spirit of the update — here we are. All of this over $200 worth of collected recycling deposit cans…
For those who missed the original thread that we shared last week, you can view it here, as it is not included in this post. The gist of it is this: This uncle arrived home and noticed that his shed had been broken into; the only thing that was missing was hundreds of empty soda cans that he kept in massive bags in the shed. He had been collecting these with the intention of eventually turning them into the recycling plant to collect their bounty. The cans were gone, but the uncle had plenty to go off of to unravel this mystery. The idiots had broken into the shed in clear view of his security cameras and without wearing any disguises. The culprits were easily identifiable because, well, they were his nephews.
This led to a whole exchange between the uncle and his sister, the nephew's parents, which eventually led to the police getting involved.
Now that you're all caught up… Keep reading for this update to last week's thread. For more family drama, check out this brother who thought that his child would be the exception to a child-free wedding; the groom put him in his place.
'With all due respect, you've never even worked in a restaurant before:' Hostess claps back at egotistical new manager who has never even worked a day in the service industry before
If you have never worked in the service industry, then there is no way you will understand. Explaining the type of chaos that comes with working in a restaurant does not even come close to conveying how it actually is to experience it. So when you get a new manager who has never been yelled at by a Karen customer or who doesn't even know how annoying it is to be stuck with everyone else's' side work and they're trying to tell you how to do your job… That's gotta be a hell no to me, dog. One hostess had that experience, but was not going to hold back. "Don't come in and act like you already know everything when you're a new comer to not only the job, but [also] the whole industry," she starts to say to the in-experienced new manager in the most respectful way possible.
'Tired And Broke' : Best Memes Of The Week To Show Your Coworkers
I got 99 problems, but a coworker ain't one of 'em... just kidding; of course they're a problem — making that 100 problems.
Is anybody else ironically listening to Dolly Parton on the way to work? No, just me? Well, as she so famously sings, 'Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin', barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'…' — just… sigh. And so it is, definitely not by choice. Sometimes you gotta take what life can give you until you work your way up to something better.
You will meet a lot of people on the way there, and many of them will work with you. Some are better than others, making your life easier. And some are the absolute worst. They don't exactly motivate you to come to work every morning. But alas, that's life. Sometimes you gotta power through and answer their atrocious emails. In addition, maybe you get lucky and get blessed with a coworker you actually like. Life is full of surprises. Scroll down for the best coworker memes to make your day a little bit better.
'I was told it looks unprofessional': Front desk employee at hotel not allowed to use same bathroom as guests, cue malicious compliance
God forbid the guests realize the employees are human! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/toomuchteatoday, who shared their experience working at a hotel that was recently completely redone with new management and new obscene "rules."
Some of these rules include the following ridiculous mandates: that employees cannot use the same bathrooms as the guests and should therefore take the 5-minute walk to the closest employee bathroom and that employees are not allowed to keep a bottle of water with them behind the desk and should also take a long walk to the beak room just to stay hydrated. So what did this Redditor do? Follow the rules, of course. What did that, in turn, create? Long lines of guests waiting to be served and bad reviews online. Malicious compliance at its finest!

Funniest Liver King Memes That Will Make You Roid Rage and Go Primal
Social media fitness celebrity, Brian Johnson, aka the Liver King, has finally been proven to be a fraud! All it took was years of eating raw animal organs, malnourishing his family for online clout, and $11,000 worth of metabolic steroids every month. Ouch. For a fitness influencer that is obsessed with living a "natural" lifestyle, like the Liver King, this was a devastating blow for his body building followers. However, if you look at his sinuously enormous physique and the crazed look in his eye, we really should have known he was roiding out all along. Besides, what's natural about eating raw livers, animal-part protein shakes, and bovine baIIs? There's nothing natural about that… Who knew that someone who ate bull testicIes on the daily would turn out to be such a nut job.
His primal following of Wholefoods hunter-gatherer men are mourning the fall of their ancestral guru, wondering why they keep sucking the marrow out of animal bones to get swoll when they could have just spent tens-of-thousands of dollars on steroids.
