'Love worry laugh': 20 Graphic design flops

These people have a passion for graphic design, and they're ready to show it to the world. If you're an overthinker, you'll understand why some of these designs look so weird . The designer created a design, then thought, “That's too basic, I should tweak it a bit.” Then after the first revision, they thought, “Maybe I can add something else in.” And after many rounds of overthinking, they've produced something that looks cool to them, but is illegible to the average person.

HR Fires Employee While on Medical Leave: 'the company's needs have changed during your absence'

Can anyone else smell a lawsuit coming? Imagine going on medical leave because of a series of upcoming scheduled surgeries.

'We all had graphic tees with stick figures that said sarcastic things': 35+ Cringe moments from childhood that people wish they could forget forever

It's hard to tell what's a fad and what fashion will last forever. In the moment, you think that those neon fishnet fingerless gloves are the coolest things you've ever laid your eyes on. Or maybe you fell for the trend of chunky highlights, which were supposed to make you look like a celeb. Instead, many of us left the salon with skunk stripes in our hair, or very obvious highlights that weren't complementary. Even if you look back on these memories with immense cringe , I think it's still nic…

Teachers have a lot on their plate. While they're struggling with growing classrooms, more stringent lesson plans, and Karenish moms breathing down their throat, they're essentially expected to raise the next generation of children all on their own– all for measly wages and no 'thank you's.

'I decided it was a matter of opinion': Boss makes casino workers where name tags stating their hometowns, cue malicious compliance
