'On a scale of 1-10, how high maintenance are you?': Top Pickup Lines of the Week (October 8, 2023)

No one ever said that the most memorable pickup lines had to be the great ones. Some pickup lines are creative and clever and wholesome. Those are obviously strong in quality. For this list, we've included a few of those ones for good measure. However, cynical-minded folks like me will be more interested in the pickup lines that are so bold and so bad that somehow they're good?! We love a bold swing and a miss here at FAIL Blog, and you have to hand it to some of these singletons because they r…

'Can I just... "accidentally" knock the cake over?': 20+ ways to ruin a wedding

'Can I just... "accidentally" knock the cake over?': 20+ ways to ruin a wedding

So much can go wrong at a wedding. Tensions are running high, everyone's stressed, and lots of money is often involved. Recently, I officiated a friend's wedding and felt the pressure first-hand for the first time. Not only could so much go wrong objectively but also I could be the one to mess everything up. And of course, it's impossible for your brain not to go to that place where you're like, “What if I said this instead of what I'm supposed to say? what if I just up and left right now and s…

Sometimes, being an adult means having to endure life's countless inconveniences. These can range from having a food craving and receiving a soggy delivery to waiting at the DMV for what feels like an eternity. When you find yourself confronted with one of life's mildly infuriating moments, there often isn't very much you can do. You can throw a fit, but 99% of the time, that will do absolutely nothing.

'I let him off easy with an F in the class': Professor regrades student's paper after they 'felt strongly they deserved a better grade'

'I do not want to work for someone like you': Job candidate walks out mid-interview after boss shouts at another employee

Sometimes, it's hard to tell as an interview candidate if you're potentially stepping into a toxic work environment. People tend to present the most performative versions of themselves when they're interviewing someone. Everyone seems to be extra smiley and people only seem to be talking in euphemisms. Direct answers to direct questions are hard to come by during the interview process unless you force their hand. And because everyone's being the best versions of themselves, it can be difficult…

'Non action and stop excitement': 20 Garbled signs that almost make sense

Creating a sign shouldn't be this difficult. We can't all be sign experts! And sometimes you need a quick sign ASAP. So you scribble one out with a marker, and carry on with your day. Sometimes the sign-maker is a bad speller. Others simply got too creative with the placement of each word, making it nearly impossible to figure out what the flyer is trying to say. People captured photos of these signs found out in the wild. Some say these posters and flyers are still up today, haunting the walls…

'I would get tons of free items': 20 Top Clever Loopholes of the Week (August 24, 2023)

We all love a clever loophole. It could be a newly discovered way to get free stuff. It could be a way to get out of responsibility. Regardless of what the purpose of the loophole is, there is a special kind of satisfaction that comes with discovering one. It's like discovering a secret that you and only you can benefit from for the time being. Like any secret, you have to be careful about the people with whom you share your discovery because you don't want to lose the precious gifts that come…

Who knew that a round of golf would be the key to getting even with a domineering high school teacher? Look, we all had that one teacher who was unnecessarily strict, stubborn, and rude. That teacher who wouldn't let students have their moment of freedom. In this case, that moment of freedom was the Senior Skip Day tradition.

'Force me to do Karaoke?': Non-singer pressured to perform at show-off's karaoke party, cue malicious compliance

Karaoke is not for everyone, and it's ten times worse when you have an actual good singer present. We all know why that is. They hog the microphone, they take it too seriously, they pick obscure songs (probably musical theater), and belt crazy notes that don't actually sound as good as they think. In short, karaoke is only fun when everyone in the group is on the same page about what this is. You can either have a room full of show-offs and legitimate singers, or you can have a room full of non…

'That's my job': Interview candidate calls company, accidentally speaks to the employee she might replace, employee left aghast

This job candidate thought it was a good idea to call up the company she was interviewing for, until she realized she made a huge mistake. That's because the marketing assistant who answered the phone just so happened to be the very person the Redditor would be replacing if she were to get the position. It gets worse…. the current employee had absolutely no idea she was being replaced at all. Talk about a shady boss and a major red flag for the interview candidate! If this story serves a purpos…

20+ Misleading packaging and items that overpromised and failed to deliver

Managing people's expectations is one of the most important parts of any communication around service delivery. The last thing you want to do is overpromise and then not deliver on the expectations that you have set for yourself. Underdelivering on expectations will always end up with people being disappointed—regardless of if it's a business or personal relationship. It's far easier to set realistic expectations in the first place and then win them over when you exceed that just-average level…
