'Peanut vendor wearing suit made peanuts': 30 Fashion-forward flops

'Peanut vendor wearing suit made of peanuts': 30 Fashion-forward flops

It's about to get stylish in here. Ready for the latest looks right off the runway? Well, we have none of that. But we do have some truly excellent fashion pieces that are certainly unique. In the world of highly specific subreddits, one of my favorites is r/ATBGE. It highlights clothing, jewelry, or other artwork that is made with “awful taste, but great execution.” (And because it's Reddit, yes, there is also the exact opposite, called “good taste but awful execution.") It's a helpful way to…

'When our boss arrived, he straight panicked': Employees play dress-up while head bosses visit their workplace

These employees were thrilled to dress up for work for one day. Too bad their boss didn't agree with their outfit choices. Workplaces all have different codes for how employees should dress. Many decades ago, people wore suits and ties or nice dresses to their jobs. Everyone dressed like that every day for work, with few exceptions. These days, though, a lot of offices have relaxed their dress codes. With the exception of places like lawyers' offices or doctor's offices, many employees are tota…

'I decided that I would charge him much, much more': Small business gets even with 'belligerent customer'

This small business knows how to handle their most demanding customers. As a small business , you face unique challenges and have advantages that big chains don't always face. Especially in family-run businesses, the working conditions can be much friendlier to staffers. Corporate chains with hundreds of employees may seem cold in comparison---there's no way they can keep track of all those people. But at a small company, employees can have a little more leeway when it comes to their day-to-day…

These flaws were compiled from the top posts in the r/BadDesigns subreddit from this past month. Some of these entries include store products, job advertisements, warning signs, and even architectural flaws. Regardl…

'Kind of a jumpscare, but here are some pebble platform sandals': 20 Oddly optimist online sellers who tried to make a quick buck with the most random items imaginable

We're all for having a “reduce, reuse, recycle" mindset, but you don't have to sell those beat-up sneakers covered in dirt. I mean, maybe someone will buy them, but is that really worth it for anyone involved? These people below shared some eye-opening finds they discovered while browsing for clothes online . They're browsing an app meant for reselling clothes, which is fine for those cleaning out their closets. However, the site has quite a few issues. There's apparently a rampant problem with…

'Game on': Spunky employee maliciously complies with his manager's strict 'collared shirt' dress code by filling his closet with hideous tropical shirts

Although some fashionable folks cherish their clothing choices every morning, there are others who value comfort over all else, believing that dress codes are reserved for weddings, private high schools, and the opera house. The flip-flop and shorts crowd might even consider the suit-wearing types to be a bit stuck up, forcing their arbitrary dress code requirements on the casual masses in the workplace.

'[They] asked about who her shoe cobbler was': 20+ Subtle signs that you're talking to someone wealthy

Money isn't everything… no, I take that back, it is everything. Money is perhaps 80% of life. People who already have money absolutely love to tell you that “Money isn't everything.” If you're a lonesome lawyer working 90 hours per week who never sees their family, like in a Hallmark movie, than I guess that makes sense. But for most of us, who do have loving family and friends and a moral compass, having an injection of cash would make life a whole lot easier! When you have money, you can get…

'Red hot chilly paper': 30+ Mistakes from people who had just one job, and still couldn't do it correctly

From tiny misprints to stairs that lead nowhere, these folks all failed at their jobs for one day. No one is perfect, since we're all human. Even if you do the same job day in and day out, sometimes you'll make a few mistakes. I'm a big fan of the “ frog cake ” mishap (see #10 for details). Perhaps the usual cake artist was out that day, and maybe an untrained employee just took a swing at it. It's humble, it's modest, it's almost abstract! It's certainly an unforgettable cake, just not in the…

This teenager doesn't want to help his dad with chores anymore after the way his dad spoke to him. When you're 17 years old, you're so close to being an adult, but you aren't quite there yet.

'Dad came up with a little evil plan': Food delivery guy maliciously complies after he's forced to leave his work uniform outside

This food delivery guy got the oddest instructions ever — and they weren't even from his actual customer. Working in the food delivery industry can be quite lucrative if you do it right. Some delivery people can make hundreds of dollars per day between their salary and their customers' tips. Food apps like Doordash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats are so popular that it's no wonder delivery folks sometimes use multiple apps at once. If you're working for two or three separate services, you can try and c…
