'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…

'This is all I get': Person donates 6 bags of clothing and food to young family, then woman demands more

You give someone your little finger, and they'll eventually take the whole hand. I learned the hard way that many people online are fishing for constant donations, and it usually isn't the ones who actually need it. I didn't really lose anything in the process, but I do wish I would have given certain things to people who would actually make use of them. One good-willed person's kindness went south after scouring ‘Free stuff’ groups online and offering 6 bags of clothing and food to a young fam…

'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. The point of most s…

'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…

'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

'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.
