'What I ordered vs. what I got': Top Mildly Infuriating Moments of the Week (September 28, 2023)

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.

You can cry about it, but that doesn't change the reality of the situation. Instead, it will…

'For a winter play... I offered to do the worm across the stage ': 25+ Moments of cringe that keep people awake late at night

We all have at least one moment in our lives that makes us shrivel up with embarrassment (and if we're being honest with ourselves, there's definitely more than one cringey mistake we look back on). I used to be way more embarrassed when I made mistakes, but the older I get, the more mistakes I make. I'm getting used to it, I suppose. If you let you of your need to be perfect and impress all your friends, you have a little less cringe to look back on at night wondering, “Why did I ever say that…

'It's all in your head': Top cringe comments from doctors with poor bedside manner

Have you ever been to the doctor's office and heard something from your physician that made you wonder if they actually just said that? It could be poor bedside manner or an inappropriate remark. Perhaps they think of you as more of a friend than as a patient, which honestly is entirely on them. Sure, everyone has experienced moments of casual unprofessionalism, but we really don't want that from our physicians, right? We understand that even the nerdiest of doctors are, in fact, human, and the…

No matter how popular you were in school, there was definitely a moment when you either literally or figuratively fell flat on your face. That moment is seared in your memory for as long as you are living.

Perhaps it affects your daily routine somehow, like always bringing an extra change of clothes with you in case you have an uncontrollable bath…

'So petty and gross': 15+ Cringe Roommate Stories

Some people are born to be good roommates; others are meant to stay away from all humans and live entirely alone. That may sound savage, but it's just the truth. When you start having to cohabitate with other humans outside of your immediate family, you should have to undergo some sort of personality test to see what the best kind of living situation might be for you. That way, you're saving yourself and any potential future roommates the trouble of having to passive-aggressively communicate to…

'I find out she was in the middle of being fired': Coworker cracks friendly joke, unbeknownst to him it was during the most inconvenient moment

They say comedy is all about timing. You never really know if that's true until you experience a poorly timed joke. For example, depending on the audience's vibe, it's always time for a joke at a comedy stand up show. However, if you're at a funeral and you're asked to say a few words—again, depending on the crowd—that's usually a bad time to crack a joke. Those are pretty obvious examples of comedic timing. A new example has come from a Reddit story . The OP truly made very very poor comedic t…
