People love virtue signaling online, it gives them the motivation to continue avoiding the miserable reality of inflation, micromanaging work environments, and slimy coworkers. Where do they love doing it? LinkedIn, the playground for employees who want to look like they care way more than they actually do, although there is the occasional outlier who actually believes what they post online. LinkedIn is the place where CEOs go to blabber about their new car only to post about layoffs a day late…

If you're still hoarding an iPhone box from 2015, this is a PSA: Throw it away already! One man's trash may be another man's treasure, but future generations are going to have a mountain of ACTUAL trash to sift through.

Has anyone had one of those horrendous “did I just say that out loud" realizations? If you haven't, you must be some sort of genius because the rest of us common folk have likely felt foolish and unintelligent in public settings countless times.

Life is full of many strange (and potentially misspelled) signs if you're looking carefully enough. It's remarkable how much work a marketing team may put into a billboard without doing a simple spell check or using some common sense with regard to the image they've chosen and how it might be interpreted. You would think that among a group of professionals, someone would have said something with some of these signs. But alas, not everyone is as smart as the readers of FAIL Blog. These funny sig…

The things people say on the Internet, man! It's remarkable what people elect to post on public forums for everyone else's amusement and consumption. Granted, sometimes it's totally intentional. People who fancy themselves to be aspiring comedians often turn to social media to find an audience. But oftentimes, the funniest Internet comments are the unintentionally hilarious ones. The ones where people forgot they were posting this online for everyone to see. The ones where people shared way too…

Sure, people's various passions, interests, and worldviews make them unique individuals, but sometimes it's your specific pet peeves that make you truly stand out. For instance, there are a lot of people in this world who are interested in science fiction movies, but not a lot of people in this world who are annoyed to no end by the breathing patterns of their nearest coworkers. We all would like to think that it's the positive aspects of our personalities that make us special, but we should be…

Without physical and social cues, dating can get lost in translation really quickly. When written incorrectly, a joke can get easily misinterpreted, sarcasm can remain unclear, and the potentiality for a first date can go down the drain in an instant. This is the reality of how most relationships begin in this day and age. It's sort of like how actors and performers discuss the differences between auditioning and working on a play or film. Mastering the art of auditioning is its own craft, sepa…

Some of these may sound gross, but always try it before you judge it! Someone had to have taken a risk in order for us to socially accept some already bizarre food combinations in our culture: pineapple and pizza, fruit and chocolate, milk and cookies. At one point in time, all of those food combinations were considered taboo and weird. In fact, if you ask some people (like me), pineapple and pizza are still pretty disgusting together. That being said, enough people enjoy the mix of these two v…

Everyone has a thing or two that gets under their skin . For a surprising amount of people, that thing is “breathing.” So many people left thoughtful and interesting replies to our Facebook post asking, “What's something other people do that you find really cringy?” And many people replied that “breathing” and “eating” really bothered them. I understand---some people just breathe kind of loudly or in a whistly manner, and they're not usually aware of that. They're not even doing anything wrong!…

Kids and teens can't help but have a few embarrassing moments . Okay, maybe more than a few. As a kid, you're able to let loose and say and do pretty much whatever you want. Children usually know not to say bad words or talk back to adults. But there are a lot of nuances they don't understand, and a world of knowledge that they haven't had time to learn from. That's probably why it's so much fun to be around little kids while they're letting off steam, bouncing off the walls and babbling about…

It's hard to find psychological meaning underneath some of these wildly bizarre dreams. For instance, how can one find meaning behind dreaming that you are a raw chicken cutlet climbing a cliff? Could it be that you feel like your life is uncooked and begging for adventure? Could it be that you don't quite feel like a human? That you're completely misunderstood? We're grasping at straws here because the dreams these folks shared via this r/AskReddit thread are so “out there” one has to wonder w…

There are certain places where you can see the full range of the human experience, warts and all: the subway, the DMV, and, of course, the airport. We have all had memorable experiences waiting in the security line, sitting at the gate, or being stuck on the tarmac for hours on end. Those memories are seared into our brains forever and inform every insecurity we'll have the next time we travel. Most of the time, however, what we experience at airports is completely outside of our control. Becau…

You know that feeling when you're at a party and there's a long awkward silence and someone decides to break the tension with a random, bizarre fact that leaves everyone stunned and confused? Well, if you don't know that feeling, we've got you covered with a fresh collection of strange facts compiled from this r/AskReddit thread. So if you're hoping to be that person who makes everyone's heads turn during the next awkward pause, this is your opportunity to lean into the strangest version of you…

This waitress wanted to share a story about a family interaction at her job, but commenters took the customers' side! The OP has a few memorably cringe lines. If a waiter ever handed me water and in the same breath told me about how it had “came out of the dinosaurs years ago. [It's] just filtered super well," I'd hesitate to eat there. What a weird thing to say about a fresh beverage! Perhaps one of the worst ways to make water sound appetizing is to remind the customer of how water filtration…

You might do a double-take and think you're misreading these signs. Fortunately, you're not crazy. These are actual signs from billboards, retail stores, and public bathrooms galore. Some of the requests being made are so ridiculous that you begin to question everyone else's sanity. For instance, do people really wash their feet in the sink of a public bathroom? Do people really tweet about a fire in the building before evacuating? Do the marketing teams of these major chains really not catch g…

Finding the right roommate is just like finding the right apartment: sure, desperate times call for desperate measures, but you cannot compromise too much, or else you'll face the consequences. At the end of the day, a bad roommate can ruin a great apartment, whereas a great roommate can at the very least improve the experience of living in a bad apartment. At least the two of you are getting along as you suffer through it! If the two of you do not get along, it doesn't matter if you have a was…
