Wash your hands and get them ready to meet our face. Moments like these are ones where you wish with all your might that people are joking. Then you think about all the ignorance you've seen in person and you realize they're probably not. For another self-esteem boost, here are some more daunting moments of disappointing facepalm.

Just about everyone had some crazy stuff go down in their high school days. Whether it was stupid, scary or just bizarre, these absurd school incidents will live on with us for the rest of our lives. Sometimes it was an act of rebellion that made people lose it.

This guy's initial failure to make good on a tab at the bar, ended up resulting in the very bartender he had a crush on, reaching out to him. Is he doomed or are we witnessing the start of what could end up being a newfound fling? Forgetting to pay your tab isn't exactly the perfect start to making a good impression upon a bartender that you have a crush on.  

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their experiences with being on the receiving end of wrongful, premature judgments. Judgments are absolutely not always grounded in what is. It's remarkable how many of us can give ourselves over to what thoughts come into our minds, about what defines someone else. 

When the topic of raises came up, this store manager decided to send out a company-wide email forbidding employees from openly discussing their salaries. The problem there is that that violates labor laws, and this genius decided to put their policy into writing. An unfair boss can be the source of drama and justice, like this security guard who go the last laugh or this manager who tried to fire an employee for following the rules.

This dude realized they'd been driving their car in third gear, for years, without having a clue about it. Bit of a humbling moment, to be sure. I guess, better to learn late than never!

It's no myth that children are bizarre and stupid. They believe every lie, have a horrible sense of logic, and a lot of them can't read. So it makes sense that many of us remember the incredibly dumb things we believed as children. Some of them even make some sense before you remember how stupid you were.

It's hard to tell if we love or hate puns. When they're bad, you just want to call the police and sit in the corner facing the wall. But sometimes we feel like we need a ration of puns to satisfy our wordplay cravings. How much you like puns at any given time probably depends on your mood, as well as how many bad ones you've had to see recently.

Sometimes people feel like being a paying customer makes them impervious to criticism, but when it comes to responding to entitled customers who don't reveal the full story, the businesses themselves tend to have some pretty damning responses. Here's one where a business owner leveled with a guy who complained over a dollar taco. This one has an interesting twist regarding that pesky "voice was too high" remark.

The internet is absolutely smeared with the mental diarrhea of people who think they're the smartest person in the world. Whether it's claiming to be smarter than a supercomputer, having more potential than a celebrated professional, or just claiming to have a superior taste in children's cartoons, the internet has been sprayed with the cringeworthy bragging of self-titled geniuses.

This AskReddit user decided to look closely at the male relationship with the idea of romance, and how the drive to find love can shape a man's life. This won't apply for everyone, but it's an engaging read, nonetheless. 

Usually when someone mistakes a customer for an employee it's some kind of horribly entitled Karen who mistakes someone and they just roll with it, but this time it was the staff who had the customer to thank for their case of mistaken identity.

This coder decided to take what's been labeled a "nuclear revenge." It sounds like their ex-employer was a nightmare. Apparently, they refused to pay the coder when they went to leave the job, and followed up that refusal with trying to spread a bad and false reputation about them. No good!

Sometimes dudes aren't the best at picking up on social cues, and whether or not they're trying to be a big-ass creep, there are various things they'll do that make them look more like a creep. Surprisingly, it turns out lengthy, unbroken staring isn't something people like. For more social red flags, here are red flags to consider when meeting someone new.
