Human beings are nothing if not creative, and we have an eye for the particular. Thanks to the fluid, ever-evolving nature of language, and the systems of meaning pre-built into context, our brains are able to word better than words can even word themselves. And because of that, sometimes a patch of words hits you in just the right way, like a spicy rare insult  or a funny tweet or tumblr gem where you go "alright I bet no one ever said that before."

While rain is most certainly a "free" thing that occasionally falls from the sky, if someone goes through the trouble of collecting it, it's just a bit inconsiderate to undo their work by taking their rain water. It sounds like this guy was just trying to put the neighbor's entitlement in check. The last thing anyone wants to do is to let a neighbor's entitlement run amok and end up just getting worse. For some more neighbor drama check out these neighbors that claimed someone's private property was communal space, and then ended up getting towed in the process. 

To what extent is a cat or dog capable of feeling guilt? The answer is case by case. In the case of some pets like Prancer, the most irredeemable dog, you're likely to get as much remorse as you would a rock. Some dogs probably think they're doing you a favor by eating the door so you can be together. Maybe dogs who get stuck in things are a little more emotionally invested in you if they need your help, but they're also pretty good at making it seem like they don't really care.

Dating can be a disorienting, discouraging, outright wild experience in life. Sometimes, you find yourself on a date with someone who seemed completely normal, reasonably sane, and then realize that they were just doing a terribly great job at hiding all of their red flags. This Twitter thread that includes people describing the most unforgettably awkward dates they've ever been on might make you feel better about the worst dates you've ever had to suffer through. 

This isn't the first time that we've seen someone in a position of power let all that intoxicating authority get to their heads, and we sure doubt it'll be the last time. It sounds like this building manager was just asking for a bit of a wakeup call. Fortunately, the fire marshal had the presence of mind to give it to him. And just picturing the rest of the people that were subjected to that infuriatingly long fire drill, rally around to vocalize their complaints is really something special. 

We're all creatures of habit, but some habits of ours become more than that. And it's not like  illicit substances or gambling or shoplifting are the only things people can become addicted to. Caffeine, sugar, or the satisfying feeling of a Q tip hitting the Q spot are all things we find ourselves depending on. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and tell yourself "you're addicted to diet coke." 

In what he probably thought was the big-brain scheme of the century, this guy was selling sandwiches his wife made for him at work so he could buy fast food. It's a little sad, because clearly if they're in demand, the sandwiches themselves are really good. Is this too ridiculous and petty? Is it a massive betrayal of trust? It's definitely something, so the internet judged. And how hard is it for this guy to make his own sandwiches? For another relationship food quarrel, here's a picky eater husband who demanded fancier meals.

What do you do when your washing machine breaks, sealing your wet clothes inside itself? Do you bust open the machine like a safe full of your own sopping underwear, breaking the warranty in the process? Do you let your clothes rot in their tomb and eat the cost of half your whole wardrobe? It's not an easy choice already, but slap on some wholly unaware customer service and you've got yourself a predicament. Impossible-to-win moments like this are a good reason why some customers cause scenes.

This is such a wild scenario that we're not even sure if it's totally accurate to just call the mom in this story "entitled." Like, she is far out there, man. The whole element in the story where she's apparently been taking the money her husband has been giving her for babysitting, is just a tad bit ridiculous as well. Like, what's really going on over there? With all that being said, we're just grateful that the dramatic, stressful saga was eventually able to be resolved when everything came to light, and the husband learned about what had been going on. The nerve of some people truly blows the mind. 

You've got to love the terribly vindictive nature of the company involved in this rather absurd unfolding of events. After they clearly lose a case that they never needed to start up in the first place, they just have to throw out some more unnecessary animosity before it's all said and done. As for the IT guy misunderstanding the bad mouse report, it can happen to the best of us. Sounds like he was merely caught up in all of his company's nonsense. For another tech support tale, check out the time that an owner fired the whole IT department, and the sabotage that ensued. 

It's funny and enlightening Tumblr threads like the one we have here that can effectively shine a light on just how hilariously different, people's habits can end up being. In this case, we're dealing with a series of different, occasionally wildly unacceptable bed positions. Some people set their bed up to feel safe as possible. Some people are like Thomas Jefferson, and apparently from another planet. If this Tumblr thread got you going, check out some more random and funny Tumblr gems over here. 

Sure, we must learn history or else we're doomed to repeat it. But mostly we learn history so we can understand sweet history memes for the splendiferously learned. Why study anything else when there are Great Emu War and Mongol expansion references to be made? It's time for those delectable history memes to become one with time.

I mean, in all fairness an accidental professional revenge is better than no revenge at all. It seems as if the world's unfortunately never going to run out of shady landlords trying to pull fast ones on unsuspecting tenants. So, I guess it falls on us to read up on those tenant rights, and then clap right on back with pro revenges when the opportunities present themselves. For some more landlord drama check out this tenant who staged a coup d'état on a terrible landlord. 

We're all prone to fits of impatience. Unfortunately, sometimes that impatience can manifest in some pretty rude behavior. Especially when it comes to trying to get a hold of customer service, and being told that there might be a bit of a wait. Fortunately in this case, the company's community remained loyal and promptly shut this guy's complaining down. For another tale from the world of call centers, check out this story about an old lady who couldn't get any sympathy and then how an employee saved the day. 

Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job knows that the gig comes with all kinds of emotional hardships that fall well outside the pay grade. You could be having a perfectly peaceful day, maybe even somehow in a good mood as you're stocking shelves, and then boom, a Karen walks in. A Karen who has taken it upon herself to completely upend your day with all kinds of nasty, entitled, toxic nonsense. Hopefully none of these infamous incidents from retail workers ring any bells for you. 

Is there a quicker, more sure-fire way to sabotage your own company than firing everyone and deleting all of your valuable work-related data? It's like this owner was trying to ruin himself as fast as humanly possible. It's never a good idea to screw over the IT guy. Case in point, this time management illegally banned overtime pay and IT got it all back.
