Well, this is inspiring. What a way to live.
Man oh man, let a story like this serve as a cautionary tale to anyone out there that's naively, proactively underestimating the importance of making sure that their backup files are in check. Fortunately, this student was able to eventually get the work that they needed to get done, done, and look back on their blunder with humor. For some more gold from the tech support world, check out this story about a customer who didn't trust a tech support employee's advice, and lived to regret it weeks later.

Well, you can learn something new everyday. It just might be a bit more humbling, if not humiliating, to learn that mayo isn't a part of the vegan family while you're busy telling people that you're vegan. If anything, it's a quick and funny scenario like this one that should encourage people to do their homework before they go back out into the world and tell other people that they're subscribed to a certain kind of lifestyle, without actually knowing all the rules associated with said lifestyle.
There are definitely fake towns out there, but the specifics of how staffed they might be is up for investigation. How does it feel to walk around in a government fabricated ghost town? Is security for these places really so bad that random people can just accidentally wander in? Wouldn't put it past 'em. It ranks up there with creepy moments people won't forget anytime soon.
No cult will ever reveal that it's a cult, but they're easy enough to spot. It's usually any group with a whole lot of robes, too much enthusiasm and some really nontransparent management. At its core, any group can seem cult-like, especially when it develops its own strict set of rules and ceremonies. In these strange times it wouldn't be surprising if more cults are coming.

As people who have grown up playing video games, we scoff at the notion that video games inherently corrupt people and turn them into violent sociopaths. It's probably more likely that they just turn people into hardline capitalists determined to see how they can buff their intelligence with potions in order to siphon as much gold as possible out of their local apothecary. Video games give people a chance to nuke their fellow players out of orbit, but they also let us cooperate with people we might otherwise not, and sometimes that turns into wholesome moments such as this.
People aren't great at spelling, and boy does it show. Every time someone asks you to choose a restauraunt or asks about your plans for tommorrow, the regrettable and dumb spelling fails become apparent. Sometimes it almost seems as if it's a challenge for people to come up with the most dumb and creative spelling fails.
Man, what a caring roommate this guy is. He decided to reach on out to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Twitter to coordinate an effort to check in on his buddy's date from afar. Suffice to say, the mission was most successful. This will either warm people's hearts, or inspire folks to NOT share with their friends that they're on dates.

Whoever said to love thy neighbor wasn't thinking about these extremely petty things neighbors did. Typically it's parking related, like this HOA member who got a neighbor's car towed, then had the favor returned. This time the internet weighed in on the prospect of demanding chair repayment. But also, like, who just jacks someone's crap?
School can get to be a very boring obligation, and it's only a matter of time before mischievous students end up stirring up some trouble to keep themselves entertained. With that being said, some actions absolutely don't warrant the punishments that they're met with. The folks in this AskReddit thread describe the most mind blowingly stupid things that they ended up getting busted for. Like, yo, let the kid look out the window and stare at the birds for a second.
Many of us have had our unfortunate encounters with an inconsiderate, immature, and grossly entitled roommate at one point or another. It's as if they fell through the cracks when it came to picking up the necessary tidbits of knowledge from the rest of society about how to be a socially, environmentally conscious roommate. It seems like this student's decision was fair enough considering the circumstances, and the fact that the dude seemed as if he wasn't going to change his ways. Check out some more roommate drama with this guy who outwitted his roommate using the Pavlovian Method.

Um, you know you've hit a new high or low in life when you're on a show like Kitchen Nightmares, and you've somehow managed to stun the Gordon Ramsay. Talk about a surreal dining experience.

The future is now, folks. Many years ago if you were out and about talking about the impending reality of sharing the road with driverless cars you'd have been labeled delusional. Yet now, here we are. The car itself puts on quite the impressive show when it comes to how smoothly it's able to navigate the road.

Just in case you were unaware, the 11foot8+8 bridge has developed quite the notorious reputation online for its track record of claiming the roofs of trucks that fail to properly map out the height of the bridge vs. the height of the truck. Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if anyone is getting injured in the process. Just some blows to the egos.
Man oh man, anyone who has a sibling knows that drama can break out over the silliest of things. In this case, we have someone's sister pitching a full on fit after having her car privileges revoked. It sounds like she wasn't respecting the car she was graciously being allowed to use at all. So, having those car privileges revoked seems completely understandable.
Okay, there's just always going to be something about weddings that brings out people's crazy sides. It could be the fact the event itself is hyped up to such an extent that it invites people's irrational, inner perfectionist side to come join the party. The thing about trying to do anything perfect in this life is that it's impossible. You can pretty much count on something always not going as you planned it. Such is life. When you consider that the bride in this scenario literally signed off on the bridesmaid's dress, and then tries to backtrack, it just seems like a lose-lose situation.
