It's amazing how quickly stupid tasks become irrelevant the moment it starts costing the company money. The powers that be came down and told this part-timer that they'd have to check their email daily, so naturally, for this employee, it seemed like that should count on company time. For another one, here's a micromanager who demanded too many updates, so an employee fought back with even more updates.

In some cases, a closeup of just about any pot of slime is gonna look bad, but then there are those cursed foods from Lucifer's larder that are so creatively horrible that they're just hard to look at. Props on people for trying something new, but dear god some of this food was created in the underworld's kitchen.

The world is full of unforeseen hazards, and we can thank creepy sign makers for clueing the rest of us in on all the junk we could step into. Spooky signs say a lot with their creepiness and sometimes the sign itself is scarier than the danger. That said most of us would prefer not to fall into a radioactive mine shaft so we can thank these spooky signs even if they're too dang scary.

The movies and romance books in this world have an uncanny knack for instilling in so many of us an unrealistic idea about what love with our respective partners is supposed to look like. This can ultimately contribute towards all kinds of unnecessary anxiety, guilt, sadness, frustration because that love affair that you were once so completely, helplessly overwhelmed by has ended up looking like something that doesn't line up with the picture that a Rom-Com paints. With that being said, this heartfelt Tumblr post effectively breaks down the stereotypes that encircle what a loving relationship can look like with your partner. 

In typical tumblr fashion, we've got a situation that upends ye olde sci fi tropes with the prospect of a regular person chilling on a ship full of cold, calculating Vulcans. It's reminiscent of this study into human nature featuring a space-worthy weaponized Roomba. Tumblr has its own Star Trek ideas, like these questions Tumblr had about gay Klingons.

A whole lot of us have looked at some fixture in our home and thought "man, it wouldn't be too difficult to gussie that thing up a bit. I could borrow Doug's saw and crack that baby open. Maybe throw some extra pipes in there. Yeah, I could have a super toilet." Most of us who have that thought realize very soon after that it's not as easy we might think it is. The rest of us go for it and end up with some low budget DIY engineering solutions.

Like most reasonable people, we're out to find a bargain. Sadly when your brain malfunctions over exchange rates, things can get hairy. It's gotta be hard to take a sip of anything and think "well there goes the cost of a whole pizza." At least for once in your life it's probably good to do something absurd? Here are people's reckless uses of money they don't regret at all. For some worse prospects, here's some of the dumbest financial advice people gotten.

Just when we thought we'd maybe seen it all, we come across a frighteningly clueless human being who has been operating under the assumption that sound waves only move side-to-side. Either that was some kind of totally awful excuse for inconsiderate behavior, or they really meant that. I almost hope it was just a lame excuse. Either way, the pro revenge that ensued was quick and brutal. For some more juicy revenge drama check out this boss who docked an employee's wages illegally, and went on to pay the price. 

Get a bunch of people spewing words at each other and you're bound to catch some verbal lighting in a bottle. Whether it's people trying to remember the weirdest parts of their childhoods or complete strangers attempting to bond over extremely specific references, tumblr hits hard with the shiny tumblr gems.

Weddings have an uncanny knack for attracting all kinds of emotional blowups, seem to effortlessly bring out the very worst in people. It's probably directly correlated to the fact that you have various family members being asked to come together, when some of them should be kept as far away as possible from one another. Also, people can become possessed by gnarly cases of aggressive perfectionism. These stories from folks that attended weddings that ended up being cancelled make for quite the emotional rollercoaster.

Online marketplaces connect everyone in a fascinating world of supply and demand, where sometimes the supply is old benches from fast food places, uniquely shaped Cheetos, and extremely realistic horror-themed baby dolls. There's not a whole lot of demand for all the weird and bad stuff people try to sell online, but at least it's a spectacle.
