ridiculous

This is why we cherish Tumblr. We have phenomenal human beings that take things to the furthest extent: like why dwarves have the most, undeniable, impressive beards that any world has ever seen. If you enjoyed this Tumblr thread check out another one about how humans are especially weird when it comes to animation. 

"No worries, I'm not crazy like your ex." Run, run for the hills! This guy dodged a big bullet with this Tinder match. Brace yourself for unhealthy levels of tireless pushiness, cringe, and anger. Like, she seems mad at something more than half the time. Yikes. 

Ah yes, leave it to the brilliant minds of Tumblr to take us down a rabbit hole about how plants can genuinely wage war against the rest of the world. In this case, we're talking about the kudzu. The kudzu plants would fit right into a horror novel. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the still-on submarines. 

They see the worst in the world while staying blind to anything real about themselves. 

Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job will tell you that the gig is already hard enough without the Karens and other rude folks of the world going out of their way to make the day that much worse. This particular jerk sounds like he was going to keep being a toxic, belligerent hassle until someone served him up the reality check he needed. Oh boy, did everything come undone for this guy after that moment. 

People that take the time and energy to leave fake bad reviews are the absolute worst. Just picturing someone putting in the extra effort to try and make someone else's life more miserable can get the blood boiling. Fortunately, this restaurant owner handled the situation in glorious fashion. 

Humble brags are the bane of our collective existence. Nothing quite grinds one's gears like having to bear witness to someone proclaiming from their high horse that they have committed an act of profound, soul-stirring beauty. It's like, we get it...you're a good person. Sometimes, the best way to spread that charitable kindness is to do so from a place of humbleness. 

As long as Tinder's around we'll have an endless supply of cringe-packed pickup lines. 

Interacting with a dysfunctional institution is an interesting thing. To see something so big not work correctly is a sight to behold. Whether it's working at a place that inspires a "screw this i'm out" moment, or somewhere that's so bad up front that you get a real red flag interview, or just being a customer at a place so unprofessional it's shocking, we can pretty safely assume that it's better to spend your time in businesses that actually function.

The feedback on whether or not it was reasonable for this bride to complain on Facebook about her wedding gift, seems to be pretty split up. Some folks feel like there were countless other more meaningful, even cheaper gifts that the bride's friend could've given her on her big day. Others feel like this was a gross display of indifference to a friend's momentous occasion. You be the judge. 

You've got to love an AskReddit thread that pays homage to those basic skills that people are for whatever reason, plain old terrible at. It's funny how life works out like that. Sometimes, we just end up falling through the cracks when it comes to picking up tidbits of common knowledge that we should really have known in the first place. Some people's brains just operate at a different frequency, where they might have no idea how to write in a legible manner, no matter how hard they tried and were pushed to do so throughout their schooling. It ain't nothing to be ashamed of. Or, perhaps you're someone who has an impossibly hard time maintaining the flow of a conversation on the phone.

I mean, now more than ever we're so dang conditioned to communicate through texts, Snapchats, memes, etc. that when it actually comes time to formulate some words, and comprehensible sentences in a dialogue, your mind can end up going helplessly blank. Or, maybe you're one of those people who can't whistle to save your life. Whistling's hard, and shout out to the people in this world that can manage to whistle a tune. While others, can't even get the thing going in the first place.

An AskReddit thread like this can serve as a powerful, humbling, if not inviting reminder that you're not alone in your pursuit toward picking up those life skills and knowledge that you know you should probably know, but just can't quite seem to get. Maybe you have friends and family that have lovingly tried to help you put the pieces together along the way. Hopefully, not the opposite, where you're faced with fielding banter and roasts from people that love to make a mockery of you not quite being able to get there.

The overriding point is that patience is key, and above all else, who really cares at the end of the day if you can't whistle or write out a letter/card that other people will be able to read? The truth is, nobody really cares. Maybe for a hot second they'll get hung up on it, have a good laugh, and give you a nice old fashioned hard time. But then, then you move onward, and maybe you find in yourself a newfound desire to take the time to actually master the very thing that up until this point has escaped your attention. That can certainly be a proactive, productive way to lead a life. The very things that can initially give us the most trouble, can somehow evolve to be our special skills later on down the road. It's like, life loves to test you, throw you off your rhythm for a sec, and ultimately see whether or not you're going to accept the challenge. Challenges can be fun. There's always a nice little dopamine rush waiting at the end of mastering that thing that gave you so much trouble at the onset. So, maybe this thread will give you new inspiration, or at the very least, it'll make you feel better about those skills you're currently lacking.

There's something spectacular about witnessing the unadulterated audacity of absurd entitled people. Whether it's a bridezilla trying to bully a wedding photographer into working for free, a landlord who's baffled why they have to provide their tenants with working faucets, or just some guy who's trying to buy a brand new TV with a wallet full of monopoly money, it never seems to get old. Entitled people with their laughable boldness keep finding new ways to demand ridiculous crap.

There are a lot of undiscovered witty comedic geniuses (trolls) lurking in that YouTube comments section. 

Oh boy, we've got a fresh collection of people taking ridiculous petty revenges on one another. Some folks just refuse to let other people's unconscious behavior roll off their back, and instead they proceed to hatch masterful, crazy petty revenges. These people certainly held nothing back. 

Check out another juicy petty revenge tale with this sister who always stole her sibling's food, so the sibling took revenge at the graduation.

If you thought dealing with a telecom company under normal circumstances was a hassle, you've gotta hand it to this phone representative who would only speak to the account holder no matter the reality of the situation. Sometimes company reps get too caught up in their own BS, like this company that tried selling printing supplies to a printing company.

We're all prone to moments of failure that came out of nothing but the purest of intentions. It'd sure be nice if our lofty expectations always lined up with reality, but alas, we're not so lucky. The universe just loves to humble us right when our egos are getting nice and inflated.
