Karen totally had it out for this nurse and made every effort she could to give them a hard time, but they didn't give up. In the end it was Karen who had to face the music. For another instance of a disruptive workplace Karen, here's a Karen who threw away an expensive cake and inspired the office to fight back.

People from everywhere can come together even when they don't know each other, and are down to help complete strangers in need. It's not that hard to make people's day, as evidenced by this Tumblr thread about a chaotic good barista.

Harvey's Supermarket in Albany, Ga. ended up being the unexpected, though perfect setting for two lovebirds to tie the knot. Mary and Larry Tinson reunited at Harvey's Supermarket where they originally met four years ago on Thanksgiving when they were looking for last-minute recipe additions, to get married. Congrats to these two!

The life of a barista is a weird one. When every customer you have is someone who hasn't had their first coffee of the day, there's no knowing what kind of people can lumber in. Some take on the challenge and become a barista that's the living definition of chaotic good. Others just stand in awe and watch a 46-year-old woman drink 8 Red Bulls worth of caffeine in a single swig.

Just about anyone who lived through the mid-2000s remembers the explosive shenanigans of the Mythbusters. They built stuff, dropped stuff, shot stuff, and blew stuff up for science. Btw, here's an amazing tumblr story about the fastest manmade object ever. It was a manhole cover. Amazingly with the Mythbusters and all their explosions, there wasn't too much private property damage. Or so we thought. This tumblr thread explains some of the extra collateral damage the Mythbusters achieved. And also, we dearly miss Grant.

There's no solution more compelling than those lazy "it's not stupid if it works" moments, even if they're technically against the rules. A low budget or DIY solution might make a judge mad, but you can't say that your solution wasn't effective. For another story of a stroke of lazy genius, here's a guy who needed a permit to build a garage so he just bought a van.

Getting used to a new work dynamic can be stressful, and this new employee decided that they wouldn't be bullied into participating in free donut day. Instead of just blowing the thing off, they thought to make their point more clear in the form of middle finger donuts. For some more office shenanigans, here's an employee who annoyed their coworker with plants.

This has the makings of the next great American horror novel. 

There's a tradition in the U.S. navy that no submarine is lost at sea, and every Christmas a broadcast is sent out to all the crews of those subs still on duty. Naturally, tumblr took it and made it into a whole ghost ship thing, which is somehow macabre but also heartwarming. Why not, people see some unexplained stuff at sea. For a totally classic navy story, here's a Navy operations officer who pulled the laziest move ever.
