stupid

It's like calling the teacher "Mom" all over again.

Tinder has proven itself to be a pretty strange place. Honestly, there's no way of knowing what you're going to get. Here's what people have hauled up from a sea that promised "a whole bunch of other fish." For more awkward dating moments, here are some more from the world of Tinder.

Life is a series of successes and failures. Sometimes our failures are obvious, and they hurt. Other times they need to be pointed out to us. Those failures are the ones that make us feel the dumbest. If you want to see more people who tried hard and failed harder, then here ya go.

It could be poor reading comprehension, gullibility, or just a failure to check sources, but many people have a problem with understanding satire. Even when it's not subtle, some folks really just miss the point of satire, or don't want to get it. Sometimes it's funny to see someone react with outrage over a fake story about NASA shooting a chimp into the sun. Other times it's just kind of pitiful, like when someone uses a joke as a source in an actual article.

This is a grade a troll. 

Some people grow out of it, some don't. Children are stupid idiots. Sure, they're just learning everything about the world for the first time, but hot damn are they dumb as rocks for a while there. We were dumb too. We're still dumb, but we can do long division and drive, so that's pretty good. 

It's a good reminder that most people are decent most of the time. Most people are kind, friendly, and would go out of their way to help a stranger. Then there's these moments. The trashy moments. The times when people decided to act out of selfishness, greed and complete disregard for the people around them. Wild.

If you thought living a completely average, normal life could keep people from mocking you, you would be dead wrong. It's enough to make anyone feel self conscious. So if you're a fan of chili's, jeans and ranch, these may come as a personal attack. 

These instances might remind you that you're actually doing pretty well for yourself in the whole brain department. Hot damn, it's like life is a race to see who can do the dumbest thing ever. We absolutely love it. And boy people are dumb a lot.

These are either just plain lazy or someone was clearly NOT ready for their job. Maybe they got cold feet, overwhelmed, who knows. 

You really hope this shit is real. It would take a herculean amount of willful ignorance not to notice that your significant other is leaving the house every time they need to use the bathroom, but to be fair, some couples are actually really, really terrible at communication. For those of you who like toilet stories and completely lack class, here's a hilarious airplane bathroom story.

These people need life to give them a damn break like nobody's business. 

Now this is our kind of politics. Here's the full BBC News story, but the title pretty much says it all. A regional assembly in Kenya's Homa Bay had to take a 10 minute break due to a particularly awful trouser-cloud someone laid in the chamber. Apparently there was a conversation over blame and an ensuing scramble to find some kind of air freshener, but the debate-stopping fart dissipated enough after a while for business to continue. We've read about farts shutting down job sites, but a fart that halt local government is a new high.
