Just cause that kid's playing with a Barbie doesn't mean that they're not an absolute force to be reckoned with, when it comes to a little scrap on the playground. This Tumblr thread shines a welcomed light on the importance of not being a presumptuous fool, who assumes that a kid isn't tough as nails, because of their gender or what toys they choose to play with.
Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about how Tom Clancy's brain freaked out the US military.
Man, what compels a person to go through all the trouble to win a dang auction and then refuse to pay up? Just not cool, man. Well, this auction winner ended up learning their lesson the hard way. Well played on the part of the person who went ahead and won all those other auctions. A nice mix of petty and pro revenge if we do say so ourselves!
Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the times that egotistical people got reminded that they "have no power here." Well, the thread isn't all egomaniacs. Sometimes, it's a case of someone literally not having power. Like the homie that couldn't pay his electricity bill because he couldn't access the internet he needed to get the job done. It can be a deeply satisfying experience to watch someone who was power tripping all over the place get put in necessary check.
Many jobs require their employees to be on deck at irregular or unscheduled times, which can get a little hairy if they're not being paid for it. Many bosses know that this isn't exactly fair so they'll cut their employees some slack here and there when they know the schedule is weird. This manager didn't, so he got hit with the classic, much like this other employee who derailed their incompetent boss by working their scheduled hours.
Man, nothing is worse than realizing you've ended up sharing a roof with a completely terrible roommate. In this case, we've got a horribly smug roommate who simply refused to pay their rent. Well, they clearly didn't anticipate the fallout that'd eventually ensue back in court. Hopefully they learned their lesson, and won't go and try to pull this ridiculous stunt again.
Check out some more juicy roommate drama with this guy who outwitted his roommate by using the Pavlovian method.
In what is hopefully the last bit of Bee Movie meme-ing this year, a freshman at Baylor University wrote the script to Bee Movie by hand for his girlfriend as some sort of Christmas gift. Who says romance isn't dead ironic?
Conner Fastenau spent three hours, three human hours, 180-EARTH MINUTES, transcribing the 2007 script to Bee Movie, the film about a talking bee that Jerry Seinfeld made for some reason, as sign of his romantic attraction for an adult human woman. She reportedly "got a good laugh," so it was "worth it," Fastenau told Buzzfeed.
Bee Movie has been the subject of a strange resurgence of late. Earlier this year, someone put the script to Bee Movie on a shirt in really small print, and just last month, a video that featured all of Bee Movie except every time someone said "bee" the playback sped up went viral. The world continues to be in awe not only of Bee Movie's very existence, but also ongoing cultural relevance.
We've seen our fair share of bosses that never should've been put in their places of power in the first place. With that being said, it's nothing short of deeply satisfying to see a boss show the rest of the world why they were given the reins like they were. This boss pulled off some straight up tech support magic, and left everyone else in speechless awe. Pretty awesome that she was able to extract that number in under 8 minutes. You don't even need to know what that means to appreciate the timely manner with which she pulled it off.
Man, this boss was clearly blind to their own ignorant toxicity. If you're going to hire someone and pay them double the person that is training the new person, there is clearly a monstrous hole in your logic. And then for the employee to take that well warranted concern to their boss, and have it thrown right back in their face? Get out of there with that. Fortunately, it sounds like inconsiderate boss learned their lesson.
Awesome to see someone on Adam Savage's stature proactively work to destigmatize hearing loss. Way too many people out there resist getting the help they need because of the dang negative stereotype.
Just spare yourself the embarrassment of walking out empty handed and with your tail between your legs.
Oh boy, this tenant literally didn't give up until the slimy landlord saw life as they knew it upended. This just goes to show that knowing your tenant rights can be an absolute game-changer when it comes to dealing with landlords that are trying to pull a fast one on you. Unfortunately, that's not all too of an uncommon occurrence. For more juicy landlord drama check out the time a landlord refused to fix some broken windows, and then it ended up costing him thousands of dollars.
There's nothing that melts our hearts quite like a scammer getting their time wasted, after trying to waste someone else's time (and money). This particular scammer got taken on the kind of journey that we could only hope taught him a necessary lesson. And that lesson is to NOT be a scammer. They are the bane of everyone's existence.
