yikes

GIF thanks for family, and friends and the fact that you don't have a vat of oil on fire near your home because you thought you could flash fry a turkey

Remember being an emo tween/teenager? Unfortunately, we do too. Listening to sad songs on repeat. Thinking we our first school relationships were "forever." Posting attention-seeking messages to social media, hoping someone notice all the pain. While the depression was often very real, there's a painfully cringey- and amusing - aspect to people who wear their hearts on their sleeve on the internet. Don't believe us? Scroll down and brace yourself for some serious discomfort.

There's such a thing as blissful ignorance, but we're pretty sure these people aren't it. We do feel sort of bad for them, but at the same time, they provide us with a lot of entertainment, and they kind of make us feel better about our own intellect...

Who knew that unloading $35 worth of Victoria's Secret gear could result in such a roller coaster ride? Certainly not this poor soul. This Facebook seller thought she had a buyer - and then the cheap college student basically admitted she'd rather go out with her friends than pick up the clothes - just after asking that the seller offer her a payment plan. We understand it's tough to to pay your way through school, but this is clearly a case of shitty priorities than anything else. The frustrated seller seemed to agree, and took the opportunity to sarcastically offer to give the college princess the clothing for free. Unfortunately, stupid people don't really pick up on sarcasm, and things really devolve from there. 

One of our favorite pastimes is admiring the cringe explosion that is old people using social media. Twitter user @dogwithablog_69 has made all of this a lot easier with this Twitter thread of the elderly and technologically ignorant completely abusing Facebook's cheerful status banners. The collection is impressive, a very worthwhile way of getting your Monday procrasturbation on. 

Freddie Mercury was correct in Bohemian Rhapsody when he said that "nothing really matters," because let's face it, life is meaningless and corporations have completely taken over our lives. So if for some strange reason you're in the mood to be reminded of the dystopian hell we live in, scroll down!

Look, we can't all be excellent cooks, and that's okay. What matters is that these people tried. And for those of us who are really just not culinarily gifted no matter how hard we try, there's always Postmates!

It's no surprise that many professions cut corners and do some sketchy shit to make an extra buck or save themselves a hassle. Many businesses claim their wares are homemade when they're actually mass-produced, or in food, pre-prepared and frozen. Some places commit highway robbery by upcharging at a serious margin. These are some pretty widely accepted (albeit unfortunate) truths. But u/CircleBox2, in the name of demystification, asked redditors to share the darkest secrets from their industries. And some of them are shadier than we expected.
