It's a terrible day to have eyes, folks. We can easily forget that the world is filled to the brim with cringeworthy sights that have an uncanny knack for making our insides squirm, if we unfortunately happen to see them. That being said, there's always been a strange element with cringeworthy images, in that it's hard to look away from them!
Awkward
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck stop and interstate employees' most bizarre stories from their days on the job. It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that those long, winding, dark roads are filled to the brim with all kinds of unexpected characters. Truck stop employees can really be put through the rounder. As will happen in these kinds of threads, we've got plenty of accounts from people that didn't work at truck stops, but were just passing through. That story about the mayfly hatch madness is something else.
The real question here is how Karen managed to figure out that this church manager's followers were in the adult film industry? Karen did some serious digging on that profile before she broke out the holier-than-thou BS. Big ups to the church manager for the way he handled this. Looks like Karen will have to take it up with the dude upstairs.
The world is filled to the brim with choosing beggars and their unyielding, wildly irrational series of demands. These folks will come out of left field, and not even bother asking for a discount; no, they'll just ask for that car or new computer or painting for free. And then, then, free might not even be cheap enough. We're not sure when the world's choosing beggars will ever give it a rest, but until then we have these moments of gross entitlement to shake our heads at.
Tinder will always be the place for people to dispense the cheesiest, most shameless, and bold pickup lines that they have readily available at their disposal. Every now and again it seems like folks actually take the app seriously and get somewhere with their matches. More often than not though it's just a ridiculous place to try and get some laughs.
Check out some more bellyflops, wins, and plain awkward moments from Tinder over here.
Sometimes we're not so good at making our intentions clear. Awkward moments happen, but that doesn't make it much easier to forgive ourselves for walking into a Subway and confidently asking for a Meatlab FruitLoop. For some more funny stuff, here are funny tweets to give tat day a boost.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the worst dates that people have ever been on. The dating world is filled with unexpected moments of cringe, and those terribly awkward moments when one finds themselves across the table from someone that managed to hide all their red flags successfully until the first in person conversation started up.
The look on the mother-in-law's face must've been priceless. Yes, this woman's story of secretly understanding her mother-in-law's native language, and ultimately accidentally making that known to the rest of the family is pure gold. I think the pure shock value in letting the mother-in-law know that she could understand her all along makes all that trash talk worth it.
While this husband's birthday surprise absolutely erred on the side of fail, it seems like there was a bit more at play than just the surprise for these two lovebirds. Sounds like tensions were already rising for the two, and that him "forgetting" his wife's birthday was the straw that broke the camel's back. Fortunately, the situation gets calmed down, and it sounds like the two are working on ironing out their struggles.
This guy cannot be for real. There's no way.
Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the most uncomfortable questions to ask people. These might come in handy the next time you find yourself in a conversation you want no part of, and feel like having some fun by making things as awkward as possible.
