"The Price is Right" has a strong place in our hearts, probably since it's been what we watched when we were home sick our entire lives. Anyway here are two sadness-inducing overbids that were so close that it feels unfair.
A combination of intriguing coincidences and also a whole lot of horrible crap happening on the same day or even at the same moment. For fans of chance, here are some incredibly unlikely moments that went against all odds. For fans of terrible crap happening, here are times misfortune threw folks for a loop.
There's a lot of ways things can go wrong. Seriously, life has an almost unlimited supply of unfortunate times life got derailed by chaos. Engines start on fire, tanks of paint burst, pizzas get burned, and children cry. We're all just trying to get through the day, but sometimes the day has moments that give us grief.
We're all just trying to get through the day without having our everyday lives derailed by chaos. Thankfully for most of us, we do that. For a select few, unfortunate moments give people a bad time. It's sort of cathartic to see just how every little thing can go bad, and you can count your lucky stars that a day went by without some horrible crap happening.
Almost everyone has that moment when they're thinking about a time years ago someone asked them some obviously pointed question like "are you good at back rubs?" or "do you want to wash your pants at my house?" All you can really do is feel bad about not realizing it and move on. Here are some earth-shakingly obvious hints that guys missed. To be fair, sometimes "obvious hints" end up not being hints at all.
It was the world championship road race in Yorkshire. German Dario Gomez Becerra from Colombia had a catastrophic bike failure that left him on the side of the road. He expected to get picked up and...didn't. And the camera guy just followed him while the announcers talked about how sad it as. It's kinda hard to watch. You just want to give the guy a hug and say it's gonna be okay.
Overall, it's good that we have signs like these, because it means someone is looking out for you. That said, such a casual reminder of your own mortality can seem a little off-putting, especially when spooky signs do too good a job. Some could even argue that some scary signs are scarier than they have to be.
We've all been woo'd by a good commercial at some point in our lives. Especially when you're a kid, Nerf really makes it look like having a sweet blaster will make you the coolest kid on the street. We've all gone crazy at some point for those ads for laser tag games and frozen drink makers, and many of us never learn and keep making stupid purchases far into our adult years. That said, this isn't always our fault, sometimes products are straight up misleading and manipulative.
Old people Facebook is just one of those things you get or don't. With so many old people trying to navigate a social media site they don't fully grasp, there are funny, charming and awkward moments to be had. So here comes some improper internet etiquette, oversharing and general weirdness from old people online.
Here are some stories of shattered bones, huge scars, emergency room visits and missed life events due to mundane moments of idiocy. All these folks did was misstep, exert themselves too hard, forget to stretch, forget about their surroundings and what have you. People injure themselves in some incredibly dumb ways. You'd be amazed at what a poorly timed sneeze can do to you.
We've all had really rough jobs, and while ruminating on your annoying job can suck, some well placed work memes can be cathartic. Whether it's some customer service role where we have to deal with Karens having freak-outs, incompetent bosses or straight up boring jobs where you have nothing to do. The grind can lead to a sort of existential dread and a cycle that never seems to end. But don't worry, there are other jobs out there, and more often then not, the total BS you have to deal with will lead you to bigger and better things. Anyway, here's some work memes for the grind.
On one hand, having to call customer service, especially for a telecommunications company, can be a time wasting slog. On the other hand, some customers just call customer service for an opportunity to scream at someone. In this case, this woman would rather scream and demand a 500 MB plan rather than actually listen, so things didn't exactly end in her favor.
One of the problems with being a dog is that you have to explore with your face. Sometimes when dogs root around they try to eat bees or get stung by them. Like people, dogs can have responses to bee venom that can be mild to severe, but with proper treatment they just swell up for a while and end up fine. Anyway, for more dogs who've gotten themselves into uncomfortable situations, here are some stuck dogs who need a hand.
