Sad

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.

These wholesome pure feels pull on the heart strings. This guy's story starts in on when he lost his parents as a 10-year-old, to a nasty drunk driver. From there, he was taken in by his uncle, and grew up battling a terrible sadness. 

Fast forward to when he's 22-years-old, and still hasn't had a relationship with his girl, until his uncle takes him to a sandwich shop after he loses his job; and ends up meeting the love of his life in a chance encounter. His uncle plays quite the wingman, and even calls the girl on his behalf to get things in motion. This is one of those stories that you read nervously, with hope that nothing goes south, and amazingly...nothing does! 

We're all just trying to get through the day with no major hiccups. It doesn't even have to be a great day! Most of us will be satisfied with a completely normal day. That's because we know there are those ridiculously bad unfortunate moments that give us trouble looming around every corner. Seriously, no news is good news.

Doctors, Nurses, certified nursing assistants, pharmacists, and anyone even  tangentially related to medicine constantly have to talk to people who have no basic understanding of how their own body works. Patients will do stupid things, lie, and even deny the most WTF stuff. It's kind of sad to think about where we'd be without medical expertise, and it's flabbergasting to see what people think is healthy behavior.

Gambling addictions are real, and casinos make it incredibly easy for people to lose everything, so naturally the people who work there have seen some incredibly not right shit. As fun as gambling can be, it's important to remember that you are not special, luck is fake, and casinos aren't your friend. That said, to ensure the world isn't completely bleak, here are some funny times people got moderately lucky and here are some other times really unlikely stuff happened against all odds.

We all just want to get through a regular, uneventful day, but sometimes life makes things complicated. Sometimes even small things, like dropping a pan of kebabs, can be the most defeating feeling you've had in months. Sometimes it's something bigger, like accidentally overloading a semi-truck and destroying it. These things are all disappointing, but at least they don't happen to you every day,

This guy's honestly better off. The story goes that he was working delivery for DoorDash, and ended up catching his now ex-girlfriend in the middle of hooking up with her "handsome co-worker." I mean, honestly him catching her like that; he really just dodged a bullet. Good riddance! 

Cops have some interesting stories, like times they've enforced stupid laws just because someone was being a real A-hole. Day-to-day,  the cops walk in on some pretty wild situations, and since naturally no one wants to be arrested, they hear some pretty dumb excuses. Here are some surprising times a weird excuse actually turned out to be the real deal; from police themselves and people who were stopped.

That's kind of what uncles are for, right? When this guy wasn't paying attention to what his own kid was watching, and got a warning from the uncle, he said "just do it" and the rest is history. It's just a shame that the kids got the worst end of the stick here. Here's a link to Scientifically Accurate Barney by the way.

For all the terribly inconvenient calls we've had with cable and internet providers, it's encouraging to see a person go the extra mile to effectively help someone who needs it. You hope your customer service rep is like this. Just kinda feels nice to see some interpersonal understanding, in a wholesome sort of way.

There's a lot in a name. Some stuff that should be taken more seriously like deep vein thrombosis or hurricane evacuation areas gets bogged down under a name more pleasant than it should be. Other things like particular food and games would sound less dangerous if the name was more accurate. Other stuff, particularly urinal cakes, could just use a much more fun update.

Someone on AskReddit asked people to share the things they don't talk about in their family. The resulting stories are pretty grim. We recommend buckling up and bracing yourself. 

There are a lot of embarrassing spellers out there. We get it, words are hard. No, really. Big words are annoying. Plus, if you've only heard figures of speech without reading them, you're bound to mess up every once in a while. That said, these are ridiculous and stupid and might make you angry.
