absurd

For every small thing that can go right, there's about a hundred things that can go wrong. Trampolines get blown away, septic tanks explode, cars drive into lakes, and frisbees get caught in trees like way up there. We know that the world is unpredictable but that doesn't stop us from continuing to try to get things right. That said, bad things just keep happening.

This person gets someone to housesit and feed their pets for a week, then they turn around and make up a bunch of charges for the person? Sounds like the cartoonish demands of an entitled person. And even if paying the utilities was part of the deal, which it wasn't, that number is still way too high. It's impossible to understand what's going on in the heads of entitled folks with audacious demands.

It's hard for many of us to consider spending an entire paycheck on a cake or an ice maker, but when you think of all the money you spend on things that you don't even remember, maybe it's worth it to have a pleasant memory. While these ended up being decent expenses, some people get some extremely bad financial advice that is irredeemable. It'd be nice to have a taste of these absurdly expensive things people witnessed. 

There's no beating around the bush when it comes to spectacular hazards and ominous signs. It's pretty hard to ignore a sign that says "watch your step: open mine shafts" or "radioactive zone" or "step past this line and your mistakes are your own." The creepiest and most sinister signs often mean the most business. It just goes to show that paying attention is usually a good idea.

Sure, everyone likes free stuff, but typically the way to get that free stuff is wait until it's offered. These people went out of their way to demand crap from other people, and oh man are they not gonna get it. Unreasonably entitled individuals are everywhere, from customers, reviewers and business owners to straight up strangers.

In this confusing and unclear world of ours, there are generally more opportunities for us to be technically correct about something than actually factually accurate. That would involve learning. Who wants that when you could just scoop some of that good old wit out of your brain cavity and call it technically accurate and not totally wrong.

It's hard to get inside the head of entitled people and their audacious demands. Who in their right mind thinks they can force their neighbors to buy better Christmas decorations or just give them a car for free? The laughable demands of entitled people are lofty, unreasonable, and often really poorly thought out.

It's not a question that kids are weird and dumb. They'll take multiple bites of fake fruit, lie about objective facts, and cover themselves in house paint for no reason. Everyone knows a few moments that prove the weird dumbness of children, especially when it comes to the stupid things they remember themselves doing. 

There's no pleasing everyone. In fact, people get upset over the dumbest things. Sure, it's a good idea to be polite and not go out of your way to make people feel bad. However, sometimes someone is going to misinterpret something or take something extremely personally, and that's just a part of life. You can be minding your own business eating a slice of pizza and get a stern talking to. There's just a lot of absurd things people get offended by.

People have done stupid things for a long time and it doesn't seem like we're gonna stop anytime soon. History lets us see some of humanity's highlights when it comes to making irreparable mistakes, doing weird garbage, and getting killed in idiotic ways. Here are some history memes to feel smart about as well as some of the great trollings of history.

Family can be a pain. Houseguests can be a pain. But when that houseguest is family who can't stand your hospitality and breaks your family's things, that's a real bad time. Sometimes extended family has a hard time appreciating your effort, like this uncle who couldn't handle a vegan wedding meal. It can get way worse than a torn poster. Here are some unforgivably disrespectful things done by houseguests.

Entitled people with laughable demands can come from anywhere. It can be a boss that wants you to pay them to work, a stranger who wants a steep discount on a lawnmower, or someone who asks for a free turkey but also wants it cooked and delivered. They can get pretty mean, like this entitled mom who got rejected and made threats.

At some unfortunate jobs, your boss doesn't pay attention to your job description, and will make you do whatever you're willing to do. At other jobs, you're basically a punching bag for mindless customers. There's so much a person is willing to take for ten bucks an hour, and there are times when we're compelled to say "screw this, I'm out."

Apparently no election is safe from baseless accusations, mudslinging and questions of voter fraud. The annual election for "Bird of the Year" in New Zealand had a dramatic year and frankly it's refreshing to see people be this hilariously petty over the decision of the best bird. For some other New Zealand drama, here's the time the whole nation was outraged at a single rude family of British tourists. Here are some more random funny tumblr gems to tumblr through.

Hazards abound, and with them creepy signs that make their message clear. Sure it might seem gauche for a sign to literally tell you "lions eat people and you are people" but the real issue is why that sign needs to be there in the first place. Someone was probably being people way too close to the lions. The abundant threats of the world make it necessary to have spooky signs that are too dang scary.

Most homeowner's associations aren't meant to be a big hassle, but sometimes an overzealous member can make their neighbors' lives a living hell of absurd rules about fences and garbage cans. For example, here's an HOA Karen who complained about guide dog training. There's also this bold HOA fighting strategy involving a radio tower.
