Unfortunately, many of us have ended up moving into a promising, new, and humble abode, only to realize that said abode is located terribly closely to a complete waking nightmare of a human being. Or, perhaps what starts off as a seemingly cordial enough relationship between you and a neighbor gives way to them going full entitled mode, and asking you for free access to your high speed internet. You just never know. People are full of surprises. Hopefully these folks' stories about the infamous people in their neighborhoods make you feel a bit better about your gnarliest neighbor situations. 

Hiring managers are really on the frontlines when it comes to catching any risky candidates that might otherwise fool a company into hiring them with a well practiced, entirely fake nice demeanor.

It's those family connections that can end up inviting the laziest and most entitled of folks into a company. 

Weddings have an uncanny knack for hosting all kinds of drama. It could be a natural manifestation of bringing various family members together that should otherwise never find themselves in the same room as one another. So, the role of a wedding planner is an indispensable one. They can singlehandedly maintain the balance in that fragile ecosystem that is a wedding venue, and smoothly steer the ship clear of crashing into total disasters. For some more wedding drama check out this AskReddit thread about the times that wedding industry workers just knew that things weren't going to work out. 

This fun AskReddit thread has people describing their most notable encounters with individuals that showed all signs of having a terribly loose grasp on how the real world works. Some folks really just fall through the cracks. It's on us to either try to help them out when we cross paths with them, or provide the brutal reality check. And hey, you never know if you'll find yourself being the person who doesn't know some bit of common sense that everyone else seems to have figured out. 

We've all had our low points. Those moments when judgment was terribly out of reach, and decisions were made, cringeworthy decisions, that go on to haunt us when we're just trying to catch a restful night's sleep. It's terrible how that happens. Maybe these people's moments of notable cringe will make you feel better about your own moments of profound cringe. 

There are far too many elements present throughout a movie that can possess the audience with all kinds of unrealistic expectations, or just flat out frustration that life certainly ain't like it's portrayed in the movies. Like the whole waking up with no bedhead situation. Or perhaps the frequent examples of entirely unnecessary self-sacrifice. Maybe you'll resonate with some of these. 

Existence is weird. We take it for granted. It's as if we're conditioned from a young age to overlook the more notably mysterious matters of this thing we call life. Some moments are weirder than others. Like, you feel like you witnessed a literal video game glitch, but it's your life. Sometimes, you encounter an experience that defies the very nature of the reality that you occupy. From there, hopefully you can tell some willing listening ears. Otherwise, you can always share your surreal encounter on a thread like the one we have here. 

One of the best parts about watching a movie is being able to temporarily step outside whatever's going on in your own life, to get lost in the lives of the characters that you see on the screen. So, if you end up watching a movie that's plagued by numerous or just one gaping plot hole, it can be quite the frustrating, disorienting experience. Some plot holes are just too nonsensical to overlook. Maybe these people's observations about plot holes they can't get over to this day will resonate with you. 

There are plenty of folks out there who have made nothing less of an art form out of donning different masks for different settings, with the ultimate purpose being to impress/manipulate those around them. It can get to be a pretty messed up situation. With that being said, this AskReddit thread has folks sharing the craziest, coolest things they were able to pull off just by pretending to fit in. 

There are whole lot of hopelessly clueless human beings out there. Some folks are certainly more lost than others. You might find yourself in the middle of a conversation with someone who has seemingly fallen through the cracks on all matters of common sense. If so, you might just find yourself inspired to whip out one of these clever euphemisms to get that point across. 

Recruiters are in the positions that they are because they've been professionally trained to sift through the patches of candidates that are doing whatever they can to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through vivid descriptions of their professional exploits, and occasional fabrications to make their lives seem that much grander. So, if you find yourself realizing that you've been employing some of the deceptive resume tactics present in this AskReddit thread, it might be time to rethink the strategy. 

Existence is quite bizarre. Sometimes we can end up taking that for granted, and then suddenly, life throws us a reality-shattering curveball that leaves us unable to figure out what happened no matter how much analysis and logic are applied to the strange event. This fun and disorienting AskReddit thread takes us down a lightly unsettling rabbit hole, where people share their most unforgettable "glitch in the matrix" moments. 

It's far too easy to take for granted just how strangely spelled some of the words in the English language are. The weird spellings themselves can end up making for quite the hassle for when it comes time to actually say the words out loud. Seriously though, have we just accepted that desert and dessert are actually spelled wrong? 

Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job knows that the gig comes with all kinds of emotional hardships that fall well outside the pay grade. You could be having a perfectly peaceful day, maybe even somehow in a good mood as you're stocking shelves, and then boom, a Karen walks in. A Karen who has taken it upon herself to completely upend your day with all kinds of nasty, entitled, toxic nonsense. Hopefully none of these infamous incidents from retail workers ring any bells for you. 

Some baby names are far worse than others. You might've encountered a baby name out in the wild that left you mystified, troubled, helplessly confused. It's as if the parents had a terrible lapse in judgement, and for whatever reason decided to curse their poor kid with a name that would go on to haunt them into their later years. Hopefully none of these ring a bell. For a similar AskReddit thread check out some dumb baby names that parents (somehow) had to be talked out of. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about people's craziest "you don't see that every day" moments. Life has a funny way of surprising us just when we're settling into our respective routines. As you get older and grow more accustomed to being endlessly surprised by whatever life decides to throw your way on a given day, you pretty much can just settle on into a philosophy of expecting the unexpected.
