Is offending someone's grandma worse than eating soup the noxious soup she made out of rotten chicken, soy sauce and boiled eggs? For some people it was. It's actually amazing what kind of food atrocities some people will put themselves through to save face. It's harrowing, in a gross sort of way.

If you think you're having a bad day, there's still a pretty good chance you didn't lose a speed boat on the freeway. Misfortune gets the best of people all the time. Seeing it happen can put things in perspective, it can be somewhat therapeutic, or it can be simply intriguing to see all the things that can go wrong.
@Jdesmondharris asked twitter users what regular life skills they totally suck at. We know from just looking around that tons of people are crap at parking, but some adults freely admit to still being bad at tying their shoes. Sure, you don't need to be able to tie your shoes to understand a nuclear reactor, but it would probably put your coworkers on edge to hear about it.
If you didn't have faith in yourself at work, fear not, because someone out there is screwing up more than you. And it's not just one person screwing up. There are oodles of folks not doing their one job, and the results are consistent and abundant. The world is just bursting with dumb and weird design fails. This is just some of them.
We've seen petty onion-based arguments with mother-in-laws, but this is a whole 'nother level. In this advice column, a woman was suspicious that her mother in law was trying to poison her. Prudence said she should get her husband to switch plates at a family function and see if the mother in law had any objections. The following-up details how he didn't believe her, so she switched the food anyway, and while it was confirmed that the mother-in-law had it out for her, the plan didn't make her husband believe her. If your mother-in-law is crazy enough to be a serial poisoner, maybe you should be wary of your husband as well.
Life is big and full of unforseen circumstances, so you're bound to see some unfortunate moments that could've gone better. Whether it's a boat getting grounded, someone dropping their phone from a rollercoaster, or just a bullfrog stealing a cat's dinner, life will serve up every one of us some hard times. Is it cathartic and somewhat entertaining to see what other people have to go through? Kinda, yeah.
It's good to remember that most people in this world are thoughtful and kind. That said, there is a select few who, at the right times, will make some of the most selfish and antisocial decisions a person could make. The world has its moments of extreme trashy behavior. People will steal dogs, leave dirty diapers on restaurant tables, key strangers' cars, and a whole lot more. Most people know not to do this kind of stuff.
Sometimes the best thing to do is just turn around and walk away. We've heard from people who have been caught doing weird stuff, so now it's time to hear from the other side. People manage to accidentally barrel into some weird and awkward crap a lot. At a certain point all you can do is just turn around on the spot and never mention it again. Or, I guess, laugh at them.
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.
Cursed Images run the gammut of totally creepy, to strange and sometimes in a way, funny. There's a pantry of cursed food and an imposing amount of cursed toilets. They mostly air on the side of situations you'd rather not find yourself in. These ones are on the darker, creepier, and scary side. So buckle up for some no-context spooky weirdness.
When it's done well, taxidermy can make an animal look like a fierce and dignified trophy, or even an accurate and fascinating tool to teach biology. But when it's done this way, it's probably some of the creepiest crap you'll see all day. Bad taxidermy really reminds you that you're looking at an animal someone tried to stuff full of preservatives. And the eyes. Dear god, the eyes.
If you think your day isn't going great, then it may be a good time to remind yourself that it could be worse. Chances are, you didn't lose a boat on the freeway today, or get hit with a full can of paint. Whether you find it cathartic or just funny, here are some times things just didn't go right. For more, here are someimpressive moments of misfortune and failure.
Most people are basically decent. Almost all of us try really hard to be respectful to our family, friends, and even complete strangers. There's a general understanding that it's not good to inconvenience other people or make their lives harder. For one reason another, there are times when that it completely lost on some of us. The result is people being huge A-holes to the point where someone's trashiness is its own spectacle. These are some of those times. For more, check out these moments of extreme trashiness to max out your garbage-ometer.
In recent years there's been a campaign to make bars less predatory by employing code language like asking for an "angel shot." The idea is that it's a discrete way to get the bar staff to get a patron out of a potentially dangerous situation. The idea is generally thought of as a tool for creeped-out women to get away from men, but occasionally the reverse will happen.
