The car didn't have a ton of life remaining, but this guy made sure his boss knew he was getting a bad deal. We've had bad bosses before, so it's cathartic to see incompetent managers get the short end like this boss who stupidly ordered a contractor to go on call and ended up with a $10,000 invoice or this guy who hired a thief as his replacement.

Musician Jason Isbell took to twitter to ask people about the most devastating thing they've ever spilled in their car. When you think about it, a car is one of the most stressful places to spill something, and should be chalked up as one of life's more disappointing moments. Everything in a car is usually covered in fabric, you're forced to sit in it, and if it's something that smells, good luck sitting in a tin can filled with old burger or whatever.

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.

We're not sure why you'd want to fail a driving test. Maybe you're afraid of the scary things you could see while driving at night.

Calling the cops on your own blood, hot damn! On the one hand, she was completely abused the offer to use his car, and used it longer than he offered. But also, did she know she'd get arrested if she didn't give it back? Seems kind of like a waste of police resources. Isn't there a way to solve issues among your own family without getting the police involved?  This guy asked the internet if he was a jerk for disowned his sister for marrying his childhood bully.

The dealership was ready to intervene on this idiotic BS. 

Strange things happen when you're driving at night. Creepy things. Your eyes start playing tricks on you, and everything starts looking like a threat. With the added bonus of random crap literally jumping out at you from nowhere like deer and loose tires, many pants have been soiled while driving down the highway at 3 AM.

Ah, the old days. Back when life was simple. You could take candy from strangers, no one wore seatbelts and teachers could hit kids. Why did things ever change.

Thank goodness for reflexes. These videos would look a whole lot different if not for some quick thinking or just straight up luck. Honestly, most of these are just luck.
