Social media has a steep learning curve for the old. It's a lot of folks using the laughing emoji when sharing sad news, accidentally posting their sordid google searches as their statuses, printing out memes, believing even the most absurd satirical new articles, and speaking in all caps. But we gotta cut them some slack, cause these old people are trying their best on social media.

Unfortunately, many of us have had our encounters with testy landlords that like to play outside the bounds of what's legal when it comes to tenant rights. It's as if they assume that people won't take it upon themselves to review the very laws that exist to protect them from getting totally screwed over. This woman was able to sneak herself into a FB group that's in place for landlords. What she went on to learn was troubling to say the very least. Hopefully the insights she gained from the group can help other people avoid falling prey to being taken advantage of by landlords that decided to abandon their moral compasses. Check out a pro revenge story where a landlord told lies to keep a deposit, and then ended up being reported to the IRS for tax fraud. 

Since the internet's been around we've had irrationally emboldened folks diving into the comments section to drop nuggets of pure, dizzying ignorance. Sometimes, other folks hit their breaking points. When those moments occur, people have a tendency to get absolutely crushed by the power of words. We definitely appreciate the spicy silvertongues that go the extra mile when it comes to being extra creative with their insults. Maybe this series of times that people got KO'ed by words will inspire you to unleash destruction of your own in the next YouTube comments section. 

This guy's Facebook post illustrates just how absurd it is that human beings try to shrug off scientific or historical research with "common sense." He uses a solid chess analogy to drive the point home. 

We live in a world defined by stuff. There's just so much of it all, and sometimes we have so much that we don't know where it should go. We ascribe value to that stuff, whether it be in sentimental, monetary, or in joke form. People end up trying to sell that weird stuff online. Does anyone really want a repurposed couch bicycle or "rare" Dorito? No. Nevertheless, people keep trying to sell their weird and ridiculous junk.

Hm, just a little bit of a gut feeling here, but it feels like there was a definite reason that the bride's mom wasn't told about the surprise proposal at play. Seems like she very well might've done something to mess up the whole operation, because she sounds like she's just a little consumed by her own selfish concerns. It's not often that you witness someone stage a whole fit about their kid's proposal because they weren't made aware of it, but here we are. Perhaps, take a deep breath, mom. 

We love to see this gem making the rounds again. We look back to a time, a strange and surprising time when what appears to be a runaway criminal named Anthony Ackers, up and decides to respond to his own "wanted" ad out in Richland, WA. What ensues is nothing short of a swift emotional rollercoaster, filled to the brim with banter and the inevitable moment when Ackers serves up his own demise. 

Online marketplaces connect everyone in a fascinating world of supply and demand, where sometimes the supply is old benches from fast food places, uniquely shaped Cheetos, and extremely realistic horror-themed baby dolls. There's not a whole lot of demand for all the weird and bad stuff people try to sell online, but at least it's a spectacle.

Sometimes you can find yourself situated in the gig that you grew up thinking you wanted all along, only to come to realize that the job is being proactively ruined by an absolutely terrible boss. A terrible boss will effortlessly stink up a peaceful environment with tidal waves of toxicity and anxiety, and make the rest of the employees that are just trying to get their jobs done feel like their tasks are insurmountable. If anything, it wouldn't hurt to keep these bad boss behaviors in mind for your future gigs. 

What's the use of throwing anything away? If someone finds some dumb junk, they're gonna try selling it online. It's amazing what kinds of things people will try to pass off as collectable these days, but that doesn't stop anyone from trying. Old Taco Bell furniture, unique-looking cheetos and homemade lawnmowers are all at the top of the list of ridiculous junk people try to sell online.

As long as we've had social media apps available to us we've had deceptive fools try to pawn off their bundles of hastily woven lies to people that they never think will call them out. The thing is that when you're trying to lie online, there's a whole bunch of research tools readily available at our disposal to fact check the iffy posts. That being said, these laughable liars got their comeuppance when it was all said and done. 

You never know what kind of crazy offerings you're bound to come across in the vast expanse of Facebook's online marketplace. You've got all kinds of groups that include people trying to sell just about anything they can find lying around the house. What really takes an online sale to the next level is when you get that juicy gossip contextualization. Like the guy selling the ring because their partner was cheating. Check out more weird stuff people tried to sell online over here. 

We're back at it again with a fresh collection of rare insults that are creative as they are absolutely brutal. You've got to give credit where credit is due. Anyone who takes the extra time to whip up an insult that's outside of the box, and unapologetically savage deserves some bonus points. If you're looking for more particularly amazing rare insults we recommend checking these out. 

We're back at it again with a fresh collection of people getting absolutely crushed by words. Sometimes people just nail it with the comeback or the insult to such an extent that there's really no coming back from it. A whole lot of this wreckage could've been avoided if people didn't act a fool to begin with. 

As long as we've had social media we've had people making proper fools of themselves online. There are just so many folks that have an uncanny knack for posting stuff to the rest of the online world that really could've used the second look. Fortunately, we have some folks in the various online communities that are dedicated to serving up these clueless fools extra large servings of reality.
