This dude rang in 2024 with a hilarious mistake that quickly went viral. It's the new year once again, and people rang in 2024 with parties and gatherings. People love to get dressed to the nines for this holiday. Lots of people gather at fancy event spaces or at friends' homes to count down to the ball drop. Even if you watch the ball drop on TV from the comfort of your couch, it still feels like a big party since numerous celebs and musicians all join the festivities. This guy opted to dress…

Renting a house from a third party has benefits and drawbacks. Of course, maintenance is one of the apparent benefits, but no matter how lovely or cozy the apartment is, the drawbacks, depending on how severe they are, can make or break a transaction. In the story below, OP is working at the job of his dreams. His employer has ensured that he would be as comfortable as possible in his new role by arranging for the necessary accommodations beforehand. Theoretically, everything could not have gon…

As every retail employee knows, shoppers change their persona when they walk into a store. Nobody knows how or why, but even the most benevolent people can transform into feral Karens as soon as they walk in front of a store cashier, pillaging the aisles like there's no tomorrow.

If you already know you're going to quit , you may as well do it in style. Imagine that your boss suddenly raced away from the building after quitting. The office would never stop talking about it! Whenever times get tough, people will joke about the time that the manager fled the building. People always talk about their dreams, but that guy put his money where his mouth was and executed a perfect final day . When people are laid off, it's often done in the early morning or outside of normal wo…

This form of revenge was not only petty, but it was also knotty. Sometimes, when you're in a public performance setting like a movie theater or a play, people are unintentionally disruptive and annoying in a way that can ruin the whole experience for others. We know this phenomenon all too well, from the folks who text after they have been told to silence their cell phones to the people who have absolutely no concept of personal space. Like it or not, there are unspoken rules of how to behave i…

It's funny how, as kids, we think that adults are the best at everything. They are free to do as they please, whenever they please, and with whoever they like. They are free to live their lives as they see fit with no one directing them what to do or how to do it. However, that is completely untrue. It's fascinating to notice that, no matter how passionately we remember and want it, that innocent feeling of freedom we so vividly recall from childhood has faded and disappeared and is unlikely ev…

Long gone are the days I went to summer camp, but I always enjoy a good story about camp counselors vs camp attendees. In this case, OP was in an IT course in a Balkan country, and they got an offer to go to a summer sports camp. OP describes the adventure as ‘fun’ even though there were quite a few things that were a bit ‘off’ about the camp itself. Still, when you are young, you know how to ignore red flags and just have fun. One of the bigger issues was the curfew… or rather, the lack of lig…

These chefs and waiters have the patience of saints. They've encountered some truly bizarre customer requests, and they're sharing the strangest of them with the r/AskReddit community. When you go out to eat and pay for a nice meal, you want it to be perfect the first time. You shouldn't have to ask the server to send back the dish to the kitchen, but it happens. I once got a green egg at a diner during breakfast, which I sent back to the kitchen with haste (politely!). But I'd never dream of s…

And the award for Most Entitled Customer goes to...

When a customer gets too excitable, retail workers know the drill: call their manager over to handle it. Each customer is different, and they each have their own intentions when they enter a store. Of course, most shoppers arrive at a store with a list and just go around and gather all the items they need. But others require more assistance than that. Maybe they have a return that they waited too long to bring back, or perhaps they're looking for a really specific thing and can't find it. You c…

The Internet is a space where anyone can speak their mind, which unfortunately means that a lot of mistakes will be made. Furthermore, it means that a lot of really unintelligent people are going to take up a whole lot of that space. Sometimes, it's a silly mixup, a simple mistake in a social media post that's lighthearted and fun because anyone could make that kind of error. Other times, we're talking about people's unpopular opinions and hot takes that are so out of the blue and so out of lef…

Everyone knows not to upset a pregnant woman. Even if you don't know, you should be able to deduce from the state that woman is in that you need to be extra careful around her. It's a common thing in many species, not just humans, that a pregnant mama-to-be will mess you up if you cross her. A very real example is this Reddit story . This mom-to-be was pregnant in the height of heat during the summer days. She had a designated parking spot in front of her townhouse so she wouldn't have to walk…

These people have a passion for graphic design, and they're ready to show it to the world. If you're an overthinker, you'll understand why some of these designs look so weird . The designer created a design, then thought, “That's too basic, I should tweak it a bit.” Then after the first revision, they thought, “Maybe I can add something else in.” And after many rounds of overthinking, they've produced something that looks cool to them, but is illegible to the average person. The point of most s…

It's hard to tell what's a fad and what fashion will last forever. In the moment, you think that those neon fishnet fingerless gloves are the coolest things you've ever laid your eyes on. Or maybe you fell for the trend of chunky highlights, which were supposed to make you look like a celeb. Instead, many of us left the salon with skunk stripes in our hair, or very obvious highlights that weren't complementary. Even if you look back on these memories with immense cringe , I think it's still nic…

Sometimes the universe deals you a bad hand, and how you handle that is totally up to you. Life isn't fair, and bad things do happen to even the best people. For example, a lot of people shared stories of the instant karma they've experienced on the road. While driving, numerous people shared tales of the times they were being tailgated by the driver behind them. That's when you're driving and the person behind you is riding right up close to your bumper. They're letting you know that they thin…

I have had the privilege of getting to know soldiers over the years, and when I say that their bond is unbreakable, I mean that they will stop at nothing to ensure that the people they love are taken care of. Whether they like it or not, they are now a family, and families stick together through good times and bad. There are many stories, like the one below, about troops sticking together. However, the story below is of an active-duty trooper who was denied entry into a local bar shortly after…
