It doesn't matter how long you've been on this planet or how much you know, smart people still do stupid things. Even the concept of "smartness" is variable. Anyone might know everything there is to know about brain surgery but might not know that it's stupid to put metal in the microwave. Some of us were just sick the day we learned that snow is made out of water, only to have that fact make us look like complete smooth-brains a decade later. There are too many obvious things people realize way too late.

Why not get all your musings from a Tex-Mex restaurant sign in Austin, Texas? There's something so folksy yet official about sign jokes. Maybe the knowledge that a random person had to go out there and put up every letter by hand just gives it more meaning? Maybe it's the boldness of putting opinions on a big sign for thousands to see? Maybe we just like signs. It definitely works for this sign whose pun game is too on point.

There's something about the wildly entitled people of this world, where they end up staging the most memorable of meltdowns whenever they get righteously rejected. In this case, it sounds like the mom was being the very living definition of entitled. And naturally, upon being called out on her antics she makes it about herself. 

Most of us have nightmares about having to do something and not knowing exactly how to do it, but having a boss shouting at us to make it happen. It happens in real life too, and sometimes it works out. Usually not, but sometimes. The working world drives us to absurd scenes, like this employee who wasn't being paid for being on time or these wild employee complaints that turned out to be legit.

Man oh man, it's a Tumblr thread like this that might lead you to walk through life with just a bit more caution about strangers' underlying intentions. Specifically, whether or not that random dude who shows up wearing a work outfit similar to the company you work for, actually works for the company. Honestly wonder if that little bit about Leo DiCaprio is true or not. If it is, that's hilarious. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this wild Tumblr thread about a neighbor Steve and the abominations. It's a trip. 

Professional life has one central tenant that we all try to abide by: try as hard as possible to do as little work as possible. Most of us are able to get away pretty well with this, but some of us fly too close to the sun and our lazy incompetence is seen in the form of "not my job" moments. Make way for glorious professional apathy.

Many of us are innocently susceptible toward forgetting names of the very people that we just met. Oftentimes this awkward moment of forgetfulness can occur when you meet someone who has been nothing short of a genuinely nice human being. From there, the descent is rapid into cringeland, where you have to ask them to remind you of their name. The only hope is that they don't take the whole matter personally. Names are hard, man. Maybe this thread that includes people's clever ways of remembering names will serve to help you sidestep he next potentially awkward conversation. 

Time is a tricky beast. It's as if when you want it to move along quickly it chugs along like it's wearing ankle weights, and then when you want it to slow down for the sake of being able to fully appreciate those golden moments, it falls between your hands like sand. Before you know it, you've watched another decade go by, and suddenly you're overhearing the younger generations laughing about the olden days when lunatics used to burn CDs. Oh, those were the days, the days before finely polished Spotify playlists. 

There have definitely been some unintended consequences of connecting billions of people in an electronic network of images and symbols. Like, sure it's given deluded weirdos places to groupthink themselves into complete derealization, and for some reason ticket prices have all these weird surcharges now. But also, the internet has provided cursed weirdness from its depths. That's something, right?

Maybe one of the best parts about dating someone on a serious level is that you're able to embrace the art of the inside joke between you and your partner that nobody else in the world is apt to pick up on. In this fun AskReddit thread people describe the inside jokes that they enjoy sharing with their partners for the explicit purpose of trolling them to oblivion. If anything, it might give you some ideas if you're looking for a new way to troll your partner.
