From tiny misprints to stairs that lead nowhere, these folks all failed at their jobs for one day. No one is perfect, since we're all human. Even if you do the same job day in and day out, sometimes you'll make a few mistakes. I'm a big fan of the “ frog cake ” mishap (see #10 for details). Perhaps the usual cake artist was out that day, and maybe an untrained employee just took a swing at it. It's humble, it's modest, it's almost abstract! It's certainly an unforgettable cake, just not in the…

We all know someone in our lives who made a questionable choice when naming their child. Some people like to be “original” without realizing that they are potentially scarring their baby for life by trying to be cool and different. Don't get me wrong: every so often, there's a unique baby name that genuinely works. But nine times out of ten, the bold baby names are a full swing and a miss. And guess who's stuck with that name for life? An innocent kid! Below is a compilation of some of the most…

Everyone has standards, but sometimes you have to be willing to forgo them. If you're in a desperate situation, it's not the time to start making demands, nor is it the time to be difficult. If you're having trouble getting what you need, there is a good chance that the situation boils down to you being the problem (as Taylor Swift would say). Recently, I found myself needing to travel to another state for a wedding but not being able to afford the astronomical flight prices. I found myself des…

Yes, you read that right. No—it's not a typo that has been carelessly struck by an overworked and stressed-out writer who is frantically throwing these galleries together for your eyes to absorb. There are actually 150+ memes in this collection that are begging for your observance. Ok, so it's not like a collection of memes is actually going to restore a lack of purpose to your life—should your life be lacking one—but it's a darn sight better than not browsing a collection of memes at all. And,…

You know, I've always been one of those people who can't help but wonder what's really going on inside the heads of my co-workers, especially over the years. I mean, there's got to be some juicy stories they've never shared with anyone, right? And just imagine for a moment, what if you could actually read their minds? Hear all those outrageous, hilarious, or downright shocking confessions they keep hidden! Then, I stumbled upon this Reddit thread that's all about the craziest things co-workers…

Everyone has at least ten cringe memories from high school and perhaps a few wholesome ones too. For me, it's mostly cringe but every so often I remember that one time I knocked my Halloween costume out of the park or when I got a big solo in chorus. For the most part, though, I'm just like everyone else. I was known for something, and that was being in the school plays. I was largely protected from ridicule, though, because my theater kid status meant I did have some cooler, older friends. But…

You know that bartenders have seen plenty of nonsense they wish they never saw. Of course, it's not their fault. People are absolute fools in these establishments and have zero idea that sound does, in fact, travel. On top of that, customers also seem to forget that bartenders do not suddenly become invisible after they have served you a drink. They are right there with you as you confess your biggest regrets, secrets, and gossip to your buddy. These customers clearly forgot where they were as…

Trying to get back together after you've burned a bridge is a lost cause. It's kind of a Sisyphean task and a pointless one at that. If your relationship crashed and burned, you must be in an even worse place if you're trying to get back together. There's no way you could be well-adjusted. If you were, you would have recognized that the damage is done and that it's just better for everyone involved if you walk away and stay away. Some of us, however, are not this smart. When I was in my early t…

When you want to get the most amount of food for your money, it's time to head to your local all-you-can-eat buffet . Going to buffets was always a treat when I was a child. When you walk into a buffet, you're overwhelmed with the delicious smells and dozens of food choices. Whether you want roast turkey or green beans or cheesecake, an all-you-can-eat spot is bound to have a massive selection. I always loved getting both mashed potatoes and fries, and dipping the fries in the mashed potatoes.…

We all know the classic dating red flags, but everyone has their own individual pet peeves. Sure, lying about being single or being a stalker are dealbreakers, but pet peeves can have the same power to immediately disqualify someone from being in your life. Personally speaking, I have several red flags that I would always watch out for in my ‘first date’ days. Let's start with the people who say that they are ‘open books." No one who says that is an actual open book. The dates who say that are…

It's easy to forget that history can be fun, especially if you are haunted by the memories of bad history classes in school, but there were some pretty bizarre historical events that continue to be hilarious today. Whether it's the Roman Empire, U.S. history in the 1970s, or the Salem Witch Trials, there were ridiculous people with ridiculous customs in every era. In fact, if there is one thing that unites all kinds of people across time, it's that people have always been and always will be str…

Interviewing can be challenging, but with bills to pay and mouths to feed (ie: Me and my dog), you've gotta do your best to make a great first impression to score any job worthwhile. We've learned all about the ‘tips for a successful job application’ but what about the things to avoid? We've learned how to crush an interview, but how can we completely and utterly blow it?

Cardigans, fallen leaves, and pumpkin spice, oh my! That's right, folks. Autumn is upon us, which means that it's time to start brainstorming your Halloween costume for all the parties you'll likely miss. ‘Tis the season when we are finally able to stop complaining about the blistering heat, air conditioning that is never strong enough, and that gross garbage smell that seems to spread across every street during the unbearable month that is August. Instead, we can move on, kiss that season good…

The pettiest thing this person ever admitted to was the time they "put a slice of bologna in [a] walkman CD player."

As if teachers don't have enough on their plates, they sometimes get students who think they don't need to learn anymore , because they already know all there is to know. When you're a teenager, you think you know everything there is to know. You want to be treated like an adult already! You've been in school for over a decade, and you think that now that you've passed a calc class or two, you may as well take a break from learning. When I was a senior in high school, a teacher told me that by…

It's easy to feel bad for servers and employees who have to deal with Karen customers on a regular basis, but not enough attention is given to the poor children of these unhinged people. They have to deal with that level of entitlement daily and overcome stomaching one embarrassing encounter after another. They probably feel sick every time they have to go anywhere with Mama Karen or Papa Kevin. Meanwhile, these kids are also spending every waking moment worried that one day, they might take on…
