'Peanut vendor wearing suit made peanuts': 30 Fashion-forward flops

'Peanut vendor wearing suit made of peanuts': 30 Fashion-forward flops

It's about to get stylish in here. Ready for the latest looks right off the runway? Well, we have none of that. But we do have some truly excellent fashion pieces that are certainly unique. In the world of highly specific subreddits, one of my favorites is r/ATBGE. It highlights clothing, jewelry, or other artwork that is made with “awful taste, but great execution.” (And because it's Reddit, yes, there is also the exact opposite, called “good taste but awful execution.") It's a helpful way to…

'My husband picked up a shift at work on our wedding night': 20+ Unforgettably bad weddings

Maybe you can't recall the best wedding you've ever been to, but the worst one probably comes to mind instantly. Every couple wants their wedding to be memorable in the right way. They want guests to gush over the decorations, talk about how delicious the food is, and dance late in the night until their feet are sore. It's supposed to be fun… but a lot of weddings end up being so much work that the guests hardly get to enjoy themselves. A common factor seems to be the brides and grooms who plan…

‘Overtime pay for zero work? No problem!’: Employee uses overtime to read a book, leading demanding boss to never request they stay late again

‘Overtime pay for zero work? No problem!’: Employee uses overtime to read a book, leading demanding boss to never request they stay late again

Different jobs have different ways of measuring productivity. You might have a certain quota of assignments you have to do during the day, or maybe get to a certain amount of sales. Or, in some cases, your productivity might be measured simply by how many hours you have been on the job, and not by the quality of your work. This preference for quantity over quality is something that I personally do not agree with. I think if an employee gets the job done, they shouldn't be further kept at their…

'If there are adult diapers, why aren't there adult strollers?': 25+ unintelligent thoughts people actually said out loud

Has anyone had one of those horrendous “did I just say that out loud" realizations? If you haven't, you must be some sort of genius because the rest of us common folk have likely felt foolish and unintelligent in public settings countless times.

'[She] was the absolute worst': Teacher embarrassed in front of entire class during satisfying guest presentation

Who didn't dream of seeing their least favorite teacher get their comeuppance? You may be 12 years old or you may be 42, but the truth of the matter is that no one forgets that one unnecessarily cruel teacher. This, of course, would be the so-called “educator” who didn't seem to enjoy any aspect of their job with the exception of disciplining children and asserting their power over their students. This would be that teacher who pre-judged you on Day One and who never let you prove yourself as a…

'She wanted to pay cash over the phone': 20+ Senseless souls who left the people around them speechless

Even the smartest person in the room occasionally has a memory lapse. It happens to all of us at some point. However, there are people who seem chronically out of the loop, catastrophically dim, or unreasonably unprepared for daily life. We love these people all the same, but their off-the-wall remarks still stick with us. One Redditor who goes by u/_FrankAbagnale asked for people to share the “dumbest question someone legitimately asked you,” and more than 31k people replied. Some people were…

'I sneezed at least 100 times on our 45 minute date': 20 cringeworthy first date mishaps

These stories collectively serve as a compelling argument for hiring a dating coach. Obviously, dating is not something that comes easily to everyone. It's the age-old “practice makes perfect” thing. What can I say? The internal struggle of how to become the most grounded, authentic version of oneself without being entirely fake and inauthentic in the process can drive anyone crazy.

'Raccoons still in ceiling': 25 Funny and random signs found in the wild

You never realize you live with a bunch of sarcastic comedians until your neighbors start leaving notes in the lobby . Unless you live in the middle of the desert or something, you probably have a few neighbors. For those of us located in cities, it's normal to have not just one, but possibly dozens of neighbors. It seems like there's at least one person in every apartment building who just can't be normal. They're often quite disruptive, as if the dozens of other people in the building just do…

Terrible coworker is always late getting her nails done, employee gets payback: 'Have fun opening coins with those nails'

Having long nails can be a challenge at work. We mean absolutely no shade to those who choose to keep their nails long; in fact, we marvel at your ability to open doors, envelopes, and file cabinets with them. However, if you are also the type of coworker who frequently shirks their responsibilities and leaves your fellow employees to take on extra tasks, you'd be surprised to learn that your coworkers can use your long nails against you as this employee did. They shared their side of the story…

Plan your wedding just two weeks ahead of time? What could go wrong? Well, just about everything, as this couple learned. It's understandable why a couple would want to avoid the pressures of planning a wedding . It can take years to put together a guest list, snag a venue, hire a catering company and a DJ… the list goes on and on.

‘You’re a grown woman, figure it out': Demanding guest blames hotel clerk for failing to book her room after she disappeared for days

If you want things to get done, 9 out of 10 times, you are going to have to do them yourself. Nobody else will do them for you. If you want to go on vacation, you have to be the one who books the flights, hotels, and attractions. If you are just waiting around for somebody else to do all the hard work for you then–guess what? you are probably not going to go on vacation. I don't know what this customer thought in this Reddit story, but she is the perfect example of these kinds of people who do…

'Don't clock in, don't get paid': Company stops paying employees who fail to clock in on time, leading to a legal dispute

Different workplaces have different ways of ensuring their employees are doing their jobs properly. One of the main aspects of the job that managers usually take note of is when their employees arrive, and when they leave, so there are a few ways a manager can track his employees' working hours. They can use an app that employees would clock in and out from, they can use a physical card and clock at the office, and they can just use the good ol' trusting system in which they trust their employe…
