It's often worth it to defer to the person whose job it is to schedule things, but Karen was sure about what she wanted, so by gum she got it. It's almost like this rude customer who demanded no ice and got less than that. Karens have a rough track record with the bureaucracy of hotels, for example, this Karen who wanted a late check out and got rejected.

Words have it too easy with everyone taking them too seriously all the time. That's why it's important to show words who's boss with some punintentionally punishing puns of worldly wordplay. These words think they're safe, hiding in their sentences and all. Well no more, it's time to debase words and play around with them in a display of total irreverence of their intended meaning. So, puns.

Goes to show, if you have a problem at a restaurant, it's pretty likely that if you just respectfully tell them what's wrong with your food they might have a chance to fix it. Stewing in your own hatred is just ensuring that everyone has a bad time. But people would rather make a scene and leave a bad review, like this lying Karen who got decimated by an owner's response.
Many of us grew up cracking our knuckles and being scolded for it. And when we moved out, it gave us license to let it rip and pop those knuckles like a bowl of eggs in the microwave. This person's mom demanded they write and essay about the health effects of knuckle cracking, which they did, but not in the way she wanted. For another wholesome tale of malicious compliance, here's one kid's wholesome malicious digging compliance.
As aficionados of the weird and stupid, Tumblr hits us with some extremely unique interactions that are hard to find anywhere else on the internet. These sparkling tumblr gems teach us about ourselves and humanity, but mostly about the dark, hidden lore of Disney movies that came out decades ago. It's hard to argue with the tumblr gems.

It's not uncommon for an irate Karen to find a fellow customer and assume they're an employee based on the color of their shirt. In typical hyper-aggressive Karen fashion, any attempt to let the Karen know that she is mistaken will be met with a "you're just a lazy employee who just doesn't want to help me." Cue this bystander who figure out a way to beat Karen at her own stupid game. Customer service is a wild game.
More often than not, the more ready someone is to call someone else an idiot, the higher chance they themselves are the true moron. People will double down and say some wildly dumb things, but rarely do we get to prove these people wrong. It's at least a little nice to challenge the absurd things people say in complete seriousness.
Despite a litany of reasonable excuses, this school administration was determined to send someone to detention. This person's dad, being a bro, decided to show up for detention and make a point regarding the absurdity of the whole situation. Sometimes school faculty isn't this rigid and vindictive, like these teachers who pulled total bro moves.

What is left out there for the splendiferously learned among us to laugh about? Perhamspnt must ye be learned enough that though shalt iimplore thine knowledge of the histories. The history memes that thoust understand better than the other peasants may set thine apart from the ye rabble, may let it be knownts amoung the gentry forthwith; thehistory memes for the ages be that with thou pullst thine knowledge swoard fromme the stone of tyme. Amen.
No cult will ever reveal that it's a cult, but they're easy enough to spot. It's usually any group with a whole lot of robes, too much enthusiasm and some really nontransparent management. At its core, any group can seem cult-like, especially when it develops its own strict set of rules and ceremonies. In these strange times it wouldn't be surprising if more cults are coming.
As people who have grown up playing video games, we scoff at the notion that video games inherently corrupt people and turn them into violent sociopaths. It's probably more likely that they just turn people into hardline capitalists determined to see how they can buff their intelligence with potions in order to siphon as much gold as possible out of their local apothecary. Video games give people a chance to nuke their fellow players out of orbit, but they also let us cooperate with people we might otherwise not, and sometimes that turns into wholesome moments such as this.

We all have preconceived notions of the places we hear about. "Paris is romantic" we think, before stepping off the plane and onto a rat who works nights as a chef. "Venice is also romantic" we think, before our gondola crashes into a fellow tourist and the gondola guys get into a naval fistfight. Every time we travel, we have an opportunity to learn.
You see it over and over again, someone parks like a jackass, then finds that someone can be a jackass right back to them. This guy who wasted an illegally parked Karen's time is another good example. People will never learn when it comes to this stuff, which is why people keep having to step in.
Cleverness and intelligence are two very different things. The difference can be spotted freely lurking throughout technically correct dumb jokes and moments. Honestly, just knowing things can be boring. Setting up oneself up with some potentially confusing technically accurate logical acrobatics or painfully stupid literalisms is the way to go.
We're no bone-ologists, but we fully admit that skeletons can be misleading. Maybe its that seeing only the pointy bits of an animal seriously drops its capacity for cuddlyness. If anything, these exercises in guessing are a stark reminder that every few years we get told a new way we've been wrong about dinosaurs, and it hurts every time. For a completely empirical discussion of the sciences, here's Tumblr's list of sciences judged on lickability.
The hilarious and totally random errant thoughts of like-minded strangers find themselves taking refuge in the halls of Tumblr. In a way, it's like Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, except with people who have extremely strong opinions about Avatar: The Last Airbender. So post up in this pile of tumblr gems, dig in deep, and hear their stupid, stupid tales of cryptid encounters and unsatisfactory burritos.
