ridiculous

Smart business people all around the world have realized that there's money to be made recreating products from well known brands, especially when it's changed just enough to avoid any of those pesky licensing fees. How could that plan go wrong? The results make up some highly absurd off brand and bootleg products.

It sounds like this unfortunate tech support employee was stuck muddling through a gig that suffered the inevitable pitfalls of having an incompetent manager on duty. Honestly this dude J sounds like a complete waking nightmare to work alongside. We're just glad to hear that this dude was able to get out of the toxic job eventually. 

Check out another tech support horror story with this company that insisted on their server not being fixed, and then the fallout that ensued. 

This is definitely one of those wild Tumblr tales that we really hope is real. We have a rotten old cheater who pretty much makes his girlfriend's life completely miserable. Fortunately, her friends were ready to assemble like some real life Avengers, and ultimately save the day. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread where Tumblr goes full on mythological scientist mode. 

In a true display of entitled folks with their outlandish demands, here's a dude who had a website made for him for free, but was absolutely livid the deal didn't come with free hosting for life. Stuff like this just makes you realize that however low you set the bar, someone will take it upon themselves to smash through it on their way further down. It's hard to avoid guffawing at the spectacle of these Entitled folks and their bold demands.

Honestly, the embarrassment should fall on the mechanics a bit too. It seems like most everyone involved in the hilarious conundrum of a car door that got jammed up with a seatbelt was confused. Our brains are funny like that though. Sometimes we get so caught up in aggressively trying to figure out the solution to a problem that we end up overlooking the glaringly obvious. 

Interacting with a dysfunctional institution is an interesting thing. To see something so big not work correctly is a sight to behold. Whether it's working at a place that inspires a "screw this i'm out" moment, or somewhere that's so bad up front that you get a real red flag interview, or just being a customer at a place so unprofessional it's shocking, we can pretty safely assume that it's better to spend your time in businesses that actually function.

Navigating a bureaucracy can be stressful and brimming with pointlessness, especially when dealing with someone who's in a position to make dubious claims about databases and such. Seeing a stupid opportunity, this person used the rules to get themselves in the door. Here are some more great, stupid loopholes that worked.

This random dude wearing a blue shirt had a run-in with a manager who was eager to fire someone she didn't even recognize. This one's kind of the opposite of this chef who was hired by a law firm just to foil the security guard. Employees of huge retail chains have to put up with some strange problems at work, like this guy who got hired and through a series of mistakes, never did anything but still stayed employed for months. 

Nothing quite like getting a call from an angry Karen who you've never crossed paths with, who proceeds to bombard you with a request to turn up to work a shift for a store that you simply don't work for. Seriously, Karen. Pull it together and leave the good people of this world that are just going about their daily business alone. For another solid tale of a Karen misunderstanding check out this story about a Karen assuming that a customer worked at the liquor store she was at. Absolutely absurd and discouragingly clueless. 

There are few companies where management actually knows what's going on. This person had a nearly unusable computer that doubled as a server, and since no one wanted to actually do anything about it, the company felt the pain for the next long while. Weird how some stuff just slips through the cracks. In an opposite but similar vein, here's a guy who improved company efficiency but had that disbanded by management. For an IT triumph, here's a time when management illegally banned overtime pay but IT got it all back.

Some people and companies really are their own worst enemies. In this particular tale of tech support absurdity we get to sit back and witness the inevitable fallout of a company insisting that their faulty server shouldn't be fixed. This story also shows the importance of getting everything in writing. Those emails can end up being very helpful when it comes to keeping the incompetent folks accountable for their self created failures. 

Check out some more tech support glory with this man who insisted that he knew better than IT and then learned otherwise. 

This guy's approach to trying to access a textbook couldn't be more faulty. Like, my man, it's seriously time to reassess the life strategy. Even when he's given multiple opportunities to share the textbook he manages to mess those up. Whole lot of yikes, indeed. Check out some more entitled folks with their outlandish demands over here. 

Every day it becomes more apparent that some folks live in a fantasy land where they can just flout the conventions of decency and demand free stuff. Entitled people with their absurd audacity will expect people to work for them for free, try to abuse the trust of strangers, and throw tantrums when they don't get what they want. There's no good way to deal with entitled people and their laughable boldness.

We know that big movie studios stick to classic money making formulas, and that can lead to bland, predictable movies. But it looks like it's way worse when it comes to advertising for those movies. It's interesting, but a little disheartening seeing how predictable human behavior is, especially when it comes to entertainment. It's like they said, you can't unsee it. If anyone thought this was enough, Tumblr went hard analyzing The Incredibles to oblivion. Tumblr has a thing for analyzing movies, like this hyper analysis of Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean. Here's a tumblr user who ranked the marvel movies based on how many trains were in them, and here's tumblr's dicussion of the visual affects of Jurassic Park.

It seems as if this world will never be in short supply of entitled choosing beggars with their audacious demands. Just because you're someone's family member too doesn't mean that you're off the hook when it comes to irrational demands that never should've been made in the first place. This person's family member for instance expects to be able to get their earrings back that they gave away 10 years ago. I mean, come on with all that noise. You've got to be kidding me.
