ridiculous

Man, you've really got to hand it to the tech support employees of this wild world. They're really out there on the frontlines, weathering all kinds of profound stupidity. In this case, we have a tech support employee dealing with an irritated customer who is convinced that their phone's dead because they changed their password, and then the phone wouldn't charge. I mean, really, where do you even start with something like that? 

Let this glorious TIFU stand as a lesson to the rest of us about the importance of handling the getting rid of Christmas trees in a timely manner. Naturally, if you don't you run the risk of unleashing nothing short of a horror scene in your living space. 

You just never know what you're going to get from the wild world of Tumblr and all of its strange, wandering minds. Sometimes, you end up coming across an individual like the one we have here who is thoroughly committed to discovering the meaning of life by hyper analyzing a laminated paper towel. And naturally, the results are nothing short of glorious. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread where a master in animal sciences gets schooled on horses. 

Well, that professor got exactly what they asked for. Sometimes, as a student you encounter a teacher who seems to carry on in such a way that indicates they're the one who ultimately needs to be schooled. Fortunately, these students had their wits about them, and happily, maliciously complied. Can't imagine that the teacher was too stoked about the outcome. 

Tattoos can be tricky business. One typo or slip of the hand can have someone wearing "I love moom" on their bicep for the rest of their life. Tattoo artists take multiple precautions to idiot-proof the process, but we still end up with tattoo choices that have people asking questions. Sometimes the customers themselves are uncontrollable, like in the case of this male Karen who didn't believe a tattoo shop owner.

The fact that this cheap and delusional choosing beggar came right out of the gate dishing out the "dear" left and right, was already a bright red flag. We're not sure what compels these cheap choosing beggars to stubbornly continue onward in their ways, but it's truly a spectacle to behold. At the end of the day though, they're just wasting the time of the sellers trying to get rid of their stuff in an efficient, timely manner. Check out some more ridiculous choosing beggars content with this entitled goof who tried to get a designer to work for free. 

Now this is sibling rivalry at its very finest. If you have any siblings and you happen to know that they're well trained in the dark art of computer hacking, it's probably best to never consider lifting their iPod/personal device. This brother was certainly ready to leap at his chance to carry out a brutal pro revenge. 

Those Amazon Echos can get you, man. This couple experienced quite the shocking moment when the husband had unknowingly paired up with the Amazon Echo, while watching a video with Terry Crews in it. While the initial and mysterious booming voice might've been some kind of terrifying, can you imagine if Terry Crews was actually in their kitchen? 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the most insulting compliments that they've ever received. Insulting compliments are a confusing predicament to find yourself in; on the one hand, someone just said something "nice" to you, but on the flip side, the nicety was paired with something else that pointed out how you were less than, in the person's eyes. Like, you're great, but not as good as everyone else in the room. 

Rare insults will always manage to melt our icy hearts. They're often creative and brutal, and likely leave whoever is on the receiving end of them, speechless. The online world will always have people ready to spew the next insult, so why not spice it up a bit by thinking outside the box. These folks definitely pulled it off. 

To be a parent is to be subjected to a continual emotional rollercoaster, as you work on raising your devilish children into reasonably functional adults. The toddler phase especially is marked by a steady procession of spontaneous, and absolutely explosive emotional meltdowns. You never know what bone a toddler will have to pick with the world. Every day brings with it a new internal struggle in the life of a toddler. These toddler breakdowns are certainly something else. 

A new job may be confusing and hard, but it's still pretty hard to do something so dumb that it will get you fired on the spot. Here are some unwise choices new hires made that made their managers pull the plug before they could do any more damage. It's almost as if it's a competition to get fired.

If you had like a coworker who was a child, you'd never get anything done. We know that from our own experiences as children that kids are weird and dumb. Sure, they're still learning that life makes no damn sense, but that doesn't detract from the fact that kids are strange and stupid.
