In what world does someone think that if they complain about their new washer being broken that they'll get a second one and just get to have two washers? Seriously. Customers can be a handful but sometimes people get through to them with an honest approach. For when you can't, here are some customer service memes to help laugh away the pain.
stupid
The world is full of dumb spelling fails and at this point it doesn't seem like there's much to do about them other than laugh it off. You can't make adults go back to elementary school, and honestly who'd want them to when we get so many unintentional nonsensical humorous utterances out of it.
It doesn't take much to bum out whole roomful of people. A bad tv connection, a stupid fight, or bad work news can throw an entire room into complete disarray. A lot of these include weird ways people got laid off. For more social job related moments here are some HR nightmare stories.
There are a crap ton of things to buy out there, but very few of them are actually worth buying. Here are some people who regret their purchases because the product was deceptive or horrible, or they didn't realize the implications of their purchase, or they just wanted it so bad for no explainable reason. Sometimes purchases will lead to massive regret.
Magnets, how do they work? All the time, and very powerfully. Here are some very expensive mistakes that resulted in people and things getting magnet-ed all up in there. For some more misfortune, failures, mistakes and messes, here are unfortunate moments of failure and chaos.
It's annoying being told that you are default a bad parent or are always insensitive, among other things. Thanks to the oversimplification of gender roles in our culture, both men and women have to deal with this kind of stuff all the time. Here are some generalizations particular to men that they're tired hearing about. Sometimes men even have to get away from dangerous dates. And here are some ridiculous moments that go to show that men are complex creatures.
It doesn't matter if things are going well, it's just a matter of time until life hits you with unfortunate moments of failure and chaos. It's best to be able to just deal with setbacks as they come and move on from the productively, but that doesn't mean that chaos can derail people's lives for a little while. No matter how hard you try, the spectacular unfortunate moments will never end.
There's something about breaking magic bread with strange drunks that seems almost weirdly biblical. That or this stranger just didn't have enough money for bread and tricked this guy into a free snack. This sounds small and dumb but two months is a long time for bread. Sadly, leaving bread out like that will probably cut its days shorter than expected. For another petty and stupid food story, here's a reporter who kept winning office chili cook-offs with store bought chili.
Why does nobody listen to experts? The tree removal company told this guy what the deal was, he didn't listen, and lo and behold, gets to pay more money for a tree and a deck. Customers can get pretty dumb, like the time this landscaper handily dealt with a customer who demanded her kids get her discount.
Money doesn't necessarily make a person intolerable to be around, but it can definitely give their kids a psychopathically ignorant sense of entitlement. Here are some more times the real world hit a spoiled rich kid. Nothing makes regular people angry quite like the antics of spoiled rich kid syndrome.
This customer decided to intervene on an entitled woman's irritating quest to lock down a sticker (for a free coffee journal) by ultimately doubling back and taking the sticker she'd originally turned down. The only way she could've rubbed it in the entitled customer's face more would've been to eat the sticker in front of her. Sheesh.
For most people, we have a bed against a wall or two, usually to conserve bedroom space. This Tumblr thread gets into how much of bed placement is actually rooted in fear. Also, it seems like Thomas Jefferson was a weird dude. Tumblr can get down some unique rabbit holes, like the semantics of updog, or these varied Tumblr gems.
Incompetent power-tripping managers can get themselves into some really stupid situations, like this boss who demanded a special contractor be on call 24/7 and ended up with a $10K invoice. In lucky situations, incompetent managers get called on their BS and have to actually deal with the ramifications of their actions, rather than pushing the burden onto their employees.
We're back at it again with a fresh round of clueless liars getting called out for trying to spread their mindless BS into the online world. Ever since the internet's been around, it seems like we've had a hearty supply of people ready to try and weave their web of lies. It's like they've sold themselves on their lies at this point, and the lines between what's true and false are blurred beyond recognition for them.
The idea here was the idea that "if your judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it's stupid." Here are people who were totally misjudged, or misjudged others. Sometimes this stuff sticks with you and still makes you mad. For some similar stories about pettier things, here's stuff adults are still salty about.
