wrong

Maybe we need to modernize our list of idioms, because a lot of them seem to be wishful thinking. Between the many contradictory sayings, the ones that can't stand to scrutiny, and the ones that are flat-out wrong, it seems like we're ready for an update. Some popular sayings are just kind of BS. And for others, the full versions of those classic sayings totally change their meaning.

Everyone wants to leave work early, but sometimes it takes a few design fails to get there. Ill conceived products, idiotic font choices, and some less-than-mastery of photoshop get people into some weird situations. Adding to that, the pesky thing with reality is that sometimes things don't fit where you want them to. Enough "not my job" moments of failure have proven that.

A lot of us use popular sayings just to make ourselves feel better in times of crisis, and some people use these to justify their jerk behavior. Some of them are metaphors that aren't even literally correct. Our knowledge of a lot of popular sayings is so flawed, we don't even know there's a second half, as shown by this tumblr thread on the full versions of sayings.

Customers get can get extremely indignant when they believe that a fast food employee is "denying their rights" or whatever. But when the dust settles, and the guy has threatened to call the cops over being denied a reheated fish taco, nothing hits quite harder than "dude, this is a McDonalds." If it's not already obvious, customers make some ridiculous demands.

If only they had thought to build that chandelier, ceiling fan, window, door or pipe just a little more to the left. If only someone had laid that tile with just a little more care. It doesn't feel good knowing that these images will exist, just mocking the gods of straight, flush, on-target crispness. All you can do is try to counteract them with images of things fitting perfectly.

For whatever reason, there are a few common misconceptions that are way too persistent. After mountains of evidence to the contrary, your uncle will still sit at the dinner table and proudly proclaim an untrue "fact" in complete seriousness. Even complete strangers will still come up to you and insist certain laws are true when they don't actually exist.

It doesn't take much to get a rumor started. One misheard supposition or secret mom campaign and the next day you could find out that everyone thinks your girlfriend is a goat. It's hard to forget about that one. Here are more times people were wrongfully misjudged as well as rumors about Americans that turned out to be true.

Whether it was last week or thirty years ago, people remember being accused of things they didn't do. It's one of the most maddening feelings to be wrongfully misjudged, especially when there's no way to prove your own innocence. Here are people who got blamed for some BS. Luckily, a few of them were able to prove their innocence. Some weren't so lucky.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their experiences with being on the receiving end of wrongful, premature judgments. Judgments are absolutely not always grounded in what is. It's remarkable how many of us can give ourselves over to what thoughts come into our minds, about what defines someone else. 

Here are just a bunch of observed food crimes, as well as really horrible ideas to get you kicked out of the break room. People can be very particular about food, and a small mistake will make you like wildly out of place. People have witnessed some food atrocities, and in turn, sometimes people get a food wrong but carry on with it anyway.

Being forced into a situation where he's expected to take care of and spend money on a baby two levels removed from him, this guy wonders if he's an asshole for totally removing himself with the situation. Some people like kids and go the extra mile to help out other folks, other people don't like kids and are within their rights to not have to deal with ones that just fell into their lives. Sometimes people choose to ask the internet whether or not they're being a jerk in their given situation.

There are a lot of ways to fail a driving test. You could roll through a stop sign or forget how to use your blinker. If you're really bad, you could even hit the instructor. We're not sure why you'd want to fail a driving test. Maybe you're afraid of the scary things you could see while driving at night.

We get a kick out of people being petty like this guy who uses his imperfect lawn to drive his mean neighbor insane, but we've never seen someone cause family drama with the act of pitching a red onion as far as they could. To be fair to him, they already had some cut onions, but to be fair to her, it is just an onion.

Are you ready to laugh until you cry? This funeral fail started out innocent enough, with a "you got this" and descended quickly into an absolute mess. This TIFU story is one of the most cringeworthy stories we've encountered, and I really feel sorry for the guy. At least he won't make that mistake again. 

There are a lot of reasons people lie online. They lie to get fake internet points, to mislead consumers, and to just make themselves feel better. People write fake reviews, ask fake questions, claim someone lost weight through their own scam diet shakes, and make up ridiculous, outlandish lies. Luckily there are people out there committed to finding the truth and calling this BS out into the light. For more justice, here are more no-good liars who got called on their BS.
