We love us some clever comebacks from the online world's spicy silver tongues. As long as there's a comments section or people insist on clogging up social media feeds with mindless tweets and statuses that could've used a second set of eyes, and a dash of logic, we'll have other folks waiting eagerly nearby, ready to light them up in the comments section. We've also got that gem from the legend, Stephen Hawking. Check out some more confidence-shattering comebacks and insults over here.

It's hard to define what exactly makes something cringe. It's really a vibe. It's the embarrassing images and comments people post on the internet without irony that inspire others to log off. It's something that makes you feel ashamed just for having witnessed its awkwardness. So why do we subject ourselves to this pain? Well, because it's funny. If you're in a masochistic mood, we've got a whole bunch of cringe content for you to wince through. To be fair, a few of these specimens from r/cringepics and r/cringetopia are cringe in a self-aware way, which is actually kinda based. 

Sometimes, the best course of action when it feels like the walls are closing in, and you're faced with a boss that insists on being a lousy human being, is to play out some good old malicious compliance. In this case, it sounds like it ended up working out for the employee. Even though they were fired, they basically got that paid vacation before they were able to start up with their new gig. 

Check out some more juicy malicious compliance with this boss who orchestrated their own downfall.

"Dog shower thoughts" are a lot like the human version, but better, because dogs. 

Oh man, this guy literally brought the walls in around his previous employer, until he'd basically starved him of hiring opportunities. This revenge seems cold and calculated, and like it wasn't rushed. Patience can absolutely pay off in the long run. 

The worst thing to see is a rule that only serves to end up hurting someone else. This poor elderly lady just needed the extra help, but the inspector had to go and have zero chill, and complicate that process. Fortunately, the medical transportation driver was ready to disregard all that BS, and do what was necessary to help the elderly lady in need. 

Man, people who refuse to pay for services rendered are really in a terrible league of their own. This particular guy learned his lesson, after refusing to pay up for a fireplace project. Suffice to say, he got smoked out. Check out some more juicy pro revenge drama with this electric organ revenge that was years in the making.

Enough of all the landlords in the world trying to take advantage of their kindhearted tenants just trying to plant their roots. Seriously, this landlord thought they'd be able to pull a fast one on the tenant and raise their rent by $500 just because they knew the tenant had the money to pay that. Fortunately, the landlord was stopped in their tracks. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the people that genuinely love their jobs. As it turns out, some folks are actually lucky enough to find themselves with a career opportunity that doesn't feel like work at all. It can be done. And if you ever find yourself in that kind of position, just hold on for dear life. And if you're not, maybe some of these gigs will give you new ideas about a career shift. 

Anyone who has ever played a game of Monopoly with their family knows firsthand how wildly competitive those games can end up being. Tempers can flare up and soar through the roof. Tears can be spilt. Grudges can be created. Monopoly is just one of those games that manages to bring out the very worst in people. With that being said, this kid's brutal blow to his dad during their game of Monopoly is the stuff of legends. Don't think dad will be talking to them for a while. 

Sometimes historians don't do the best job at properly noting, and giving credit to the people that very well could've altered history itself with the decisions they made. This particular AskReddit thread pays homage to the women that often get overlooked in history, but had profound contributions to society. 

This week's top shower thoughts from Reddit's r/ShowerThoughts are real mind-blowers! All mind-blowers except for the R. Kelly one, we just really agree with it. What do you guys think? Which one really made you stop and realize, "Whoa. That's true."?

This tale of pro revenge involving an inconsiderate county mower and a dad who wasn't going to put up with anyone's nonsense reminds us of another revenge involving a steel-enforced mailbox and a snowplow. The grin on dad's face must've spanned from cheek to cheek. Sounds like the county mower was ultimately unsuccessful with trying to get dad to cough up cash for those broken blades too. Talk about the icing on the cake.
