It doesn't get much better than a sweet headline fail. We're happy when someone screws up, but when someone makes an inappropriate design fail in a newspaper or magazine, it just gives it that extra feeling of stupid that we get to savor like a warm bubble bath. For more news related stuff, here are some hot and wild headlines from the land of Florida Man.

You've probably heard that the rules concerning emotional support animals on airplanes are changing, after a few incidents including a hamster flushed down the toilet, a VIP turkey and a few dog bites. Now, all animals except for dogs, cats and miniature horses are banned from flying. Yep, you heard me right: miniature horses. If you're more interested in taking your doggo on board, check out this travel guide for your fur babies. But if you have equine inclinations, read on. 

This business owner has a history of taking absolutely no shit as well as having an incredible mouth on em. Basically the perfect combo to stop any rude and annoying customer in their tracks. Seriously, check out what this guy said to a private school when he upgraded their charity before them. Total Legend.

It starts off with an interaction between the customer and the admin manager, then after enough annoyance, Chelsea brings in the big guns.

This is surreal and the fact that this guy did what he did for this long before just walking away has sort of an air of triumph to it. First jobs can be really confusing, so when you're a dumb teenager who has no idea how jobs actually work, and are then given zero direction from an awful manager, you can get down some weird rabbit holes.

An incredible 138 seal pups were recorded in the pup-count in 2018! River Thames, a river in London, was declared "biologically dead" 60 years ago and is now clear evidence of a harbor seal breeding ground! Thea Cox, Conservation Biologist, told ZSL, "We were thrilled to count 138 pups born in a single season. The seals would not be able to pup here at all without a reliable food source, so this demonstrates that the Thames ecosystem is thriving and shows just how far we have come since the river was declared biologically dead in the 1950's." 

Anna Cucknell, Project Manager of the ZSL's Thames conservation added, "The restored 'Mother Thames' - as we call her - is an essential nursery habitat and home to many animals including more than 100 species of fish, including two species of shark, short-snouted seahorses and the Critically Endangered European eel.

Incredibly, harbour seal pups can swim within hours of birth which means they are well adapted to grow up in tidal estuaries, like the Thames. By the time the tide comes in they can swim away on it. Grey seals, on the other hand, take longer to be comfortable in the water, so breed elsewhere and come to the Thames later to feed." 

The seal numbers in Thames are rising and Thames has now become one of London's most important wildlife habitats!

Chella Phillips, a resident of the Bahamas, manager of a dog refuge, and self-advertised "crazy dog lady" has taken in nearly a hundred stray dogs in order to protect them from the looming Hurricane Dorian. It's staggering seeing so many dogs in one place, and it's obvious the situation is a complex one, but with the alternative being leaving the dogs out in the storm to fend for themselves, this is a pretty impressive undertaking. In the lighter world of taking in stray animals, we've got a craigslist fail here of a sorely mistaken animal lover who thinks they've adopted a stray cat.

Bats are widely misunderstood creatures in the animal kingdom - while they're associated with witches, vampires and darkness in general, they're actually super cute and interesting. And scientists have just discovered something amazing about them - bats use leaves as "mirrors" that reflect sound waves, helping them find insects hiding behind leaves. Cool, right? Or confusing? Keep on reading, we'll explain everything. 

I guess if you want to not pay someone for their work, it's a pretty bad idea to start off your plan by handing over the keys to your site. Karma hit hard here. It's generally a better policy not to lie and steal, especially from people who have a plan to strike back. Kinda like the time this guy got stiffed so he grouted a bathroom with sugar.

Sometimes, life...finds a way. Cue the Jurassic Park theme song

We all just want to get through a regular, uneventful day, but sometimes life makes things complicated. Sometimes even small things, like dropping a pan of kebabs, can be the most defeating feeling you've had in months. Sometimes it's something bigger, like accidentally overloading a semi-truck and destroying it. These things are all disappointing, but at least they don't happen to you every day,

Ready for your weekly dose of amazing animal photos? These are sure worth your time. Here's a link to our previous list, in case you missed it.

Not sure what the takeaway here is, but this is some straight up cowboy shit. I guess for starters, don't steal horses. Honestly, if you don't know what you're doing, don't even get close to horses. And if the cops stop you riding a horse that's not yours while you're under the influence, we don't really even know what could happen to you. Can they tell if it's a hot horse? Can you get a horse DUI? We just know cops can enforce some real stupid laws if you're being a real asshole.
