cringe

I'm loving the pacing of this story. In that, the protagonist keeps a level head when faced with extremely aggressive and irrational antics from some entitled parents that were never going to be reasoned with. It's also great that everything was ultimately able to be de-escalated in such a way that nobody was harmed. Except for the entitled dad's ego. 

The internet's in no short supply of cursed food abominations that can effortlessly leave you at a loss for words. It's like, on the one hand the cursed food is "creative", but on the other hand it's soberingly disgusting. Some food ideas are better left as mere food ideas. Sometimes though, you just might end up dreaming up a dish that's actually amazing. I'm personally not opposed to the idea of having some mini pizza slices on a slice of pizza. 

People can fall through the cracks when it comes to picking up on all kinds of tidbits of necessary common sense. And it's through that process of falling through the cracks that folks can end up growing up to believe in absolutely nonsensical things. Maybe you've encountered one of these blissfully clueless individuals at one point or another in your life. Maybe you tried to enlighten them. Maybe you were met with an unwavering wall of stubborn ignorance. Oh well. It can be worth a shot. 

Whenever someone goes out of their way to say that it's not their fault, it's very likely that it's in fact their fault. It sounds like this Karen hotel guest adopted a stance of being completely disagreeable from the very beginning. And then when she gets rightfully rejected, she proceeds to ask for the manager. Of course. We're just wondering how many other times she tried to pull a stunt like this. Like, she needs four hours to search her hotel room for an ID? Um, okay. Okay, Karen. For another Karen tale check out the time that a customer Karen asked to speak to the manager, and then proceeded to get righteously checkmated. 

You never know if you're going to encounter an adult out in the wild who spontaneously hits their breaking point, and devolves back into a childlike state that's brimming with emotional overreactions. This collection of the worst adult temper tantrums that people ever ended up witnessing is a whole lot of absurdity. 

Communication is hard. Sure, we're able to communicate with pretty much anyone at any moment. But does that mean we're good at it? Quite the opposite. It feels like this ability has somehow broken our brains in a way that sometimes makes it harder to say what we mean. Or people are emboldened by the convenience of faceless discussion, allowing them to say things they wouldn't dream of uttering in person. Most of all, texting and DMs make for a ton of accidental cringe and comedy. These exchanges definitely fall into at least one of those categories - and sometimes fall into both. 

Right off the bat it's striking to see how many "next big things" that ended up totally flopping came right out of the Google factory. Maybe that's part of their secret though. Just going with a multitude of crazy ideas, and hoping that at least one of them will hit big. I mean, they definitely have the resources to funnel all those necessary funds into wild projects. Also, shout out to those Segway scooters. People were so stoked about them, and that's about where things left off right before all the hype came crashing down, and the reality of using a Segway ended up disappointing many. 

As our 4/20 programming comes to an end, we'd like to share some funny (and unfortunate) tales of the weird and dumb crap people do when they're high. It's true that many of us would like to think we're resistant to stoned stupidity, I'm sure a lot of our smokers have at least one specific story that makes them cringe a little. These examples range from understandably daft (losing one's phone in a back pocket) to incredibly disgusting (drinking piss). And we're willing to bet they'll be funnier while high. 

People working in the service industry are already muddling through long enough shifts without having to worry about juggling entitled, and outright aggressive complaints from the world's army of Karens. Fortunately, this Karen was smoothly put in her place after asking to speak to restaurant's manager. Oh boy, to have witnessed the look of hopeless defeat on her face. 

Unfortunately, many of us have ended up moving into a promising, new, and humble abode, only to realize that said abode is located terribly closely to a complete waking nightmare of a human being. Or, perhaps what starts off as a seemingly cordial enough relationship between you and a neighbor gives way to them going full entitled mode, and asking you for free access to your high speed internet. You just never know. People are full of surprises. Hopefully these folks' stories about the infamous people in their neighborhoods make you feel a bit better about your gnarliest neighbor situations. 

Hey man, these are strange times. Time itself seems to be kicking along at the strangest pace. It could be a result of the dystopian world we all found ourselves muddling through about a year ago. With that being said, it doesn't hurt to check that calendar before bombarding a call center with a fiery complaint that absolutely could've been avoided in the first place. 

There's entitlement, and then there's blind ignorance that ultimately manifests in a nightmare of a human being that refuses to hear the obvious truth their being told. This particular case of an entitled Karen is just plain old discouraging. All the credit goes to the woman being "accused" of working at the store, for delivering a spicy silencer of a comeback. Check out another case of an insufferable Karen with this Karen who lied about a back injury, and ended up getting outed.

Weddings have an uncanny knack for hosting all kinds of drama. It could be a natural manifestation of bringing various family members together that should otherwise never find themselves in the same room as one another. So, the role of a wedding planner is an indispensable one. They can singlehandedly maintain the balance in that fragile ecosystem that is a wedding venue, and smoothly steer the ship clear of crashing into total disasters. For some more wedding drama check out this AskReddit thread about the times that wedding industry workers just knew that things weren't going to work out. 

It seems like this whole situation was destined for a customer meltdown from the very start. Like, how on earth do you navigate a customer's impossible demand that involves garlic free garlic bread? With that being said, it is so overwhelmingly strange that it's actually pretty hilarious. We can only imagine what other kinds of ludicrous requests that folks working customer service jobs are having to field on a daily basis.
