Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy made waves last week for reportedly being an abusive customer and tipping $0.20 on a $60 tab. And now, because we are incapable as a people of Letting it Go, that receipt is on ebay.
It should be known by now that we enjoy mocking other people's misfortune - and as schadenfreude goes, these amusing tales are pretty lighthearted. When Twitter user @lillyannatrnr shared a facepalm-worthy serving anecdote from her boyfriend's past, we're willing to bet she didn't think she was starting a thread of epic proportions. But his ignorance regarding creme fraiche and the laughs that followed inspired other users to share their own food-service and grocery work blunders. The result? A massive thread of funny fails and punny verbal comedy. We've picked out some of the better gems for you, but you can see more hilarity at the thread itself.
Most of us have a decent idea of how jokes work, or we are at least somewhat adept of seeing the signs of when something is a joke. It would be rough walking around this world just thinking everyone is stupid and wrong all the time. To further confuse the literal minded, here are some technically accurate moments that aren't wrong. And for some straight up dumbness, here are some facepalm moments from humanity's beacons of stupid.
Wherever there are people minding their own business, trying to go about their stressful day, there's always a Karen lurking somewhere nearby, ready to make everyone's lives just a little bit harder. The retail world and service industry are no strangers to the obnoxious Karen who seemingly exists to abuse shift workers, and it seems like the plague has produced a new breed of Super Karens who complain to managers about anything and everything all while refusing to wear a face mask in the midst of a global pandemic.
For the essential workers out there who have had to continue dealing with crazy ass Karens, these memes and posts are for you. Thanks to the internet, the evil-doings of Karens are now very well-documented, and so we can roast Karen from the safety of our own homes.
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.
