The feedback on whether or not it was reasonable for this bride to complain on Facebook about her wedding gift, seems to be pretty split up. Some folks feel like there were countless other more meaningful, even cheaper gifts that the bride's friend could've given her on her big day. Others feel like this was a gross display of indifference to a friend's momentous occasion. You be the judge. 

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.

Nothing quite warms the heart like a successfully executed pro revenge, but this particular example ended up being a saga of its own. A true delicious snack. You love to see some goodhearted people ultimately do right by grandpa. That's the good stuff, right there. 

Valentine's Day rolls around once a year to either throw the world's hopeful romantics into a lustful frenzy full of promise and loving gifts and positive energy, or it can push other folks into a misery-drenched state of loneliness unlike anything they normally experience on a daily basis. It's a highly commercialized "holiday." Many people end up digging deep into their bank accounts, and dishing out the big bucks on fancy meals that would otherwise never be considered. Obviously, this year's a bit of a curveball for everyone. Like, can you even get into a restaurant in the first place? And if you decide to go that route for the Valentine's Day date, is it really something that you're comfortable with considering the circumstances of this tumultuous time? Outside of that though, the process that can go into trying to get your special someone a meaningful gift can be a nerve-wracking one, riddled by self doubt. All this pressure can build up over whether or not you're actually getting something that they'll appreciate, or if you're just unknowingly digging yourself a deep hole because you failed to get them something that reflects how well you know them, and how much they mean to you.

Maybe, there's all this momentum around Valentine's Day because of the sea of sappy Rom Coms we have available at our disposal. Romantic movies can end up contributing toward this overriding narrative that you need someone to be happy, and if you end up with that special someone, you're obligated to provide them gifts on Valentine's Day. Who knows? To each their own. Everyone will naturally do it a little different.

With respect to this AskReddit thread though, we have people sharing the very worst of the Valentine's Day gifts that they've ever received. Can you imagine just being in the same room as someone who was receiving one of these gifts? The amount of awkward silence that must've ensued after some of these gift exchanges, must've been palpable. I mean, hey, you live and you learn. Sometimes you end up fully committing to a gift for your partner that you've deluded yourself into thinking they'll like, and not completely loathe. 

We can all fall prey to bouts of well intentioned confusion. If you're lucky you'll be able to get away with a wipeout on a Valentine's Day gift by riding the "it's the thought that counts" wave. Because at the end of the day, it really is. If you have an agreement with your partner where you guys are game with giving each other Valentine's Day gifts, then it's really up to the both of you to not be too critical of one another when the gift exchange part of the process rolls around. Or, maybe the silly banter and roasting of each other is one of the funnest parts of the whole situation. All in all, we hope that these Valentine's Day gift fails make you feel a little bit better about any unfortunate moments you've experienced on Valentine's Day.

Being able to squawk about your perceived achievements and intelligence is one of the unfortunate byproducts of social media. It's given a chance for Brain-Tyrants who believe they're literal geniuses to spread their wings and fly into the ceiling fan of self-congratulation. Thanks for clogging up the internet, you mistaken brain-lords.

We're not sure what Karen was thinking on this one. She took what was otherwise a low key coupon designed to help anyone in need, and turned it into a whole situation where she was paying even more money in legal fees than she ever could've imagined in the first place. A definite loss. Check out some more juicy Karen content with this story about Karen threatening an employee with a write-up and getting a lesson in management.

This isn't the first time that we've seen some neighbors end up acting like inconsiderate human beings, and we're certain that it won't be the last. You just never really know if you're going to end up living next to a waking nightmare or not. Or, if you don't end up with some terrible neighbors, maybe you'll end up having to deal with a lousy landlord. From there, the ball can end up being in your court, and it's your decision whether or not it's time for the pro revenge. 

I can't be the only one that's wondering, HOW WAS BRENDA?! In all seriousness, let's get a round of applause for this dude's friend fighting the good fight. Nothing quite warms the heart like a scammer learning a rightful lesson. 

At its best, a comments section is a place for people to discuss new ideas, share interesting stories, and tell each other jokes. At its worst, it kinda looks something like this. Egotistical braggarts tearing each other down for no reason other than to make themselves feel something. Boy it happens a lot.

It's one thing to inconvenience your friends and family, but then to have the unimaginable audacity to steal from them on top of that? Utter insanity. Hopefully you never find yourself crossing paths with a bridezilla, and certainly not a bridezilla that's anywhere remotely close to this one. 

Check out some more juicy bridezilla drama with this bridezilla who wanted to redo a wedding, got rejected, and proceeded to pitch a massive fit. All the yikes. 

For starters, this "big YouTuber's" credentials really seem like they could be nothing more than a work of fiction. On top of that though, they have the audacity to issue threats to this artist after being rejected. What is it with some of these "influencers" and their toxic entitlement that leads them to believe they can just pay for other people's hard work, with exposure? That ain't how it works.

Sometimes dates end up being completely disastrous. We're talking situations that feel like literal waking nightmares. The kinds of gnarly life moments that you'd just as much forget ever happened. These particular dates absolutely fit the bill for that.
