Nobody likes a boss who arbitrarily makes up reasons to berate their employees just because they're having a bad day and feel like taking it out on someone. When redditor u/bear-mc showed up to work wearing totally normal khaki shorts due to the hot weather, their boss used it as an opportunity to reprimand them. The boss demanded that OP “follow the dress code to the book," and OP complied…maliciously.

Nobody understands me

We've got a fresh hot list of memes for one Mr. Rand Om? Is there a Randy Om in the room? Randolph Om, are you present? No? What a waste. Coming up with clever and funny pun names are one of the few instances where I find the art of punning vaguely tolerable. My friends and I keep a list of different pun names we think of and they range from incredible to abominable: Collin Response, Jaqueline Turn, Miss Taken Identity, Patty O'Furniture, Heather Interior, Cathy Lick. The list goes on and on. P…

People who think they're very smart

Growing up in Brooklyn we did a lot of walking . That walking happened on tree-lined streets and along garden-filled blocks. Some homes just had planters of petunias and left it at that. Others manicured their tiny lawns, adding tiny Japanese maples within their gates, and prickling rose bushes that (if we were lucky) would bloom twice or even thrice a year. My mom would quiz us on plant names, and if we were lucky, we'd catch glimpses of exotic plants inside peoples solariums, or make a stop a…

You don't meet too many people with rabbits here in New York City. Which is kind of a shame, because little kids love those critters. I remember a friend of mine who had a rabbit named Sonoma. As you can imagine, her father worked in the wine industry. The rabbit was not kind. So while it may feel like we missed out, it's probably a practical choice for parents to avoid the floppy-eared beasts when searching for a kids' pet. That said, we can't get enough of the critters. They're cute, they're…

Today is October 11th; the birthday of our favorite red-headed twins (sorry Fred and George) Hallie and Annie. They discovered they were twins through finding out they had the same birthday and connecting a picture of their mom and dad, but somehow not through looking at each other for 10 seconds. Lindsay Lohan is truly the queen of October. Mean Girls Day happened October 3rd and October 11th marks the birth of both of the characters she so masterfully played when she was just a pre-teen. Thes…

The appropriate question isn't 'how' funny are these memes, it's 'when' funny are these meme?!...

Aw shit, here we go again. It's Tuesday and we're back in the Lord of the Rings groove, but if we're being honest, we never left. And that's largely because the series has been incredibly present in our lives with the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. And as much as we lamented the series (and its Amazon ties), we simply cannot stop tuning in every Friday for a fresh episode. Lately, the show has been ramping up the action and intrigue, which has left us feeling even more ho…

Pure chaos. That's how much of the internet seems to me, especially lately. The other night I got that notification about Shinzo Ab e as I found out that one of my memes about something lewd went viral. I cared more about the latter, but that's also because of my politics. Anyway, there's been nothing but good news here in New York as we brace ourselves for yet another sh*ty wave of the newest C-word, and it's time to get really comfortable with the weirdness of the worldwide web. There's no be…

Having a blast or wasting one's time on the world wide web may seem like an easy feat for many internet enthusiasts, but it's really more complicated than one might believe. Boredom has a funny way of diminishing our abilities to seek out intelligent activities, pastimes, or hobbies. And our attention spans are more pathetic than they've ever been before. I swear, it's nearly impossible for me to make it through a forty-minute television episode without feeling antsy, let alone attempt to watch…

Blink-182 is back, and they've got a lot of news. They are going on a massive world tour over the next year, they're releasing new music soon, and Tom is back in the band. After 30 years, the kings of pop punk are still going at it. I might not have been a teen during the golden age of Blink-182, but their music definitely helped to fuel my teen angst to new heights. I didn't know what an enema was a the time, but it sure wasn't going to stop me. I even dabbled in some of their music that was r…

How could they

A fun fact about me is that not only am I gay , but I'm also a homosexual. That was my go-to line for coming out of the closet when I was a teenager because I thought taking a comedic approach to tell people about my gayness would ease the awkwardness of the whole ordeal. Spoiler alert: it did not. October 11th is National Coming Out Day, celebrating queer people owning their truth and openly sharing their sexualities. I'll be honest with y'all: I've been coming out for almost nine years, and a…

He wasn't camera ready

Writer Bijan Stephen went viral yesterday after asking Twitter users to share some dumb ideas they think would actually make the world a better place. The response was impressive. Most suggestions, like forcing people to work in the service industry, are actually quite intelligent and valid. Those that aren't still veer towards clever and hilarious. We've put together our favorites and hope the thread keeps moving. Lord knows this world needs improvement.
