Reddit

Remember being an emo tween/teenager? Unfortunately, we do too. Listening to sad songs on repeat. Thinking we our first school relationships were "forever." Posting attention-seeking messages to social media, hoping someone notice all the pain. While the depression was often very real, there's a painfully cringey- and amusing - aspect to people who wear their hearts on their sleeve on the internet. Don't believe us? Scroll down and brace yourself for some serious discomfort.

Man, these incompetent scammers just keep on coming right out of the woodwork. In this case, it sounds like the scammer was in way over their head from the start. On top of that, they'd clearly overplayed their scam to such a point that it was just going to be too easy to rightfully shut them down. Hence, the payment request and what we'd imagine was a very surprised and displeased scammer. 

Ever see a meme or tweet that manages to spit truth in the most roundabout way possible? Well, r/technicallythetruth is filled with funny tidbits that do just that. From punny yet accurate memes, to humorously observant tweets, this gallery gives you ample and amusing opportunities to say "Well, they've got a point."  

Talk about some pathological lying. This Karen sounds like just a bit of a nightmare to end up working with. And after she gets herself fired from her old job she has the audacity to list her old employer (that she screwed over) as a reference? Someone's got to give Karen the reality check moment that not showing up to work has consequences, and her ridiculous storytelling is completely transparent. Check out some more juicy Karen content with this story about how a bridezilla Karen ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

Unfortunately, many of us have found ourselves confronted with the daunting predicament that is realizing you're in an absolute nightmare of a class. Sometimes, it's really just the sheer lousiness of the teacher that can end up ruining a class that you'd otherwise love. The following recollections from students that realized they were in terrible classes should be used as some kind of instruction manual to help you avoid the classes that could be your ultimate undoing. 

TGIF, y'all! We are back with another healthy serving of the week's best dank memes, carefully plucked from the hallowed halls of Reddit. These memes range from spicy to dumb and relatable, but they're all pretty amusing. And we promise this batch isn't filled with mentions of politics. If memes can't distract us from this hell, we don't know what can.

Man, you'd think that the whole not evacuating for a hurricane on time couldn't be more stressful than it already is at surface level, but then you come across a story like this where a guy ends up having to shelter with lions. Turns out big cats really know how to stink up the place too. 

Most everyone has that one button that when pushed, basically brings their blood to a boil instantaneously. Maybe some of these will hit painfully close to home. You might even find yourself grinding your teeth in frustration, halfway through reading this, without even realizing it. 

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.

Nothing melts our icy hearts like reading a story about a driver having to deal with some road rager that couldn't keep their stuff together, for like a minute (if that), and ends up being the butt end of a petty revenge. It's a beautiful thing, really. A lost art form. 

Everyone has their breaking point, and when some people hit theirs they decide to engineer and execute acts of professional revenge. Take the brother in this story for instance: he was fed up with a travel insurer that just wouldn't make things right on a rather staggeringly pricey trip. Well, he was certainly able to teach them a lesson. 

Oh man, the look on that choosing beggar of a coworker's face must've been more delicious than any kind of Thanksgiving dinner. This guy addressed an unappreciative, office bully in just the kind of way that makes it deserving of a petty revenge medal. 

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the times that egotistical people got reminded that they "have no power here." Well, the thread isn't all egomaniacs. Sometimes, it's a case of someone literally not having power. Like the homie that couldn't pay his electricity bill because he couldn't access the internet he needed to get the job done. It can be a deeply satisfying experience to watch someone who was power tripping all over the place get put in necessary check. 

What's a 'shower thought?' It's a fleeting morsel of wisdom that pops into your brain out of nowhere when you're doing something meditative, like showering or trying to fall asleep. Doing an activity that clears the head is kind of like making room for all the delightful randomness your brain is capable of. r/Showerthoughts is one of the best places to consume these clever ideas in bulk, and we've gathered a handful of the sub's latest highlights. Enjoy these thoughts that might cause your brain to do a double take.

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. 

Man, we've seen our fair share of lovers' quarrels, and this one is certainly full of its own kind of ridiculous behavior. We have a boyfriend who seems like he's completely hooked on the gaming, and won't stop no matter what he hears. The girlfriend in question asks the folks of Reddit whether or not she's in the wrong for cutting him off like she did. Seems like she had no other choice.
