"I thought about getting custom plates"

These people need to grow up

As a non-driver I don't expect to know much about the world of driving and automobile ownership. But there are some things I inherently understand. For example, I know that not enough people employ turn signals, and way too many people employ high-beam lights. Another thing I “get” is that leasing a car means you're essentially renting it long-term. Unfortunately for one TikToker , this knowledge eluded him, and he's now getting roasted to a crisp on Twitter after sharing a video about his shoc…

Interviewing for jobs can be such a thankless experience. In this day and age, it's almost guaranteed that hundreds of people are applying for the same gig that you are - and if you know anything about statistics and probability, the odds are (generally) not in your favor. Unless you're a nepotism baby, of course. But for the rest of us, it's hard knowing you might not be a company's top pick, or even their third, for that matter. But the last thing you want is to actually witness a conversatio…

Being gullible can be something of a curse . As a person who, sadly, falls into that category, I understand the struggle. Most recently, a friend somehow convinced me that newts and salamanders were the “original gummies." He claimed that when cured properly, the critters were satisfyingly chewy, and served as inspiration for Haribo and other gummy candies we know and love. I only found out he was lying a few days later. Thank goodness I didn't tell anyone else this incredibly false fact. The w…

Oh, the humanity

Yikes.

What is it with mother-in-laws who insist on wearing white to their kid's wedding? Is it rooted in some twisted Oedipal sense of rivalry with the bride, or is it just that some people need to be the center of attention at all times? On the flip side, there seems to be an epidemic of dudes who show up to their own wedding looking like they're about to do a kickflip at the local skate park. But the occasional outfit faux pas is a minor infraction compared to some of the heinous choices people mak…

What's the most cringe-worthy thing you've ever seen out in the wild? Like as an immediate witness. Surely, you have at least one experience that was so cringe that it's seared into your memory, right? Maybe you saw someone's prom-posal go terribly wrong? Maybe someone trying way too hard to be cool? Maybe just a really bad presentation by one of your peers? For me, it was the weird kid in middle school who performed his original rap at the talent show. It was a diss track of sorts, but you cou…

Ouch

This is why Photoshop tutorials exist.

Everybody has had a bad haircut at some point in their lives. My worst hair moment was when I stuck gum behind my ear because I wanted to emulate my idol, Violet Beauregarde, from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory . Naturally, the gum got stuck in my hair, and I didn't tell anybody. Why would I? If my mom or grandma found out I got gum stuck in my hair, they'd be super bummed out. I took matters into my own hands and decided to cut out the gum myself. I'm 98% sure that my grandma noticed wh…

Everyone gets some sick satisfaction from overhearing someone talking smack about you, especially someone you've been suspicious about from the jump. When someone talks about you behind their back, they have all the power. However, when you overhear the sh*t talking, you get some of the power back and are at least able to defend yourself against their claims about you. This Uno Reverse Card puts the sh*t-talker in an awkward position because you were never really supposed to know what they felt…

I blame genetics

Wait, we have a test today?
