cringe
In the age of Pinterest and YouTube tutorials, many people have turned to DIY to easily and creatively make gifts, decorations, and crafts in their spare time, or as a way to generate income. We're all about this. But some people, some deranged individuals with delusions of grandeur, opt to make absolutely horrifying creations that would shake Martha Stewart to her waspy aesthetic'd core. And guess what? We freakin' love it. We've put together some of the more cursed examples for you to feast your eyes on, and also to potentially ruin your appetite.
These cringey pics will boost even the most diminished of egos. From unfortunately fedora'd lads to girls who can't figure out the very important difference between cologne and COLON, the schadenfreude here is off the charts. Sit back, relax, and shake your damn head at these truly touched souls.
Scrolling through r/trashy is a supremely masochistic activity. You get to see some seriously gross stuff and lose faith in humanity, all at the same time. But if you like pain and suffering, these photos of morally bankrupt people and super tackiness may just get your rocks off.
Every now and then we see a photo that boils our blood and makes us shake with anger. The r/mildlyinfuriating is a mecca for these kinds of images. People share disturbing images from real life and from the depths of the internet that will get your grinds gearing in no time. After all, it's better to feel anger than the numbness we feel most of the damn time. Whether your mildly infuriating poison is food-related (well-done steak) or tech-related (nobody actually wants sticky keys turned on) we're willing to bet that something in here will piss you off.
Twitter user @fillegrossierreminded us this weekend that even the most innocent of direct messages with strangers can lead to some seriously unhinged jealousy. After sharing an anecdote about a dude's girlfriend getting mad at their dms about seltzer, other people chimed in to share completely unnecessary reactions to innocent messages or even automated game notifications. The insanity (and insecurity) may surprise you.
If you're craving a little more edge than you usually get from memes, these unsettling pics will probably satisfy your horrific cravings. From offensive takes on real issues (how little money teachers make) to horribly tasteless jokes about a father's death, these memes have the extra dash of spice that'll make you shake your head in a good way.
Not everyone can be an expert on the Star Wars prequels, and that's okay. Just leave that to us (or the memes, anyway). This frustrated boyfriend was just trying to figure out exactly which prequel his girlfriend was talking about, to hilarious results. But hey, at least she tried?
Sometimes it blows our minds to see how popular tattoos are. People are covering their bodies with near-indelible inks, not wondering if they'll change their mind, or if the tats will look good later in life. Even worse? That they pay decidedly untalented and unintelligent people to ink these permanent pieces on their bodies. These cringeworthy tattoos may serve as a cautionary tale for anyone who was thinking about getting tatted on a whim. Be very, very careful.
If you didn't already know, we're fans of bizarre, nonsensical humor. These illustrations by Chris (Simpsons Artist) kind of remind us of Obvious Plant, so you know we had to share them with you.
Be sure to check him out on Instagram! We really want to know where he comes up with this stuff...
Dating is hard as is, but it's even worse when you encounter a total psycho who just can't take a hint. This guy was obviously thirsty so he hit up a woman he went on one date with over a year ago. You can probably guess how that turned out!
Another day, another example of insane entitlement that makes us want to scream. There's very little as insulting as being told that "exposure" is a decent substitute for monetary payment, and this fine gentleman seems willing to die defending the fairness of free labor in exchange for a networking opportunity. Fortunately, the recipient of his texts stood their ground and called him on his bullshit. Giving people this kind of hell is the only chance we have of changing this absolutely insane mindset.
Yesterday, the person in front of me at the coffeeshop insisted on paying for my dirty chai latte. One of those sweet random acts of kindness that restores your faith in humanity for at least a little while. These pics, social media posts, and memes will probably have the opposite effect on your brain. Instead of instilling hopeful optimism, these posts (and the people behind them) absolutely terrify us. And even so, they're entertaining as hell. We can't stop thecringeso we may as well enjoy it.
While holidays like Christmasobnoxiously push capitalism and materialism, there's something unarguably nice about receiving a thoughtful gift from a person you love. These gifts, and some of the stories behind them, do not fall into this category. From dead birds to bags of hair, these anecdotes from Redditors are guaranteed to make you appreciate those socks your mom insists on giving you every year.
There are few things worse in this world than people who feel entitled to the attention or love of others. These people are even worse when they go on bitter tirades, or even resort to violence, when they don't get what they want. These "nice guys" (and girls) are completely representative of people feeling like they are owed something for behaving in a kind and thoughtful manner. So we definitely feel zero remorse calling them out.
It's like clockwork. Winter's bleakness recedes, and everyone who cuffed up for the cold nights is starting to feel that itch. It's officially breakup season. These memes are designed to help get you out of the misery hole and back on market to take advantage of those sexy summer flings.
If these memes aren't doing the trick, these ex-related memes might give you the spiteful solace you crave. If you're still coupled, well, here are some boring memes about your successful love. Enjoy.
