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.
Every now and then I'll be walking around, minding my own business, going about my boring life, when someone does something so overwhelmingly stupid I need at least a few minutes to recover. It's so easy to forget that we share the world with stupid people. These moments and photos are a reminder that you should never give people too much credit. They'll disappoint you.
We love laughing at cringey design fails, but some of these are so wild we can't help but assume that people lost their jobs over them. From extreme (and accidental) sexual innuendoto terrible word placement, these fails are pretty much guaranteed to get a reaction out of you. And might even pique your curiosity.
While we realize that for many people education is a luxury, some of these errors are just too ridiculous to to admonish. It's pretty clear from thesecringey pics that we either need to invest more money in our schools, or work harder to make autocorrect work for everyone,
These extremely amusing headlines are a far cry from investigative journalism, but we are definitely completely engaged. It's amazing to see the kind of crap that slid by the attention of "editors" during the heyday of print. These headlines will make you laugh, face-palm, and maybe even smile at their sheer stupidity. Happy reading!
