If you're someone who gets satisfaction out of seeing slightly misguided or straight up rude people get owned by the reasonable and informed, we've got a load of screenshots from r/murderedbywords that capture these rare moments. Lately there's been an influx of misinformation spreading about the new Covid-19 vaccines. Of course, it's always a good idea to scrutinize anything you're putting into your body, but some people seem to just make stuff up on the fly and tweet about it like it's proven fact. Well thankfully, there are professionals out there who are always ready to school the ignorant.

Weddings are sold to us as one of the best days of our lives. Unfortunately, the preparation that goes into them can turn out to be some of the worst. For a day that's supposed to be filled with happiness and love, it sure seems to bring out the exact opposite in a lot of people. Otherwise normal women become raging Bridezillas, freaking out over dress codes and having meltdowns over gift registries. The sense of entitlement that is gained for the sake of a ring on their finger can be completely off the charts.
One prime example was this ex-bride-to-be, who took to Facebook to cuss out her former fiance, maid of honor and most of her wedding invitees after they refused to cough up tens of thousands of dollars for her dream wedding. While there might not be that many people out there that get this obsessed over a single day, unfortunately the wedding crazies are an all-too-common occurrence.

Pretty much anyone who's worked a customer-facing job can tell you that people are the absolute worst. For every normal interaction you have, it's guaranteed it will be balanced out by someone else being a complete and utter jerk for no reason.
Some working environments prove worse than others, though. On Twitter, @michaelharriot went into detail about the worst job he's ever had. To no one's surprise, it was in retail. The story that follows is an outrageous ride through stock mishaps, organizational chaos and worst of all, entitled Karen customers who take things way too far. Repeat after me: there is no $38 shirt on earth worth getting this mad for.
During more "normal times" we relish seeing restaurant owners call out unreasonable customers for bullshit reviews. Now, while restaurant workers and bartenders are risking their lives to cater to entitled people, we find that we relish the takedowns even more. Today we come to you with a classic Karen tale from Hucknall in the UK. This Karen, whose real name is Jo, took to Facebook to express her dismay at being kicked out of a restaurant after spending £700 on a birthday celebration at the venue.
The restaurant quickly responds - correcting her lies (the party spent about a quarter of that) and calling her group out for their drunken and entitled behavior. It's an expert takedown that requires only facts to make the Karen (and her entire family) seem out of line. And we think you'll find it pretty entertaining.
To most who use it, the Nextdoor social network is a place for neighbors within a community to chat about anything relevant to their little microcosm. But when all the funny bits are taken out of context and curated by saints like @bestofnextdoor, the app feels more like an unintended comedy factory. We're so grateful that @bestofnextdoor exists that we're paying it forward with this collection of our favorites from the gold account's recent posts.

Is there any bird out there that has the same cold-blooded criminal instinct as the seagull? Sure, magpies love taking shiny things and cuckoos get away with infanticide, but nothing can compare to the insult that is a gull stealing an ice cream clean out of your hand.
As a species, they definitely have made a name for themselves by being greedy jerks. Sometimes, though, the lengths they will go to satisfy that greed have to be applauded.
Recently, one bird has been admired by British Twitter users for going the extra mile and indulging in a little shoplifting. Casually walking into a grocery store and stealing a sandwich, a bystander captured the heist in all its glory and pointed out that it had forgotten to complete the meal with a snack and drink.
The video also captures two witnesses to the crime. One person wants to help their feathered friend open the door it is struggling with, while another appears to be a shameless Karen all too happy to chase the gull for its ill-gotten food. While they might have totally opposing stances on bird-related theft, they confirm what the rest of the video already makes clear: this is a seagull's world, and we're just living in it.
One might think the option to order Starbucks online would make the job a little easier for the baristas—minimizing awkward miscommunication in a fast-paced work environment has got to be an improvement, right? Well, it turns out the absence of social interaction in online orders has also removed the embarrassment that comes with ordering an obnoxious Frappuccino with a million extra ingredients. So not only have those annoying orderers continued their cursed behavior, they're now emboldened to go even further. @ProjectJosiee is one unfortunate Starbucks employee who tweeted a photo of an obscene mobile order for a customer called Edward. The thread almost instantly became a support group for traumatized baristas who shared their own snapshots of deranged Starbucks and Dunkin' concoctions. We've put together some of the best replies of the hilarious and cursed thread. And if you're one of those '5+ ingredient' customers, remember to be generous with that tip.
Hi-diddly-ho, neighborino! We're back with another round of gems from @middleclassfancy, a satirical meme account that hilariously points out and often exaggerates all the quirks and stereotypes of Middle American suburbia. These memes poke fun at everything from banal office life, to your cargo shorts-wearing grill master dad. Scroll along for the best recent posts from @middleclassfancy.

For every fool with a stupid statement, there's a savage ready to destroy them with witty words. We love seeing an air-brained comment get absolutely burned on the internet and we've got it all covered in this list (2020 style) with anti-vaxxer karens, facepalm-worthy gaffs, and redditors roasting redditors. Enjoy these screenshots that immortalized nineteen mortifying moments forever.
It's no secret that any given social network can quickly become toxic, because wherever there are human beings, there are idiots with unfathomable blind confidence in the bullsh*t they spout. r/insanepeoplefacebook is a pretty cursed subreddit where you can find and endless supply of flat-earthers, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and bigots caught in the wild posting their nonsense and commenting when no one asked. If you're in a mood to feel worse about humanity, we've got a bunch of cringey posts for you from the worst of social media.

Some people never learn that if they say something stupid on the internet, chances are someone out there is going to destroy them with words, screenshot the exchange, and then immortalize that moment forever on Reddit. Not gonna lie, we love to see it. Who doesn't enjoy coming across a clever comment or comeback so spicy that you feel the urge to virtually high-flve the OP?
We've got a quality batch of witty retorts to stupid statements and those funny comments that get tucked away in long threads.
Congratulations on making it through another brutal 2020 Monday. As a reward for simply managing to exist during these bleak times, we've put together a hefty batch of memes with your name on it. They're dumb, they're funny, they're relatable, and they're here to improve your mood. What are you waiting for?
Retail workers have undoubtedly been one of the most under-appreciated class of workers since the dawn of mass consumerism. Being polite and helpful to rude customers all day for a wage that barely covers living expenses is soul-sucking enough when there isn't a series of commercial holidays intersecting with a global pandemic. Since the dreaded Black Friday is upon us, we thought we'd share a handful of retail horror stories from the subreddit r/TalesFromRetail for all the brave wage warriors out there. You're not alone and we feel for you.
While the rest of the world gets back to daily life as usual, America continues to plummet into the depths of the pandemic with more and more cases every day in certain states. And much of this is thanks to the people who refuse to wear masks. So thanks y'all, we'll be stuck in this sh*t for the next year because of you! Now have some memes for smart people who do choose to wear masks!
