You probably know someone in your inner circle who is extremely hard on themselves. Some people were just conditioned from a young age to despise and fear failure to such an extent that it only ended up creating for trouble for them down the road. All that stress isn't good for anyone. So, it's nice to have threads like the one we have here, where you're able to read up on the times that people were able to bounce back after completely wiping out at their dream jobs.
We're not exaggerating when we say that 2020 made us all want to drink a little more. There are statistics to prove it. And now that 2021 is off to a great start we're kind of stuck in the same place. While alcohol might not be the answer to the year's problems or our life problems, there's something to be said about its ability to let us relax and enjoy a little peace and quiet. These drunk memes celebrate the fun sides of booze, as well as the unintentionally hilarious moments of regret that come with it.
Fashion changes over time; this is a universally acknowledged fact. And while some things come back into fashion a decade or two later, some fads are best forgotten and need to be buried deep in the fashion archives. Men's short shorts are one of those things, as proved by these vintage pictures from the 70s. Put the thighs away, gentleman. Thank you very much.
Physical work can place us in some compromising positions. It's probably not worth it to straddle two ladders in the wind or pull some OSHA-defying boldness just so you can finish a job 20 minutes faster, but it's everyone's personal choice to risk your life for a few dollars. What really sucks is when you are aware of basic safety standards and your boss says "listen buddy, we've been storing oily rags next to the fritzy boiler for years, so quit being a pansy. Now grease up your hands and plunge them into the crusher." So here's to misguided safety failures that OSHA would disapprove of.
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.
Another day, another toxic relationship posted on Reddit's infamous "Am I The A$$hole?" thread. This week, we got an abusive man-child on our hands. The original poster shared her tale about how she had already cooked a huge meal for her fiance and was eating her own food later on when he asked if she'd share her food with him. When she said no but offered him leftovers in the fridge, he spat on her food to claim it as his own. When she threw it out anyways, he demanded an apology for not giving it to him. So many red flags. It's pretty crystal clear who the a$$hole is here, but what do y'all think? Read on for more context.
This isn't the first time we've come across a rather gnarly landlord situation, and we're sure that it won't be the last time. There's something about far too many landlords in this world that ends up involving them getting all kinds of greedy. It's as if they make this sweeping assumption that their tenants don't know their rights, and won't do the necessary homework to ensure that those rights are upheld. Well, this tale of pro revenge that involves a landlord definitely has a happy ending. We love to see it.
There's been a lot of talk of impostor syndrome lately. That feeling of being a fraud and undeserving of praise is really, really common. It can be a struggle to convince oneself that you've actually earned your achievements. Well, it's come to our attention that there's a polar opposite of someone with impostor syndrome. And there are examples of these people all over the internet. You know the types. People who fancy themselves the reincarnation of Einstein and seize every opportunity to let both friends and strangers know. Needless to say, these people suck. But it's pretty damn to see them embarrass themselves onsocial media. And we've got 15 such instances here for you to roll your eyes at.
Another week, another family drama story. On an "Am I The A$$hole?" thread, the original poster talks about how her family won't allow her to come to the wedding if she brings her GF as her plus one. The reason behind the decision is the woman's future brother-in-law's homophobic family. The OP's family believes that the GF's presence will only create drama. Redditors unanimously decided that the original poster is not the a$$hole, but what do you think? Read on for more context.
ZooTampa welcomed a baby southern white rhino to the family. The calf was born during the overnight hours of Sunday, June 6, 2021. The female calf and her mom, 20 -year-old Alake, an experienced mother, are doing well. According to NBC News: "A Florida zoo announced the birth of a southern white rhino, the eighth to be born in Tampa as part of a plan to help the species. Officials at ZooTampa at Lowry Park said the baby was born to a 20-year-old rhino named Alake last week. The female calf has not been named yet, but both baby and mother are healthy and doing well."
"Alake was paired with the only adult male in the Tampa zoo, Ongava. Their calf will join the crash, or group of rhinos, in the coming weeks, zoo officials said. Visitors will be able to see the baby rhino in the new Expedition Wild Africa attraction, set to open soon." We are so happy to hear both that mom and baby are doing well, and that plans to help the species recover are working!
