Awkward

So, it's Valentine's Day. Today a lot of people are thinking about their relationship status and reminiscing over past dates that either make them smile or crawl in a little hole. On a first date, people want to feel calm, cool and collected. But it's just not always possible. An awkward first date doesn't cancel out the possibility of a second date, but it sure does not feel good in the moment.

You just never know who you might end up living next to. Moving into a new place is a stressful enough process as it is, but when you factor in the distinct possibility that you could end up living next to a monster who literally makes a mission out of destroying your garden's tomatoes, or being as loud as possible despite your complaints....the stress sweats can start. This AskReddit thread has people sharing the very worst of their nightmare neighbor conflict stories. 

There's no denying the fact that this wild world is packed with its fair share of absolute units and real life bosses. By bosses we mean those folks that seem like they have certain skills just maxed out at 100. Or, a real life boss moment could be when someone escalates an otherwise calm and docile environment into a complete chaotic, adrenaline-charged mess of a moment. Like those two bros that came in brandishing a 2222-card Yugioh deck. Talk about an eternal game with no end in sight. 

Man, it's got to be profoundly frustrating to be a tattoo artist in a day and age rife with entitled individuals like the one we have here. For whatever puzzling reason the kid in question thinks that it's totally chill to go and steal a tattoo artist's design, ask them for an edit, and then they have the audacity to question the artist's frustrated response. At that point it seems like the entitlement has clouded the individual's head to such an extent, we're not even sure that the typical reality check would get anything done. 

Wow, after reading through this glorious tale of pro revenge it would seem that this Karen translator was so aggressively clueless that she didn't even realize her job was pretty much useless. If one is able to lock down a paying gig that doesn't actually really carry any weight in a company's profitability, then it's probably wise to not stir up a fuss about someone else who's a big player for the company. 

The thing about crossing paths with a pathological liar is that they're so caught up in the process of keeping up with their various lies that at some point they seem to start believing them, themselves. It's both a disheartening and vaguely humorous situation to come across. On the one hand you can feel that compulsion to snap them out of their obvious game of lying to everyone they cross paths with, but you also don't want to be the truth-telling straw that broke the camel's back.

Gotta love how this bride says she doesn't want to be "that bride" and then proceeds to be exactly that bride. Weddings seem to have that uncanny knack for bringing out people's inner toxic perfectionist. Sometimes people like this bride can get so caught up in trying to make sure everything fits their vision for the perfect day, that they end up being way more insensitive than they'd ever normally be. We've got to hope that's the case for this bride. Check out some more wedding drama with this bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

Oh boy, the nerve on this one. It truly boggles the mind. We've got a Karen mom who expects someone that she met at a wedding to change their dog's name, because Karen wants the same name for her upcoming baby. Um. Wonder if she's aware that there are plenty of people in this world that share the same name. Also, wonder if she's aware that common human decency/social etiquette generally calls for not asking people to change their dog's, cat's, baby's names etc. 

Man, you'd think that the whole not evacuating for a hurricane on time couldn't be more stressful than it already is at surface level, but then you come across a story like this where a guy ends up having to shelter with lions. Turns out big cats really know how to stink up the place too. 

The feedback on whether or not it was reasonable for this bride to complain on Facebook about her wedding gift, seems to be pretty split up. Some folks feel like there were countless other more meaningful, even cheaper gifts that the bride's friend could've given her on her big day. Others feel like this was a gross display of indifference to a friend's momentous occasion. You be the judge. 

If there's one thing that seems glaringly obvious in these stories of weird days on the job for Walmart employees, it's that there's pretty much never a normal day on the job when you're working at Walmart. Also, people really need to stop using Walmart aisles as their own personal bathrooms. 

At first, you might be thrown off, cause it almost seems like they're not about to be an entitled, choosing beggar. In short time though, things escalate, and suddenly we have a choosing beggar showing their true face. They basically assumed that the very stranger helping them with computer tips, would also pay for the parts they recommended for purchase. Nope, that's not how it works. 

Man, this musician was horrendously entitled from the very start. After being told by the designer they'd reached out to that the rate was fixed at a firm $35/hr, they proceeded to lash back out with pure rudeness. Some entitled people in this world just refuse to accept the rejections they're rightfully dealt. For another case of a ridiculous choosing beggar, check out this choosing beggar that claimed a knife had the "wrong energy" about it, and wanted to return it.
