money

It's insights like these that lead us to believe with an unshakable doubt that there are people in this world that should absolutely not have credit cards. Seriously, the kinds of encounters that the folks working for banks have with the world's most impressively clueless human beings are enough to leave you speechless. For another post along a similar vein, check out the dumbest financial advice that people have ever received. 

It's amazing how quickly stupid tasks become irrelevant the moment it starts costing the company money. The powers that be came down and told this part-timer that they'd have to check their email daily, so naturally, for this employee, it seemed like that should count on company time. For another one, here's a micromanager who demanded too many updates, so an employee fought back with even more updates.

There's something spectacular about witnessing the unadulterated audacity of absurd entitled people. Whether it's a bridezilla trying to bully a wedding photographer into working for free, a landlord who's baffled why they have to provide their tenants with working faucets, or just some guy who's trying to buy a brand new TV with a wallet full of monopoly money, it never seems to get old. Entitled people with their laughable boldness keep finding new ways to demand ridiculous crap.

What we have here is a tale as old as time itself. Some half brothers get obnoxiously greedy, fly too close to the sun, and pretty much melt their wings off to the tune of $158K. If they'd have simply been reasonable human beings and offered some sliver of understanding in regards to the circumstances of the inheritance that was so graciously left behind, they might've actually gotten their share of the money. But alas, they took the different, ill advised route. 

Just about everything is a little bit of a racket. Hell, if everything was sold at cost, there'd be no reason for anyone to run a business. It's when businesses use brand sway and deceitful practices to drive insane markups that things start to seem unfair and hairy. Even if you are spending a lot on movie theater sodas and designer eyeglasses, at least you're not following these bits of the dumbest financial advice people have gotten. On the other side of it, here are reckless uses of money that people didn't regret at all.

Every day it becomes more apparent that some folks live in a fantasy land where they can just flout the conventions of decency and demand free stuff. Entitled people with their absurd audacity will expect people to work for them for free, try to abuse the trust of strangers, and throw tantrums when they don't get what they want. There's no good way to deal with entitled people and their laughable boldness.

It's hard for many of us to consider spending an entire paycheck on a cake or an ice maker, but when you think of all the money you spend on things that you don't even remember, maybe it's worth it to have a pleasant memory. While these ended up being decent expenses, some people get some extremely bad financial advice that is irredeemable. It'd be nice to have a taste of these absurdly expensive things people witnessed. 

It feels weird knowing there are bosses out there who will want you to pay them for the opportunity to work. Or that there are customers out there who will try to return shoes three years after they bought them. It's rare stuff, but boy is it hard to wrap your head around entitled people and their demanding boldness.

For someone who's sure they're "going to be a big streamer," they don't seem to have a lock on how to pull down any worthwhile business relationships. It's hard to get inside the heads of entitled people with their absurd audacity, but something tells us it's like being in an iron cage filled with spider webs and screaming. Influencers should know that people don't want to be paid in exposure.

It's probably easier just to assume that literally any stranger trying to contact you for money is completely full of BS,  but this person went through the whole arduous process of trying to root out the truth, culminating in a link that made them realize the person was exactly as sketchy as they seemed. Sometimes people get more creative with scammers, like this person who trolled a scammer with made-up neighbor drama.

What a splendid little example of calling someone's bluff. This landlord was completely unhelpful and thought their threat would let them illegally keep their tenant's security deposit. After getting caught lying in court, this tenant had their ex-landlord eating their stupid words. People sometimes win against their landlords, like this guy who got contractual revenge on his landlord or this person who staged a coup d'etat on their terrible landlord.

If you know anyone who you haven't talked to in months, but is so entitled and laughably bold that they'd demand that you renew your subscription service on their behalf, go ahead and cancel that service. Entitled and absurd audacity can come from a family member, boss or stranger, and it never stops being aggravating and perplexing.

Siblings are inclined to help each other out in times of need, but when someone starts trying to take advantage of the situation, it moves into the territory of entitled goofs and their absurd demands. This dude's sister didn't have a very good strategy.

Man, the universe just really wants us Millennials to be poor for the rest of our lives, doesn't it? We were already poor AF as is, but now we're about to get a global Great Recession thrown in there too! At least we can all struggle together? Have some more memes for sad Millennials while we're at it!

When most people find themselves with garbage, they throw it away. But a select charismatic few of us will look at a broken hammer and say to themselves "someone will pay top dollar for this vintage, fixer-upper hammer." They will go on to try to sell dumb junk online. Does any of this unusual stuff ever sell? Who knows. At least someone tried.

"It's OK, funds. I'm insufficient too".   

And here's some funny tweets to take you mind off of all that.
