'Our HOA got sued for having a homeowner remove their wheelchair ramp': Top HOA Stories of the Week (April 17, 2024)

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/17/2024 - 05:00

Why would anyone want to be an HOA board member? That's just a one-way ticket to immediately becoming one of the most disliked people in the neighborhood. 

I'm convinced that some people in this world would rather be in the most unnecessary, fake position of power, even if it meant making all the enemies. We feel this even at a young age when classmates try to hog the playground and assume some sort of faux position of power. This also applies to the annoying teacher's pets in school and your high school class president. 

Well, unfortunately, this dynamic has managed to graduate to the homeowner level, but who isn't surprised here? Bossy people are going to find any way imaginable to be bossy at all stages of life. That is certainly not going to change any time soon, at least as long as these HOAs exist. Keep scrolling below for these top HOA horror stories.

Clever employee beats micromanager at her own play of power, micromanager caves to employees request to work from home

Fail Blog - Wed, 04/17/2024 - 04:00

There are a few key elements to take into account when searching for a job. The salary is undoubtedly the first, followed by the employees in second place, and the boss in third. 

The story below is an account of a frustrated and underappreciated employee. The Original Poster (OP) had worked for the same business for a considerable amount of time. OP enjoyed his job and loved his manager. However, as luck would have it, OP's manager resigned to pursue greater opportunities, and the manager appointed to take over for the amazing boss, was completely different from the prior manager in terms of her attitude, mannerisms, and strategic thinking.

So, be sure to read the story below if you're curious about what happened when the new hire showed up and whether or not OP succumbed to her ridiculous play of power! After you've finished reading, don't forget to check out the story of the mechanic who, after receiving orders to level the field 'no matter what', bulldozes an entire field and destroys army infrastructure!

Pet Owners Build $12,000 Fence So Their Cats Can Roam Outside, Internet Warns Them Fluffy Felines Will Escape Anyway

LOL Cats - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 20:00

Cats are fierce, agile critters, and if they want to get somewhere, you can bet they will find a way. That begs a few questions…

Is there a fence that cats won't be able to jump? Or is it not a worthy investment? What if the cat is old, chubby, or disabled? Is 6ft enough, or do you need 12? These are some things to think about when you happen to have a cat who likes your backyard. One person took to r/cats to share the fence they built for a whopping $12,000. They obviously care a lot about their cats and want to invest in their happiness. They uploaded some adorable pictures of their fluffy felines who were overjoyed, roaming around the backyard and practically smiling at the camera. But people were quick to chime in with their opinions, stating that this fence would not keep the cats inside the yard. Scroll down, you be the judge.

Then, check out these kindhearted farmers who adopted kittens and gave them a great life on their land.

Awwdventurous Cat Sets on a Meowtastic Mission to Explore the Sea and Uncovers a Secret Pawssion for Surfing

LOL Cats - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 19:00

How can you tell if a cat is an outdoor or an indoor catto? Well, you would assume that much like people, cats should be pretty clear with what they want and do not want to do. But unsurprisingly, cats like to make their hoomans' life as difficult as possible when it comes to figuring out what they like to do. 

We adopted our cat from the street, so she knows what the outside looks like, but after we adopted her, she never showed much interest in going back out again. She was perfectly happy being inside, so we just assumed she was an indoor type of catto. But lately, she has been trying to get a peek out the front door every time we come in or out of the house, which made us think she might want to explore the outdoors a bit. So we got her a special leash, and even a carrier in case she just wants to chill while we take her from place to place. However, as soon as we stepped out with her, she started screaming and crying and nothing we did calmed her down, she just wanted to return home. So yeah, not an outdoor cat.

The van-life cat in this sweet video is definitely outdoorsy and loves to try new things, like surfing and enjoying the sea. He is more adventurous than most hoomans we know.

30+ DIY blunders that are alright just as long as you don't look hard enough (April 16, 2024)

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 16:00

Sometimes in life, you give something your best shot, and sometimes that's still not enough. And that's just the way it goes. You're not going to be good at everything you try, and—heck, who is good at something on the first try anyway? Being good at something isn't always what it's about, which is something that we tend to forget in this era of side hustling and generally monitoring and capitalizing on everything we do. 

As Kurt Vonnegut was (supposedly)  told, by his (supposed) own account, when he was 15 years old, "I don't think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you've got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them."

And those are some words to live by. Of course, there are times when being good at something is important; those times tend to occur when safety is of concern… especially when you're endangering other people's safety along with your own. Yeah, doing and trying different things makes you an interesting person, but like the people in the collection of posts below, it might not be for the reasons you're expecting. These posts were gathered (mostly) from a popular online community in which users share various different hacks, bodges, and other DIY monstrosities they've seen online and in real life that are "mint" as long as you "squint."

'There is no way': Pokemon inspired baby-names start dispute between friend and expectant mother

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 14:00

A little bit of fandom-inspired baby naming has caused a rift in this friend group. 

In the past, some parents would test out potential baby names by yelling them out the front door a few times. (Parents used to call their kids home for dinner while the kids were out in the neighborhood playing with friends). If you felt weird shouting the name out the door, you'd know that wasn't the right moniker for your baby. 

The modern-day equivalent might include a few more stop-gaps. You should absolutely Google your baby's new name, just in case that name has already been taken by someone unsavory. And you could also consider what happens when you type your kiddo's name. As this person shared, their friend wants to name their kid after a Pokemon… and the name autocorrects to "respiratory." Whoops! 

Some commenters noted that even if you're a diehard Pokemon fan, there are humans in the show that you could name your kid after! Ash, Jesse, Brock, or May are all pretty normal names for kids. Even though your kids Pokemon name might sound cute while they're a little baby, by the time they're old enough to explain their name to other kids, they'll be known as the "Pokemon kid" everywhere they go. Then, they'll grow up and start dating, going to job interviews, and just living life as a 30-year-old named after a Pokemon. Well-meaning as it might be, you just know these two kiddos are going to change their names to something inconspicuous, like Zach and Rita, after a lifetime of Pokemon jokes.

Top 20 Unintentionally Hilarious Signs of the Week (April 16, 2024)

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 13:00

Life is full of surprises, changes, and unintentionally hilarious signs. People often say if you look carefully enough, there is beauty and levity everywhere. That may be true depending on your perspective and mentality, but one could also amend that statement to say that if you look carefully enough, you will find joy in humanity. Today when we say humanity, we specifically are referring to man's capacity for human error. Nowhere is that more obvious than man-made signs.

These signs could be found on a highway, outside a store, on a menu, or even a post-it note in your office. Regardless of whatever type of sign you're dealing with, if a human made it, there is a chance you will come across a laughable mistake or some kind of dramatic irony. The humor we experience when we come across these errors reminds us that even the signs we make that are intended to enforce rules can be unintentionally hilarious.

20+ People who are struggling to sell mirrors

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 12:00

How does one photograph a mirror? It's not hard if you use your imagination, like these folks did.

Maybe you're thinking to yourself, "Ha! How hard could it be to photograph a mirror? Just point your phone or camera and snap away. Duh." Mmm okay sure, in theory, that can work. But go ahead and try to photograph the nearest mirror to you, and see how well you do at the task. Chances are, you are in the photo. The room around you and all the clutter it contains are caught in the picture as well. The only way to get yourself out of the photo is to find just the right angle… and that doesn't really show off the actual mirror very well. So then, seller, how do you proceed?

Check out all of the options below. Some people try to camouflage themselves with blankets. Others grab a nearby friend for a helping hand. And we even have one repeat seller who brings their pug along for each picture! It's a delightful look at the funny and sweet nature of people who are just trying to sell things online, even if they're not 100% sure how to do it.

Infidelity at the best of times is hardly forgivable, but to cross the sacred line of fluffy feline marriage and impregnate your mistress such that she gives birth to a litter full of cats that look nothing like their father is a line that few should ever cross. However, this plucky, or simply single brain celled, orange cat went ahead and did it anyway. And today's spicy cat video captures the dramatic and spicy moment when the cheater and the cheated on cats meet, resulting in quite the telenovela-esque ending, which we will not spoil for you here.

And what better way is there to let a few moments of the working day slip on by, than getting to sit down and watch all the delicious tea get spilled in front of you. It is certainly more interesting than the drama your office Karen whipped up this morning over the spilled coffee in the communal kitchen.

'It is my turn to be selfish': Top 15 wedding debacles featuring bridezillas, entitled couples, and needy family members

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 11:00

Not every wedding is a dream come true. In fact, rarely can events that simultaneously cause so much stress and anxiety result in a blissful moment. At the end of the day, much of the reasoning behind this is our own fault. Culturally, we put way too much emphasis on the need to have the perfect time at your wedding while making both parties equally happy. It's an impossible task, so why do we keep doing this to ourselves?

These folks understand all too well that weddings are just as likely to spin out of control as they are to go your way. Unfortunately, those involved discovered this reality after the fact. Some of these fiascos include a kid who refused to attend the wedding in anything other than a lion's outfit, a couple who insisted all guests give gifts over $250, and a guy who arranged for a literal llama to be present at his sister's wedding. Is that not the ultimate revenge?
