'You dug that hole yourself’: Contractor works on resident's property without permission, creating damage that costs $100,000

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 10:00

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So if one messes things up, one is probably going to have to face the consequences, that is simply how the world works, although there aren't many people who actually live by those rules.

Many people in this Reddit story had to face the consequences of their actions, and not all of them did such a great job. First, there was the terrible neighbor who started the whole drama simply by being a terrible neighbor, but also because he ordered a contractor to to work on a property that wasn't his. Then, there was the contractor himself, who even though he knew he was working illegally on private property, still kept going. And lastly, there was the county, who refused to do anything about the illegal work and refused to listen to reason.

All these people got what they deserved, so scroll down to read the full story. After that, click here for a story of employees who refused to accept a bonus from their boss.

35+ Perilous pickup trucks and messed up Mustangs that shouldn't be on the road

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 08:00

These car mods did not turn out as intended. 

Some people get a car and have big ideas in their head about it. So what if the car is 20 years old and barely starts? That's just the starting point, and with the right bells and whistles, soon it becomes a 20-year-old car that's also loud and flashy. 

Lots of car enthusiasts want their cars to be souped up, but they don't have the cash to spend thousands doing it. So some of these people take matters into their own hands. They decide to DIY a car renovation, and the results look… well… you can see them for yourself down below! 

I'm always fascinated by Franken-cars, like the ones at #4, #20, and #22. The more cars smushed into one, the better. I love to see a Franken-vehicle that's a mini-van on the front half, and a truck of some sort in the back. You can tell that the driver needs enough seats to take the kids and their friends to soccer practice, while also carrying some bags of mulch or some 2x4s. They have lots of places to be, and lots of items to bring along. They're thinking big, and not letting either the laws of physics or the aesthetics of the car stop them from achieving their dreams.  

Next up, when a Florida couple was impolite towards this employee, they got to leave the couple stranded.

'They lost the $1.2M funding too': Fired employee asked to write instruction manual for their future replacement with "zero experience," so they write it in insultingly simple terms

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 07:00

In writing, both for entertainment and for technical purposes, it's important that your reader be able to comprehend the meaning of your words. For example, if you happen to be writing a snazzy and engaging introduction to a discussion about a story that someone shared online, it would be foolish to begin using words that your reader is likely not to understand. In fact, it would be perspicacious for the author to eschew using a myriad of archaic verbiage that obfuscates the meaning of what they're trying to portray to their audience. 

Of course, as with everything in life, there's a balance to be struck, and it's easy to go too far in the other direction to a point where your writing begins sounding like one of those books you read in the first grade… The writer writes well. The writer writes good words. People enjoy reading the writer's words. The writer's words are easy to read. Yeah, you get tired of it pretty quickly. Like I said, there's a balance.

Well, when the survival of your company is dependent on a bunch of descriptive words that other people can read and comprehend in order to replicate essential processes or procedures, it's important that the line of simplistic yet descriptive be tread very carefully. 

When this worker was asked to write a technical instruction manual for the role that they were being fired from, the stipulation was that it be written at a level that someone with "zero experience" could understand. They decided to write it at such an insultingly simple level that it probably wouldn't be all that helpful to anyone at all. Hey, at least they tried… Right?

Confused Cat Parent Turns to Feline Corner of the Interwebs for Advice on Cat's Strange Behavior While Kneading (Biscuit Making)

LOL Cats - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 07:00

Hey, cat people! Ever heard of the cat-term 'making biscuits'? When a cat makes biscuits, it's kneading with its paws, usually a sign of contentment or relaxation. It's like they're baking imaginary bread right on your lap! It's adorable and shows they're feeling cozy and happy. Just be careful of those little claws—they can be surprisingly sharp! This is a super normal behavior for our feline friends to engage in. But can present itself in various different contexts. 

One concerned cat parent took to the interwebs for advice on her cat's strange behavior once she noticed that her cat would grasp a blanket in his mouth before beginning to knead. This behavior prompted her to to check in with her fellow cat parents, just to make sure that she did not have reason to be concerned. To her delight, folks poured in from every corner of the feline loving section of the world wide web to assure her that this behavior is total normal and nothing to stress over. Enjoy!

Mechanic bulldozes entire field, taking down army infrastructure after commanding officer orders him to level field 'no matter what'

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 06:00

It is crucial that you communicate your expectations to everyone around you. Having said that, as someone who always says what they mean and means what they say, in the event that you were given an order by superiors, would you simply follow it without question or would you make an effort to comprehend the reasoning behind it to prevent future annoyances?

The story below tells the tale of a clever transport officer who, although fully aware that he is setting himself up for failure, opts to follow his lieutenant's commands. The grandfather of the Original Poster (OP) was a transport officer in the Royal Australian Air Force. In order to prepare for an exercise, a lieutenant orders OP's grandfather to level the field that they were on with a bulldozer. Initially, the grandfather attempts to explain to the lieutenant that his training only covers upkeep and not the actual operation of the bulldozer. However, the lieutenant was unreceptive to arguments and was certain that the grandfather should resolve the matter. So, after trying several times to reason with the commander,  the grandfather ultimately decided to follow instructions and pray for the best possible outcome.

Having said that, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning what transpired after OP's grandfather started leveling the field! Additionally, after you've finished reading, don't forget to check out the story about the client who gets even with the contractor who ripped him off for $2000 by sending him job sites that don't exist, costing him $15,000!

'What are you going to do with the cats?': The Cutest Pics Of Cats With Babies To Show That You Really Don't Need To Get Rid Of Your Feline After Having A Baby

LOL Cats - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 06:00

As people who have had cats since a young age, we have always wondered how they would fit into our lives as we go through changes. Moving with cats, getting a job and having to leave your cat at home while you're there, going on vacations for long periods of time, our cats are with us through everything, and they will be with us when we have kids one day. So, we wonder about that too, and we hope that our cats and our babies will be best friends.

We can't help but be somewhat worried about it – are our cats and babies going to get along? Everyone keeps asking us what we're going to do when that day comes. And we're not sure. But for now, we choose to believe that our cats will love our babies, and our babies will love our cats, just like it is in all the adorable pictures that you're about to see.

'Karen can move in': College student gets even with nightmare roommate, moves out and finds the perfect replacement

Fail Blog - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 05:00

There is nothing quite like the pettiness that exists within a college dorm. Sure, people can be petty throughout their lives but there seems to be something especially petty regarding living situations during those four years. Part of this may be due to the obvious absence of parents and the further development of one's adult brain during this time. Part of it is the collision of differing lifestyles and the confrontation with other people's living habits. Part of it is just the nature of college itself.

Who hasn't had a dramatic roommate situation during college? Whether it's the total random roommate situation or the perfectly planned "best friend" roommate dynamic that inevitably falls apart, most people's perception of sharing space becomes forever altered during their college years. Here, we have a student who felt belittled and mocked by her roommate Colleen and their friend Karen (a fitting name). When the Redditor finally found the opportunity to get out of there and move in with another friend, she sought the perfect vengeance by suggesting that Colleen and Karen move in together. After all, they seemed to clearly deserve each other. What could possibly go wrong?

Keep scrolling below for the consequences. For more stories like this, here is one about a Karen interaction on an airplane.

'I'm being singled out': Boss ‘quietly fires’ employee after they report upper management for taking their tips

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

If there is one thing that employers cannot stand, it is their employees speaking up for their own rights. You should be as quiet as possible in the workplace, and never ever even consider raising issues that are related to your work and/or your employers. An employee who does this kind of thing will probably regret it later on.

Much like the employee in this Reddit story, who thought they were doing the right thing, but their employer definitely did not agree. OP (original poster), noticed that all the upper management was taking money out of the tip pool, something they are definitely not allowed to do, so OP reported it to the Department of Labor (DOL). Somehow, the boss found out about it, and started retaliating against OP - cutting their hours, making them do tasks that are not in their job title, etc… OP now wonders if they should, again, report their boss to DOL.

33 Rebellious Cat Memes Starring Snarky Meowzers With More Cattitude Than Hoomans Can Handle

LOL Cats - Tue, 04/16/2024 - 01:00

Cats are impolite sometimes. You could be peacefully working at your desk at home and they'll hop up onto your keyboard, find a warm cozy letter to rest on, and take a snooze right there on the QWERTY. As you commit the home office equivalent of a buttdial, your cat will send emails to your coworkers saying, 'osijdosdhgjjjjjjkkkk' and 'ssddddddddeeeeee'. But who can blame, them? The soft rumble of the laptop engine coupled with the insatiably warm belly feeling? Cats have no choice but to be a wee bit rebellious.

While cats can be a little bit of a nuisance in our lives, far more often than not, they're delightful little floofs. So even as we lament the random keyboard pressings and the tail flickers on our faces during a work meeting, cats are ultimately the most adorable little work-from-home buddy. In fact, we love all of their mischievous antics and meowriffic musings. So if you're looking for some feline feel-goods that'll make you chuckle from innate kitty badness, scroll onward for a collection of rebellious cat memes.

32 Fluffy Feline Funnies in the Form of Ferociously Feisty Memes to Warm the Hooman Heart

LOL Cats - Mon, 04/15/2024 - 20:00

One day I decided it had been a while since I had vacuumed, and it needed to be done. So I took one look at my two cats, Spock and Leo, who were sleeping peacefully in the afternoon sun, unaware that their enemy was about to be turned on in order to clean their favorite dusty spots around the house. If you would ask them, they would much prefer the house stay dirty because they are perfectly capable of cleaning themselves with their tiny pink tongue, thank you very much. But of course, being hooman, I must vacuum. So I grabbed it out of the closet and plugged it in. It began to hum loudly and at once both cats bolted upright, turning their heads in the direction of the sudden noise. They immediately darted under the sofa, howling as if at the very least, I had imprisoned them for their cute crimes. Of course, they were being dramatic and 15 minutes later, they were back to being their normal selves. Cats, am I right? Scroll down for the funniest feline memes, and then check out these parents who got their newborn a puppy. Then watch their friendship bloom as they both grow up!

A Runway of 30 Meowjestic Cat Memes to Catwalk With Through Work

LOL Cats - Mon, 04/15/2024 - 19:00

Meowllo, marvellous people!

Another new week is here, and we are facing a whole week of going to work and having to be at the office when we rather stay in with our purrfect little cats. If cats have 9 lives, hoomans must have thousands of them, because every time we have to get up in the morning and leave our cats soundly sleeping on the bed, we lose a little piece of ourselves, and we can never get it back. The only consolation we can think of is that when we get home we will stick our face right in a cat's belly and simply inhale. Very few experiences in life can top the feeling of inhaling a cat.

Another furrtastic feeling we cannot wait for is the feeling of scrolling through a collection of hissterical cat memes, which luckily, a collection of that sort is currently waiting down below, so go ahead and scroll down. After that, click here for a sweet story of a hooman who built a catio for her 11 cats.

A Fluffy Fireplace Full of 31 Wholesome Kittens to Warm the Hooman Heart

LOL Cats - Mon, 04/15/2024 - 18:00

Our baby kittens grow up so fast. One day they are tiny and round with a high-pitched, shrill kind of meow, and the next they are big, still round, and their meow is much more gruff, like a seasoned grandpa. They are always cute, no doubt, but there is something about them when they are itty bitty critters who rely on you to bottle feed them. When they grow up, they need you less. Which, I suppose, is something every parent goes through, pet parent or otherwise.

Today we have a seriously scrumptious selection of smol kittens to warm your hooman heart. These past weeks have been hard, and we think everyone deserves to smile a bit and forget about their woes. What better way to do that than to take a look at adorable felines? Scroll down to check them out and afterward, here is a purrfect pot roast of cat memes to enjoy.

‘My friend was mad at me, but he never asked again’: Sixth-grader maliciously complies with class showoff's request

Fail Blog - Mon, 04/15/2024 - 14:00

This class clown kept bothering another student until the kid finally agreed to help out. Unfortunately for the class clown, things didn't work out exactly how he'd planned.

Having a jokester in the class is tons of fun for everyone except one person: the teacher. While the class is giggling at the prankster's antics, the teacher has to try and keep order. This kid was apparently the type to make loud inappropriate noises in the middle of the lesson, a surefire way to get the whole class off track for a few minutes.

Not only does this kid act as a disruption in class, but he kept bugging u/WordWizardX to help with his papers. Before the internet was mainstream, lots of kids struggled with typing, and computer classes were very common. After all, this was considered the tech of the future, and being a good typist was supposedly very important to one's future career. But this kid was fine to slack off and continually bug his classmate to do his work for him.
