Uh-oh, we're back at it again with a fresh compilation of humanity failing every step of the way. If you missed last week's compilation check it out here. We could all use some extra fail videos in our lives to remind us that there is someone else out there failing just a bit more than yourself.

Real Estate Agent Pulls Bait And Switch, Revenge Ensues

Sometimes, the best course of action when you realize that a landlord or real estate agent is going shady on you, and trying to pull the bait and switch, is to do nothing at all. This couple certainly got their vengeance, and we're glad to see that everything worked out for them on their housing hunt. The only way that they could've made this revenge any sweeter would've been to have sent a couple friends in their place to "sign the lease", only to back out at the last second. 

1.

Text - r/RegularRevenge + Join u/[deleted] • 258d Real Estate agent raises the price of house after we already paid our application fee. Petty (On mobile, apologies for spelling, grammer, formatting.) Also, I tried posting this on petty revenge and it was removed immediately by moderators...wtf. anyways:

2.

Text - My girlfriend and I were looking for place to live in a new city where she had just accepted an internship that didn't pay but would hopefully open big opportunities in the future (I travel for work so it's easy for me to live anywhere.) We looked and looked but there was nothing in our price range so we increased a few hundred dollars and finally found a house. It was a bit pricey for what it was; but we weren't finding any better places. The lease term was written as 1 or 2 years. We we

3.

Text - So a few days go by and we hear back from the agent, our application was accepted but the owner wants 150$ more rent than was advertised, per month, since we were only wanting to sign the 1-year lease. I mentioned that it seemed unfair that she had taken our 100$ application fee before telling us about this price increase, but I kept it pretty civil since I didn't want to burn a bridge for the only viable option we had. She assured me condescendingly that this was perfectly legal and that

4.

Text - We were so frustrated. The place was so expensive for what it was, especially considering the condition that it was in. It really was tiny (the bedrooms were about 10' x 10') which made me feel a little claustrophobic, and the walls were very dirty from the former tenants who apparently had a couple big dogs living inside. There was literally dirt and grease smeared around the walls on the entire interior at about the height of a large dog. The yard was overgrown and trashed but the lease

5.

Text - We had paid 50 dollars each for the application fee and now felt as if we had been bait and switched, but had no other good options and our deadline was coming up fast.. My girlfriend was crying and we both felt like homeless misfits that were terrible at life... I couldn't sleep in our hotel that night but when I pulled up my bookmarked craigslist housing searches I saw something new. A place that looked nice, and was about 500$ cheaper than the house! Actually inside our original price

6.

Text - We were still angry about the other house. The agent had taken our 100$ and raised the price on us, probably because she knew how tight the rental market was in the area and that we may not have oth V options. It had been just one day since she informed us about the 150$ monthly price increase. I typed an

7.

Text - angry email about how we were bait and switched, etc.. but knew that it probably wouldn't get us our 100$ back and that they would probably barely even read it.. I asked my girlfriend if I should sent it. She then came up with a brilliant plan for revenge: do nothing. First I deleted the email without sending it.. and we moved into our new place... A few days went by and I got a text message from the agent of the other house asking if we were still interested. I replied that we were still

8.

Text - recieved a call from the agent who seemed to have forgotten about us until then and she was frantic about getting the lease signed. I made up excuses: my girlfriend was very ill! We need a few more days. We are still 100% interested, and I will call her on Monday to set up a meeting. On Monday I typed up an email: "Sorry but we decided not to move in after all! Thanks anyways!" My girlfriend and I smiled nervously together as we shot the email off.

9.

Text - The phone rang almost immediately, it was the agent. I exchanged glances with my girlfriend and answered it, putting her on speaker phone. She was very upset that she hadn't shown her place for over 2 weeks and that her well qualified tenants were dropping out. She pleaded with me to reconsider. "What if I dropped the price back to the original price in the ad?" She asked with desperation heavy in her voice. "Ummmmmmmmmm" I pretended to think about it. I Looked over at my girlfriend and s

Twitter Thread: Living With ADHD

This comprehensive rundown of just what it's like to live with ADHD made the rounds on Twitter because of how accurate it is. That being said, individuals will always vary, and not every experience is exactly the same. It's just nice to see some mental health awareness going on, on social media. 

1.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp 1/ (Thread) #NeurodiverseSquad no one has ever explained #ADHD or #executivedysfunction to me quite like Sarah Ward (@swardtherapy) and I need to share the awesome. (I'm a speech therapist with an 8yo son with ADHD, for background.)

2.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d Replying to @sayitslp 2/ First, memory. You have two broad types of memory: Long-Term Memory (LTM) and Short-Term Memory (STM). STM is often used interchangeably with Working Memory (WM), which refers to a sort of mental "scratch pad" where you can hold information in mind and use it.

3.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 3/ Now, WM also has subtypes: The 1st is Verbal Working Memory. Verbal Working Memory is what allows you to hold someone's phone number in mind, rehearse it, and write it down when you find a pen. It lets you remember a set of words someone said, or something short you read.

4.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp 1d 4/ The 2nd kind of WM is Nonverbal Working Memory (NWM). This refers to your ability to hold images in mind. To see scenes from the past, pictures you saw, where you left your keys, etc. It also helps you imagine the future.

5.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp 1d 5/ Not words about the future, but what the future LOOKS LIKE. Now, it's the ability to see what the future looks like that is impaired in those with poor executive functioning skills, like those with #ADHD, #ASD, and #executivedysfunction. 4 27 21 197

6.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 6/ I will talk about ADHD because my son has ADHD. NVWM impairment is exactly why it's hard for someone with ADHD to just... do the thing. 27 8 161

7.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 7/ Because #neurotypicals just imagine what "done" looks like, and work backwards from there to figure out what steps to take. Then backwards again to figure out what they need to get started. Then they know how to start. 27 17 208

8.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 8/ Folks, if you can't easily imagine the end product, you can't identify the steps that get the end product complete. And if you can't identify the steps, you can't collect what you need to start. And you... can't start. 4 27 43 294

9.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 9/ So WHY is it so hard for people with ADHD to just... do the thing? It's because starting on a task is completely overwhelming when you can't see what you're working towards. 27 29 290

10.

Food - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 10/ If a neurotypical person is going to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, they're gonna think about what a peanut butter and jelly sandwich looks like as a FIRST STEP. Practically instantaneously. What does done look like? Then they plan backwards from there.

11.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp 11/ What are the steps to achieve the "done" image? Well, laying out the bread, spreading the peanut butter, spreading the jelly, putting the two sides together. BAM. What will I need to prepare to do those steps? Bread, peanut butter, jelly, knife. BAM.

12.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 12/ You plan backwards, and execute that plan forwards. Or: you "plan the work, then work the plan." This is incredibly hard for those with executive dysfunction. 27 22 ♡ 214

13.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp 1d 13/ Learning this has helped me immensely. Once I could understand that this failure to see the "done" was what was holding my son back, all I had to do was make the "done" visible and visual for him. 1 27 11 224

14.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 14/ What does "ready for school" look like? We took a photo of him ready with all his things. Now each morning I show him that and say "match the picture" and he's ON IT. The photo helps him see the wholeness of what HE looks like in the future. He can see the done. 2 23 31 470

15.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 15/ What's more, this helps with his anxiety. He is always anxious about birthday parties. Why? I now know he can't visualize what it will be like. Uncertainty = anxiety. What does the place/crowd/food look like? No idea. Stress. 3 27 17 329

16.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 16/ Now we reduce birthday party anxiety by making the uncertain/ unknown into something he can see. We google photos of the venue. Of kids eating cake and pizza. We look at several photos of what it might look like and anxiety is reduced. Hugely. This is wizardry, guys.

17.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 17/ I shared this strategy with his gr 3 teacher and she (bless her) immediately put it into practice. He was unable to start on his journal writing one morning. She said "here is what done looks like" and flipped to a previous, complete journal entry. 1 281

18.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 18/ She went through it with him and helped him identify the steps/ parts (a topic, sentences, capital letters, spaces, etc.). That's what done looks like. And he immediately got to work writing a new one. 2 233

19.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 19/ This is so fundamentally different than giving a kid a checklist you made. You are _teaching_ the kid the skill of visualizing the "done", and of _creating_ their own checklist from that "done" image. They are thinking through all the steps of planning themselves. 27 24 345

20.

Text - Jana O'Connor @sayitslp · 1d 20/ Building these skills is crucial for kids with executive dysfunction. I love this strategy, which Sarah Ward calls "Get Ready - Do - Done." because it makes planning (as well as the thing you're planning) VISUAL. This is building nonverbal working memory. 27 15 272

Bride Threatens To Un-Invite Dad's Girlfriend If She Wears Off-White Dress

This bride decided to consult the people of Reddit on whether or not she was in the wrong for threatening to un-invite her dad's girlfriend from the wedding if she wore an off-white wedding dress. The collective opinion would seem to be that the bride was not in the wrong at all. The only person that should be rocking the white dress at the wedding is the bride. 

1.

Text - AITA for saying my dad's girlfriend can't come to my wedding if she plans on wearing a certain dress? Not the A-hole So yesterday was my birthday and I was spending the day with my fiancé, one of my best friends and her boyfriend. Since it was a nice day, we decided to go out to a patio for some drinks to celebrate. Well, part way through the day I just happened to be scrolling on Instagram where I see my dad's girlfriend had posted a picture of what she was planning to wear for the weddi

2.

Text - I was livid. It's literally an off-white silk slip dress and matching blazer. There's no mistaking the colour since she took it straight from the website itself. I showed everyone who I was with that day and they were immediately surprised. I texted my sister as well and she seemed upset. I texted my dad immediately as well and asked if about the post and questioned if it was in fact the colour she had posted, since when I went to the website they had it in different colours as well. Unfo

3.

Text - His girlfriend ended up sending me a belated birthday message today, and I guess he was at least on his way home because she also told me she had taken down the post because "she wanted it to be a surprise for my dad" wtf...? And that the colour was supposedly "beige" as she put it. I sent a message back to her saying that I am uncomfortable with her wearing a dress so similar in colour to mine and have asked her not to wear it, she has not replied to me. What I find kind of ironic is she

4.

Text - I alled my dad once he was home and told him, I'm not okay with her wearing that dress, we've had to make a lot of big changes to our wedding and that is one thing I am standing firm on. I told him l'm sorry if I put him in a tough position, but l'm putting my foot down on this. I've already got people saying is she shows up in it, they will turn her away on my behalf. I hate being rude and I don't want to come across as a bridezilla or anything but I think I'm justified in the way I'm fe

5.

Text - First off, I don't understand why people would jump to the conclusion of this damaging my relationship with my dad beyond repair. Durning my call with him, he was very understanding and wasn't trying to change my mind, he just wanted to know what was happening since he had been away for the weekend. I would NEVER let something like this ruin my relationship with my father, and I wholeheartedly believe he wouldn't either. To everyone saying that it's dumb that I have uninvited her, I haven

6.

Text - An update: She has responded to my message when I told her I was uncomfortable with the colour, stating it "looks darker in person" and "she was unaware I had a dress code in mind". I have reiterated that unfortunately I just don't feel comfortable with the colour at all and have asked her to chose something else. Our messages have been friendly, but formal to each other. I am hoping she completely understands now not to wear it hopefully.

7.

Text - I also want to make it clear that I have no ill will for this woman, she and my dad have been dating for 3+ years now and I know she makes him happy. Obviously we aren't best friends, but I normally don't have any problems with her. We're just not seeing eye to eye on this situation. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the message is clear about this particular dress, and I hope it does jot damage our relationship. Will update further if anything else happens.

Text - yukidaviji • 19h • Partassipant [4] 1 Award NTA. Everyone knows that you don't wear white/colors close to white to a wedding when you aren't the bride. I also find it odd she asked to wear the color of the bridesmaids when she isn't one. If she had just shown up wearing the color without asking or knowing it was the bridesmaid color, that's normal/coincidental. But to specifically ask about wearing it...feels like she's trying to inject herself into your wedding. Reply 1 6.5k

Text - pineboxwaiting • 19h • Asshole Aficionado [18] NTA What is with these mothers wearing pseudo- wedding dresses to their kids' weddings? They are announcing to all the world that they are petty, insecure assholes. Why do they do it? You are so far within your bounds to ask her to not wear white, beige or blush to the wedding, and she's just a piece of work if she does it anyway. Here's the thing, though. She's probably going to do it anyway. Mentally prepare yourself for that and do NOT all

Text - Lily2404 • 18h • Certified Proctologist [24] NTA, you don't wear a white dress to a wedding that's not your own, everybody knows that. Good thing that she was dumb enough to post it on Instagram. She is also perfectly aware that it's wrong, because when she realized you knew she tried to hide it from your dad deleting the post.

Not being rude, it is the height of tackiness to wear, white, off white, ivory, cream, beige, ecru any colour that would have people mistake your outfit for a wedding dress/ outfit. I would text her again, make it clear, that she is more than welcome at Your Wedding, but Not in that outfit in THAT or any similar colour. It is Tacky to try to upstage the Bride at a wedding & she will be turned away if she turns up in that or any similar col

Text - LoonyCupcake • 10h NTA This was an issue at my own wedding except it was two women. One was my brother's GF which hates me and another was the wife of my husband's friend. The friend asked if she can wear certain dresses, even sent my husband pictures of the risky cuts. We asked for it just not to be the bridal party color and of course, white/off-white.

Impressive and Dumb Low Budget DIY Solutions

Life hands us all sorts of technical challenges, and it's up to us to solve them with our own ingenuity. Sometimes that ingenuity leads us to using a defunct school bus as a bridge, and other times it leads us to gluing a fan to the ceiling. A lot of these low budget fixes and DIY solutions are bad, unsafe and extremely unadvisable, so take that with a heaping pile of salt.

Patient Lists Their Mistress as Emergency Contact, Gets Exposed

We're not trying to promote infidelity or try to make anyone better at cheating on their spouse, but who in their right mind leaves a paper trail? It seems like if you wanted to get away with this sort of thing, you'd try not to leave official evidence of your extra-marital affairs. For a cheater brought to justice, here's someone who left their cheating ex on the top of a mountain.

Woman Gives New Neighbor Phone Number, Breakup Ensues

It sounds like this relationship was doomed from the start. All she did was leave her new neighbor her number on a note, in cursive, and that was apparently enough to qualify as the straw that broke the camel's back. Honestly, this might be the ideal outcome The fact that the potential ex wouldn't even consider talking to their neighbor is a definite red flag. 

1.

Text - r/tifu Join u/The-Lawyer-in-Pink • 4d TIFU by giving a new neighbor my number. M A few days ago, I met a girl who recently moved into my building on my way to do laundry. We were both in the elevator heading to the machines and got to talking about how people leave the laundry room an absolute disaster. She said something to the effect of "my husband and l can't stand how disgusting it gets." Eventually, she left.

2.

Text - Five minutes later, a guy wanders into the laundry room obviously expecting to run into someone. I said "Is [girl] your wife? She was just in here." He said "oh, [girl]? She's just my girlfriend." I thought this was super weird but I let it go. He ended up hanging out waiting for the girl and we got to talking about some traffic tickets he'd recently received. I told him I was a lawyer and l'd be happy to help him with the process of dealing with the tickets, but the girl came back and he

3.

Text - Apparently the girl went berserk on the guy, despite him being the one to show her the sticky note with my number, explaining to her I am a lawyer, and that I offered to help him with his traffic ticket issues. He even asked if she wanted to discuss it with me directly to prove his story, which she refused. She was convinced I was leaving my number for inappropriate reasons because I wrote my name in cursive, which is my default handwriting and somehow that means something. She threw some

4.

Text - Edit: I'm female. TL;DR I gave my number to my neighbor for the purpose of helping him with some traffic tickets, but because I wrote my name in cursive, his girlfriend who called herself his wife thought I was coming onto him. 1.0k , 90 1 Share

Things People are Ashamed to Be Fans Of

When a fandom gets too big, it can develop its own set of weird rules and become toxic. All of a sudden you have people who all like the same thing judging each other over certain parts of that thing they like. Sometimes the fandom itself is obnoxious to people who are minding their own business, making it even harder to associate yourself with that thing you like. For a more fun look into fandom, here's a tumblr thread on how Darth Vader is the queen of drama.

History Memes to Feel Smart About

Does knowing one or two facts about a particular battle actually make anyone that much more aware? Maybe a little. It's hard to tell. What knowing that historical context does do however, is set one up for some sweet memes that use all of history as a great well of inside jokes. For an interesting history thread, here's a tumblr thread about how mundane people are important to history.

Twitter Thread: Romance Erupts Between Café Coworkers

Oh yes, those were the days when anyone could go and sit in a café, people watch, maybe tweet out a romantic thread like this one here, or even take a dabble in the art of romance themselves. This throwback Twitter thread takes a look at a couple café coworkers confessing their true feelings for one another. Pretty sweet and wholesome stuff.

Biggest Red Flags Hiring Managers Saw On Resumes

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the biggest red flags that hiring managers have seen on resumes. If anything, the following collection of suspect, genuinely shady resumes should serve as a gallery of what to never put on your resume. That, or these people were clearly applying for the wrong jobs. 

Check out some more juicy gossip from hiring managers with this list of signs that people lied on their resumes, from hiring managers.

In fact any numbers but 420, 69, etc. And 123 is fine. It's absolutely worth having a very bland email for anything where you don't want your email to

Boss Orchestrates Their Own Downfall

The biggest kicker in this ridiculous scenario is that a competent boss who was actually pulling their weight would've said just this, but then nothing would've happened because the competent boss was fulfilling the duties of their job. Unfortunately, this boss was not doing their job. So, after the employee complied the boss was exposed for not doing their job. If they'd never said anything, they would've been a whole lot better off.
