Player Falls for The Ol' Hidden Ball Trick

 

Whether you watch baseball or not, it's hard not to enjoy someone bending the rules so successfully at such a high level. It looks totally stupid and unfair, but it's also kind of awesome that anyone could get away with some crap like this.

Choosing Beggar Demands Free VCR, But Only If It's New

Man oh man, these choosing beggars are relentless. It's not every day though that you see someone pop out of the blue, demanding a free VCR, but only if that VCR is new. The dude can definitely afford to lose the attitude. 

1.

Text - Hi all anyone have a VCR they can let me have? Mine broke and I need it to record tv CB shows to watch later. thanks. Hi! You know there's more modern Me technology you can use, right?? But I have a VCR/DVD player combo! Yours for $20 but you'd have to pick it up. Thanks but I said "let me have".. And I *will* let you have it - for $20

Text - if new vcrs are no longer being made why did you want $20 from me for yours? Ummmm maybe because I have something you want! That's how business works. AND I said you could have it for free as a goodwill gesture. You can loose the attitude and im not interested if it isnt new

4.

Text - Oh. My. God! MY attitude?! You expected to get a brand new machine for free! And it's 'lose', not 'loose! As in "You're going to lose out on a great deal because I'm done with you and your 72 years of self- entitlement."

Total Downsides About Being An Adult

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various downsides of being an adult that teenagers don't realize. It's funny, when we're younger we can give ourselves over to this notion that when we grow up everything's going to be a whole lot better; but then you get there, and it's just a new world of unforeseen responsibilities. Suddenly, you find yourself craving the days of your youth when all you had to worry about was getting to bed at a reasonable time for school the next morning. If that.

Brain-Tyrants Who Think They're Literal Geniuses

There's nothing wrong with being smart. There's something a little wrong with thinking you're a genius just because you once sat through a Youtube doc on quantum mechanics. And there's definitely a lot wrong with being a huge ass to people who are just trying to be decent to each other online. Here we have absurd people who think they're geniuses, coming around to brag about their supposed intellect. It gets so bad it's like some think they have super powers.

Wholesome Memes Because Some Things are Still Nice

Mom Lets Black Widows Hatch, They Escape

In an extremely ill-advised parenting move, this mom kept a black widow spider and its egg sack in what she thought was a sealed container. It doesn't take much thought to realize why this is probably not a good idea. In fact, in may even be a bad idea. A really bad idea. For something slightly less bad but still about spiders, here's a tumblr thread on how wolf spiders run cranberry bogs.

Times People Really Screwed Up at Work

Humans aren't perfect, so naturally we're bound to make mistakes at work. It's when we're using expensive tools, or facing ten angry customers that a really big screw-up can have some extreme consequences. In the right field of work, one misplaced screw or faulty measurement can turn into literally millions of dollars of losses. We try not to think about those.

We spent half an hour trying to catch it by moving a magnetic stick inside the crankshaft, with oil spilling everywhere. The engine was new and about to be mounted on a train that was supposed to run later in the day, I was so terrified I would possibly cause quite a lot of trouble since no other train or engine was available.

Coworker Snitches On Employee For Being Late, Petty Revenge Ensues

Man oh man, it sounds like this coworker was a whole lot of extra. The dude was late, as some human beings are prone to be on occasion, and the coworker made a whole deal out of it at 7:10 AM on a Saturday morning, Sounds like the boss was having none of it as well. At least the petty revenge was satisfying! If you enjoyed this quick petty revenge story, check out another tale of pro revenge with the time a county mower messed with a dad's shrubs, and proceeded to lose to rebar.

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/fixerofthings • 2y + Join You say you only called the boss out of concern for my well being? Well being that you called him, I had to follow suit. A few weeks ago, my coworker (CW) was negating some minor protocols which left some equipment down overnight. He also didn't send emails to some of our remote teams regarding downed equipment. So, I did him a solid (or so I thought) and sent him and only him an email telling him what he did wrong. The very next night, he did it

Text - The very next day, I failed to charge my phone and woke up to realize that my phone was dead and I was late for work so I got dressed and boogied my sorry ass to work, which was only a 5 minute walk for me. I apologized for being 50 minutes late and he seemed cool about it...until I found out that he called the boss after only 25 minutes, something no one on our team had ever done in my years of working here, claiming he was just concerned for my "well being". Even my boss told him to jus

Text - My boss even told me afterwards that it was no big deal and couldn't imagine why CW would call him, at 7:10 in the morining, on a Saturday, when there was literally nothing he could do about it. Then he asked me about a piece of equipment that got left down for 6 +hours so I had to come clean. I told him that I sent coworker an email about it and then it happened again the next day. He asked me to forward the emails to him so he could address them with CW. He also asked me not to "shield"

Text - So now, everytime I catch a mistake CW makes, which is far more often than I thought, I forward the information directly to the boss so he can see first hand all the mistakes CW makes. I haven't talked to CW much since the incident. I am curious about his well being though. EDIT: I just want to add that the first email I sent him was very diplomatic and non-confrontational but the second one had more of a "dude, get your shit together" kinda feel to it. We have protocols in place that pre

Dumbest Things People Actually Believed

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the dumbest things that people actually believed. Sometimes, you end up making it in life till you're 25, believing that sugar was out there growing in caves (hence sugar rock candy), and then you learn that the whole world as you knew it was a lie. Knowledge might be power, but dang, it can sting sometimes.
