People's Worst Job Interview Fails Anyone's nerves can quickly get the best of them. At a moment's notice your brain might decide to throw you into a completely disorienting panic where you find yourself uncontrollably shaking, sweating profusely, and blabbering like a newborn baby.

Can't have those momentary wins without the fails. Maybe these people's job interview fails will make you feel better about any of your own. 
Inspirational Tumblr Thread On Embracing The Lazy Life With a deepening dependency on technology can come an even more rampant usage of social media and other apps on our phones. All of this screen time can end up contributing toward quite the stressful emotional rollercoaster of just trying to make it in this life from a relatively peaceful and centered place. The value of slowing down amidst the chase for that next paycheck can't be expressed enough. Not only that, but it sounds like it's a collective biological inclination to not feel the need to grind all the time. A little laziness here and there should be encouraged, not condemned. For another entertaining read from Tumblr check out the time that an employee took a petty revenge on a raging Karen.

You'd certainly be guaranteed to have your fair share of unforgettable days on the job. 
Man Conquers Bus Driver's Chaotic Evil Public transportation can try one's soul like none other. Whether you're caught up in a regular work commute where you're forced to take the subway, and share a tightly packed space with a cast that's composed of equal parts frustrated, miserable, and downright insane individuals; or maybe you take the bus. The thing about the bus in particular is it can end up being a terribly frustrating game where you find yourself chasing a bus down one day, after the driver filled your heart with hope only to stomp that right out. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr thread about eating good meals at crime fronts. 
30 Brilliant Marriage Tweets That We Can All Agree With There's nothing more brilliant than sharing your entire personal life in close proximity to the same person. Day in and day out they are always there just... observing your strange existence. You might be thinking "Sheesh guy, someone treated you wrong." but I really do mean that in the best way you could possibly interpret it. There's a certain magical charm in knowing that there is someone out there, RIGHT there, who knows certain aspects of you better than you know yourself.
So here's to our 'better halfs'; For the good and the weird. 
20 Classic Driving FAILs Brought to You By People Who Shouldn't Be Driving There are certain people in this world that just should not be behind the wheel of a car. There's nothing more terrifying than one of these individuals being in control of a 2 ton hunk of steel that is being propelled by thousands of small explosions every minute.
These people must have been inspired by Miley Cyrus because they ahem came in like a wrecking ball.
How's that for a timely reference? Nothing cooler than calling back to a 7 year old song lyric. Anywho - There's nothing quite as sweet as a classic collection of FAILs so drink up and relish. 
14 Things That We Were Cautioned About As Kids That Were Over Exaggerated When you're a kid there's mystical world out there, all build on the perspectives and expectations that the people around you have built for you. Your wild imagination takes the threats of which adults (or siblings) have made mention and wildly exaggerates their threat levels. You never know, you might encounter a whirlpool walking to school one day.
Now, I'm turning 29 in a month and I've never even seen a whirlpool or encountered quicksand - but safe to say that I have been ready for those threats for a quarter of a century should they ever reveal their threatening visage.
When I was about 5 years old my sister convinced me that a "Tongue Monster" lived in our basement. This beast of a creature was a giant of sorts who was said to have had tongues covering his entire body. I was horrified that I might encounter this scoundrel and stayed clear of the basement for months, and kept a weary eye out for this fleshy Lovecraftian horror for even longer than that.
Looking back, I'm not certain what was so threatening about the guy, there was never any threat - perceived or otherwise - that I was going to be licked to death should I venture into the basement alone. For all I knew, we might have gotten along famously. I am certain that he must have had exceptional taste.
It's been a long time since the Tongue Monster was at the top of my list of fears and risks and I do hope that he has manage to sustain stable employment and make a living off of his unique talents. I like to imagine that he might be a food critic somewhere (aren't all critics monsters of sorts?) or has otherwise managed to take on a new form and has attained international success as a famous chef. Instead of wasting energy on my Tongue Monster, whirlpools or quicksand it would have been nice if someone could have instead warned me of dangers that are more pertinent to me now. Like 'Quickdraw Danny the Dastardly Debt Doppler' or 'Tricky Theodore the Traveling Tax Taker'.
I feel like there might have been real lessons to learn from those.
Nightmare Neighbor Tries to Claim Guy's Driveway and Screws Himself Out of His Own There is absolutely nothing worse than being stuck living next to an infernally terrible neighbor. The kind of person who intentionally goes out of the way to make life a living misery for themselves and everyone around them. They can take a great neighborhood and disintegrate it within a exceptionally short period of time.
It's always satisfying to see the scorched earth approach backfire spectacularly as it did here for poor ol' Mike...
To add to the entertainment, a bunch of readers had their own experiences with this particular topic and oh man are there some good ones.
Witty Flight Attendant Delivers Sweet Justice and Gives Entitled Jerk Exactly What He Asked For It's never a good idea to get on the wrong side of a service worker... Especially in a situation where they hold immense power over your experience.
We've all probably been in a situation like this where we have to put up with people acting the fool in public and it's frustrating when you can't do anything about it. Even more so when you are the service worker and have to keep wearing that smile since "The customer is always right." Well this entitled individual was more right than he knew and certainly more right than he wished that he was. Props to the flight attendant in this situation for delivering that sweet taste of subtle justice.
It's always satisfying to see this pulled off well. 
Red Flags That People Are Terrible With Their Money Nobody said that managing one's finances is easy. Money comes and it goes. Some people are just better at saving their money for the hard times than others. Some folks seem to spend their paychecks the moment that they show up. Hopefully none of these ring a bell. But hey, maybe they'll serve as their own kind of wake up calls.
