'Do you have a large pizza, but in smaller sizes?': 35+ Ridiculous things people overheard that left them laughing out loud

Not everyone is an A+ student. And even some A+ students have moments of profound stupidity! These people overheard some ridiculous statements, and roughly 18,600 people weighed in with their own stories . It seems like a lot of people don't know basic animal facts . That's wild to me, because children's books are obsessed with making kids learn letters, numbers, and animals! How do you grow up to be an adult and not realize that pigs have teeth? I know some parents don't read to their kids, bu…

'Can I just... "accidentally" knock the cake over?': 20+ ways to ruin a wedding

'Can I just... "accidentally" knock the cake over?': 20+ ways to ruin a wedding

So much can go wrong at a wedding. Tensions are running high, everyone's stressed, and lots of money is often involved. Recently, I officiated a friend's wedding and felt the pressure first-hand for the first time. Not only could so much go wrong objectively but also I could be the one to mess everything up. And of course, it's impossible for your brain not to go to that place where you're like, “What if I said this instead of what I'm supposed to say? what if I just up and left right now and s…

Update: 'I wish I saw her face when she heard about the complaint': Manager leaves new hire to wait tables alone, customers call in to complain that managers were 'sitting on their phones'

Some managers just show up, take their paycheck, and leave. Why bother actually doing your job if you don't have to? This teen was working as a “waitress/server/cashier” at a chain restaurant where she could have really used some extra support from her managers. She writes that she, a new girl, and one other employee were at work with a manager who was being totally useless. Some managers who've worked their way up the ladder feel entitled to their new “good life.” If you've worked in a restaur…

'You've got work, you know': Boss shames employee for taking off work for her husband's surprise trip despite working overtime

Imagine working countless hours of overtime including weekends only to have your boss shame you for taking off. Furthermore, it was a surprise trip for the employee's birthday and it involved a personal family relationship that was clearly very important to this Redditor . Apparently, despite all that extra work and the personal nature of this trip, none of it mattered to OP's employer. No one's boss can expect so much from their employees and then refuse to hold their end of a bargain. That ba…

'I intentionally scalded him': Brother-in-law gets what he deserves after refusing to wash his own dishes, getting punked by the worst shower of his life afterwards

Old buildings have terrible water pipes. No matter where you live or how swanky your neighborhood may be, if it's old, you're doomed to icy/hot showers that fluctuate based on which toilet is being flushed and which sink is running. For many people, this is just a mere inconvenience, but for others, who have snarky family members visiting, these old pipes turn into a weaponized warfare device that can only be wielded by the resident.

'I don't need your help': Guy disregards event credential worker, falls victim to his own hubris and gets to wait

'I'm not taking an hour off. I'm leaving. For good': Boss constantly tells employee she could be 'fired for no cause,' employee plans their escape plan

This boss kept reminding their employee over and over just how disposable they were. It's no wonder the employee got really tired of hearing that! This boss must not care about workplace morale at all. If she did, she wouldn't speak to her employees in such a degrading tone. The OP, u/Public_Pressure_4516, shared they were working at a bank, but just as a part time gig. The OP is also a part-time teacher, but we all know how America treats its teachers---low pay and no benefits. So they needed…

Have you ever been on a boat? The wind whips through your hair, the sun shines on your neck, and it seems like all of your woes get left on the dock. That's why boating is such a dang expensive hobby– it's phenomenally pleasant! So if you're a boat enthusiast, it's probable that your boat is not only your fiberglass first-born baby, but also a deep, endless money-pit… which is why boaters always have the best insurance.

Having your things go missing from a shared storage space is, understandably, infuriating, especially when that space is only accessible by your adult colleagues who ought to understand full well that the taking of others' things is wrong—and not some preschoolers who have yet to learn that lesson. Still, repeatedly throughout your life, you'll be disappointed to discover that some adults just don't care about doing the right thing and will shamelessly do whatever is in their own best interest—…

It's always astonishing to me why the Karens of the world decide to pick battles with the people who could make their lives difficult. When I check into a hotel, I try to make a point to be almost overly polite because I know from experience that front desk agents can make your stay easier, better, or more challenging.

We've all heard nightmarish tales of exorbitant health insurance bills. Usually, patients don't come out on top, but in rare cases, regular folks like you and I can stick it to the big man up in the insurance towers. All it takes is a big lawyer voice, a little patience on the phone, and a pair of hefty stones.

It's 2023, who still steals phones? Back in the era when every iPhone 3 could be resold on the black market for an up-charge and even the flip phone Razr's were valuable, it was a lucrative business, but now there are so many security measures to protect phone owners, it's a wonder that thieves are still motivated to sneak their hands into their fellow citizens's pockets.

'[He] was clearly not the smartest cookie': Dude finds employer of guy who scammed his family member out $73 with fake concert tickets, gets him fired

Usually it's the person getting scammed that tends to be left feeling pretty unintelligent afterwards. Of course that full-blown piano wasn't $40, but you didn't want to miss the chance at a stellar deal, so you bought it online anyways. Now you have to report suspicious activity on your account and still no piano. It happens every now and then to the best of us. However, sometimes, when the stars align, or the scammer is sloppy, satisfying justice gets served. That is the happy story we found…

‘I won’t buy you a house... that's ridiculous': Unemployed neighbor asks former resident to buy him a house, because he can't afford one

One dude took ‘neighborly kindness’ too far when he wrote a bunch of letters asking neighbors to donate him a house and sent them off, obviously unaware (on a core level) how outrageous his request was. One neighbor, u/SirHoneyDip, shared the letter to r/EntitledPeople, and the content of the letter was frankly, hilariously entitled. Some people really don't have much going on up there, do they? Asking people for favors is one thing, but asking people to buy you a WHOLE HOUSE? While being unemp…
