People Discuss Their Best Techniques for Quickly Ruining a Date

Dates can be pretty rough, and usually we’re trying our very best to do everything within our power to make them go well.

But what if, hypothetically, you wanted something a little different?

You have five seconds to ruin a date, what do you do? from AskReddit

Unsurprisingly, Reddit has ways to ruin things quickly.

Let’s take a look!

1. The hunger technique

Eat my food like I do when I’m on my own

– ToBoredomAGem

2. The art of the crunch

My sister told me about a quiet pub date she had with a guy recently who bought himself 2 packs of pork scratchings.

He opened both bags and separated them by most crunchy to least crunchy and then would pick 2 up at a time and ask her which one he should eat next.

He did this for the whole date.

They didn’t have a second date.

– Reave1905

3. The full assault

Ooh something I’m good at! Quickly find a way to steer the conversation to the eastern front during World War Two, and just keep talking about Stalingrad.

Once their eyes glaze over you know the city on the Volga has claimed yet another life

– tateochip

4. The money gambit

So, how much did you say you earn?

– dior_princess

5. The familiar face

Hi! Wow, you look just like my ex!

Done.

– firewire87

6. The vital vidya

Tell them I’ve played 7000 hrs of Grand Theft Auto.

Watch the interest dry up immediately.

– thelocalllegend

7. The gambling gambit

I used to work at a gaming bar.. this dude was on a first date and had been drinking with a girl for a while.

An hour or so in, he put like 40 bucks in the machine. He ended up hitting for like $1200 or something. Nothing crazy, but a nice hit.

We paid him out and he ordered a round of shots and soon after said he had to use the restroom.

Dude bolted. Left the girl with the bill. She legit walked in the bathroom looking for him, walked around the building.

Felt bad for her. She started crying at the bar, had a shot, and paid the bill while she waited for an Uber. Ouch.

– PuddingPoops

8. The sniff shift

One time a guy leaned over and deeply smelled a lock of my hair within the first couple minutes of our meeting for the first time.

I made up an excuse and left

– LydiaAgain

9. The unexpected double

Bring my friend and expect my date to treat them.

– s**ykenobi

10. Just go too fast

Say “I love you please marry me I’m not kidding”

– Thermal_bay

11. The “nice guy”

“I’m a really nice guy, like super nice, I would treat you so Good. Now show me your t**s.”

– invinoveritasb**ch

12. The warranty

I just watched this all play out in my head:

You meet someone online who seems to click with you.

You arrange to meet at a cozy restaurant.

When you arrive they’re already at the table, waiting for you.

You – hi, you look amazing

Date – thanks, now I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.

Pulls out huge wad of paper, and dumps it on the table

Date – you see it states here in the terms and condi..

– Your_One_Lord

13. The slug…system?

Pour salt on them and say “sorry, I really, really, reaaaaaaallllllly hate slugs”

– Randomredditwhale

14. Start a fight

Pull up their social media and point out all the things they like that you don’t

– _manicpixie

Yup, I’d say those are all sure to work.

Do you have any others to add?

Times When Words Were Just Way Too Difficult

Estimates say that American adults tend to know between 20,000 and 40,000 words, which honestly sounds like a lot…

Maybe the fact that we’re storing away so many of them can help explain why some of the simpler ones just elude us. Why it is that we can’t grasp them right when we want to, or cobble together the correct letters to form them?

Or maybe I’m just dumb? But if I am, I’m joined by all these people.

14. Walfus

My friend you definitely need to let go.

13. A science person

I believe the word you’re looking for is “sciencetitian.”

12. Pullsh

When you’re trying to vibe with the universe but it keeps sending you mixed signals.

11. Paseggiliti

Sounds the name of some obscure Italian opera.

10. Four score and seven years ago…

Let a new era for this country bacon.

9. Chliloptee

Maybe we should visit a hospital first as you seem to be having a stroke.

8. Spelling counts

Steal me away!

7. Ukrllendbd

But how long before you learn to spell it?

6. Liquid zoo

That sounds like an absolutely horrific place.

5. Unsleep

Sounds like you’re already sleepin’.

4. Atsgama

Sounds like a superpower nobody wants.

3. Noha

Look at the name, then look at the name of the store.

2. What even?

“Yeah, it’s Stephen, with a PH.”

1. Portal Potty

Now you’re thinking with portals.

That’s enough words for today. My brain can’t store any more.

Have you ever forgotten a super simple word?

Tweets About Autocorrect That Are Ducking Perfect

Autocorrect is a mechanism in our phones and other devices that’s supposed to save us from our own clumsiness and lack so spelling skills so we don’t look like idiots in our textual correspondence.

And yet, more often than not, it feels like they actually cause the idiocy to occur.

Would we be better or worse off without it?

Let’s let Twitter decide.

15. Mighty mighty

That changes quite a bit.

14. Let them eat cake!

Gather the flour and begin the revolution.

4. A 12 pack

2. Holiday spirit

Yeah, it me.

1. Absolute maniac

Maybe your phone has been overtaken by the spirit of The Joker and you just don’t know it yet.

Don’t know if autocorrect is a force for good in this crazy world or a force for evil. Maybe chaos.

One thing’s for sure – it’s given us no shortage of jokes.

Maybe that was the true intent of the software all along…

Is autocorrect worth having or not?

Home Improvement Fails for You to Laugh At

I’m going on the record here…I’m not the handiest guy in the world. Nor do I pretend to be!

I think a lot of people out there don’t want to admit that they have no idea what they’re doing when it comes to home improvement, so they try to do it themselves…and the results are usually not pretty, folks.

Choosing Beggars Who Are Bad at Negotiating

They say that beggars can’t be choosers, but that’s not always true.

As with so many uses of the word “can’t,” it might more properly be replaced with the word “shouldn’t.”

Beggars SHOULDN’T be choosers, because when they are, they end up looking very silly, and then they get showcased on subreddits specifically designed to call them out. Like these people did.

12. If you need

“I’m a YouTuber. Which one? Don’t worry about it.”

Friend tried to sell his Nintendo Switch on eBay… from ChoosingBeggars

11. Free will

That’s the sprite.

If you’re not gonna pay for multiple sprites, there’s no chance you’ll get that game done. from ChoosingBeggars

10. Charity

“Have you thought about starting a small business instead?” What?

I don’t even know what’s happening, am I crazy?? from ChoosingBeggars

9. Free for me

I mean sure, B-movies on DVD aren’t worth a lot, but come on dude.

Wants them for free and wants free shipping from ChoosingBeggars

8. Dishonest

Nobody gets angrier faster than someone who doesn’t grasp basic concepts.

How dare you inconvenience me by making me pick up the item you’re giving away for free from ChoosingBeggars

7. My son…

Your son is sick so you…need a free chair?

This CB threatens to kill person over $150 chair from ChoosingBeggars

6. The naked truth

Well this exchange is just all kinds of awful.

Guy asked me for a nude so he can draw me. I sent one, then he asked for more… from ChoosingBeggars

5. Feeling twitchy

I’ll be on the lookout for all those flying pigs.

“I’ll pay you back when my twitch blows up” from ChoosingBeggars

4. No

I genuinely don’t even understand what the internet is anymore.

Yall should see the number of women dropping their venmo codes there, pathetic from ChoosingBeggars

3. Qualifications

This is what you show an older person when they hit you with JuSt GeT a BeTtEr JoB tHeN.

Laundry list of professional requirements- 88 cents more than minimum wage. from ChoosingBeggars

2. Crazy mad boys

“You don’t know who I am or what I’m doing and I offer you nothing, but come work for me.”

Yeah sure. All work and no benefits 😀 from ChoosingBeggars

1. Park it

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure disability stickers entitle you to more CONVENIENT parking, not free.

Two WHOLE dollars?! I always get it for free!!! from ChoosingBeggars

Beggars shouldn’t be choosers. But they’re gonna anyway. Just try to make sure you’re not counted among their number.

Have you had a situation with a person like this?

13 People Trying to Make the Best of Being at Work

Nobody really likes to be at work. Well, ok, not NOBODY, there are those weirdos out there who show up to an office every day and legitimately say “I love my job,” but these people are sociopathic and deranged. There is nothing behind their eyes, they may not be human, and they should under no circumstances be trusted.

However, for the rest of us, it’s not so much a matter of loving our jobs as just kinda making the best of the fact that you have to be there. And the internet is absolutely full of examples of great ways to do that, which you can look at instead of doing your job at work.

Here are a few ways to spice up work:

13. Be a hero

They said I had to wear a mask, they didn’t specify what it had to look like.

Awkward Tweets That Are the Ultimate in Tone-Deaf Cringe

There’s a lot of cringe on Twitter. Like, A TON.

But some of it transcends the usual cringe. Some of it skyrockets into “I think maybe we should call someone” levels of cringe, or even the dreaded “I’m pretty sure you’re trolling but even if you are what would possess you to want to troll in this way?” level of cringe.

It’s a lot to deal with. It’s not for the weak of mind. It’s something that you really have to steel yourself for. That said, prepare to steel away, because we’ve got a collection of Twitter cringe that might exceed all previous known levels of the phenomenon.

(Except where they involve public figures, all identities have been masked in order to protect…I dunno, all of us, I guess.)

11. Robbing the cradle

Age differences speak louder than words.

10. Please be kind

Um…ok. What the heck does that even mean?

9. Burn baby, burn

When the sky gets left on red, am I right?

8. Where wolf?

“Hello, internet police? Yes, I’d like you to shut it down please. The whole thing. I’m sending you a screenshot.”

7. Subtle loathing

Cool, I need to go take a million showers now.

6. Notice me Ariana

If this wasn’t written by a very very young and misguided person then I’m sincerely scared.

5. Dead serious

When the next war starts, it will not be for resources, nor land, nor for Holy glory, but for the memes.

4. Taking off

You’re not about to like tag your soundcloud, are you?

3. The masks we wear

Ok I wrote that last caption as a joke and then I read this one.

2. Princess

Genuinely this one makes me queasy.

1. Keep her memory alive

…thanks?

If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go shudder myself out of existence.

Which one is the cringiest?

Twitter Moments That Will Make You Cringe Forever

There’s a certain amount of responsibility that comes with passing along cringe. Especially nuclear weapons grade cringe. The kind of cringe that will melt your face off if you look right at it like the Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones.

So, fair warning, the Twitter cringe you’re about to see is a lot. It’s too much. And we’ve removed all the identifying names and faces in order to protect the…innocent? The guilty?

Just consider it a general protection spell cast on this entire mess.

14. Jar jar stinks

The less I say about this one the more likely I am to have a shot at going to Heaven.

13. What the S?

Your kinks are fine, but don’t publically pull in people who didn’t consent, that’s insane.

12. I can’t do anything

And the internet just moves right along.

11. Something to chew on

Maybe the lumber company didn’t think anyone would try to eat their houses, bro.

10. Six feet under

Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope.

9. The hoops

Is there um…is there a big market for that kind of thing?

8. On the upsell

For anyone who doesn’t know, Forex is just a global exchange market that’s completely unhelpful to the vast majority of us.

7. Watching, waiting

“Hello! I’m a stalker! I’m doing illegal stalking things! Here’s my public confession!”

6. Kinda fine

HOW is the INTERNET so CONSTANTLY THIRSTY?

5. Kinda sus

I think the sus thing here is that you’re a person old enough to use Twitter who is casually displaying your bed wets.

4. Pic-me-up

Yeah, what are you even complaining about?

3. The back up

Nothing’s ever really gone.

2. Getting away

Yanno, it’s less that this happened, and more that you’re volunteering it to the world unprompted.

1. Killer looks

…where do you even begin with this?

Well, that’s enough of that for now. And forever. For the rest of my life.

Which one is the most cringe?

People Think These Things Turn Hot People Ugly

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what makes us change our minds?

That’s what Reddit user Antoinewhite wanted to get to the bottom of in their post:

What turns an attractive person ugly? from AskReddit

Let’s find out what the folks of r/AskReddit say turns hotties into notties.

1. P-U.

their smell

– WaterSpell

2. Give a little.

Selfishness.

– OutsideRich

3. Not so common.

lack of common sense and humanity.

– jhinleon

4. Hotty or haughty?

Arrogance is definitely a huge turn off.

– sea8cloud8

5. It’s very revealing.

Being an *sshole to waiters, janitors, and the like.

Or just being an *sshole and having a sh*t attitude about everything.

– CitizenHuman

6. Like and subscribe.

Social media obsession

– NuclearWinterGames

7. Manipulation.

Twisting a situation that they caused, so it’s more favorable for them.

– gliitch0xFF

8. Anybody home?

Personality of a wet mop

– alleycatt_101

9. “One of the boys.”

When I was 15, my cousins best friend was the cutest boy I had ever met… Until I got to know him. He was cocky and talked down to any girl that he didn’t deem beautiful enough to put his charm on. He was never really mean to me because I was “one of the boys” but that just let me see what he was truly like towards girls in general.

He quickly became the ugliest person I knew. In turn, one of the “funny looking” kids in my class quickly became my crush because he was just so nice!

His inner beauty outshined his big ears and crooked nose before the first week of school was over.

So yeah, personality is a game changer

– saymynamebastien

10. Learn something.

Ignorance. I hate people that don’t know anything and choose to not learn anything new.

People who think they’re better than others, who choose to not learn about cultures or people’s identities, it just makes me mad.

I can see no beauty in a closed off brain.

– JustAPlane22

11. Shut it.

Chewing with their mouth open

– BigIreland

12. Stuck in the old.

Not being willing to try new things. Went on one date with a guy who listed the 4 or 5 foods he eats then got mad that the Italian restaurant didn’t have any of them (I forget what they were but they were child foods like chicken fingers or something).

He then yelled at the waiter that he only eats “real american food”. Strike 2, treating people like sh*t. Strike 3, perception of American exceptionalism. I chugged my wine, paid, and left. 5 minute date.

While I was chugging, he asked if I could pop his back pimples. I almost puked on the table

– AhFFSImTooOldForThis

13. You’re not all that.

Really don’t want to sound like a douche, but for me it’s someone that are snobby, dumb or indecisive.

I don’t mean uneducated, I mean dumb.

Plain dumb.

– CupidXII

14. Calm down.

treating you like you’re lucky to be with them

– Brother_Bishop

15. Got anything else?

When being attractive is their only personality trait

– Black__Mesa

I’d say that’s a pretty good starter list, but it could be a lot longer.

What would you add?
