15 Times Starbucks Really Blew It

Starbucks does many things well, but getting people’s names right is NOT one of them.

They constantly mess them up, but hey, we can overlook that because the drinks sure are tasty, aren’t they?

But we’re still going laugh at these mistakes.

Let’s do it!

1. Like a genie in a bottle.

2. That was a nice try.

3. Not sure what happened here…

4. C’mon, you messed that up?!?!

5. Wow. Impressive.

6. That’s not nice.

7. Like an airline pilot?

8. Hahaha, not even close.

9. Hmmmmm…no.

10. That is outrageous.

11. Hanida in the house!

12. That’s interesting.

13. Kind of like the Mad Hadder?

14. That is very creative.

15. Bye, Felicia…

Has this ever happened to you? If so, share a screenshot in the comments so we can laugh together!

Here Are the Origin Stories Behind 5 Iconic Memes

Memes are everywhere!

Whenever we search Google… they’re there! Even if we’re trying to find a serious image, we find that mockery instead. BUT… it is the perfect escape to share how you feel and ROTFL at the same time.

So hve you ever wondered where the most iconic images for memes came from?

Let’s take a look at the history of five memes we’re sure you’ve seen before…

1. Side-Eyed Chloe

With over 17 million views on Youtube, this video Chloe was captured as maybe a little confused about going to Disneyland, while her sister, Lily, is crying hysterically. It didn’t take long for this to hit the internet and thus her side-eyed glare became a meme sensation.

2. Ermahgerd Gersberms

Who can’t laugh at the nerdy girl with the Goosebumps books, pigtails, and a retainer? This picture started circulated the meme world in 2012 and has changed text several times, like my personal favorite “ERMAHGERD MERSHED PERDERDER” and the original  “ERMAHGERD GERSBERMS”.

Maggie Goldenberger, the girl in the photo and now a nurse in Phoenix, was 11 when this was taken. She loved acting out made-up characters with friends. So she grabbed her  “costume” and shot a hilarious photo. She later posted on social media and a Reddit User reposted the pic.

3. Disaster Girl

This little girl, Zoe Roth looks like she may have started the fire, amirite? That’s not really the case.

“The fire department in our town was test-burning a house, so we went down to check it out. My dad just got a new camera so he took pictures of me and my brother in front of it. I think I just thought it was super weird and dangerous. I didn’t know it was a test fire until later so I was pretty worried.”

It was later picked up online and eventually made it into JPG Magazine

“Funnily enough, some people asked to take a picture with me the other day at work for the first time ever!” Zoë said, who’s now in college. “It affects me when people make games and books with me in, but mostly my life hasn’t changed.”

4. Doge

This picture went full force 6 years ago and since then many other Shibu Inu memes sprung from this idea. The original, Kabosu, an 8-year-old recuse dog was discovered in a 2010 blog post. And the Verge was on a mission to find out more. After seeing her pup everywhere online the Owner, Atsuko Sato said, “I was taken aback. It felt very strange to see her face there. It was a Kabosu that I didn’t know.”

5. Overly Attached Girlfriend

Laina Morris was just a gal trying to get Justin Beiber’s attention. He announced a challenge to his fans to make a video countering “Boyfriend” and thus Morris’ character for “Girlfriend” was born. But when a Reddit user screenshotted the infamous creepy look, the meme caught fire.

Recently, she posted a video about quitting YouTube and the reasons why.

Pretty interesting origin stories, right? Wouldn’t have guessed how simple some of these were, yeah?

Let us know your favorite memes in the comments and maybe we’ll do another story about them!

An Instagram Influencer Gave a Bad Yelp Review to a Restaurant That Wouldn’t Accept “Likes” as Payment

This “influencer” culture is really pretty confusing, and I’m not sure I understand it completely.

Or that I want to understand it.

And here’s another perfect example of why I feel that way (and maybe why you do, too).

A Yelp reviewer who claims to have over 11,000 Instagram followers (is that even impressive?) wrote a negative restaurant review because the establishment wouldn’t give them free food or drinks.

Yelper is mad because restaurant didn’t them free meal in exchange for potential IG exposure from trashy

Does that sound like an entitled person, or am I completely crazy and living in an alternate universe?

The person said in the review that they thought the food and the service was great but ultimately a 1-star review was warranted because, “I thought she would be greatful [sic] for the free advertising but when the check came there was literally no discount at all. I thought at least one of the entrees would be taken off but they didn’t even take off the calamari or even the drinks!”

Photo Credit: Pixabay

The review was posted on Reddit (it looks like it’s been taken down from Yelp) and other Redditors offered up their own stories in response.

“I work at a hotel near Disneyworld, where rooms can reach 300+/night. It shames me how much we comp and how much ass we kiss for bloggers, “influencers” (whatever the fuck that is), social media personalities, etc., only to have the same losers condescend and treat like shit the employees of the hotel. They are a blight.”

“I also work at a hotel where the rates are 300+/night. We tell self-described “influencers” to get fucked.”

“Just so you know, big thing now is to try to pass yourself as an influencer to get discounts and free stuff. You don’t even really need to be one; you just need to tell people you are. Mikey Chen from Strictly Dumpling admits that even before he became a blogger, he’d hound hotels and airlines to get a discount and exploit his status as an influencer.”

Yikes. Not cool.

Do you have any personal stories similar to this while dealing with a so-called “influencer”? If so, please share them in the comments so we can all vent together.

This Woman Wore 5 Pounds of Clothes to Avoid Extra Luggage Fees at the Airport

Heroes don’t always have to wear capes…

In this case, it was just a whole lot of extra clothes in order to avoid extra baggage fees at the airport. I think we can all honestly say we’ve thought about trying this before, but we just didn’t have the guts to give it a shot – although I have actually seen my friend Dan throwing clothes and other items from his bag into the garbage to avoid those pricey extra charges, so you can always go that route, too.

But that’s not what Gel Rodriguez did. Nuh uh. She bucked the system, took things into her own hands, and became a legend in the process. Well, at least she’s a legend to me.

Posted by Gel Rodriguez on Tuesday, June 18, 2019

Rodriguez was taking a flight from the Philippines when she found out her carry-on luggage exceeded the maximum weight limit. And you know what that means: more money in the pockets of the airlines via extra baggage fees.

The limit was 15 pounds, and Rodriguez’s bag was nearly 20 pounds…so she did what she had to do. She packed on 5 pounds of clothing, layer after layer, to get her carry-on bag to the correct weight limit so she wouldn’t have to dish out that extra cash.

That’s called going above and beyond, people.

when the airline staff at the check in counter said: “EXCESS NA PO KAYO, 7kg lang po allowed na hand carry.”me: NO PROBLEM! ?*from 9kg to 6.5kg baggage ?#ExcessBaggageChallengeAccepted

Posted by Gel Rodriguez on Tuesday, October 1, 2019

Can we name an award after this woman, please?

Thankfully for all of us, Rodriguez took a photo of the iconic photo and posted it on Facebook. Sometimes, social media really can be used for good…

#tbt This Saturday Jensen will be attending his 6th Spooky Pooch Howl-o-ween Celebration at @hillwoodmuseum. Swipe ? to see his costumes to date…⁣ ⁣ Jensen and I look forward to this event every year. He always has so much fun so I really didn't want him to miss it. I got special permission from his vet so he could attend (I just have to get there a few minutes early to get a good parking spot so he doesn't have to walk too far).⁣ ⁣ This contest is the reason I started making Jensen costumes in the first place. That first year we went, in 2014, Jensen had an adorable store bought turtle costume he got from his grandma. I bought orange fleece and made legs cuffs and a belt so he could be Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle (I even tried to teach him to carry nunchucks in his mouth but that didn't work ?). He looked cute but we got killed in the competition – there were so many adorable DIY costumes we just couldn't compete.⁣ ⁣ I vowed then and there to make his costume for the following year and my competitive drive for DIY dog Halloween costumes was born ?. ⁣ ⁣ 2015 I made him spaghetti ⁣ ⁣ 2016 I made him cotton candy (which was cute but the hat really made the costume – sadly a few minutes before we stepped on stage a gust of wind caught his hat and ripped in apart) ⁣ ⁣ 2017 Jensen and I were gumball machines ⁣ ⁣ 2018 was the disasterous sushi costumes we won't even discuss⁣ ⁣ And that brings us to this year – we've got paws crossed this year's costume can bring home theTop Dog prize for our first non-food related costume! And hoping the boys don't get themselves or each other too tangled up when walking across the stage!⁣ ⁣ #wethedogsdc #dcdogmoms #hillwoodestate #spookypooch #diyhalloweencostume #senioristhenewpuppy #seniordog #seniorcocker #halloween2019 #diyhalloweencostume2019 #tinydogsofdc #petsypets #dogsofbark #dcluckydog #hillwooddc #hillwoodmuseumandgardens #tbt #throwbackthursday

These Knockoff Halloween Costumes Really Miss the Mark

I’ve been there: you’re in a rush, you forgot it was nearly October 31, and now you’re scrambling to put a costume together for the big party tonight.

You go to the Halloween superstore down the street and what do you find? A bunch of ripoff costumes that are also very overpriced. It’s enough to drive someone crazy!

Here are 15 knockoff Halloween costumes that you should definitely avoid this year. You don’t want to get laughed out of that party, do you?

I swear, sometimes you’re just better off making your own costume…

1. Potter Teacher Wizard Boy.

Thinking of going as this for Halloween from crappyoffbrands

2. Remember that ’90s movie Notionless?

3. The Beast Boy.

4. Going for a Hunger Games vibe.

Found this at the seasonal Halloween store. from crappyoffbrands

5. Cyber Man or Padre.

6. Big fan of that Stripey Dude.

7. Most women already have one of these.

8. Night Time Romeo.

9. Good ol’ Juice Demon and a Harley Quinn knockoff.

10. “Purple Musician.”

80’s Purple Musician Costume from crappyoffbrands

11. Heroic Maria looks familiar…

Man, I love playing some Super Maria on my Shmintedno Enjoyment system! I hope they make her a Haloween Costume this year! from crappyoffbrands

12. Such a superhero.

13. Dorothy? Maybe?

14. That mischevious worker, I’ll tell ya…

15. And finally, the hit Netflix show, “Unusual Events.”

Hmmmmm…somehow, these missed the mark, right?

Share a photo of your Halloween costume with us in the comments, rip-off or not!
