A Server Made a $5,570 Mistake with a Bottle of Wine and Their Manager Told Twitter

How many of us have made a £4,500 mistake in our lives? Not too many, I’m willing to bet.

Somebody at Hawksmoor Manchester did recently and what the restaurant publicly tweeted about the situation might just shock you.

To the customer who accidentally got given a bottle of Chateau le Pin Pomerol 2001, which is £4500 on our menu, last night – hope you enjoyed your evening! To the member of staff who accidentally gave it away, chin up! One-off mistakes happen and we love you anyway

— Hawksmoor Manchester (@HawksmoorMCR) May 16, 2019

Wow. I mean, that was REALLY nice of them.

So the bottles must have looked a lot alike, yeah?

THEY LOOK PRETTY SIMILAR OK?! pic.twitter.com/JWFW81cbe8

— Hawksmoor Manchester (@HawksmoorMCR) May 16, 2019

Oh… hmm….

But this did inspire people to share their own stories about people royally fucking up on the job…

Heard a similar thing from tech once, story goes someone accidentally wiped the live database or similar and was understandably scared they’d be fired. instead the boss said, “why would I fire you, I just spent thousands of dollars training you.”

— Andrew Taylor (@Andrew_Taylor) May 16, 2019

And it gets worse…

I once by accident released a £90k payment for work that hadn’t been delivered. I was sure I was going to get a formal warning, but my PM was like, “how about you develop a series of steps so this doesn’t happen again.”

— YourFavBlackAuntie (@greendoondoon) May 16, 2019

But most people (and potential customers) were legitimately impressed by the restaurant’s progressive take on the situation…

This is such a great way to deal with a member of staff who has made a genuine mistake – great to read about it, well done to the management team & a lot of leaders could learn a thing or two from this story. Thanks for sharing the story.

— DCC Serena Kennedy (@KennedySerena) May 16, 2019

Others roasted the restaurant for caring such expensive wine. Because what about the homeless people, huh?

Well, they had the perfect comeback for that too..

I’m sure you’re all getting tired of this now, so one last thing, to the people who put homelessness in Manchester next to ‘£4500 wine?!’ and suggesting we have no values: we’ve raised well over £1m for @ACF_UK, work with @WoodSt_Mission and @notjustsoupMCR. We have values.

— Hawksmoor Manchester (@HawksmoorMCR) May 16, 2019

Game. Set. Match.

A Comedian Tweeted an Epic Play-By-Play of the Breakup Happening Right Next to Him

Comedian Kyle Ayers was just trying to enjoy the view on top of his NYC apartment building when a couple began breaking up right next to him. Instead of going back inside, he decided to stay out there and live tweet the whole thing. And boy are we glad he did.

Continue reading below to experience the entire epic saga for yourself.

Sure…that doesn’t sound suspicious at all.

What we wouldn’t give to see what he was wearing that fateful night.

Photo Credit: Twitter: @kyleayers

Time and shit…it’s heavy stuff.

Well, you can’t argue with that logic.

Photo Credit: Twitter: @kyleayers

How dare you be cold!

Photo Credit: Twitter: @kyleayers

…What?

If you wanted labels, you should have dated that successful label-maker your parents tried to introduce you to.

Photo Credit: Twitter: @kyleayers

Busted!

Photo Credit: Twitter: @kyleayers

This guy might want to rearrange his priorities.

What a ride! We wish those two the best of happiness, wherever they are (which is hopefully not together).

These Moms and Dads Won’t Be Winning ‘Parent of the Year’ Anytime Soon

You try to do your best for those little monsters but sometimes you just gotta do YOU. But parenting is a tough gig, right?

None of these folks are in the running for ‘Parent of the Year’ and if these look familiar, you probably aren’t either.

1. Might’ve overdone it

Today’s assignment:

Go to kids’ karate classes and keep screaming “FINISH HIM!”

— Jake Vig (@Jake_Vig) January 8, 2018

2. Do what you gotta do

Nothing says “I’ve got this parenting thing under control!” like using my son’s last juice box as a mixer.

— Sarcastic Mommy (@sarcasticmommy4) September 10, 2018

3. Earmuffs

7yo: The tooth fairy didn’t come last night!

Me: That bitch.

7: What?

Me: What?

— Jessie (@mommajessiec) June 3, 2019

4. When you’re in jail…

Heard my 7yo call my 5yo a dick & I told her it isn’t a word she can say & she asked if she can say it when she’s 15 & I said no & she asked if she can say it when she’s an adult & I said no & she asked if she can say it in jail & I said if she goes to jail then she can say dick

— Ash (an female) (@adult_mom) January 15, 2018

5. TRUTH

I’m trying to enjoy every minute but kids are such freaking idiots most of the time.

— MamaFizzles (@MamaFizzles) January 28, 2019

6. Major headache

The 4 yr old is wandering the house in a life jacket, crying b/c it's clipped. He also cried when I unclipped it.

We don't even own a boat.

— Stephanie Ortiz (@Six_Pack_Mom) July 18, 2017

7. Not cool

My kid got invited to a birthday party and I don’t like that kid’s mom so I bought a musical instrument set that includes a drum, a recorder, and a harmonica. I’ll see you in hell, Bethany.

— Sassparilla (@Megatronic13) January 27, 2019

8. Might want to listen in

Just overheard my 5-year-old tell her sisters, "…and that's how you defuse a bomb," and now I feel like I should probably pay attention.

— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) June 8, 2019

9. That’s why

3yo: Do you want to play princesses with me?
Me: Of course!
3yo: Ok, I’ll be Ariel. Who do you want to be?
Me: Sleeping Beauty.
3yo: How come you always pick her?
Me:
3yo:
Me: *already asleep on the couch*

— Lurkin' Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) March 14, 2019

10. Which one is worse?

Don’t know what’s worse
1) My 8yo called me upstairs to bring him a towel that was two feet away from him
2) I did it

— Robert Knop (@FatherWithTwins) March 22, 2018

11. Ugh

me *brings toddler his juice* What do you say?
toddler: Finally

— Josh (@iwearaonesie) May 19, 2018

12. Pray they don’t notice

I'm the kind of mom who burns one side of the grilled cheese, serves it to her kid with the non-burned side up, and crosses her fingers.

— SpacedMom (@copymama) May 26, 2017

13. Sure…

Pediatrician: They're only getting two hours of screen time a day, right?

Me: HAHAHAHA! I mean, yes.

— Ramblin Mama (@ramblinma) May 5, 2017

14. It’s over

Husband: So we've basically given up.

Me: On what?

H: *gestures to 4yo carefully piling spaghetti on his head*: Parenting.

— Mom Psychologist (@mompsychologist) January 31, 2017

15. Flip ’em the bird

I don't like to point fingers, but sometimes I really want to point my middle finger at the 1yo.

— Marcy G (@BunAndLeggings) February 21, 2019

Maybe shoot for 2020 ‘Parent of the Year’?

Something to strive for…

Tweets About Americans That Are Very, Very Wrong

Americans have a bit of a reputation around the world. Our culture is unique, and we take a lot of pride in being from the US of A. This gives our friends overseas an interesting impression of us – and sometimes they pick up information that isn’t quite right.

Here are 17 tweets that miss the mark when it comes to Americans:

1. This is a horrifying thought

Do Americans actually eat cereal with water???

— Paint Pots Brighton (@PaintPotsBN1) September 30, 2014

Do Americans really say “I quit” and just walk out of jobs I need to know.

— Cry Baby Weenie (@KiwiiEQ) February 16, 2019

13. Maybe I was asleep in science class, but I don’t think so

Twitter Thread Claims “Game of Thrones” Is Basically a Live-Action “Shrek”

Game of Thrones is over and done with – disappointingly, I might add. But as much of a let-down as this last season was for most fans, at least there was Twitter to commiserate with fellow fans and share blisteringly hot takes on the show in meme form.

So it was that Twitter gave us what might be one of the best GoT threads of all time: proof that Game of Thrones was basically a live-action Shrek.

Also? They’re not wrong.

From the explosions of green…
