When you’re working for a corporate coffee giant, and your only job is to cater to the cranky, caffeine-deprived public, you’re bound to reach a point where you just don’t care many pumps of syrup Tony wants in his macchiato, and if the patron’s name is “Brian” or “Brain.” You write it down however you want, even if you get mocked later on the interwebs like these dumb baristas did.

Dumb restaurant owners let their crazy flag fly on Facebook

May 16, 2013 3:01 PM | permalink

Posted by Tina

If you want to sink your business, set up a Facebook page for said organization and call all of your potential customers horrible names.

A couple of crazies in Arizona did just that when they went off on a bizarre rant targeting their so-called “haters” on Reddit and Yelp. The deluded duo initially appeared on a show called Kitchen Nightmares, which promptly booted them thanks to their completely insane antics. Then it all escalated from there when someone handed over the Facebook password.

Workout video has an unwanted cameo

May 16, 2013 1:01 PM | permalink

Posted by Ritch

Normally, when I watch a workout video, my first thought is “who gives a crap?”

Finally, I have an answer.

Pause the video at the :21 second mark, and look closely.

Something tells me that the “drive your hips forward” advice might speed things up for him too.

Law prof wants to eliminate C’s to cheer up dopey, lazy students

May 16, 2013 9:12 AM | permalink

Posted by Nik

Law professor Joshua Silverstein wrote a piece in the University of San Francisco Law Review that’s sure to make him a hit on ratemyprofessor.com. He wrote that law schools should “substantially eliminate” C grades because they’re too stressful on students.

Silverstein argued that students who see a big fat C written on their paper would leave them psychologically damaged. Really, “psychologically damaged?” If he thinks getting a C is that traumatic of an experience just wait till they get that first student loan payment. Real trauma is having to pay back a $150,000 law school tuition.

He went on to describe other ways that low grades might damage students.

Posted by Tina

Babies are like tiny drunk adults. (You’d never mess with a little guy on his 15th shot of Jäger.) However, that doesn’t mean these new-life beings are easily understood by those of us without a PhD.

Most of you know the basics — babies purge at an alarming rate, they have mysteriously soft heads, and they’re fascinated with the dumbest imaginable nonsense. But what about the creepy stuff that no one tells you? These nightmare-inducing factoids are guaranteed to scare you celibate:

Donkeys eating people food

May 15, 2013 2:00 PM | permalink

Posted by Ritch

Donkeys eat A LOT of things.

I know this because I just went to YouTube and searched for “Donkey Eating.” As an interesting side note, I have health insurance.

Anyway, drink deep of this collection of idiots feeding donkeys people food, along with the wonderful things they say out loud. I know you’re busy, so should you want to skip right to the hot, donkey-eating action, I’ve also included the time-coded moment of initial consumption.

Enjoy!

Moment of Initial Consumption: 1:03

Man destroys his $430,000 Maserati

May 15, 2013 12:18 PM | permalink

A man in China with a sledge hammer and a few hundred thousand to burn recently smashed his Maserati Quattroporte to protest the car dealership’s poor customer service. Yeah, that’ll show ‘em.

The man, who was only identified as Wang (no joke here, that’s his surname), accused the dealership of using inferior parts, scratching up his car, and being charged for repairs they didn’t make. Sounds like car dealerships are the same where ever you go.

Fed up, Wang and his paid group of merry mashers showed up at a car show being held in the eastern city of Qingdao to beat the car to a $430,000 pulp. Then, in case enough people didn’t see it,
