Hey, ya dumb jerk! Shut up and listen to me! Research shows that workplace rudeness is contagious.

"No, you're a buttface!" (via Thinkstock)

You know how you go home at the end of the day and rant and rave to your significant other and/or pet and/or poster of Ryan Gosling about that big rude jerk who keeps bugging you at work? Turns out the problem might actually be you. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, researchers have discovered that workplace rudeness is as contagious as that cold everyone in the office has.

According to an article about the study from the University of Florida, where the study took place, doo-doo-head behavior led to more doo-doo-head behavior:

The study tracked 90 graduate students practicing negotiation with classmates. Those who rated their initial negotiation partner as rude were more likely to be rated as rude by a subsequent partner, showing that they passed along the first partner's rudeness. The effect continued even when a week elapsed between the first and second negotiations.

And it gets worse — the rudeness affected not just the people in the negotiation, but also people watching it. These onlookers (aka "lookie-loos," which I'm pretty sure is the scientific name for them) were also more likely to be rude to others. And everybody was generally tolerant of workplace rudeness, despite the fact that it "has an incredibly powerful negative effect on the workplace," according to doctoral student and study co-author Trevor Foulk.

So, the next time someone at work is a big jerk face to you, turn the other cheek. And by that, I mean "turn the other cheek and either save your complaints until you get home or complain about them to strangers on the Internet instead of being rude to their face."

Britni de la Cretaz posted a photo of herself breastfeeding and she doesn't know which one her Facebook friends flagged it as offensive.

Hey, jerk who claims they're Britni's friend, breastfeeding photos are allowed according to Facebook's policies, so all you're doing is anonymously broadcasting your disapproval of some side boob. Here's what she says about that in the post above:

To the person who reported my nursing photo for nudity:

1. Joke's on you because breastfeeding photos don't violate Facebook's community standards.

2. Unfriend me right now. I'd unfriend you myself, but Facebook doesn't say who reported a photo. If you're not okay with seeing me nurse my child, you don't deserve to witness any part of my life. I share it in full here, and guess what? I'm a nursing mom. I'm not ashamed of it, either. In fact, I'm proud of it.

3. If you're offended by the sight of a breast (sans nipple, even!), you're a hypocrite. I'm going to go ahead and guess that you don't report everyone's bikini photos for nudity, right? There's nothing indecent about using breasts for what they were intended for. Maybe if we didn't objectify women to the point that our bodies exist solely to be sexualized and consumed by the male gaze, this wouldn't happen.

4. Here's the photo again, just to you piss you off. Me and my kid are both giving you the stink eye.

Guess what this friend did next? If you guessed that they realized they don't have to see this lady's boob at all if they just unfriend her, then moved on with their life, you are WRONG.

Oh, so someone reported my nursing photo for nudity again. The one where I'm calling out the fact that it had been...
Posted by Britni de la Cretaz on Sunday, July 26, 2015

Britni's response to getting flagged AGAIN reads:

Oh, so someone reported my nursing photo for nudity again. The one where I'm calling out the fact that it had been reported for nudity. So here's another nursing photo.
I'll keep posting them as long as folks keep reporting them.‪#‎normalizebreastfeeding‬

Whoever this person is, they're really committed to policing another person's breast... from a cowardly distance. Other moms, at least, are show their support and filling the comments with their own breastfeeding pics:

Look at all these women showing off their boobs!(via Britni de la Cretaz)

Though I do think women should be able to breastfeed in public without anyone losing their cool, Britni wasn't even doing that. She was posting a pic on Facebook with her friends from the privacy of her own home. Ironically, the person who flagged her is the one who made Britni go public. Normalize breastfeeding! Or work that unfollow button, "friend."

I hope it's me!!!!

#BREAKING Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux -- HUGE House Party ... Wedding? (PHOTOS) http://t.co/Un11xvyBaj via @TMZ
— Anthony Dominic (@tmzanthony) August 6, 2015

According to TMZ, those ants wandering around in a sea of tea lights in the above photograph are actually wedding guests of perennial spinster Jennifer Aniston. While we were imagining Aniston spending the summer crying (and then rehydrating with Smart Water), she was actually planning a wedding at her Bel Air mansion that "surprised" everyone last night. Or more likely, someone planned it who was paid very well to recreate the final scene of She's All That.

The concept of a surprise wedding for a celebrity is hilarious. Just picture being the person who was like, "Eh, I don't feel like going to Jennifer and Justin's thing tonight. It's just gonna be another passé crudité and cocktails thing. Nothing special." Then you wake up in the morning, check your Instagram feed and your eyes pop out of your head when you realize what you've skipped. Talk about FOMO.

Oh, yeah, she married long-time partner Justin Theroux, not Ross. Also, this is the first thing that came up when I Googled "Jennifer Aniston married":

He's...3 years old? (via...Google)

Apparently, now that he's married Jennifer Aniston, it's just a short dash until the end. But what an accomplishment!

I saved a bunch of rent money by living in what's essentially a closet, but you don't see me bragging about it.

Sam Cookney ran into the same problem anyone runs into living in a big, popular city like London: His rent was too high. So high, in fact, that he tweeted he could live in Barcelona and commute to work for less than the amount of money he's paying to live in London:

Done the sums. Would actually be cheaper for me to rent 2 bed flat in Barcelona+commute to London, than get 1 bed here. Genuinely. Blog it?
— Sam Cookney (@Sam_Cookney) October 24, 2013

Everyone thought he was joking, but he took to his personal blog to hash out the budgets for living in both cities. He realized that by living in Barcelona and taking cheap flights to London, he could save 387€ (around 400 bucks) a month and have a bigger space to himself. So after his lease ran out, he said goodbye to his shared London flat and moved into a two-bedroom Barcelona flat with a rooftop terrace. He commutes five and a half hours a day, traveling by train, plane, and foot. Even though the journey seems pretty terrible, Cookney says that it's "surprisingly easy and seamless." He runs in the morning before his flight and then naps on the plane. He even has time for a "Pret coffee and bacon and cheese croissant en route." Here are some pics from his commute:

Looks way better than the L train. I know, right? God, the fucking L train.

With 10 of the country's zaniest Republicans all occupying the same stage, this is one of the most dangerous debates in living memory for viewers playing a drinking game.

Don't drink every time Ted Cruz makes you roll your eyes; only drink when Ted Cruz makes one of the other guys on stage roll their eyes.

To avoid death by alcohol poisoning, here are some tips for moderating your GOP-based booze intake.

• Only drink every time Trump says the stupidest thing you've ever heard. So, saying POWs aren't war heros because "I prefer the people who don't get captured" won't cut it, because you've already heard that. You'll still have to drink the first time he talks, probably, but at least you can take a breather until he tops himself each time.
• Only drink every other time someone in your viewing party or someone onstage calls Rand Paul "Ron" by accident. Do still drink if Rand pouts when this happens.
• Fill your shot glasses with beer, not liquor, for every time the camera cuts to a sad, dejected Rick Perry lurking behind a curtain.
• Boot and rally every time the son and brother of former presidents talks about restoring the American Dream, where anyone can make it with hard work.
• Drink any time Ben Carson relates politics to neurosurgery, a topic he is actually knowledgeable about.
• Drink when Ted Cruz elicits an actual eye-roll from one of the other people on stage, all of whom hate him even more than Trump.
• Don't even bother trying to keep your liquids down if Mike Huckabee defends Josh Duggar or claims to be the defender of the Jews against a second Holocaust.
• Switch to coffee any time John Kasich launches an ill-fated attempt to make an actual point.
• Don't drink every time Scott Walker utters the Koch Brothers' words, only drink when his eyes roll all the way back in his head and the two billionaires speak directly through him as their vessel.
• Whatever you do, do not drink every time Chris Christie threatens to physically harm teachers. Or reaches for his smartphone to ask underlings to enact revenge on a teacher. Or holds up a photo of a teacher and silently burns it.
• Do not chug for the entire time Bobby Jindal inevitably streaks across the stage. He will be greased up and surprisingly hard to catch.
• You can still drink every time you find yourself wondering whether you are starting to like Marco Rubio.

Cara Grace Duggan, a resident of Belfast, contacted a stranger about buying his used Nutribullet blender.

She needed it to feed her cancer-stricken mother dietary supplements. The guy who posted the ad for the blender lived in London, so she also asked him if he could ship it to her. After she sent him a text explaining her situation, he immediately express-shipped her a brand new one, no questions asked. You can see their text exchange below, which is pretty damn heartwarming. Cara's story went viral, which really helped bring in some donations to her GoFunMe page for her mother. Thank god she didn't need a Vitamix, though; I don't know any philanthropist who'd be kind enough to shell out for one of those babies.

When Isis Wenger agreed to appear in a recruiting ad for her company, she didn't anticipate the reactions she got.

She seems pretty cool. We must destroy her!(via Medium)

Isis Wenger is a platform engineer at OneLogin. When she was asked last-minute if she wanted to appear in a recruiting ad, she agreed, despite the fact that being famous is one of her "biggest nightmares." Still, the ad was only supposed to run in the San Francisco Bay Area's BART train system, and only Silicon Valley engineers were expected to take note. Nobody counted on the Internet's response. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't great.

Like most Facebook comments, this could use more fact-checking.
(via Medium)

Many commenters felt the same way. They assumed that Wenger was a model hired to play an engineer, and they questioned why anyone would believe something so ludicrous. An attractive, young, female engineer with hip glasses?! They might as well have put the Loch Ness monster on the ad.

Others questioned the quote, because it's also impossible to believe that any engineer would like her coworkers. I don't know if these commenters also work in tech, but I hope not. It's starting to seem like a grim field.

The reaction quickly made its way back to Wenger, who was offended, but not surprised. She wrote an article for Medium to explain her feelings, noting that this is hardly her first experience with sexism in the tech world. She gave two particularly startling examples:

"I've had men throw dollar bills at me in a professional office (by an employee who works at that company, during work hours)."

"I've had an engineer on salary at a bootcamp message me to explicitly “be friends with benefits" while I was in the interview process at the school he worked for."

At the same time, Wenger used her article to point out that this behavior is not constant, nor were these two men "bad people." The deeper problem is with the tech world in general:

"This industry's culture fosters an unconscious lack of sensitivity towards those who do not fit a certain mold."

Now, she's taking a more proactive approach: hashtag justice. In her article, she introduced the #iLookLikeAnEngineer hashtag.

The best way to look like an engineer is to be an engineer.
(via Medium)

Since her article was posted, Wenger's hashtag has taken off with female engineers, who, like her, are tired of being singled out. In fact, the response has totally drowned out the initial criticism of the OneLogic ad. It's even coming to a San Francisco billboard.

Once she saw the reaction, Wenger was delighted. For someone pathologically afraid of being famous, she'd turned her notoriety into something profoundly helpful.

WOW! This is so overwhelmingly inspiring. I have so much gratitude for all of the support I have been receiving. pic.twitter.com/tqwMsUqp6f
— Isis Anchalee (@isisAnchalee) August 4, 2015

One point that often gets lost in discussions of diversity in the tech industry is this: we desperately need engineers. The US keeps falling further and further behind the rest of the world in science and math, and at the same time, women are abandoning tech in huge numbers, citing a hostile work environment. The fact that we're driving qualified engineers away from the industries that need them because they don't look like stereotypical male nerds is a huge joke. Even if you don't care about feminism at all, it just doesn't make sense.

Kudos to Isis Wenger and everyone else who's keeping #iLookLikeAnEngineer going. If this gets big enough, everyone will see that it doesn't matter what an engineer looks like. All that matters is that they're willing to sit and stare at a screen 10 hours a day until they build the future.

Zoë Kravitz, the Hunger Games actor and daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz, is probably sick of hearing about the fact that her dad's penis popped out of his pants at a concert. It was such a big deal that Steven Tyler sent Lenny a text about it, sort of congratulating him on his dong's overall presentation. Here's the text, as tweeted by Mr. Kravitz himself:

Chelsea Tyler, daughter of Steven Tyler, was the one to break the news to Zoë about their father's penis talk. This screengrab makes me glad my dad is neither famous nor on social media. Both daughters are definitely rolling their eyes in embarassment.

At least he's going to the gym!

Has he had too many protein shakes, or not enough? (Getty)

Rapper Busta Rhymes has been charged with second degree assault for when he threw a strawberry-flavored protein shake at an employee of Steel Gym in Manhattan. We don't know why he did this, and I hope the pink, frothy health drink didn't hurt the employee's physical or mental health.

"Gonna make your body wet!" - Busta Rhymes, moments before chucking a protein shake at a gym employee.
— Jake Young (@BestJakeYoung) August 6, 2015

According to NYPD, Busta and the employee were in an argument that escalated to drink-throwing levels. Was is about the protein shake? Did it taste terrible? Or did it taste so good that Busta thought it must be unhealthy? Probably neither of these things. Anyway, let's watch Busta Rhymes rap about twerking:

Michael Migani doesn't think he's too old to be giving wet willies. Police disagree.

"Everyone is just going to think I touch kids! Now I'll spend the rest of my life having to explain that I only touch them in a really weird and specific way!"
(via Shelton Police Dept)

In what will go down as the most questionable decision of his life, 34-year-old Michael Migani put his finger in his mouth and then stuck it in the ear of a 4-year-old child. This action is known to grade-school children and emotionally arrested adults as a “wet willy".

His assault on the child's personal space occurred in a business's waiting room in Shelton, Connecticut. Truthfully, we've all been there before. Waiting rooms are painfully boring and can bring out the petulant inner child in all of us. Yet, unlike Migani, we understand that god invented smartphones so that we may occupy ourselves instead of rubbing our drool on strangers.

Shelton police have charged Michael Migani with second-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree breach of peace, which is a relatively minor offense. Yet, Migani will always live with the shame of being that weird old guy in the news for inappropriately touching a young boy's ear.

Perhaps his decision to give an innocent boy a wet willy was motivated by years of bullying. Perhaps it was because of the alternative or rock or rap or heavy metal music he listens to (or violent video games—all I know is that culture is to blame!). In all likelihood, it's because Michael Migani is a total creep who never learned to keep his hands to himself.

Good luck getting a job after that one, freakazoid. Next time, have some impulse control.

Move over "career success," "buying a house," and "caring for my parents as they get older, because they've done so much for me." I just want to feel as joyful as this dog.

Rose is a Boston Terrier who apparently just learned the game of "keep the balloon off the floor." And boy, does she love it. She loves it more than I love 90% of the things that make up my daily life. What do I need to do to get this joyful? Keep a balloon off the ground? Go to therapy? Socialize with other people instead of spending all of my time on the Internet?

...nah. I should probably just watch this video again.

In case you missed it, Carly Fiorina won, Rick Perry said "Ronald Raven," and the Fox moderators basically just asked the candidates to confirm they were Republicans.

Jon Stewart totally annihilates—then decimates—natural aging processes.

As Jon Stewart is stepping down from The Daily Show, the tributes are rolling in. This rapid-fire supercut—a hypercut more aptly—gives you a chance to watch baby-faced Jon Stewart transform into silver fox Jon Stewart.

This time lapse was crafted by Billy Chasen, a long-time viewer and initially a Stewart skeptic:

I've been watching The Daily Show ever since Jon Stewart took over for Craig Kilborn and I declared, "this'll never work!" This is my send off to his profound impact as host.

Billy also recommends watching in HD, so you can see what a profound impact the George W. Bush Administration had on Stewart's follicles.

Debates are actually pretty boring, but someone accidentally making a jerk-off motion is always hilarious.

You may not have made it into the first-tier debate, Santorum, but your superior GIFs are never second best. 

Jon Stewart's final episode had many memorable moments, but in particular one of the most memorable farewell addresses since Eisenhower.

'Daily Show' clips go viral. Tweets go viral. But hand-typed transcriptions of a host's television address with no video or audio attached? That must be good television.
