This woman figured out a way to make money on Tinder and it's way too easy.

0
0

Turns out, we've all been doing Tinder wrong this whole time. Instead of using the dating app to get laid or make our parents uncomfortable, we should be using it to extort cash from gullible strangers. Unless you have one of those things known as a conscience, in which case you shouldn't do this because it is not nice. But I have to admit it's also kind of genius.

A 20-year-old woman named Maggie Archer figured out a simple way to make money on Tinder: she wrote in her profile, "Send me $5, see what happens 😏."

She also has no pants on in her profile pic. That part can't hurt.

Her scam worked.

If you're thinking of trying this at home, the emoji is crucial. The 😏 emoji indicates the possibility of something sexual. And it turns out, men will fork out $5 for even the possibility of something sexual (ok, we all should have known that already).

So what happens when men send her $5?

Bye, Felicia.

She unmatches them, sending them away into the abyss of internet anonymity. It's the work of pure evil genius.

And like many evil scams, it's lucrative.

She's made $35 so far. Not bad.

Maggie took to Twitter to share her scheme with the world. So at least she's generous with her extortion!

"The best possible use for Tinder," she wrote. Her tweet has been shared nearly 8,000 times. And most people are praising her for being a hero and a genius.

While others are comparing her to the internet's favorite scammer, Joanne.

And some people just followed her lead.

But the strategy didn't work for everyone.

So proceed with caution before trying this at home, or you could lose your Tinder privileges. Plus, it's a bad thing to do so maybe that will dissuade you.

No? Alright, fine. Scam your hearts out, internet.


Here's to airline workers for keeping us safe from 11-year-old girls in leggings.

I wouldn't have to wear leggings on flights if I didn't have to do yoga poses to fit in the seats.

Customer who was rude to a Starbucks barista redeems herself in viral letter.

0
0

As a former barista, I know dealing with rude customers is part of the job. So when a customer was rude to this Starbucks barista, he probably forgot about it quickly and moved on to the next thing. Such is the service life.

But the woman who was rude to him couldn't let it go. In fact, she did some self-reflecting and realized her behavior towards the barista was wrong. Then she came back the next day to deliver this note, which the barista, who goes by the name Circle Addict on Reddit, posted on Imgur:

"A woman came through the drive through yesterday and got a little irritated with me because we didn't have drink carriers," he wrote. "Today, she came back and handed me this."

In a letter which also contained a $50 bill, the remorseful customer had written this thorough apology:

Greetings Starbucks Barista! Yesterday at your drive thru we had a less than cheerful encounter. At no fault of yours, you were out of carriers and said you could not take my empty cup (trash). I was less than understanding and my manner was curt. I need to apologize. The thought of leaving a trail of unkindness like that is not the path I want to reflect. Not for you, not for me. You are a young man, clearly working hard to build a fortune and you should be commended. Keep your attitude of cheer & hope. Stay hopeful no matter what kind of people cross your path (or drive thru). Surely, God has good blessing in store. You taught this ole lady something yesterday about kindness, compassion & staying humble. I thank you! God bless you today and all your todays. Debbie.

This is refreshing. Apologies in general are so rare—but especially from rude customers, who have the luxury of never returning to the scene of their rude crime. But this one came back, owned her behavior, and even brought cash. Overall, a solid apology.

The letter has gone viral, and hopefully has inspired other formerly rude customers to do the same, or at least be nicer in the future.

Besides, being rude to anyone who is about to hand you a beverage is just straight up dumb. Be better, people. Or you could be sipping on someone else's saliva.

Just saying.

Dads share the funnest, 'girliest' knowledge they've picked up from their daughters.

0

It's a cheesy old saying, but it's true: parents learn from their children just as much as children learn from their parents: from patience and unconditional love, to Disney Channel lineups. Redditasked fathers of daughters to share the "girly thing" they now have "vast knowledge of," and they delivered a list of essential skills.

1. DeadVince is down with Princess Sparkle.

My little pony. I could probably pass a brony entrance exam at this point.

2. Scis1984 can style.

Braiding. I have a good on handle on about 10 different styles of braiding now.she is known for her braids at school.

3. ShesQuackers's dad is always prepared.

My dad is the king of hair elastics.

Despite the fact that my two younger sisters and I haven't lived in the area for 5-10 years now (and both sisters went through an extended phase with short hair), the man has enough hair elastics to build an escape rope from the top of the CN Tower. He keeps:

  • a handful in his wallet
  • a couple on the gear shifter in his pickup
  • some on the shifter in the highway tractor
  • full pack in both tractors and the combine
  • a few in each toolbox
  • a few in each quad

He's also damn handy with a blowdryer, but that's got more to do with cattle shows than us daughters. Can't braid for shit either.

4. Moonripple616 can do pedicures with surgical precision.

Painting toenails. My hands are steady as fuck now, and I can paint even the smallest toenails without getting any on the skin. After two daughters, I've become so proficient at it that my wife will have me paint her's sometimes.

5. Every purse has a purpose, as Kingsolomanhere knows.

There are so many purses, and they all have there own meaning and use.

6. Soomuchcoffee can accessorize.

My kid is just one, but my bow to outfit coordination is on fucking point.

7. Csjohnson has a leg up.

Difference between leggings and yoga pants, because apparently from my daughter and wife, there is a major difference. There are also Jeggings.

8. Cabnboy is a Disney Junior senior.

I'm learning about a lot of things but as my girls are only 4 and younger, I have become an expert on Disney Junior shows. I was way more interesting in learning Doc McStuffins' real name (Dotty) than I probably should have been. When the new show Elena of Avalor came out, I was the one who set it to record because it looked interesting and I was excited to have a new show to watch!

9. MadLintElf has a way with the iron.

I never knew that I had a knack for straightening out hair, but apparently I do and she asks me to do it even when mom is home.

10. BighouseJD knows the secrets of the Girl Scout hustle.

Thanks to having a daughter, I now know the ins and outs of Girl Scout cookie sales. I got roped in to being in charge of cookies her first year in scouts. They take that stuff seriously.

What nobody sees: somewhere behind the scenes, a parent who has no recordkeeping or math skills has been turned into the accountant for the cookie mob.

Sean Spicer had something in his teeth and Twitter lost it.

Sound the alarm: Sean Spicer's mouth has embarrassed him once again, and this time it's not even what came out of it. It's what's inside that Spicer mouth this time, plastered to those Spicer teeth, obstructing that Spicer truth.

Yes, Sean Spicer took to his press briefing on Monday with a blemish in his face. But since Twitter's already mocked him for his crazy twists of logic, wearing his flagpin upside down, and boldly lying, they decided to let this faux pax slide.

Just kidding—that's an alternative fact. Twitter was brutal. After all, this is a man who reportedly swallows two and a half packs of gum by noon each day. How'd it miss that fleck of spinach?

Delta responds to United's leggings debacle with one perfectly savage tweet.

0
0

United Airlines made headlines over the weekend after two girls were barred from boarding their flight because they were wearing leggings, which apparently violated United's dress code. The airline has since faced backlash from Twitter users, celebrities, and now, even their fellow airlines.

In a statement posted on the airline's website Monday morning, United clarified that the two girls who were prevented from boarding their plane were "pass riders," relatives or friends of United employees who receive free or heavily discounted airfare. The statement continues:

When taking advantage of this benefit, all employees and pass riders are considered representatives of United. And like most companies, we have a dress code that we ask employees and pass riders to follow. The passengers this morning were United pass riders and not in compliance with our dress code for company benefit travel.

"To our regular customers," the statement concludes, "your leggings are welcome."

After the statement was released, Delta airlines threw some subtle shade at its competitor in the form of a gloriously crafted sub-tweet.

Savage.

Women subtweet United Airlines with stories about the first time their clothes were sexualized.

0

"On Sunday, United Airlines refused to let two young girls board a flight because they were wearing leggings, which apparently violates the company's dress code. Outrage poured from the feeds of hundreds of angry tweeters, including celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Patricia Arquette, but also started an important conversation about the sexualization of girls' clothing from an early age.

It all started when writer Dana Schwartz of The Observer posed the question, "Ladies, when was the first time you were made to feel embarrassed and sexualized for what you wore?"

After Schwartz shared her story, women started posting their own experiences.

Soon the hashtag #StopShamingGirls was born, and women from all over the web recounted the times they were made to feel humiliated for what they wore before they were even old enough to understand why they were being shamed.

Many of the stories had to do with publicly shaming and embarrassing girls.

In some stories, girls had to miss school because of things as trivial as short skirts and spaghetti straps.

Schwartz also pointed out the sexist double standard when it comes to dress codes.

On Monday, United released a statement explaining that the girls in question were classified as "pass riders"— passengers who get heavily discounted or completely free airline tickets because they are relatives or friends of United employees. These passengers are held to a higher standard of appearance and must adhere to the company dress code. Regular passengers are allowed to wear leggings on their flight.

This viral tweet is breaking every duck-lover's heart, one bread crumb at a time.

0

A Twitter user seemed awfully ashamed, at least for someone named @ProudSlytherin, as she destroyed the childhood memories of thousands of pond visitors across the world. Apparently feeding bread to ducks—and watching them mob around and desperately fight for crumbs—is not the charitable activity you wanted to believe it was.

The photo, at the edge of a waterway, reads from the perspective of the ducks:

Thank you for not feeding us bread

Bread makes us ill, as it does not contain the right nutrition or calories that we need to keep us warm in winter

Rotting bread pollutes our water and causes nasty surface algae, which kills our fish and gives us diseases. It also makes our water smell

Do you feel like a monster?

An article from The Guardian in 2015 confirms as much, saying the bread affects water quality and can "lead to potentially fatal or disabling health conditions" for the birds. Here's the most heartbreaking paragraph of their PSA, which you can read in its entirety here:

“There’s also a risk that ducks and other water fowl could get an illness known as angel wing, which is caused by not getting the right nutrients in their diet. The illness causes a deformity in birds’ wings that can hamper the way they fly or even stop them altogether, which could obviously be fatal.”

Your relaxing afternoon with your family? It broke a bird's wing and then it died! But your duck-loving days aren't over. In the future, here are a ton of safe options The Guardian recommends you feed those quackers in place of bread:

  • Cracked corn
  • Wheat, barley or similar grains
  • Oats
  • Rice (cooked or uncooked)
  • Birdseed (any type or mix)
  • Grapes (cut in half)
  • Frozen peas or corn (defrosted, no need to cook)
  • Earthworms
  • Mealworms
  • Chopped lettuce or other greens or salad mixes
  • Chopped vegetable trimmings or peels
  • Duck pellets

Now get yourself a bag of earthworms and make it up to all those birds you wronged! They're waiting with bated breath and it's not like they can go anywhere—you broke their wings, remember?

Chrissy Teigen hates Fox News, lets them know in savage tweet.

0
0

You really do not want to piss off Chrissy Teigen on Twitter (or probably anyplace else). This weekend, the supermodel weighed in on a United Airlines controversy, slamming United Airlines for not allowing girls wearing leggings to board the plane. Then, when Fox News wrote up that story and tagged her on Twitter, Teigen told them to never tag her again, thank you very much, adding "Words cannot explain how much I detest you."

Chrissy Teigen has been a vocal opponent of President Trump, so it makes sense that she also hates Fox News. And people on Twitter who feel the same loved her for saying it so succinctly.

As mentioned, Fox News was not the first to feel Chrissy Teigen's wrath recently. After United Airlines banned those girls from flying simply because they were wearing leggings (they were children, FFS), Teigen tweeted at United, "I have flown united before with literally no pants on. Just a top as a dress. Next time I will wear only jeans and a scarf."

We wouldn't be surprised if she does it, too. Look out, United.

Patrick Stewart in drag looks just like Kellyanne Conway and the internet can't handle it.

In April of last year, Patrick Stewart dressed in drag for a screening of his Starz show, Blunt Talk. Now the internet is going crazy over how much he looked like Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway.

Here's a photo Patrick Stewart tweeted from the screening.

The resemblance to Conway really is uncanny.

Obviously, Twitter went nuts.

Some people tweeted at Saturday Night Live, requesting that they bring Patrick Stewart on to play Conway.

I'm holding out hope for a Parent Trap-style summer blockbuster where Stewart and Patrick switch places and no one notices. Fingers crossed!

Let's share an umbrella so neither of us stays dry.

Paris Jackson has the best response to people freaking out over her armpit hair.

0

Paris Jackson boldly dared to bare all (of one armpit) on Snapchat and people got "really mad" about it, the 18-year-old shared in an Instagram story over the weekend. The reason for the outrage? Her armpit had not been shaved in several months and from it sprouted a small tuft of hair. Can you believe it????????

Uh, yeah, I can. Pit hair is even kind of in style right now. And in France, it never went out of style. Also, who cares?

Yesterday, Michael Jackson's middle child took to Instagram to respond to the haters who took issue with her unshaved pit."I didn’t realize that people were going to get so upset over my armpit hair," she said in an Instagram story, according to Refinery29. "I didn’t realize that was such an issue. It is so funny."

The whole thing is especially funny when you see the Snapchat photo she posted originally. Here it is:

Clearly people were making hairy-mountains out of mole-hairs.

"It took me two months to grow that shit," she said in her Instagram story. "It’s not a lot, it’s really not, but I’m fucking proud of it. Really proud. And so many people are so mad."

How mad though? "People are really mad," she said. "I wish I could post some of these responses. You can just tell how angry and infuriated these people are."

But Paris Jackson, who is no stranger to cyber-bullying, didn't let the outrage over her pits get her down. In fact, it only seems to have deepened her love of hair and armpits in general. "I love hair, and sweat, and BO," she said. "I fucking love it, I think it’s great. Some people think that it’s like super disgusting, especially on girls, but every human body does it. It’s natural. Get over it."​​​​

She also posted this sarcastic clap-back on Twitter:

So take that, hairy armpit haters! I hope she grows out her armpit hair long enough to braid it and keeps posting pics. Or she can shave it, whatever. The point is: her armpits, her choice.

Furious mom goes viral with video of her son's 'horrifying' TSA pat-down.

Another day, another nightmare story about the TSA that will make you want to cancel your travel plans indefinitely. Especially if you have a kid. A woman named Jennifer Williamson shared a video on Facebook of her son Aaron being thoroughly pat down by a TSA official at the Dallas Fort Worth airport, despite the fact that he set off "NO alarms" and passed through the initial detector with no problems, she claims.

According to Williamson, the problems began when she requested that he not receive a pat down because he has a condition called Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) that affects his nervous system. As a result, she says, "we were treated like dogs." Her son was detained for "well over an hour" causing them to miss their flight.

"I am livid," wrote Williamson on Facebook. She also shared a video of the TSA pat down in in hopes it would go viral.

We have been through hell this morning. They detained Aaron for well over an hour at DFW. (And deliberately kept us from...

Posted by Jennifer Williamson on Sunday, March 26, 2017

But according to Williamson, this wasn't the worst of it. "I wish I had taped the entire interchange because it was horrifying," she wrote. Her whole post reads:

We have been through hell this morning. They detained Aaron for well over an hour at DFW. (And deliberately kept us from our flight... we are now on an alternate) We were treated like dogs because I requested they attempt to screen him in other ways per TSA rules. He has SPD and I didn't want my child given a pat down like this. Let me make something else crystal clear. He set off NO alarms. He physically did not alarm at all during screening, he passed through the detector just fine. He is still several hours later saying "I don't know what I did. What did I do?" I am livid. Please, share... make this viral like the other children's videos with TSA... I wish I had taped the entire interchange because it was horrifying. We had two DFW police officers that were called and flanking him on each side. Somehow these power tripping TSA agents who are traumatizing children and doing whatever they feel like without any cause, need to be reined in.

As she had hoped, Williamson's video went viral. It has been shared over 33,000 times, wracking up thousands of comments, mostly from people horrified at the TSA agent's behavior.

Of course, there are two sides to every story. But given my own experiences with TSA and airports in general, I'm inclined to side with the mom on this one.


Customer tries to film cockroaches in café and gets slapped by employee in viral video.

Law student Arpan Verma had a very bad day at a café. It was so bad that it will put all of your bad café experiences to shame. And if not, I am so, so sorry.

According to a post going viral on Twitter, Verma was at a popular coffee chain called Cafe Coffee Day in the city of Jaipur, India, when he spotted "cockroaches and other bugs" crawling inside the café fridge. It seems the café was trying to hid the infestation behind menus.

GROSS.

Somehow, it gets worse. Verma claims he alerted the employees but they continued serving food from the infested fridge. So he began filming the bugs on his phone, when a café employee walked around the counter and slapped him in the face, causing him to drop the phone.

Verma caught the whole bizarre incident on video, which his friend, law student Nikhil Anand Singh, shared on Twitter:

"A big slap to consumer and consumerism," he wrote. Clever!

Singh also shared this statement from Verma:

In Verma's statement, he claims that after slapping him, the employee "started falsely accusing me of harassing her and abused me in front of the present customers."

The coffee chain says it is aware of the incident and is investigating, so that's nice. "The incident has been brought to our notice and has been escalated," said Cafe Coffee Day in a statement to NDTV. "Our corporate affairs team is in talks with the consumer and the internal cafe team to ascertain facts."

I dunno, Cafe Coffee Day, that video looked pretty fact-filled to me...

'Teen' Jimmy Fallon and Demi Lovato don fake braces, pigtails, and make out with pillows. It’s weird.

0

The "Ew!" segment on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is basically what nightmares are made of, and this latest episode delivers on all of the (intentional and unintentional) cringiness that we have come to expect.

Jimmy Fallon played his speech-impediment ridden character of Sara (no H at the send because "H's are EW!") and Demi Lovato joined him as Sara's friend Emily.

Ah yes, making out with pillows. This is totally an accurate portrayal of the average 15-year-old girl!

Demi Lovato definitely played a more subdued and relatable teen girl (minus that bad prom dress from 1984), and her look was definitely giving us some major Camp Rock vibes.

Except more sparkly! PS- where can I get those emoji hair ties?

Also, "Emily" should probably be give her BFF "Sara" a makeover, because her makeup is on point.

To watch Jimmy Fallon transform from 42-year-old man to 42-year-old man in a wig, check out the video below!

Teacher cries tears of joy after finding out Ellen DeGeneres is paying off her student debt.

In a heartwarming clip from Ellen, host Ellen DeGeneres read a letter from and then brought onstage a woman who had learned English from watching her TV show. The woman, named Ekhlas Ahmed, is a refugee from Darfur, Sudan who came to the U.S. with her family when she was 12. She's now an English teacher studying to get her Master's degree. Grab some tissues, you're going to need them.

After speaking to Ekhlas Ahmed on stage, Ellen informs her that she's going to sell the calendar the teacher and her students made in the official Ellen store. Ellen then tells Ahmed that with the help of Shutterfly, she was paying off the the teacher's student debt, to the tune of $22,000. And now everyone is crying happy tears.

Adorable child sees a broken water heater and thinks it's a robot. Time for robo-hugs.

In a leading candidate for "favorite video you've ever seen," a little girl met a broken water heater on the curb. Yes, she "met" it. Because to her, those big, round sockets looked just like the eyes of WALL-E. And since kids are better than adults at technology—and this kid's seeing an autonomous android in a water heater—maybe Kellyanne Conway's microwave comments make a little more sense now. Everything's a robot.

Kids these days! Watching movies on their iPads, suing Donald Trump over climate change, recognizing robots and hugging them instead of fearing them.

Back in my day, we would have run from the robot. Kid, take me to the 22nd century.

Twitter can't decide if this t-shirt for sale in Trump Tower has a typo or not.

0
0

This t-shirt that’s for sale in the Trump Tower gift shop in New York City makes absolutely no sense.

Politico's chief Washington correspondent Edward-Isaac Dovere tweeted the picture of the t-shirt, which reads "shut the fake up media."

Yeah, wearing that would be a bigger faux pas than using Scotch tape in place of a tie clip.

Wait. Is the shirt meant to say, "Shut up the fake media" or perhaps "Shut the fake media up"? Is it meant to be some kind of word play on "Shut the f*** up, media"? In that case, the shirt is missing a comma. No matter what the intention was for this t-shirt, something definitely got lost in translation.

Of course, Twitter had a few thoughts (and a few jokes) on the matter:

Hey, Donald Trump hardly makes sense when he speaks, so why should his merchandise be any different?
