Think of all the cringeworthy things we do. Like realizing you were walking the wrong way and having to do a complete 180 on the street. Or assuming your coursemate asked for your number because they thought you were cute and gently telling them that you're seeing someone only to understand they just wanted to work on your group project. What about waving to someone who's definitely waving to a person behind you? That's a classic.

Now multiply the embarrassment these actions have caused you by approximately 1,325 and you'll know what to expect from r/Cringetopia. As you may have learned from our previous publications on this subreddit here, here, and here, it's the place to go to when you want to confuse and disturb your mind. Which, I guess, everyone has to do every once in a while to keep themselves in check—if you find that the content below doesn't bother you at all, please contact your shrink.

Why should we ruin this promising young woman's life just because of a fickle guy who can't keep his wallet closed?

    If that guy sexually assaulted that woman, people would be talking about her "asking for it" because she was drunk. Then, in spite of camera footage, he'd get two months in prison, if at all.

    This is a common type of fraud. A person you may not know too well will ask to borrow your phone. They'll text themselves to get your number and check if you have any payment apps. Some people leave their apps open and that person now has access to your bank account.

    When we joke about stuff like this, which happens a lot. It truly disrupts how serious it is. People joke and mock bad behavior all the time. It's become a thing. Be it spite, hatefulness, disrespect, harassment, or any other awful behavior you can think of. People joke about it, then one someone points out how serious it is. They respond with it's a joke or chill out, it ain't that serious. When it really is serious and awful. I don't know if it's because things have become so bad. When we see, hear, or read about stuff like this. We just laugh at it because we don't want to feel bad or deal with the seriousness of what's actually going on. I'm not sure why we do it but it's definitely something I've noticed happening a lot. Kind of scary when you think about it.

    If she didn't want to give him her phone number, all she had to do was not give him her phone number. I wouldn't want to be around this woman unless everything I owned was nailed down. Asking for a phone number is not a crime. Stealing $2,000 is. She is not a hero.

    You have to wonder if Elon has employed someone to do his social media for him and they are having a field day of taking the p*ss

    Can we ban tikfuck already, please? It's nothing but a propaganda platform moderated and controlled by a regime that commits genocide, yet nobody gives a shít. The ignorance is ashaming.

    Trigger warnings are fair in certain circumstances but like many things, have been misunderstood and co-opted for far more general use than they should be. A "trigger warning" is not everything that might be weird or hurtful for some person. People like to use phrases they hear without knowing what they mean. See also: Woke, CRT.

    Well, I kind of agree based on just the two pictures. Where are vegetables? Lots of carbs and fat. If there's a sandwich, that has enough carbs. And serve potatoes instead of fries. But then there are people starving so I guess nobody has a right to complain about nutrients.

    I'm sorry, but he should really rethink his profile icon, it looks more like a dildo than a rocket. (Or it could just be that I have a dirty mind!)
