Every one of us has done cringy things at least once that haunt us right before we fall asleep. For a select few folks, these dumb ideas come up more often, so they never miss a chance to be a little stupid and get in trouble. 

That’s why we’re celebrating all those people whose silly actions and behaviors always bring everyone around them a lot of joy. Even if you scroll through these photos and wonder how anyone can be so dense, you’ve got to admit they’re unintentionally very funny.

    Tipping culture is toxic. Don't tip. Yes, I know that hurts the workers that depend on tips. But that will encourage them to stand up for their rights, unionize, and demand fair pay, and that's the only way to solve the problem. I say this as a person who has been a tipped worker and likely will have to be again.
