Since Mercury went retrograde last week, we have a perfect excuse to blame the stars for everything bad – and that’s exactly what all those people should do. Here’s a list of this week’s funniest fails:
1. First of all, these save the dates:

2. I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works, madam:
today this lady tried to pay at the self checkout with an obviously counterfeit $50 bill (we only accept card payments), and when I told her we don’t accept cash she said, “This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous,” and just walked out the front door with her purchases.

Lmfao, the manager at my massage practice asked me what I do for a living. “I draw cartoons for a living.” Then he happily tells me how he just fired his graphic designer because AI is free and fast, and then he pulls out his laptop and shows me. Next time just shoot me with a gun

11. Having to explain mathematics to a professional mathematician:
