15 People Who Got Screwed By Online Shopping

If you've ever seen a deal too good to be true, chances are you saw it online. It used to be infomercials that took advantage of us lazy, bored and gullible shoppers, but now, online shopping has made it even easier to suck us suckers into buying literal shit (for anyone who bought that one Cards Against Humanity set, this statement should really ring true). So how do you avoid getting screwed by online retailers who are willing to capitalize on how stupid we, the people of the internet, are? Learn from the mistakes of the following 15 people: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! 

1. It literally looks like that dress was constructed out of a bunch of your grandmother's old panties 

My apologies for that mental image. 

2. When it said "kitty tent" in the description, you probably didn't realize it was actually made for a cat

3. The new MacBook sure is light...

4. Another item made for your cat, because god knows it won't cover your nipples 

Sometimes, it's not what's in the package that's the problem, it's the package itself 

5. Sometimes, not even special delivery instructions can save you...

6. The chipmunks need a place to sit too

7. Bet they didn't see that one coming

8. Lesson learned, don't shop at an adult fun site for your Halloween costume 

The next online order straight up stinks

9. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Unless it's a fucking onion

10. What is this? A carpet for ants?!

11. Sweet, it'll go great with your new rug...

12. Spend over $50 and receive a free camel toe! 

At least the color is somewhat similar, which is more than we can say for the next item

13. That's what you get when you order your wedding dress online

14. I sure hope that wasn't for the honeymoon 

15. No. That's not a nose print...

Who just squashes their dick into the screen like that? There's no way that's a good angle.

People Are Arguing Over The Answer To This Equation

Are you the type of person who enjoys a good challenge? Every once in a while, a puzzle or math problem is shared around the internet that stumps people or leaves everyone arguing about the correct answer. A new equation is being shared like crazy, and it's causing a bit of an uproar. At first glance, it looks quite simple. Regardless, people can't agree on the correct answer.

Can you solve it?

SHARE this equation with your friends on Facebook. Can they solve it?

The equation requires both addition and multiplication. That shouldn't be too difficult, though, right?

But that looks really easy... What's the issue?

Let's start with the top row...

Okay, so that adds up to 17.

We're good so far!

Most people are arguing about the next part of the equation, or whether we should even start with the top at all.

If we simply go from left to right, we would add 1 to 11, which is 12. 12 plus 1 is 13. But if we multiply 13 by 0, wouldn't we just get 0 plus 1 on the bottom? Sorry folks, this can't be correct. Do you know why?

 BEWARE! The correct answer is at the bottom of the page. Don't scroll too fast if you want to solve it on your own.

The correct answer is 30. Let's break it down.

Remember PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction)? PEMDAS, otherwise known as the order of operations, is one of the most important aspects of mathematics and determines where in a long equation you should begin. In this case, to get the correct answer, you would need to first multiply 1 by 0. When you take away this 1 and 0 from the equation, you will add the rest of the numbers to get 30.

SHARE this equation with your friends on Facebook. COMMENT if you found something different...

People Are Angry After Young Woman Has Job Interview Cancelled For Asking One Question

When someone applies for a job, they generally want to know what they are getting into before making a huge commitment to a company. Phone or in-person interviews take a lot of time and preparation and it's totally normal for there to be an honest forum for questions related to the job you hope to land. Sometimes, though, this communication can break down and become contentious. 
This is exactly the situation Taylor Byrnes from Manitoba, Canada had to deal with when interviewing for an online food delivery company she hoped to work for...
Leave a COMMENT on Facebook letting us know what you think of this company's response to Taylor. 

Meet Taylor Byrnes from Manitoba. 

Taylor has made the news after a bizarre set of interactions she had with a company she wanted to work for. 

Taylor became interested in the company SkipTheDishes, a startup that does online food delivery, and decided to send in an application. 

Taylor was then contacted by talent acquisition coordinator Victoria Karras with an offer to set up a phone interview.

So far, her interaction with SkipTheDishes was going pretty well.

What happened next has thousands of people responding to Taylor's story online. 

She simply wanted to ask a question that many people ask when considering a new job...

Taylor sent this polite email to Karras asking about pay and the potential benefits that the job may offer. 

She asked, "If I do end up filling this position, how much do you think I'll be getting paid an hour? Benefits will also be included, right?"

Nothing out of the ordinary, I would say.

To be clear, Taylor had one phone interview before this email interaction that went well. This is an important point to consider as she was already involved in serious talks for the job. 

Karras replied saying that the planned interview would no longer take place because Taylor's priorities "are not in sync with those of SkipTheDishes."

This definitely doesn't seem like a normal response to a reasonable question. 

But it gets more interesting...

Karras felt the need to clarify her point and sent Taylor another email. 

Because that kind of response definitely needs an explanation...

Karras clarified her point but seems to have made things worse, to be honest. 

She went on to admit that Taylor's questions were legitimate but explained why she wouldn't be a good fit. 

As the email continues, Karras explains what she thinks it means to want to work for a startup company. 

"As a startup company, we seek out those who go out of their way to seek out challenges and new opportunities. We believe in hard work and perseverance in pursuit of company goals as opposed to focusing on compensation," wrote Karras. After this, she wraps up her email...

For these reasons, Karras believed that "questions about compensation and benefits at such an early stage is a concern related to organizational fit."

There you have it, she was no longer in the running for a job at SkipTheDishes.

Wrong, just wrong...

After taking a screenshot of the emails and posting them to Twitter, people started reacting, to say the least.

Here are two comments that represent the general sentiment of the response. Some users think it was slightly abusive to act that way to Taylor while others plan to fully boycott the company. 

A good amount of the conversation that ensued related to appropriate time to ask a potential employer about compensation.

As you can see in this comment, some believe that you should ask about pay as early as possible. 

After Taylor's post went viral, one of the company's co-founders found it necessary to respond...

The company's co-founder, Joshua Simair, released an email statement concerning the interaction Taylor had and recognized that this was not normal. 

"We are very disappointed in how it was handled. We do share a compensation package prior to hiring. As soon as we became aware of it on Monday, we reached out to Taylor to apologize for the email and reschedule her interview," he said. 

That definitely helps, I would say. 

 Not only did Simair express disappointment, he assured everyone that training measures will be taken.

"We've also addressed the email internally and will be providing additional training. We are very committed to our community, employees and continuing to grow and create employment opportunities..."

What do you think about how Taylor handled the situation?
