Hopefully you’re having a better day than these people are.

Lots of movie and TV tropes use bank robberies as a way of adding drama to a situation, but what are you supposed to do when it’s the ATM that’s holding your money hostage?

Premium Disappointment
On the theme of getting bamboozled out of money, this Twitter user was so determined to match on Tinder with her crush after she accidentally swiped left that she shelled out $10 for Tinder Premium so she could instead swipe right on his account.

Eventually they realized that it was part of the mug's design.

I remember how nervous I was when I first did my learner's test. But if I saw this during my exam, I’d throw the computer out the window.
Back to the city bus for me.
This Is Why I Don’t Go To The Gym
I’m sure there’s a perfectly good explanation for why there’s a set of teeth marks embedded into the leather of a machine at the gym, but like hell if I’m sticking around to find out what that is.
Just another reason why I stay curled up at home in my bed.

Seems like a pretty big thing to just forget, though.

Apparently, this woman wears her hair in braids, so this stray hair can't be hers, and she's enlisted the internet the try and find out who it could belong to.
We're guessing she didn't get very far in her investigation.
