A Typical Trip To The Mechanic
Step 1: After ignoring the loud rattling sound your car has been making for weeks, you finally decide to take it to Tom's Auto Care down the street.
Step 2: You pull into the lot but have no idea where to park. You pick a spot and hope it's cool.
Step 3: It's not cool. A worker yells at you to move so you are not blocking other vehicles.
Step 4: You walk up to the front desk and assume the gentleman working there is Tom. You say, "Hi Tom, I'm here to get my car looked at. It's been making this awful sound."
Step 5: The gentleman introduces himself as Frank and hands you some forms to sign.
Step 6: Frank asks you to describe what's wrong with your car, and after stammering for a minute you finally tell him it makes weird noises a lot and you think it's the brakes.
Step 7: Frank informs you that they'll check it out very shortly. Unbeknownst to you, simply "checking it out" will cost you $50.
Step 8: You head to the waiting area. It's the grossest waiting area you've ever been in, equipped with greasy chairs, two magazines from 2006 and a broken vending machine.
Step 9: After a half hour, you walk out to see if your car is being worked on yet. Nope.
Step 10: You walk across the street to get some coffee in hopes that when you return your car will be miraculously fixed for cheap. Nope.
Step 11: After another half hour in the disgusting waiting area, another mechanic named Dale finally fetches you to inform you of your car's problems.
Step 12: You find out you were right -- it's the brakes. But it's also the shocks, the front axle, the rear tires, the fuel pump, the air filter, the radiator and you should really replace those windshield wipers, too.
Step 13: You receive a rough estimate of $4,000 to fix everything, which is about double your car's total value.
Step 14: You tell Dale you can't afford that, and ask if they can just fix the brakes for now. Dale says they can do that for $400 but won't be able to get to it until tomorrow
Step 15: You decide you don't want to give these shady scammers your business, so you just pay them the 50 bucks for "checking it out" so you can leave. You will keep driving your death mobile until it completely breaks down, at which point you will cry, curse the automotive gods, and be forced to use public transportation.

Italian Actress Wrecks Herself Doing The Splits On Live TV
On one hand, you can execute the move flawlessly, and you do it easily because you are either a gymnast or yoga master who pretty much does it on a regular basis. On the other hand, you can totally wreck yourself trying, and it's probably because most human bodies aren't built for proper execution of the maneuver.
Well, meet Lisa Fusco. She's an Italian actress who recently posted a picture of herself successfully pulling off the splits on her Instagram page, and we'll admit that she looks spectacular. And since it was a picture, we'll assume she probably took her sweet ass time getting into that position. So, we know that she can do it if she's given a few seconds to do so.
But live TV is a different beast, and Fusco learned that the hard way when she recently appeared on what looks like the Italian equivalent of "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" and tried to reassume the position.
Our advice for Fusco? You guessed it: Don't ever do that again, girlfriend.

Texas College Girl Drives Around In Barbie Jeep After Her DWI Arrest
Tara was coming back from a Waka Flocka Flame concert (she should be arrested for this fact alone) when she was pulled over and asked to take a breathalyzer test. Tara refused, and not only did her license get suspended, but she got arrested, too. Here's her upbeat mugshot:
But not to fear, because Craigslist is here. That's where Tara went to get her $60 used Barbie Jeep.
"It goes pretty fast when it's just me, so I usually make them [her friends] walk behind me like parents taking their kid out to play. I'm just happy everyone thinks this is so hilarious," Tara tells My San Antonio.
Tara is now seen driving around campus in her new ride, living the dream.

Old Man Requires Emergency Surgery To Remove Sex Toy From Rectum
After spending 10 hours trying to remove what was referred to as a roughly 9-inch "phallic object" from his ass, a 68-year-old man decided it was time to put matters into the capable hands of Mater Hospital in Dublin, Ireland.
Claiming "severe lower abdominal discomfort, distension and inability to pass urine, flatus or bowel motions," doctors attempted a manual evacuation of the dildo before deciding that forceps and plenty of anesthesia would be required.
Reportedly, this incident actually took place in December 2014, but was only recently documented in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports. The report also added that "the removal of phallic objects requires ingenuity," since, though cases like this aren't particularly uncommon, the objects used -- light bulbs, spray containers, bottles, etc. -- vary.

Umbrella Gives Sheep A Run For Its Money
We're not sure what would be more irritating: being a sheep with an umbrella stuck to your back as you frantically try to shake it loose, or having to listen to the woman in this video say "Aww, poor sheep" on a constant loop. Considering the fact that the sheep manages to free itself eventually, we'd probably have to go with the latter because it gets rather annoying after your second or third viewing. However, either torture would clearly be better than being the black sheep of the group, as you can see at around the 14 second mark when it is clotheslined by the very same umbrella causing all the trouble. Who would have thought that expression actually applied to real sheep?

Hugely Successful TV Shows That Started Off On The Wrong Foot
Seinfeld
Starting with one of the smallest episode orders of the time with just five, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David's hard to handle New York foursome had a slow first couple of seasons. By season three, however, the characters started to find their places on the show, with Kramer coming more into his own and Elaine becoming part of the inner circle instead of just being Jerry's bitchy ex-girlfriend. The show also recast original characters early on and added great recurring ones like Puddy and Newman, whose hatred of Jerry was hilariously never explained. By season four, it was a full-blown phenomenon, with the Season 9 series finale raking in more than five times the viewers of its pilot. Too bad most of our favorite "Seinfeld" side characters are now dead.
Married... With Children
Not everyone was a big fan of the misogynistic Al Bundy when he first premiered on Fox's "Married with Children" in 1987. The series was a bit unprecedented for a primetime sitcom, especially one about a ladies shoe salesman who liked to make fun of women - hefty women mostly - and hate on his family. It's blunt, unabashed sense of humor made it tough to maintain any advertising, and while the show struggled early on, people eventually embraced it for its candid approach to the American lifestyle by the fourth season. We can especially relate to the hand down the front of the pants' position while watching TV after a long day of work at a job we detest, which is still popular today.
Breaking Bad
Although many will say "Breaking Bad" is one of the best drama series they've ever laid eyes on, not nearly as many were watching the show from its inception, coming in around the third or fourth season to binge watch their way to the current one. The show started off like most dramas where the characters are everyday people, but by the third season, word had gotten out about the meth cook who went from pushover cancer-ridden chemistry teacher to hard-ass southwestern kingpin. The series finale was all anybody could talk about, going from a quiet AMC drama to a trending topic in a blink, and quadrupling in viewership compared to its premiere season.
The Walking Dead
With a short six-episode run for its pilot season, the slow-paced, zombie-laced drama had to spend its early episodes weeding out worthless characters with poor storylines before finding out if its meandering would go anywhere. But the writers eventually got a sense of which characters worked, and if the latest Comic-Con trailer of the new season is any indication, we are in for some new exciting plot lines which will hopefully point towards where the show might end. Just don't expect that to happen anytime soon now that "Fear the Walking Dead," a Los Angeles-based spin-off series, has recently premiered.
The Office
Trying way too hard to reproduce the charm of its BBC counterpart on American turf, the cast and writers of the Steve Carrell led comedy had to work through a short first season to realize what didn't work after ripping off the British pilot. By season two, the characters were clearly better established, feuds were made a bit more clear and Michael Scott's hair was fixed a bit, too. Slowly, each character grew a lovable identity - except Creed - for themselves. Kevin, you fat idiot, we're even talking about you.
Parks and Recreation
Any fan of the NBC mockumentary series "Park and Recreation" who re-watches the first season will notice the painfulness of having a show full of under-utilized characters. Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott and Rob Lowe - albeit the latter two weren't actually originally cast members - had little of the spotlight compared to Leslie and Ann Perkins, with actors like Aziz Ansari even being underused in the early episodes. Season 2 was lightyears ahead of its pilot season, and by the end of the show's run, all the actors we just named were basically running the show.
King of Queens
The Queens-based comedy was a poor man's "Seinfeld" in the late '90s, but despite its multiple miscasts early on, as well as emphasis on fat jokes, the show would eventually steal our laughs with Kevin James' constant real-life Homer Simpson-esque lifestyle. Once they rid the show of its overly-New Yorker type unlikeable characters and Jerry Stiller's James living in the basement, it was impossible to stop laughing.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
After two decades of "Star Trek"-free TV, someone felt it necessary to make more, starting up in 1987 with poor character chemistry, cheap costume designs and cliche plot lines that spoiled the series in comparison to its final seasons' ending in 1994. Eventually the show found its footing, which is difficult to do when you're on a spaceship. You've got to hand it to the writers for making it work with most of the original characters.
The X-Files
Before there was summer TV's hottest new show, "Aquarius," there was "Californication." But before that was "X-Files," featuring everybody's favorite '90s paranormal detective duo and a place for folks to get their Duchovny fix. Co-starring Gillian Anderson, the hot young special agents Mulder and Scully uncovered more than 200 episodes worth of monsters. The show wasn't always as big, though, struggling to sculpt its two main characters and even more with less than high-definition shots in 1993. The show did decent in the ratings early on, but by the late '90s, it was a full-blown cultural paranormal phenomenon.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
In terms of cheesy vampire mythology, the path was paved by Sarah Michelle Gellar's sexy stake swinging in Joss Whedon's pre-Avengers directing days of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." The original 1992 film, starring Luke Perry and Kristy Swanson, to preface the series set the tone for vampire fiction, but it took Whedon at the reins to figure out the landscape of television with his cast and the network. Though the show did alright initially, its performance was completely overshadowed by the the size of the crowd watching by the end.

The 11 Worst Fan Bases On Earth
Beliebers
Around 2010, fans of that swag-obsessed Canadian tool bag we lovingly call Justin started calling themselves Beliebers. Beliebers are generally preteen girls who live in the suburbs and would probably join ISIS if it meant killing all non-Beliebers. They've been caught on camera bawling over Bieber's mere existence, making tribute videos to him and even attacking Mark Wahlberg's wife for not being a true Belieber. They are basically religious fundamentalists who want to squash the infidels, and we should probably start calling them domestic terrorists at this point.
Twihards
The good news is Twihards are slowly dying out. Robert Pattinson is done with both the "Twilight" films and that dirty ne'er-do-well Kristin Stewart, so we can comfortably say the fandom will go extinct by 2020. Crack the champagne.
PewDiePie Followers
PewDiePie is a YouTube vlogger who plays video games in real time and comments on them. He has received more than nine billion views and has a net worth of $12 million. If that wasn't sufficiently infuriating, PewDiePie says "bro" a lot and speaks in a Swedish accent that makes you want to claw out your eyes (not that Swedish accents are particularly annoying, just PewDiePie's in particular).
Sasaengs
Remember when Kim Jong-il died and North Koreans went batty and cried a river over it? Well, the Sasaengs, a subculture of psychotically obsessed fans of Korean pop stars, exhibit similar levels of hysteria constantly. They've kidnapped pop idols, stalked them by hiding out inside their homes and even sent love letters written in menstrual blood to them. On a side note, I once lived with an Asian girl who would shriek uncontrollably whenever her favorite Korean celebrity would appear on TV. I suspect she was a Sasaeng, as well. I'm glad I made it out alive.
Juggalos
If there's one way to guarantee yourself unemployment, it's to paint your face like a clown and listen to the Insane Clown Posse. Yes, the Juggalos aren't the brightest bananas in the bunch, but they do make us giggle with their silly antics. I do not claim to understand them; I only want to know why.
Radiohead Fans
Radiohead fans have a reputation to be music Nazis who think their band is better than your band because their band is better than all bands (counterarguments be damned). If you have any wisp of criticism for Radiohead, they will tell you you're wrong because you're not sophisticated and brooding enough to understand Thom York's brilliance. They think they're interesting, but it's been proven Radiohead fans are boring. Science.
Raider Nation
Every season it seems like there is at least one shooting, two stabbings and three bathroom births that occur within Oakland Coliseum. No one knows why Raider Nation is comprised of such barbarians, but the general feeling is that it has something to do with living in Oakland.
Westboro Baptist Church
This pious group of intolerant bastards are notorious for being just that. No one really likes them because they don't like anybody else, but they keep popping up out of nowhere to cause a ruckus. They've been documented telling gays that Jesus disapproves of their lifestyle (in harsher terms), saying Jews are only Jewish if they're Christian (which doesn't make a lot of sense) and that Obama is Satan incarnate.
Columbiners
Columbiners are fans (mostly female) of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, the Columbine killers. They're based on Tumblr, and they should be spayed and neutered immediately. I'll leave it up to Vice to dig deeper, because I'm already getting angry.
NAMBLA
NAMBLA is the ultimate fandom for old men who are fans of young boys. It was believed that NAMBLA went defunct because of Chris Hansen's eradication of them on his show, but he missed a few. They are still active.
ISIS
As mentioned when this list first started, fans of ISIS are almost as bad as Beliebers. And that's saying a lot.

Teens Steal Air Jordans At Gunpoint, Get Arrested After They Post Facebook Photo Wearing Them
It's always fun to read about criminals who are complete idiots. Two Georgia teens decided it would be a good idea to steal someone's Air Jordans - sneakers valued at about $170 - at gunpoint at a bus stop in Jonesboro, Georgia.
"You need to come up out those shoes," one of the teens told the victim, according to the Clayton County sheriff.
The two teens fled soon afterwards, but made it fairly simple on the cops by posting the photo above of themselves on Facebook. A photo that included one of the teens wearing the stolen sneakers. Keep using those brain cells, fellas.
One of the guys, 17-year-old Davon Luckett, was the one wearing the stolen black and silver shoes in the photo, and he was quickly arrested. Then his dumb partner, 19-year-old Reed Markee Deandre Williams, was also arrested soon after.
Each of these teens have been charged with felony aggravated assault and armed robbery.

Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks it's justified to treat others like dirt: you will walk into a door at some point and everyone will laugh at you for being such a miserable person in the first place. Perhaps she should've gotten "Pull" right the first time.
