50 Times People Acted Like Jerks And Were Rightfully Exposed For Their Actions (New Pics)

Human beings can be complex. While we all understand that showing kindness is a net positive for society, many of us still go the exact opposite route and become total jerks.
One can argue that such behavior can be unintentional at times, but the following photos you’re about to see appear to be behaviors of deliberately inconsiderate people. We’ve all encountered one at least once, and it is never a pleasant experience. 

Thankfully, these photos serve as a reminder of how not to act as grown adults and a way to shame such actions.

#21 Illegally Parked Car So Close To My Car That I Couldn't Leave. They Got Fined

Two cars parked extremely close, almost touching, showing people apparently allergic to acting like sensible adults.
My car has an admittedly pathetic turning circle, so I genuinely could not get my car out from the two cars I was parallel parked between. I was tired and wanted to go home to my cat. I called the council, who suggested I call the police. So I called the non-emergency line and explained my situation.
The police were able to look up the registration and contact the driver of the car. They gave her 15 minutes to come remove her vehicle, and to her credit, she did so within 10. The fun part came when the constable confirmed the car was moved, and asked me to email over the photos I had taken. I was informed, to my delight, that the driver would be fined for this infraction.

#22 AIO Ex-Wife Sold A Guitar I Gave My Daughter

Text message exchange showing a bizarre argument highlighting people allergic to acting like sensible adults.
My ex-wife (33F) and I (33M) got divorced when we were 24... 9 years ago. Since then, she has remarried and been with her new husband for almost 6 years. One of my daughters (11F) recently got into learning how to play the guitar, and because I have multiple, I gave her one of mine so she can practice when she is at her mom’s house. The guitar has a lot of sentimental value to me. I've played it at some of my friends' weddings, at a good friend's funeral, and a lot of other memories as well- including playing it for my daughter when she was an infant to get her to fall asleep. That being said, I found it kind of fitting for her to take over that guitar and start playing it herself now that she’s taken an interest in it - then today this happened. After our text convo, I called my ex-wife and learned she sold it for $350 and bought a guitar for about $150. She’s always been the money-hungry type, and I can’t help but feel like she took advantage of an opportunity to make a quick $200. She started crying on the phone, calling me an insensitive jerk, and said she didn’t like seeing it in the house because it made her too emotional. The thing is, too, my daughter was honored to get that guitar, and I know she wasn’t complaining or calling it a “hand me down”. I’m not trying to be insensitive to how she’s feeling, but I also feel like she’s using that as an excuse. Even if she was feeling any sort of way about it, why not talk to me about it first, or give me an opportunity to get the guitar back and get my daughter a different one before taking matters into her own hands? AIO, or was she out of line?

#23 My Friend’s Building Told Her They Needed To Look For Damaged Pipes Under Her Floor. She Came Home To This

Kitchen renovation gone wrong with dirt, tools, and exposed water heater showing lack of sensible adult behavior.
My friend came home from work last night to find her apartment turned into a construction zone with zero warning. Property management told her they’d be repairing pipes under the floors, but conveniently forgot to mention they’d be ripping apart her entire kitchen and leaving it like this overnight. To make it worse, the water to her unit was shut off with no notice, making the place completely unlivable. She had to grab a bag and check into a hotel for the night. The contractors and property management clearly didn’t communicate with each other, and no one thought to inform the actual tenant. How is this even remotely okay?

#25 The Roof We've Been Telling Our Landlord About For Months Finally Gave Up

Peeling ceiling paint and plaster falling on floor and bed in a room showing neglect and lack of sensible adult repair.
Some of you might say, "Why didn't you fix it?" My landlord added in all the rental contracts in the building that you can't do anything without his permission. We've been telling him for MONTHS about the situation, but he is stingy, so this is the end result of most issues with the building.

#26 Because This Pool Belongs To Them, Apparently

Group of people lounging on poolside chairs, showcasing those allergic to acting like sensible adults in a relaxed setting.
All the women in the black swimsuits on the first two rows are in a group. Took roughly 15 sunbeds, with the four in the front being completely empty when we arrived. Screamed at us when we tried to place our towels on completely empty sunbeds ("come to the pool at seven if you want anything like we did"), threw our towels at us and threw some profanities as well.

Silver token held in hand with ironic tip message and Confederate States half dollar design, fitting unusual adult behavior theme.
I refuse to even let this back out into the world and tempt some jerk to try to use it. The fact that someone is actually making these/using these in the world scares me... Also, I'm pretty sure they meant ensure?

#36 Blocked Her And Got This

Text message showing a rude response from someone allergic to acting like sensible adults in a blocked conversation.
I wasn’t interested in her after she told me that her ideal date is smoking herbs, eating a meal, and getting drinks. She was also insisting I was being rude when she said “You reached out to me late” and said “I guess? I was at work” The personal jabs about my appearance are crazy for someone who wanted to match and talk with me days prior.
