A car dealership crew humiliated a pizza guy over $7. The internet's revenge was brutal.

It remains one of the internet's most satisfying tales of instant karma, a story from 2015 that perfectly illustrates how a moment of cruelty can backfire spectacularly in the digital age. It began with a pizza delivery, a $7 dispute, and ended with a business's reputation in flames.

The incident, originally reported by CNN, involved Jarrid Tansey, a delivery driver for Palace Pizza, and the staff at F&R Auto Sales, a car dealership in Westport, Massachusetts. Tansey delivered a $42 order and was paid with $50. Assuming the extra money was a tip, he left. However, he soon received a call from the dealership demanding he drive back to return the $7 and change.

Michael J. Fox reveals the true meaning of 'Back to the Future' and why it's still important now

Since 1985, the Back to the Future movie series has entertained audiences with a mix of science fiction, comedy, nostalgia, and even old-school westerns. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first film, Michael J. Fox appeared on Good Morning America to discuss his book Future Boy, what he thinks makes time-travel movies so ironically timeless, and the series’ overall relatable message.

"It's about bullies," Fox said to GMA. "It's about standing up to bullies. We live in a really bullying culture right now. And I think there's something about that. There's something about seeing the little guy stick up to bullies that people love."

Navy SEAL recommends this mindfulness trick for parents to keep their cool

Navy SEALS are some of the most highly trained military professionals on the planet. Very few people make it through the training to become special operations ready. It takes more than just elite physical capabilities; it takes focus and a disciplined mindset.

In a 2025 article for National Geographic, Errol Doebler, a former Navy SEAL, expressed that the robust skill set he gained through his military training had incredible value when put to good use in his daily life as a father and husband. He unknowingly used his breathwork to navigate some of the more stressful moments that would arise in any given day.

The brokenhearted share the one tip that helped them all heal from their breakup

There are a few undeniable facts of life: the sky is blue, water is wet, and breakups suck. Even if it's for good, healthy reasons, breaking up can be incredibly heartbreaking and difficult. Because of how hard it can be to get over a broken relationship, professionals and everyday people have suggested several tips to help you move forward. However, there is one particular tip that many of the brokenhearted stand by.

People online suggest one way to get over a breakup is to do activities that you wanted to try or indulge in that your ex-partner wouldn’t do with you. This exercise can remind you what life can look like and be like post-relationship. It could remind you of a great pastime you once had or introduce you to a new interest that could help you form a new community.

Culture expert compares Victorian and modern design to explain how the world got 'so ugly'

I recently visited Boston for the first time, and I was overwhelmed by how much American history was preserved downtown—and, additionally, by how the regal beauty of those historical buildings and sites contrasted with the sleekness of the newer constructions. My wife and I spent an hour or so strolling through the Granary Burying Ground, marveling at the ornately gothic designs of the headstones. Something about that idea felt profound—even these markers of death deserved to be infused with elegance.

So, why do our modern designs—even for our ordinary things like lamp posts—feel so bleh when they used to look so special centuries ago? Sheehan Quirke, a British writer and YouTuber under the moniker "The Cultural Tutor," set out to answer that very question in a deep-dive video titled "How Did the World Get So Ugly?" It’s a fascinating glimpse into aesthetic evolution and a nice reminder to seek out beauty in unexpected places.

A wife’s frustration turned to tears when she saw why her husband stayed late

Sometimes, people do not realize what their loved ones are sacrificing without a complaint. A farmer's wife realized that about her husband when she saw him having dinner while entertaining their daughter after a long day of work. The wife, Katie Spence Pugh, shared that realization about her cotton farmer husband, Eugene, in a now-deleted post on Facebook, per the Daily Mail. She also revealed the profound moment she realized that her husband was actually making more sacrifices than her, even though she was tired and frustrated because of his late working hours.

Before the shift in perspective

"I snapped this picture the other night at the end of a long day. I was tired. I was irritated," Pugh wrote about a picture of her husband having dinner, as their little daughter, Charlotte, sat on the table and started talking to him, while also eating his food. "I had sent my husband a text telling him that I knew it wouldn’t make a difference, but I wanted him to know that I was feeling fed up with how much he works and with all that I have to do every day by myself," she recounted, per Love What Matters. Her full-time job, cooking food, bathing the kids, weekend trips without her husband and maintaining a house at the same time was taking a toll on her and she was "resenting" her husband for having to do it all alone because of his work hours.

Their toddler damaged a neighbor's car. The 'invoice' they got was a total shock.

It’s a moment every parent of a young child dreads: the accidental, and potentially expensive, damaging of someone else’s property. For one family, that moment came when their three-year-old opened a car door a little too enthusiastically, dinging the neighbor’s vehicle parked nearby.

As reported by Metro, the parents immediately did the right thing. Feeling terrible about the accident, they found their neighbor, explained what had happened, and offered to pay for all the repairs out of pocket to avoid involving insurance companies. They braced themselves for a hefty bill.

9-year-old with autism shocks the world with an IQ higher than Einstein

At just nine years old, Adhara Pérez Sánchez of Mexico City has an IQ of 162—a score higher than the estimated IQs of both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. But her journey to becoming a celebrated child prodigy was paved with cruelty and misunderstanding.

Diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum, Pérez struggled to fit in at school. Her unique way of interacting with the world made her a target for bullies. Her mother, Nallely Sanchez, recalled a particularly devastating incident in an interview with the Yucatan Times.
