For last week’s Pissing Contest, we asked you to share stories of your worst, most outrageous, and disappointing encounters with celebrities. Lo and behold, your responses were so good that we decided to feature them in their own very special post. Welcome to Pissing Contest XXL where you are the real celebrities.
The best thing about celebrity encounters is that they often make good stories even when the meeting itself goes terribly. Did Tom Hanks cut you in line? Did Julia Roberts wear a mean shirt with your name on it? Has George Clooney ever pranked you in a way that you didn’t appreciate? Tell us about it here!
It’s nearly Mother’s Day, so get ready for some holiday themed content! This week’s Pissing Contest is all about the mamas! Tell us your happy mom stories, tell us your sad ones, tell us the ones about weird vacations and awkward interactions. As always, we’ll post the best of the best next week!
The end of a romantic relationship can cause people to do some pretty nutty things that they probably wouldn’t do without broken heart or wounded ego. Breakup with someone and suddenly you start considering ayahuasca retreats in the rainforest, revenge, or—craziest of all—getting bangs. So what’s the most insane thing
For better or worse, it’s festival season, which is why we’re using this week’s Pissing Contest to talk about our most memorable concert experiences!
It’s common occurrence: You get into a verbal altercation with someone, mumble something dumb and then later that day come up with the perfect, now useless comeback. Far fewer are the moments when that witty retort arrives at perfect moment and lets you verbally obliterate your opponent with a single turn of phrase.…
As a rule, middle and high school are the most embarrassing times of a person’s life and school dances are where we experience the worst of it. Not only are we expected to move our awkward growing bodies in a way that’s deemed acceptable and graceful by other humans, but we’re also risking awkward boners, romantic…
Welcome back to Pissing Contest, where every week we try to outdo each other with our craziest real life stories. Today, the Jezebel staff is feeling a little rough after a Thursday night spent welcoming new staff writer Bobby Finger with karaoke and too much beer, so we’re using our pain to inspire this week’s theme:…
I can't go out. *Cough* I'm sick.
Cheating, man. We're human, and it happens, but is there anything worse for the delicate human ego? This week's Pissing Contest theme comes from Jezebel reader Kate, who emailed us with one extremely gruesome tale:
Sometimes shit in life becomes too much and something—be it small or large—pushes you over the emotional edge. Often these bouts of OH GOD MY FUCKING LIFE FUCK YOU FUCK ME FUCK EVERYTHING are accompanied by shouting, crying and general displays of melodrama that you're sure to feel dumb and embarrassed about later. So…
There's an old episode of Sex in the City where Carrie, newly cohabitating with her boyfriend Aidan, finds herself mourning the loss of her "secret single behavior"—i.e. the habits so personal that you can't imagine doing them while anyone else is around.
For last week's Pissing Contest, we covered the weird wonders of childhood. This week, we're moving onto something far more adult (eyebrows waggle): The greatest, most ridiculous move you've ever attempted to get someone to go home or go out with you. Bonus points if it actually worked
Over the past week, an unnamed Gawker Media dad has been bringing his four-year-old into the office. While you might (somewhat rightfully) be thinking of us as a group of cold and unfeeling bloggers, this little girl has been warming our hearts and making us laugh continually with her adorable and zany antics. The…
Pissing Contest has covered the most absurd lies you've ever heard, but we've yet to touch on something for more impressive and important: What's the biggest lie that you personally have ever gotten away with?
This week, the Bristol Zoo in Bristol, UK lost an entire family of endangered warty pigs because the dad warty pig decided to eat his offspring and mate. At the same zoo, a rare lion headed golden tamarin was recently eaten by a gang of otters after it got into the otter enclosure. Both are sad incidents and,…
One of the chillest parts of being alive is how some people are considered inherently more valuable than other people. The most valuable, of course, are celebrities, i.e. human beings with symmetrical faces who appear on camera and recite words for too much money. Every now and then, we normal peasants gets the chance…
This upcoming Monday marks the launch of Millihelen, an exciting new Jezebel site devoted to easy and accessible makeup advice. (Read more about it here!) To celebrate the venture, we're devoting this week's Pissing Contest to your most hilarious and cringeworthy makeover disasters.
In a life full of sexual misadventures, not everyone you choose to have sex with is going to be a total winner. In some cases, your sexual partner might even be a complete embarrassment who you can't even tell your friends about, but you go through with it anyway because they're hot, you're horny or, hey, maybe…
Welcome back to Pissing Contest where each week we share and compete with our lives' most ridiculous stories. This week, we're talking about out the dumbest ways we've ever gotten injured.
