Think of all the cringeworthy things we do. Like realizing you were walking the wrong way and having to do a complete 180 on the street. Or assuming your coursemate asked for your number because they thought you were cute and gently telling them that you're seeing someone only to understand they just wanted to work on your group project. What about waving to someone who's definitely waving to a person behind you? That's a classic.

Now multiply the embarrassment these actions have caused you by approximately 1,325 and you'll know what to expect from r/Cringetopia. As you may have learned from our previous publications on this subreddit here, here, and here, it's the place to go to when you want to confuse and disturb your mind. Which, I guess, everyone has to do every once in a while to keep themselves in check—if you find that the content below doesn't bother you at all, please contact your shrink.

Come now, the guy had been drinking. He was probably sending her signals that she could take his money. Hell, he probably consented to it and is now having regrets. You know how men are. Why should we ruin this promising young woman's life just because of a fickle guy who can't keep his wallet closed?

20$ might have been funny, but 2000$ could've really harmed the guy. What if he couldn't pay his rent or child support? Shitty move.

"you know, if a man goes out at night with an open venmo wallet like that, he's just asking for it" --- SOUND FAMILIAR? /s/

This is just an asshole, thief thing to do. Not the category of embarrassing cringe though.

Think the cringe is in reference to people's responses. Like a bunch of mouth breathers laughing at a house fire.

Is it though? He handed his phone over to her, a complete stranger. Comes down to he said/she said, which is difficult to prove in court.

Why hand a stranger your phone and turn away?! Yes, she did a felonious act, but he's stupidly naive... Good LORD dude, have SOME common sense.

So, your Venmo means you have a app anyone can send money with, no password, if they get your phone? Holy s**t! We have Swish, with Bank-id password, you dont need cameras to track in cade you actually was tricked to enter password.

If that guy sexually assaulted that woman, people would be talking about her "asking for it" because she was drunk. Then, in spite of camera footage, he'd get two months in prison, if at all.

If he gave her the phone willingly for whatever reason other than forced or emergency, he is stupid and paid for it. Learn from it.

This is a common type of fraud. A person you may not know too well will ask to borrow your phone. They'll text themselves to get your number and check if you have any payment apps. Some people leave their apps open and that person now has access to your bank account.

People immediately assume that a man at a bar asking for a woman's number is an asshole and deserves his money stolen. Like, what?

When we joke about stuff like this, which happens a lot. It truly disrupts how serious it is. People joke and mock bad behavior all the time. It's become a thing. Be it spite, hatefulness, disrespect, harassment, or any other awful behavior you can think of. People joke about it, then one someone points out how serious it is. They respond with it's a joke or chill out, it ain't that serious. When it really is serious and awful. I don't know if it's because things have become so bad. When we see, hear, or read about stuff like this. We just laugh at it because we don't want to feel bad or deal with the seriousness of what's actually going on. I'm not sure why we do it but it's definitely something I've noticed happening a lot. Kind of scary when you think about it.

If she didn't want to give him her phone number, all she had to do was not give him her phone number. I wouldn't want to be around this woman unless everything I owned was nailed down. Asking for a phone number is not a crime. Stealing $2,000 is. She is not a hero.

I don't use venmo but where I live we have a similar app and need to enter a pin code before a transaction goes through. This sounds false to me.

I don't think that's funny. If a guy took advantage of a drunk women that way people would be lambasting him. She's disgusting and should be caught

I agree, what she did was absolutely wrong. The earlier comments are sarcastic, meant to shine a light on very similar situations that women endure, only instead of being robbed, they are being raped.

Giving the guy a wrong number, for instance the local brothel number, is hilarious. Stealing money not so much. Felonies are rarely funny.

I think this is so disturbing on so many levels, but primarily the level of applauding theft and crime. Have these people no morality? What else will they "approve" of?

Your comment reminds of something...oh yes, that's it - "She was asking for it."
