Dude Gets Burned Trying to Give Away House


Guy gets taken advantage of trying to give away house.

This level of trashy behavior can be found in all walks of life; be it a boss, customer, landlord or straight up stranger. And seeing someone take advantage of a charitable situation leaves a bad taste in the mouth of anyone who could actually use this kind of help. You can see more of this kind of wild stuff in entitled people making wild demands. A real spicy one is this mom who lashed out at her baby sitter for leaving her bad job.

Dumb Complaints Entitled Tourists Had for Their Travel Agency


Stupid complaints that entitled tourists told to their travel agency.

We hope that times are changing and people have a little more global awareness when it comes to travel. That said, there will always be people who think that you can just move a tropical island somewhere else. While that's horribly stupid, it is pretty fun to laugh at. Tourists asks some monumentally stupid questions. Sometimes fliers become a big problem before they even get there.

Tumblr Drops Intriguing Knowledge on Ancient Female Pharaoh


Tumblr thread on interesting female pharaoh history.

Apparently by trying to erase the long and successful reign of this pharaoh, using her stuff as wall filler and throwing all her junk in a dump, they accidentally ended up preserving it. Pretty neat. Tumblr reviews some wild corners of history, like this thread that actually makes history fun. Here's another archaeology themed Tumblr thread about craftspeople being able to identify things that archaeologists couldn't.

"And Everyone Clapped" Stories


AskReddit replies to people experiencing "everyone clapped" moments.

Sometimes strange things happen that just plain old defy people's expectations, and the result is a steady round of applause. These stories might just put a grin on your face, and make you feel better about any moments you've had where you did something silly, and everyone around you proceeded to clap about it. I mean, hey, just take the applause and roll with it.

Twitter Thread: Love Story Is Strange, Wholesome, And Dark


Twitter thread with a story about how strangers come to all be part of same social circle.

@Sixthformpoet had a story that went viral on Twitter, and it's no wonder. It has a bit of something for everyone. Definitely still a better love story than Twilight. It's gritty and adorable and outright ridiculous. A solid rollercoaster.

Someone on AskReddit asked for twins to share their experiences with pulling off amazing "switcharoos." It's something else to picture the kinds of shocked and genuinely flabbergasted reactions that these switcharoos must've resulted in. Never underestimate the power of a switcharoo.

Sometimes people are so focused on getting the job done that they fail to realize if they've done a job so wonky that it renders their own work confusing, laughable and useless. These design fails were someone's one job and frankly we're glad they did it bad so we could watch. These design failures need some help.
