Twitter Thread: Lizard Creates Hilarious Havoc In Garden

Graham doesn't play by the rules. Clearly, Graham is busy enjoying life to the fullest. We just need to make sure that Graham doesn't get behind the wheel after knocking back all that Coors.

Text - Jessica Ellis @baddestmamajama So. We had a massive infestation of pill bugs who ate our zucchini twice. So we put out beer traps (they go to drink the beer, they fall in.) Then a mystery occurred....

Text - Jessica Ellis O @baddestmamaja... · 21h v Replying to @baddestmamajama We put the traps in our veggie bed, dug into the soil. They were in fact catching a ZILLION pill bugs. Literally FULL TO THE BRIM by morning. And then the traps started to... Move.

Text - Text - Jessica Ellis O v @baddestmamaja.. · 20h Now you never know who is using your garden when you leave it. In the house I grew up in, which backed a creek, we had a myriad of nocturnal visitors, from a river otter and opossums by the dozen to an unfortunate snake whose HEAD we found on the deck one morning.

Man Plays The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" With Bricks

This guy got challenged to make music with bricks, so he went ahead and played The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" with bricks. Um, that's amazing. Had no idea that was possible.

Tyrannical Landlord Scams Tenants, Gets Dealt Justice

We love nothing more than when a shady, greedy, all around bad landlord gets dealt the justice that was coming their way. It's a welcomed moment to see the tenant come out victorious over the landlord's stupid antics.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + JOIN u/DeadlyGerbil 3 O 2• 19h Bad landlord scams his tenants, goes to jail. Many years ago, when I worked for a rent-to-own company in a small town, there was a little apartment complex which we made frequent deliveries to, and just as frequently had to repo from. It had been a motel when it was built, and the owner turned it into apartments by just making doorways in the walls between rooms, putting a kitchen and living room in one and a bedroom in the other. The place wa

2.

Text - Between deliveries and pickups, we were visiting this place multiple times per month, but the landlord wouldn't let us park the truck in the parking lot to do it. It was a motel parking lot, so there was way more space than the tenants needed, and plenty of room for our truck, but the minute we pulled into the lot, the landlord would come running out of the office and yell at us to get the truck off his property. We were still allowed to deliver and such, we just had to carry the couches

3.

Text - Then the day came that I was visiting some customers, a young couple, to have them sign an extension because they couldn't make their payment, and I saw an eviction notice on their door. I knocked, they answered, and then they, too, saw the notice. They explained that they needed the extension because they were behind on rent, but the eviction was unexpected because they were only two days late. The notice gave them one week to move out. They signed the extension and I left, a little susp

4.

Text - A few days later, I got a call from the couple saying they needed to return the stuff they'd rented because they were being evicted and had to move to a motel. I told them to wait there, l'd be over in an hour. My wife had worked in the rental office of our previous apartment complex, so I knew some tenant laws. When l'd checked after getting the extension signed, I found that evictions couldn't be served with only a week notice, they had to give 30 days for the tenants to pay or move out

5.

Text - Normally, l'd have considered this none of my business, but everyone in our store hated that landlord and wanted to get back at him, so I printed out the applicable rental law pages from the town's website and drove over to the apartment complex. There, I knocked on the door of every one of our customers living there, which was about half of the 20 or so apartments, and gave them a copy of the law. While doing this, I learned that the landlord had been evicting people like that for being

6.

Text - I told the couple that had started all this that if I were them, I wouldn't move out, and l'd contact a lawyer or at least the city housing department and file a complaint. They were worried because the landlord had said he'd have the sheriff's department evict them if they didn't move out in time (there were no local police--small town), but I said that even if the landlord called them, I doubted they'd actually evict them if they cited the law. That was about allI could do, and I hoped

7.

Text - It was. The couple came in a few weeks later to pay for their rental furniture and to thank me for all my help, telling me the landlord had just been arrested. They'd filed a complaint, and when the landlord called the sheriff to evict them, it had kicked off an investigation. I never learned what exactly the charges were, or what happened to the landlord, but the complex ended up under new ownership, and the new manager had no problem with us parking on their property for deliveries. Als

8.

Text - Between that experience and other stories l've read online, never cease to be baffled and annoyed that people don't know their rights as tenants. Check your laws, don't take a landlord's word for anything, and stand up for yourself! 4.3k 59 1, Share

AskReddit Thread: False Things That School Taught Us

Someone on AskReddit got a fun and enlightening thread going about the various things that school taught us, that we later learned were false. Better to learn that those tidbits of "knowledge" were false, late than never at all.

Check out another recent AskReddit thread that we ran, which focused on the most awkward questions students asked in sex ed.

Text - jonahvsthewhale • 19h That grades in elementary and middle school actually matter. I had a 45 in my 5th grade history class at one point, and I LOVED history. I just didn't like having to memorize the preamble to the constitution and other pointless things my school made us do. I now read and study history on my own and know far more history than the average person

If you ever get a C or into a fight or cheat you'll never go to College and you'll be blacklisted from applying or attending any of them. I didnt really think of the impact these things had on me and suffice to say I feel like I'm worse off for it.

Text - llcucf80 • 19h Nutrition. When I started elementary school it was the four food groups, by high school it was the food pyramid, and by college it turned into myplate. You can't ever keep up and it constantly changed, so who knows what'll turn into next.

We had to memorize them in middle school in the mid-00's, but our teacher didn't update any political border changes that happened after the fall of the Soviet Union, so I didn't know Nunavut exists until I happened to look at a map of Canada as an adult

Manager Tries To Fire Employee, Ends Up Out Of Job

This manager was power tripping all over the place. Fortunately, the employee was ready to take their revenge, and the manager's fraudulent practices end up being their ultimate undoing. We love a good revenge story where the manager gets what was coming to them in the end.

Text - r/ProRevenge + JOIN u/swimlikeaduck • 5h Manager tries fire me and then ends up out of a job So l'm not too sure if this is 'pro revenge' but l'll just write down my experience. Also a long one I worked for this semi national corporation selling gym memberships for our facilities. We had monthly targets that we had to achieve and unfortunately our targets were set ridiculously high for our facilities. Our gym included 3 treadmill, 2 bikes, 2 cross trainers 1 rowing machine a small free we

Text - My first manager was great and would regularly boost confidence of all the staff. Help bring in customers and new members with great advertising and relationships with other corporations so we could have corporate memberships. They then moved to another bigger site, totally understandable. The new manager was an absolute tool. I went on a course to gain a new qualification and for such I took holiday. Whilst on the course (that I took holiday for) he called me up at 7pm informing me that

3.

Text - A few weeks later I was in a car accident that wasn't my fault and was off work for a week recovering as I had injuries from it and also no courtesy car so I couldn't drive the hour to work. He rang me up threatening to fire me as I wasn't going to hit targets even though i couldn't physically get to work. He demanded me best friend bring me to work immediately. I declined. He put me on a warning for not hitting that months target which he can 'technically' do.

5.

Text - Low and behold he conveniently forgot. (I suspected that this was to keep monthly revenue up as since he'd came it had severely dropped in all areas) £500 came out of my account and I got charged overdraft too. He said he'd refund it when it came to the end of the month for revenue figures (not too sure) I gave him 1 more chance. Another £500 went out of my account. With more overdraft charges.I proceeded to hand my notice in.

6.

Text - I went to the bank gathered all my evidence and a note from a solicitor saying that we would be pressing charges if he didn't refund me. I marched into the office and presented all my evidence. Fortunately his boss was in the office that day. Along with the note that he signed earlier and all my evidence his boss agreed to refund £1500. The overdraft charges had added a £250 each time. His boss was furious. Alongside the lost revenue that was the new managers fault and the now £1500 the c
