Every now and again someone commits so hard to impersonating a well known figure like Joel Osteen that they literally manage to get up on stage. That's got to be the lifetime goal of anyone out there that's trying to unleash havoc by being an impersonator.

There are reports that this story could actually be nothing more than a work of fiction. Real or not, it's still quite the entertaining tale.

In all fairness the Balloonfest of '86 was in no way one of those tiny mistakes. It was a historical fail. What did they think would happen when they went ahead and released a record number of balloons into the atmosphere? Obviously things like gnarly traffic jams and an interference with air traffic were going to result from this mindless move. Must've looked cool for a hot second before everything basically came undone.

Man, we wish this was the first time we were encountering a ridiculous situation involving one person expecting the other person to change their cat/baby's name, because they want that precious name for their baby as well. It's a strange and completely delusional situation of ungodly entitlement. All you can really do with anyone who is making that request of you is to try and give them the reality check they so clearly need. This scenario sounds like such a nightmare that it's genuinely hard to believe it's real. For another ridiculous situation involving some baby name drama, check out this woman's sister-in-law who wanted to name her baby "Alibi."

Tumblr is generally the place where people get exhaustive about the annoying types of characters they see over and over again in books, tv and movies. Movies are a business and we tend to not question repetition, like these very limited types of movie posters. For some, these characters are so unrealistic that it takes away from the story. It's a bit like this Twitter thread making fun of how male authors describe women.

We like to think we're in control of our own lives, but that's not always the case. We do our best to stay out of trouble, but sometimes it's just up to chance, or someone else's intervention that we don't end up stepping into a pit of snakes. One missed bus or the decision to have cake instead of pie can lead to some missed bullets or crazy butterfly effect situations.

Betty was playing with fire and she didn't even realize it. You can only imagine the kind of incredulous fear that gripped this poor dude as he watched Betty unknowingly, fearlessly chug a coffee drink that had six shots of espresso in it. It sounds like those 911 drinks are nothing but bad news. Why not just stick to a coffee, or even a double shot of espresso? That's just so much caffeine.

Just in case you're unfamiliar with the Nextdoor app, it's a wonderful hub of people voicing various complaints and other strange observations about their respective neighborhoods. We've rounded up a hilarious collection of some of the most ridiculous musings we were able to find from an account dedicated to Nextdoor funnies on Twitter. These might just get you in the holiday spirit. Or, maybe make you thankful that you're not living next to some of these people.

They told her that it wouldn't work, but she wanted to get all that hair bleached and flew to close too the sun. It only seems fitting that she end up with the haircut that at least tells other people who they're dealing with. For another tale of Karen, here's a Bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

The good old 1990s. Sure, there were as many massive problems going on during that decade as there were in any other, but to many people growing up back then it was more about beanie babies and delicious-smelling markers than it was about geopolitics. For an extra trip in the ol' time machine, here are some nostalgic junk foods from the 90s.
