People need to get rid of things, but they also don't like just giving stuff away. That's why we end up with the ridiculous junk people try to sell online. There's hot-dog stuffed cucumbers, creepy werewolf dolls and all sorts of other wonderful things out there. There's no limit to the dumb and weird stuff someone might try to sell online.
In these modern times, it can be pretty up in the air who makes more money in a relationship. This guy went out of his way to make it seem like his wife was just spending all his money, which was absolutely not the case, and a pretty disrespectful way to go about things. What makes it especially strange is that everyone knew the truth anyway. Relationships come with very specific and strange situations, like this dude who lied to his constantly late wife just so she'd arrive on time.
It's hilariously easy to forget how weird your family is until you have someone else in the world offer you that enlightening, outside-in perspective. What very well might be a ritual in your family, could be looked upon as absolute madness by someone else. Maybe this bunch of tweets from people describing their families strangest tics will remind you of some of your family's bizarre behavior.
This isn't the first time we've seen an altercation break out between roommates that ultimately ends in a glorious petty revenge, and we doubt it'll be the last time. The girl in this story sounds like she was wildly inconsiderate and devilishly entitled. She had the audacity to steal her roomie's special chocolate covered raisins more than once. Um, talk about some severe boundary issues. Fortunately, the petty revenge seemed like it taught her a lesson.
The internet is an ocean of information, permeated by the odd lobster of absurdity. People are thinking about dumb junk all the time, and they expel that junk as funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later. There's never been a time with more free-floating observations. One might learn something, but probably not. At least funny tweets and tumblr gems grant strength against boredom.
There are quite a few inappropriate places to fall unconscious, but the top of the list has gotta be "while leaning over a balcony." Right as he begins to fall unconscious he starts to fall for real, and he only has our MVP blue shirt guy to stop him from really messing himself up in the hardest-to-explain-way possible. Go mister blue shirt.
We're certainly more used to reading about tech support horror stories, but every now and again we encounter a tale that doesn't diminish our faith in humanity. Like this quick story for instance. You can vividly picture the wholesome silliness of Virginia, on the other end of the call. It definitely manages to paint a funny picture about how all this rapid technological development can manifest in the older generations helplessly trying to keep up with all the changes.
As if the world needed more reasons to love Mark Hamill. Kudos to him for managing to keep the secret for so impressively long.
Once you get down to it, it becomes pretty clear why things are in the state they are. We live in a world where on any given day you just might hear someone say the dumbest thing you've ever heard. Things get especially hairy when people have vastly different preconceptions about the nature of reality. What's worse is when people say absurd things in complete seriousness, cause that means their gonna be defensive about their misconceptions.
This is that rare, beautiful, profound moment that our teachers would ramble on about during school where math actually ends up serving us in our lives. Math can actually be fun and useful sometimes. Strange.
There's some intangible satisfaction one gets when seeing an artfully stacked pile of perfectly cut logs or a well-trimmed hedge. Maybe seeing satisfying images of aesthetically pleasing perfection just sparks something in our brains like, "oh wow, in this chaotic world, maybe there can be something stable and consistent, even if it is a stack of carrots or good latte art." Whatever it is, there's just something nice about things fitting perfectly.
Man oh man, what was this guy thinking? Did he want to start a whole drama with his wife? There was no way what he shared with her was going to be received in a positive light. Naturally, the folks in the comments section are in agreement that he was way out of line.
This delightful AskReddit thread has college professors describing the most profoundly, unbelievable things that their students ever did. Some of these insights might inspire you to take a walk down memory lane and relive your own moments in the classroom, where someone muttered off something so mindless nobody had any idea what to say.
Man oh man, anyone who has a sibling knows that drama can break out over the silliest of things. In this case, we have someone's sister pitching a full on fit after having her car privileges revoked. It sounds like she wasn't respecting the car she was graciously being allowed to use at all. So, having those car privileges revoked seems completely understandable.
Man oh man, nothing can quite grind the gears like having to deal with a management team that insists on giving you a hard time over something that you've rightfully earned in the first place. It sounds like this employee's nothing short of an all-star, and after they were given grief over taking lengthier breaks, they decided to flip it right back at the management team and show them why they shouldn't have given the employee a hard time in the first place. Check out another glorious malicious compliance tale with this boss who denied an employee's necessary PC upgrade, and then the malicious compliance that ensued.
We can always count on the wonderful, wandering minds of the strange Tumblr world to enlighten us on the things we'd otherwise never have thought twice about. In this case, we have an informative little Tumblr thread shining light on the actual meanings of commonly shared phrases. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this thread which shatters commonly held misconceptions about chickens, eggs, and honey.
It's rare to see a helicopter crash go so well. It's also refreshing and sort of nice to see something like this go down with a total lack of screaming or towering infernos. Yeah, it would be real scary to just drop out of the sky, but also this crash landing went more smoothly than some regular commercial airline flights we've been on.
