Curious Lion Opens Car Door


This is not the Uber that you're looking for, my dude. Also, let this video be a lesson to anyone else out there who is considering embarking upon a safari ride. Lock the dang car doors. 

Elijah Wood Is Asked If He Wears Wigs


Here we have Dominic Monaghan, posing as a fake German Interviewer named Hans Jensen, giving Elijah Wood the third degree about his wig proclivities. The prank set-up here is that Elijah Wood thought he was doing a regular phone interview, so he couldn't tell that the interviewer was actually his co-star.

Karen Learns Roast Beef Is Sold Out, Throws Food At Arby's Employee


The folks that are working customer service jobs put up with a disgusting amount of vile behavior. It's as if some people just leave their moral compasses at home when they go out into the world to grab meals, shop, etc. It's the strangest and most unacceptable thing. Like, just play nice with one another. It shouldn't be that hard. With all of that being said, here's a belligerent Karen chucking some food at an Arby's employee after learning that they were out of her precious roast beef. 

People's Craziest Neighbor Stories


What's with people messing with other people's lawns? Also, it seems like there's a pattern with all of these "crazy neighbor." Specifically, a whole lot of them seem to be right out of the HOA. There's something about the dang HOA that just brings out the very worst in people. Boundary issues run amok. For some more juicy neighbor drama check out this quick story about a woman who reported her nightmare neighbors, and the righteous fine that ensued

Customer Doesn't Tip Waitress Because Waitress Won The Lottery


It's pretty simple: if you can't afford to tip, don't eat out at restaurants. Anyone who has worked a gig in the service industry has likely become well acquainted with the grim reality that you really get by on tips. If you have to deal with entitled and inconsiderate customers just not tipping altogether, your life can very quickly become a waking nightmare. Naturally, the folks in the comments section for this AITA prompt were in collective agreement that the customer was very much so in the wrong. 

Tumblr Thread: Humans And Their Ridiculous Superstitions


Ah yes, the wonderful wandering minds of the Tumblr community pull through yet again with a ridiculous little thread about the wild superstitions that humans can end up being possessed by. We can all fall prey to carrying assumptions about people just because of the industry that they work in. Like, some folks might assume that scientists aren't as silly as the rest of us. Well, that couldn't be further from the truth. Check out some more Tumblr gems and sweet tweets to battle boredom over here

People's Most Embarrassing Dates


This modern era with its wealth of wild dating apps has created an environment that's ripe for cringeworthy dates to break out. So terribly often people can find themselves seated across the table from someone who might as well be a completely different person from the human being that they advertised on their dating profile. If you ever find yourself seated in one of those unfortunate scenarios it's probably best to remove yourself from that environment as soon as humanly possible. Hopefully these people's stories of their most embarrassing dates make you feel better about any unfortunate dates that you've ended up suffering through. 

Kid Cries During Vows, Bride Boots Family From Wedding


Weddings seem like they have an uncanny knack for inviting all kinds of family drama to break out. It could be because you're bringing together various family members that should probably never find themselves in the same room as one another. Or, maybe you end up with a case of the perfectionist bridezilla, who has deluded herself into thinking that everything will work out perfectly on the big day. The point is that if you're attending a wedding, you can pretty much count on someone acting a fool or general wedding drama being unleashed at one point or another. 

Suggestive-Looking Vegetables From The Dirty World of Produce


There's no denying it: there's a whole lot of inanimate objects that look like other stuff. Among those car bumpers that look like the faces of presidents and clouds that look like mythical creatures, there is a darker, more sultry variety of object: those few but bold fruits and vegetables that look like someone's lunchmeat. It's not a potato's fault for being a total smokeshow, but it's no one else's for noticing.

Tumblr Gems And Sweet Tweets To Battle Boredom


The internet can bring many things. Some of those things are cold facts and bad news. But the rest is a pile of weird observations, dumb stories, tumblr gems and funny tweets. Do we need a worldwide network of people sharing their intimate moments and weird nuggets of knowledge? Probably not but it's here now in the form of tumblr gems and tweets and boy is it going strong.

Objects That Had A Habit Of Looking Like Other Things


There's something that thrills the human brain when you can point out something like "Hey, that stain looks like Texas!" It's hard to explain why inanimate objects that look like other stuff are just fun to look at. Maybe it has to do with some instinctual desire to see patterns or faces in things. It's not obvious why it's so delightful to see a potato with a face, but it's impossible to deny that some objects have a lot of personality.

Tyrant Manager Fires Employees Over Hair, Whole Staff Quits


It's a mystery how so many angry and unreasonable people hold positions of power, but nevertheless we get moments like this monstrous manager who snapped on an employee. Hierarchies break down when power is wielded unjustly, and it's interesting to learn about an entire staff just saying "screw this, I'm out." If only manager/employee relationships could be more cartoonish, like this fed up manager's many notes for their troublemaking employee.

Unrealistic Movie Tropes That Annoy People To No End


Movies are great at filling our vulnerable and rampant imaginations with all kinds of unrealistic expectations and desires about how the world should work. Sometimes it's those clever little plot holes that escapes the viewer's attention, and ends up instilling in them a belief that would hold no ground back in the real world. Romantic comedies in particular are great at that. But hey, if you can just enter into the experience of watching the movie, well aware that life's a whole lot more difficult than it's portrayed on the big screen, you'll be just fine. 

Entitled Karens Who Karen'd All Over The Place


It's important to remember that the designation of "Karen" is always a judgement of behavior. Karen is an attitude of entitlement, ambivalence, and a lack of sympathy for fellow people (especially those in customer service). From to Karens getting defeated by kindness to lying Karens getting decimated by restaurant owners, the self involvement, lack of basic understanding and absurd, audacious entitlement in a modern Karen is something to behold.

Workers Swinging In High Winds Is Some Scary Junk


In 2019, some high winds in Edmonton left these workers hanging on for their dear lives on a violently swinging platform. Could there be a better example of why PPE is a good idea? These dudes were in for the ride of their lives with only a few cables and ropes to keep them (somewhat) secure.
