Tumblr Post: People's Bizarre Information Gaps


Life is a funny and humbling matter. We can be busy, caught up in our daily routine, and suddenly find ourselves confronted with a profound ego-shattering moment where we come to find that we really don't know as much as we thought we did. In this case, the strange information gap that's experienced is centered on what exactly a dandelion is. Check out some more gold from the wonderful world of Tumblr with this Tumblr thread about literary coincidences that got authors in hot water

Woman Steals What She Thinks Is Pregnancy Test, Announces Pregnancy, Is Wrong


There's nothing quite like snooping through a stranger's cabinets, using their things, making a huge scene, being told to check your facts, getting defensive about it and then ending up being completely wrong. Where do they find people like this? For some more wildness, here are the worst houseguests people have experienced and a pregnant employee's shirt-tucking work revenge.

Client Tries To Screw Employee Over By Locking Them Out Of System, Totally Backfires


There's just something so sinfully sweet about a proper jerk getting their righteous comeuppance when it's all said and done. This client tried real hard to screw over a completely well meaning employee, by locking them out of the system. Well, that definitely backfired in glorious fashion. For another tale of pro revenge check out the time that a scummy collection agency attempted to mess with a guy's credit score

Customer Demands Kilo of Meat To Be Weighed, Gets Less Meat


The guy went through all this to have his meal weighed so things would be "fair" and by god he got his fairness. A hilariously similar thing happened with this customer who demanded a pound of wings and got less wings. With sassier staff, customer demands can go really off the rails like this rude gentleman who demanded no ice and got less than that.

Blessed Images To Lighten Up The Mood


With our relentless pursuit toward covering all the ridiculous life dramas and fails from the world, it can be dangerously easy to forget that there's also plenty of the good stuff out there. Funnily enough it seems as if so many of the world's blessed images involve animals being absolutely adorable. There's just something about the pure innocence of a dog who doesn't have a bone to pick with anyone, that can lighten an otherwise glum mood. 

Cursed, Creepy and Weird Images From The Abyss


Fear is the oldest emotion there is. And with that, there's a lot of stuff out there to feel weird and uncomfortable about. It doesn't even take that much for us to find something amiss. A misplaced balloon or a little too much smile in a dog's eye can have our minds spiraling over what's wrong. It doesn't even have to be all that sinister in the case of cursed images of internet weirdness.

Camper Karen Expects Free Tie-Dye Shirt, Gets Denied, Has Temper Tantrum


I mean, this sounds like one awesome park ranger. He totally could've played that a different way, taken the side of camper Karen, and actually gone ahead with giving a perfectly peaceful, reasonable couple a hard time over nothing. However, instead he leaned right into the completely righteous revenge of reporting camper Karen for her loud and obnoxious music. Oh boy, to have seen the look on that Karen's face when she realized she'd been reported for all of her noise. 

Real Life Examples Of Butterfly Effect In Action


It can be a wildly disorienting experience to meticulously trace the effects of what seems to be a minor action, as it blossoms into all kinds of results further on down the road.

Trashtacular Moments of Startling Garbage-osity


Variety is the spice of life, but trashtacular moments are the paper bag filled with gold spraypaint, and the world would be a completely different place without it. Probably more organized and less needlessly dramatic, but we are what we are. We stand, mouths agape at the garbage behavior of the world, hoping we don't get splattered with anything. We all have stories, from neighborhood porch pirates to the worst houseguests people have experienced.

Shower Thoughts That Are Deeply Soaked In Wisdom


Apparently there's something funny that happens to our brains and the specific brainwaves that they produce when they're in a warm shower for a while. Basically, a creative and ponderous state can spawn. In this state, the shower thoughts can really flow. You very well might find yourself cracking the code to some strange facet of life in such a way that you never would have otherwise. Check out some more shower thoughts that dispense insightful wisdom over here

Frustrating Things People Turn Into Their Whole Personality


Liking things is good. It's important to like things. But as people, it's easy to get so wrapped up in our own likes and dislikes that we alienate those around us. One's obsession with their Jeep or their 9 dollar health shakes can get to the point where it becomes a personality trait people can't stand. Also grown adults who are way too into Disney are weird.

Emotional Twitter Thread Honors River, The Real-Life Dog Used In Fallout 4


Oh boy, too many feels at once. May River rest in peace.

In the emotional Twitter thread Burgess highlights some of the ways that they managed to infuse River's genuine characteristics with Fallout 4's Dogmeat character. River might be gone, but she'll never be forgotten. Perhaps this somber passing will give way to a new companion being implemented into the Fallout franchise. 

Manipulative Maid Of Honor Gets Called Out For Her Antics By Bride


It's almost refreshing to have a wedding drama that's not centered on a bride going full bridezilla mode. Yep, this time around we have what sounds like a terribly manipulative maid of honor who failed to put anyone but herself first, when it came time to make her friend's wedding festivities both mindful and special. Honesty, good on the bride for putting her friend in check. Hopefully their friendship is solid enough that they're able to make a comeback from the situation.

Weirdest Moments Experienced By Escape Room Employees


People can become complete senseless animals when they're put into an escape room. Maybe it has something to do with the claustrophobia that can naturally ensue when you're put into a maze of sorts, and the reality of making your grand escape can be quite delayed depending on the amount of brain activity going on with the rest of your team. Hopefully these ridiculous stories from escape room employees make you feel a bit better about any potential catastrophic fails that you experienced while navigating an escape room.

The weirdness never ends for pizza delivery drivers.
