Phil Mickelson Hilariously Cuts Off Tiger Woods' First Tee Introduction


You've got to love the fact that a couple of the greats in the game of golf can still have the presence to not get caught up in taking the whole show so unshakably seriously. Man, these guys had some great showdowns back in the day. 

Impressive Multitasker Yodels While Smoking Cigarette


Y'now, it's just a guy playing the accordion while doing some masterful yodeling while a cigarette hangs from his mouth with the casualness of a line cook. Most of our minds would be preoccupied with only one of those things, but he's out here multitasking with the best of them.

TikTok Filter Predicts Girl's Boyfriend Cheated On Her


There's no getting around the fact that TikTok is ridiculous. It can bring out the very worst in people, and accounts for a whole lot of nonsense that's actively spread throughout the internet. With that being said, it appears that a TikTok filter actually might've accomplished some "good." There's also the lingering suspicion that this is staged for the TikTok clout. But hey, who knows? The guy does look very uncomfortable. Cheaters never win, man. 

Girlfriend Pushes Moral Prerogative Of Calling Restaurant Over Extra Curry, Guy Flips Out


So in the end, it's not necessarily a moral obligation to let a restaurant know that they delivered an extra entrée. The whole making a huge deal out of it and attempting to publicly shame your girlfriend for wanting to do what she thinks is the right thing, however, is maybe not the greatest move. For some more intriguing moral conundrums, here's the time a friend had a tantrum when their friend refused to take a mysterious package for them internationally.

Entitled People Who Made Reality A Harsher Place To Live


Most everyone has a decent sense of decorum when dealing with other people. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated," we remind ourselves every time someone pulls off a bad but understandable move in traffic or when we have to go to the back of a really long line at the grocery store. But some people never seem to understand this. Some people think they're the main character in the story of the universe, and these entitled people tend to make life more complicated. Sometimes it ends okay, like when this entitled dad left his kids with a stranger on a plane and it ended up wholesomely. But most of the time, the ridiculous actions of entitled people make the world a less friendly place.

Tumblr Thread: Neil Gaiman Weighs In On Coraline Being Too Scary


Maybe one of the only social positives to come out of the nonstop access and interconnectivity of the internet is that the people who made the things you like can actually just tell you about them directly. Coraline was celebrated as a fabulously creepy adaptation of a much creepier children's book. As it turns out, even though it was probably too creepy, it was just too good. Author Neil Gaiman himself gives the account. For some more wonderous tumblr dives into fiction, here's Tumblr's deep dive into The Incredibles and Tumblr's breakdown of young adult dystopian fiction.

Dad Oversleeps, Son Goes On Adventure, Parental Panic Attack Ensues


There are different scales to waking up in a panic. Sometimes, it's just anxiety about the day's upcoming events or a recent conversation that went south. Other times though, things can get grim very, very quickly. Take this poor dad for instance. The guy wakes up, only to realize that his son has popped out for a stroll around the block with their dog. The fact that the dog stayed with the kid the whole time is at least a little heartwarming though. Otherwise, we're just glad that everyone's okay. 

Tumblr User Schooled On Rocky Horror Being Problematic


As times change, and the temptation to look at old media with a modern lense grows, it's important to remember the actual context those books and movies were created in, and what they were used for. The thing is 40 years old. In the same vein, we'd all still like to continue enjoying Blazing Saddles. Also, there's no question why this person would get steamrolled for trying to diminish anything the great Tim Curry was involved in. With that said, sometimes looking at old stuff with a modern sensibility can be pretty funny, like this Twitter thread about a woman who found this annotated Bukowski filled with comedy gold.

Unrealistic Standards Created By Imaginative Romance Novels


We all have that one person in our lives (or it's you) that is hopelessly addicted to the realm of romance novels. Romance novels provide a warm and bubbly escape from the unforgiving chaotic bubble of reality that one must otherwise muddle through. Unfortunately, all of those romance novel musings can end up creating quite the unrealistic series of expectations about how the real world works. While we're on the subject of romance novels, man oh man, Hallmark movies are right up there with perpetuating their own collection of shamelessly unhinged ideals about how love, romance, etc. ends up looking in real life. 

Elder Scrolls Memes That Are As Tamriel As It Gets


When people aren't looking at Skyrim memes, what are they doing? That's right, back at home in a dark room, blasting Jeremy Soule and zooping around Skyrim searching for another dang nirnroot. I can hear it. It's out there. And it's close. Here are some of the Bethesda the best Skyrim memes we could find as well as an informative Twitter thread on a Skyrim treasure hack.

Self-Important Karen Makes Tech Support Drive Out For Easy Fix, Tech Support Quits


The world's not going to run out of wildly entitled and generally impossible to deal with Karens anytime soon. With that being said, everyone has their breaking points. We can all only put up with so much genuine nonsense from downright toxic human beings. At a certain point, even the paycheck can't validate weathering the tidal waves of unacceptable behavior. Thus, we arrive at this tech support tale. We totally get where this tech support employee is coming from. Karen continually disregarded their professional advice, wasted their time, and then gave them serious attitude when they showed up to help resolve the issue. Yeah, best to dip out of that situation. Life's far too short. If this tech support tale got you going, check out these IT memes for the people really holding up society as we know it.

Informative Twitter Thread On Treasure Hack In Skyrim


Skyrim is one of those games that'll fade off the grid for a hot minute, and then pick up steam right where it left off thanks to another fun Twitter thread from one of its avid players. In this case, we have a formal investigation being launched with the purpose of determining whether or not the "treasure bug" is actually legit. Well, as it turns out, due to some favorable coincidences it is most definitely worth giving a shot if you're playing Skyrim, and looking for more treasure. For another fun Twitter thread about Skyrim, check out this Twitter thread where a guy details his ridiculous Skyrim adventures.

People's Worst and Dumbest First Tattoo Experiences


Like all permanent decisions, it's usually a good idea to do your research and make the right choice when considering a tattoo. In addition to the questionable ideas, much of the frustration of tattooing is the clients themselves, especially when they're a first-timer who doesn't know what they're getting into. Tattoo artists find themselves dealing with people's tattoo choices that have them asking questions.

Dirtbag Dad Crashes Son's Car And Sells It


Everyone deserves to have a responsible parent, but not everyone gets one. This dude had to deal with the ultimate betrayal of a dad who borrowed his kids car, got in a crash, and then single-handedly managed to make everything way worse. For another wildly entitled dad story, here's the dad who was furious that his son needed permission to hold a gun.

Overconfident Saxophone Player Goes For It, Falls Short


The amount of confidence that some people somehow possess while they completely lack the skills to back it up is dauntingly confusing. There are multiple moments when it almost seems like the show's going to be brought to a (welcomed) halt, until it just continues onwards.
