Being responsible for the continued existence of multiple human lives is an undeniable hassle. Few of us are even that prepared to look after ourselves, so throwing in a few more mortal entities into the cauldron of life isn't gonna make things run more smoothly. Here's to zero sleep and parenting memes for the perpetually stressed.
Is it petty and a little childish to respond to a ding dong ditching kid by drenching them with a bucket of water? Kinda, yeah. Is it extremely effective and satisfying? Also yeah. This person's first course of action was neighborly discussion, but when that failed, the prank war began. Also, the kid started it anyway. For some more intriguing morally ambiguous pettiness, here's the guy who bought his own ranch to spite a pizza place owner.
When most of us hear an unbalanced washing machine making sounds like this, it's usually a hint that we need to take that extra towel out. But not this guy. He heard that nonstop banging and decided it was an opportunity to make beautiful music.
Football teams will name themselves after animals all the time, but everything screeched to a halt when the genuine article appeared during a recent game between USC and Arizona State. The confused fox made it up through the stands, onto the field, and eventually made its way out while the crowd did what crowds do best.
Man. Sibling rivalry is a thing that I probably bring up pretty frequently on here. Any one of us who has grown up with siblings has experienced it in some form or another.
The thing is.. when you grow up and become adults it can take on vastly-different, bizarre shapes and can fester into something terrible.
Often, in stories like this, you're seeing the ending of a long and painful story.
That being said, 'bridezilla' is a term for a reason. We've seen plenty of brides lose it close to, or on, their wedding day.
Since we haven't contacted actual aliens, all we can really do is lean on imagining our place in the universe. The flattering consensus is that humans are space orcsand we live on a death planet where invading aliens could be fought off by bears. Writing like this is a convenient way to feel nice about the finer points of human curiosity and social proclivities, especially when we're a character placed in space like this Tumblr thread imagining a human on a Vulcan ship.
Everyone has this idea of some kind of perfect dream job like "pilot" or "tiger psychologist" or "bakery owner in a small New England town" and as it turns out, there are downsides to each and every one of those things. Maybe the reality of the situation is that even if you do what you love, you still have to deal with every little thing that surrounds it, and people don't like the minutia. Okay, back pain, disrespect and low pay also objectively suck. Here are some reasons people quit their jobs on the spot.
There's no limits to the incredible demands of entitled folks. It could be anything like demanding that their hairstylist not have tattoos, requesting that people pay for the privilege's of taking their garbage or offering "jobs" that pay about a dollar an hour. There are oh so many flavors of entitled people with their absurd audacity, and each one is more dirt-flavored than the rest.
Sure, the get 'er done mentality is an effective way to motivate yourself to complete tough jobs and long hours, but when it's used by your boss to justify lowering you on a backhoe over the side of a cliff, you're entering safety failure territory. Anyone with a physical job is regularly tempted or ordered to take scary shortcuts in the form of safety failures that would make OSHA faint. Gotta admit, jacking a car up with a plastic chair doesn't really seem worth it.
Under certain circumstances, we have the right to ask our friends to accommodate us. The thing is, people rightfully have a hard time accepting your wishes after you pull some seriously life-upending behavior like the saga described below. So this neighbor went to the internet to ask if they were being unreasonable for not exactly acting like everything is totally cool. For some more questionable friends, here's the friend who tried getting their friend to travel internationally with a mysterious package.
Nothing brings the family together like the holidays! And nothing instigates drama quite like large families gathering together in one small place. This Thanksgiving, instead of wishing each other a jolly good time and fall cheer, this family wishes that the thanksgiving dinner host would board his dog so they don't have to be around him, while they stay at the host's home, for free.
What's wrong with this picture? Well, a lot of things. To start with, let's talk about entitlement! WHO in their right mind would ask someone who is offering them a free place to stay out of the kindness of their hearts, to board their beloved dog all for their own personal benefit. Yeah, it's a no from us, and Reddit users overwhelmingly agreed. A big dose of NTA.
The day can be so big that it's hard to see how we're gonna get to the end of it. But if there's one thing that helps give us some perspective it's a picture a grateful raccoon. At any given dark time, we could be just a few wholesome grandmas away from feeling a little better, so it's better to see if that works first. Here are some more wholesome memes because everyone needs a nice break.
We love to see blatant liars get caught up in their dishonest antics. This couple decided to weave a lie for the purpose of cutting in line at a baseball game. First of all, people who cut in line are the worst. Second, the way that this couple's lie ended up catching up with them is pure gold. The look of disbelief and rage that danced across their faces must've been a truly wonderful spectacle to behold.
So in a moment of terrific judgement, this dude's ex took her dog to an animal shelter thinking she was gaming the system on free dog care. Predictably, a dog like hers was adopted instantly. It's looking like the only reason this dude even knows this happened is cause she needed someone to blame. Hopefully that dog is with a nicer owner. For some more wild dog stuff, here's the Karen who didn't believe a blind woman and tried taking her guide dog.
Existence is strange. There are so many moments all of us seem to encounter in our lives where things simply just don't add up. It can end up feeling like you're straight up witnessing a glitch in the matrix. Maybe you end up sharing that glitchy moment with another human being, who also can't explain the occurrence. Well, all we can do is shrug it off, and accept the fact that there will always be those strange moments lurking right around the corner that we'll never be able to explain through the lens of a rational mind.
