Girl Puts Spider Posters Up To Keep Arachnophobic Cousins Out of Her Room: Reddit Supports Her

You don't have to be a genius to understand why a seventeen-year-old girl would want some space to herself. Said space should of course be a peaceful zone where she does not have to constantly shoo her eight-year-old cousins out of every five minutes. Hmm, if only there were a creative solution to this problem.

OP did some thinking and found an evil genius solution that impressed Reddit users everywhere as they swarmed in to comment their support. She decided to put up spider posters knowing well and good that her cousins are arachnophobic. Some Reddit users even made their own suggestions for taking this a step further, "There are really cool remote control tarantulas. My cat has one and loves to chase and 'kill' it over and over, the little scamp" Via Reddit. Good to know, very good to know. 

Karen Boss Refuses to Accept Employee's Resignation, Leaves to Go Shopping Instead

This Karen actually thought that she could just not accept her employee's resignation. Like she was playing a "Nope" card in Exploding Kittens or "Just Say NO!" in Monopoly Deal.

It's like she's playing 4D chess while the rest of us are stuck in our 1 dimensional plane of existence. How come none of us thought of this one before?

Just don't accept the resignation after you mistreat them and then they can never leave. That must have been what Hotel California was all about. 

The OP, u/HistoricalReception7, goes on to explain that they are now running their own small farm and have never been happier. Sounds like they have life all figured out. 

If you've been stuck working for a Karen you might also like this Karen who put a ridiculous sign on "her chair" when she left for vacation. Forcing her employees to stand when they worked at her computer. 

Weird Things That Teachers Confiscated From Students

A lot of us had to spend over a decade in school, and over the course of that formative period, we saw a lot of weird junk go down. School is boring, so naturally things got spiced up with the appearance of secret fish tanks, homemade chemical products and sometimes even bees. Hey, kids are resourceful. And sometimes teachers just want to take stuff. It's no surprise that some weird stuff got confiscated by teachers.

Twenty Top Tumblr Gems From the Tumblr Trove of Treasure

These Tumblr gems were some of the top posts of the week. Take a trip and check them out. 

It's pretty cool to see the thread about the muscles in that new Disney movie that I haven't watched. 

Also, the switching of the rogues' galleries between Batman and Spider-Man is an interesting concept to think about. Pretty sure an older Peter Parker would end up with a thing for Poison Ivy.

Son Describes the Worst Day of His Life to His Dad When His Pants "Explode" While Commando at Work

"If you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Nietzsche

That quote, referenced by ministryofpeace on the original post, very adequately describes what poor Kelly must have experienced while staring into the eye of Sauron. 

When Zach was prepping for work that morning there were some decisions that were made. Decisions that I can imagine he wishes he could take back. 

The first ill-fated decision was the one to go to work "commando" when he realized he was out of clean undergarments. That is a bold, bold move. Let me just say that I'm no stranger to wandering around my house commando, there's something freeing about the lack of restriction and enhanced movement of the air. 

But that same lack of restriction would prevent me from ever wanting to leave the house in that state, let alone go to work. 

The second ill-fated decision was to couple this commando maneuver with a pair of tight-fitting slacks. If you've seen some of the wedding videos we have seen you would know that that move can be dangerous. 

Those two things, combined with some bad luck, and the "Swiss Cheese Model" came into full effect... Murphy is laughing his a$$ off somewhere right now.
