Pizza Place Advertises Wrong Number, Refuses to Fix, Family Takes Fake Orders


u/MundaneSeesaw's family found themselves receiving an increasing number of phone calls from the local pizza chain. See, the thing was, their home phone number was excruciatingly close to the pizza place. They would consistently get calls from people late at night who would use foul and threatening language when confronted with the fact that they had called the wrong place.

Things escalated when the pizza place released a massive ad with the wrong number on it. The phone began ringing off the hook. u/MundaneSeesaw's father called the pizza place and asked them to pay to change the family's phone number so that they could stop getting harassed. 

When the manager responded rudely to the request all bets were off. u/MundaneSeesaw and his sister, under instructions from their father, began trolling callers. They pretended to be the pizza place and would take fake orders. This would eventually culminate in the restaurant's demise.

Immature Roommate Refuses to Buy Toilet Paper, Woman Hides Hers in Her Room


Living with other people will never cease to amaze you. We're all a little bit different after all. Each of us is crazy in our own way.

But, it is truly astounding what incredibly basic survival skills and instincts some people are missing. I'm talking about the ability to cook for yourself. To clean. Heck, even the ability to purchase household essentials is beyond some people. 

This is how it was for u/pettytoiletpaper who found themselves living with a roommate who was absolutely unable to procure toilet paper for herself. It's uncertain where she thought that toilet paper came from but for the evidence, she probably thinks that it is delivered via stork or something. 

Now, when u/pettytoiletpaper and their roommate moved in together they agreed that they would take turns purchasing consumable goods. But soon u/pettytoiletpaper found herself buying them on every single occasion. Her roommate constantly had some excuse or another about why they were unable to purchase the paper supplies. 

u/pettytoiletpaper began to run out of options which led us to this complete breakdown of communication and basic principles that we see here.

Woman "Ruins" Brother's Engagement By Telling Fiancé About His Four Secret Children


The brother has the audacity to get mad about the "private" details of his four existing kids being told to his future wife. It's pretty safe to say this guy had no intention of telling his own fiancé about his complicated family tree, so good on OP for letting it slip. The hell does this guy think he is, just Mr. Magooing his way into making all these people. It's not like you can just slip on a freshly waxed floor and accidentally get more than one woman pregnant. This guy needs locking underwear.

As sad as it is for the fiance to have been completely in the dark about it, she has probably just last-second dodged a train-sized bullet. Imagine wanting to start a family with someone and discovering years later that they already tried and failed at it more than a few times in the most spectacular way possible.

It's always a weird reminder that Jerry Springer energy is alive and well in real life. Poor kids. Maybe it's a good thing they don't have to live with this guy.

Gaming Memes To Grind Through On Hard


In only a few decades, video games went from being a weird sideshow of bleeps and bloops to a billion dollar industry and pastime for millions, complete with its own competitive leagues. Anyone who grew up through this time has witnessed the growth of beautiful artform only to have its wings clipped by constant microtransactions and identical sequels.

Those 12-year-olds who were beating us at Halo and describing exactly what they did to our moms last night are now 26 year olds, still beating us at Halo and still describing what they're doing to our moms. Joke's on them though, cause unlike those guys, at least we don't live with ours anymore.

Seeing graphics go from angular smudges to "so hot it's become a problem for some of you people" has been a wild ride, and there's no guessing where the industry will go. Our money is on a big Pong Resurgence. That or VR games where we finally get to own a house. But why even bother with that when the Sims has existed for decades. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Just make an HD remake and resell it back to the people who are still playing the original.

Here are some more video game memes.

Stuff People Will Definitely Never Do Again


People always talk about how important it is to live life to the fullest and do as many things as possible. The inevitable outcome is that about half of those things aren't exactly gonna be worth it. Sure, things not working out sometimes is the price of admission for doing anything at all, but it sure sucks to learn that you don't like bungie jumping while actively bungie jumping.

And then there are the "activities" that are more like situations that last more than a few years. Sometimes those ones are hard to figure out only until you're on the other side. And then you have the clarity to say, "man, if I know one thing for sure, it's that I'm never gonna spend 5 years married to paint-huffing birthday clown ever again." Sure that's just a guess, but we're pretty confident about it.

Some of these may seem like common sense, others may feel like anti-adventurism. Everyone's different, so hey man go ahead and go to the bathroom after slicing a bunch of peppers, but be warned that your results may vary. Here are some things people did once and never again.

Husband Lies About Dark Origins Of Jack Frost, Wife Repeats Lie For 15 Years


It's not totally out of the realm of possibility. Santa Clause himself is known to have been the star of some freaky German fairy tails featuring pickled children and sacks of heads. So to think that the character "Jack Frost" is actually a nose-eating serial killer is sort of in line with the origins of the holiday season anyway. Throw in the fact that there are at least two Jack Frost themed horror movies starring a killer snow man, and you've got a recipe for a dark tale of almost reasonable proportions.

But the fact remains, this guy lied to his wife about Jack Frost and she believed it hook, line and sinker. Then she went on to tell other people that lie for years and years, becoming "the weird lady who is wrong about Jack Frost." And he never corrected her.

Sure, this could be seen as a betrayal of someone's trust, but everyone knows that if you've successfully convinced someone of a totally inconsequential falsehood for longer than a month, you keep that baby rolling for as long as possible.

And yes, it doesn't feel good to be bamboozled, but that's nothing compared to the joy felt by the bamboozler. For a similar one, here's the husband who lied to his wife about gummy flavors for 13 years.
