Ominous Signs That Pump Up The Creepiness


If you were walking down the street and you saw a sign that said "Warning, Bone Reavers" what would your first thought be? Sure, it might be "what's a bone reaver?" Well one can safely assume that whatever it is, it reaves bones. And guess what baby, you're full of bones. Assuming your bones haven't been reaved yet, your next thought might be "maybe we should leave." And that's a terrific thought to have. One that you may not have had if a good samaritan hadn't risked their own bone-reavement in order to put up this handy sign. So let's take a moment and thank the very real and very creepy signs that warn us of things like electricity and falling snakes on a daily basis.

Sure, some creepy signs can ruin the mood, but reading a sign that says "beware of flaming sinkhole" is a whole lot more convenient than falling into one and having all of your clothes burned off while your crush watches and laughs. Just kidding, you'd probably just burn to death. Anyway, the lesson is that we all have something to gain from terrifying signs that speak the language of fear.

Neighbor Tries to Make Woman Pay Vet Bills After Their Dog Eats Food on Her Property


Reddit user ChocolateDog9 has experienced something that is, unfortunately, all too commonplace in neighborhoods... Dealing with entitled people and their untrained animals. 

There is nothing worse than having to navigate the minefield that is an entitled neighbor. Those types of people think that they can simply do no wrong. All it takes is one incident (usually caused by them) to make the entire relationship unravel.

I mean, this one is an obvious open and shut case isn't it? If you can't control your pet and keep it off of someone else's property (where it then proceeds to destroy something of theirs) then there's not much more you can say. If said pet then needs to go to the vet for something it ate (on their property) there's no reasonable reason why you should then ask the owner of the property to pay for it.

It's not like she intentionally left poison out for the dog to eat or anything sadistic like that. So why should she have to pay a dime?

Wholesome Things People Did For The Love Of The Game


What does it say about us that we're able to eschew the modern-day pragmatism of chasing a dollar of bending over backwards to please the powers that be in favor of doing things just because we like to do them? Maybe that at least most of us aren't as selfishly motivated as we think? Our lives are constantly exhausting, to the point that we often equate time spent doing nothing as the only "good time" one can have. But the fact is that we're supposed to like actually doing things. And doing things for no reason other than helping someone else can be pretty nice.

As miserable as other people can make us, and as meaninglessly complex life can get, it's at least a good reminder that doing good things for other people actually makes us feel good. It's really not that complicated. To test your moral mettle, indulge in the shopping cart theory of morality. For some wholesomeness, here's a tumblr thread ageless matriarch that is mamaw or this twitter thread on this movie theater's favorite customer.

News Cameraman Gets Food Poisoning at Old Folks Home, Films More Than He Bargained For


It's stressful when plans get derailed. It's mores stressful when plans get derailed for the worse. And when plans get thrown off so hard that you end up with reported documentation of your own diarrhea warzone, it's pretty safe to just call it a day, take a deep breath and try again tomorrow. This dude found himself in an old folks house of horrors wondering how things could have gotten so bad.

We've all had brutal work days, but based on this guy's performance, it sounds like he deserves an Emmy. It's weird when you can put together the puzzle pieces of your own misery as it happens in real time. Absurdly bad things happen and man, we just gotta live with our mistakes. Here's a guy who didn't know he had been living with athletes foot for years.

At least at the end of the day we can take these things in stride. Sort of. Like he won't forget about this probably ever, but it's still important to try and make these kinds of adventures something worth reporting on.

New Owner Fires Top Employee For Misconduct Using Fabricated Lies, He Sues and Watches Company Dissolve


If there is any way to save a dollar and lose a fortune, this has to be it. 

When the new owner took over this company, all they could see were their immediate costs and decided that getting rid of all the top paid employees was a top priority. 

There was no consideration made for what those employees might be contributing and what their unique strengths might be. 

So when the owner decided to frame this top-earner and hang them with a whole heap of lies, they set themselves up for a big lawsuit. In asking them to come back to finish out their 12 weeks, when they realized there was no one to replace them, they proved that the misconduct accusations were false and solidified the case.

Read on as u/nicklo2k tells this incredible story.

 This guy and the worker who sent a detailed list of demands to their employer should be friends. 

Guy Destroys Ex-Wife's Divorce Attorney By Sending Him a Massive 'Fax Bomb', Destroys Their Printer


There's nothing better than when some complete toolbag gets given exactly what they've asked for and in doing so also gets served justice.

That is exactly what happens in this story told by Reddit user FederalAnt9 who describes the incident that took place between himself and his wife's divorce attorney. 

FederalAnt9's soon-to-be ex-wife somehow got it in her head that he had been hiding assets from her during their marriage and her lawyer was determined to find where those assets might be. Either way, he was going to drown FederalAnt9 in records requests.

I'm never entirely sure what people were expecting in situations like this. Clearly, this lawyer was trying to prey on his client's ex -thinking that there was no way he was possibly going to be able to provide what was requested. But on the off chance that the guy did have all of the records, wouldn't this kind of be the expected outcome?

Anyways, this lawyer decided to tool around with the wrong guy and got exactly what was coming to him.
