Glitch in the Matrix: Couple Go on Movie Date, But Cannot Find a Single Soul Working There, End Up Seeing 2 Movies for Free


Sounds like the ideal date, tbh…

Shady Client Refuses to Pay Accountant So He Just Reports Them to the IRS


If you're doing something that is illegal, whether downright or just technically, it's always best to make sure that there isn't anyone who can rat you out. The best way to do this is the mafioso way of tying up loose ends… We're talking horse heads in beds, bodies six feet underground, maybe the occasional shallow grave. After all, dead men tell no tales. (Wait that last one is a pirate thing.)

If you're a member of the Sopranos this type of thing might be an effective strategy but the rest of us have another option. It's pretty simple and it goes like this… "Don't f--k with the people who prep your food or do your dirty laundry." It's a similar philosophy to "Don't break two laws at the same time." At a certain point of combining factors and risk, you're just asking for it. 

This epic tale was posted to the r/ProRevenge subreddit by Redditor u/redditadmindumb87 who shared their friend's story of the revenge that they exacted on a shady client.

It's a long read but well worth the time.

Fed-Up Lecturer Insists Breastfeeding Law School Graduate Turns Her Web Cam On, Gets What He Asked For


"Ask, and you shall receive." This breastfeeding mother ensured that this verse held true with her response to her lecture's demands to turn on her web camera during an online training session.

She had, before the lecture, let the presenter know that she was going to be keeping her camera off to keep her sick baby fed when she needed to be. Despite this, the lecturer called her out and told her that she needed to have her camera on "So that he knew [she] was paying attention."

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by Redditor u/bittyboo242, a new mother who recently graduated from Law School. She shared her story to the popular subreddit with the title, "Sure, I'll turn my webcam on." as a nod to her actions of malicious compliance.

Commenters voiced their support for her actions.

"Wonder what he was expecting." user AngryCod mused.

Distressed Mother Takes Baby Formula From Hoarder's Cart, Asks Internet If She Was Wrong


This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A--Hole) subreddit by a distressed mother, posting from a "throwaway" account 
u/throwawayformula893. u/throwawayformula893 wants to know if she was wrong for her actions during the incident that occurred while she was trying to find baby formula to feed her child. 

This isn't something that we would typically be able to voice support for. Typically snatching things out of other people's shopping carts would be highly antisocial. Even in this situation, it crosses some of the lines that societal norms set. But, that being said, was it an unethical move? Hoarding during a crisis or emergency is undoubtedly unethical. This must mean defying a societal norm to make sure that you stop these people (and get what you need to survive) is ethical. 

Looking at the situation in this way seems to be the reason why Reddit ended up voting "NTA" (Not the A--Hole) on this thread, despite the immediate issues with this mother's actions. 

User poddy_fries touched on this line of thinking with their comment, "Y'know, sometimes the question isn't if you're TA, it's that it's not always morally wrong to be TA. Edit: NTA"

What's your take here? TA (The A--Hole) or NTA (Not the A--Hole), or does Everyone Suck Here (ESH)?

Double Take-Inducing Image of Things That Look Like Other Stuff


The human eye is a magnificent thing, capable of discerning between incredibly minute shades and hues, able to make meaning out of things that are terrifically great distances away. The human eye will also look at corn and go "what's up with that lady." Maybe the easy-dupability of the human eye is a good analogy for the duality of humans in general. We're all capable of incredible feats of self-determination and creativity, but we're also the people who will jump at the chance to spend 35 dollars on a T-shirt with an opossum on it. Not that that's a particularly bad use of money. It just is what it is. But some things? Some things aren't what they look like they are. And we think that those things are pretty fun to look at.

Like these great many confuzzling moments of skewed perspective or these things that look like other stuff.

25 Of The Creepiest Things People's Kids Said


There's no shortage of the wildly creepy things kids say. The fact that they're new here, just trying to get a handle on reality, and also don't really know what is appropriate to say in any given context leads them to spill some terrifically creepy junk. It could be that they don't have a perfect lock on their imaginations, but for some reason it's pretty common for them to wake up in the middle of the night and insist something like "the man with the long nails stands over my bed" or something just as bonkers. And it's not like they should be ignored outright for fear that they're actually describing something real, but for the most part we all have to assume that they're saying this kind of stuff because, for the most part, kids are dumber than bushels of hammers.

All we can hope is that they grow up to be less creepy adults.
