The Funniest Football Memes Only Steeler Fans Will Understand


Pittsburgh is a drinking city with a sports problem, so of course they have some of the most intense and dedicated football fans. If you're from this city, you don't so much have to be a football fan per se, but you most definitely have to be a Steelers fan. Because if you ain't a Stillers fan, then "you ain't sh*t"—according to Steeler fans. These rowdy football fans are not only so intense that the team doesn't even need cheerleaders to cheer them on, but they also give their team a good name in memes. Sure, if you know football you would probably understand most of these memes too. But these memes are 100% Steelers, baby. Browns fans will cry. Raven fans will roll their eyes. And Patriot fans will probably punch a wall or throw something. But yinz Steeler fans will love these memes, even the ones that hit them where it hurts, because Steelers fans are the best!

Entitled Neighbor Karen Calls Tow Truck When Guy Parks in Front of His Own House


Most of the joy of owning or residing in your own place is that, while you're in that space, the rest of the world can be damned and leave you the hell alone. This is a privilege that is a huge motivator for a lot of folks who seek to enter themselves into immeasurable debt just to have a place that they can call their own. A place away from all the travelers, Karens, and other nuisances that are the entitled people of the world. 

Imagine this user's shock and horror when he was confronted by a Neighbor Karen in front of his own house for parking there. The feeling of having that bubble of peace pierced by her cutting gaze and sharp jewels must have been unsettling. 

Reddit user u/hunting-my-myelin posted this story to Reddit's r/EntitledB*tch subreddit in a thread titled "EB calls the towing service on me for parking in front of MY driveway." Commenters poked fun at the Karen and shared their thoughts in the comments.

Oh, and 'EB' in posts from this subreddit stands for "Entitled B*tch"

Monster-in-Law Organizes a Religious Ceremony for Grandkids Against the Parents' Wishes


Let's preface this story by acknowledging that we love all grandparents. We love when they try to understand trends, we love when they give weird outdated gifts (one time I got a DVD in 2019), and we love when they try to help. Hopefully, however, it's not too controversial to admit that grandparents can sometimes become an imposition.

 

This thread was posted on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Ecstatic-Bullfrog291, who shared her story about how her mother-in-law organized a surprise ceremony at a baptist church for her three-month-old twins without clearing it with the twins' parents first. The original poster and her husband haven't set foot in a church in over a decade and have actively sought to keep their children away from religion, yet despite being completely aware of this, the twins' grandmother made plans of her own. Not only did she find a pastor for the ceremony, but she insisted that the parents drive their twins several hours to her community. 

 

Let's not downplay this. Traveling with three-month-olds is about as excruciating and uncomfortable as watching Johnny Depp's appearance at the VMAs last weekend. So the question is: should this Redditor appease her mother-in-law, or should she put her foot down? We're going with the latter here. How a parent chooses to raise their children when it comes to religion is 100% their choice and no one else's. Compromising now might send the wrong message to the twins' grandmother, who could continue to push and push and push (like when you're leaving a store and don't see the sign that clearly says "pull"). We're also of the mind that the original poster's husband should take the lead on this because, after all, he's the Monster-in-Law's son.

 

We've seen other instances of family drama. Like this story where a college student excluded her mom from helping her move into her dorm room after years of feeling ostracized by her stepfather.

Dad Demands Participation Ribbon For His "Loser" Son, Gets Exactly What He Asked For


Ask, and you shall receive! Just beware that the Monkey's Paw doesn't curl into a fist and smack you right on your entitled behind.

That's what happened to Greg's dear old dad when he demanded a participation ribbon from Greg's karate instructor. It's an age-old rule that martial arts instructors are not people to be trifled with, but clearly, that's a lesson that Greg's dad never learned. He must have missed out on the cultural masterpiece that was American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt. So, when he grew aggressive with his entitled behavior, the instructor gave him exactly what he asked for.

After all, martial arts instructors have fists of hardened steel that are registered weapons of the FBI. 

In today's world, Greg's mom would be on Twitter trying to get Greg's instructor canceled for being insensitive to the losing kids. The instructor, meanwhile, would have thinly veiled political rhetoric and images of the Punisher logo sprinkled all over his profile. 

I love the idea of a loser ribbon, I feel like if I had received a few of those, I might have been spurred into more motivated adolescence. That, or caved to the increased weight of expectation. Who's to say? Either way, this is a glorious act of martial malicious compliance

Oh, and before people complain about my amalgamation of references to different martial arts genres, arts, styles (or whatever they're called) these things mean nothing to me, and as far as I can tell they're all the same. Except for that one where you pretty much just hug each other in different ways the whole time, that one's kinda weird.
