'Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. I hated it so much that I wanted to cry': 35 Terrible movies that people regret seeing in theaters


What's the worst movie you've ever paid to see in a theater? 

One poster in the r/Movies subreddit asked this burning question, and people had some incredible answers! A lot of people seemed to see "Epic Movie" in theaters, which is understandable, because if you're a teen, you might think that movie sounded cool. But the people who paid money to see "Highlander 2" and "Holmes and Watson" in theaters, WYD? I'm so sorry to those people who paid to see those on the big screen. 

Someone else said they paid to see the "Emoji Movie" in theaters. That movie deadened my soul, so I'm glad I watched it on a streaming service while babysitting, the way it was intended to be seen. The kids loved the movie, but when you're a kid, you tend to love most movies. Some people in the comments shared this sentiment, saying some movies made them realize for the first time that a film could actually be unenjoyable. 

Next up, these people spilled the tea on the worst romantic gestures they've ever experienced. 

20 School Fails That Prove Teachers Are Human Too


This one goes out to all the teachers out there! You should be getting paid way more given what you all have to put up with, but until that happens, here is a compilation of school-related fails from textbook typos to innocent classroom mistakes. When you're done, here's a list of roommate fails.

'He bought me a beautiful pendant... unfortunately I'm allergic to nickel': 30+ People share the most unromantic gestures they've ever experienced


Creating memorable romantic gestures is a skill that not everyone has, according to the people who shared these hilariously bad romantic missteps

The OP asked r/AskWomen to tell the story of the "worst well-intended romantic gesture a SO ever did for you," with the added bonus of sharing their reaction. People shared a lot of really terrible presents, along with some situations that just seemed like mistakes. 

I'm infuriated for the woman who shared the story of her friend being proposed to with a ring that turned her finger green. She goes on to say that the fiance insists that she's just not washing her hands properly, and that's what's causing the green skin tone. Some people just aren't meant to be together, and you can definitely tell by the quality and thought that goes into these presents. When the gift is so far removed from what the person actually wants, it opens your eyes to how wrong the relationship actually is. 

After you check out these unfortunate gestures gone wrong, read about these people who had super embarrassing moments, and still decided to share them with the world. 

'You all sound unhappy and miserable': Guy discovers his wife has been communicating with his estranged sister, now threatens divorce


Send all these people to therapy! Rarely do the ruthless judges of Reddit's AITA community come across a story where virtually every single party makes a compelling case for being the AH. This thread was posted by u/thegoldenstitch, who demonstrated how the divorce of his parents years ago completely turned his relationship with multiple family members upside down.

 

Not only did the Redditor become estranged from his mother after her infidelity, but he also became estranged from his sister, who clearly played no part in the divorce herself. By the time OP met his wife, he informed her about these difficult dynamics, and while it might have been inappropriate of her to engage in communication with her sister-in-law's husband, at least she did something to try to mend the relationship. All her husband was doing was stewing and taking the very questionable advice of his dad, who seemed to be driving a wedge between his son and his daughter-in-law. Messy!

'I'm A Genius!' : Top 20 Funniest Verdicts By Shower Masterminds We've Seen This Week


Good ideas are never born when you're on the brink of a mental breakdown or having a panic attack at work. I am convinced that the best ideas actually come to mind when you're simply chilling. We can take Isaac Newton as an example, as it has historically been suggested that he came up with the law of universal gravitation after an apple plopped onto his head, while he was resting under a tree. There is no actual evidence to support the theory, but the myth has not been entirely dispelled, so we're gonna take it as a fact for now.

My point is: Shower thoughts. Your thoughts wander through the different weird valleys in the atoms of your brain, frolicking about and coming to some pretty strange, but accurate conclusions. Whether you're a Wim Hof fan and you're trying to distract yourself as you sit miserably in the ice-cold shower, or if you're normal and are enjoying a warm temperature, showers seem to be blessed with a certain magic that allows you to capture said thoughts and figure out you're secretly a genius.

There is a Reddit thread that is entirely dedicated to Shower Thoughts, and while scrolling through it, I've picked out some of the best I've seen this week. You can check them out down below. If you're having a tough time at work this week, you're welcome to click here for a great ol' batch of memes that are sure to make it just a little bit better.

'Some people might not think it was purely platonic': Married guy goes off the grid once a year with his friend, wife gets enraged


This guy tried to paint his wife as annoying, but the truth came out in the comments. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Remarkable-Use-8439, who shared that he and his male friend have been going on a phones-free vacation once a year for over a decade. His wife seemed comfortable with this, but now that they are married and living together, she became annoyed that he was difficult to reach.

 

That's the story this Redditor tried to tell, but what actually was going on here was much more questionable. OP revealed in the comments section that he and his friend had been intimate before back in their college days and implied that their relationship might not be purely platonic. So while in theory, he's not the AH for wanting to have a weekend off the grid with his friend, in reality, this was clearly a relationship that made his wife uncomfortable. Sounds like there's a lot of self-discovery this guy needs to explore.
