Now this is one succinct, well done story. For a heartfelt story that actually happened, here's the story about a train station voice that's a real feels trip. And for some creative writing prompt stuff, here's a tumblr thread that imagines aliens being fought off by wildlife.

This guy shared a powerful story on Twitter about an experience with his buddy, where he ended up having to spend the night after having one too many drinks. From there, it ends up being a wholesome tale of his friend being a genuinely great dude, who didn't feel the need to defend his actions just because of what society might expect him to do. Good stuff!

This guy tells the story of how he managed to keep a cool temper (thanks to his wife), and go on to outsmart what was arguably his worst customer of all time. Fair to say that this choosing beggar got so destroyed by this pro revenge that there's no way he'll think about trying his scam on someone else anytime soon!

We remember being idiot kids and doing stupid crap like wasting an employee's time on a joke order. That said, the humor is really lost once you've realized you've just spent money for a joke no one even payed any attention to. Here's a fun workplace prank of an employee who gets fake fired every time an awful customer shows up.

Maybe this driver was having a particularly bad day, maybe the box was heavy, but what seems clear is that this guy really doesn't care. Actually it's almost as if he hates the box and wants it to suffer. Word has it the package contained computer parts.

They say that that nothing can be certain except death and taxes, but it seems like there's always something trashy going on somewhere. You can trust that someone will be acting selfishly, be it stealing dinner plates for no reason, or leaving a futon on the highway. Trashy moments are a regrettable fact of life.

This new manager did their part to break the cycle of homelessness and help out the guy camped out behind their restaurant by giving him a job. Reminds us of this donut shop manager who handled a customer's angry review. Here are some wholesome memes to go with the theme of people helping each other out.

In an effort to try to recognize everything at a glance, eyes sometimes throw information at us that doesn't exactly make sense. Strange perspective can give us things that shouldn't exist, for instance, a valley inside of a fence post, or a cat with a human butt.

This guy made a grave mistake. And that mistake was one of him trying to tell a lady asking for money that he didn't speak English, while he very well did the whole time. It's tough to pull off the whole "I don't speak your language" thing when you're literally speaking their language right back to them.

Someone on AskReddit asked for firefighters to share the absolute dumbest predicaments they've had to rescue people from. It is alarming to think about what some individuals would do without the saving grace of some clutch firemen.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share those facts that they've heard that might sound legit, but are in fact totally fake. Some people really need to check their facts before they spread the false information into the rest of the world.

For anyone that's ever dealt with navigating the tender nature of a shared laundry room, and tried to ensure that your clothes don't get messed with, this one's going to hit close to home. Laundry is time-sapping and irritating enough without someone messing up your process. This person got caught red-handed, and ultimately was dealt the kind of petty revenge that had to have taught them a lesson.

School can be hard and regrettably expensive. Seeing your classmates not take anything seriously and still pass can be frustrating when you value your education, like this entitled college slacker who demanded their classmates notes and got denied. Also, if they're trying to be something like a doctor, you'd hope they actually study and know their field. This tutor got so frustrated with a ridiculously lazy student that he went and gave him some answers. Not the right answers, just some answers. Other teachers have wily ways of outsmarting cheaters, like this old professor.
