Player Falls for The Ol' Hidden Ball Trick


Whether you watch baseball or not, it's hard not to enjoy someone bending the rules so successfully at such a high level. It looks totally stupid and unfair, but it's also kind of awesome that anyone could get away with some crap like this.

Choosing Beggar Demands Free VCR, But Only If It's New


Man oh man, these choosing beggars are relentless. It's not every day though that you see someone pop out of the blue, demanding a free VCR, but only if that VCR is new. The dude can definitely afford to lose the attitude. 

1.

Text - Hi all anyone have a VCR they can let me have? Mine broke and I need it to record tv CB shows to watch later. thanks. Hi! You know there's more modern Me technology you can use, right?? But I have a VCR/DVD player combo! Yours for $20 but you'd have to pick it up. Thanks but I said "let me have".. And I *will* let you have it - for $20

Text - I meant for free. I'm 72 years old You know what? Sure, you can have it for free! ok is it new? No you can't buy new VCRS these days but it's in good condition and it has a DVD player as well

3.

Text - if new vcrs are no longer being made why did you want $20 from me for yours? Ummmm maybe because I have something you want! That's how business works. AND I said you could have it for free as a goodwill gesture. You can loose the attitude and im not interested if it isnt new

4.

Text - Oh. My. God! MY attitude?! You expected to get a brand new machine for free! And it's 'lose', not 'loose! As in "You're going to lose out on a great deal because I'm done with you and your 72 years of self- entitlement."

Total Downsides About Being An Adult


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various downsides of being an adult that teenagers don't realize. It's funny, when we're younger we can give ourselves over to this notion that when we grow up everything's going to be a whole lot better; but then you get there, and it's just a new world of unforeseen responsibilities. Suddenly, you find yourself craving the days of your youth when all you had to worry about was getting to bed at a reasonable time for school the next morning. If that.

And the idea of progress turns into an idea of just a sustainment? My advice to teenagers as you enter adulthood. The most important thi

I never realized how much I needed them emotionally until I saw my father through his open heart surgery, and saw Parkinson's take my mother's independence. So here I am still feeling like a t

Text - KarmaPharmacy • 5h Life is long and complicated. You can never truly get a fresh start. Things wear you down over time. And you just get so tired. Getting excited about things is hard, and when you're an adult and you get excited about something, there's usually another adult in line that is ready to tear you down for it. Just because they're shitty and the only thing they get excited about, these days, is shitting on others. Reply 242 ...

Text - imuncomfy5 • 5h Your "back up" is mostly gone. When you're a teen and screw up you can usually go to your parents to help you out of the hole you've put yourself in. As an adult that isn't there, whatever screw up is yours to dig yourself out of. Phone bill you can't pay? Ask mum for a loan (17 or 18) Phone bill you can't pay at 25 and it's an hour on the phone getting transferred to multiple people to ask for an extension which may be denied so instead of normal food you plan your meals

Brain-Tyrants Who Think They're Literal Geniuses


There's nothing wrong with being smart. There's something a little wrong with thinking you're a genius just because you once sat through a Youtube doc on quantum mechanics. And there's definitely a lot wrong with being a huge ass to people who are just trying to be decent to each other online. Here we have absurd people who think they're geniuses, coming around to brag about their supposed intellect. It gets so bad it's like some think they have super powers.
