Eye-Twisting Moments of Strange Perspective


The world isn't always straight forward. Sometimes you're looking at it from the side, or some other angle that obscures your view of someone's face. It's these illusions of eye-defying double-takery that can make us go "waaahhh" while trying to figure out if that's a dog or a boat. Foreground be damned, doubletake inducing photos of skewed perspective are here to stay.

Tumblr Post: Kids' Hilarious Misconceptions About Teachers


Apparently a fair number of kids have a hard time believing that teachers are real people. Many of us have had those experiences where we came across our teachers out in the wild, far removed from the classroom, and were genuinely puzzled at how the teachers were outside the classroom. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about how dwarves' beards are too smart for their own good.

Text - icouldwritebooks I love it when the little kids l'm teaching online have complete and total misconceptions of what's going on. So far, I've encountered the following: 1. T had been teaching a little girl for several months, when one day she said to me: “My mother says you're a real person, not an app. If you're a real person, show me your husband."

Text - 2. I was about to end a class, but the little girl I was teaching didn't want the class to end. She turned to her mom and asked if she could please watch one more episode. Turns out she was under the impression that I was a very interactive TV program. 3. I couldn’t find my marker in class today. The boy I was teaching was like, “What's your apartment number? IPII come up and help you find it!" The boy lives in China and I live in the United States. I guess most people he knows live in th

Guy Feeds Crows, Crows Get Back At Bully Neighbors For Him


This is why you don't mess with crows, or better yet, why it pays off to have some feathered friends in high places. This guy's neighbors sound like they were a real piece of work, and generally unfortunate people to be around. Fortunately, he was able to befriend some crows that would appear to have picked up wind of this, and proceeded to stand up for him. With all the wild stories of people's experiences with intelligent, devilishly clever crows, it's really no big surprise. 

For another glorious tale of petty revenge, check out this story about a sister who always stole their sibling's food, so the sibling took revenge at graduation.

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/tempthethrowaway • 1d + Join 1 2 e 2 3 2 Feathered Friends in High Places Not sure if this belongs here, so let me know ok? TL;DR: Had issues with a neighbor over parking. Local crows l'd made friends with vandalized his cars in retaliation. So for background: The day we moved into this apartment complex our across the hall neighbors started bullying us. Why? We parked in the handicap spot next to the sidewalk to the building. Why? I'm handicapped.

2.

Text - Turns out one of them liked to park one of his 6 project cars there (illegally) and us using it for it's intended purpose was inconvenient to him. So we'd get a bunch of nasty letters. Eventually this escalated to them filing false noise complaints against us. We are a very quiet, and introverted couple. We don't interact with people, we always wear headphones and do everything possible to cancel out any noise we make. We prefer to live in a way that most people don't know we're here. Ok,

Text - Our building has a decent sized crow population. I've always liked them, so I decided to make friends. Spent some time doing research on them and their diets and went out and got some snacks that would be nutritious for them. Every couple of days l'd chop up some fruits and veggies and grains and take them out to their favorite tree in a little tupperware box. I'd pick it up later and it would be empty. It got to the point where they'd know what days I was coming and gather in the tree. A

Text - This came to a head shortly after I witnessed one of them back into our car and then take off at mach 20. I was visibly frustrated and screaming at them as they drove off. Police didn't much care, so that was a dead end. Or so I thought. A few days later I overheard the neighbors arguing. Apparently one of them wanted to set up cameras because someone was messing with his cars. He thought it was us. Claimed that there were small dents, scratches, and chips in his windshields. Other neighb

Text - They moved a couple of years later. Crows kept it up the whole time while this dude slowly went insane trying to catch the vandals. I don't think they ever figured it out. Edit: Thank you all so much for the awards, and my first gold! That and the comments made my night. Edit 2: Silvers and more neat awards? You guys are great. Thanks so much! 1.1k 81 1 Share

"Not My Job" Moments that Got the Job Done-ish


What would the world be without impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments? Probably more efficient. It just so happens not every task is as easy as we'd like it to be, but that doesn't stop us from putting in the minimum amount of effort. There's staircases to nowhere, misspelled everything, and a straight up general lack of responsibility. Not bad.
