Landowner Doesn't Understand Property Lines, Gets Resolved British Style


Honestly, they got lucky. Years long feuds have gone down over something like this. Could've shaken out a whole lot worse. 

Crazy Transformers Toy Transforms Into Optimus Prime


Kids are so lucky these days. Toys just keep on getting cooler. This wild Transformers toy actually manages to transform into the widely loved Optimus Prime. Pretty dang epic. 

Guy Edits Out All The Fluff In "Pawn Stars"


This dude has some mad skills. Folks in the comments section are already calling for more of this editing with other TV shows out there. 

Ewan McGregor Pokes Fun At Title Of Star Wars Ep II


Apparently, when Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, was released it garnered quite a bit of spicy feedback from folks that thought the title was plain old ridiculous. Ewan McGregor's face says it all. 

Incompetent Sales Rep Measures Wrong, Loses Six Figure Client


Oh man, seeing an unruly short-sighted person get their comeuppance just feels some kind of right. You'd think that given the context, and the fact that they were dealing with a big time, six figure client, that they'd have been more professional, but no they put their pride first. Yeah, they put their pride first and ended up paying the ultimate price. Definitely a valuable lesson. 

Maniacal Building Manager Grills Fire Marshall, Fire Marshal Plays Into It


This isn't the first time that we've seen someone in a position of power let all that intoxicating authority get to their heads, and we sure doubt it'll be the last time. It sounds like this building manager was just asking for a bit of a wakeup call. Fortunately, the fire marshal had the presence of mind to give it to him. And just picturing the rest of the people that were subjected to that infuriatingly long fire drill, rally around to vocalize their complaints is really something special. 

Leasing Agent Learns About Lease The Hard Way


The best part about this shady leasing agent is they thought they'd go ahead and get away with some unadulterated BS, without the tenant actually reading the finer details of said lease. Well, they certainly got humbled and learned their lesson in the end. Check out some more juicy housing drama with this landlord who encouraged their tenant to research their rights, and ended up losing the battle as a result.

Highly Unbalanced Highlights from Life on a Boat


For all the benefits life on a boat can afford (horrible schedules, really hard work, fear of drowning, seasickness), it turns out there are also some downsides. And upsides. Then back downsides. It's not the most stable lifestyle, let's put it that way. Here are some fun and freaky moments of seemingly impossible physics thanks to that good ol' fixed camera.

Delusional Manager Won't Accept Resignation


This person asked if they were right to walk out after their boss tried some weird manipulative BS by "not accepting" their two wees notice. It seems like they were well within their right, and are better off to have that garbage behind them. For another interesting quitting story, here's an employee who walked out and got a promotion out of it.

Totally Legal Things People are Addicted To


We're all creatures of habit, but some habits of ours become more than that. And it's not like  illicit substances or gambling or shoplifting are the only things people can become addicted to. Caffeine, sugar, or the satisfying feeling of a Q tip hitting the Q spot are all things we find ourselves depending on. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and tell yourself "you're addicted to diet coke." 

Husband Sells Wife-Made Sandwiches For Dirty Burger Money


In what he probably thought was the big-brain scheme of the century, this guy was selling sandwiches his wife made for him at work so he could buy fast food. It's a little sad, because clearly if they're in demand, the sandwiches themselves are really good. Is this too ridiculous and petty? Is it a massive betrayal of trust? It's definitely something, so the internet judged. And how hard is it for this guy to make his own sandwiches? For another relationship food quarrel, here's a picky eater husband who demanded fancier meals.

Twitter User Demands Drawings of Bepantsed Vulture, Gets Them


There is actually a legitimate medical reason for giving the vulture its pants, but that is buried under the undeniable spectacle of a bird wearing pants. The concept was all-consuming enough for Chappell Ellison to demand artists renderings of the panted vulture, and what came of it was, well, more vultures in pants. Nice. It's reminiscent of the time people were asked to share their art and draw a duck.

Customer Experiences Logical Paradox of Wet Clothes Stuck In Broken Washer


What do you do when your washing machine breaks, sealing your wet clothes inside itself? Do you bust open the machine like a safe full of your own sopping underwear, breaking the warranty in the process? Do you let your clothes rot in their tomb and eat the cost of half your whole wardrobe? It's not an easy choice already, but slap on some wholly unaware customer service and you've got yourself a predicament. Impossible-to-win moments like this are a good reason why some customers cause scenes.

Entitled Mom Harasses Neighbor About Free Babysitting


This is such a wild scenario that we're not even sure if it's totally accurate to just call the mom in this story "entitled." Like, she is far out there, man. The whole element in the story where she's apparently been taking the money her husband has been giving her for babysitting, is just a tad bit ridiculous as well. Like, what's really going on over there? With all that being said, we're just grateful that the dramatic, stressful saga was eventually able to be resolved when everything came to light, and the husband learned about what had been going on. The nerve of some people truly blows the mind. 

Woman Posts Ad For Prancer, The Most Irredeemable Dog


Dogs are blessed with their own unique personalities, and in Prancer's case, that's a major problem. We've all met dogs (and people) who are so maligned, so antisocial, so petty, vindictive and hateful that their search for any semblance of love sounds laughable. Prancer is advertised as that kind of being. Given his exposure, he'll probably find a loving home after this. But who knows if his little, shaking, snarling body has enough love in it to ever reciprocate the sentiment. For a story about a much nicer dog, here's a tumblr tale of a dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

IT Guy Misunderstands Bad Mouse Reference, Fail Ensues


You've got to love the terribly vindictive nature of the company involved in this rather absurd unfolding of events. After they clearly lose a case that they never needed to start up in the first place, they just have to throw out some more unnecessary animosity before it's all said and done. As for the IT guy misunderstanding the bad mouse report, it can happen to the best of us. Sounds like he was merely caught up in all of his company's nonsense. For another tech support tale, check out the time that an owner fired the whole IT department, and the sabotage that ensued

Tumblr Thread: Reasonable Bed Positions Explained


It's funny and enlightening Tumblr threads like the one we have here that can effectively shine a light on just how hilariously different, people's habits can end up being. In this case, we're dealing with a series of different, occasionally wildly unacceptable bed positions. Some people set their bed up to feel safe as possible. Some people are like Thomas Jefferson, and apparently from another planet. If this Tumblr thread got you going, check out some more random and funny Tumblr gems over here

Most Ridiculously Spelled Words People Have Encountered


It's far too easy to take for granted just how strangely spelled some of the words in the English language are. The weird spellings themselves can end up making for quite the hassle for when it comes time to actually say the words out loud. Seriously though, have we just accepted that desert and dessert are actually spelled wrong? 

Photocopier Artist Explains His Craft


One person's "stupid and pointless waste of time" is another person's "cool thing to do with a photocopier. On its most basic level, a photocopier should be the least creatively charged tool there is. Like, it's whole job is to make uninspired, exact copies of things; usually boring documents. But this man sees through the humble exterior of the photocopier and unlocks its creative potential.
