Crow Taunts Cats, Gets Them To Turn On Each Other


Just in case you had any lingering doubts about whether or not crows are intellectual creatures capable of stirring up all kinds of trouble, this video should put that to rest. 

Woman Yeets Bear Off Fence To Save Dogs


Some people freeze in the face of an adrenaline-charged crisis, and others act in such a way that people and animals' lives can end up being saved. The cousin of TikToker @bakedlikepie certainly assumed the latter more admirable stance. She didn't waste any time with taking care of business. We're just glad that everyone was able to get out of that dicey situation as soon as possible. It even looks like the bear was about to climb back over that wall again. Woof. 

TikToker Exposes Starbucks For Store-Bought Lemonade And Syrups


TikToker @torivile, made some waves on the internet after posting a video where she's shown exposing Starbucks for their store-bought lemonade and syrups. Honestly though, the reality is that every store can hit their low points where they simply run out of supplies. You wouldn't normally expect such a development from a place like Starbucks, but oh well, here we are. 

Girl Accidentally Hides Uncle's Car Keys For 7 Years


Kids can be quite devious. There's something hardwired into so many kids' brains that results in them carrying on with all kinds of mischievous, rule-breaking behavior. And then when a parent goes and introduces a reward system meant to encourage good behavior, some kids will even take the extra measure to cheat the system. In this particular scenario we have a girl who accidentally forgot about her uncle's car keys for seven years. Pretty dang hilarious. 

"Not My Job" Moments of Occupational Ineptitude


As human beings, it's our duty to complete our jobs with the absolute minimum in mind. To some degree, we all pride ourselves on looking like we've done our jobs without making our general apathy and unprofessionalism too obvious. That said, we're not perfect and it can show in the form of "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism. But also, it's not like an upside-down stop sign is impossible to read.

AskReddit Thread: Red Flags For Problem Roommates


The last thing that you or anyone else wants to find themselves confronting is the grim realization that the new roommate is a literal waking nightmare. Unfortunately, it seems like so often some of the world's most insufferable human beings are that much better at putting on a whole carefully practiced act when it comes to tricking people into thinking that they're nice human beings. Hopefully this AskReddit thread that's filled with red flags for troublesome roommates will be all the information you ever need to never find yourself in hot water with a nasty roommate. 

Spelling Fails That Gave Words a Hard Time


Ever have a text correspondence with a friend and discover that they think the phrase "dog eat dog world" is pronounced "doggy dog world?" Ever read a comment section and discover that a different friend spells "calamity" as "clam city?" Spelling failures are a lot more common than you'd think. You could chalk it up to poor proofreading or the state of public schools, but the errors will persist. There's no escaping the impressively creative and dumb spelling fails of the world.

Irrational Neighbor Demands Nutless Baklava


Food allergies are nothing to be taken lightly, but at the same time, being allergic to something doesn't mean that the laws of reality can change. It's kinda like the time this person learned that mayo isn't vegan. It seems like this person did their best to provide a delicious alternative, but sometimes it's just impossible to win. Maybe this guy is just trying to cover for himself after wrongfully promising nut free baklava? For another ridiculous food story here's the uncle who demanded a meat meal at a vegan wedding.

Highly Literal Moments of Technical Accuracy


We all like to think of ourselves as basically intelligent people. Does that mean that we're completely right about everything all the time? No, not really. We have the capacity to be right about most things, but the reality of knowing things is that it takes a lot of research. Why be totally correct when with a lot less effort we can be technically accurate and not incorrect? Empirical accuracy takes a second seat to the convenience of technically correct cleverness.

Server Says Restaurant With Full Bar Doesn't Have Cocktails, Customer Finds Workaround


This person's whole point about how making sure that you keep your expectations low can end up helping you not be disappointed as often is really right on the mark. The thing about this particular restaurant though is that they somehow outdid themselves when it came to offering lousy service. Like, how do you have a fully stocked bar, yet also not offer cocktails? Seems like a business opportunity is being a little missed out on. 

People Explain The Black Markets at Their Schools


It happened all the time. Some kid would start collecting walnuts that fell on school property, or a teacher would ban rubber bands, and all of a sudden there was a new schoolyard black market. It was a confusing, weird and stupid lesson in basic economics. For those aching for simpler times, here are the school memes for the mostly educated.

Twitter Thread: Guy Details Ridiculous Skyrim Adventures


It's an emotional rollercoaster of a story like the one that we have here that can really encourage someone to try their hand at a video game that they'd otherwise rain check on. Of course, this is Skyrim that we're talking about. If you've ever played Skyrim before you're probably very familiar with the fact that the game can inspire all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. Those side quests are something else, man. 

Woman Claims She's On Salt-Free Diet, Gets Exposed


We're not sure what compels people to weave their unnecessary webs of foolish lies. Especially when it comes to something as silly as rapping off a quick work of fiction about how they're on a salt-free diet. Well, the thing about lying is eventually you'll come across someone who has their BS radar up and running, and also has no problem calling someone out for their dishonest antics. Thus was the case for Sally. For another satisfying tale of malicious compliance, check out this story about a boss who accused an ex-employee of reporting them, and then actually proceeded to get reported.

Bold and Absurd Bootlegs and Ripoffs


What would the world be without wonderful and absurd knockoffs and off brands? Well, first off there'd be a lot fewer SpongeBob and Elmo-esque piñatas, but otherwise it would be a much more boring place. There'd be no more transforming robot Frozen 2 action figures or "official" Microsoft branded flip flops. Amazing and ridiculous knockoffs make the world go round at a relatively affordable price.

Considerate USPS Bro Vs Careless FedEx Lady


We've all had bad days where we don't care about our jobs, but that lady really let that package fall with thousand resonations of "I don't give a damn." In what couldn't be better PR for the US Postal Service, we've got a dude who goes out of his way to undo the shoddy work done by his FedEx predecessor and get the other packages out of the rain. Thanks, mail dude.
