Dad Catches Foul Ball While Holding Kid


There are only so many things that make you feel like a fully realized adult, and this guy managed to do two of them at the same time. That said, we can't see his feet so maybe he's wearing a pair of limited edition Air Jordans at the same time. That would make it three. Anyway, hats off to this dude's hand-eye-coordination.

Curious Orca Tries To Befriend Stand Up Paddle Boarder


Clearly, the Orca was fascinated by that stand up paddle board. The fact that there happened to be a dude on it is besides the point. For all we know the Orca was investigating to see whether or not the paddle board was some kind of alien life form. For what it's worth, the Orca was very respectful and responsive the moment that the guy exclaimed, "AY!"

Karen Can't Figure Out Car Wash


Just for a maddening moment, picture yourself caught in the frantic flow of a busy day during the workweek when suddenly you find yourself stuck behind a fellow human being who doesn't understand the simple inner-workings of a car wash. To say that this could drive one to the brink of insanity might be fair. Actually yeah, this would flat out suck, man. Hopefully, Karen was able to drive away from the experience with the knowledge necessary to not have that happen again. 

Mom Tries To Impersonate Daughter For Account Info, Debt Collector Calls Mom Out

Fiancé Wants To Be Childless Stay-At-Home Wife, Disagreement Ensues


Relationships are all about shared and delegated responsibility, and if both parties agree to it, having one person be completely unemployed is that couple's decision to make. With that said, the prospect of choosing to be a childless stay-at-home spouse brings up the questions of "what would you do all day" and "maybe it wouldn't exactly be fair if I worked while you did... what was it you said you'd do all day?" For a story of marital bliss, here's the wife who proposed an open marriage and then was furious when the husband got a date first.

Highly Literal Jokes And Moments That Are Absolutely Not Wrong

Bizarre, Humorous, And Terrific Tumblr Gems


Tumblr is filled to the brim with strange, hilarious, and downright unexplainable observations about a wide array of topics.

Dumb Drivers Who Deserve Ample Ridicule


For some reason, it's hard for incompetent drivers to realize that it's not a good idea to tie forty Adirondack chairs to the roof of your Corolla with nothing but the help of some bailing twine and their wife sitting in one of the chairs to secure the load. But this is the world we live in, and just about anyone can drive a car, so here we are.

Business Gives Couple Demonically Bad Laser Engraving, Couple Wants Refund, Business Gets Taken To Court


Seriously, that laser engraving was straight up twisted, man. It's no wonder the couple wanted the refund. The fact that the business refused to make good on that refund, and it was over $40 is pretty far out. Fortunately, the court was able to back that couple up, and they ended up getting a glorious $230 refund when it was all said and done.

Freaky Events People Experienced That They Can't Explain


They say most Americans believe in angels, but this all might just as easily have been performed by demons, lesser demonic spirits, soul shenanigans, ghost junk, complex scientific phenomena, telepathy, or our personal least favorite, "they're just lying." The thing is, everyone has been in a situation that they can't completely explain, be it contacting a dead relative or having their own life saved by a complex series of coincidences, or just plain old bizarre experiences people don't usually talk about.

Woman Refuses To Cut Hair For Dad's Wedding, Family Drama Ensues


Oh boy, are weddings just endlessly ripe for all kinds of conflicts between family members. There's just something about the event that inspires people to get completely possessed by their unreasonable, inner perfectionist side. The thing about trying to make sure that something ends up being perfect, is that life by its very design is imperfect. There are fails and mishaps lurking around pretty much every corner. It's only a matter of time before one thing or another falls apart. In this case of this wedding drama though, we have a woman who stood her ground when it came to being pressured to cut her hair for her dad's wedding. The moral judges in Reddit's AITA community seem to be in agreement that this woman's adopted stance was totally reasonable.

This is nothing short of cringeworthy comedy gold. This guy had the nerve to put on a whole show like he was actually playing Halo, when in reality he was just streaming a YouTube video of someone else's Halo game. I wonder if he knows that people can see right through his dishonest little game.
