Cats Who Were Caught In the Act

On general principle, cats have no respect for you or your things and they'll knock your full mug of coffee off the counter just to see what will happen. They'll sit on your laptop because it's warm and they'll throw up in your shoes because it's convenient. That doesn't mean they're inherently awful creatures. It's just part of owning one. Most cat owners are pretty certain that cats can feel genuine affection, while dog lovers typically argue that they're devoid of any conscience or feeling, just a bunch of furry little Patrick Batemans scurrying around your house, looking for the next thing to ruin.

The reality is probably something closer to "cats do have a sense of right and wrong, but at the same time they still don't really care." That doesn't make any of your houseplants or favorite mugs safer from being tipped onto the floor and utterly destroyed, but it's at least an explanation. It makes sense that there'd be a lot of evidence of cats and their crimes. Hey, they want food even when they have it. This point is driven home by the fact that cats probably talk like disparaged Victorian children.

35 Horrendous Stories About the Worst Things People Ever Witnessed at Weddings

25 Dad Jokes That Are Dangerously Dadly

We can't all be dads. There just aren't enough lawn mowers, polo shirts, terribly cut jeans and Bass Pro Shop hats in the world to go around. But we can all inhabit the spirit of dadlihood by engaging in absolutely awful puns during every awkward silence, car ride and funeral that we find ourselves present at. Dadness isn't necessarily a set of qualities, it's a state of mind. Sort of like attaining the state of Nirvana. The state of Nirvana being, of course, Washington state, where the band formed.

Of all the things dads contribute, some of the most memorable are slews of horribly wonderful puns in the form of devastating dad jokes. Yeah, they're kind of horrible but what sackful of puns isn't. It's best to take the decent ones with the godawful and just tip your hat to the great spirit of dads. "Our father," if you will.

Man we're good. Still got it.

Tumblr Thread: A Rundown On A Rad Rock Collection

Anyone nerding out over something like rocks gets a win in our book. Fair to say that this rocks. 

It's a shame that rocks are associated with dullness or stupidity. The phrase "dumb as a rock" is likely never going away. And honestly, comparing our stupidest people to rocks isn't fair to rocks. Some rocks are absolutely brilliant. There are shiny rocks, rocks of all colors and properties. Even the way that certain rocks form is interesting! The world of rocks, or minerals if you're Hank from Breaking Bad, is massively nuanced and indulged in by an absolute boatload of people.

So here we have but an interested Tumblr user, gushing over their impeccable rock collection, with the added bonus of fun rock facts. Hey man, rocks are interesting and they deserve our attention. They're all around us, they're in our buildings, roads and phones. And they'll be here long after we're gone. And then we'll become rocks. So for those about to rock, we salute you.

Nervous Climber Accidentally Gives Cute Girl the Wrong Number After They Hit-It-Off at the Gym

The hero of our story, u/RollzRoiz, might have just found love at his climbing gym. When he hit it off with this climbing cutie he knew there was a chance that this might be the real deal. She asked him how the two of them were going to stay in touch and so, with nervous fingers, he entered his digits into her mobile device and calls himself so that he has her number too. 

To his horror. When he arrived home to check his phone, he realized that he had no missed calls. He had given her the wrong number. u/RollzRoiz is beyond rage, pain, and sanity. Wondering when and if he is ever going to see his true love again.

But, just imagine what she's probably thinking right now. Our OP, u/RollzRoiz, is sweating bullets over here because he has seriously F'ed up and given her the wrong number. But, from her perspective, she has just been brutally "stood up" and been given a blatantly wrong number. 

I think commenters are right and this guy should just find every excuse to live at the climbing gym until he runs into her again so that he can explain himself. 

He's still better off than this guy who accidentally submitted a guide to modding adult content into Skyrim instead of his college essay.

Insane-Entitled Boss Asks Employee to Come Into Work During Vacation Because They Are "Short-Staffed"

"But we're SO short-staffed!"

Nothing like getting that dreaded phone call on your day off asking if you can come in to help out due to your employer's lack of proper planning and permanent refusal to roster enough people to cover. Those are the major aspects of retail and hospitality that you're glad to get away from.

Getting that text/phone call during your vacation is a whole new level of which I have never heard. Pretty bold move by this manager, especially given her response when she was contacted on her vacation. 

Nonetheless, that's exactly what happened to u/Impossible-Head2121 at their job. This entitled boss expected them to show up regardless of the fact that they were on vacation. Who would have thought that this could ever be behavior that an employer would even consider?

Of course, the comments are quick to take u/Impossible-Head2121's side and offer them their support.

For more horrible bosses check out this guy who quit on the spot when he was asked "do you know my name" by the owner's son.

Red Flags To Look Out For In People

Everyone can live their own truth or whatever, but spend enough time alive and you start to notice personality traits that people can't stand. We could all gain something from spending our time around less manipulative or abusive people. See, the problem with people who lie a lot is that you can't really ever confirm or get them to admit that they're being manipulative. It's one of the things that keeps them from being found out. Ask a liar if they lie and they'll just lie some more. That's why it's important to simply know the signs so that you can come to that conclusion without going through the arduous process of making them admit something negative about themselves. Because remember, they won't. The only way to win is to not play the game.

At the same time, if we see ourselves doing these things it's a good chance to know if we're alienating our friends and coworkers. It's important to acknowledge yourself slipping into this kind of behavior, because people will actually tolerate it. That is, until they wise up and stop talking to you. We can dodge a lot of bullets by knowing what signs to look for in red flags for roommates or red flags at job interviews.
