Parents can end up doing some awfully silly, seemingly nonsensical stuff. Maybe it's all in the perspective though. Like, the younger generations will just never understand how their parents ended up with some of the strange, conditioned behavior that they did. That being said, it can make for some awfully entertaining situations.
So well, today I learned that books are adorable when they're first hatched. With that being said you've got to hand it to the imaginative minds of Tumblr to take us to creative places we never saw coming...like, where on earth books actually come from? On top of that, Neil Gaiman backs the theory, so it might as well be recognized as totally legit. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this post about how relationships evolve over time.
Sure, movies don't have the time to account for literally every plot-independent detail in a character's life. Plus, a 10-hour movie where the main character spends half their time in traffic and on the toilet wouldn't be fun to watch. Probably. But there are too many flagrant and obviously unrealistic movie moments that never get corrected. For some more movie dumbness, here's tumblr uncovering the nine types of movie posters.
You probably didn't think you'd end up watching a rolling montage of water towers collapsing in on themselves, but here you are. It's clear to see that these water towers are certainly having some rough days.
Even though it a lot of jobs feel like we're signing away our lives to be at the total mercy of a giant corporation, sometimes we actually have more power than we think. This person was getting jerked around but it turned out they had some extra rights up their sleeve. Even small affronts can motivate employees, like this worker whose wages were illegally docked so he crushed his boss's dreams.
This dude's got mad skills. He had the courage and the talent to be able to pull off singing an entire song from "Beauty and the Beast" by himself. The audience must've been equal parts mystified and pleasantly overwhelmed by the spectacle.
Hanging out in the yard is all fun and games until you accidentally coax a raccoon into your hammock area. Arron Reynolds described the moments of panic that set in when he realized he was sitting face to face with a raccoon who seemed just as confused as he was. For another intriguing animal story, here's a dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.
Are we supposed to love the people around us all the time? Because their wire-consolidation and peanut-butter-eating habits make it really hard to maintain good faith in a relationship. It's not like someone's toilet paper strategy is tearing this family apart, but lord almighty couldn't you just put the goddamn roll on correctly like an adult? These are the many frustrating habits of people's spouses, and if you're with someone who does all of this, good luck.
As surprising as it might be for some folks to hear, there are wildly entitled human beings in this world that are ready to go full berserker mode over a restaurant like Olive Garden running out of breadsticks. There's something about the whole "unlimited/bottomless" promos that can end up bringing out people's most irrational and plain old rude sides. This ex general manager from Olive Garden certainly saw his fair share of low points for humanity.
Man oh man, you just never really know if you're going to end up in a living situation that's hopelessly bogged down by a tyrannical landlord who misplaced their moral compass. Sometimes the relationship between a tenant and their landlord can end up falling apart when it's least expected. This scenario certainly fits that mold. Mary seemed like she was great at the start, but that welcoming facade quickly gave way to the real monster that was hiding out inside. We're just glad everything worked out for the tenant by the end. The look on Mary's face must've been priceless too.
Different job titles have different goals, but at their heart, every worker has the same goal: do as little work as possible without getting fired. Our universal desire to not try all that hard leads us down some strange paths, like these "not my job" moments of professional ineptitude. Who needs straight road lines anyway? People get up to some real quality moments of unprofessionalism.
Weddings have an uncanny knack for inspiring people near and far to act out the worst versions of themselves. It's probably attributable to the fact that you have various folks being brought together that never should've been in the same room to begin with. You've also got various people getting caught up in the hopeless chase of ensuring that everything is literally perfect. Such an unattainable goal will only result in a meltdown. This bridezilla sounds like she's been all kinds of toxic and unreasonable. Seems like the bridesmaid's decision to not attend the wedding is entirely understandable.
Everyone has their breaking point, and when some people hit theirs they decide to engineer and execute acts of professional revenge. Take the brother in this story for instance: he was fed up with a travel insurer that just wouldn't make things right on a rather staggeringly pricey trip. Well, he was certainly able to teach them a lesson.
What a classically amusing and mildly infuriating choosy beggar scenario. The choosy beggar actually ends up getting what they wanted, but then proceeds to pitch a fit because they've deluded themselves into believing that they were somehow screwed over in the process.
While the noise that we hear in this video is absolutely giving off some unnerving, horrific vibes, it's equally mystifying to behold the mushroom hunter's superhuman level of chill. It looks like he's planning on returning to that same spot for another video, and we're honestly ready for it.
Those tricky floor-fountains every city center seems to have are the bane of every dry, non-observant pedestrian. It only makes sense they'd go off at even less opportune times, like during an outdoor market for instance. It's a little reassuring that everyone has an off day, even the person with the keys to the fountain.
Superhero movies are here to stay and so, apparently, are their super strange tropes like superwomen smiling after being punched, "serious" superhero films taking place in insane asylums, and longing for some romance always leading to a loss of superpowers. "Doctor" Jordan Breeding is technically out this week, but thankfully The Incredible Spider-Professor Angry Hands Hammer Man is here to save the day!
We're not out here advocating acts of thievery in the slightest bit, but the way that Ellen went about calling out this audience member who was stealing, was pretty heartless. She didn't give the audience member any slack at all.
TikTok user @elizabethao037's video of her cringe-packed attempt at a hug garnered quite a bit of attention from amused folks near and far. It's no surprise. There's something hardwired into human beings where we're prone to enjoying seeing someone else struggle -- to an extent, of course. The struggle was certainly very real for this girl when she tried to go for that hug.
It's only a matter of time before you end up crossing paths with a toxic mess of a human being who blindly insists on spreading ignorance and entitlement into the atmosphere. This particular entitled Karen was really on one when it came to not being understanding in the slightest bit over some scheduling issues for her kid's guitar lessons. Fortunately though, the guitar teacher was more than ready to put Karen in her place.
There's no denying the fact that folks in the older generations experience their fair share of troubles when it comes to smoothly navigating all this crazy, advanced technology available nowadays. If anything, the funny fails that can result from the collective confusion is a humorous reminder of just how quickly things have progressed. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about foiling the psychic ice cream cat.
When the hierarchy gets overzealous and cocky, things can get out of hand real fast. This employee found themselves under direct orders to not double check a coworker's work, and low and behold, they wasted a whole bunch of money. At least there are times when all the blame falls on a supervisor, like this incompetent manager who demanded worse customer service and got all the blame.
The universe is stuffed to the brim with an infinite amount of mysteries. There's so much to this life that we'll never understand. To make it even more endlessly strange, many of us have experienced those unexplainable "glitch in the matrix" moments where it's as if reality itself bugged out for a hot second. This can manifest as weird patterns that escape logic altogether. So, buckle up and brace yourself for this rollercoaster of bizarre stories.
Contrary to the belief that pets just sit there and mope all day, many animals have rich inner lives filled with jealousy and rage. There's dogs out there herding lawn roombas and cats out there being eloquent, melodramatic divas. There's cats Lion Kinging other cats off balconies and jealous horses up to no good. Animals are just as petty and vicious as the rest of us.
There's nothing quite like the powerful nexus of emotions and demands that come into play when an entitled person goes all out with some extremely narcissistic wedding plans. But too often the shame storm they generate doesn't fall on them in full force. In this case, she found out that everyone thought she was being unreasonable, and decided to take some really unhinged steps to rectify it. For a more straightforward bridezilla story, here's one where a bridezilla ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.
Live with anything long enough and you're bound to notice some patterns. This tumblr user found that for some mystical reason, their cat knew exactly when there was going to be ice cream, so it became a process of tricking the cat. It fits into the long line of tumblr users who seem to notice things about their cats, like how cats are just eloquent enough to be melodramatic.
This world's clearly never going to run out of entitled people and their endless series of wildly irrational demands. In this case, we have a terribly entitled mother stage a temper tantrum after being rightfully rejected a doll that she wanted for her daughter. The thing about the doll is that it never would've been appropriate to have given away. Clearly though, the mom just wasn't able to peer through the thick veil of her own ignorance.
There are plenty of parents in this world that end up having to deal with terribly stubborn and ridiculously entitled children. However, every now and again there's a situation where the kid ends up genuinely financially struggling no matter how hard they've been trying to dig themselves out of the hole. The daughter in this scenario sounds like she wasn't in the wrong in the slightest, and if anything, the dad could've handled the situation with far more grace and understanding than he offered.
Life is a funny and strange thing. It'll oftentimes chuck curveballs our way, and remind us that there's so much we'll never be able to plan for. Sometimes, that can manifest in crossing paths with folks you haven't seen for years in the most unexpected of places, at the most unanticipated of times. If anything, those moments can serve as a great reminder to expect the unexpected.
You just never know if you're going to end up moving in next to an absolutely awesome human being, or end up living next to a waking nightmare. It's all a gamble. With that being said, this guy's low-key neighbor hero is crushing it with his accordion skills. A true treat for the ears.
