We can always count on the wonderful and wandering minds of the Tumblr world to shine some light on new topics that people might otherwise be unknowingly holding misconceptions about. Clearly, this Tumblr thread is trying to break down the assumptions that are being held about chickens and eggs, and local farming in general. Always interesting to hear different sides of the story. Check out some more tweets and gems to make the day more tolerable over here.
An HOA or Homeowner's Association can either be a minor inconvenience or it can be costly dictatorship, depending on who's on the board. People have to deal with nightmare HOAs where they get fined for having visible garbage bins.Some people defeated the Queen Karen of their own HOA. And others just looked forloopholes in the HOA's monthly fees. The bureaucracy never ends.
Some people really get into their whole birthday cards game. Of course, it can be even more fun to go against the grain and give people birthday cards that definitely aren't doing exactly what's expected of them. So, we have this humorous little thread where people give out birthday cards that have the hilariously wrong ages on them. It makes for an entertaining little trip. If you're looking for some more gold from Tumblr check out this funny Tumblr thread about an Ultima online player unleashing a nuclear revenge as a tavern owner.
There's a stereotype about American tourists being obnoxious. It's easy to picture us waddling around, touching artifacts and complaining about "how run down this ancient castle looks." Lucky for us, sort of, a few other big and rich countries are also known for having horribly entitled tourists. Of course it's bad that there's more entitlement in the world, but it's at least better to not be the only ones that everyone completely disdains. But here are some really dumb and obnoxious things American tourists said and did. And here are some dumb complaints people had for their travel agency as well as some weird habits in the U.S.
For the most part we're all bored, boring people. And as turgid lumps of wasted space, we need some funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later. That way we can trick other boring people into wanting to be near us for some amount of time. Were we always this repulsive and dull? Honestly it's hard to remember. But what is easy to remember are tumblr gems and funny tweets to cackle at.
The thing about taking those much needed vacations and potentially even dipping your toes in the warm waters of some faraway paradise is that you're banking on your work life not eclipsing the dreamy sunsets of whatever destination you've chosen. By the sound of it this company was put in a bit of a tight spot because the supervisor could've done a more effective job at leaving all the important info that they needed to leave, with the company, before they dipped out.
The road of acquiring more and more wealth can give way to all kinds of curveballs. There's something about having tons of money and then developing quite the strange array of personal tastes. Maybe it's because that bank account is gleaming with such a heavenly glow that a person with enough wealth just can't be bothered to play by the rest of the world's series of rules -- unspoken and spoken. Naturally, that results in some rather ridiculous scenarios.
There are far too many examples of senseless, outright ruthless individuals going out of their way to unleash havoc on perfectly peaceful mailboxes. Seriously, it ain't easy being a mailbox in this world. Fortunately, there are also a decent number of ingenious individuals that are more than ready to use their engineering brainpower to craft invincible mailboxes. If you got a kick out of this pro revenge story, check out this pro revenge story where a dad crafted an invincible mailbox amidst a road rager's maddening antics.
This isn't the first time that we've read about the HOA driving an otherwise completely peaceful homeowner just a little bit crazy. Unfortunately, the HOA seems to attract all kinds of Karens and petty tyrants that get caught up in wielding whatever "power" they have. So, it's nice enough to see someone successfully waste the HOA's time. I wonder just how much of that time that they'll be able to successfully end up wasting. For another tale of malicious compliance check out the time that a customer asked a restaurant to cut a burrito in half, and then how the restaurant maliciously complied.
Seriously, it's a wonder that some people are able to get their licenses. The fact that we have to share a road with these kinds of wildly clueless folks is just a little bit unsettling. And seriously, what's with people just not using bungee cords to tie their stuff down? Nope, better to take the life-threatening route like the mind titans in this gallery.
Maybe it's the state of public schools. Maybe it's parenting. Maybe no one cares. Maybe reading books is just lame. Either way, we see a whole lot of spelling fails out there that don't need to be out there. No one wants to be a stickler about this kind of thing, but when you see your third person of the day say talk about how they're taking things for granite and asking you to be more pacific, it wears you down. Here are some more regrettable and dumb spelling fails.
There's nothing like being out and about, taking a sweet inhale, and then realizing that you've unfortunately swallowed a big ole bug. At least this news reporter maintained a sense of humor about the whole situation. He was also clearly ready to go after the event presented itself.
There's nothing quite like seeing someone completely lose themselves in their love for a sport. Especially when it's done so in a functional and supportive way just like the Aussie coach named Ariarne Titmus did when his swimmer ended up taking home the gold medal for the 400-meter swimming race.
A few years back at Parookaville, an EDM festival in Germany, people got to see the more dramatic implications of not staking their tent to the ground during some surprise inclement weather. It would be almost pretty to watch, if it wasn't such a majestic way of losing all your crap at a music festival.
The internet has far too many lies to go around. Unfortunately, so many of our social media feeds can be clogged up with people trying to fuel their needy egos with stiff shots of dopamine that rides on the coattails of complete, dishonest nonsense. In this case, we have a nice real life example of a guy trying to pawn off a lie about owning a Lamborghini. Let's just say that he doesn't get very far with his master plan before the truth is revealed. I can't imagine how much cringe flooded his nervous system after he was outed.
As far as reasonable requests go, this woman's request for her husband to leave a lasagna alone that was specially prepared for a birthday seems completely reasonable. However, it sounds like her husband couldn't be bothered to take her request seriously. So, a pretty expectable drama ensues. I mean, what did he think was going to happen? And then he goes ahead with the cold shoulder in response to her reaction? Yikes.
If anyone needed some tips on becoming wealthier, healthier and happier, then here are some ideas. They're not good ideas, but they are definitely a type of ideas. Sure, these bad life pro tips might jack up your game instead of doing any benefit for anyone involved, but at least you can say you "tried." Here are moredumb and bad life pro tips to not do.
It is definitely an interesting reversal for a angry parent to demand that their kid be allowed to hold a gun without their permission. But hey, the inner workings of entitled people are a beautiful, horrible mystery. The thing is he was gonna let him hold the thing anyway. The dad just made things...tense. For another tale of wild parental entitlement, here are some entitled parents who lost it over a parking spot and got towed.
It's this kind of AskReddit thread that can ultimately be incredibly helpful for anyone out there who is on the path of self-improvement. Unfortunately, far too many of us can end up unknowingly putting out all kinds of terribly toxic behavior that's extra unbecoming just because the behavior is carried out from a place of ignorance, and even being conditioned by an environment that created the feeling that legitimately messed up behavior isn't completely messed up. Hopefully none of these ring a bell, but hey, it's never too late to make a change.
It's okay to completely lack a sense of humor as long as you don't suck up the fun for anyone else. These clueless people who missed the joke by miles have a way of making these jokes as funny as the three stooges rotting away in an old folks home, every day forgetting bigger pieces of who they are. So thanks guys. Thanks for taking everything completely literally, youfun-stealing dullards who didn't get the joke.
We shouldn't stress ourselves out by trying to sound brilliant all the time, but we also need to understand the dangers of not thinking about anything we say. Because people say some really dumb things. Every day, we reveal our mind-blowing ignorance by asking if cows lay eggs and expressing genuine concern that the island of Alaska will tip over. So be smart about it or else you too will join the ranks of the dumbest things people have ever heard. Don't become the source of someone else's facepalm moments.
The reality is that there are plenty of people in this world that unfortunately have to deal with very intense, potentially life-threatening food allergies. It ultimately falls on the restaurant to take those food allergies seriously, and at least try to cater to the information that they're provided in a timely manner. It sounds like this restaurant definitely failed to do so. Or, at the very least they could've thrown that order back out on the fly, and not had them wait all that extra time over some tomatoes. So, a 1-star review from the customer seems like a pretty reasonable development. Naturally, folks in the comments section were in agreement that the customer wasn't necessarily in the wrong for their decision to leave a scathing review.
You probably wouldn't go ahead and draw the assumption that the yarn community is filled to the brim with fascinating controversies. For instance, the whole faking deaths theme runs prominent within the community. On top of that, there's even a bit about setting babies on fire. Um, like what? Hold up. For some more gold from the ever interesting world of Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about a contortionist who went for a burrito mission to 7-Eleven and ended up traumatizing a cashier.
The world seems like it's never going to run out of choosing beggars and their wild, completely delusional levels of entitlement. Seriously, it seems like every other online negotiation between a seller and a potential buyer ends up being bogged down by a choosy beggar that can't be reasoned with. In this case, there's not even a sale going down. It's literally people being nice enough to lend out their very nice cars, and then being rudely rejected by someone who clearly has a strange (backwards) perception of what constitutes decent social etiquette.
There's nothing like throwing on a great movie and just stepping outside the otherwise constant stream of thoughts that occupy your daily existence. Instead, you can check out for awhile and get lost in the lives of the characters onscreen. Sometimes though, it can be tough to follow what's going on if you literally can't make out what's taking place on the screen. This quick Tumblr post does an effective job at pointing that out with Game of Thrones as an example. If you're looking for some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about an Ultima Online player that unleashed a nuclear revenge as a tavern owner.
The world's brimming with unexplainable horrors. Fortunately, we're able to live a whole lot of life that isn't bombarded by unexplainable moments that can instantaneously turn the world as we know it upside down. With that being said, maybe these people's stories of their own terribly creepy experiences will make you feel better about any moments that left you with a sick feeling in your gut.
There's nothing like happening upon a helpful loophole that just manages to make your life a bit easier. Some loopholes also hit different than others. If you're able to put any of these into practice as you go about your daily life, good on you. Check out some more pro tips that can give you an edge at life over here.
This guy's level of commitment to his performance of the iconic Pokémon theme song is nothing less than heroic. He really goes all the way with it. By the end of the song he's pretty much transformed into Jack Black himself.
Sometimes technology seems to go too far. This humanoid robot thing is just a little bit unsettling. Someone get this dude a contract already.
Mr. Rogers was hosting a discussion on parenting when one mother expressed her frustration over her daughter cutting her own hair. In classic Mr. Rogers fashion, he comes back with a simple observation that makes this mom rethink months of feelings in a fraction of a second. If this other guy hadn't interrupted, we'd probably have the only ever recorded instance of someone saying the words "holy sh*t" in front of Mr. Rogers.
