Interceptions are easily one of the most exciting elements within the game of football. An interception can turn a game upside down, and send the fans into an uproar. So, when you have an iconic announcer like Gus Johnson around to highlight the moment that Penn State pulled through with exceptional defense, and an unforgettable pick, you know you're in for a good time.
It's probably dangerous to turn a garbage can into a cannon. It's probably a bad idea to fill a metal tube with explosives and hold it while setting the accelerant alight. It's probably illegal to disturb the peace with a garbage bomb. Well, one man's trash is another man's tool of war. Don't make one of these at home, especially if you're Oscar the Grouch.
Unfortunately, we share this planet with a whole lot of unnerving creatures that can effortlessly make our skin crawl at a moment's notice. When it comes to cockroaches, there's just something about those creepy crawlers that makes your spine tingle. Well, at least in the case of this cockroach who no longer crawls among us, Twitter felt inspired to give the cockroach the hilarious meme treatment. Suffice to say, we got some comedy gems.
Sure, if you're parking your car in your garage, you're technically "only using your driveway" when you're coming or going. But your goddamn driveway is pretty necessary to have when you need to get your car into your garage. This neighbor didn't didn't foresee the space issue of buying an enormous car for his kid, and tried to push that burden onto his neighbor. Here's another neighbor who lost a driveway altercationand a snooping neighbor who fell when they got hit by an opening door.
By nature it seems like human beings are prone toward fits of hopeless egomania, and it's dangerously easy to get caught up in the assumption that we're the most formidable foes that an alien army from the far reaches of outer space could encounter. Well, don't count out all the other terrifying, downright awesome creatures that roam this planet. This fun Tumblr story imagines what it'd be like if an alien invasion ended up being undermined by an assortment of Mother Nature's craziest creatures. For some more gold from the world of Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread that did a deep dive on the loophole in Davy Jones' curse.
Karen wanted a vanity painted. Fine. Then she wanted to buy the showpiece cabinet, but she couldn't, so she got mad. Great. Then she learned that having a piece of furniture sanded, hand painted and delivered would cost a lot of money. Why would that be the case? For some more appearances of the wild Karen, here's an entitled customer who left a lying review and got pushback from the owner as well as a Karen grandma who wouldn't take an early appointment and had a meltdown.
There is no shortage of advice in the world. There is, however, a great shortage of good advice. This results in the funny, baffling and tragic worst advice people have ever received. Probably one of the more interesting outcomes of receiving horrible advice is the realization that your parent or friend who urges you to buy a new car on a minimum wage salary might be a complete moron. When you get bad advice, you learn more about the person giving the advice that anything else. Here are some of the dumbest business ideas people have seen.
The world's in no short supply of sloppy failures, dangerous mishaps, and general moments where people couldn't be bothered to pull off their jobs correctly. Such is life. Chaos lurks around every corner, and life just loves to be difficult. With that being said, sometimes we need to take a healthy pause from otherwise steadily swimming through the endless stream of fails, to instead embrace a heartwarming story that's so powerful it might actually (temporarily) restore your faith in humanity. Well, this story definitely fits the bill for that. Shoutout to Twitter user @saysthefox for sharing her beautiful story with the world.
There are countless professionals that just can't seem to be bothered to do their jobs correctly. On top of that, people can be wildly stubborn creatures that'll go to extraordinary lengths to not seek out help from the world's professionals that are indeed trained to deal with various repairs. We're just trying to figure out what on earth was the thinking process behind that urinal with the rock climbing steps.
Everyone has their moment to shine, and if you look vaguely like Wil Wheaton then this might have been yours. Wil posted yesterday on his Facebook to share that a fan has been cosplaying him at cons this year, as the man himself has not been attending any. This hilarious scoundrel has been going with a full booth setup (complete with fake "discounted" signing fees and full display posters) and taking 'signings' as Wil.
Wil said he was "touched" by the gesture and was generally all for it. We can think of celebrities who might not have taken the imitation in such good humor, so kudos to Wil for rolling with it with such style.
Few things are lower in this life than refusing to make good on a payment for services rendered. It's a pro revenge story like the one we have here however that really warms the heart. Basically, our villain of the story ends up being served a righteous mechanics lien after refusing to make good on the payment that he owed. You really should never mess with IT. When are these people going to learn? If this revenge story got you going, check out another recent pro revenge story that we ran about a mechanic who refused to do their job, so a pro revenge ensued.
It sounds like this guy has been put through the ringer by life. When he went to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community on whether or not he was in the wrong for demanding that his girlfriend sign a financial agreement before she moved in, they all seemed to side with him. Based off her reaction alone, there would seem to be some bright red flags waving around.
We've come across far too many instances of greedy landlords taking advantage of well meaning tenants that are just trying to get by, and not deal with being taken advantage of. So, when we come across a story where a woman genuinely wants to do the morally righteous thing and help out a dad and his kid that just needed a break, it really melts our icy hearts. Naturally, folks in the comments section were very supportive of this woman's decision. It's nice to have those occasional moments where our faith in humanity is temporarily restored.
Some people are true masters of their craft. This guy is clearly in a league of his own when it comes to his pizza making abilities. Seriously, look at him go.
Seriously, the Irish are absolutely not to be underestimated when it comes to just how creative and staggeringly ruthless they can get when it comes to drumming up rare insults directed toward people's fashion choices. But hey, maybe you're someone who enjoys setting yourself up for a proper roasting. It can be genuinely entertaining to see what kinds of insults people will come up with when they're put to the challenge.
My dude, this is clearly not the way. This guy had the audacity to ask his girlfriend to pay him for a ride, just because she would've paid the Uber driver that she'd normally have called, anyways. Um, what happened to helping your partner out and not expecting anything in return? This relationship's showing an alarming sign of going nowhere fast. You can probably imagine what folks had to say about the whole thing in the comments section.
Going into someone's house is like peering into a window into their soul. Well, a house also has windows, so it's more like being in the house of their soul. It's like being in their house. Sometimes normal people have strange habits like sleeping in their clothes or having a couch just for American Girl dolls. Sometimes extremely weird people live exactly how you'd expect. Here are some more weird things people saw in houses and the most disrespectful houseguests people experienced.
It seems like the situational awareness might be lacking a bit for dad here. More often than not you'd think that any parent would want to provide their full support for any kids they have that might need to make a necessary getaway from a situation that made them unsettled. It sounds like the daughter in this scenario was around some people that were making her uncomfortable, but dad didn't think that that warranted a free Uber ride. Let's just say his chosen stance ended up landing him in some hot water. Who knows though? Maybe it was an astronomically expensive ride, and money's tight around the house. The fact that the mom reacted like she did though would hint that dad was acting a bit out of line.
We've all been caught up in impossibly draining fits of boredom while we were muddling through the education system. Some days really did feel like they were never going to end. Well, teachers can get bored too. Sometimes all of this boredom results in moments of complete and utter chaos. Maybe these people's stories about the funniest things that were said and done by their teachers will lead you down your own avenue of nostalgia.
Every now and again Twitter ends up spewing out brilliant little comedy gems that we'd otherwise never have thought twice about. For instance, Twitter user @nathanwpyle took the time to put together some humorous sketches of what it'd look like if you had a dehumidifier that could also water your houseplants.
People in IT get some tall orders, especially when they're trying to help the kind of people who think that smoke is a feature of their device. Not only do they have to contend with people who have no idea what they're doing, they also have to deal with people who think they know what they're doing, like this gentleman. Anyway, here are some IT memes for the people really holding up society as we know it.
For some reason it's almost a little reassuring that we aren't the only ones making dumb financial decisions and horrible business ideas. In a way it's nice that the people who head multi-billion dollar companies can have worse leadership skills than your uncle who keeps trying to get you to "loan" him your savings so he can start a caviar farm.
This isn't the first time that we've come across an employee being given a hard time over not handing out their own hard-earned vacation hours, and we certainly doubt that it'll be the last time. When this employee decided that they weren't comfortable handing over their vacation hours to a coworker who was definitely going through a hard time, they proceeded to get ganged up on by their coworkers. The fact that the boss put up a spreadsheet that showed everyone's vacation hours is pretty shady as well.
We're going to go out on a limb here (/s) and say that the girlfriend is definitely NOT in the wrong here. There is nothing worse than thinking you're at (your own) home totally alone only to be interrupted and caught in an embarrassing position.
I mean c'mon, who doesn't walk around in their birthday suit when they're home alone and there is nobody else around. I mean it would be weird not to, right?
Clearly, she's in her own space doing her own thing and doing something she enjoys. It's unfortunate that her boyfriends surprise went afoul but maybe he'll learn to give his partner a heads up next time when he is bringing his parents home.
But to go as far as being mad at her for his own mistake is just completely out of bounds. That's where he crosses the line.

What's your take on this one?
This pro revenge story is something special. Specifically because this guy and the mechanic were able to sort out their differences when it was all said and done. If this revenge story got you going check out another recent pro revenge story that we ran about an owner who tried to micromanage their employees, fired them on the spot, and then got fired by his very employees.
We're no strangers to the bizarre and downright disrespectful reviews that are left by deceptive customers that tried to stink up the reputations of perfectly respectable establishments. With that being said, this has to be the first time that we've come across someone claiming that they were attacked by "dark energy" within a gym. Naturally, Twitter had some funny feelings about the whole thing.
The reality is that countless fed up employees out there come to a point where they don't end up quitting their jobs, they just go ahead and quit their bosses. It sounds like this employee was dealing with just a bit of an infuriatingly inconsiderate boss. Vacations are instrumental toward a general sense of well being and productivity from employees. Otherwise, the burnout is pretty much inevitable. It sounds like this employee hit their breaking point. The research and malicious compliance that ensued sure is something sweet. For another recent post we ran about malicious compliance, check out this story about an unfair teacher failing half the class, and then how the student settled the score.
Relationships are never perfect. At best they can be a little bit messy. People are complicated, emotions are complex and when you take that to the second power with two individuals things escalate exponentially. We've seen some pretty crazy stories in the past.
It then becomes a bit like the monkey with the typewriter thing... Give enough monkeys enough chances to date other monkeys and you're going to end up with some pretty wild outcomes.
We've all probably experienced (or caused) an absolutely gut-wrenching, heart-breaking end to a relationship. Even if we ourselves knew, deep down, that it was for the best.
Some things aren't made to last...but these poor blokes share that moment that they KNEW it had to end.
Just because someone's further on in their years than you, and aggressively insists that they've seen it all, doesn't for one second guarantee that they actually know what they're talking about. Unfortunately, many of us have fallen prey to exaggerated warnings that we received when younger and impressionable that ended up not being applicable to much of life at all as we get older. Maybe some of these will strike a chord.
