Insightful Tumblr Thread Breaks Down Meanings Of Different Figures Of Speech

Just a quick reminder that you're great, and the english language actually supports that theory! 

Inanimate Objects that Look Like Other Stuff

Why do we get joy out of seeing things in other things? Is it because we want to imagine we're surrounded by friendly objects? Is it because it's like a fun visual puzzle? Maybe it's because we're just wired to see faces? It's very apparent in these inanimate objects with a whole lot of personality.

Tumblr Thread: Real World Benefits Of The Arts

This fun Tumblr thread spotlights the fact that it actually can pay off to keep that mental warehouse stocked with random bits of knowledge. So learn all the random knowledge that you can! Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread that traces the history of how cats became domesticated.

Brutal Spelling Failures That Make Us Rethink People In General

It's easy to assume that everyone is dumb and as a society we're all completely screwed. And then you look at people's spelling and you're just surprised that we've lasted as long as we have. So buckle down and put on those stupid-resistant goggles, cause here comes some white-hot spelling fails that gave words a hard time.

Lady Claims To Know Apartment Owner, Gets Swiftly Outed

Nothing warms our hearts like seeing a blatant liar get caught up in their web of dumb lies. This lady sounds like she was a real entitled handful from the very start. She claimed to know the apartment owner, issued threats about the employee losing their job, and ultimately got disproven in record time.

Blursed Images That Are Cursed And Blessed

Ah, yes, the wonderful old "blursed image", where cursed meets blessed, and makes us feel uncomfortable while strangely comforted at the same time. You just have to see these blursed images to know what we're talking about. 

Check out these weird cursed images to feel uncomfortable about.

Car Salesman Quits on the Spot When the Owner's Son Tells Him "Do You Know My Last Name"

People are just absolutely determined to hang onto any glimpse of power, aren't they?

This kid thinks that, through no merit or achievement of his own, he is better than his father's employees. Just because he happened to be born into the small-town dealership "royalty". 

He'll be in for a wake-up call if he ever has to go out into the world on his own and make things work for himself. Let's be honest though, that's not very likely to happen. 

Guy is a total a-hole but not as bad as this daycare owner who threatened her employee.

Clever Professor Tricks Cheating Students Into Thinking They’ve Gotten Away With Plagiarism, Then Destroys Their Hopes and Dreams

This teacher must be teaching a class in petty pro-revenge. Everything about the way that he approaches this situation just screams of a wounded ego. At no point in this story does it sound like he is trying to do the right thing, he is out to right the wrongs that he perceives have been done against him. 

That's what makes this whole scenario a little bit petty. He should have just reported it to the department and let the consequences of their actions take their course. But his approach certainly does have more style.

Guy Has Most Awkward Elevator Ride Ever With His Family After An Obvious One Night Stand

I'm really not even sure how I would react in this situation. There's nothing worse than having to confront your dear sweet-old grand mother after a debaucherous night of fun. The biggest part of the FU in this situation was probably assuming that your older relatives wouldn't be up and starting their day at the crack of dawn. No surprise that they're already partway through their day when you decide to get out of bed. 

Nothing better than an awkward family encounter to cap off a wedding.

Sister-In-Law Claims She "Lost" $2K Camera At Beach, Refuses to Replace It

Am I the only one here who immediately has red flags raising about the camera being "lost"? I'd be willing to wager a handsome sum that it's sitting in a pawn shop somewhere and the funds are in the sister-in-law's pocket... or have already been contributed towards one kind of habit or another. 

If it has actually been lost then at the very least the sister in law needs to be held accountable for the fact that she lost someone else's valuable property (that they did not consent to her taking).

Also, what's with the spouses in these stories never sticking up for their partner?

Uncle Cancels His Niece's College Fund After He Discovers She Has Been Targeting Him With Cruel Pranks

Life is filled with hard lessons and this definitely is going to be one for this girl. It sounds like she had a very close relationship with her father's brother, to the point that he was willing to fund her college tuition. To do what she has done to someone who you have a close and trusting relationship with is a cruel betrayal.

Her behaviour here is absolutely out of line and, quite frankly, a little twisted. She deserves to learn this painful lesson for her mistakes. Hopefully she can use the time she was using to pull the pranks to get a scholarship.

Satisfying Images of Aesthetically Pleasing Perfection

There's a certain feeling you get when something is stacked just right or matches up oh so perfectly. Maybe it's because the world is chaotic and confusing and we find pleasure in some semblance of order. Maybe it's just some intangible aesthetically pleasing thing to see such clean lines in real life. Either way it makes people feel satisfied to see images of graceful perfection. And on the other end, oh man is it blood-boiling and frustrating to see imperfect things.

Abandoned Machines of Death and Destruction That Are Kinda Cool

This collection of abandoned killing machines is a pretty fascinating scroll. If you have any interest in military machinery then take a gander.

It's incredible that these advanced pieces of machinery could end up as a decorative footnote to the force of nature. These once pinnacles of technology are now collecting rust in a field somewhere. Beautiful!

Company Cuts Employee's Salary In Half, Business Proceeds To Perish

When it's all said and done we're just grateful that the good players in this gnarly tale were able to find their greener pastures. You hate to see a company get greedy and screw over people on the money that they absolutely deserve. It's honestly surreal that this company had the audacity to cut the employee's salary in half like they did. 

Operating Errors Achieved By People Who Shouldn't Be Driving Anything

Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't the best idea to let these people be solely responsible for a motorized object. You know? Maybe, just maybe, we should have some types for licensing systems in place to keep things like this from happening. 

Nothing like having an idiot behind the wheel of a 2-ton hunk of metal that is being propelled by thousands of tiny explosions and screaming along at 100 mph.

New Director Wants Meetings First Thing in the Morning, Doesn't Listen to Line Manager and Delays Production

When you're a new manager in a team, no matter what size, it's always best to spend a given length of time observing before making changes. That length of time can vary wildly depending on the complexity and scale of the operation but, at the very least, it's best to give it a few weeks.

It gives you time to learn from experienced employees (who definitely know more than you do) and can keep you from making too many significant mistakes. 

Kudos to this line manager for just going with it when outvoted and thereby proving her point and showing the new director that she knew better.

Entitled Brother Thinks His Kid Is the Exception to a “Child-Free” Wedding Invite

There's nothing worse than someone who thinks that they are the exception to every rule. If anyone has siblings like this or families who enable this type of behaviour then you have my sympathies. This type of behaviour is only possible when the people around them allow it to persist. 

Paul sounds like he is a right piece of work and him and his wife, possibly the entire family, are entirely delusional. It is completely out of expectation to think that you would be the only exception for a child-free invitation. Time for a reality check. If there's one thing for certain it's that weddings bring out the family drama.

Simple Questions That Reveal A Lot About People

Asking questions is how we get to know each other, and some totally innocuous questions have a way of revealing more about people than you'd think. Sometimes they're good for revealing red flags during job interviews or getting to the bottom of an awkward and bad first date. Also, definitely make sure anyone in your social circle is on the right side of the shopping cart theory of morality.

Entitled Neighbor Refuses To Move Car, Righteous Towing Ensues

This isn't the first time we've encountered an entitled neighbor who refused to move their car out of a spot that it never should've been in. Honestly, we doubt it'll be the last time. You just never know if you're going to end up living next to a wildly unreasonable, and grossly entitled neighbor who refuses to play nice and get along. If this tale of petty revenge on a nasty neighbor got you going, check out another recent petty revenge story we ran about some nasty neighbors that vanquished a man's tomatoes, so he unleashed an ants army. 

Entitled People With Their Childish Demands

Nothing stirs the blood and busts out a wicked riff on the heartstrings quite like people who make insane demands of people while displaying absolutely no self reflection. Entitled people and their absurd audacity will grift strangers, talk mad trash and do it all as if they're still in the right. It's kind of incredible.

Guy Gets Savage Revenge on Cheating Ex-Girlfriend With Soul-Crushing Prank, Destroys Her New Relationship

This guy made his cheating ex-girlfriend and her new lover question their entire reality with the psychological warfare that he waged upon them. Imagine being so psyched out by these random noises that you're hearing that you start to wonder about your own sanity. I can only imagine it's like when your smoke detector gets a low battery and starts "chirping" in the middle of the night at maddening intervals that would be enough to make a captured spy give up everything they knew. 

This has to be one of the most intense revenge stories of the year and is an absolute goldie of a read.

People's Worst Nightmare Neighbor Conflict Stories

You just never know who you might end up living next to. Moving into a new place is a stressful enough process as it is, but when you factor in the distinct possibility that you could end up living next to a monster who literally makes a mission out of destroying your garden's tomatoes, or being as loud as possible despite your complaints....the stress sweats can start. This AskReddit thread has people sharing the very worst of their nightmare neighbor conflict stories. 

Tumblr Goes Mythological Scientist Mode On Dragons

Just in case you didn't know, this enlightening Tumblr thread is here to fill you in on why a flamethrower is by no means a precision weapon. Also, apparently dragons rock eyes on the sides of their heads because they place more value on their field of view than they do on their depth perception. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this post where Tumblr uncovers the nine different kinds of movie posters. 

Twitter Thread: Distinguished Felines Cosplay Lord Of The Rings

Only the most distinguished of all felines could even attempt to live up to the tremendous roles of Frodo and Sam, two dynamite characters from one of our all time favorite series, Lord of The Rings. As you will see when you momentarily scroll down, this is cosplay done right! Done with class, done with the utmost respect and appreciation for the original masterpiece. 

We love getting creative with our cats, they don't always love it back, but we have a good time. These hungry hobbits have not been fed second lunch yet, we recommend steering clear of them and sneakily filling up their bowls so they don't even have a chance to meow in discomfort. More silly cat cosplay twitter threads like this one, please!

Insane Neighbor Karen Leaves Note That Festive Gargoyle Decoration is "Not Appropriate", Revenge Ensues

The Legendary battle of Frank the Christmas Gargoyle and the neighborhood Karen. A tale that will pass on into Christmas tradition. 

This neighborhood Karen forgot the true meaning of Christmas when she waged war upon the unsuspecting forces of the Christmas Gargoyle and Hippopotamus. Little did she know that a little Christmas miracle would bring cheer to all and ultimately lead her to have a change of heart in the face of true Christmas spirit and human kindness.

They didn't necessarily join hands and sing at the end of this story but joy and laughter were had by all. Except for Karen.

The Wildest Junk People Saw Other Drivers Do While Driving

For some reason, a lot of people see driving as a secondary activity to eating a bowl of Chex or doing their hair. Here are some of the irresponsible and straight up absurd junk truckers and other drivers have spotted their fellow drivers doing behind the wheel. It's as if their windshield is just a tv screen to them or something. So watch out for these morons and other incompetent drivers who should be banned from the road.

Entitled Wife Threatens to Show Up In Sweatpants to Thwart In-Laws Christmas Dress Code

If this is all you have to worry about then you must be doing pretty good. It just seems like such an odd hill to die on. Dressing up for Christmas Day is a pretty normal tradition as far as these things go. It sounds like this daughter-in-law just wants to make her mother-in-law's life more needlessly difficult. 

No wonder they don't like her all that much.

UNhinGED huSbAND wAtcheS as BiRd dEStroys wiFe's MeaL, RECorDS Entire EveNt

In bird culture, this is considered to be a dick move...

I just cannot possibly understand how this wife is able to put up with her husband's entitled, immature antics. It's no wonder that she hasn't finalized the divorce papers already. 

She's probably cheating on him with the bird... as commenters have already suggested. 

This is truly tragic. Read on at your own risk. 

On a completely unrelated note. Check out these wholesome memes.

Spelling Fails That Had Us Shaking In Our Boats

It's not like we expect everyone to have a doctorate in English. At the same time there are waaaaay too many people out there saying how they love the smell of their boyfriend's new colon, or that they're trying to get into essential oils and incest. All we're saying is that knowing your way around a word or two can prevent awkward moments such as these spelling fails that gave words a hard time.

Husband Delaying Wife's Day By Playing Games on Phone in Bathroom, Gets Banished

This guy just sounds like he could use a hearty dose of fiber. That or a shot of espresso before going into the restroom to camp out for an hour. 

At any rate... He is definitely the a-hole in this situation. There is no reason that he can't go camp out in the other bathroom instead. As some commenters have suggested it would be as simple as getting a portable heater and putting it on a timer to go off 30 minutes before he gets up. Then he can still be warm and do whatever it is that he is doing in there in peace. 

Sounds like the wife has tried to be pretty reasonable here.
