Cops Unknowingly Pull Over State Attorney
Flashback to the time that State Attorney Aramis Ayala was pulled over by the Orlando Police, and proceeded to show them what actual power looks like. The cop's reaction when he was asked for his card was priceless. That and the moment he spews something off about her windows being "really dark."

Client Demands Unblocked Spam Filter, Regrets His Decision
There's nothing quite like that sweet "I told you so feeling" you get when a customer gets exactly what they wanted and learns that they screwed up. It feels good to drink in the visceral feeling of an outsmarted horrible customer. Customers are often wrong, but too few of us don't give a rip, so this kind of interaction is as rare as it is sweet.

Pro Stock-Pickers Vs. Astrologist, Beauty Bloggers, And Cows
Twitter user @RobinWigg shared a viral thread about one very bizarre Norwegian TV program. We're talking about a situation where pro stock-pickers were pitted against an astrologist, beauty bloggers, and literal defecating cows. If that isn't the peak of entertainment I don't know what is? Naturally, the professionals were unsettled by their competition. Can't imagine how unsettled they were when they learned that Gullros was a total stock-picking wizard.

Funny and Insightful Things Said by Kids
@livefromsnacktime collects the funny and strange things adults overhear kids say. Kids can be stupid and weird but every once in a while they fall backwards into some insightful and accidentally funny comments. When kids aren't having hilariously irrational meltdowns, they're commenting on life goals and pancakes.

Movie Elements That Aren't Like That In Real Life
We get it. Filmmakers use unrealistic storytelling methods in order to convey the most amount of information to the viewer in as efficient a way as possible. It would be boring to watch Joe Pesci try to find parking for twenty minutes. That doesn't mean that some of these shortcuts go unnoticed, like how this tumblr thread uncovers the very limited types of movie posters.

Babysitter "Help Wanted" Ad Is Absolute Insanity
Shoutout to the folks at The Chive for discovering the goldmine of ridiculous human behavior that runs rife throughout this "help wanted" ad for a babysitter. Twitter user @honeystaysuper, unearthed just the kind of "help wanted" ad that leaves the rest of the world speechless. I don't even know where to start with this one. The attention to detail is honestly admirable. Nothing seems to be overlooked in terms of what constitutes a suitable babysitter.

Entitled Influencer Demands Free Stuff In Exchange for Exposure, Doesn't Get It
This absolute peach of a person simultaneously asks for free stuff while then bragging that they make way more money. So what they're saying is they totally could afford this person's stuff but they're just choosing to be a jerk about it. Sometimes when entitled jerks demand free art, they get satisfyingly trolled. Sometimes entitled people need to take their business elsewhere.

Irrational Reasons Toddlers Had Total Meltdowns
There are no limits to what warrants a hysterical breakdown from a toddler. Rationality in the mind of a toddler is a terribly fleeting thing. We can't verify whether these captions are accurate depictions of what brought on the waterworks, but we'd bet they're not too far off the mark.

A Colorado Sheriff's Department has rendered many brains scrambled after their strange description of a boulder. This is apparently no ordinary boulder. No, we're dealing with a boulder that escapes simple and definite descriptions. This boulder is actually a large boulder that is the size of a small boulder. Picture that real quick! Yeah, what's happening?

Infuriating Pet Peeves People Wish Were Illegal
Everyone's got that one pet peeve that sets them off like none other. It could be trying to coexist around people who refuse to acknowledge that many people don't like to exchange words before chugging their first cup of coffee. Or maybe you feel like it should be a law that you don't need to get up to tackle the day until your dog is ready to do so as well. Either way, you're bound to connect deeply with some of these.

Unbelievably Dumb Tattoo Translation Fails
Someone on AskReddit asked for people that speak Japanese and/or Chinese to share the very worst (or best...) of the tattoo translation fails that they've seen. These might be some of our favorite kinds of fails. Tattoo artists can be brutal when it comes to surprising people with tattoos that definitely don't translate to what people think they do.

Twitter Thread on Random Brackets Is a Really Good Idea
If you're crap at conversation, nothing gets people involved and passionate quite like a semi-tongue-in-cheek debate on what kind of bird is best. Petty arguments are fantastic. Twitter user christineexists explained this admittedly great argument/party and apparently other people do it too.

Dumb Design Fails That Were Someone's One Job
People are asked to make stuff all the time, and sometimes there's more stress that something gets done than if it gets done well. That can lead to some pretty dumb design fails that didn't go as planned. Every day someone does a bad job, and every day there are more design failures that didn't work out.

Deaf Kids Learn About Farts
This teacher's viral story about teaching deaf kids how farts work is a hilariously wholesome little tale. Taking a moment and picturing the look of shock and the confusion thereafter on these kids faces as they learn about the wild world of farts is just golden.

Marvel Movies Ranked By If There Are Trains In Them
If you asked us whether we expected someone to go ahead and rank the Marvel movies by if there are any trains in them, we'd have said, no way. But here we are. Good old Tumblr never lets us down when it comes to surprising us with hyper-focused posts on various subject matters. We'll never look at Marvel movies the same.

Gullible Entitled Jerk Gets Trolled Demanding Free Art
Rudeness and a complete lack of self reflection go hand in hand. This gullible dude really wanted some free art, but like all the other demanding people who want artists to work for free, got trolled. There's some freakish entitlement going around, like this mom who lashed out at her babysitter for getting a better job.

People Who Did Not Give A Rip
There are point in our life when we see some BS, like these breaking point moments of retail workers. Typically we tolerate this kind of behavior and our social graces prevail so we don't get to act on spiteful impulse. These people said "screw that" did and did that shit anyway.

Tumblr Users Trade Unconfirmed Facts About Soda And Carrier Pigeons
Nothing fills our hearts with joy and appreciation like a couple Tumblr users swapping knowledge about the history of soda and carrier pigeons in a totally random Tumblr thread. But hey, that's what Tumblr is all about. Can't say that we knew that drinking Pepsi cold and Coke warm would result in them tasting the same. Is that real life?

Rude Entitled Student Explodes When Denied Classmate's Project
There's nothing quite like the desperation of someone who hasn't prepared for an assignment. In this case they wanted to have a near stranger's project, like just given to them. Entitlement can really be something else. Something similar happened when this entitled college slacker demanded a classmate's notes and got denied.

This customer left a poor review for this mechanic without letting all the facts out. The owner responded with some pretty critical information that put the reviewer in a very different light.
