Tumblr Thread: Girls Discover Unequaled Joy At Pumpkin Patch


The moral of this story is clearly for us all to hold onto that one thing in life that provides us unparalleled joy. It could be something as silly as pumpkin spice everything from the local pumpkin farm, or those red cup holiday beverages from Starbucks. Point is, life's just a little bit more joyful when we're able to retain a bit of our childlike wonder. 

For some more gold from Tumblr, check out this thread about the crude king of satire, Skweezy Jibbs.

Text - libraford While out on my adventures the other day, I stopped at the farmers market to get some of their exceptional peach cider and a group of four college age girls all got out of an SUV, dressed somewhat identically (white face mask, gray or white top, dark bottoms, uggs) and headed up to the barn. One of them shouted 'PUMPKIN' and pointed to one of the 90lb pumpkins they had out front and all of them ran to see it up close, taking turns with their phones to get a selfie each. They wer

Text - It is entirely possible that this was their first time visiting a farm. So I got my gallon of cider, some honey, and some fudge and those girls were in the line, each with a pumpkin held about bely height like they were six months pregnant with it. Wel. sort of. Three of them were in line like that and the fourth of them ran up with a package of fudge. "Ladies look! Pumpkin Spice Fudge!" "Oh my god where??" So two of them went back to the fudge and got more fudge, got back in line. Then a

Text - "I didnt think you could DO that!" "Where??? "Girls, we need a cart!" This happened ad hominem until I think they had every single pumpkin spice item in the barn: soap, candies, taffy, cakes, breads, mixes. it filled a cart and was easily $300 worth of pumpkin spice stuff plus their pumpkins and they were so excited to have it all. It was treasure. It was a bounty. They had hunted well and their stores would be stocked for the winter.

4.

Text - And on the one hand I'm rolling my eyes because pumpkin spice is just. cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. But on the other hand. they were so excited. Like they were so excited to see pumpkins in a place that grows pumpkins and not at a grocery store and I suppose the takeaway is: May you find unequaled joy in something as simple as a pumpkin in a place where pumpkins grow. 4,707 notes A

Twitter Thread: The Cold-Blooded Office Shrimp Thief


We like to think our lives are boring and pointless, but sometimes there's office shrimp drama. This underhanded coworker struck a defenseless order of shrimp fried rice and lied through her teeth about it in a way that only a born psychopath could. For more office drama, here's a Karen who threw away an expensive cake before the office fought back.

Road Rager Picks On Motorcycle, Rider Gets Revenge


Some people refuse to keep their tempers in check when they get on the road. This only ever breeds more chaos and stress for everyone else that's just trying to get around. In this case, we have a crazy, angry driver who seemed like he was poised to have a meltdown over something, from the moment he got behind the wheel. Well, he certainly met his match in this motorcycle driver. The motorcyclist cut the road rager zero slack, and proceeded to stall him right into a hopeless puddle of rage.

Text - r/pettyrevenge + Join u/Fluffy-Designer • 1d 21 @1 3 2 2 Small motorbike vs small... *waves pinky finger* I should preface this by saying I was raised by a narcissist and I'm extremely passive-aggressive as a result. Years ago, I bought my first motorbike. A tiny 125CC bike, that with my 82kg body weight, could barely do 90km/h on a flat road and would lose speed going up hills despite me revving as hard as I could. That was my first motorbike and I loved her with my whole heart. At the t

Text - So l'm cruising along on my bike to visit my family and I'm heading up this one notorious hill that is deceptively steep on the incline. It curves around so it's hard to see but gets quite steep over the distance, so l'd hit the bottom of the hill at 90 and be doing 70 at the top. I'd always take the left lane (slow lane in Australia) so that people could overtake safely on my right (the fast lane) if they needed to.

3.

Text - I was the only vehicle on that stretch of road when a man in a very expensive looking car decides to come flying around the curve and almost hit the back of the motorbike. He would've easily been doing 110+ in the 90 speed limit, and instead of moving over and overtaking safely, he decided to slam on his brakes, sit inches from my bike, and beep his horn while screaming at me to get off the road. I move as far over in the left lane as I can without riding into the shoulder but he won't ov

Text - Wait for the lights. The light goes green, I move forward about a meter and... stall the bike. I've seen some shades of red and purple in my life, but never anything like the colour of douchebag's face. He completely LOSES IT. Screaming and swearing and threatening to have me arrested and/or shot. The lady in the car behind him gets out her phone and starts recording him. I ignore him, re-start the bike in a belch of black smoke, and just as the light turns yellow I speed off around the c

Roommate Mistakes Guy For His Ex, Hilarity Ensues

My roommate's costume was basically just an apron, boxers and socks. Not very imaginative, I know. In my roommate's defense though, he was going

Text - For some reason my roommate still had some of his ex- girlfriend's clothes in his closet, which I, the constant clown, ended up trying on. For the record, the items of clothing were: short, heart-shaped pajama pants and an extremely tight camisole top. I was skinny enough to squeeze into them without too much effort, and the fact that I still had Tarzan-long hair (partly due to lockdown, mostly due to style), made my hideous transformation even more hilarious. So, there I was, dressed as

Text - Cut to me waking up to my roommate struggling to pick me up off the couch. He already had one arm under my neck and another arm under my legs like a human forklift. All the lights in the living room were off at the time, but the TV was still on. My roommate's back was towards the TV when I opened my eyes, and from my POV, he looked less human and more like an ominous shadow figure. Not gonna lie, I was still far from sober at that moment. My roommate, on the other hand, was practically on

Text - My roommate stood up and stared at me in silence. For the sake of full disclosure I said out loud "it's me dude". My roommate's reaction was eerie as fuck. His eyes grew really big but the rest of his face stayed completely calm. Without saying anything, he awkwardly zombie-walked to his room. I was to0 hammered to register what had happened but I damn sure knew I had to get out of my "costume" and lock my room before going to bed that night. TL:DR Dressed up as my roommate's ex-girlfrien

Girlfriend Changes Diet, Gets Sleep Recording App, Learns Hard Truth


Man, the expression on this woman's face as she listened to her handy sleep recording app, only to learn the real, potent truth behind why her boyfriend was being "distant." Homie was trying to break free of a rather dank room that'd been infused with the smells of a high fiber diet. Hey, nothing wrong with mixing up the diet, and certainly nothing wrong with passing the gas, when you've got to let it out. This is really just a hilarious snapshot of a situation that must impact plenty of couples out there. This particular couple just decided to get the app that uncovered the ultimate truth.

Months have gone by and I started to sleep better than I ever had before due to the pills and diet change, forgetting all about the app. But one concerning thing was that my boyfriend

WELL LET ME TELL YOU. I Found out why. And I am about to reveal my sad embarrassing truth to you. I have been indiscriminately but vigorously farting the most thunderous claps from the

Tumblr Thread: Modeling For Art Is A Cold Business


This Tumblr thread shines light on the business of modeling for art classes. While it sounds like the pay can be decent, it can also end up being a true test of willpower when it comes to putting up with the cold. Turns out that sitting in studios or garages without any clothes on can be a tad bit chilly. 

Check out some more gold from Tumblr with these totally random Tumblr tidbits of pure golden proportions.

After that, the instructor and students got used to taking turns talking to me, just to make sure I wasn't dozing off. Which was weird, at first, because l'd done two semesters just being a silent prop, and now I was interacting. It gave the class a vibe completely unlike any other l'd modeled for, and it ended up one of my favorite modelin
