Tumblr Post: Humans Get Attached To Anything


Humans are bound to pack bond with just about anything. It's the strangest and most adorable thing. It could be an ugly fruit at the market that looks like it's just hurting for some recognition and love, or maybe you have a Roomba that clearly gets struck by the fear every time a thunderstorm rolls through your area. Check out some more random gems from Tumblr's wandering minds over here.

Text - possessed-radios E broccoli-butler voidspacer My roomba is scared of thunderstorms I was sitting at my desk just a few minutes ago, drawing, and a really loud crack of thunder went off-no power surges or anything, just thunder-and my roomba fled from its dock and started spinning in circles I currently now have an active roomba sitting quietly on my lap

Text - it protectively over to the counter. "If something's in a damaged box I have to get it because I'm afraid no one else will love it," she laughed nervously. Not only will humans pack bond with anything, the empathy level of adolescent girls in particular likely has puppy-saving, world hunger-solving, war-ending powers. I look stu a-dull-glow

Text - I once saw a really bumpy lime at the grocery store, just a real ugly fruit. Later that night my boyfriend & I were driving home from rehearsal at like 11:30pm & passed the grocery store & I stared crying & he said "is it that lime? Do you want to go back and get it?" And I nodded and pulled the car around and bought the lime. your-friendly-neighbohood-black I saw this post once but IT GOT EVEN BETTER Source: voidspacer

Most Bizarre Reasons People Got Dumped


People are full of surprises. You might think that you know someone, and then a few months after you've officially started dating, they end up breaking up with you because you're "not in their league." Yes, that's a response in this wild AskReddit thread about bizarre breakups. Maybe this whole thread will just leave you feeling more jaded and discouraged in pursuing romantic exploits, than ever before. Or, maybe you'll keep trucking on with a heroic stubborn fortitude to find that one.

Girl Discovers Shark On Beach, Throws It Back Into Ocean


Sometimes, you're out walking the beach under lonesome moonlight, when suddenly you see a four foot shark stuck in the sand. From there, most people would probably steer very clear of such a scene, but thus was not the case for this fearless warrior. No, she cooly grabbed that shark and ended up yeeting/tossing him back into the ocean from whence he came. That should be a whole lot of good karma points for her. 

1.

Text - hellenhighwater E queereldritchgalaxyprincess tumblr Follow anonymous asked: Wait are we all ignoring that you apparently threw a shark once? Please tell us more! hellenhighwater answered: My family likes to vacation in Topsail, North Carolina, which is a little barrier island mostly covered in vacation homes. We rent a huge house in their off season, when most people consider it too cold to be at the beach, and we, with our icewater blood, consider it quite pleasantly deserted.

2.

Text - I love going for walks at night, especially when there's a clear sky, so I, age sixteen, would go a few miles up the beach around midnight most nights. One night, while still about a mile from our house, I saw something rolling in the surf. "That's either a plastic bag caught on a log," I thought, “Or a four foot shark." I jogged over. It was not a plastic bag caught on a log. The shark was moving and didn't appear to be hurt, but was caught in water only an inch or so deep, being pushed

3.

Text - I have no idea how he wound up so high on the beach, because it was a very shallow slope. I'd have to carry him a good fifteen or so feet to get him into water deep enough to swim. It was nearly a full moon, so I could sort of see what I was doing. I got a grip on the shark, careful not to squeeze too hard, in case he was hurt, and picked him up. He didn't like that at all. I started walking into the water. Here's a thing I didn't know about sharks: They're pretty damn flexible. I got a c

4.

Text - I'm not proud of what I did. It seemed like the best way to get this shark back in deep enough water and avoid dropping thirty pounds of very bitey animal directly on my own toes. So. I yote the shark with as much force as I could muster. He curved through the air like a thing of beauty, all angry and toothsome in the moonlight, and splashed wonderfully into the deeper waters. I caught a glimpse of fin diving away shortly after. And that's the last I saw of him.

Twitter Thread: Woman Tries To Sell Clothes Dryer, Mega Creep Shows Up


Ugh, there's a moment of shimmering hope in this Twitter thread when you almost think that strange old dude who showed up for the clothes dryer wasn't going to be a piece of garbage, but then boom, he's disgusting. We can only imagine what kind of emotional scarring was left from this terribly creepy encounter. The fact that the dude showed up at her house drunk again (late at night), adds a whole another layer of creepy stalker vibes to this thread.

Text - SaraSuze @tragedythyme A quick reminder for men: Common events for you can turn into really scary situations for women in a snap. Case in point: This week I listed a clothes dryer on the Letgo app. Because it was a dryer, a neutral meeting location was impractical. I needed it taken out of my house. >

Q 35 27664 O 10.2K SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d The next morning, buyer isn't here before husband leaves. I message and tell him not to come. He shows up 15 min later.

Text - SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d He says he will come back with help, I say after 5 would be great. He then asks if he could just see it real quick before coming back and bringing someone over, in case he doesn't want it. So, now I have a decision to make. Q 24 27562 O 9,700 SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d I quickly try to assess my likelihood of danger, as every woman has done so, so many times. It's instinct. First, what's his age? Late 60s, early 70s.

O 31 27573 O 9,650 SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d Walk to the stairs is fine. We're sharing the work. With each stair, I'm feeling more and more of the weight. I'm sweating. Heaving. Pissed.

That sweat looks good on you. Workin thighs like that, I bet your husband is a happy man. C'mon, show me what you got." I was mortifie

Text - SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d So I do what women do, lower my eyes, pretend to laugh a little, start lifting faster. The comments and staring hey worse but I try to block them out. As soon as I am free of the basement I walk straight past him to my phone, wait 5 seconds, and say, "honey, the buyer is here!" O 22 SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d And wanna guess what happened? He left without buying it. Was this guy going murder me? Probably not. But I'm not sure. Am I pissed I had to worry about bein

Text - SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d The point - other than my being pissed and wanting to tell people - is that events like this, even when we come out ok, take an emotional toll. I was scared. He left more and more of the weight on me & watched me squirm. And now I have one more "thing" that I have to worry about. 17 271,225 O 22.3K SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d So men, if you want to be allies, then recognizing that assault is bad is just the minimum. For every sexual assault, there are thousands of

Text - SaraSuze @tragedythyme 5d And obviously, if you ever are in a woman's home alone, whether during a service call or an online sale like this, accept if she's home alone, she's likely done the assessment. Respect her space, don't do gross shit. The basics. Please. O 66 271,529 O 23K SaraSuze @tragedythyme 4d UPDATE: This man just showed up at my house. It's 10pm. Husband answered doorbell, drunk guy mumbles "wrong house" & goes back to his truck. I looked out the window and saw it was him.

Text - SaraSuze @tragedythyme 4d UPDATE 2: called the police, they were VERY helpful & said I'm in a great spot for rotating cars to sit outside as much as they can tomorrow. Going to see about taking my little one & spending the day at a friend's house tomorrow just in case. Thank you to everyone for support. O 33 17588 O 17.8K >

Text - dig-lazarus-dig Guys think we are over exaggerating. There were so many situations that I also had to make an assessment and came to the conclusion I should have a weapon hidden on me just in case. I keep a mini screw driver in my purse. It is an eye glasses screw driver, but it can do a decent amount of damage.

Ominous Signs That Mean Serious Business


Hazards abound, and with them creepy signs that make their message clear. Sure it might seem gauche for a sign to literally tell you "lions eat people and you are people" but the real issue is why that sign needs to be there in the first place. Someone was probably being people way too close to the lions. The abundant threats of the world make it necessary to have spooky signs that are too dang scary.
