Tree Cutter Straddles Himself To Safety


There are times when all we can do is look around at the potential tree-chopping catastrophe we've just avoided and think to ourselves, "yeah I meant to do that." If not to save face after making a risky decision, but to just help us sleep at night. This guy could've had a far worse day than he did, but it just so happens he's good at balancing.

Rottweiler Picks Fight With German Shepard, German Shepard Silently Checks Rottweiler


This German Shepard didn't even need to let out a bark to make their commanding presence known. Seriously. Probably a situation where the German Shepard was all bite and no bark. Thank goodness things didn't escalate any further. 

Norwegian Guy Steals Mayor's Moment By Cutting Ribbon


This guy couldn't be bothered to respect the mayor's time to shine. I just wonder what the conversation was like after that ribbon was cut. Couldn't have gone down too smooth. 

Foreman's A Stickler About Punctuality, Employee Wastes An Hour Of Their Time


So, apparently the best course of action when you find yourself confronting the unfortunate reality that is having a foreman who is a completely helpless stickler with punctuality, is to quit and waste an hour of their time in the process. Clearly, this employee hit their breaking point. What ensued was definitely a deeply satisfying act of petty revenge. For another recent tale of revenge check out the time that a truck vandalized a mailbox, so a bunch of engineering students crafted a superhero mailbox.

Cursed and Weird Images From The Abyss of The Internet


Sometimes, we don't know what we're in the mood for. We don't know if we want to laugh, cry, or get angry. But that's okay, because being creeped out is just something that happens on it own, especially in the case of cursed images to feel weird about. So tuck into some strange and cursed images of internet weirdness and bask in the no-context freakishness of the world at large.

Entitled Dad Leaves Kids On Plane With Stranger, Ends Up Wholesomely


You can only hope the person you abandon your kids with is someone with professional childcare experience. While it's a not-so-noble dad move to foist the burden of your children onto a stranger, it's something else entirely to get furious around firearms, like this entitled dad who was furious his son needed permission to hold a gun. For more airplane shenanigans, here's a flight attendant's wildest stories.

The Dumbest Business Ideas People Have Seen


We all have brilliant ideas that are dumb upon review. We've all had dreams of starting a restaurant that only sells soup in fishbowls or whatever. Some of us just go ahead and spend a few hundred grand on that idea before realizing that it was stupid. Also, how do people keep thinking pyramid schemes are a good idea? At least there's something to be gleaned from learning about horrible but common financial decisions that people make.

Choosing Beggar Agrees On Price, Tries To Change It, Reality Check Ensues


Oh boy, these wildly entitled choosing beggars just keep coming right on out of the woodwork. It sounds like this choosy beggar was carrying themselves in such a way where it was only a matter of time before they got the necessary reality check. Maybe they should go and have a conversation with their manager about how 17 bucks for 10 hours of work could actually be a legitimate transaction. Check out some more entitled people who made the world a less friendly place over here.

Cheaters Describe Why They Cheated In The First Place


All the tea is being spilled in this AskReddit thread that has cheaters describing the various reasons that they decided to cheat in the first place. Cheating on a partner is one of the lowest things a person can do. Honestly, these are just plain old brutal. Hopefully they can serve as some motivation for other folks out there to never cross that line. 

People's Awkward Moments Of Facepalming Cringitude


They say that we only use 10% percent of our brainpower at any given time. The reality of this is that we totally can use 100% of our brain at once, but it's called "having a stroke." Long story short, it's safer to use less brain at any given time. And these folks, with their goofs, blunders and facepalm moments, were about as safe as it gets. For some straight up dumbness, here are facepalm moments made possible by the brutally stupid.

Tumblr Thread: Scientists Have Terrific Superstitions In The Lab


We're all superstitious people to some extent. One would assume that scientist and lab techs, whose jobs depend on objectivity and scientific rigor, would be the most rational at work. But nah, everyone's got their good luck charms. Be they Taiwanese snack foods or happy meal toys, these are the things that keep the machines running, sort of. For some more fun science junk, here's the sciences judged on lickability and a tumblr thread on why frogs have got weird bones.

Mom Makes Husband Go Alone With Kids To Disneyland, Asks If She's A Jerk


The thing about telling someone what they're going to be doing without taking any input at all is that it has a tendency to make that person that much more upset. Like, honestly, what did mom expect was going to happen in this whole scenario? Clearly, things were bound to pretty much shake out one way, and one way only. 

Tumblr Thread: Humans Are Space Orcs


We absolutely love it when this Tumblr thread makes its rounds. The whole concept is pretty dang fascinating. Basically, humans could very well be looked upon with nothing short of horrified fascination by an alien race, strictly because we do things like harm our planet. If you got a kick out this Tumblr story, check out another Tumblr thread about how the yarn community is filled with fiery drama.

Teen Calls Aunt Out At Dinner For Having Favorite Kid


It sounds like the Aunt was in the wrong on this one. Basically, the aunt was carrying out just the kind of behavior that ended up being very embarrassing for herself. Some people respond better to the swift and brutal reality checks than others. Plus, it sounds like this environment/timing might've been a bit dicey. With all of that being said, folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement that the aunt getting called out was completely called for. 

Gordon Ramsay Trains And Cooks With Marines


Big shout out to the cameraman that had to tag along for this wild ride with Gordon Ramsay. He crushed it.

Resident Runs For HOA Board on Platform of "Doing The Bare Minimum," Wins


An HOA or Homeowner's Association can either be a minor inconvenience or it can be costly dictatorship, depending on who's on the board. People have to deal with nightmare HOAs where they get fined for having visible garbage bins.Some people defeated the Queen Karen of their own HOA. And others just looked forloopholes in the HOA's monthly fees. The bureaucracy never ends.

Obnoxious and Awkward Things Done By American Tourists


There's a stereotype about American tourists being obnoxious. It's easy to picture us waddling around, touching artifacts and complaining about "how run down this ancient castle looks." Lucky for us, sort of, a few other big and rich countries are also known for having horribly entitled tourists. Of course it's bad that there's more entitlement in the world, but it's at least better to not be the only ones that everyone completely disdains. But here are some really dumb and obnoxious things American tourists said and did. And here are some dumb complaints people had for their travel agency as well as some weird habits in the U.S.

Tweets and Tumblr Gems To Make The Day More Tolerable


For the most part we're all bored, boring people. And as turgid lumps of wasted space, we need some funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later. That way we can trick other boring people into wanting to be near us for some amount of time. Were we always this repulsive and dull? Honestly it's hard to remember. But what is easy to remember are tumblr gems and funny tweets to cackle at.

Supervisor Says They'll Be Unreachable On Vacation, Fails To Give Employee Important Info


The thing about taking those much needed vacations and potentially even dipping your toes in the warm waters of some faraway paradise is that you're banking on your work life not eclipsing the dreamy sunsets of whatever destination you've chosen. By the sound of it this company was put in a bit of a tight spot because the supervisor could've done a more effective job at leaving all the important info that they needed to leave, with the company, before they dipped out.

Wild Things People Have Seen The World's Rich Folks Ask For


The road of acquiring more and more wealth can give way to all kinds of curveballs. There's something about having tons of money and then developing quite the strange array of personal tastes. Maybe it's because that bank account is gleaming with such a heavenly glow that a person with enough wealth just can't be bothered to play by the rest of the world's series of rules -- unspoken and spoken. Naturally, that results in some rather ridiculous scenarios. 

Truck Vandalizes Mailbox, Engineering Students Craft Superhero Mailbox


There are far too many examples of senseless, outright ruthless individuals going out of their way to unleash havoc on perfectly peaceful mailboxes. Seriously, it ain't easy being a mailbox in this world. Fortunately, there are also a decent number of ingenious individuals that are more than ready to use their engineering brainpower to craft invincible mailboxes. If you got a kick out of this pro revenge story, check out this pro revenge story where a dad crafted an invincible mailbox amidst a road rager's maddening antics.

Homeowner Gets Fed Up With HOA Complaints, Malicious Compliance Ensues


This isn't the first time that we've read about the HOA driving an otherwise completely peaceful homeowner just a little bit crazy. Unfortunately, the HOA seems to attract all kinds of Karens and petty tyrants that get caught up in wielding whatever "power" they have. So, it's nice enough to see someone successfully waste the HOA's time. I wonder just how much of that time that they'll be able to successfully end up wasting. For another tale of malicious compliance check out the time that a customer asked a restaurant to cut a burrito in half, and then how the restaurant maliciously complied.

Times People Were Reckless Animals In Cars


Seriously, it's a wonder that some people are able to get their licenses. The fact that we have to share a road with these kinds of wildly clueless folks is just a little bit unsettling. And seriously, what's with people just not using bungee cords to tie their stuff down? Nope, better to take the life-threatening route like the mind titans in this gallery. 

Spelling Fails That Made Words Harder Than They Had To Be


Maybe it's the state of public schools. Maybe it's parenting. Maybe no one cares. Maybe reading books is just lame. Either way, we see a whole lot of spelling fails out there that don't need to be out there. No one wants to be a stickler about this kind of thing, but when you see your third person of the day say talk about how they're taking things for granite and asking you to be more pacific, it wears you down. Here are some more regrettable and dumb spelling fails.

Husband Disregards Wife's Request For Him To Leave Lasagna Alone


As far as reasonable requests go, this woman's request for her husband to leave a lasagna alone that was specially prepared for a birthday seems completely reasonable. However, it sounds like her husband couldn't be bothered to take her request seriously. So, a pretty expectable drama ensues. I mean, what did he think was going to happen? And then he goes ahead with the cold shoulder in response to her reaction? Yikes.

Entitled Dad Is Furious His Son Needs Permission To Hold Gun


It is definitely an interesting reversal for a angry parent to demand that their kid be allowed to hold a gun without their permission. But hey, the inner workings of entitled people are a beautiful, horrible mystery. The thing is he was gonna let him hold the thing anyway. The dad just made things...tense. For another tale of wild parental entitlement, here are some entitled parents who lost it over a parking spot and got towed.

Women Dish On The Things Men Do That Aren't Attractive At All


It's this kind of AskReddit thread that can ultimately be incredibly helpful for anyone out there who is on the path of self-improvement. Unfortunately, far too many of us can end up unknowingly putting out all kinds of terribly toxic behavior that's extra unbecoming just because the behavior is carried out from a place of ignorance, and even being conditioned by an environment that created the feeling that legitimately messed up behavior isn't completely messed up. Hopefully none of these ring a bell, but hey, it's never too late to make a change. 

Oblivious People Who Completely Missed The Joke


It's okay to completely lack a sense of humor as long as you don't suck up the fun for anyone else. These clueless people who missed the joke by miles have a way of making these jokes as funny as the three stooges rotting away in an old folks home, every day forgetting bigger pieces of who they are. So thanks guys. Thanks for taking everything completely literally, youfun-stealing dullards who didn't get the joke.

The Dumbest Utterances People Have Heard


We shouldn't stress ourselves out by trying to sound brilliant all the time, but we also need to understand the dangers of not thinking about anything we say. Because people say some really dumb things. Every day, we reveal our mind-blowing ignorance by asking if cows lay eggs and expressing genuine concern that the island of Alaska will tip over. So be smart about it or else you too will join the ranks of the dumbest things people have ever heard. Don't become the source of someone else's facepalm moments.
