One Twitter user shared her hilarious patriotism fail from many years ago. Basically, the story goes that the user, Kate, who goes by the handle @mcmansionh*** , had one sacred duty as a scout. All she had to do was fold an American flag as gently and carefully as possible. She and the other scouts viewed this as a very sacred honor …but she kept accidentally messing up each time she tried her hand at flag folding ! Folks in the comments really resonated with this tale. Apparently around this t…

One of the first rules of storytelling is that the story should have a beginning, middle and end - except on r/Pointlessstories, where people tell their most oddball anecdotes . This subreddit is perfect for people who have a story to tell, but they don't necessarily have anything they want to turn into a big deal. It's just little tidbits of people's lives . We've scoured the sub for the funniest , wackiest, and most unhinged things people wrote about. Some are just a paragraph, while others a…

Some people want everything for nothing, and you'd better not dare stand in the way of that ideal. These entitled people, Karens, and choosing beggars, wanted the world to be handed to them on a silver platter. Their shared ultimate superpower of narcissism is fueled by an undying sense of entitlement and a complete and utter lack of even a shred of self-awareness. Keep reading for this hearty helping of fresh trending entitled people; consider yourself lucky if you don't run into them in real…

Christmas isn't for everyone; for every holiday spirit spreader out there who is spreading Christmas cheer, there are at least thirty of us who would much rather that the whole thing went away. It's not that I don't like food or receiving presents, I'm even lucky enough to have a family that I enjoy being around, but years of working retail over the holidays have spoiled the whole dammed thing for me. Years of crowding, intolerant, inconsiderate people clamoring for the best deal possible — bom…

We're not always going to succeed at everything we do in life, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. There is a certain purpose and dignity in the attempt itself that is meaningful in and of itself. At least, that's how it might have been before the internet. Now, every mistake you make is immortalized for eternity somewhere online. Every video of that stupid thing you did, every hot-take that you Tweeted out in 2012, it's all up there in the cloud somewhere (aka sitting on a server in a room…

When you're in a committed long-term relationship, it's always advisable to make large, life-changing decisions as a team: This is something we would expect would go without needing to be said. Alas, wherever there are people making decisions, there is always going to be one person making one so utterly stupid you might not have even considered it to be an option in the first place. Take this idiot husband, for example; he thought it would be a clever idea to purchase a house without his real e…

Coffee is love, coffee is life. For a beverage that is so acidic and low-key tasteless on its own, it's great with some cream or sugar. And it's clearly addicting, because many people drink it every single day. I, too, will continue to drink cold brew (humankind's best invention, don't @ me) every single day . Although there are many failed ways to drink coffee, a few of these are quite innovative , too, like the restaurant who gives out coffee ice cubes in lieu of iced coffee . But TBH, I woul…

Twitter is a fun, hilarious, and completely one of a kind website to be on. Every day, people write the most unhinged tweets you've ever heard in order to try and be Twitter's “person of the day." It seems like each day, someone will write an innocuous tweet, which someone else will reply to, and will completely dunk on them. Then a bajillion people like the response tweet, and that's the recipe for a ratio.

One DIY-er had a super good idea…until the internet pointed out to him why it was actually crazy disastrous .

Do you hear the ancestral lifestyle calling?

Genetic code just got lazy and did a copy/paste on their faces

“Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?” asked comedian Eric Andre. After he uttered the question on a 2016 episode of his show, a meme was born. And on this internet, there are plenty of hilarious opinions that people are excited to share with everyone.

Trying to get to the airport for a flight is truly one of the most stressful things in the world. No matter how well you plan, how far in advance or how organized you try to be, issues will arise. This poster on Imgur shared their outrageous experience with one of the worst customer service chat bots ever, like maybe in the history of chat bots. It's genuinely cringeworthy to see the repeated attempts of this poor person to get some help!

Online shopping is really a “best of times/worst of times” situation. You have to be really, really careful about where you order from.
