Sometimes what we think of as common knowledge isn't actually as common as we thought. Well, also people can be pretty dumb. In fact, there might be one or two of these that make you go "holy crap I'm a moron." If you still think Alaska is an island there's probably no hope for you but, what the hell, live and learn.
Twitter User @LawrWard, dove down a bit of a hilarious rabbit's hole when he imagined, in detail, what a scenario involving cats taking over Scotland and the U.K. would look like. Suffice to say, people loved the creative silliness, and it went viral. I guess at this point, all we can do is hail our cat overlords.
It's good that parents are interested in the safety of their children, but holy crap this is some whack-ass behavior. This lady was caught leering like a ghoul through the window of her son's friend's house because she hadn't seen him in a few hours. Reminds us of this hyper-controlling helicopter mom who wanted to track her kid at college.
We're not awesome cooks ourselves, but we know how to not accidentally turn a pasta dinner into a bomb. The same can't be said for some of these folks who couldn't stand the heat and should therefore remove themselves from the kitchen. For more cooking related stuff, here's Gordon Ramsey making fun of peoples mediocre cooking.
It's very possible to be popular in high school without also being a huge douche, but those two things aren't always mutually exclusive. Sometimes a popular kid does something that they think they can get away with and it backfires like the dickens. Usually it's some horrible lie or evil thing they they tried, and realize too late that people won't always have their back. Besides that, it's after high school when people really change (or don't).
The warning signs here are doing a great job. Like if you find yourself about to swim and then notice a little ol' ENORMOUS SIGN in all caps that says "THIS RIVER IS CONTAMINATED WITH FECAL BACTERIA" you may find yourself a little dissuaded from jumping in. So good job, terrifying signs of the world. Some of these signs don't even know they're scary, sinister or weird, but that doesn't make them not have a threatening aura.
This inspector of labor got pulled over by a cop who felt like being rude upon ticketing him. Unfortunately that was the cop's second biggest mistake, with his first being not wearing the proper "equipment" which he ended up getting ticketed for. And that final ticket cost was a $2,000 fine!
In a recent trend, people have been sending random texts to their Number Neighbors, i.e. the stranger whose phone number is one digit higher or lower their their own. Mostly it's just people going "who is this don't talk to me" but other people are chill. Here's a guy who got waaaay deeper than you'd expect to get with a stranger. Unrelated, we're huge fans of that first typo right at the top.
It's a tough day when anyone gets a parking ticket before they even have the chance to leave their idling car.
We're all out here trying our best, and sometimes that's not good enough. Sometimes there's a lion on your roof. Sometimes you get trapped in a foreign country because your kid thought your passport was a coloring book. Sometimes a pinecone drops right through your windshield. None of these mishaps are your fault, but they are unfortunate moments and go to show that life is unpredictable.
