Political scientist @alixabeth, asked Twitter users what methods they break out when trying to get around telling someone what they do for a living. The resulting answers were wildly creative, and might just end up helping bail you out of that next teeth-grinding situation of painful small talk.
This bride decided to ask the internet whether she was the asshole for calling her friends out for NOT bringing gifts/cards to her wedding reception. Her question's been met with a whole bunch of, "yes, you are in fact the asshole of this situation." The passive aggressive element definitely adds a layer of spiciness to this one too.
Behold, what was once an obstructive pipe is now a saxophone! Here's public graffiti that either made a statement or just cleverly tried to make the best out of a less-than-pretty concrete landscape. For more art finding its way into everyday life, here are some brilliantly vandalized school textbooks.
At some point in your life, maybe even today, you're gonna be in a situation where you think to yourself "man, I hope no one sees this." If you play your cards right, no one will walk in on you playing with your collection of erotic vintage troll dolls. Sometimes people aren't so lucky with the embarrassing moments they want to keep to themselves.
If you take the trouble to post a wholesome meme, you better ready yourself for the bored and outright mean spirited individuals to deconstruct the meme and make everyone feel bad about themselves. It was already an aggressive estimate for this dude to assume that only 1% of the people in the world find him unattractive. But what else should we do, but take his word for it...
It's one thing to tell your boss you strained your back while lifting something heavy, but it's another to fully explain that you were trying to throw a bowling ball through a second story window "for the glory." Here are people whose injuries were so dumb they just couldn't tell people the truth. Here are more people sharing the dumbest injuries they've ever had.
These folks are absolute masters of their craft of being dumb. This be the land of stupid attempts, lies and general dumbassery. We honestly wish all of these were jokes but given the state of things, we're not so sure. For more of this, here are enough moments of facepalm to give you a stupid stroke.
When this dad was robbed of his well deserved vacation time, he took one sweet and satisfying revenge upon his retirement. That's the way to do it. Go out in a blaze of glory, as your jerk boss mutters to himself uncontrollably, at a loss for what to do. Shouldn't have messed with dad's vacation time!
Twitter User @dizzysinclair, started up a thread on those meals people turn to when the depression hits. The answers ended up being quite relatable to many folks out there. We've got sugary feasts like a big old bag of brown sugar; we've got sleep; we've got peanut butter jars. You name it, it's probably on here. Sometimes a soul sick with sadness just needs to get lost in an abyss of sugar and fried foods.
Insomnia absolutely sucks. Even when you set time aside and do all the right things, here come the thoughts again. Thoughts like "How would I go about constructing the world's largest sandwich" or "I gotta find Jeremy from 7th grade on facebook and tell him he was wrong about how many candy bars away the moon is." Anyway, here are jokes, tweets and thoughts people had about how hard it is to get some quality sleep around here.
