For most people, we have a bed against a wall or two, usually to conserve bedroom space. This Tumblr thread gets into how much of bed placement is actually rooted in fear. Also, it seems like Thomas Jefferson was a weird dude. Tumblr can get down some unique rabbit holes, like the semantics of updog, or these varied Tumblr gems.
Steph Veerman showed how her dad made it his mission to find her lost hamster. It seems like the dad really cared about that hamster, so he got way too into it. For some dads being dads, here are dads responding to being told by their kids that they'd just put olive oil in their cars.
Having a boss not like you because of their own personal biases is its own nightmare, especially if they start making up rules just to sabotage you. Luckily these situations can end with justice, like this woman who got back at her unfair sexist boss or this racist Canadian boss who got deported.
Ok boomer, give the blame game a rest. This Tumblr user went on a passionate rant about how the millennial generation is doing the best they can with the state of the world they live in. That being said, it'd be great to see less of people lumping everyone together based off the generation they were born in. Just cause you're a baby boomer or a millennial, doesn't mean you're going to share the same values as everyone else in that generation.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share those times they witnessed the real world give a spoiled rich kid a brutal reality check. It can be hard for some folks to learn that the world isn't there to answer their every wish. Daddy's money can't buy everything.
Incompetent power-tripping managers can get themselves into some really stupid situations, like this boss who demanded a special contractor be on call 24/7 and ended up with a $10K invoice. In lucky situations, incompetent managers get called on their BS and have to actually deal with the ramifications of their actions, rather than pushing the burden onto their employees.
We're back at it again with a fresh round of clueless liars getting called out for trying to spread their mindless BS into the online world. Ever since the internet's been around, it seems like we've had a hearty supply of people ready to try and weave their web of lies. It's like they've sold themselves on their lies at this point, and the lines between what's true and false are blurred beyond recognition for them.
The idea here was the idea that "if your judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it's stupid." Here are people who were totally misjudged, or misjudged others. Sometimes this stuff sticks with you and still makes you mad. For some similar stories about pettier things, here's stuff adults are still salty about.
It might be time to look for a new place to live if this is gonna become a regular thing. Bob, Carol and Angie have a lot to work through. For some crazy roommate stories, here's times people discovered their roommate was a psycho, and here's a guy who battled his terrible subletter who tried to pin him with damages.
@Mattsurelee makes graphs and charts about some of our more relatable challenges. Whether it's taco Tuesday or talking to your parents on the phone, he's probably broken it down in a visually funny way. For something similar, here are some silly and stupid terrible maps.
