As we all know, many grandpas claim to have walked to school uphill both ways, seemingly eschewing the laws of physics. Whether or not it was in the snow is irrelevant for this possible theory, but it involves a hill (obviously) and a system of partial rides.
Nothing like a Tumblr post that's maxed out on the wholesome vibes to warm your heart during these tumultuous times. What starts out as a post about the differences between younger and older generations ends up being a nice little emotional rollercoaster about a very loving grandpa. It's just one of those posts that can make the reader feel good by the end of it.
Ryan Kober's story about a visit to the doc's office with his grandpa and great uncle is just the kind of wholesome throwback we never grow tired of. The quick and hilarious account of what the two old dudes say and do while their hearing aids are being fixed up gave us a good chuckle. Hearing yourself using the bathroom is apparently an exciting thing when you haven't heard it in a while.
Sometimes when one wants to simply pay for something like parking, a good old fashioned fail ensues. Grandpa's series of irritated reactions are pure gold.
This little interaction, real or not, was just what we needed to brighten up the day. Just picturing an elderly man making off with a big old TV, and having his granddaughter try to run cleanup on his forgetfulness is quite hilarious. Maybe he'll accidentally take a car next.
This Tumblr list captures all the bizarre animals that Grandpa brought home over the span of his 67 year marriage to grandma. Clearly Grandpa enjoys a life of unpredictability, which would seem to have translated to the guy showing up at home with all kinds of unexpected, wild animals.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This neighbor was illegally extending his property line into protected land and got nailed for it. Had he been nicer to his neighbors, he may not have been completely screwed, but hey, he flew too close to the sun. Sometimes when people take up too much space, the universe calls on someone to mess with them, like this guy who got petty revenge on a selfish parker with a fake note.
Now this is some high quality weirdness. There he is up there, chillin. His disguise is so good he's almost imperceptible to the naked eye. And honestly, the deception goes on longer than you'd expect.
They say when you get older you just don't care anymore. Gotta say, there's a lot of good evidence to support that here. Seriously, old people absolutely give zero shits. Whether it's just something you wouldn't expect someone in the age range to be wearing, or if it's just downright filthy, here it is. For more shirt humor, here are more foreign t-shirt bloopers.
If you came here to here about brothers who fart on you, sisters who also fart on you, loud grandpa sneezes and abysmally terrific dad jokes, then you came to the right place. It's kinda wholesome, but also kind of realistically stupid and gross. If you're in it for the puns, here are some of tumblr's most punishingly dad-tastic jokes.
As technology surrounds us in its cold, lifeless iron grip, more and more old people are having to come to terms with social media as a part of daily life. They have, by no means mastered it. The people over at r/oldpeoplefacebook are committed to documenting this process, as well as the foibles that come with it.
