If you've been spending time with family this summer, it's quite possible that you have heard the occasional corny, cringeworthy, yet wholesome dad joke or two. Or perhaps you're like these Redditors and you've heard these dad jokes constantly. We have to embrace this cheesy sense of humor in our fathers because the reality of the situation is that these jokes are not stopping any time soon. In this case, we might as well try to enjoy the relentless attempts on the part of our fathers to provok…

We've all had a poor experience with fast food at some point. When you get that late-night craving for a burger and fries, the last thing you want is to receive a half-eaten delivery, a major missing ingredient, or uncooked meat. Unfortunately, this is far more common than any of us would like to admit. When it does happen, we hopefully catch it before it's too late… you don't want to discover raw chicken after you bite into your nugget. If you're lucky enough to catch it early, you throw your…

Have you ever seen a sign out in public that caused you to do a double-take and wonder if someone is playing a trick on you? The unique aspect of funny sign errors, when you come across them out in the wild, is that you often will never know what the sign maker's intent was. Perhaps it was an egregious mistake or perhaps they were trying to see if they could get away with a harmless prank. Here's hoping it's the latter because wouldn't we all like to think that humans are more intelligent than…

Who doesn't love a painfully accurate starter pack meme? Sometimes, there is simply no better way to describe a common trope among human beings. You could be describing that kid in high school who asks a question when there are two minutes left of class. You could be describing the entitled parent in your neighborhood who seems to think their kid is the greatest gift to the universe. The key to a quality starter pack meme is a level of perceptiveness regarding the commonalities, the details, an…

When everything goes according to plan, a wedding can become the perfect weekend for anyone attending, but if things go wrong, no one is safe. Part of that is due to our cultural and sociological obsession with the importance of weddings. From the flowers to the venue to the music to the food, there is always going to be something that the bride and groom will obsess over and, because of the random nature of life, not everything is going to be perfect. No matter how many times you may try to re…

Calling fashion an acquired taste is a major understatement when it comes to some of these, shall we say, memorable choices. Look, everyone should be entitled to wear whatever they want whenever they want so long as they are not hurting anyone's feelings in the process. That being said, some trends and looks can be so difficult to look at that one has to wonder who in their right mind thought said trends and looks were good ideas. For regular folks, fashion missteps shouldn't feel that high sta…

This 1965 Ford Mustang may never drive, but it's my passion project

No one ever said being an adult is easy, and while we don't want to admit it, our worst habits can get the better of us sometimes. That's where memes come in to make it all a little less shameful! Now, we often associate pie charts with work, school, and data you come across in a news article that doesn't really make much sense. But what if pie charts were used to reflect, capture, and depict all the cringeworthy and embarrassing realities of what it means to be an adult in the modern age? We'r…

Nothing frustrates people more than someone else's bad parking job. It's the kind of inconvenience that will make a shy, non-confrontational person snap and become a Karen. It also might be the kind of rare inconvenience that makes a Karen justified in their frustrations. Now, as someone who is admittedly a bad driver, I can understand how a poor parking job happens. That being said, I would never take up two parking spots and just leave it like that. My people-pleasing self would take as much…

It can be easy to get fixated on minor flaws, especially if you're a perfectionist. Personally, I tend to be a perfectionist about my own work, but when it comes to design flaws in my apartment, for instance, I usually can get over them. Of course, I have friends and family who spend far more money than they should ensuring that their kitchen renovations are perfect and that their countertops are flawless. For me, I can fixate on writing the perfect email, but I can let go of a small stain that…

Not every person makes a great tourist. In fact, traveling is very much not for everyone. What's the point in going to the Grand Canyon if you don't have a genuine interest in seeing it? Otherwise, you're just ruining the experience for everyone who actually wants to be there. Now, while the experience of traveling with a curmudgeon of a tourist can be excruciating, reading these one-star reviews from these kinds of tourists has proven to be a weirdly cathartic experience. If you need further c…

Father's Day is the day to let your dad be his weird, crazy self. To all the fathers out there who feel like Father's Day is somehow always an afterthought, in truth, it's the opportunity to get away with all the lame jokes and bad habits you have that typically result in nothing more than an eye-roll from your partner and children. It's the one day out of the entire year when they really can't say or do anything about it. It would be a shame to not take advantage of the albeit temporary power…

Another day, another eight hours spent in the office. There are some days when office life is a breeze. You get to hang out with your favorite coworkers, the workload is light, and you might even get to hit up your favorite lunch spot. Ah, the sweet taste of a midday burrito! Not all days are a grind. But then, there are the other days. The days where you're hanging on by a thread, furiously trying to chip away at the looming pile of work on your desk. You find yourself trapped in the endless s…

Keeping up with slang is a slippery slope

Everybody makes mistakes, but some are very hard to fix. Sure, some of you may be thinking that bad hair days are not a big deal. After all, hair grows back. However, it’s not like it grows back overnight. As Phoebe Waller-Bridge declared in the second season of Fleabag , “hair is everything!” We may want to pretend like hair isn’t important or that an unfortunate haircut is forgettable, but whether or not we want to admit it, we carry these moments with us. I vividly remember when my mother ca…

Life is about trying things, but it's also about knowing your limits. In theory, you want to be able to find a good balance between the adventurous part of yourself and your rational side. If you lean too far into your impulses to explore, you could end up driving in the dark on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no cell service (this happened to a fairly impulsive friend of mine). On the other end of the spectrum, though, you don't want to be so stuck in your routine that you…
