Depending on where you are (or even in the more rural places), Starbucks just has an uncanny knack for attracting massive crowds, and its fair share of impatient customers. This video from TikToker @a_problem_like_maria does a terribly effective job at portraying just what kind of busy chaos can ensue a mere 10 minutes after Starbucks has opened. Let's just say that this video should be shown to any Starbucks customer who has been possessed by inconsiderate, downright rude impatience. That's a literal sea of tickets right there.

We are people, and we are the proud glowing, mothers of our own blunders, goofs, mistakes and chaos. Observe as we huff and puff, screaming in agony as we push out these facepalm moments made possible by the brutally stupid. And stand there dumbfounded as we drive home with a brand new wet, crying misfortune Monday, available on alternating Mondays, sometimes.

These elephants seals weren't playing around when it came to going to war over another seal that'd caught both their fancy. The sounds that they're making pretty much stop you in your tracks. The earth must've been rumbling and grumbling underneath all of that gargantuan movement.

We thought our interest in liquid nitrogen would end in high school, but clearly it hasn't, because we're watching grime boil at room temperature while hooting like morons. Will we compare every sentient-looking mass to Venom forever? Yes. Does that make us look like uncultured cretins? You bet your doodle. Does this look wacky nonetheless? Yes also.
Get enough technology-phobic people involved in a profitable industry, and boy you've got yourself a recipe for wasteful shenanigans like this tale of an employee who traveled thousands of miles to fix a printer on Christmas. As long as someone else's incompetence and wastefulness ends in your own impromptu vacation, things aren't too bad. For some more rare pleasantness from the world of IT, here's a wholesome IT bro who fixed a guy's destroyed laptop.

The good news in this rather unnerving scenario is that the hammerhead shark actually wasn't trying to swoop in on the swimmer, but instead the fish/ray that was nearby. On top of that, the guy seems to be completely oblivious to the behemoth that was in his close proximity. Maybe it was that very calm that came through his obliviousness that kept him safe.

Um, this guy has nerves of literal steel. The way he handles losing his literal engine pretty much escapes what one would think is possible in terms of keeping cool under the awful weight of impending physical doom. Clearly, the guy is going to make a great pilot one day.
Every person's house is a castle, and sometimes castles get put under siege. Whether it's the neighbor's horrible kid, a random dude who got in during a party, or a brother-in-law who needs to stay for one night for six months, we've all had moments that made us wonder "why do I ever let people in here." The bar never seems to hit rock bottom when it comes to the worst houseguests people have experienced. Sometimes distance isn't even enough in the case of people's worst neighbors.
Sometimes our lives feel like magnets for goofs, blunders, mistakes and errors. But luckily that's just sometimes. Unless of course you're the cause of all the spilled eggs, forklift crashes and exploded toilets in your life. Then we can't help you. But odds are, life is usually fine except for the odd misfortunate moments that intercept our usually okay lives. If there's ever a chance to look for some perspective it's on non-sequential but semi-regular Misfortune Mondays.

The plant world is bonkers. There are battalions of mint and strawberry bushes waging war against one another with an unnerving level of strategy involved. Naturally, as Tumblr so often does, this particular thread ends up escalating even further into the nightmarish land of the Kudzu vine. It turns out the Kudzu vine is basically a massive, green, alien life force that's here to literally smother everything to death. If you're looking for some more gold from the world of Tumblr check out this recent thread we shared about a tragically misunderstood, nice guy named Vinny.

Magicians and their world of trickery can do a real number on the rational mind's ability to make sense of illusions that simply defy the typical laws of this reality. This magician clearly has to be a vampire that's invulnerable to metal. That's the only explanation.
Kids are dumb as rocks and weird as heck. These people are expected to one day become functioning members of society, but man, junk like this doesn't inspire confidence. Okay, maybe we should cut them a little slack. How much of a chance do you have at understanding reality when everyone in your social world keeps telling you Santa is real? Maybe it's not a mystery as to why kids are so strange and dumb.

Fernando Tatis Jr. sprung for that highlight reel catch like he didn't have to wrestle with gravity itself for a hot sec. Must've felt too good for words to describe. In the MLB if you're lucky you get one or two of those catches in your whole career. Tatis Jr. definitely won't be forgetting that game.
