Sometimes no amount of context will save you from the random WTF junk people will throw together and put online. There's enough strange stuff out there to fill not only your day with weird, but your week, year and life. You just kind of have to accept that the world is a strange place.
Whether it's because they think haggling is just an excuse to abuse people, or have irrational expectations about the world around them, entitled people will continue to fill the world with their unreasonable demands. Sometimes it's a boss who expects you to work on the weekends for free, other times it could be a total stranger who thinks that it's a reasonable request for you to ship your dog to them so they can pet it. Entitled people just keep making laughable demands. Sometimes entitled people even go full Karen.
Many of us have dreams of finding an old hat or something, taking it on Antiques Roadshow and finding out it was worn by Lincoln when he gave the Gettysburg Address. Not many of us think to treat it like a garage sale and bring in a flatscreen tv that was made during the Obama administration.
Well, well, this quick and informative Tumblr post provides just the kind of knowledge that one would sincerely hope they never have to employ. Yes, we're talking about making an escape from a coffin, if one ever finds themselves in the predicament of being buried alive. Hopefully, it's knowledge that never needs to be used. But here it is anyways. Good old Tumblr pulling through in the weirdest of ways, yet again.
When a relationship sours between the two wrong people, almost nothing can stop the tide of vengeful petty BS that they're capable of putting each other through. Even when it's not over a divorce, people can get amazingly petty for the sake of revenge. It's not surprise that lawyers get some interesting stories out of disputes between people.
Dude is definitely an alien. I don't even care if this was pulled out of thin air, and is a work of pure fiction. The resulting rollercoaster is full of strange, curiosity, and humor. Just picturing a dude out in the world that is this level of clueless, and all the while desperately trying to figure out people's reactions to his behavior, is enough to get the laughs rolling. Seriously, well done. Quora is definitely a strange place. Get more of the weirdness from Quora over here with all these ridiculous questions Quora users asked.
There are many hazards in this world, and appropriately there are many ominous signs that speak the language of fear. You never know it there could be some hidden mine shaft or risk of monkey attack. Whether they're warning of some totally extreme danger or their scary in their own right, it's usually best to pay attention to spooky signs.
There's something about strange and specific mishaps that have the power to put things in perspective. Even if it's a boring day, you can make that day seem slightly better when you realize you probably didn't have paint explode in your living room or a boulder land on your car.
From a really early age, most of us are taught the extreme basics of fire safety. You'd be amazed at how many people think that flooding a room with oxygen or covering a fire with paper towels will put it out. Whether it's due to panic, carelessness or people just not knowing any better, firefighters have to save people from some really stupid situations.
The wild Karen roams its hunting ground of the grocery store, stalking its prey, the customer service representative. The thing some Karens don't understand is that while employees are often beholden to their demands, other customers can be just as rude right back. For more Karen stories, here's a Karen that lied to a restaurant owner's face as well as a toilet paper hoarding Karen.
This Tiger King rabbit hole just keeps on going. It can't stop, won't stop. For anyone who is in the mood for some more Tiger King content after this list, check out some Tiger King memes over here.

Actually looks like a very smooth landing. Pilot's got some mad skills. Looks like nobody was harmed on the landing.
Twitter user @DinosaurDracula left people with their jaws on the floor after opening a wildly corroded can of Chef Boyardee from 1995. The monstrous contents that resulted from the grand reveal did not disappoint. Well, didn't disappoint in that they're just about as cursed as cursed food comes.
People bringing up drama that happened 20 years ago, really poor planning, and getting straight-up scammed by old classmates are just a few of the more awkward things that can happen at a class reunion. Drama and high school go together well. Everyone remembers their school's "incident."
Stranger Things just went real life. Apparently that character Eleven, off the show "Stranger Things", isn't so far off the reality that these declassified CIA documents illustrate. And that would be a very strange reality, indeed. A reality where people can move things across the room using their mind, as long as they're in possession of a special instrument. Trippy. It's like a remote changing the TV, but you can treat the room around you like it's your living TV, or something.
