Play stupid games… Win stupid prizes. Every now and then, you run into someone who thinks they are above the rules of society. These individuals think they are so clever and have it all figured out when they are really just ignorant of the fact that some rules are there for a reason. A firefighter encountered one of these individuals at the local grocery store, where their friend was the general manager. The individual in question was a gentleman who felt that they were above any sort of specia…

One of the few benefits of being a renter is that you are not responsible for maintaining a property's upkeep. However, that is simultaneously a huge downside if you have a chintzy landlord. If your unskilled landlord is a cheap, do-it-yourself type, you might find yourself constantly smelling methane gas, putting putty over leaks, and watching him paint over holes in the wall.

Nosy neighbors always have too much time on their hands to start pointless feuds. In this case, Karen not only ignited a neighborhood fight , she also wasted valuable resources. This person shared their wild tale from a few years ago, when they first moved into a duplex. The trouble stared the day they moved in, when Karen began interrogating her new neighbor . Acting like she was the HOA, she told the OP that all fire pits and bonfires are banned from the street, then asked lots more invasive…

When renting or even owning property on of the biggest nightmares is a fire. That is why there are fire safety laws, especially in renting property for everyone's safety. However, in big cities, such as New York, it is easy to fly under the radar and get away with fire hazards. It doesn't seem like a big deal in the moment if there is a couple of bikes blocking the fire exit, or the smoke detecter doesn't work, but if an emergency happens those things become big problems. So as a tenant, for yo…

Hotel clerks have to deal with so many stupid questions. This front desk manager wrote about how they work in a national park at a hotel, and as with most customer service roles, they have some guests that can never be satisfied with their surroundings. One guest approached the OP to ask this gem of a question: "I know the county has a burn ban going on right now, but since the lodge is on federal land, it doesn't apply. So I can start a fire on the grass just outside my cabin , right?" The poo…

While trying to ask his crush to the Sweetheart Dance , one teenage goofball took his prom-posal to the extreme. What's the most creative way you've ever asked someone out? For many of us, it may be as boring as writing a card or just asking the person. But that didn't fly back in the day, as u/Smoke_Water shared to Reddit. He reminisced about his high school days , and the lengths that his dumb friend, Skip, took to get the girl of his dreams. The girl was Sally, and as u/Smoke_Water wrote, sh…

"He looks like a movie villain, but worse." Everybody in America knows who Joel Osteen is. Whether you love him or hate him, the man has some controversial crap in his past, present, and probably future that tend to muck up his reputation as a Godly man and an example to the church. So for sweet ol' Texan Joel Osteen, a name you can't even say out loud without assuming a southern accent, becoming the face of a mega church was simply part of the business plan. With his soft voice, wet curls, and…

One Twitter user shared her hilarious patriotism fail from many years ago. Basically, the story goes that the user, Kate, who goes by the handle @mcmansionh*** , had one sacred duty as a scout. All she had to do was fold an American flag as gently and carefully as possible. She and the other scouts viewed this as a very sacred honor …but she kept accidentally messing up each time she tried her hand at flag folding ! Folks in the comments really resonated with this tale. Apparently around this t…

You know it's time to quit when there's a fire in the grocery store and you're made to stay because a cranky Karen needs their chicken stock!

What a scoop.

Cool it with the fireworks inside.

It's like a birthday cake, but with a tank and a fighter jet.

The internet presides for judgement.

Never know when it could come in handy.

Cool, man.

Everyone is okay.
