It may be a new year, but dads will always be dads. Everyone may want to pretend that they don't love a dad joke, but there is something to be said for the number of times we guffawed while compiling this list. Here's the thing about what dad jokes produce. It's never loud laughter. It's never a cackle. But there is value in a guffaw. A guffaw is almost involuntary, and because we are often socialized to roll our eyes at dad jokes, the fact that these jokes provoked a guffaw out of us shows the…

Gratefulness doesn't come naturally to these people. Usually, people are taught from the time they're young that when someone gives you a gift , you should be thankful. Even if you don't like the gift, you should thank the person who got it for you. When they're five or under, kids tend to be brutally honest about the gifts they do or don't like, and it can be pretty funny for those around them. But when a teenager throws a fit because her parents bought her the wrong car? That's a whole lot le…

Karmic intervention is coming for those who need to be humbled. Just ask the people who shared their favorite stories of the times it's happened to them. It happens to every driver at some point: you're minding your business, enjoying a relaxing drive on the highway, when some dude decides to tailgate you. Some folks just have road rage, and all they want to do is compete with everyone else on the road. It seems like there are a few different types of these drivers. Some are trying to go fast,…

When a fight between two customers breaks out in a place like a restaurant or a bar, there are a few ways in which that scenario could end. Either both customers get kicked out, one of them gets kicked out, or none of them. In my time as a waitress, I had to ask a few customers to leave the restaurant, and it was never a pleasant experience. Most people just won't accept that they are in the wrong, no matter how much you try to calmly explain to them what is the problem. This Reddit story is ac…

A pleasant workplace environment and a good relationship with your coworkers are some of the most important things you need in a job. Think about it, you see these people for at least 8 hours, every day, 4 to 5 days a week. It won't be an exaggeration to say you spend more time with them than you do with your own family. If you don't get along, it can really affect not only your work but your personal happiness. The woman in this Reddit story has to deal with pretty unfriendly people in her off…

No one ever said your doctor couldn't also have a sense of humor. In fact, while some people might find jokes to be unwelcome in a hospital environment, others may find that in appropriate circumstances, jokes can be comforting. Perhaps the right kind of bedside manner is a personal preference at the end of the day. Personally speaking, I will go to any doctor's appointment with more pent-up anxiety than anyone else in the waiting room. If my doctor isn't going to crack a joke to break the ice,…

Who wouldn't love to get a chance to get back at the people who were mean to them when they were kids? It is unbelievable sometimes, how mean kids can be to one another, and to think about how they learned to act like that, and why. But still, as adults, you keep reminding yourself that those are just children, and you should take anything they do in perspective, even if they are behaving unkindly. Having said that, I would have loved to get a chance to get back at some of the people who made m…

This is what happens when you don't pay attention . It was an expensive (and probably humiliating) lesson for one boss to learn. This person had a really cool job back in the 1980s . It was a whole different world back then. In the era before the internet was widely available, advertisements would often come in the mail. Sometimes, they would take the form of catalogs. Toy catalogs were a staple of many kids' childhoods---it was fun to grab a marker and start circling all the toys you wanted as…

These pets have been on their baddest behavior, and they have no regrets about it! Some pets are just blatantly naughty, and they don't care who knows it. Lots of cats are this way: they'll solemnly knock glasses to the floor, zoom around your home knocking furniture over, or leave unsavory “gifts” for their owners to find.

If you think you're having a bad day, just wait until you see what these folks are going through. From tiny annoyances to giant messes, these people have been going through it. It's normal to have an “off” day or two. No one's life is perfect.

Satisfyingly insulting insults that won't put a quarter in the swear jar

Being someone's boyfriend does not necessarily mean picking them up from work during a snowstorm. There are certain times in life when it's every person for themselves, and this was clearly one of those times. The funniest part of the story here is that the girlfriend, who shared this post via Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, showed her cards when she mentioned that there was near zero visibility during the storm. So honestly, was she really expecting him to drive in the middle of that? Sorr…

This call center boss is really tired of metrics. At many companies, it's clear that leadership values the numbers over their customers and employees. The numbers don't lie, after all, but just looking at the numbers in a vacuum isn't always enough. This place is a great example of that. Some higher-ups who have probably never even talked to their employees looked at their call times. They decided that the calls were taking too long. Why that would be an issue at a call center is beyond me. I m…

Kids get a bad reputation in the service industry. However, anyone who has ever worked at a family restaurant know the truth—it's always the parents. Kids will be kids, we all know that, and it's up to the parents or guardians to teach their kids how to behave. So when an adult allows their tiny human to run around a restaurant like it's their personal playroom, of course everyone working there is going to be annoyed. Other than the fact that it's a real danger for your kid to be doing that whi…

A group of 14 neighbors apparently banded together to write an unintentionally funny note . There's at least one person in this neighborhood who is absolutely incensed over fake plants . Fake plants are optimal for people who are constantly forgetting to water their plants, or just don't want the responsibilities of watering them all the time. Other people just like the look of plants that appear bright and blooming year-round. Not to mention that many fake plants really do look like the real t…

These problem-solvers got creative with their kitchen gadgets and random objects. At least they're keeping everyone around them in fits of giggles. No two households are the same, so the things you find normal will be foreign to someone else. Even something as simple as operating a can opener or a toaster can be confusing at another person's house . Maybe one of the most common ones in my experience is trying to figure out how to work someone else's shower. You don't want to push, pull, or turn…
