These gamers had a listen in to their friends' personal lives, and they've stopped laughing for long enough to tell the stories. You don't need me to tell you that playing video games is a proper American pastime. If you aren't a gamer yourself, chances are you know a kid who's playing Roblox right now, or maybe you have a sibling who's glued to their chair playing Call of Duty. For a lot of people, playing video games is a great way to relax, catch up with friends, and let off some steam after…

Each family has at least one cherished memory of the time someone botched Thanksgiving dinner really badly. You know the kind of story: an aunt promises to bake the turkey , and roasts it for 6 hours… in a cold oven. Or maybe you had a dad who was so proud of his fresh apple pie, only to immediately drop it on the floor, where the dog then ate it. These Thanksgiving memories are often infuriating in the moment, and then become hilarious family memories as soon as the fam eaten their proper holi…

There is nothing like a hypothetical question to figure out who amongst us is selfish and who is caring. Some of you are far greater individuals than I would be in this situation. But then again, this is all incredibly theoretical. For instance, let's give a warm shoutout to the Redditor who said they would buy up vacant hotels and convert them into affordable housing. Perhaps if I became the richest person in the world, that would be the second or third thought that would cross my mind. Unfort…

Finding kindness on dating apps is like an elaborate game of Where's Waldo: you know it's there somewhere, but you have to scan through a lot of nonsense to find it. Of course, there are success stories that allegedly make all of those hours spent swiping worth it. Sure, the chances that you will find your soulmate might be slim, but at the very least, you are destined to get a couple of good stories and maybe even a free meal or two out of the whole “dating thing.” In this economy, that's wort…

Sometimes you see a product online that makes you go, “Who in their right mind would ever buy this?” It seems like some products are just made for nobody. One example is overly specific shirts, like that viral tee that read, “Never underestimate a mother who listens to iron maiden and was born in August.” Is anyone wearing those shirts sincerely, or are the wearers only being ironic? It's hard to say, and if I ever come across someone rocking an overly-specific shirt, I'll be sure to ask them.

New fear unlocked. So, this man bought a used car about seven years ago. Everything checked out, the car ran great, and all of the paperwork was in order. The only peculiar thing he noticed was that he was putting "miles" on the car pretty fast, but he didn't think much of it because he drove a lot and took a lot of weekend trips. Fast forward SEVEN years when he took the car into the shop. After arguing with the technician about how many miles were on the car, the OP uncovered the truth.

We don't think you can top these tales of airport madness . But you're welcome to try! If you work in the airline industry , or you're just a frequent flyer, you're going to witness some crazy moments eventually. From a grandma accidentally smuggling scissors through security, to an escaped pup running around the tarmac, these people have seen some things. Nothing crazy has ever happened to me at the airport, except the time I waited in the security line for three full hours, which was excrucia…

Whether we like it or not, life is full of nuisances. We try our best to muddle through these struggles, but that does not stop us from being overdramatic and drawing attention to ourselves as we express our frustration over the smallest of problems. Yes, we're aware that there are bigger problems in this world than our in-grown toenails or the 10-minute wait time for the next subway, but that won't stop us from acting like we are the most aggrieved people in the world. Call it main character s…

It's no secret that part of being a parent is messing up. Ideally, like in all things in life, we learn from our mistakes, but there are some parents out there who will never learn and who are practically walking red flags as a result of how they treat their kids. As these folks on Reddit pointed out via this r/AskReddit thread, there are countless signs that you or someone you know may be a trashy parent. Whether it's yelling at your kids in public or refusing to believe your kid could possibl…

The internet is many things: a place to connect with friends, read, write, shop, and discover a treasure trove of the oddest photos imaginable . When the internet was younger, it was a pretty magical place to be. You could find a lot of interesting websites about celebrity gossip or your special interests or websites like ours, full of memes, videos, and fails . I personally really miss the original Farmville game from Facebook… the hold it had on society in the mid 2000s-2010s was really somet…

We've all heard of the gift card scam via email. And if you haven't, maybe you should read this…

We all had a teacher back in the day who claimed something was true that occasionally made you suspicious. As you have gotten older, you have learned that your skepticism was not unwarranted and that you were absolutely right to question some of the nonsense this so-called educator was spewing. Over the years, we have all collected these bizarre “facts” that we have since disproven. They're often fun anecdotes to share at a party. For instance, did you know I was taught that I was taught that I…

On those groggy mornings where you're on autopilot , mishaps are bound to happen. We've all done it: when you're half-awake, you tend to do things like forget to bring your laptop to work, or maybe you start driving to your mom's house instead of the office, or even searching desperately for your phone while holding it. That's especially funny if someone witnesses you using your phone flashlight to look between the couch cushions for the phone in your hand. One of the more embarrassing things I…

If you take off your socks and shoes during your flight, that should count as an automatic ban from the airline. Unless you're a child---like a toddler, no one over age like 7---there's no need for you to be airing out your piggy toes mid-flight. As an adult, you should be able to wait a few hours while wearing shoes. Many adults wear shoes for 8 or 10 hours during work days, and often times even longer. So why does getting on a plane suddenly inspire so many people to get comfy by airing out t…

Don't you just love a good coworker bond over a common hatred that you can just spend all shift gossiping with and feeling validated for it? Me too. Whether it's a boss, a coworker, sports, anything. Nothing beats those special bonds that make work a little less miserable. Well, in this story, these coworkers became besties over their shared hatred of their new boss.

So, there's this dude with a neighbor who thinks he's Mr. Entitled . Nobody's really vibing with this guy. Our OP tried to be friendly, you know, casually chatting when they crossed paths, lending a hand with groceries - just regular neighbor stuff. But this neighbor was having none of it, not just with the OP but with the whole block. This entitled neighbor took things to a whole new level, and get this, he even kicked our poor OP's pumpkin! Like, seriously, what did the pumpkin ever do to him…
