insane

Chella Phillips, a resident of the Bahamas, manager of a dog refuge, and self-advertised "crazy dog lady" has taken in nearly a hundred stray dogs in order to protect them from the looming Hurricane Dorian. It's staggering seeing so many dogs in one place, and it's obvious the situation is a complex one, but with the alternative being leaving the dogs out in the storm to fend for themselves, this is a pretty impressive undertaking. In the lighter world of taking in stray animals, we've got a craigslist fail here of a sorely mistaken animal lover who thinks they've adopted a stray cat.

We all just want to get through a regular, uneventful day, but sometimes life makes things complicated. Sometimes even small things, like dropping a pan of kebabs, can be the most defeating feeling you've had in months. Sometimes it's something bigger, like accidentally overloading a semi-truck and destroying it. These things are all disappointing, but at least they don't happen to you every day,

We've seen petty onion-based arguments with mother-in-laws, but this is a whole 'nother level. In this advice column, a woman was suspicious that her mother in law was trying to poison her. Prudence said she should get her husband to switch plates at a family function and see if the mother in law had any objections. The following-up details how he didn't believe her, so she switched the food anyway, and while it was confirmed that the mother-in-law had it out for her, the plan didn't make her husband believe her. If your mother-in-law is crazy enough to be a serial poisoner, maybe you should be wary of your husband as well.

We can't think of a worse pet sitting situation out there. This lady doesn't even promise the small amount of money she offers, deliberately withholds information about the dog's condition until after the sitter would have agreed, and then calls her weak for not wanting to totally derail her life for a hundred bucks. Absolutely phenomenal. We've seen people make insane lists of rules before, like this bride's friend who made a list for a bachelorette party.

In recent years there's been a campaign to make bars less predatory by employing code language like asking for an "angel shot." The idea is that it's a discrete way to get the bar staff to get a patron out of a potentially dangerous situation. The idea is generally thought of as a tool for creeped-out women to get away from men, but occasionally the reverse will happen.

Every school had a few of those kids that would do absolutely anything to get people's attention. Sometimes it was making up insane lies, other times it was pulling their lunchmeat out at a birthday party or drinking during a test. Either way it often led to some kind of school scandal. What ever happened to those kids, anyway?

People can be very particular, selfish creatures. Sometimes we think we'll be good with someone before realizing that our other quirks will get on their nerves so terribly that they never want to see us again. Some reasons are overly petty, some malicious, and some outright bizarre. Some people outright try to screw over their Ex. Lawyers, legal assistants and other people have collected some real weird reasons some folks had to get a divorce.

These lucky people all found themselves less than seconds, or in some cases inches away from complete and utter destruction. It really makes you feel deep thoughts about the delicate balance in which all our lives hang. And also it's effin' wild. For stupid people who things didn't perfectly work out for, check out these utter morons who deserve darwin awards.

Thank goodness for reflexes. These videos would look a whole lot different if not for some quick thinking or just straight up luck. Honestly, most of these are just luck. Here's to monster trucks and trains having effective breaks. For more close calls, check out these close calls where people escaped ruin by moments.

These close calls are inches, feet, and seconds away from being really not fun to watch. Congratulations on everyone's luck in these videos, because without it they would all likely be hurting a lot more. For more close call gifs, here are some close calls where people escaped ruin by moments.

Life is a series of close calls. Yours might be almost having spilled your coffee this morning. For these people it was almost getting hit by a train. Oh, quick reminder, look both ways before crossing the street. Don't save the looking for when you're halfway through. These could have been some real doozies. For more, here are some close calls where people escaped ruin by moments.

We're not super sure what drives people to make absolutely insane demands and insult the hell out of strangers their dealing with. Is it the anonymity? Maybe sheer desperation? Either way these folks don't look like they're going away any time soon, so the only thing we can do is prove to them that their tactics won't work.

It doesn't just have to be music related. Metal is a state of mind. When you see something particularly brutal, like a dude gluing his fingers back on, or a whale exploding all over a bunch of bystanders, you know deep down that what you've just witnessed is none other than utterly metal. Check this out more some metal memes that are brutal enough for satan.

Sometimes people aren't at a point in their life where they're ready for a relationship. Honestly, a lot of people will never be at that point. Here are some folks who had wild run-ins with people who, for a variety of reasons, couldn't hold up their end of the relationship bargain. Sometimes when you're ready to leave, you'll run into big problems, like this guy whose ex-girlfriend wouldn't let him break their lease.
