This person managed to make a true American dream come true: making four figures per hour . Making $1500 per hour is something that most people dream about, but never achieve. Just think of what you could do with that kind of money. First, you could buy and eat probably like ten burritos. Then, you could buy a new game console.

'Couldn't remember groomsmen, went with dudesmaids instead': 20+ Times forgetful people made up their own words

The word is on the tip of your tongue , but you just can't quite remember it… It's a universal experience in this human life of ours.

Don't forget your lunch.” Though parents have mastered the art of misspeaking, they aren't the only ones who remix words to their…

'They were trying to peel eggs with a vegetable peeler': 40+ People who were stumped by common household items

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 .
