Most parents teach their children about having respect for other people, but occasionally, you'll come across one or two who refuse to acknowledge that their kids need to learn a lesson. It's as if they are some untouchable species that could never do anything even remotely annoying or entitled or inappropriate. But we all know that kids can be all of those things. In fact, they are likely to lean into those qualities if no one calls them out, and it's preferable that their parents should be th…

Karaoke is not for everyone, and it's ten times worse when you have an actual good singer present. We all know why that is. They hog the microphone, they take it too seriously, they pick obscure songs (probably musical theater), and belt crazy notes that don't actually sound as good as they think. In short, karaoke is only fun when everyone in the group is on the same page about what this is. You can either have a room full of show-offs and legitimate singers, or you can have a room full of non…

Though this guy claimed to know how to do his job, safety wasn't on his list of concerns. That alone should have told his boss that this dude wasn't a good fit for the role. U/rslashcallousheart had a story to share about the time they worked as a stage hand , setting up stages and equipment for music venues. It's quite the hands-on job, requiring the workers to move heavy equipment not just on the ground, but sometimes high off the ground. These things are so heavy that the workers are require…

These musicians have taken their craft to the next level. These instruments are custom made to be large, twisty, or otherwise weird-looking. It's not every day that you get to see a guitar with dozens of strings , or a drum so big you need to stand on a ladder to play it properly. Why do people make these quirky instruments? You'd have to ask them yourself, but presumably they like to push the bounds of what's been created already, as well as produce some completely unique sounds from their new…

Micromanagement is a kind term for control, which a lot of bosses often feel like they need to exert over their employees in one form or another. In this case, OP was working for a construction company, doing admin and project management work. The company employed a lot of Latino men, who would listen to Mexican music on a speaker during their shifts. There was a lot of noise from the machines, so the speaker was pretty big. One day when OP came to work, he found the speaker was gone. Later tha…

The best part of the whole story is that the teenage daughter has absolutely nothing to do with this.

We love a harmless but amusing prank! In this case, this Redditor decided that the best way to get back at her husband when he annoys her (and she assured her readers that these are only for minor grievances) is to pull a prank using his music playlist. Her husband uses the music Apple curates for him while he works, so whenever he upsets OP, she plays a ton of crazy music on a low volume on their shared speakers so he doesn't realize it's her. However, she plays enough of it so that it complet…

Why play music on a boring, ordinary guitar, when you could play a bicycle wheel guitar instead? The creator of that hilarious and genius instrument is bringing some chaotic energy to the stage. They're not the only one who used their creativity to bring some more music into the world. Check out the following instruments of chaos . Then, these people really thought they were right, but they're actually just confidently incorrect .

Dealing with noisy neighbors is the worst. There's always a risk of starting a superiority contest on who is more passive aggressive, who's louder, and who's more willing to lose sleep over a petty neighborhood battle. One man learned his lesson the hard way– After years of harassing his neighbor next door with booming music and surround sound movies at all hours of the night, she got payback.

The people who left this one-star review should pick a different bar to hang out at… or was it actually their bartender who was out of line? Commenters were totally split on who was technically at fault in this situation. Twitter user @MyNameIsAmy shared a funny anecdote from her job. Customers left a one-star review at her place of business, calling her out for a pretty petty reason. In their review, the customers were annoyed that their group wasn't permitted to change the music. However, I t…

From kazoos to recorders to those single drums that you can carry in a backpack, most kids grow up playing some kind of instrument. Say an extra thank you to your parents today if you recall playing a xylophone before school (for practice!) or playing “Smoke on the Water” on the bass until everyone in the house needed pairs of earplugs.

This one is for anyone with a dark sense of humor.

It's that time of year again…not just the holidays and the new year approaching. But it's time for everybody and their mother to start posting their Spotify Wrapped playlist on their socials! As the likes and comments roll in on each post telling you how great your taste in music is, we can see that everyone's playlist is uniquely theirs. Spotify is a fun place for creative people to make their own playlists, too! These folks below really went the extra mile to create playlists for the most uni…

Art: the original meme template. Hundreds of years have passed since some of these paintings were created. Did their creators ever imagine that we would some day be spamming memes onto their artwork that they spent countless hours painting? Telling a 17th century artist that their work was made into a meme would be like making a pilgrim taste a Dorito for the first time. And with a time machine , anything would be possible…but for now, enjoy this delightful collection of art memes ! After that,…

Have you ever heard one of those songs from middle school as an adult and all of a sudden, it all just feels a bit too close to home?

Rock on, my dude
