Rules are in place for a reason. That's what administrators will tell you. But sometimes rules are created that end up antagonizing everybody. When I was in high school, there was an inordinate amount of fighting. It was commonplace to witness at least one or two student fights per day. Not a lunch period went by without a scuffle. The school responded to this by implementing two rules. One was a zero tolerance policy, so if your bully hit you, the two of you would both get suspended, even if y…

Not everyone is an A+ student. And even some A+ students have moments of profound stupidity! These people overheard some ridiculous statements, and roughly 18,600 people weighed in with their own stories . It seems like a lot of people don't know basic animal facts . That's wild to me, because children's books are obsessed with making kids learn letters, numbers, and animals! How do you grow up to be an adult and not realize that pigs have teeth? I know some parents don't read to their kids, bu…

May hit close to home.

Everyone's been to a restaurant before where they had a terrible server. You saw them flirting with the hostess, loitering around the bar, and rolling their eyes when you asked them to split the bill. Not to mention, they've neglected your table for 20 minutes, while you were starving and ready to order. Restaurant goers are faced with a tough decision– to tip or not to tip?

There are too many touch screens, iPad-dependent parents are screw ups, music is too loud, and everyone needs to get the heck off my lawn!

An entire generation was raised to believe that if you put an item in Jello, you can call it a salad. I have no idea how those kids made it through some of these extra creative gelatinous meals. Below, one person asked people to share the foods they think people are totally lying about enjoying. It's a matter of culture, and the food you grew up eating is usually what you're inclined to like best. However, foods that were very smelly seem universally disliked (durian came up numerous times, as…

Twitter is a big place, but every now and again, some viral tweets will bring the Twittersphere together for a moment. No two Twitter feeds are the same, so your odds of seeing the same tweets as someone else aren't guaranteed. But if you've been on the site long enough, you're probably familiar with tweets from some of the bigger meme accounts, like @dril and @horse_ebooks. They and other accounts send out a steady stream of hilarious tweets ! And eventually, the lingo from random, oddball twe…

These people had jokes and great advice of what to do and not do while you're young. If you are young, take notes! Being in your 20s is a wild ride. You're a teenager for a long time, then suddenly, you're out in the real world, getting a job, getting married, having kids… or just watching as your friends and colleagues do those things. While you might be the same age as your friend group, suddenly you all have different responsibilities in life. There's also just a lot of freedom in your 20s.…

Truly, how did these people ever make it through school without knowing such basic information? In this incredible post to r/AskReddit, one person asked people to tell them all about the dumbest people i n their lives. And thousands of comments rolled in, sharing hilarious stories of people who made all kinds of goofy mistakes. While some of the people in these stories were children, a decent amount were adults or teenagers. It's really surprising how someone tells you an incorrect random fact…

If you've ever visited Twitter.com, you're probably aware that there is always discourse, and it is usually quite serious. Whether it's the news of the day , discussions around celebrities, or any number of other topics, people love to throw out their opinions and talk about them with others on the site. Today's discussion will be a lot less serious and a lot more silly, thanks to this prompt from @photonsmight, which hundreds of people QT'd and replied to with their hottest takes . Next up, ch…

Many moments in life are just annoying enough to complain about for a while, but not annoying enough to take any action over. It's times like these that people head to the r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit. The sub is full of tiny little complaints , and we've picked out the top posts of the week to share with you. My absolute favorite is the person whose roof hath been arrow'd! What a funny sight to see — a spare arrow sticking out of the top of your house. That person probably had to go up there…

You have not lived until you've heard a parent telling their two-year-old named Atticus not to eat a handful of dirt. These days, you'll hear a wide variety of names on the playground, many of which are older names coming back into style again. “That's enough time on the iPad, Henrietta!" or “Ethel! We don't grab people's hair!” are common to hear with today's youngsters. Other people have been super into naming their kids after objects, like Forrest. That's a pretty name, but the problem for F…

Everyone keeps secrets from their significant other, but not everyone would fess up to secretly letting the dog snooze on the bed, or devouring "nine cans of ravioli" when their S.O.'s not around. Thankfully, these folks did for our amusement! "What's a secret you'll never tell your partner but are willing to tell strangers on Reddit?" one person asked the r/AskReddit sub , and answers of all types poured in. Commenters shared everything from the mundane everyday life secrets to things that wou…

This is real pettiness. After a “ big fight, " these two roommates have stepped into new territory.

You can learn a lot about someone just by watching the way they treat other people. On this r/askreddit thread, people shared that, along with other ways to determine if someone's trustworthy as you get to know them. The answers are interesting and eye opening — and you can tell some people only know their answers from personal experiences . Some folks advised that you should keep an eye out for how people treat waiters or other service workers. If they're rude or dismissive towards them, that'…
