This tale of pro revenge involving an inconsiderate county mower and a dad who wasn't going to put up with anyone's nonsense reminds us of another revenge involving a steel-enforced mailbox and a snowplow. The grin on dad's face must've spanned from cheek to cheek. Sounds like the county mower was ultimately unsuccessful with trying to get dad to cough up cash for those broken blades too. Talk about the icing on the cake. 

People that go out of their way to leave blatantly false reviews are the absolute worst. They're consciously working to bring down perfectly good business' reputations. It's garbage. Fortunately, this martial arts academy was ready to address the lies with pure masterful class. 

We knew kids were weird and stupid already, but for a decent amount of time they're also ugly too. It's true that none of us would look too great if we had soft heads that just got pushed through a human being like a play-dough fun factory, but it's kind of a toss-up how different people take it. They're not supposed to look great when they're fresh anyway. Life is weird like that. You're born into this world and it's just a matter of time before you start realizing all the illogical things your parents do.

Being responsible for the continued existence of multiple human lives is an undeniable hassle. Few of us are even that prepared to look after ourselves, so throwing in a few more mortal entities into the cauldron of life isn't gonna make things run more smoothly. Here's to zero sleep and parenting memes for the perpetually stressed.

Many of us aren't really even half decent at caring for ourselves, so when you throw a new human being in there, things get real wild real fast. Here are some dad memes that go father than ever before, as well as some extra proof that children are weird and dumb. Don't look at memes too long, your kid might be sticking their head into a big jar of pretzels or something right now.

This powerful Twitter thread focuses on the importance of setting personal boundaries with others around you, and adapting accordingly when those boundaries aren't respected. This woman's mom sounds like an awesome human being. You can see the positive impact that this mom's parenting approach had as the young woman grew up and faced other situations in life where her personal boundaries weren't being respected. 

This dad decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to determine whether or not he was in the wrong after lying to his son about his bike being stolen, with the intention of teaching the kid a lesson. Some folks in the comments section are suggesting that his decision to lie like he did could result in his kid developing trust issues. While others seem to think that the dad wasn't in the wrong at all. 

Parents can end up doing some awfully silly, seemingly nonsensical stuff. Maybe it's all in the perspective though. Like, the younger generations will just never understand how their parents ended up with some of the strange, conditioned behavior that they did. That being said, it can make for some awfully entertaining situations. 

There are plenty of parents in this world that end up having to deal with terribly stubborn and ridiculously entitled children. However, every now and again there's a situation where the kid ends up genuinely financially struggling no matter how hard they've been trying to dig themselves out of the hole. The daughter in this scenario sounds like she wasn't in the wrong in the slightest, and if anything, the dad could've handled the situation with far more grace and understanding than he offered. 

It's pretty much a universally accepted truth that kids are strange and clueless, and oftentimes their unfiltered nature manifests in adults fielding all kinds of unexpected, if not spicy sentiments. In this case, we have a wonderful thread where parents come forth to describe the pettiest things that their kids simply won't let them live down. Certainly paves the way for some comedy gold. 

This perturbed mother asked the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community whether or not she was in the wrong for vetoing her boyfriend's request to name her baby after a character in the notorious "Twilight" book series. Honestly, this boyfriend sounds like a bit of an immature waking nightmare. The dude had the audacity to make a post about the baby's name before it was ever agreed upon, and then tried to tell her that it was too late to change the name because everyone saw it. Like how old are you, man? Get out of here with that. 

These moments where kids were agents of full on chaos/staged ridiculous temper tantrums over the silliest of matters might be enough to convince some folks out there that they are in fact not ready to have kids. Parenting's clearly a profound emotional rollercoaster that comes with many speed bumps, and a steady procession of curveballs. You're going to have to grow very accustomed to things like sleep deprivation, and manage to maintain nothing short of a saintly patience along the way. With that being said, adults certainly aren't immune to having temper tantrums of their own. Check out some of those over here. 

Fortunately, this tale of a customer mistaking another customer for an employee has a happy ending. Normally, we come across frustrating tales of Karens and other entitled walks of life going out of their way to rudely demand things of customers that were minding their business, just trying to take care of their own shopping needs. Sometimes, those scenarios even end up escalating into situations where the confused customers still ask the other customers to help them out, as if they worked there. Pretty unreal. This story though just involves some good old fashioned tomfoolery and an overriding, welcomed sense of humor. 

Poor mom was just trying to keep the peace amidst her kid having a bit of a breakdown over a toy penguin. Regardless of whether or not the penguin that mom swapped out was actually identical to the other one, it managed to gain disapproval from her husband. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community seem to be in agreement that mom wasn't in the wrong.
