Top 20 Dad Jokes of the Week: 'My wife says I should do more lunges to be in shape. That would be a big step forward'

Seasons may change but Dads will always be the same. Whether you're in elementary school or you just got off of your parent's health insurance, you probably still cringe at your father's jokes, especially at the dinner table. Don't you just want to eat your meatballs in peace and not have to hear some strangely outdated, guffaw-inducing wordplay? Perhaps in theory, but the older you get, the more you come to appreciate those moments even if they're not exactly funny jokes. Perhaps you're on the…

'Neighbors suddenly became silent at night': Entitled neighbors refuse to quiet down their kids at 3:00am, tenant accidentally gets payback

Sometimes, the sweetest revenge is accidental. Sure, perhaps you've been fantasizing about the different ways in which you can get even with your unapologetically noisy next-door neighbor, but the conflict-avoidant part of you has kept you from acting upon those fantasies. All you can do in these situations is to hope for karma to rear its ugly head, and in this case, it didn't even have to. This tenant tried numerous times to keep both his adjacent and upstairs neighbors quiet. These were a gr…

'The cashier looked at me and we were both trying not to laugh': 2-year-old hilariously mocks Boomer throwing a tantrum at the grocery store

While waiting in line at the grocery store, this dad and his 2-year-old son found themselves in the middle of a wild scene. Right in front of them, a Boomer was having a total meltdown over his apple juice, waving around a half-full gallon jug and loudly complaining to the poor cashier that it tasted awful. As the entitled Boomer went on and on, the toddler started to imitate him. Not quite old enough to speak, the kid still nailed the Boomer's whiny voice, causing nearby shoppers to stifle the…

'I reported him for HOA violations I don't actually care about': Guy gets back at petty neighbor by overwhelming him with HOA fines until he moves

It turns out that the best way to get back at one's nuisance of a neighbor is to get the HOA involved.

'We had nobody in our corner': Kids cut off contact with parents after 10 years of them being a ‘vlog family’, claiming parents had taken away their childhood

Even though ‘vlogging’ has become a popular career path for many people, it does not mean we should overlook the dangers and red flags this so-called profession poses. Filming your life does not permit you to do whatever you want, and becoming ‘internet famous' has many cons alongside the pros, so this career might not actually be as glamorous as it might appear. Parents who decide to share their kids' entire lives on the internet, should definitely not be allowed or accepted, especially when t…

Husband admonished for telling wife and new mother of 3-month-old baby that she must return to work: 'She needs to work full-time'

It's surprising and disappointing sometimes the disrespect and disregard people have for their spouses when relationships are supposed to be built on respect and support. We're talking about someone who is supposed to be your other half, so it makes sense that responsibilities be split and handled as if that were the case—where capable and able. We're all only human, and our lives and their requirements are changing all the time, so we're not going to get it right all the time, but that's where…

She went on a mission to enforce "quiet Sundays," marching up to not one, not two, but four of her neighbors, demanding they stop mowing their lawns immediately. While most of us are just trying…
