Don't you hate that moment when you post a FOUND ad on craigslist for what you think is someone's house cat, but it ends up being a wild animal that pees all over your house? Is this relatable?

Twitter won't take your racism lying down.

1000 miles from home, in the middle of nowhere in the wilderness between Sweden and Norway when the aftermarket foot peg of your Harley loses its threads on a bumpy stretch of the road and falls off. Well, nothing that an old roadside post stolen from the state of Sweden and a cargo tie wouldn't fix!
Not sure a kettle cord meets European Union health and safety standards, but who am I, right?
