This guy thought he'd be able to run around and have a good time with whoever he fancied, and then just return home eventually to swoop up his ex girlfriend. My dude, that is not how the world works. People move on. Self respect is a thing. This guy got his reality check in the end, and it clearly stung. But hey, it's better to learn late than never at all. If he really valued her happiness above all else, he'd leave her be, and appreciate the fact that she was able to move on, and find someone that brought her happiness. 

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.

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. 

Life just loves to be difficult. If things are running smoothly it's only a matter of time before a new obstacle, an unwanted curveball presents itself.

This quick and entertaining Tumblr post shines light on how common cowboy phrases/tips are actually quite applicable to various life situations.

These could also be helpful guidelines if you're ever going about creating a cowboy character. Check out another fun Tumblr thread about how wolf spiders actually run cranberry bogs.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the things that people are hilariously bad at. You might connect with some of these on a painful level. Some folks just aren't built to carry the small talk, or crack the funny joke, or dance. 

This collection of nostalgic images will take you on a nice trip down memory lane. Never underestimate just how painful it is to step on that one missing LEGO piece. No thank you. 

Working customer service is hard enough as it is, but working at McDonald's might be the toughest of scenarios. The establishment just has an uncanny knack for being a magnet to all kinds of chaos. 

This collection of funny tweets from husbands about navigating the emotional rollercoaster that is a marriage, will either encourage or strongly discourage you to ever pursue marriage. I mean, what's there to be afraid of? It's only for life. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the movie logic moments that don't hold up in the realm of the real world. It'd be great if we could always show up at the right place at the right time, or walk into a bar and order a "beer" and magically get exactly what we were thinking of; but thus is not how the real world works. 

These tweets will either convince you that you actually want to get married, or talk you out of the process altogether. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most useless bits of information that students were taught in school. We've all been there. Just muddling through the academic grind because we have to, and already aware enough to know that so much of the mind numbing information we're being force fed won't actually end up serving a purpose out in the real world. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various minor nuisances that are worse than wet socks. Now, topping the remarkably infuriating occurrence that is dealing with wet socks, is no small feat. But this thread certainly has some suitable rivals. You know, things like trying to fall asleep at night while one of your nostrils insists on whistling, whenever you breathe. Or, getting the sanitary towel stuck to you when you use a public restroom. No fun, no fun at all. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the moments people have experienced where they realized they weren't kids anymore. As we grow up, many of us look back on the days of our youth, longing for that simpler time when worries were nonexistent altogether. Or if there were worries, they were completely silly and of little importance at all. Some of these might strike a chord. 

"There's no time to explain, follow me!" Yes, there is definitely time to explain. The amount of times we see this particular TV/movie scenario involving a rushed individual telling someone to follow them into situations of obvious peril, without offering an explanation, is absolutely absurd. It's like, take a second, and provide a little context, my dude. Oh well, it clearly contributes toward that stressful pacing, and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. 

This fun AskReddit thread features a whole lot more of those moments from TV/movies that just don't hold up in real life as we know it. It'd be quite the strange world if we saw more of these phrases being used. Like going to a bar, and just ordering a "beer."

This quick Tumblr thread highlights the importance of being nice to the person responsible for preparing the food. Bro learned a quick and humbling lesson. Even then, he was still able to get some of that good old homemade pasta. Lucky dude. Also, totally ready for some pasta now. 

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the various American habits that Americans didn't realize were so American. Sometimes one has no idea how absurd their habits are, because they've been so normalized by the culture and society they're living in. The outside perspective can be quite eye-opening.
