We don't know what it is about troublemakers and mailboxes. Apparently, people that enjoy breaking the rules, especially enjoy messing with people's mailboxes. This particular pro revenge story involves a kid repeatedly vandalizing a family's mailbox, but we've seen this tale before with different characters. Yes, we're talking about the time that an evil snowplow met its match in the form of a steel enforced mailbox.

Someone on AskReddit got an entertaining thread going about the times that farmers were left utterly puzzled by strange stunts that their animals pulled. Some animals are more mischievous than others. Or there's those chickens, and how they've been known to apparently let loose cursed cries if one mocks them. 

For some reason, having the ability to type out your thoughts has emboldened people who think they're geniuses and enabled them to brag to everyone about how smart they think they are. These mistaken brain lords are out there in the comments ruining jokes they don't get, making conversations awkward, and always mentioning their supposed IQs.

This kid's spontaneous decision to pretend that he was blind when faced with a rude Karen in the uncomfortably crammed confines of an elevator, was pure genius. He managed to awaken Karen's buried sense of humanity, and actually get her to calm down. That is no easy task. Wonder if this strategy works on all the angry Karens out there. Check out some more juicy Karen drama with this story about the time that Karen and Karen Jr. tried to cheat the school system, and got outed.

Social media has given ridiculous people a place to insert their supposed genius into everyone else's lives. It could be that these absurd people think they're geniuses because they once took a bogus IQ test. Sometimes it's just a defense mechanism for not getting a joke. Sometimes people are so caught up in their own narcissism that they start to believe they have brain powers.

Life only runs smoothly for so long before we encounter a nice curveball to throw us off our game. From there, it's up to us to not give into blind rage or panic, and instead troubleshoot that dang hiccup with calm and a little brainpower. These folks certainly implemented some clever solutions in the face of irritating problems. Check out some more life pro trips to get a leg up on life over here.

This revenge story is truly inspirational for all the students out there that have ever suffered at the hands of presumptuous, toxic teachers that they were too afraid to stand up too. Because oh boy, does this student hatch just the kind of revenge plan that took patience and dedication; and ultimately paid off in a big and beautiful way. 

Pavlovian conditioning can be a powerful thing. Just by sheer association, pets can learn very specific things, like how this smart dog learned the dinner criteria. Some pets take it a step further, like this dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba. Pets can learn a lot of very specific things. Usually it has to do with treats.

You could call it narcissism, a compulsion to brag, or just a lack of self awareness, but some absurd people think they're total geniuses and they absolutely must let everyone know online. Methods include saying you know how the universe works, bragging about being an "early reader" and completely missing the point of a joke. There are a good amount of ridiculous people out there who think they're geniuses.

Like people, dogs can easily pick up a on patterns. They might not know exactly why something works, they just learn that something DOES work and they keep doing that. Pretty much exactly like people. For another smart dog, here's an intriguing Tumblr thread about a dog who learned how to herd a lawn roomba.

Bullies are the worst. This particular bully vastly underestimated their victim. Dude ends up infiltrating the bully's house as a babysitter and managing to frame the bully. 

Say you're watching a dumb youtube video of a guy throwing a watermelon off of his roof. The comment section is all "lols" and "who's watching this in 2020s" when it happens. Right out of the blue some rando who lives in his mom's basement taps out an essay on why everyone is stupid and anyone who doesn't listen to Chopin while pretending to do quantum physics is a sheep. Now he's downvoting your okay melon puns that he doesn't have the attention to understand. All you can really do is wonder what makes this ridiculous person think they're a genius.

Flat earthers really have their work cut out for them with this one. 

The internet, home of ridiculous people who think they're geniuses. These are people who describe themselves as "too rational" to get a joke, think they understand space travel after thinking about it for 10 minutes, and rate online IQ tests poorly for giving them bad (accurate) scores. They're here to brag about themselves and ruin comments sections because they think they're geniuses.
