surprising

Cops have some interesting stories, like times they've enforced stupid laws just because someone was being a real A-hole. Day-to-day,  the cops walk in on some pretty wild situations, and since naturally no one wants to be arrested, they hear some pretty dumb excuses. Here are some surprising times a weird excuse actually turned out to be the real deal; from police themselves and people who were stopped.

This guy's Tumblr thread about discovering a Dora the Explorer themed gangster car in a junkyard takes an even more unexpected twist when he learns that there are bullet holes in the window. Definitely a solid case of a post getting real dark real fast. 

We like learning how our favorite movies achieved their astounding visual effects, but sound effects can make or break the tone of a movie. It's pretty cool to think that it's someone's job to figure out what it would sound like for a mooshy robot body to be pushed through metal bars. What's even more interesting is that they decided it would sound like dog food sliding out of a can.

Twitter user @cpatterson_7 filmed his buddy trying out a speed pitch challenge at a Rockies game, and after the video went viral on Twitter he ended up signing an official contract with the Oakland A's! Talk about a true fairytale. We wish this guy nothing but luck in his spontaneous MLB career. 

What a wonderfully wholesome revelation to have. You're just going about minding your business, maybe even thinking about taking a quick snooze, when suddenly you discover that a cat has given birth to a batch of adorable little kittens...underneath your bed! Dreams do come true. Apparently this man kept the cat and the babies too. A true fairytale ending to a seemingly supernatural occurrence. 

This guy found himself quite shook after realizing what he read was in fact not a Harry Potter novel named "The Order Of The Phoenix", but instead some erotic fan fiction. To make matters even more grand in terms of the fail in this story; he didn't realize he'd mistakenly read Harry Potter fan fiction until he was already in the middle of a conversation with co-workers about it. Yikes. But also, amazing. 

This guy's Twitter thread about an "invisible advantage" he encountered when trading clients with his female coworker. The ensuing tweets are bound to stir up a cocktail of fiery opinions on the matter. What do you think? 

Just when you think you're going to get away with acting tough up in a haunted house, it'll humble you by giving you the fear. These customers definitely got nice and scared while they were at the haunted house. Thank goodness there was a camera around to capture the moments!
