When trained the mind can be a beautiful instrument. Even without the training it's as if some of us are born with a bit more willpower than others. Sometimes that willpower can end up showing itself at a very young age. Especially during those toddler years that are already susceptible to all kinds of tomfoolery. There's something about kids during those years where they just can't be bothered to give a dang. This kid certainly showed off some impressive willpower. They're clearly going places. 

Starting up with a new job is a disorienting experience. It's a humbling time that's dominated by the overriding reality of regularly recognizing that you don't just yet know what you're doing. Some people are better at navigating that time of transition than others. One thing that can certainly make the whole process of starting up with a new job that much harder is if you find yourself having to deal with an Apple computer that's been given to you by your employer, but said Apple computer was converted into applesauce. For another glorious TIFU tale check out this story about a woman who nearly pepper sprayed a man over a twin misunderstanding.

Mom's heart was in the right place. The only problem is that she might've been blinded by the love she clearly has for her children. Because, dude, Coke and Mentos is a literal recipe for disaster. And then you throw in a bunch of hyperactive kids? Oh, the end times have arrived. Hopefully mom was able to get the situation under control, and is able to impart her hard-earned wisdom upon anyone other parents in her social circle that (somehow) might not know better. 

Kids can be quite devious. There's something hardwired into so many kids' brains that results in them carrying on with all kinds of mischievous, rule-breaking behavior. And then when a parent goes and introduces a reward system meant to encourage good behavior, some kids will even take the extra measure to cheat the system. In this particular scenario we have a girl who accidentally forgot about her uncle's car keys for seven years. Pretty dang hilarious. 

How cold hearted can you be? The mom in this scenario literally goes out of her way to tell the store what her 1-year-old (1 YEARS OLD) daughter did when it came to lifting a sweets item. And then the store still has the heartless audacity to tell the mom that she's banned. Pretty unreal. 

Anyone who has a twin knows that having a family member who looks exactly like you can result in some hilarious, if not panic-inducing situations. It sounds like the dude on the other end of this interaction had no idea just how close he was to taking some pepper spray to the face.

Anyone who has ever enduring the profound pain that is a back spasm knows that when those strike, it's no joke. You might find yourself questioning how you're going to come out the other end of the experience alive. A decent back spasm can test you to the very depths of your soul. In this case, it sounds like the back spasm was in a league of its own. Fortunately though, the dude was able to get the medical attention they needed. And hey, they got a great, unforgettable story out of the experience. 

Kids can be very mean. So, it's understandable that this dude went into survival mode and faked an accent just to try to steer clear of being bullied. With that being said, it's especially hilarious that he had to maintain the fake British accent for so dang long. I say, just keep it going, man. Really double down on refining that accent so that it's completely unrecognizable from the real thing. 

Man oh man, let a story like this serve as a cautionary tale to anyone out there that's naively, proactively underestimating the importance of making sure that their backup files are in check. Fortunately, this student was able to eventually get the work that they needed to get done, done, and look back on their blunder with humor.

You very well might've heard of someone or another trying to tackle the infamous milk gallon challenge. It's a challenge that invites the most inflated of egos to push their bodies quite literally past their limits. It sounds like this dude vastly underestimated the kind of toll that the milk challenge would take on his body, and ended up paying the price dearly. 

Crows are a bit of a trip. They definitely exhibit a notable level of intelligence, and even carry grudges. It sounds like this dude had a fragile system worked out with the crows in his vicinity. Unfortunately, his timing was off for making good on some bird tax, and he ended up paying the price. Maybe just don't stow the raw egg in your pocket next time around, man. 

We'd bet that a lot of parents out there are bound to relate to this hilariously wholesome accident. Apparently the whole family ended up getting accidentally "sleeptrained" by a strangely adorable little stuffed worm toy thing. Whatever works, I guess. 

Ghosting is a terribly common occurrence in this day and age. It could be a nasty manifestation of the multitude of dating apps and people just not being able to keep track of the plans they end up making with folks, or just being pure old flakey flakes. Well, let this dude's brief story about the implications of them ghosting their date serve as a cautionary tale to anyone else out there who could be considering ghosting their date. You never know what kind of plan the universe might have in store. 

Honestly, they got lucky. Years long feuds have gone down over something like this. Could've shaken out a whole lot worse. 

Not researching a company before a job interview with them is almost always going to backfire in one way or another. Even a little bit of homework before the moment of the job interview arrives can benefit you immensely. With that being said, this baker ended up enduring quite the awkward, humbling moment when they didn't do their due diligence on a bakery before sitting down for the interview. That lavender will get ya, man. 

Jack had enough of this customer's rude behavior. So, he enacted a calculated and very satisfying petty revenge. The best part of this petty revenge is the moment that the customer goes to another store, and realizes their card isn't going to work there either. They underestimated Jack's capacity for pettiness, and definitely paid the price for that.
