We just love these kinds of wholesome misunderstandings. Our hearts definitely go out to the kind and supportive dad who was just massively enthused because he assumed that his kid got published in the infamous Marvel Comics. At least dad showed all the love like he did. 

When it comes to the worst things that could happen to someone who decides to sit on/near a fire escape, this spidery scenario basically ranks right up there with almost falling off a dang fire escape. We can only imagine how much adrenaline was coursing through this poor person's body when they got the surprise of a lifetime. 

Man, all this technology that we have infused with our daily existence can go on to inspire some moments of hilarious confusion. Basically, the technology can end up accomplishing the opposite intended effect. In this case, we have a customer who was just out there trying to make use of their fancy Apple watch, and ended up in the middle of a fist bump exchange that they never wanted a part in, in the first place. Oh well, at least we got the nice little fail out of it. 

Let this glorious TIFU stand as a lesson to the rest of us about the importance of handling the getting rid of Christmas trees in a timely manner. Naturally, if you don't you run the risk of unleashing nothing short of a horror scene in your living space. 

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. 

This parent had a rough night of sleep, and proceeded to fall into such a mental fog that they forgot what day it was, and literally forget that their kid was at school. The pure panic that they must've endured upon waking up from that deep slumber, and assuming that their kid had been taken must've been the stuff of nightmares. 

Let this be a lesson to all that we need to be ever mindful of what we're throwing away. This coworker casually tossed away a seemingly innocent package, and went on to ignite a full on life emergency alert. Well, you live and learn. 

This guy made a grave mistake. And that mistake was one of him trying to tell a lady asking for money that he didn't speak English, while he very well did the whole time. It's tough to pull off the whole "I don't speak your language" thing when you're literally speaking their language right back to them. 

Just imagining the confused and terrified expressions on the faces of this guy's parents is enough for a big laugh. Talk about a classic case of an older generation just not understanding all the crazy technology we have at our disposal nowadays. Nobody wants a haunted Alexa in their household. 

Man this student sounds like they'd be a prime recruit for the Flat Earth movement. They wrote a joke essay about the earth being flat, and the school ended up taking it so seriously that it manifested in them implementing a whole bit about the earth actually being round, into the curriculum. I'd say mission accomplished in the way of the student playing a solid little prank. 

This is definitely one of those situations where everything just added up in a way that made the surface level appearance of the situation look way more sketchy than it actually was. Actually, it wasn't sketchy at all. Dad was just playing around, and the police ended up mistaking him for some kind of evil kidnapper. Certainly anything but the typical day of dropping your kid off at school. 

Betty was playing with fire and she didn't even realize it. You can only imagine the kind of incredulous fear that gripped this poor dude as he watched Betty unknowingly, fearlessly chug a coffee drink that had six shots of espresso in it. It sounds like those 911 drinks are nothing but bad news. Why not just stick to a coffee, or even a double shot of espresso? That's just so much caffeine. 

Man, to have been the tech support involved with this conundrum. What started as an innocent enough update from the customer about the online ordering system not working, ended up evolving into a full on mess. Technology can be wildly frustrating like that. One little piece being moved around can bring the whole dang tower toppling down. 

Check out some more tech support drama with this belligerent customer who wouldn't cooperate with tech support.

Finally, we have a good old fashioned TIFU that's just believable enough to make this story all the more entertaining. You can all but picture the dude trying to exercise some self restraint in the face of the maddeningly tempting sweet donuts, and ultimately failing miserably. From there, it sounds like he pretty much just committed to robbing that poor family of their precious donuts. With that being said, it's definitely a wholesome and relatable TIFU for anyone that's ever tried to snack on something sweet, and fail to not overdo it. Once you start, it's pretty much impossible to stop, when it comes to those sweet donuts. 

Man, people who refuse to pay for services rendered are really in a terrible league of their own. This particular guy learned his lesson, after refusing to pay up for a fireplace project. Suffice to say, he got smoked out. Check out some more juicy pro revenge drama with this electric organ revenge that was years in the making.

Man, you'd think that the whole not evacuating for a hurricane on time couldn't be more stressful than it already is at surface level, but then you come across a story like this where a guy ends up having to shelter with lions. Turns out big cats really know how to stink up the place too.
