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. 

The costume was just that good. No, seriously all kidding aside this is absolutely hilarious. Poor guy was just trying to cheer up his buddy that was going through a tough break up, and ended up in the middle of a very uncomfortable moment of pure delirious confusion. 

Man, the expression on this woman's face as she listened to her handy sleep recording app, only to learn the real, potent truth behind why her boyfriend was being "distant." Homie was trying to break free of a rather dank room that'd been infused with the smells of a high fiber diet. Hey, nothing wrong with mixing up the diet, and certainly nothing wrong with passing the gas, when you've got to let it out. This is really just a hilarious snapshot of a situation that must impact plenty of couples out there. This particular couple just decided to get the app that uncovered the ultimate truth. 

Some days are just destined for the fails that you never forget. Take this poor fellow who ended up accidentally rickrolling eight entire cities. Can't even imagine what must've been going through their head when they realized what they'd done. A definite heart-leaping-out-the-chest moment. 

All kinds of cringeworthy and unfortunate events seem to happen in the air-conditioned confines of the local doctor's office. Sometimes, that means a patient not realizing that they're actually mic'd up, and the MRI technician on duty can hear every last fart that they're letting loose. An unfortunate, yet humbling (?) experience for any human being to go through. 

Man, this might get the anxiety flowing for anyone out there that ever did something similar to this as a kid. It's funny and unfortunate that as kids we're all just led along, sometimes down the wrong routes, due to our overwhelming curiosity. The lesson here is obviously to not stare at the sun! And if you have any kids, make sure they're not doing something similar to this!
