Bride passive-aggressively shouts out 'few friends who brought gifts' during elopement party toast. Bottoms up.

0
0

Weddings are expensive as hell. Even if you opt to go a DIY discount route, the costs of providing food, drinks, and decorations for a wedding party quickly pile up and form a fat, daunting bill to settle.

To add to that stress, the financial costs don't even begin to sum up the many emotional factors that go into planning a wedding. Do you really have to invite your racist uncle just because the rest of the family is there?! Is it tacky to tell your fiance their completely harmless ex from eight years ago can't be invited?! There are so many questions at play and dynamics to handle that many couples choose to funnel that wedding money into eloping in privacy, and later throwing a smaller party.

While it's fairly standard practice for wedding guests to bring gifts for the couple (often dictated by a registry), it's technically not required in most cases. To add to this, the concept of attending a reception party is different than attending a full-on wedding ceremony and reception. All this is to say, the etiquette and expectations around wedding gifts varies, and it can already be incredibly expensive to attend weddings as a guest if you are traveling, or buying new formal outfits.

At the end of the day, the most important priority should be that your friends see and support you on your wedding day, but that isn't the priority for everyone.

In a recent post on the Am I The Asshole subreddit, a woman shared how she threw a wedding reception party with her husband shortly after eloping. The party itself was small, but costly, and involved many of the same elements as post-wedding reception. One of the key differences, however, was how few presents they received. This upset her greatly, enough so, that she passive aggressively brought it up in the toast. Since her husband thought she was overreacting, she decided to bring the situation to the court of Reddit.

"AITA for calling friends out for not bringing a card or gift to my post-elopement wedding reception?

Amidst significant family drama, my husband and I decided to elope and then host a 35 person garden-party wedding reception at our home. The reception was on the same date as our original wedding had been planned and tbh it cost just as much as a small wedding reception (approx 7k), had great food, black-tie servers/bartenders and an open bar."

"We noticed, though, that the majority of our guests did not bring a gift or card. Particularly, a few of my lifelong friends did not bring a gift or card. I get that it’s technically a guest’s discretion to bring a gift or not but come on! So I mentioned it I passing a few times that only one item was purchased off our registry and our card box was virtually empty."

"I also thanked “the few” who brought gifts for their generosity in my toast. My husband thinks that me mentioning this, and being upset about this was in poor taste (although he acknowledges that we spent the equivalent of $200/pp on the party). AITA for thinking ppl should bring a wedding gift to our wedding reception?"

"Edit: wow, apparently the internet feels very strongly about this lol. I guess IATA.

Just to clarify a couple of things: our invitations were very clear it was a wedding reception. People did not know at the time we had eloped."

"Lots of you asked what the family drama was and suggested I was to blame for it. There was drama on both mine and my husband’s side actually. My husband’s dad and brother are alcoholics who have been sending him really abusive swear word-filled emails/texts for just over a year now after he stuck up for me at a family gathering. They are both the type to do something ridiculous and cause a scene so we didn’t want them present when we said our vows."

"My parents are split up and there was all sorts of unnecessary drama about me inviting my dad’s wife of 15 years as well as my mom. We just didn’t want anybody doing anything to ruin the ceremony so we opted to have it by ourselves without them. We can always kick someone out of the reception, but wanted our ceremony to be special and memorable."

actualdisasterbi thinks OP was completely in the wrong for mentioning gifts during the toast, particularly since they didn't throw a full wedding.

"YTA

"My husband thinks that me mentioning this, and being upset about this was in poor taste"

He's absolutely right. It is IMO tacky to be so passive-aggressive about gifts, especially in this case since you didn't even have a wedding. You literally threw the equivalent of a backyard barbecue and wanted to be rewarded for that."

valloyossa thinks OP overreacted, but also recognizes that it was far more costly than a "backyard barbecue" and that it is relatively tacky to bring no gifts.

"Although I agree with op being ta I must say none of our backyard barbecues costs 7k. It is also in poor taste of the guests to not bring presents or a card at the very least"

offgridlady brought up a very good point: the guests didn't ask for the reception to be expensive.

"I agree... I think it is in bad taste when people mention a wedding was $200 per person thinking that they should somehow be reimbursed for that. A gift should ALWAYS be appreciated but NEVER expected. Let’s be honest how many people ACTUALLY want to go to a wedding. Those people didn’t ask you to spend $200 per person on them. You chose to have black tie waiters ... you chose to spend $7k. No one owes you anything."

FSUalumni thinks OP should have made her expectations clear, since post-elopement receptions don't have clear etiquette.

"YTA. Elopement parties are a weird social situation without set standards. If you wanted gifts with your elopement, you needed to make that clear beforehand. Being passive aggressive at the actual event is TA move; they couldn't change anything at that point, and your comments just make you seem greedy. Besides, wedding celebrations should be about celebrating your union, not counting the gifts like a child on Christmas. I'm excited about my own impending wedding and the registry, too, but if someone doesn't get me something they're not gonna hear about it from me."

randomsparklyunicorn also agrees that many of the guests were probably confused about whether to bring gifts or not.

"Completely agree. I am guessing a lot of people were unsure of what was expected/etiquette here. I can picture myself googling beforehand and not getting a straight answer. Either way, once the people are there without gifts, you just have to be gracious and stick to the plan of celebrating the marriage!"

little_honey_beee thinks that OP's toast and mentions in passing truly seal in the fact that she was in the wrong.

"Typically when you elope, you don't get gifts. And mentioning it in your toast is tacky. YTA on this one.

"So I mentioned it I passing a few times that only one item was purchased off our registry and our card box was virtually empty. "

"I just saw this sentence. Yes, you are definitely TA for that. If I had a gift for you, like a check or something, and I heard you mentioning this, I would have kept the gift myself. You're not entitled to a present"

CONTROL_N thinks OP handled it badly, but also thinks it's tacky to show up to a reception empty-handed.

"I definitely think OP is TA, but if someone has an elopement reception with alcohol, catered food, etc (OP said they spent 7k), I would not dream of showing up empty handed. I eloped and did not have any reception, thus I never expected any gifts. But I am going to an elopement reception next week where we were invited by formal paper invites and the event is at a reception hall. I think it would be very tacky to not bring a gift, in that case."


Britney Spears made a video about 'conspiracy theories' that worried fans. We did a deep dive.

Britney, are you ok? As a hardcore Britney stan, I consider her wellbeing a public health concern. About a month ago, Spears reportedly was in a 30 day mental health facility which began the #FreeBritney movement. She addressed the rumors with this:

Britney has been in the public eye since she was a teen which must be rough. She even wrote a song about the constant critique of her body if you recall the lyric, "I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin, do you want a piece of me?" Awhile back, rumors from Britney's manager were swirling that she might never perform again which would be an American tragedy. Her Las Vegas residency was canceled due to her father's illness, but apparently she's spending her time offstage indulging conspiracy theories...

In a very on brand but fully unhinged video, Britney discusses a conspiracy theory involving paparazzi photo-shopping celebrity photos. She starts off by saying, "please don't judge me, I look haggard." Britney, your looks aren't why we're judging you! She even explained it further in the Instagram story text by writing, "I just got off a jet ski." Now all I can imagine is her jet skiing through Miami and thinking, "What if...the news...isn't REAL?"

Britney Spears must have been living under a massive rock since 2016 because I'm pretty sure she thinks she invented the concept of "fake news." Also, who told her it was okay to use the expression, "skinny as a needle?" I don't want to think about needles and Britney Spears together. It's too traumatic!

Aside from the strange video, she seems to be enjoying her Miami getaway with her personal trainer boyfriend which would lead me to conclude that she is, indeed, ok.

Chernobyl thirst traps are the hot new Instagram trend.

Step aside, Kylie Jenner's Handmaid's Tale party. There's a new tone-deaf way to celebrate a prestigious TV show in town!

Instagram influencers are flocking to the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Pripyat, Ukraine, where thousands of people lost their lives after an explosion at a power plant on April 26, 1986.

Up to 200,000 people are said to have died from the accident and its residual radiation, which has rendered the town uninhabitable for the 33 years since the tragedy. Nothing is sexier than nuclear safety.

It wasn't until 2011 when the site was declared safe to visit, and the HBO miniseries has Crazy Rich Russians heading to the former Soviet Union to pay their respects and get those likes.

Нарешті руки дійшли і до фотозвіту з зони відчуження. Покинуте і пусте, небезпечне і забруднене радіацією... ну, по правді, все не зовсім так. Місто-привид зараз густо населене найрізноманітнішими видами тварин, як ми і зрозуміли буквально через кілька хвилин після перетину своєрідного кордону зони. Густі ліси, що стали домівкою для цілих табунів коней, зграй птахів, лисиць, оленят та інших тварин зовсім не несуть атмосфери відчуження та ізольованості, не кажучи вже про туристів найрізноманітнішого походження (яких тут можна зустріти найчастіше). Припять стала для мене містом когнітивного дисонансу, коли квіти рясними кущам цвітуть серед уже зруйнованих часом тротуарів і будівель, а тваринний світ населяє водойми і ліси навколо. Попри загальний острах до цих земель, рівень радіації не несе небезпеки для життя, а на туристичних маршрутах і зовсім безпечний. Вражає, і, як не дивно, радує те, що природа настільки швидко і майстерно відвоювала свої володіння, як тільки людина пішла, навіть попри залишений нею отруйний слід. І тому такий туристичний об’єкт як «чорнобильська зона» є під загрозою зникнення - усі залишені сільські хатки розваляться, захоронивши під собою залишки пам`яті про колишніх мешканців, коріння дерев зруйнує всякі залишки фундаменту чи асфальту, а такі історично важливі будівлі як лікарня у Прип’яті, куди у першу чергу привозили пожежників із АЕС у 1986 році, може просто зникнути у лісовій рощі. До речі, у саму лікарню туристичні групи не заводять, тим більше у знаменитий підвал цієї будівлі, де до сих пір знаходиться спецодяг, знятий з пожежників у ту саму рокову ніч. Ці речі до сих пір несуть серйозну радіаційну небезпеку - у самому холі лікарні збереглася хустинка, що належала одному з пожежників, і що до цього дня заставляє показники дозиметра значно підскочити, показавши вагомий рівень радіації. Неймовірним для мене було те, що до самого четвертого реактору можна було підійти настільки близько. У голові це місце по замовчуванню отруйне, небезпечне і смертельне. Таким воно по своїй суті і залишилося, лише сховане під масивним саркофагом. Своєрідна «скринька пандори», вічний пам`ятник жахливому і жорстокому лицемірству радянського режиму.

Смотрю 1 сезон «Чернобыль» снятый НВО, рейтинг 9,5⭐️. Полтора месяца назад я посетила Зону отчуждения☠️, впечатления от увиденного просто так не передать💔. Осенью планирую повторный визит. Приводит в ярость насколько безответственно по отношению к жителям Припяти и всему континенту поступило руководство Союза. Эвакуацию города ,который в 3 км.❗️от станции , начали только когда иностранные учереждения зафиксировали радиационные выбросы в Германии🇩🇪, и США 🇱🇷были сделаны снимки пожара со спутника. Но как же героически, профессионально и самоотверженно подошли к этому вопросу наши ученые, специалисты, военные, шахтеры и рядовые работники станции которые смогли остановить катастрофу мирового масштаба, с которой ещё не сталкивалась земля 🌏 . Если бы оперативно не была откачена вода из под 4 энергоблока, то в течении 3-х суток после первого взрыва могли загореться все 4 реактора, что привело бы к ядерному испепелению 200 км зоны, в т.ч. Киева и Минска. 400 Шахтеров подвергая себя облучению вручную выкопали шахту для охладителя без которого дальнейшего развития катастрофы было бы не избежать. Закапывали землю в землю. Могли погибнуть миллионы, Украина🇺🇦и Беларусь 🇧🇾стали бы полностью не пригодными к жизни на столетия. Советую посмотреть, заставляет задуматься о том как хрупок наш мир и что его нужно беречь🌏.Какова цена лжи? #чтопосмотреть #чернобыль #припять #kievcity #атом #pripyat #chornobyl #4энергоблок #радиация #стоитпосмотреть #сталкеры #stalker #физика #ядернаяфизика #дятлов #ссср #чистыйвоздух #противогаз #зонаотчуждения #топтунов #четверг #физикядерщик #герои #ликвидаторы #чаэс #thеtop #апрель1986 #киев #тбилиси #батуми

According to The Washington Post,Pripyat saw a 30% spike in tourist bookings since the HBO show premiered.

One of those visitors is a model who decided to show off her skin that was NOT burned off in a fire. Weird flex, but okay.

She's getting blasted in the comments—no pun intended, I swear.

An abandoned town is eerie and cool, but maybe take a second to think about WHY the town is abandoned?

It's not a post-apocalyptic movie set, it's the sight of a real, historical, mini-apocalypse.

Influencer, law student, and bikini entrepreneur Julia Baessler took a picture in the room where it happened—the room where Soviet staff failed to prevent a nuclear disaster that tainted the air across the continent.

She also got pics elsewhere in the exclusion zone, too.

One guy took the opportunity to strike his favorite pose.

My rule of thumb when traveling is: if people died there, then maybe not shoot for a cute photo.

3 teas to biohack your period into being less annoying and painful

0
0

If you’re a menstruating person, you might, like me, be constantly scheming to figure out how to make your period shorter and less painful. If you’re also like me, you’ve spent some hours obsessively Googling “period teas:” teas that contain certain herbs that claim to make your time of the month less painful and annoying. Here's the lowdown on what kinds of teas are out there, and more importantly, which ones don’t taste like burnt sticks.

Some important disclaimers before you add a period tea into your regimen: if you’re on medication for any reason, PLEASE consult your doctor. Also, your mileage may vary with these teas. Everyone’s body is different and special — or at least that's what I heard on Barney as a kid. If your periods are particularly painful or come with added symptoms, you may want to get tested for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or Endometriosis. (Boy, reproductive systems are so much fun!)

Yogi Tea “Woman’s Moon Cycle” Tea
The tile of this tea made me feel like Gwyneth Paltrow was gonna sell me tampons made of rose quartz crystals. It contains a “proprietary blend of herbs” that includes raspberry leaf, anise seed, and something called chaste berry. While Yogi Tea is often known for its inspirational sayings on the tea bags that always make you feel slightly threatened, another thing I always find with Yogi tea is that there’s this unnatural, almost Splenda-like sweetness. It doesn’t taste like sugar, but that flavor profile always ruins Yogi tea for me. I couldn’t stomach this tea enough to see if it helped me, so like my girl Ariana Grande says, "Thank u, next!"

Traditional Medicinals “Healthy Cycle” Tea
Don’t you just love a good euphemism with your morning cuppa? I laughed at the product description: healthy, feminine, and empowering. (Sounds like a women-only Soulcycle class, not a tea that I overpaid for at my local natural food store.) I swear by Traditional Medicinals’ Throat Coat for any illness, so I was excited to try this. It contains raspberry leaf and stinging nettle. I’m not sure if it’s the medicinal looking packaging, the high price, or the placebo effect that made this tea feel like it was the most effective one I tried. I can’t say whether my period felt any shorter, but I didn’t notice any cramps.

Ahmad’s Raspberry Indulgence Black Tea
Raspberry Leaf Tea is supposed to keep your cramps at bay. Don't forget the “leaf” part of the tea title, and buy regular raspberry tea. Whoops.

Unfortunately, I can’t say that any of these teas were a magic bullet for my period. It lasted 5 days and it still sucked! But a warm cup of tea makes everything more bearable and less annoying, so why not? If you’re interested in biohacking your time of the month, try a period tea the next time you’re in the beverage aisle.

Dude on Tinder brags about beating 'annoying girl' in 8th grade election. She has the last laugh.

0

Nobody gets out of middle school unscathed, and some people hold on to grudges longer than others.

An eighth grade student council election was relitigated on Twitter when a bro decided to boast the fact that he run for president just because he found a girl annoying, and the girl he found annoying ended up seeing his profile.

Twitter user @MeghanHibbs shared a picture of a guy's profile which said, "Still proud of the time I became class president just to beat someone I found mildly annoying. get wrecked meghan."

Meghan did NOT get wrecked, and has returned to wreck thee!!!

The tweet went viral, and people pointed out how lame a dude he must be for making his profile about a girl he found annoying in middle school.

Being motivated by spite—and then bragging about it years later—is a new level of petty.

This reunion, however, would be a perfect twist in a rom-com, and "Get wrecked" Meghan provided her new fans with an update, explaining that she slid into his DMs and all is well.

Meghan said that the old nemeses are trying to arrange a date, and I'm trying to arrange for this story to be adapted for Netflix.

Noah Centineo is already attached.


12 people share the scariest 'oh hell no' experiences they've survived. Watch out for scorpions.

0
0

Sometimes being alive is truly terrifying. It's a wild world out there full of crazy people and unpredictable animals.

Of course, we've all heard stories of the typically scary things: possible ghosts, stranger danger, clowns (why are there still clowns?) and unexplained sightings and sounds. Everyone has at least one story that haunts them occasionally when they're trying to sleep. Was that a bear or did you escape a serial killer? We'll never know...

When a recent Reddit user asked, "What is the scariest 'Oh hell no' experience you’ve had?" the internet was ready to share the moments they entered survival mode. Sometimes all you have to do is look at someone or something once to say, "oh absolutely not." Or, in the words of Arya Stark, "NOT TODAY."

1. Nope, "discourse_commuter."

When I was 10 or so, I woke up before everyone in the house (it was like 7am) and decided I would sneak into the pool. I was waist deep in the water before I saw the alligator on the other side of the pool.

2. ...Santa? "ivyrose49."

I was home alone one day and heard someone walking on the roof. I literally almost shit my pants.

Found out later that the roofers were coming that afternoon. Mom forgot to tell me.

3. This is so scary, "Southerbelle01."

Early one morning I was leaving a hotel and a man followed me to my car. I jumped in quickly and locked the doors as my butt was hitting the seat. He knocked on my window and I let it down only about two inches. He tried his best to convince me I dropped a key in the parking lot and should get out and get it. It was a ploy and I knew it. I finally looked him in the eye and said, “No! Not me!”. He knew I meant that he wasn’t getting me. I wasn’t scared, but instead furious. I left before he did and hurried to get onto the interstate. With heavy 5 lane traffic he came flying up behind me and then right before slamming into me he darted left between cars, almost causing an accident. I couldn’t report him because I left so quickly and didn’t get his plate number. I never stayed at that hotel again while traveling that route.

4. This is WILD, "lick-a-lemon."

This is a story my dad likes to tell about his Oh-god-no moment!

Dad's lived in the little village near Bristol, UK, for pretty much all his life. I grew up there too. It's not too far off a main road, and there's a nice pub in the middle of it that's practically a second home to all the locals.

One night during the late 80's, Dad and his friends are all down the pub, which is having a lock-in. That main road had recently been closed for resurfacing and all the traffic had been diverted through the village, so there were plenty of new people who'd come in after seeing the pub on their way home.

It gets to about half past midnight, everyone's a bit merry, and suddenly there's a knock at the door. It's one of the new guys who'd occasionally pop in from outside the village, who's white as a sheet, out of breath and trembling. The landlord invites him in, sits him down, offers him a drink and asks what on earth happened.

"I've just run over some poor girl."

Everyone in the pub goes all quiet - it's very close-knit round there, even today, and nobody wants to hear that one of theirs or their friend's kids has just been hit by a car. People start asking him questions - Who did you hit? Is she badly hurt? Where is this?

"It was on the main road, where they've just had all the roadworks. I don't know who it was and I can't find her, checked everywhere"

"She... I think she must still be under the car."

Now everyone notices that this man hasn't driven here, he's apparently left his car on the main road and run to the pub. Panic does odd things to people I guess. Pretty quickly, everyone realises someone's going to need to go and check the accident site while the landlord calls the emergency services (no mobile phones back then). So about a half dozen people head out to where the roadworks were.

There's the car, headlights on and driver's side door still open, sat in the road at the end of some very long tyre marks (no anti-lock brakes then either). The locals check the verges up and down the road, no girl lying there. No girl lying in the road.

They look under the car.

Nothing.

Someone points out that the car's pristine too, doesn't look like it's hit anything at all. They take the car back to the pub, and let the driver know - he hasn't run anyone over.

"But I saw her - and heard her hit the car!"

Someone asked how fast he was going to cause that big skid mark, and he looked ashamed before saying:

"Seventy, I think, maybe eighty."

That's double the speed limit. Eventually everyone chalks it up to him being tired, he gets to spend the night in the pub, and it all quietens down.

Two weeks later, it happens again to someone else - a driver insisting they hit a girl late at night on the main road, but no sign of an accident at all. A month later, it happens again. For the next year or so afterward, people came into that pub at night insisting they'd run someone over. The village got a ghost story!

Turns out, there was an explanation for all of this.

It only happened late at night, at exactly the place where the roadworks were, and usually if the driver was speeding. Any guesses who the girl was?

She was the 'Please Drive Carefully Through Our Village' sign, half covered in ivy.

You'd hit the resurfaced part of the road, the car would go bump, and the headlights would light 'her' up at the same time. If you weren't paying attention, she looked like a teenage girl in a dark skirt.

They only figured this out after someone ran her over for real, and then moved her. The ghost sightings stopped after that, but my dad and his friends still tell the story!

5. NOPE NOPE NOPE, "Garfunk_Elle."

Worked at a coffeeshop, one of the baristas was cleaning the bathroom. Hear her literally yell, "Eeep!" She comes to get me, saying I need to take care of a weird looking spider. I love bugs, and get kind of excited to catch and release the "weird looking" spider outside. Walk into the bathroom and it's not a spider--it's a fucking scorpion.

6. Definitely a witch, "Brass_And_Frass."

I was around 11-12, in a public restroom that had a couple stalls. Just sat down to start my piddle when the woman in the next stall asked if I could pass her some toilet paper. Sure, no problem - we’ve all been there!

When I pass it under the divider, she ended up stroking my finger as she’s taking the paper, her index finger lingering on me. I didn’t think anything of it, it’s an awkward pass. I finish up, flush and step out of the stall to go wash my hands. As I’m starting scrubbing, she steps out of her stall. Normal looking 40-ish woman, just looks like someone’s mom.

She starts washing her hands and just locks eyes with me in the mirror. It was only about 3 seconds in total, but I remember how her smile subtly went from generic to something a little darker. It was hard to explain, but I felt like she wanted to eat me. Every possible spot of skin that could get goosebumped stood to attention. Instinct told me to GTFO of that bathroom so I bolted.

Could have been nothing, could have been a childish dramatic projection, but I swear that bitch was going to chew on me.

7. It's the tower of terror! "MOOSEKNUCKL."

I stepped into an elevator on the 8th floor of a hotel and hit the 10th floor button. Right before the doors closed a group of at least 15 people jammed themselves in while I’m standing in the back corner. The elevator was rated for 10 adults.

Instead of going up, the elevator slowly started to go down. After half a floor, the elevator went into free fall for roughly two floors until the emergency cable caught. I thought I was going to die that day.

8. Ghosts! "joman6977."

I went to a friends house, when I entered it was dark and there was nothing on except a static TV.

9. NO THANKS, "Sarcasm_isgud4U."

I was 4 years old and I lived with my grandparents at the time,My grandparents house was not fully developed and Bugs and spiders would come in the showers and kitchen. When I was finished doing my buisness in the bathroom. I tried to go back outside again but there was huge snake in the kitchen so I couldn't get pass. All I was doing was screaming until someone heard me.

10. Woah, "AverageSizeWayne."

The guitar hanging on my wall plucked a note at 2 am on Halloween morning. My grandpa passed away an hour before.

11. Always use the deadbolt, "gothiclg."

I was staying alone in a hotel room in advance of a friends wedding. It was my first time traveling alone and since the wedding was in San Jose and I live in LA so I was about 8 hours from home to add to it. Around 2 am I hear someone trying to use a key in my door and pounding on it frantically to try to get in. That was a really huge "oh hell no" moment for me. Luckily enough for me I had experience working in a hotel that was a little too free with their master keys so I'd engaged the deadbolt on my door whenever I was in it. I was so glad for that deadbolt that night.

12. Definitely a lizard heist, "Skiddds."

When I was in Mexico, I was staying on a decent-sized resort with a good amount of wildlife. When we first arrived, an employee warned us about the possibly agressive wildlife (spidermonkeys, lizards, fish, etc) on the trails and in the waters. These trails had cenotes, gardens, historical pieces and a bunch of other cool stuff.

I wanted to see a “Prehispanic oven” offered as a “historical piece”, so I walk down a dirt road in the furthest corner of the resort (resort is about 6-7sq miles) to see this oven.

On my way out, at LEAST 30 of these fucking lizards were lined up making all sorts of sounds at me, with their necks all flared up and shit. Also, at the resort they told us to stay on the trails, because of other potentially dangerous wildlife. But I was cornered by THIRTY of these fucking things in nothing but wet shorts and sandals. How do you prepare someone for a situation like that?

I said fuck the trails and I ran through those woods faster than I have ever ran before.

Not quite sure what those lil guys wanted from me

13. WTF, "pmayall."

There was a spate of sighting in the U.K. where people dressed up as clowns and stood on the street and just stared at people. Doesn’t sound scary until one night I was walking home - it was dark early and there was a clown on the corner of my street. I actually said out loud “no” and turned around - I proceeded to cut through people’s gardens and enter my back door that way.

Being a parent is tough. Between all the multi-tasking, scheduling, lack of sleep and overall chaos, it's important to laugh at yourself sometimes.

With father's day right around the corner, it's time to celebrate all things dad. Dads are easy targets for jokes in the family because, well, dads can be so silly sometimes. Why do dads lose it when anyone goes near a thermostat? When you become a father do they give you a secret guidebook about what temperature every room should be?

1. "Back in my day we used maps."

2. Dads never make it to the end of the movie.

17 people dish on the worst dating profiles they've swiped left on.

0
0

Online dating is a special kind of hell that we have created for ourselves and can't seem escape. Cute! While swiping is a lot easier and less time consuming then meeting someone IRL, it also subjects us to dealing with way more people than we naturally would. Even if you're just viewing someone's profile, reading their likes and dislikes can be nauseating. I'm looking at you, Mr. I-Only-Like-Chicks-Who-Deep-Throat.

I won't say that there aren't some great people out there on dating sites -- they're definitely are. You just have to dig to find them. And while digging, you're going to stumble upon some nasty sh*t. And chances are you screenshot those profiles and sent them to the group chat. But what about the ones you and your besties have missed? Have no fear, people on reddit gathered to share the worst things they have read on people's dating profiles after user RandoBrandoBanjo asked, "What's the bitchiest, most pretentious/entitled thing someone can have in their online profile?" Here are some of the best answers.

1. The person who thinks they invented the American Dream (emalen)

"CEO of [LastName] Industries"

"School of Hard Knocks"

2. The contradictory misogynist (SouthernYankeeWitch)

I quite often see men posting that they want a woman who is "very intelligent" but "not as smart as me, of course."

I always vomit in my mouth a little.

3. The confident anti-vaxxer (833CheesecakePiehead)

"I'm anti-vax, and if you insult me, I will make sure you don't hear the end of it."

Do I need to say why?

4. The entitled world traveler (BrianChoi6969)

I once saw a profile that said all the countries this girl had visited. Denmark, Sweden, Australia, Cameroon, Thailand, Japan, and many more. Then it said her exes brought her to France and China, which she did not enjoy. She said if you wanted to date her you better bring her to nice places or else.

5. The elitist assh*le (legit_henryt)

‘I don’t speak broke sorry’

6. The unoriginal person who thinks they're like, so clever (HoneyMinx)

"Fluent in sarcasm."

Just so cheesy and overused.

7. The drama queen in denial (deedlesdoodles)

No drama!!! Usually means they are just full of it. They just don't want you to bring your own and sully theirs

8. The guy who is going to die alone (lanakia)

One guy's profile that I read was: "38 male - No cats, no tats... Shows you don't even respect yourself, no atheists, NO libtards... Have a brain or bye, show some respect; it'd be nice for a change. Actually over 50"

IMO, don't give someone a list of "no's" it is very negative and talk about respect - lying about your age.

9. The person with too many standards to function (VonMeatstein)

The profiles that say like " you have to be this height, this weight or make this income " and such.

10. The person who needs to cool it with the internet lingo (lamiller0622)

"Boss Babe Entrepreneur Mommy #Younique PM for details *winky emoji lipstick emoji* "

11. The smug idiot (amildman)

Always the smartest person in the room."

Then you're in some pretty fucking dense rooms, aren't you, you numpty.

12. The person whose entire personality is "I love vacation." (lol_im_back3)

I saw one where a guy, whose pictures were all "vacationy," just had "Been to more places and am more cultured than you." Unironically, as best as I could tell. Okay?

13. The wannabe Marilyn Monroe (Glideintomy)

"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best" or some shit like that.

Yeah, no one deserves your emotional manipulation and temper tantrums just for what? You dress nice?

14. The wannabe Cersei Lannister (Talion66)

"You want a whore, buy one. You want a queen, earn her!"

That didn't work out well for Cersei, most likely won't work out for you. She was mad and shagging her brother. Not the best person to compare yourself to.

15. The "Nice Guy" who finishes last (Crown-of-Roses)

Where a guy gives a sob story about his exes, how he got catfished by someone in his profile, or says how nice of a guy they are.

16. The arrogant d*ckhead (lacoulpro)

“Prove to me that this app works” or “prove to me that not all women are...”. Like. Get out of here. I don’t owe you anything buddy.

17. The person who should just sign off (NightsSoBreezy)

“... and I probably hate you”

30 parents share the times their kids communicated with ghosts or spirits.

0
0

Kids have no filter and a completely new and undeveloped context for socializing with others, which can make them simultaneously genius and terrifying at times. Most adults who aren't auditioning for Dexter know you shouldn't make passing comments about wanting to wear people's skin, or pluck out their eyeballs, but many young children just aren't there yet.

Whether they're trying to give you a compliment, or acting as a medium for a demon of some sort, children have the unedited ability to change the energy in a room with the mention of just one creepy thought that passed through their head unexamined. To add to that, children are extra sensitive and more open to the possibilities of ghosts and invisible worlds.

In a recent Reddit thread, parents shared the creepiest things their kids have (recently) said, and it'll make you wanna lock your doors whenever the school bus passes by.

1. 1982wasawesome woke up from a nap in terror.

"I was napping on the couch and my then three year old was standing there with a toy, felt saw. I woke up to him saying "I'm going to saw mommy's head off!!" Uhhhh....nope."

2. SubSahranCamelRider's cousin channels the spirit of a cat caller.

"My cousin who is three, he keeps referring to any woman he sees as ''tasty''. We would be watching a movie and he would point out a woman and says '' she is tasty''. What he means is that she is beautiful. I can't even walk with him outside because I am afraid he might point out to some woman and say that she is tasty."

3. Lokis_thor-obing_ass watched a child covet a body part.

"I overheard a girl tell her mom, "Her eyes are pretty", referring to the new daycare employee, "I wanna wear them on my charm bracelet."

4. Akummu's child thinks death is beautiful.

"On a long drive through central/western Pennsylvania (all farms & hills or forests & low mountains), my 5yo out of nowhere says, "this will look really cool as a wasteland. you know, after everyone dies"

as much as we asked, he didn't elaborate on that. h"

"Edit:

  1. It was between Williamsport & Wellsboro on Rt 15 when he said it

  2. the “h” was from another sentence that was accidentally deleted. He caught us off guard because the car was dead quiet, between songs and we thought he was on his tablet. It really creeped us out."

5. PorkchopSquats's daughter plays a very strange game.

"My 4-year-old likes to play this make-believe game where she is having a baby and needs it “cut out” of her (we have never explained to her what a C-section is). Then the baby always has some sort of deformity, like no eyes or arms or something, and she needs to try again to have a better baby and she is just going to throw the bad one out."

"My wife and I have refused to play this game with her once we noticed the pattern, but now she is drafting her younger sister into it and they love it. I’m torn between making them stop or just being happy they’re playing so nicely together."

"Edit: After seeing some comments, I will add that my wife and I do not let our kids watch YouTube unattended, we have discussed this weird game with our daughter and do monitor it, but overall it just seems harmless despite its creepiness."

6. OnceUponWTF's niece and nephew actually saw something scary.

"My niece and nephew were 13 and 15 at the time and we were watching them for my brother in law while he was out of town. At about 3am i get shaken and awake to two visibly upset teens who start sobbing about a dead woman trying to get in my nieces bedroom window. This jolts my husband out of bed in a hurry, he grabs his handgun and tells me to stay with the kids. They live in a mobile home that sits on risers, so this window is roughly 9 feet at its base."

"He goes down the hallway and i hear him shout, "WHAT THE FUCK?!" and run back to the front door and outside. Now the niece and nephew are losing their minds, not wanting their uncle getting hurt so i call the cops and walk to the door to see whats going on."

"The dead woman was in fact a woman hopped out of her mind on who-knows-what, naked, and she did very much look like a corpse. She had been standing on the roof of my truck, trying to see in the windows."

7. TJC528's granddaughter has a ghost friend.

"So, my son and I stood watching his then 2 yr old daughter as she stood looking, laughing, and chatting away in toddler jibberish at...nothing...in a completely empty hallway. We just watched her and looked at each other with a WTF look on our faces."

"Same granddaughter, some years later, still sleeps with me when she visits because "that girl" scares her. That's all she'll say because evidently the girl told her not to tell anyone about her."

8. Kindredbond's son is afraid of the upstairs.

"When we first moved into our new house, our four-year-old refused to go upstairs. When asked why, he replied "I don’t want the things upstairs to defeat me!”

I get it, little man. I don’t want the things upstairs to defeat me either."

9. _imtosadforthis's little sister scared the living daylights out of their mom.

"Not a parent, but a sister

A couple years ago, me and my sister (me 11 and her 14) Were watching my 4 year old sister. she was always a little weird and said weird stuff but nothing to bad, anyway, me and my sister were watching a movie and fell asleep by accident and when my mom got home she started screaming and shaking us to wake up."

10. schuser's daughters saw a 'scary bloody man.'

"My husband is a farmer. One night he asked me to pick him up after working ground and it was pretty late, around 10 o'clock. So I loaded our two girls up-then 4 & 2 and headed to the field."

"We get to the field and C is finishing up his last round so we had to wait for a minute. I rolled the windows down in the van and shut the engine off. After a few minutes my two year old says, "Mommy, who dat man outside?" I said, "I don't see a man, is your ken doll on the floor?" my 4 year old then piped up, "He's right outside your door and staring at you. He's scary. He has blood on his face."

"That's when I turned the key, rolled the windows up, locked the doors and called my husband and told him to hurry the hell up because the girls are terrified and there's apparently a scary man outside my door that I can't see but both girls are describing him and what he's doing."

"Thankfully C was done and heading up to the van at that moment and we left. My girls are now 5 and 7 and they both still remember that man and refuse to go to that particular field. I have to ask my MIL to watch them when I need to pick their daddy up from there."

"When we were asleep my mom must have called checking in on us and my little sister picked up and said "I had to do it mommy had to kill them, I cut sissy's throat" And hung up, it still scares me sometimes"

11. JohnnyBrillcream's son near gae them a heart attack.

"My 4 year old son had a habit of announcing when he had to use the bathroom. He would say "I gotta go potty". One time he makes his business known and heads off toward the bathroom. He returns seconds later and says "There's already someone in the bathroom". Now I do know for a fact that it's just the two of us home so the hair stands up on my neck. I ask him, "what do you mean". He repeats, "There's already someone in the bathroom".

"Now I'm thinking, is it someone "I see dead people" or someone in a hockey goalie mask. So I grab the biggest knife from my knife block and tell him to stay here. I walk to the bathroom, take a wide angle to see in, nobody. Slowly and quietly walk toward the shower and pull back the curtain."

"Nothing. By now my son has walked around the corner and I ask him "where did you see the person?" He points to an un-flushed toilet and says "See, someone’s already here".

His big brother didn't flush the toilet.........."

12. DontWalkRun's babies had premonitions.

"Both of my children, when they were babies, would point to empty corners of the room as if someone were there."

13. thekkillers's sister saw a dead man.

"Not a parent but a good story about my sister. She was about 3 years old and we were getting ready to go to our uncle's house for dinner. She was being really fussy and didn't want to get changed so my dad asks her "Don't you want to go to uncle Dan's house?". She then responded saying "No, I don't like the man in the ceiling." We though it was an odd thing to say but didn't give much thought."

"A few years later we were helping my uncle sell the house and it came out that someone had killed them self in the attic back in the 90's."

14. Forever_Pancakes's child regularly creeps them out.

"My 3year old while eating dinner told me there was a man on the balcony with red eyes with his mouth gaping open, like a scream face... we live on the 3rd floor and the only access to that balcony is from inside. Needless to say I didnt turn around."

"He's said so much weird things.. we live in a really really old apartment, and I dont believe in ghosts, but he creeps me out. Edit: He’s also mentionned a little boy upside down scratching at the ceiling... just casually like it was nothing. On the mean time im shitting myself."

15. crayold_lady's son admitted he's an alien.

"When he was around 2 1/2 my son and I were driving home at night. Car seats were in the front then (30 years ago). He turned to me and said "I am not from here". I asked him where he was from. He explained to me that our world is a bubble amongst countless other bubbles. He said he was from another bubble. I don't think I even answered him.... :0"

16. LCarkuff's daughter saw right through the monitor.

"I looked at the video monitor to make sure my 2-year old daughter was finally asleep since she hadn’t made noise in awhile. I see her standing up in her crib. She slowly bends over to the side, cocks her head towards her knee, and says “hi”.

"How did she know I was looking at the monitor at that exact moment?! Plus, the way she was bent at the waste looked humanly impossible, and the night vision function made her eyes look so creepy."

17. lostmyempathy's daughter somehow knows about grandma's suicide.

"My 4 year old talks about death a lot- dead pets, dead family members- weird but whatever. The one that freaks me out is when she mentions “my dead grandma that got shot”.

"We never talk about my husband’s mom, who took her own life when my husband was a teenager. I’m a skeptic when it comes to the supernatural but it makes me wonder."

18. raybaroune's daughter used to watch her sleep.

"My oldest daughter usually stands beside my bed at night. When she was 5 yo she already had long black hair. The creepy part was that she just stood there not even tried to wake me or my wife up. She were just standing there for two or three hours watching us. When she finished looking at us she'd go back to her bed and sleep like nothing happens. That was a really creepy time of my life. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night cause of an urgent need to pee and looking directly at her eyes."

19. Adiraiju's cousin was saved by a magic turtle.

"Back in the mid-60s, my cousin's family lived out near the ocean on the coast of Japan. It wasn't so built up back then, and they lived near a rocky cliff where a small lighthouse sat."

"My cousin was maybe 8 at the time, but he was sort of obsessed with turtles. He had a pet turtle with an odd name, and he took very good care of it, to the point where he didn't have much of a social life. It was a wild turtle he'd caught, and since he was missing out on socializing anyway, his parents eventually convinced him to let the turtle go. He let it go in a small pond nearby, but he'd go out to talk to it every day."

"Anyway, one day there was a big downburst coming up from the sea, it came out of nowhere and was absolutely ferocious. My cousin was caught out in the open and ran to the lighthouse for protection. The storm passed in a few minutes, but the sea was so ferocious that the lighthouse crumbled under the waves.

My cousin was found slightly dazed but unharmed, sitting a few hundred yards from the rubble."

"Anyway, my cousin doesn't remember this today, but his parents told me that he wouldn't shut up about how his turtle had turned giant, come out of the sea, and caught him before flying away. His English wasn't the best, but he just kept repeating the same thing:

"Gamera is friend to children!""

20. Kaiosully thoroughly scared their mom when they were a child.

"Am the child, but my mom told me when I was about 3 I told her, very calmly, that “the voices in my head are telling me to kill myself”. I still don’t really believe her but that’s not really something she’d lie about. Haven’t heard voices since so maybe they killed themselves?"

21. weird_emo_person1's child spotted their sleepwalking neighbor.

"My son woke me up at about 2 a.m, in fear. We live in a one-story house, so his window is facing towards the street on a ground-level. He told me there was a man outside looking back at him. I follow him back, and sure enough, our neighbor was looking into the window. I asked him what he was doin, he didn't answer. I called my husband to come and when he got there, he walked away. The next day I asked my neighbor if he recalled the events of that night and he said no. Probably sleepwalking. Scared the shit out of me."

"edit: to clear things up, no cops were called. he was probably sleepwalking, probably no intent to hurt. my husband did go over there and smack him. they moved out a few weeks later."

22. lukan2's niece and her neighbors see the same man in the woods.

"I'm just the uncle, and my SIL would be the one to ask for all the details, but I my niece apparently has an invisible friend with a blue face and red hair. SIL thought it was just an imaginary friend, until she talked with other parents and figured out that all the kids living in their neck of the woods have apparently seen the same man, blue face and red hair, but none of their classmates who live farther away did. Niece apparently gets frustrated sometimes when she points at an empty spot and says "He is right here! You don't see him?" This is something several neighbors have reported their kids did as well."

23. astute_owl's daughter has a whole different life.

"We've always been careful about not watching anything scary or reading scary books, but as soon as she was old enough to really talk (about 2.5) she told us randomly one day:"

"I used to live in a different house with a mommy and a brother named John. I was older than I am now. One day I was on the bridge looking into the water when a witch came up and scratched out my eyes. I fell in the water and drowned, and then I came to you."

"I don't believe in past lives or anything and I know kids are just highly suggestible but that gave me the damn creeps."

24. fatlittleyorkies watched a girl idealize murder.

"Kid's friend hit a bubble and it split into two bubbles. She said it gave birth and was romantic. Then she pooped them and said "murder is more romantic""

25. RPGWarMonger's nephew saved their life.

"I'm an uncle, but my nephews and I are like father and sons, although it's been a while since I last saw them. One day, they came in from playing outside saying,"There's a man in the cane field". I went to check it and found some guys in full black with bats and knives just waiting. They ran when they saw the house was full, but if I never went to check, I might not be here today."

"Edit:Wow, this is the best any of my comments have ever done. Thank you all for the upvotes.

Edit pt.2:Ok, yea, this is blowing up. Guess I should start commenting on Hot posts instead of just New posts."

26. LilMamaSquirt's daughter was waiting for her.

"I woke up one morning to my 3 year old daughter standing over me staring. As soon as she saw me wake up she said "I've been waiting for you mommy."

27. TheKatyisAwesome's son sees hanging victims.

"He stared at the corner and said. “Why is that man watching us? And why is his head like this?” Then he turned his head at a sharp angle, similar to how a hanging victim would look. I tried to look up deaths/suicides at our house and could find anything but needless to say it freaked me the fuck out."

28. epicnormalcy tried to meet their friends in the meadow.

"I was the child. Some background info: grew up in the country in the Midwest. We do t lock our doors around here, at least not in the country. We had a wood burning stove so had a logging road in our “back yard” that lead into a meadow and then into woods where we would get our firewood. There is a surprising amount of local UFO stories in my particular corner of Wisconsin but at the time this story takes place I didn’t know what an alien was or any of the stories or anything. I was about 4."

"One night my mom woke up to the sound of our front door opening and closing. She grabs a knife and goes out to investigate. In the light of the yard-light she sees bitty me walking barefoot out towards the logging road. She runs outside and grabs me and asks me what do I think I’m doing?!"

"Me: “I have to go visit my friends.”

Mom: “what?! What friends?”

Me: my new friend, they told me to meet them in the meadow.”

I ended up explaining to my mom that my new friends can talk to me in my wad without being near me, that they don’t wear clothes and they want to take me on a trip."

"There have been several cases of mutilated cattle over the years and if you ask the right questions to the right people...loads of stories of lights in the sky and strange figures and what have you. My grandpa refused to ever talk about “the night”. All I know is the cattle were mutilated, my grandma cried if you brought it up and my grandpa would not let anyone talk about it in his presence. Since then, I have seen some pretty strange shit out at the farm. I do remember needing to meet my friends in the meadow."

29. shahajada12's daughter saw a man in the closet.

"While changing my daughter in front of the open closet door. She kept looking around me and laughing. I asked her what was so funny. She said, "the man." To which I replied, "what man?" She then pointed at the closet and said, "the man with the snake neck." I turn around and nothing was there. I'm afraid to look into the history of my house to see if anyone hung themselves in the closet. At least she wasn't scared."

30. rhgarton incepted their mom's dream.

"I was the child. Mum was dreaming that my uncle was in the garden and it was snowing so she was desperately trying to get him to come inside. At 4 years of age I ran into her bedroom, woke her up and said "Mum mum mum! You've got to get uncle Paul out of the garden it's snowing!"

She freaked out."

Joe Biden flipping out at an activist has been memeified, young lady.

0
0

Joe Biden is doing a great job running for president, if the point of running for president is to burn all the goodwill you have with the younger generation and piss off everyone under the age of 40.

The former vice president proudly declared that he has"no empathy" for millennials, and it shows. His history with women is a touchy subject—no pun intended—and when a Wisconsin activist asked him to protect assault survivors, he got extremely defensive and all up in her grill (do people still say "all up in your grill"?).

"Nobody has spoken about it, done more, or changed more than I have," a defensive superlative that sounds unsettlingly Trumpian.

The activist, K.C., elaborated on what the interaction was like, and described Biden's finger-wagging as "undeniably an intimidation tactic."

"He leaned forward, raised his voice, tried to grab my arm with his free hand. For a hot sec I thought he was going to hit me," she explained.

She also explained why she didn't bite his finger off.

The tweet has gone viral, with pundits pointing out the irony in Biden's posture.

As is part of the life cycle of a famous photo, Uncle Joe's tantrum became a meme among the youths he despises so much.

If you're thinking, "Hey! That was yesterday. Biden hasn't done anything weird since," well...

Joe Biden, you should have just stayed retired and eaten your ice cream.

Man claims women soccer players don't deserve equal pay. The internet drop kicks him.

0
0

Compared to the gender parity progress in other areas of professional life, the world of professional sports still has a long ways to go. First of all, female athletes get paid far less than their male counterparts regardless of skill level. For example, the U.S. women's soccer team has won four Olympic gold medals, while their male counterparts have won zero, and yet they are paid barely over a third of what their male cohorts make.

Even worse yet, the pay gap in professional basketball is even more extreme, with WNBA players earning roughly a fifth of what their NBA counterparts make.

To add to all of this, dismissive and sexist cultural attitudes towards female athletes persist, through both hack jokes and a general lack of media coverage focusing on female athletes.

Luckily, not everyone subscribes to the large overvaluing of male athletes, and when a man on Twitter tried to make fun of women's soccer by posting a clip of a specifically bad throw-in, he was quickly dragged for his hypocrisy.

People were quick to post clips of professional male soccer players making gaffes, while satirizing the concept of the men receiving equal pay.

Truly, Luke did not think this tweet through before hitting "post." Either that, or he secretly hoped he'd be inundated by clips of male soccer players failing.

The moral of the story, if there is any moral, is that sports are hard, and even the best professional athletes have mistakes here and there, regardless of gender.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson takes down pool pic of his daughter after being dad-shamed.

0
0

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a proud dad to three daughters. And he has no qualms about using social media to express his adoration for them.

IS THERE SOMETHING IN MY EYE?!

But even the best, most loving, and chiseled dads are no match for the judgmental eyes of the internet. Yesterday morning, The Rock posted a photo of himself and his 3-year-old daughter Jasmine at the pool—her perched on the edge, about to jump off, and him waiting to catch her, Yahoo reports. It sounds adorable, but most of us will never get to see it. Because the famous dad was forced to delete the photo after throngs of commenters criticized him for the pic because Jasmine, who is THREE, is not wearing a bathing suit.

“I'd never post a pic of my child naked in a pool on social media...I understand the message that is being conveyed but there are some messed up people out there,” one commenter wrote, according to Yahoo.

Other comments reportedly included: “Why would you expose a young child’s body to millions of people?” “Why is she naked though?” and “I love the Rock but this pic isn’t necessary for social media. They made bathing suits for a reason."

Other commenters came to The Rock's defense, pointing out that it's perfectly normal and not sexual at all for little kids to not wear a bathing suit while swimming. One commenter pointed out that it's the norm in Polynesian culture. “Those who are sexualizing this picture of his daughter because she is swimming with no clothes on obviously don’t know what it’s like to grow up in the islands or in a Polynesian house hold,” they wrote. “This is very normal and not sexual in any way with our culture.”

Here are more commenters defending his not-creepy choice to post the photo:

Still, I respect his choice to remove the photo. Because no dad wants to be accused of putting his daughter's safety and well-being in jeopardy. The internet may be harsh. But The Rock's love for his family is not.

On the bright side, at least it's a dad and not a mom being shamed for once! Good job, internet a**holes with too much free time, on smashing that glass ceiling.


Woman says she was 'raised to take care' of her future husband. It majorly backfired.

A woman on Twitter is getting roasted after posting a peak "not like other girls" tweet about how she plans to be an old-fashioned wife. Now, obviously, everyone's relationship style is their own business, and how you choose to divvy up housework and emotional support in a relationship is between you and your partner.

However, it's a whole different animal when you proudly announce your opinion on Twitter, with a prescriptive tone that indicating your relationship style is somehow more wholesome and feminine than others.

Needless to say, when a woman on Twitter named Brylea Kay posted about her plans to take care of her husband, and the kind of wife she'll be, it hugely backfired.

The feelings of cringe abounded, and her mentions were soon flooded with variations of "WTF" and "are you okay?!"

Some people could only muster GIFs in response, because words failed to capture the emotional exhaustion caused by her tweet.

Others, mostly straight women in relationships, pointed out how her framing of a marital connection came across uneven and unhealthy.

The meme responses are truly a celebration of all that is beautiful on the internet.

Again, there is nothing wrong with her wanting to cook or clean for a future husband, what most people took issue with was the way it was expressed, and the antiquated gender roles attached.

Even with all the backlash, it's safe to say that Brylea got her point across, and now thousands of people online know what kind of wife she wants to be.

Teen goes viral after posting about her cheating ex. People had her back until the story changed.

I can only imagine what it's like being a teen in the age of social media. In my day (wow I am "In my day..." years old), we had live journal and AIM away messages, which only three of your closest friends read, on a good day. We definitely attempted to broadcast all of our personal drama to the world, but we didn't have the tools to be successful at it. Now, that's not the case. Teens have access to social media and can easily give the world an inside look at their personal lives. Imagine if all of your thoughts as a moody teen were made public for all of the internet to see. I just cringed thinking about it.

Here is a perfect example of how teens being able to broadcast their lives online can backfire. A young woman who goes by 'kylie fucking jean' on Twitter recently posted about how she was paying her boyfriend back after he cheated on her. In a move of absolute savagery, she logged onto his Snapchat and posted some photos.

Things were off to a great start here. Most people online were totally on her side, and came out of the woodwork to let her know that this man didn't deserve her in the first place.

She even stood up for the woman her ex cheated on her with, proving herself to be very mature.

But then things took an unexpected turn when she announced her and her boyfriend's reunion.

And people did a one-eighty and completely turned on her and withdrew their support.

But when people came for her, she stood up for herself:

People were all up in her business, which is rude, but to be fair she did post her business on a very public platform. People should respect her enough to approve of making her own choices, but it looks like she also learned that unfortunately most people often cannot be expected to do this, so it's sometimes best to leave your personal life offline.

And lastly, so all of us can sleep tonight instead of wondering how in the world this clown scored this mature, forgiving queen:

Homophobe gets roasted for complaining he can't buy shoes at Target during Pride.

Happy Pride!!!! It's the most wonderful time of the year for straight people to have meltdowns over not getting enough attention, even though 11 months out of the year and 99.99% of history are catered to their hetersoexual, cis-gendered needs. Case-in-point: a guy named Aaron Clarey recently took to Twitter to complain about Target having the audacity to celebrate Pride Month.

First of all, this is what Aaron Clarey looks like:

LOL

This campy cartoon villain was seemingly very upset when he entered Target and was presented with a display of *clutches fedora* RAINBOWS!! THE HORRORS!!

So he took to Twitter, a public website, where he wrote "F*ck you #TARGET . i just want some God damned shoes."

Big mistake, buddy. BIG mistake. There's a lot wrong with this tweet, and not just his heterosexual fragility or the fact that he didn't even tag Target correctly.

People quickly hopped into his replies to respond to him whining about not being able to get any shoes....... by directing him to the SHOE DEPARTMENT. You know, where shoes are sold.

Like so many dumb tweets, this one quickly became a hilarious meme.

While others are dragging his hat, as they should.

Sometimes you just have to love the internet.

Nothing says "oops I did a dumb tweet" like 44 retweets compared to 1.4 THOUSAND comments. That's what we call getting "ratio'd" to oblivion. Oh no homophobey, what IS you doing?! Someone show this man the "delete" button so he can delete this very bad tweet along with his entire wardrobe and personality.

We've all had problems with autocorrect changing our texts in embarrassing ways. A lot of awkward moments have been caused by this handy piece of technology. I'll never forget the time autocorrect accidentally sent the word "penis" to my grandma, or the time autocorrect burned my ex-boyfriend's house down. Autocorrect, you crazy.
