Ever walked in on or discovered something you weren't supposed to see? The experience can be exciting or funny, or it can leave indelible psychological and emotional scars, especially if it involves your parents', err, romantic lives [gag]. Someone recently asked Reddit: "What was something you saw you were definitely not supposed to see?" And lots of people are revealing the unforgettable, sometimes traumatizing, things they accidentally witnessed.

Turns out, everyone's parents' are pervs. And also, life is a house of horrors, so always knock twice, and loudly.

1.) From BougieB_83:

My severance check. Apparently someone at the payroll company addressed it to me instead of HR. Opened it at my desk and laughed, packed up my shit and left.

2.) From -NoFaithInFate-:

I found a letter between my parents back when my dad was in the army (10 years before I was born) when cleaning out the house. He was saying how they should get a divorce because it just wasn't seeming to work out. When I was 16 they did end up getting a divorce, I've never talked to them about it.

3.) From TheGooOnTheFloor:

Leaving work late one evening, I saw the HR director and CFO in a dark office shredding papers (no, that's not an euphemism). I didn't say anything but quietly walked on down the hall. Two weeks later we were raided by the SEC and several people were charged with cooking the books.

4.) From matunascraft:

Back in 1997, I started work at a new job and took over the office of a salesman who had recently been fired. I was in IT, using the same computer that had been setup for Sales. My first task was to install all the software I'd need.

The computer hard drive was almost full, so I poked around and found a TON of folders filled with porn. Went to my supervisor, and he said to delete it, warning me that the salesman had been fired for downloading porn.

Over the next few weeks, I kept finding secret porn folders on the the company's network. Not only had he downloaded enough porn to max out his computer's HD, he had the network at about 90% capacity.

When I was done deleting all the folders I could find, the server capacity was less than 50%. Dude was seriously addicted to porn.

5.) From my-darling-nikki:

Just 2 days ago, at a community pool, a teenage couple who entered into the pool area went into the hot tub. Stood up to stretch my legs and looked over to, well, sex in the hot tub. It was mid day!! I cringed pretty hard... but I laughed even harder when the neighborhood cop showed up.

6.) From Joe1972:

I once arrived early to pick up a girl for a first date. She was renting a small garden apartment behind a bigger house. It was just after dusk and I walked around the corner. The sliding door was standing open and she was inside walking around, brushing her hair, wearing only her underwear. She did not see me, so I just walked back around that corner and waited another 10 minutes. When I walked round again she had a dress on. I never told her.

edit: Since a few asked. The date went well. I only got to see her underwear again several weeks later.

7.) From mbaarf:

I was downloading a game on my uncle's computer. So i was looking for the files to complete the setup and i clicked on a file called games. Few videos popped up so the curious girl that i am i clicked on one and there was it, a Chinese girl literally f*cking her couch. That was my first porn experience, i was 7 and my sister was 5. And it doesn't stop there, we decided to show our mom, i'll never forget the trauma on her face.

8.) From theunicornbort:

When I was about 16, I was snooping in my parent's wardrobe. Found a diary written by my mother when she was 14 (from the year 1970). Read some beautiful and brilliantly written entries about meeting and dating my dad (who was 16 at the time). Had to read a little between the lines in some slightly later entries as they were written with such flowery language. In one such entry, all of a sudden she discloses that she's had an abortion. Performed by my grandfather. An anesthesiologist. She never told anyone.

9.) From iliketoeatfunyuns:

I was in elementary school playing basketball, I shot the ball but it ended up going over the fence on the other side was someone's backyard. My teacher requested that after school I knock on the door of the house where the ball had landed to get it back and so I did. I did not expect a woman wrapped in a towel with one of her nipples revealed to answer the door. I was shocked but carried on with my mission.

For those wondering, she stated she did not have the ball.

10.) From hp5log:

My FIL sent a dick pick to my wife on accident...yes his own daughter....luckily, I picked up her phone first and saw it. I was so confused at first and then realized what happened and started dying laughing! It was his shaft and there was an old spice deoderant stick hiding the head of his penis and the caption read, "Is this what you want?"

As soon as i laughed, she came over and the phone rang, it was her dad calling. I threw it at her because there was no way in hell i could answer it and not be cackling. Poor guy was crying and apologizing and she said she had no idea what was going on but would delete the picture before even looking at it. She got off the phone, deleted the pic and then was mortified when i told her. It's my favorite family story....she wouldn't let me get him an old spice deoderant stick for Christmas :(

11.) From CYAAfghanistan:

David Copperfield show: I was at an angle that allowed me to see the volunteers running out from the stage during a disappearing act.

12.) From ctd994:

I found a suitcase full of dildos under my moms bed when I was 8.

13.) From fap_nap_fap:

Back when I was a teenager, we hosted a New Zealander at our house for a couple weeks. Guy gets to our place after the flight, and about 10 minutes later I’m walking around my house to see where he’s at. The door to his room is partially open, and the dude is laying face down on the bed and HUMPING THE EVERLOVING F*CK out of a pillow. I backed away slowly like Homer when he saw Apu cheating on his wife.

I felt bad for the pillow.

Edit: for all of you asking - no, it was not a wool pillow and it didn't resemble a sheep

14.) From ClutchKickAutos55:

My mom gave me an old laptop of hers when I was about 13 and I was scrolling through random pics she had left on it of my little brothers football games and then boom, nudes of my mother.

15.) From higgs8:

Years ago a colleague had an old smartphone that he brought in to give to another coworker as theirs broke. The phone was sitting on the new owners desk but she hadn't yet tried it out, as it was still charging after months of not being used. We were talking about how cool it was with the coworker (smartphones were not widespread yet), and I picked it up to see how it felt in my hand. I pressed a button and the first thing that I saw was a Google search for "lump on anus". I quickly put the phone back down.

This must have been the last thing he searched for when he last used it a long time ago, and forgot about it...

16.) From TheLaudMoac:

Borrowed my Dad's camera, found out he was gay.

17.) From alyx1258:

When I was 11 i walked into my mum's bedroom and saw my mum and her husband doing a 69.

We never spoke about it.

Years later when I was 24 she walked into my bedroom and saw my bf naked with a boner.

We never spoke about that either.

18.) From heuristichuman:

My dad’s AA chips. Learned it’s why my parents got divorced. Proud of him for being in recovery though.

19.) From idiedforwutnow:

Me and a friend snuck away from a house party at 2am once, we wanted to go to this local abbey. We were exploring the grounds and generally having a nice time when we see two cars stop nearby.

Instinctively we hid in some bushes and witnessed what was clearly a large drug trade.

We definitely were not supposed to see that. We waited for them to finish their business and then we headed back to the party.

20.) From __Z__:

my camp counselor’s penis

lock the bathroom door buddy

21.) From untg:

I found invitations to my big surprise 18th birthday just lying on the floor a few weeks before the event, I had to act surprised when the time came to walk through the door to the party, which I did. The only thing is, my twin brother also knew (which I didn’t know at the time) and lets just say his acting skills are really bad... So we both found out in different ways about the surprise party but neither of us knew that we found out about it. So when I walked through the door for the ‘surprise’, I could tell from his reaction that he knew...

22.) From RumpleJump:

Happened to a friend of mine. She was dating this dude forever, they broke up and he moved out, she was devastated. About a month later she was cleaning out old stuff and found a receipt for a ring that he had bought for her and never given her. That's how she found out that he had once intended to propose, before he fell out of love with her. She was hurt pretty bad about that.

23.) From PlasticEnthusiasm:

Happened when I was 7. I found the Tom and Jerry DVD I had lost, in the back of a drawer. In celebration, I decided to watch it again. By the time my mother walked into the living room and saw me watching a threesome, I was already scarred for life. She took away the entire DVD collection.

24.) From JonSOsugoi:

One time when I was around 9 years old, I woke up to take a leak in the middle of the night. I saw that the TV was still on in my parents room through the tiny opening in their bedroom door (my bathrooms near my parent's room). I went to check up on them, and when I opened the door... My God I can never erase what I saw.

I saw my mom on the edge of the bed and my dad eating her out with all his might. I literally said, "Mama?" and they didn't even hear me because they were so into it, so I just ran quickly back to my room.

I remember the next morning, during breakfast, I asked my mom if there's anymore juice left and she said, "There's no more. Your dad has the last cup of juice." And then my dad said, "You can drink the rest of it if you want." He offered his cup of juice to me and I looked at the rim of the cup and already felt sick to my stomach. I'm 20 now and I still can't believe I remember seeing that.

TLDR; saw my dad going to town on my mom in the middle of the night.

25.) From HeavyMetalHeartbreak:

My supervisor plowing an operator in the ass in the work showers.

He just looked at me, then looked back at dude's head and started going for broke.

I left. None of us ever acted like it happened.

26.) From sugaryheaven:

A woman using a sink as a bidet.

Keeping everyone on this list in my thoughts and prayers.

Spending money is easy, but making it is much harder. A lot of kids don't fully grasp the concept of money until they're forced to get their own jobs, do their own budgeting, and witness firsthand how hours worked translate into cash in pocket.

Weekly allowances can give kids a taste of what it feels like to regularly receive a paycheck, but the true meaning of budgeting doesn't hit home unless they're working for that check.

In order to give her kids a grasp of the true value of money, mother of three Shakeitha Marion McGregor responded to their allowance requests with a full-on DIY job fair.

When she shared her household "job postings" on Facebook, the post quickly went viral.

She wrote:

"So, my children continue to ask for a new cell phone, an allowance, and to go places. Yesterday I told them that I've heard their requests and that I'll have a surprise for them today when they get home from school. SURPRISE!!! It's a whole hiring event! 😂 If you want it, work for it, earn it! And yes, I also have an in home credit union lol #ThisMomMeansBusiness#IWonderWhoWillGetFiredFirst"
Update: With so much love here I've created a new page for updates and more info:
www.facebook.com/thismommeansbusinessinc."

She posted three different job openings complete with descriptions of the required duties.

The Kitchen Manager is responsible for keeping the kitchen clean and putting away all dishes. The Lead Housekeeper is in charge of cleaning the living room, hallway and bathroom, and also gets the power to delegate others to keep their stuff tidy. Last, but not least, the Laundry Supervisor makes sure that all housemates keep their laundry clean and off the floor.

McGregor made all of the salaries negotiable depending on the position and how well the interview went.

This will help teach her kids the real-life pressure of interviews, and how to financially advocate for themselves.

McGregor even created realistic job applications for her kids, so they could get firsthand experience with the grueling pain of applying for gigs.

The applications include sections for past experience, desired salary, and shift availability. If they can master this process as children, they'll be light years ahead of their peers as adults.

She even created a home-based credit system to teach her kids about building credit.

I am a full-grown adult and still need this lesson.

McGregor doesn't sugarcoat the workforce experience for her kids either, her son received a rejection letter after he applied for a job recently filled by his sister.

We've all been there.

In fact, her original post and This Mom Means Business page became so popular she now offers customized employment sets for parents looking to create a similar system for their kids.

McGregor's creativity has already inspired scores of parents to follow her lead by teaching their kids about the value of hard work and money.

What a week.

My world's on fire, how 'bout yours? Here are some great tweets from women. That's the way I like it and I never get bored.

The people have spoken, and they love a bridezilla story. And who am I to deny the people?! Fortunately, there's no shortage of bridezilla stories on the internet. It seems that these deranged brides leave a trail of trauma in their wake and the internet has provided those affected by bridezillas a support group where they can heal.

One of these people shared their story on Facebook after a bridezilla left them "stupified." They wrote:

Ok, I contemplated posting on this, but as time passes, I grow more inclined to do so, and I seriously need your thoughts on this...not for a friend, but for me, as I'm completely stupefied by this happening," the person writes.

After receiving a "beautiful wedding invitation," the person RSVP'd and days later received a voicemail from the bride asking for $150.00 to cover dinner at the wedding for $75.00 per person.

The Facebook post continues:

We received the most beautiful wedding invitation via mail and have responded well before the deadline with our choice of dinner and space for two. Days later, we receive a sweet voice mail of thanks (for responding) followed by a REQUEST FOR $150.00 TO COVER DINNER AT $75.00pp!!! OK, WHAAAUUUTTT?!?!? ....

They were shocked, so they asked their Facebook friends if "anyone has ever heard of this happening."

Has anyone ever heard of this happening??? What in all of creation on planet earth?!?! Btw, This is not a destination wedding and even at those we've attended, we've NEVER had to PAY for a plate!! Help!!

Seems like nobody had, as the person followed up in a comment to say that a few people suggested they reach out to the bride.

So they contacted the bride to express "concern" about the dinner fee. The bride did not take it well and threw a fit, saying either the person has to pay the fee or they can't go to the wedding.

Okay, at the suggestion of a few very dear people, I had a conversation during my lunch break that went something like this: "Hi love, we received your voice mail and had a bit of a concern about the fee for dinner. May we ask why there is?' Her response (I KID YOU NOT) "Who are you to ask about what I'm doing for my wedding?! I don't understand why all of these folks are declining after my calls to them like we're supposed to pay for everybody to damn eat. It's "my" wedding! You either pay or don't come!"

The person explained to the bride that it was "in poor taste" to ask for a fee after the guests have already RSVP'd.

...............after about 7 seconds of silence on my end and a big......[eyes emojis] to my phone, I politely said: "Darling, it's in poor taste to have sent invites, received rsvps, and follow up voice notes to pay for the meal....Had the invite been printed with caveats beforehand, your invited guests could decide from there on whether or not they are to attend. I don't appreciate the tone you've taken with me when my question has come from a genuine place."

The bride said that the person must either pay or "don't come." So the person, like so many other guests apparently, rescinded their invitation.

Her response: "Well you've heard what I've said, either pay or don't come." My response "Our acceptance is rescinded and you have a good life." Terminates call....... Inhale.......Exhale....... OK, whaaaauuuutttt in the hell on earth did I experience???? I've not been right for the remainder of this day and I still have 4 hours left of it........

The screenshots were shared on Reddit, where commenters had a field day ripping this entitled bride to shreds for her unacceptable (and sneaky) ploy to extort money from her wedding guests.

Many pointed out it's no surprise so many guests pulled out.

unknownxk writes:

It’s my wedding! You either pay or you don’t come!

Well prepare for a wedding with no one attending then, bitch

And whateverspicegirl writes:

This has got to be the worst breach of etiquette I've ever heard of!!!!! I hope exactly zero guests attend this wedding. OP, you might need to stake out the venue to find out how many were willing to pay!!!

Others are sharing similar stories of brides who tried to charge guests and ended up with very intimate weddings.

cottoncloud101 writes:

I've seen one bride going as far as demanding the min. price for their wedding gifts to be 200 euros (~250$). She said this was because she "doesn't want any random garbage and it's not THAT much money you can save up". To no-one's surprise, the guests weren't on board with this and the wedding had to turn into "a small gathering with only people closest to us".

And Mesapholis writes:

We had one of these cases where the bride RSVPed with a list of demands (outfit in pastel tones you MUST buy, pay for the hotel and a minimum value monetary wedding gift plus one of the very brand name items from these wedding lists you can make)

180 guests were supposedly invited, but the majority was confused after the demands came; the bride than said in a fit of anger how they were expecting the guests to pay for her dream wedding + partly first house purchase

She was very upset when declines started pouring in, because she already ordered the food for the initial RSVP

Honestly, in bridezilla world (the world's scariest theme park), $75 per guest is not even that steep. Never forget the bride who tried to charge guests $3,000 a pop to attend her destination wedding. Dream on, darling.

If you've ever worked as a barista, server, or bartender, you know that half of the job involves remembering regulars and making them feel special. To a jealous partner, typical barista banter can look like flirting, but 90 percent of the time it's just someone doing their job well.

Unless a barista is overtly hitting on your partner, it's best to assume their friendliness is coming from a place of innocence. Otherwise, you may end up looking both paranoid and controlling in a place of business.

In a recent post on the subreddit Am I The *sshole, a guy asked if he was wrong for telling the barista his girlfriend is spoken for.

"AITA for telling the barista that my girlfriend is with me?​​​​​​

Basically I'm 25m and she's 23F.

She gets company credit for food and drinks as she works for like a week at a time. She cooks all her own food and uses that money to buy a coffee each morning. She always goes to the same coffee shop."

OP kicked off the post by sharing that his girlfriend goes to the same coffee shop every week, and she mentioned a very pretty man working there.

OP said they're both very comfortable talking about attraction, and that she made it clear she's not actually into the barista.

"Me and my gf are very comfortable and she's bi so sometimes we will both say how hot a girl is or whatever. She always says the guy who serves her coffee is "beautiful", she confirmed that she wasn't attracted to him but that he was stunning and a very pretty man. That was fine. Anyway, so she goes in every day and always has stories to tell about the guy behind the counter. I trust her ENTIRELY, I know she doesn't really want him and wouldn't do anything."

When OP went into the coffee shop to grab his girlfriend a drink, the barista immediately recognized her order.

Feeling a bit threatened by the exchange, OP decided to let the barista know that he's Emma's boyfriend. The barista was completely chill about it and laughed during the exchange.

"Anyway, I went in the other day and straight away knew who she meant as this gorgeous long haired dude took my order. I ordered her favourite drink as she was at home and I shit you not he said "oh is that for Emma?" And when I looked shocked he went "I just know that's her usual, no one else really orders it". I said yes, it is but by the way pal, she has a boyfriend and it's me. The guy kinda laughed and i said that I appreciate he's doing his job but to lay off her as in my eyes, I think he was flirting. He laughed again and said sure thing."

When OP's girlfriend returned from the coffee shop a few days later she was livid at him for confronting the barista.

OP claimed she had been hiding him, which he denied, and she went on to reveal that the barista is gay and has a boyfriend.

"I didn't tell my gf who went to get coffee a few days later and came home raging, saying how dare I embarrass her like that. This pissed me off cause why doesn't she want him to know?! She said she already mentioned me and that the guy is gay and she knows his boyfriend. Fair, innocent mistake on my behalf but the gf never told me this beautiful man was gay."

Now, OP's girlfriend refuses to speak to him, and he's unsure about how he handled the situation.

"She stormed out and still won't speak to me without making sly digs.

AITA?

Tl;Dr told the barista that my gf wasn't single and was with me as I thought they were flirting."

secretsinjars thinks OP should apologize to both the barista and his girlfriend.

"YTA. He knew her order and was being friendly, because that's literally his job. Apologise to your girlfriend for your insecurities and also the barista next time you're in there for acting like a dick."

hsksksjejej suggested a less awkward way to communicate boyfriend status.

"Yeah like you could have said' hey yeah it is for Emma that's my girlfriend" and it has the same effect of letting him know that she s ur gf of there was even the minutest of chances that was concern and assuage your insecurities. But like he wasn't even flirting wtf."

KingOfTheCouch13 thinks OP messed up and should've just been kind and chill.

"Yeah he could have even *conveyed the same message without the caveman behavior.

"Yeah this is her drink. You must be the barista she's mentioned. I'm her bf, nice to meet you."

irisshadow pointed out that it's literally the barista's job to remember names and orders.

"YTA. He knows her name and order because she goes EVERYDAY. It’s not a surprise. Just because he remembers her doesn’t mean he was flirting with her. He’s doing his job"

Hopefully, OP listens to the wisdom of the internet and returns to give the barista a big tip. Remembering Emma's name and order is just a sign that he's good at his job.

From the studio that brought you countless bridezillas it's.........guestzilla?

The happiest days of people's lives tend to bring out the worst in everyone, particularly this guest, who had the audacity to reply that they will not be brining a plus one, but a plus TWENTY ONE?!?! The only reasonable explanation is that the invitee is in a polygamist cult, and it was against their religion not to bring all twenty-one of their spouses.

Posted on Wedding Shaming by u/puppypuppyl0v3, this guest and their chutzpah is going viral.

As you can see on the reply card, the person didn't circle whether or not they'd attend, but they did kindly mention that they will be bringing an additional "14 adults (+2 more)" and "3 (kids) +1 more) and what appears to be two babies?

People have theories at who this person audacious, popular person might be to the couple.

"I bet it was parents/in laws who were trying to squeeze their guests in," Jovet_Hunter wrote.

"This reeks of a MIL that didn’t get to invite all her FRIIIEEENNNDDDSSSSS!!!!" agreed -janelleybeans-.

All is forgiven though since the person has a good taste in music.

"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself."

-Josh Billings

A hair salon owner's response to a one-star review was shared on Reddit and people can't get over the customer's outrageously entitled behavior.

The woman's complaint, which she emphasizes with multiple exclamation points, is that the salon wouldn't offer her a refund after she arrived 15 minutes late to her appointment.

She writes:

Watch up!!!! Be careful!!!!! If you're late to arrive this shop(even you got traffic jam and stuck on the way), they won't provide any service for you and they won't refund either, you paid already and get nothing because you're late arriving 15 minutes. They didn't accept to change another time or date. They just rejected to refund and rejected to do any service !!

While this is a strict policy, it's not unreasonable and ultimately benefits other customers, who won't be forced to wait. Also, according to the person who posted the screenshot on Reddit, the policy is "specified very clearly in their booking terms."

The policy is not out-of-line, but this customer's response to it sure was. According to the owner's response to the review, she copped an attitude, was rude, and then called the police.

The owner writes:

In almost 7 years of business running a beauty salon we have never ever encountered a customer call 999 because we could not serve them. You arrived 15 minutes late for your appointment without bothering to call/text/email and let us know. As a busy salon we cannot just allow everyone to arrive 15 minutes late for their appointment without bothering to call/text/email and let us know. As a busy salon we cannot just allow everyone to arrive 15 minutes late for their appointments as this inconveniences not just us but the rest of our clients that day. We will always endeavour to accomodate where we can but ultimately we have a business to run and don't want to inconvenience other clients due to your lateness. Your attitude, rudeness and calling 999 (!) was never going to change our mind and undertake your treatment. As you know your booking was made via [redacted] and we spoke to them whilst you were in the salon. They confirmed that a refund was not authorised due to the circumstances. As a responsible business, please do not use the police for petty matters such as this and allow them to get on with their jobs. Thankfully their response was exactly the same - do not waste police time. [Redacted], Director

That response is what people who spend a lot of time on the internet would describe as a murder.

After the savage response went viral on Reddit, commenters are taking the salon's side. Most are actually commending them for their anti-lateness and anti-refund policy.

Much_Difference writes:

Non-refundable policies are such a headache to deal with but holy shit can they be helpful. 90% of the heavy lifting those policies do is just discourage flaky people from booking at all. I worked for a place that did appointments and we finally had to create a non-refundable deposit policy because so many people didn't give half a shit about showing up unless they already invested some money in it. They'd call up and be like "yeah yeah sure Thursday at 3 k whatever see you then" and when we phoned them at 3:15 on Thursday they'd be like "o lol yah changed my mind cancel the appointment." Even if the prepayment is like $10 people will move heaven and earth to not waste that $10.

I can promise you this person's gonna read the fine print and not sign up for non-refundable services again.

And Sketch3000 writes:

I have spent far too many haircuts waiting for my turn while the person before me is still finishing up well after my scheduled start time.

I would happily support someone who didn't allow appointments to start late.

As far as calling the police over a business dispute? Everyone seems to agree that is absolutely unacceptable.

uid_0 writes:

There is a special place in hell reserved for people who call emergency services because they have a dispute with a business.

I feel badly for the manager of that special place in hell, because lord knows they're getting a lot of complaints. "It's too hot!" "There's flames everywhere!" "I'm calling the police!"

Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.

What IS glamour, exactly? To me, glamour is reveling in your own luxury. It could be sinking into a warm bath drawn for one, relishing the taste of cordial cherries, or sipping champagne on a couch. It's donning a fur coat to run errands and ordering champagne at breakfast. Glamour doesn't necessitate buying expensive things; it just requires the space and time to indulge one's fantasies. It's a respite from the mundanity and tedium of everyday life.

So when writer Rachel Syme asked yesterday...

...she received hundreds of responses and sparked a must-read Twitter thread.

Note to self: buy new bedding.

You deserve to treat yourself sometimes!

This woman is a downright glamourpuss.

The single life done right.

Someone shares my priorities (food > everything else).

God, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a warm, scented bath.

Joke or not, I'm craving read meat now.

*tattoos 'Chandelier Life' on lower abdomen*

...wait, butt masks?!

My apartment could definitely use a cleaning, professional or otherwise.

Quality over quantity, doll.

Champagne makes any occasion a celebration.

Glamour, thy name is @gleegz.

Fox Nation personality Tomi 'Tammy' Lahren lit up the Internet this week, but this time it wasn't for an incendiary remark or misguided political take. She debuted her new athleisure line Freedom in partnership with Alexo Athletica. Just what the free market wanted: Lulelemon, but make it Kaitlin Bennett. Wait, sorry, there's absolutely zero consumer demand for that? Interesting. I guess not many women want to brand themselves as regressive dipsh*ts at yoga class.

Tomi bravely overcame obstacles like her personality and lack of fashion expertise to deliver a line of generic athleisure that's vaguely patriotic.

The product launch bewildered Twitter at best.

Welcome to the fashion world, Tawny! Watch out for models' sharp elbows and mean gay stylists, both of which are cutting.

These memes are a little raunchy, but we won't judge you for laughing. We'll judge you for other reasons, but definitely not for laughing.

Barack and Michelle Obama have famously good taste in music. It's a known fact. So when they shared their summer 2019 playlist on Twitter yesterday, everyone took notice.

A Good Samaritan has already compiled the playlist on Spotify, so you can listen ASAP.

With forty-four tracks in total (get it?), it clocks in at almost three hours - the perfect soundtrack to a late-summer barbecue, beach trip, or rooftop party. It features plenty of contemporary and vintage R&B, rock, and hip-hop jams. Personally, I'm thrilled by the inclusion of SZA, The Rolling Stones, and Lauryn Hill.

The Obamas' dispatch, per Barack's Twitter account, didn't disappoint.

Earlier this week, Teen Vogue writer and comedian Gabe Bergado tweeted something that changed the Internet's perception of Elizabeth Warren forever.

Warren's team quickly picked up on the favorable comparison. McGonagall is a no-nonsense pragmatist who becomes headmaster of Hogwarts after Dumbledore's death. She presides over the school as the wizarding world is thrown into chaos by Voldemort and his supporters' dark activities. Sound at all familiar?

Bergado's observation struck a chord with Twitter. For one thing, Warren herself responded (!).

It wasn't the first time she'd expressed a desire to slay Death Eaters - fictional or real.

Hardcore HP fans couldn't get enough of it.

Thank you, Gabe, for identifying why Liz's glasses and authoritative demeanor seemed so familiar. Note to self: don't forget to do your Transfiguration homework!

Rob Lowe has a great sense of humor, as his decades-long career in entertainment proves. He's weathered public scandals and professional missteps to become a respected actor, philanthropist, and spokesperson. His ability to roll with the punches is now clearest in his non-responses to son Johnny's Instagram trolling.

On virtually every photo, Johnny puts his rapier wit to good use and drags the fifty-five year-old 'Parks and Recreation' star. Arguably the funniest thing about it? Rob's mocked for nothing but being a typical Gen X parent who means well, but whose social media game isn't always on point. He might be untouchable to some, but to his sons he's simply a loving yet embarrassing father.

Johnny has the Internet in stitches.

A+ interfamily trolling. You love to see it!

If we know one thing about Donald Trump's political insecurities, it's that he's desperate to prove he's better than former President Barack Obama in any way.

I mean, remember how he spent his first few days in office apparently freaking out over the fact that his inauguration crowd size paled in comparison to Obama's? It was beautiful.

So after a weekend of Trump embarrassing the U.S. and himself left and right at the G7 Summit, Twitter users are rubbing his face in all the ways Obama has outdone him.

The trending topic #ObamaOutdidTrump has gotten over 125,000 tweets and counting. Here are some of the best.

This was the tweet that started it all:

It came from Jon Cooper, the New York chairman of the Democratic Coalition.

And it's true: Obama economy outdoes Trump's, especially now that a crash is allegedly looming.

Obama was better at making small talk with royalty than Trump.

He was also pretty good at not kissing dictators' asses.

He could hold babies without freaking out.

Obama was also better at winning the electoral college. And, crucially, the popular vote, which Trump did not.

Obama is literate, while we really have no proof that Trump has ever read, let alone written, a book.

Obama hasn't been accused of sexual harassment or assault.

Obama has a spouse who goes above merely tolerating his presence.

Obama got more votes than Trump (as did HIllary, if we're counting).

Obama is obviously better at sports than Trump, who's cartoonishly out of shape (and not exactly known as a team player).

Obama is also great at not making everyone in a 10-foot radius uncomfortable.

He has managed not to publicly creep out his children — while also hugging them enough so that they don't have to write stupid tweets for attention.

Obama also outdid Trump at being above the pettiness of Twitter — which guarantees that Trump will see and freak out about this hashtag.

And saddest of all for our current commander in chief, Obama has outdone him not only in electoral popularity but also Twitter following.

Ouch.

People have a lot of opinions about women who dare to have their own opinions about their engagement rings.

And today on Reddit, one soon-to-be bride is hand-wringing about whether her hope for a slightly nicer engagement ring makes her a terrible person.

The woman posted on Reddit's "Am I the A-hole?" section, "AITA for wanting a more extravagant engagement ring?"

Before you grab your pitchfork, hear her out.

This woman and her fiancé have already agreed to get married, but he's not giving her the ring until a ceremony later on, as this is the way it's done in his culture. He believes that she has no preferences about the ring, and is probably going to go as cheap as possible:

Now during the ceremony he is to give me a ring. I don’t normally place any value or importance on shiny, expensive luxury items and he knows this. So he just assumed I didn’t care about an engagement ring either. His plan as of now is to go to an accessory shop and get any cheap ring that won’t make my finger go green.

But the more she thinks about it, the more she wants a higher-end bauble.

"To my own surprise even, I’ve been quite sad about this," she writes. "To me this ring holds so much meaning and I want to wear it for the rest of my life."

She's done some research on possible rings, and they're all "way more expensive" than what her fiancé was planning.

"I don’t want any diamond ring because I find their pricing absurd, frankly, but would love a moissanite one because I love the look of it," she writes. "With the style I like it would come to about 600-900 dollars."

The bride-to-be adds that she'd help pay for the ring upgrade, and that she's willing to wait a while for it.

I don’t expect him to pay for it alone and would happily give him half (or more, since I’d be the one enjoying it haha). With all the costs surrounding our engagement ceremony it would be more financial pressure, which is why I was thinking we could get a “cheap” ring for the ceremony and then replace it with the one I want some months down the line when we can comfortably afford it together.

So onto the question: is she an a-hole?

One part me thinks it’s okay for me to want to be picky and want to spend more on something I hopefully will wear for the rest of my life. Another part feels like a massive asshole for I guess feeling what he’s thought of isn’t good enough and putting more financial pressure on us. So. AITA?

It turns out, for once, the people of Reddit are on the bride's side.

Many pointed to the relatively low price she mentioned. Yes, $900 is a lot of money — but in the grand scheme of engagement rings, it's on the very low side.

"I was about to call you an a-hole based on that title, thinking you wanted like a $75k ring but $600? Literally anyone with a job and a hair of financial prudence can afford that. He should have put more effort in," wrote FlowrollMB.

Another user said neither the bride and her groom are a-holes here, since he was acting on the belief that she didn't care — and she still hasn't corrected him:

I'd say [no a-holes here] considering he didn't know (just like op apparently didn't either), and she doesn't sound like she have told him. But op is definitely [not the a-hole], especially since she is thinking about paying

OP weighed in to confirm that she'd pay, and add that money's tight for both of them:

Yeah normally it wouldn’t be an issue for us either but the engagement is a huge production as it is, due to tradition especially for him and his family. We’re hemorrhaging money to get everyone here and situated amongst other things. So I understand we wouldn’t be able to just drop close to a thousand bucks on a ring without seriously having to cut back on more important things, we just didn’t budget for it. So waiting to get it would be way more sensible.

Paper_straws cautioned against letting the ring ceremony pass without the bride telling the groom she wants something more:

Make sure you let him know before the ceremony though, because once you already get one ring there is a high chance that you won’t get another.

And OP responded, "Yeah I think I’ll bring it up tomorrow! I’ve just been so nervous to bring this up and sound like a brat."

And wigglebuttbiscuits spoke for everyone when saying this bride-to-be is being incredibly realistic and prudent with her request:

I’m sure people will find a way to tell you you’re the asshole because iTs aBoUt tHe mARrIaGe but you want a nice but modestly priced ring and are down to pay half. Your fiancé is likely to be down with this and just doesn’t realize you care. Go for it!

So there you have it, OP. Go forth and request the ring you want!

Dads know that even though we all pretend to hate dad jokes, deep down we all love them.

A good dad joke is just as funny as it is silly, just as a ridiculous as it is groan-worthy. While there are some scary text messages you can receive from your dad regardless of how old you are (did you get health insurance yet? Do you have a 401k?) sometimes we all need a good laugh.

Without the internet, the effort a dad makes to execute a great prank would be strictly for his family. Luckily, one hilarious dad joke can travel the world in minutes thanks to Twitter and Instagram.

Here are some dads who are guaranteed to make you smile.

1. This dad who knows how to manage his daughter's finances.

2. Thanks for the update...

3. This dad who has no sympathy for heartbreak.

4. This dad who is clearly suffering a huge loss.

5. This is beautiful.

6. When you're a model.

7. Savage.

8. Pup cocktail.

9. This dad passing on valuable skills.

10. You have to be specific.

11. The literal dad.

12. The dad with the ultimate guilt trip.

13. Enjoy the gift!

14. Who doesn't love a good pun?

15. Nothing is normal.

The love between Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively is best expressed through public trolling. At least, that's what they want all the fans and voyeurs to believe.

In their universe of affectionate public humiliation, birthdays are a prime time to show off all the tricks they've saved up their sleeves to keep the marriage spicy. In the past, Reynolds has celebrated Lively's birthday with choice pictures cutting her out. In retaliation, she returned the favor by wishing Ryan Gosling a happy birthday instead of her husband.

Well, this year Reynolds upped the ante by posting a gallery full of unflattering photos of Lively.

The gallery includes some fantastic blinking action.

There is of course a photo where she is barely visible.

A call back to past shenanigans.

As well as this photo with delirious middle-of-the-night vibes.

There is a lot of mid-blink beauty in this collection, as well as backlighting.

The fact that Reynolds is mischeviously smiling in most of these only makes the trolling feel more pre-planned.

One of the photos is ALMOST there, which makes it even more painful.

They just need to keep their love still long enough to capture it in photo form.

Reynolds has kept an impressive number of photos of Lively blinking, it's likely he has a bank full ready for future birthdays.

The love is palpable in these photos.

Even if it's at Lively's expense.

Happy birthday Lively, the internet is eager to see what you cook up for Reynolds' birthday in October.
