Living with roommates during quarantine can be the absolute best or worst of times, depending on your relationship.

Cabin fever isn't nearly as bad if you're friendly with your housemates and able to come up with creative ways to pass the time during quarantine. Conversely, if you already had tension with your roommate before COVID-19, it's likely the global crisis isn't making dynamics any easier.

For better or worse, people have been posting on social media about how lockdown with roommates is going.

Here are just a few examples of what quarantine with housemates looks like, and the experiences run the gamut from delightfully wholesome to homicidal.

If you're a parent who's working from home while in quarantine with your kids, you're not alone (metaphorically, but also literally). Parents all over the world who are now working remotely, on top of their full-time job as a parent to restless kids, are going through the same thing. And I'm not kidding when I say you all deserve a medal of honor for your heroism.

Here are 19 funny and real posts about the challenges of balancing a full time job with being a full-time parent, all under one roof:

Even more stressful than doing a job, is trying to get a job.

Job interviews are like dates, but with your financial security at stake. And. like dates, the people you're meeting can ask some awkward and uncomfortable questions.

A popular thread asked,"What was the weirdest, most inappropriate or most unexpected thing you were asked during a job interview?"

Some of the questions, especially the ones about pregnancy and religion, are super illegal. The more you know...

1. From Monsterfruit:

I was asked if my breasts where real. We were talking about the uniform and my concerns over it not fitting. He said, well you should have thought of that. When I asked what he meant he said, "Wait, are your boobs real?"

2. From GorillaonWheels:

"What kind of porn do you like?" I was in the process of getting a government job that required a high security clearance, I was being interviewed by an agent. Most of the questions were pretty basic but this one caught me out of left field.

3. From mabbbbs:

I had a guy end my interview by asking me what my favorite ABBA song was. I was so caught off guard and honestly kind of creeped out, because I couldn't figure out how he knew that I loved ABBA.

I found out later that when he spoke to my references, he asked them to tell him something about me that wasn't on my resume, and my old boss told him that I was a huge ABBA fan.

4. From batterymassacre:

Lovers (an adult toy/accessories shop in the US) hands you an elephant sized, wiggly a** dildo and asks you to describe it.

You giggle you lose.

I lost.

5. From galedriel:

"What are the chances of you leaving your spouse if we relocate you? You mean... for a period of time until we figure out our living situation? No, I mean would you divorce him if you had to move to, say Europe, for the job?"

Wow.

Also, this was a local advertising agency. They didn’t even have that many national clients.

But also, the interviewer then continuously called and messaged me for days after I declined their offer. So I don’t know.

6. From Sambasscles:

This was quite a while ago, and I was interviewing for a janitorial position at a private middle school.

The interview was going well. The interviewer was asking me why I wanted to work there, what my previous job experience was, etc. The bog standard interview questions.

Out of absolutely nowhere, he asks "You're not attracted to underage girls, are you?" I was taken aback for a moment, and just sort of stared at him waiting for clarification.

I think it only occurred to him after having said it how weird the question was, and he quickly started to give some context. Turns out the previous janitor had attempted some sexual advances on some underage students

I was just there to sweep the floors for some cash. Not to commit a felony.

7. From maleorderbride:

First question of an interview: "Wait, aren't you the guy who owes me that thousand dollars?"

Realized after three of the longest seconds in my life that he was joking, but boy that caught me off guard.

8. From Wide_Open_Colon:

Does lie detector during the hiring process [for Sheriff's Deputy] count? I was asked if I'd ever had sex with animals. That question certainly caught me off guard.

9. From dumb-funsies:

"Which teacher did you hate the most and why?"

I answered that I had disagreed with a teacher over a book (I didn’t like it and it was her favorite) and she knocked points off all my future tests.

Interviewer said it was unprofessional to not like a teacher and I “clearly had no interview experience”. So yeah, didn’t get that internship.

10. From wanderingwiccan:

They asked me if I could stop my dialysis treatments so I can be more available. Yeah Karen, let me just die for less that 15 an hour.

11. From FieldCape:

"Can you make your breasts smaller? They might be a distraction for some of our patients here." This was at a hospital. And I wasn't wearing anything provocative, I just have big boobs. I didn't get the job, they told me it was because I was too inexperienced.

12. From __checkmate:

"Are you pregnant?"

And after I said no:

"Are you planning to get pregnant?"

13. From Boxman75:

"If hired would you refrain from wearing deodorant or using scented soaps and shampoos?"

Apparently the company was owned by an Indian family that really didn't like the smell of all the scented personal hygiene products we use in the west.

14. From Dyingforsomelove:

“Listen I have nothing against hiring a chick for the job, but I can’t afford to have you go off on maternity leave, so are you planning on getting knocked up in the near future?”

15. From CouchCandy:

He asked me if I believed in Bigfoot. That was the weirdest and yet least alarming thing discussed at my interview.

16. From Emperor_Cartagia:

When was the last time you had an X-Ray, CAT Scan, or Open MRI?

17. From ThrowRA8390398:

I was asked if I'd ever sent identifiable nudes in a job interview.

18. From _thedevilyouknow:

I was in an interview for a college scholarship, not a job. I’m black, and was being interviewed by a panel of 4 white interviewers and one black interviewer. One of the white interviewers asked me “how was growing up with both parents?”

The black interviewer and I immediately locked eyes and he gave me a knowing look. I don’t remember how I answered, but I got the scholarship!

19. From sagesandwich:

Whether the job pans out or not, would you be interested in getting a drink sometime?

20. From newdoggo3000:

"What is your religion?"

Now, my country is fairly secular and it's illegal to ask that, but apparently there are companies that have an unwritten policy about not hiring Jehovah's Witnesses because they usually end up asking for days off or don't even go to work in order to to go door to door preaching.

21. From bananana-88:

"What does your father do for work?" I was like 24 years old...pretty sure he was seeing how little he could pay me.

22. From imareddittor:

"For confidential reasons I need to ask, how much porn do you watch on a weekly basis?" I didn't realise he was joking until he burst out laughing. Got hired tho.

23. From Titaniumtank:

Very first job I interviewed for was a movie theater while I was still in high school.

Manager: are you available Sunday morning?

Me: Yes, I have open availability.

Manager: So you don't attend church Sunday morning?

Me: No, I'm free.

Manager: Oh, so you're gonna burn in hell?

Me: uh... Sorry, huh?

Manager: Nothing, it's fine.

Small towns are featured in countless scary movies and slow-burning psychological mini-series for a reason: they are full of secrets and strange traditions.

Whenever a small group of people congregate far away from the rest of society, there's bound to be some bizarre subculture going on. In the very least, there are some juicy local stories that speak to the nature of the town.

In a popular Reddit thread, people living in small towns shared their weirdest and most "WTF" stories, and they are truly beautiful gifts for those of us dazed in quarantine.

1. From OP:

A few years ago a friend of mine unsuccessfully (thank goodness) tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain pills. He was taken to a small hospital in Millen GA. I was living in Atlanta at the time so some friends as I drove down to check on him. When we made it down to the hospital we were asked to wait outside his room while a nurse was in the room attending to our friend.

While we were standing in the hall a man dressed in coveralls walked up to us. He was obviously a mechanic by way of the oil stains on his coveralls and the strong smell of grease. We struck up a conversation with him and he told us he’d been down the street at the local mechanic shop (suspicions confirmed!) and he walked down to check on (what I now assumed to be) our mutual friend. He moved to walk into the room and we told him everyone was supposed to wait outside till the nurse was done in the room. “Its okay” he says, pulling a stethoscope out of the pocket of his coveralls “I’m the Doctor”.

TL;DR: Local mechanic is also the Doctor

2. From marilynmonrobot:

One of my friend's uncle (let's call him Rob) acquired a pet raccoon. He named it Cuddles and one day she went missing. So he goes out to the road to check to see if she had been hit by a car, sure enough there was the raccoon obviously dead. He picks up the raccoon, brings her back to his house, then starts to dig a grave for it.

During this time Rob is calling all his friends and family, inviting them out for a funeral for his dead raccoon. We all show up with food and beer. Rob is crying and finishing up burying the dead raccoon when suddenly Cuddles shows up and starts tugging on his pant leg while he was shoveling. Now we were all already out there with food and beer so instead of a funeral we had a celebration for the return of Cuddles. Party included beer, a band, and a pig roast.

Rob and Cuddles are often seen together at the various mud bogs my town has. If you don't know what a mud bog is it's when you drive your (usually) big-a*s pick up truck through a pit of mud and see how far it can be driven through before it gets stuck. Also involves a lot of drinking.

Cuddles!

EDIT: More Small Town Stories: My grandfather who I lived with when I was a young child used to play pranks on us. One of his favorites was to go down the road and pick up possums then place them in boxes. He would then tell us he had gotten us a surprise and to slowly open the box. Scare the crap out of me seeing a possum playing dead staring up at me. Finally the umpteenth time of him doing this I had learned not to open boxes from him anymore.

3. From montereyo:

I got a parking ticket for five dollars for blocking a sidewalk. When I didn't pay it in time they added on a two-dollar late fee.

4. From expedient:

High school classmate brought to school a decaying human skull he found on his farm. He wasn't sure what it was.

It came from a man who'd been murdered in the winter, then stuffed into a drainage tube on this guy's farm. When spring came, thawing snow and rain washed the remains out into the clearing where he found the skull.

5. From PenisSizedNipples:

My hometown once had its major roads shut down because a rafter of wild turkeys decided to hang out in the street for a day.

6. From jboy55:

So, my family is visiting my uncle in 'middle of nowhere' KS at the family farm where my dad grew up. As luck would have it I have to have my appendix removed. This sucks, because I was a boy of 11 and the big fun of visiting my uncle on his farm is the go-karts, and motor bikes, and now all I can do is shoot the .22 because of the stitches.

So, we need to go to the hardware store, in the small town of 500 people, to buy .22 rounds. I walk in with my dad and immediately go to the counter.

The guy looks at me and says, "How are you feeling?".

I say, "Huh?".

He says, "You had your appendix removed?".

"ok?!?!" says I. Now I have never met this man before, nor been in his store, and we've only been in the store for barely 5 minutes.

The man laughed, "You're wondering how I knew... LOL. So I read in the newspaper that jboy55 (the name of my grandfather too) was admitted in the hospital for an appendix being removed, and I thought it was your grandfather. Then I remember hearing that your father was visiting and his son's name was John. Then you and your dad came in, I recognized him from when he used to come in, and I figured you were the one with the appendix removed"

As we left I asked my dad, "When was the last time you were in this store"

Dad, "30 years ago, when I was 8"

7. From CarbolicSmokeBalls:

I once lived in a small town in the Appalachians and I have a story somewhat similar to yours. The town was too small to support any kind of hospital, but they had a diner that functioned as both the local watering hole, and the doctor's office (the doctor owned the place and also served as the main cook). You could sit at the bar next to someone and not know if they were getting something to eat, or if they were about to get inoculated.

This town was very very small and remote. The schoolhouse I went to is the smallest public school in that state by a long shot. The senior class (this school went K-12, and still only had about 40 kids, not all of them lived in the town) did a family tree project and discovered that they were all related. Not even distantly; it was like third cousin or something. The punchline, they still held prom.

Also, our "neighbor" who lived somewhat close as the crow flies, but about 45 minutes driving through mountains, gave my mom her old wood-fired range because she had just been hooked up with electricity and didn't need it anymore. Keep in mind that this was the mid 90s.

I have too many stories about that place and the crazy folks who live there. I didn't think any towns like that still existed, but they're out there. They're kind of like time capsules.

8. From Aw_Hell_Naw:

I remember we had this old guy we called the "gum man". he would hang out in the local Piggly Wiggly (a grocery store) all day and ask little kids if they had gone to church that week. If you told him you had he'd give you a piece of gum. It was only later in life that I found out that he wouldn't give any gum to black kids, only white.

After typing this all out I realize how creepy the whole thing actually was...

Grew up in a little town in Alaska. April 1, 1974 a dude hired a helicopter to bring hundreds of old tires to the dormant volcano that can be seen from town. He set them on fire scaring the sh*t out of everybody.

10. From FallingSnowAngel:

I was offered $50 to cast a curse on NASCAR.

11. From americanslang59:

I grew up in Memphis but I used to go to this really small town in Arkansas a couple weekends a month. I got a bowl cut with an actual bowl on my head by a barber with three fingers on one hand.

edit: For people asking, it's Mountain View, Arkansas. It was 15 years ago so I don't remember their name.

12. From LetsGo_Smokes:

I live in a small town. We have a saying. "You don't lose your girlfriend, you lose your turn."

13. From lilliandil:

I was hanging out with my grandma's neighbor's two grandkids. Wes, the boy, wanted to go 'back in the bush' (we lived in a rural area) and so his grandmother let him take me and his sister down the back road on an ATV. We were back there barely ten minutes before we came across the most horrible stench I've ever smelled.

Wes drove towards the smell, and we found a cow graveyard. There were 25+ dead cows in various states of decay. Wes' sister said she was going to throw up so we left. Not really that WTF, but I was quite young and had nightmares about zombie cows for months.

14. From ApparentlyNotAToucan:

Little children including my sister set out on school's environment day to pick up trash in woods. Find WW2 bomb.

15. From jooes:

We had this local crazy lady. Everybody called her "Crazy Tina". She was f*cked. Apparently at one time she was a normal person and had a family and everything, and then she started doing a bunch of drugs and kind of lost it.

But man, some of the stuff she did. Crazy.

She had a garden in her front yard, which sounds normal. But she was "growing" rubber boots. Yeah. She had planted like 20 or so rubber boots with just the tops hanging out. And she had another 30 or so just in a huge pile. It's been there for as long as I can remember.

She decided one day that she was going to paint her house, which again sounds kind of normal. Except instead of doing it like a normal person, she bought a can of spray paint. And instead of spray painting like a normal person to try to get even coverage, she just fucking sprayed it all over. That led to more people going up to her house and spray painting dicks and sh*t on it.

Then I guess she got tired of that so she ripped off like half of her siding. Not all of it, no. Just half.

And she was the only person in the entire town to have bars on her windows. I don't really live in a town where people put bars on their windows. She is literally the only person here who has done that.

And man, you ever walk down the street she lives on. Holy sh*t, she'd be yelling "Get the f*ck away from my house!" and then you'd have to run away from her and everything. She was nuts. She was like that crazy cat lady from Simpsons, but she had no cats.

And yeah, apparently she was once a completely normal and nice person. My mom went to school with her. Then something just went off in her brain and she was never the same again.

16. From ImStillAwesome:

My brother's university is in a town that is pretty much literally in a cornfield. The instructions on the school's website literally say "Turn left at the stop sign." Because there is only one in the entire town.

EDIT: University of Minnesota, Morris. Colder than Hoth and nothing but corn and alcoholism for miles.

17. From msfayzer:

My local Walmart has a hitching post.

That is all.

18. From iamedcasey:

Maybe not a true WTF story, but my favorite "my hometown is so small/country" story is that at our county fair there was a girl in my high school class that was a finalist in both the beauty pageant AND the arm wrestling tournament.

19. From caitlinrb:

You can always tell when the seasons change in my town by a man named Leon who walks everywhere. He is an older Indian (Native American) man with long dark hair. When it starts to warm up, every year without fail, he starts to wear his cut off jean shorts. His legs are always shaved and he oils them down. He completes his look with a button up Hawaiian shirt, a safari hat, and keds.

20. From Lord_Monochromicorn:

I lived in a medium sized town in ND as a kid. One day in the summer, about 9 months after hunting season, my buddy and I were walking around a man-made pond in our neighborhood. As we were checking out the pond we noticed a small stick with what looked like a string tied around it floating on the water. Being 12 we naturally had to have that stick. After a few minutes trying to fish it out we nabbed it and started tugging. Something kind of heavy was attached to the string, so we kept pulling out of curiosity.

Within seconds we had it and pulled up a semi-decomposed buck head, with the antlers still attached. The fur had fallen away so all we saw was bloated discolored flesh and no eyes. My buddy and I shared a look over what we'd found, neither having a clue how the hell it had gotten there. We poked at it with sticks, as 12-year-old males do, for a while then got bored and left. The next day we came back with more friends to examine our find. The stick and head were gone.

Pregnancy is no walk in the park, and for couples having a child together, it absolutely takes two to tango.

Given the toll pregnancy takes on a woman's physical and mental energy, it's only fair for the other partner to pick up the slack when it comes to housework and cooking, especially if both partners work. Still, open communication is always key, and not all couples come to clear agreements about how labor will be divided. This can sadly lead to resentment and misunderstanding all around.

In a recent post on the Am I The A*shole subreddit, a husband asked if he was wrong for telling his wife they're "both pregnant" during a recent disagreement about domestic duties.

AITA for telling my wife that we're BOTH pregnant?

I know this sounds bad, but hear me out. I'm using a throwaway cuz my wife uses Reddit, so please don't upvote this. I just want honest feedback.

OP shared that his wife is pregnant with their fourth child, and he has been struggling with the demands of her pregnancy.

My wife (29f) and I (27m) do well financially, so we decided to have our fourth child. Every single pregnancy we've been through my wife has been a complete nightmare. Some things I can deal with, like waking up to the sound of her puking her guts out every morning, but when she starts demanding I go to the store every day to get her snacks or set up her foot bath thingy because her feet are swollen, I get a little impatient. I work way longer hours than her in a much more physically demanding profession (I'm a plumber, she's an engineer) so I think we're putting an equal amount of effort into this baby.

OP shared that while both of them work, he typically works longer hours and so when he gets home, he often feels annoyed at having to do extra housework.

And it's not like I don't help around the house, either. She does all the cooking and dishes, but I do laundry, take out garbage, and mow the lawn (we pay someone to do the floors and bathrooms weekly). My MIL comes over to help with the kids because she says I'm useless (I've been meaning to make a justnomil post about her), and while I appreciate the help I'm sick of her crap. Just because I want one hour of video games to myself a day instead of cleaning up messes in the kitchen doesn't mean I'm "useless".

Their marital tension recently came to a head when OP made a snarky joke about his wife making meatloaf for the third time in a week, and she claimed he has no empathy for her pregnancy struggles.

This all came to head yesterday when my wife screamed at me from the kitchen to get off my a*s and entertain our twins so she could focus on her meatloaf. I made a dumb joke about how this is the third meatloaf we'll be eating this week, and she. lost. her. sh*t. She told me how I have no sympathy for the fact that she's pregnant, I should be taking on more of her chores since I can't breastfeed, but then I reminded her that I still work a lot more hours than her, so I think we're basically both pregnant.

OP went on to claim they're both "basically pregnant" since he's been working extra hours and picking up slack in other ways. She has since given him a mild version of the silent treatment.

She got really quiet, and has only spoken to me regarding the kids since. I don't think I'm wrong but I'll apologize to her if it makes her happy. AITA here?

Anabolic_beard thinks it's abundantly clear that OP is wrong here, and needs to reevaluate his attitude towards his wife.

YTA.

You want to play video games instead of watch the kids? You're irritated by what your wife is making dinner? You think that things like waking up in the middle of the night because she's puking are analogous to waking up in the night to puke?

You're a huge major a*shole.

Now, your wife needs to handle some things better, but this is a stupid way and stupid plan to think this will fix it.

She's creating a living creature inside of her and let me assure you that sh*t is way harder than whatever you have to do.

My god man.

glitterswirl brought up the hypocrisy of OP demanding "me time" while not prioritizing it for his pregnant wife.

YTA.

OP, when does your wife get HER "me time"?

Because it's not when she's cooking all the meals for the family. It's not when she's doing the dishes. It's not when she's looking after the kids. It's not when she's waking up to puke. It's not when you're sat having your hour of video games. It's not the time when you're still at work and she's looking after the kids before you get home. It's not when you won't have your MIL round to help out and give her a break. So, when?

And I bet you expected the meatloaf, which she was making whilst supervising the twins, whilst you were playing games, to still taste good, right?

YOU are not pregnant. SHE is.

Read up on:

1. the mental load

2. she divorced me because I left dishes by the sink

3. the walkaway wife.

teeny_gecko pointed out the narcissism in how OP describes his wife's discomfort.

YTA for this

"Some things I can deal with, like waking up to the sound of her puking her guts out every morning."

Oh wow, a hero! Your wife must be so grateful that you deal with this, you're truly brave.

Also, you're not pregnant, your wife is. You have no idea what it's like and by the looks of it, you don't even care.

Mzfnk4 can barely count the ways that OP is TA, because there are so many.

YTA. Geez, YTA.

Cooking and dishes are daily tasks. Mowing and taking out the garbage are much more infrequent tasks. I'll give minor props for laundry. So now that we've established she does more at home than you do, how about you drop the whole "I work more hours than she does" bit?

You don't like having meatloaf for the third time that week? Then get up and make something different. And she was cooking AND tending to twins? Have you ever been pregnant while also having 3 kids already? I only have 2 kids, but the second time around was much, much harder than the first. You're tired more, things HURT more and much earlier too. I can't even imagine how tired I would be with 3 kids and another on the way. I also missed the part where you're physically carrying the child. I don't think you can be pregnant unless you are growing a kid in your uterus.

OP's original post received so many unanimous responses calling him out for his attitude towards his wife that he followed up to defend himself and clarify that she does in fact get alone time.

Edit: my wife does get breaks, guys. I set up the annoying foot bath thing every night while she does dishes and then she relaxes with it while watching YouTube every night while I put the kids to bed. She also won't eat my cooking because she grew up in southeast Asia and doesn't like American food. It's not my fault she's picky.

In fact, OP followed up a second time to share that his wife ended up finding the Reddit post, and now they'll be attending marriage counseling - which sounds like the best case scenario for everyone.

Edit 2: it's a Korean BBQ meatloaf she makes since some people pointed out meatloaf is typically American. Anyway, my wife found this post and now she wants us to do couples counseling. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

This is one of those rare but hopeful times where the internet provides more than just discussion about a relationship issue, it ushers in immediate action.

If you need a quality quarantine distraction, Chrissy Teigen has given her Twitter followers a photoshop challenge, and the results so far are pretty fantastic.

Sure, we aren't all having the same kind of quarantine that Chrissy Teigen has. Most of us aren't famous with a famous musician husband and a mansion with a pool to spend lockdown in. However, anyone can have good sense of humor...

So, when Chrissy Teigen, queen of Twitter, asked the internet to turn her modeling photos (complete with hair luxuriously blowing in the wind) into a work of comedic art, people were definitely ready to deliver. Chrissy, this could've been pretty terrifying, people are weird out there! Don't ask them to tarnish your image like this! Luckily, though, most of her fans were very respectful...

Enjoy and stay safe, everyone!

One of the best things about moms, other than the fact they gave us life, is how funny they can be, often without even trying. Everyone talks about "dads jokes," but mom jokes are in a category all on their own. Dad jokes tend to be a little more calculated, goofy, and reliant on puns. But mom jokes are organic, straight from the heart, and maybe just a little bit mean.

In honor of Mother's Day, Jimmy Fallon asked people to share the funny things they've heard a mom say during quarantine with the hashtag #QuarantineMomQuotes.

Jimmy's answer was of course hysterical.

And here are 31 more hilarious quotes from moms in quarantine that prove even a global pandemic can't stop moms from momming.

Enjoy, have some laughs, and then call your mom.

Parents on TikTok are sharing their kids' cuteness with the rest of the world, and the latest trend has parents recording their kids attempting to expand their vocabularies.

The challenge is simple: teach your kid a new word by sounding out the syllables, and record the kiddo stumble as they try to put the word together.

It turns out that teaching toddlers to speak English is like teaching Joey Tribbiani how to speak French.

Basic words like "tomato," "water," and "hamburgers" turn out to be tonguetwisters, and the videos are hilarious.

1. I say tomato, you say mo-ma-meetu.

2. Pop + sicle = ???

3. His favorite animal is Juice Box.

4. Would you like a side of fries with that?

5. This cutie trying to say "helicopter" is great beatboxing.

6. Why *say* puppy when you could *be* a puppy?

7. I scream, you scream, we all scream for "tumdono."

8. This baby trying to say "water" is Drunk You.

9. Remember to say your "bees" and thank yous.

Marriage is weird and wonderfully complicated. Of course, you love your spouse, but sometimes they definitely push your buttons. These memes perfectly nail the hilariously real struggle of married life.

Kids will repeat and bop along to pretty much any catchy song they hear — even if its real meaning is borderline X-rated.

A recent Reddit thread asked people to recall the songs from their youth that they had no idea were completely inappropriate for kids. This is why Kidz Bop exists!

1. Listen back to Aqua's number-one hit now and you might be shocked.

The barbie girl song - Kitasuki

2. Of course, the "Reservoir Dogs" interpretation to this is probably more phallic than intended, but the point still stands.

"Like A Virgin" for me. I thought Madonna was talking about being an actual virgin having sex for the first time. It wasn't until I saw Reservoir Dogs that I realized that it could mean something else. - ResidingAt42

3. Akon was not singing about a slap fight.

Smack That by Akon. I to this day know it word for word. But when I first heard it I was 8 or 9 and idk how I didn't realise what the chorus meant.

Backstory my parent's only speak a little English, and so they didn't know what I was saying. Even funnier is that there's a recording of me rapping it on my mum's old Nokia from like 2006. - theIGopp

4. This song is such a perfect use of extended metaphor.

Candy Shop by 50 Cent. Turns out it isn't about a candy shop. - PMforDckGraysonPics

5. Okay, might have to google this one...

Whistle By: Flo Rida. Used to sing it with my friends at camp. Just found out this year what the true meaning of the song is. Probably even more embarrassing is the fact that I sang it to my old Baby sitter. - bradmilkmillian

6. How many tweens sang along to this one?

["Genie in a Bottle."] I could not understand why my mom didn't want me to sing it at the school talent show in elementary school. - BeaneathTheTrees

7. Every R&B singer is targeting the coveted elementary school horse girl demographic.

Second grade me thought [Ginuwine's "Pony"] was about ponies. I loved horseback riding. - bmel22

8. Definitely one of the weirdest Britney Spears song.

If you seek Amy. Took me quite a few listens to figure that one out. - usernameforreddit02

9. Hey, maybe it was about staying up all night to search for a four-leaf clover.

Get Lucky by Daft Punk. My teacher used to play it in our 5th grade classroom, no one realized it was sexual, not even the teacher. I saw him about a year ago and he joked about it. - nithsdalian

10. Wow, how did we miss this?!

I firmly believe that "Hey Mickey" by Toni Basil contains the earliest pop culture reference to anal since the advent of mass media:

"Come on and give it to me, any way you can,

any way you want to do it, I'll take it like a man."

Wow!

And I may be misremembering this but I'd swear that that's the line in the video where she turns and wiggles her ass at the camera. And don't bother correcting me, if I'm wrong then I've decided that I'm definitively wrong. - jDubbaYo

11. This one is about afternoon shtupping.

I loooooved "Afternoon Delight" as a young girl in the 70s but was appalled when, as an adult, I heard it for the first time in years and realized what it was about. I used to go around singing it - __Sassafrass__

12. This line could be about a Dutch Oven, to be fair.

I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues - Elton John

I just liked the piano in it when I was younger, now I’ve realized that it’s a pretty sexually charged song with one of the lines being: “Rolling like thunder, under the covers!” - RunningMan2001

13. Aww, what a lovely thought.

Cherry Pie by Warrant. At the age I was listening to it, I didn't really know what sex was yet. All the references to "swinging" with his girl - I honestly thought they meant dancing. - Nythoren

14. How could a song that sounds like it's about what goes in your coffee be so filthy?!

Cream by Prince. I actually got in trouble in 2nd grade because I was singing the lyrics in class - FrightNightLover

15. Well this ruins everything.

Only the good die young

He’s basically peer pressuring a girl to hook up - __flatline__

16. Hey, anyone could've made this mistake.

When I was 5 I was in love with Tina Turner and my favorite song to sing was "Private Dancer", which is (as you've probably guessed) a song about a stripper lmfao

"I'm your priiiiiiivate dancer! Dancer for money! I'll do what you want me to do!" 😂😂😂 - MaliciousKittiee

17. How pure.

I knew this family who’s kid loved that Cake By The Ocean song so much that for his birthday they actually went to the beach and had a Cake By The Ocean themed party. None of them had any idea until they posted all the photos and someone told them what the song was actually about. - CommanderFemSheep

Pandemic-induced lockdowns aren't bringing out most people's most patient side. And one man proved that to be the case when he wrote to Reddit for advice over the screaming baby who lives next door.

He's upset that his neighbor brings her newborn outside for an hour every day so he spoke to her about it — and about the fact that his sons saw her breastfeeding. Oh, the humanity. Now, there's a feud going on between this man and the baby's dad, who also lives there. Yikes.

They've all been neighbors for about a year:

I’ll start with context. Our current next door neighbors moved in last year. It was an older (50s-ish) couple and their college age daughter.

They were nice enough and I assumed the daughter was going to be attending the nearby university, which would’ve been fine for a family-oriented neighborhood like ours, but she’s not going to school and I don’t even think she’s had a job this whole time either. Okay, not my business.

So we know he's nosy. He continues:

But soon enough I notice a guy I hadn’t seen before suddenly living there too. I’m still friends with the lady who lived in the house before them (their landlord) so I asked her if she knew about the new guy and she said he wasn’t on the original lease but he was the daughter’s boyfriend who’d gotten her pregnant. I wasn’t thrilled, but I let it go.

The daughter's baby has arrived, loudly, as babies do:

Fast forward to now when everyone’s sheltering in place and things got claustrophobic. Our backyards are separated by fences only, so we can hear each other pretty well. I make sure my own kids aren’t too rowdy or loud in the pool when they’re out there, but the daughter next door had her baby about a month ago and the baby SCREAMS.

This guy is angry that she has the audacity to calm the baby down outside — and nurse al fresco:

The daughter takes the baby out and sits on a swing with it at about lunchtime each day, and doesn’t go back inside until AFTER it calms down, which can take as much as an hour sometimes! The straw that broke the camel’s back was when I overheard my kids (13 and 15 year old boys) snickering about seeing her breastfeeding the baby from one of our second story windows. It made me feel like the daughter wasn’t really respecting the neighborhood.

He confronted the new mom and told her she's "ruining the neighborhood":

So a few days ago I politely initiated a conversation with her from over the fence when she was out with the baby again and pretty much told her my concerns. She started making excuses about being stuck inside all day and wanting to give her baby a more “stimulating environment”. I told her she’s not doing the baby any favors by letting it cry outside and ruining the neighborhood for everyone. After that she got up and went in the house and I haven’t seen her outside since.

Now the new mom's boyfriend is getting involved:

Yesterday I was doing some work in the front yard when the daughter’s boyfriend walked up to me and demanded an explanation from me since apparently his girlfriend found our conversation ”upsetting” and cried. I told him exactly what went down but it didn’t help. He even accused me of racism (because his girlfriend and her family are black) and I told him that he was being ridiculous and I hope they both grow up for the sake of their baby. He started cussing me out before the girlfriend called him back inside.

Even his kids think he's an a-hole:

My wife was witness to both of these incidents so she’s on my side. But she told our kids what happened and now they’re saying I’m the one that made things awkward and that THEY’RE embarrassed. I tried explaining my side of things but they’re not having it. I know they were willing to suffer to keep the peace but I feel like I did the neighborhood a favor even if this one neighbor and her family don’t like me anymore. [Am I the a-hole]?

He also claims he talked to his sons about spying on the mom while she was feeding her baby:

I TALKED TO MY SONS ALREADY. I made it very clear that it’s impolite to stare, but I guess expecting some common courtesy in return is a crime against humanity? Guess none of us will ever look out the second story window ever again! Christ

The people of Reddit swiftly judged this guy to be the a-hole in the situation.

DaiZzedAndConfused says he would be an a-hole no matter what, but blaming the woman for breastfeeding on her own property really takes it to another level:

It's a freaking baby. Babies scream/cry. [The nursing confrontation] though, makes you a major a**hole.

So your kids are peeping on a woman breastfeeding in her backyard and you're blaming the woman?

Rowanbrierbrook points out how the man seems confused about what "family neighborhood" means:

OP: This is a family neighborhood!!11!

Also OP: gets angry when a (black) family moves in next door

Also also OP: gets even angrier when the (black) family next door has a baby

Hmm... I am thinking OP's objection is not, in fact, about it being a family neighborhood. Wonder what it could possibly be that bothers him so much about this family?

TXpheonix points out that the sons were the creepy ones:

Parent your own kids before you worry about hers. YOUR kids were peeping and being creepy.

Oh my gosh! A one month old baby cried?!?! The horror. Good thing your perfect little peeping toms were super quiet. /S. Babies cry. If you don't want to hear your neighbors, live somewhere there aren't neighbors.

queenoreo agrees:

Your children, who are old enough to know better, were spying on your neighbor and looking at her breasts and you are blaming her instead of reading your boys the riot act for sexualizing a mother feeding her child. Your little peeping Toms are disgusting and so are you for excusing it.

MoeMoe102 points out that the guy clearly has a bone to pick with the family:

Why do you think it’s any of your business if she goes to college, has a job, or a boyfriend that is living with them while everyone is stuck at home? I understand where you’re coming from with the loud crying but that’s a noise complaint, not an invitation for you to tell her what’s best for her child. Secondly she was in the privacy of her backyard, FEEDING HER CHILD. It’s natural, you should have used this opportunity to explain to your own kids about how it’s a complete normal thing women do when they have children. You should have just said, hey sometimes we get a lot of noise disturbance from your yard in the middle of the day and was wondering if you could keep it down.

Many, including awkwardtoss, think the man shouldn't be so sure that he's innocent of racism:

If you are a parent then you know darn well that babies cry and how difficult having a newborn can be. You just shamed a new mother who has enough problems of her own. Go apologize to that family.

Also, because I don't see anyone else saying it. If your own kids think YTA and the neighbor believes it is a race problem, then there might be something to that. You can be racist without realizing it, ya know. Be better.

And your-yogurt agrees:

"family-oriented neighborhood like ours"

"he was being ridiculous and I hope they both grow up for the sake of their baby."

"I don’t even think she’s had a job this whole time either. "

OP is either racist or... no, I'm pretty sure OP is racist.

So there you have it: babies are allowed to scream outside in a pandemic, and moms are allowed to breastfeed.

Thanks, people of Reddit, for clearing that up!

Most of us have been in quarantine for almost two months now, and while there are definitely some signs of light at the end of the tunnel, things are still starting to get pretty weird...

Until it's safe to resume life as it once was (remember packed concert venues? Crowded bars? House parties? Uncomfortably close public transit commutes?), social distancing is key to keep people safe and support essential workers. While we all know at least one person who has been sneakily not following any of the rules and acting like the pandemic doesn't effect them (we see you!), there are usually more good people out there than there are selfish people.

Staying at home has forced people to be a lot more creative with their social media posts and overall sources of entertainment. When the only way to live our lives is through multiple screens, it can start to feel like we're living in a weird science fiction movie simulation. So, if you could definitely use a laugh, here are the funniest (and most recent) tweets we could find about the weird state of our quarantine lives right now.

Enjoy and stay safe, everyone!

There is no textbook on how to deal with a loved one getting terminal cancer, it's a situation too devastating and complex to boil down to a simple emotional recipe.

Still, while there isn't a right way to be there for a loved one fighting cancer, there are a few wrong ways to handle it. Making their illness about yourself, and undermining their pain are just a few of the worst ways to handle the shock of cancer.

Sadly, prickly family dynamics don't simply disappear when a family member gets cancer. In many cases, the illness heightens tensions and emotional disparities that were already there. The looming presence of loss can serve as a blacklight exposing the ugliest attitudes that haven't been interrogated or healed. In these dark moment, family members who function as mediators often end up working overtime to keep the peace.

In a recent post on the Am I The A*shole subreddit, a woman asked if she was wrong for telling off her sister for comparing fertility issues to their younger sister's cancer.

AITA for going off on my sister, who has fertility issues, because she thinks that is the same thing (or worse) as my other sister who has cancer?

OP kicked off the post by sharing that her sister Ava has a severe form of cancer, and an estimated five years tops to live.

Both OP and Ava have never been as close to their older sister Kate, for a myriad of reasons.

My eldest sister is 30 (I’ll call her Kate) and my middle sister is 25 (I’ll call her Ava). I am 23. My middle sister and I are closer because my eldest sister is generally uptight, a bit of a narcissist, and thinks she’s more important because she’s the oldest. This is how it’s always been, even before any health issues.

For the past few years, Kate has been struggling with her fertility, and the family has tried to express sensitivity in conversations surrounding pregnancy.

Kate, over the two years, has been trying to have a baby and has fertility issues. My family has been very supportive, and has made sure to not talk about this person and that person getting pregnant, and when we watch TV we don’t watch like, shows that involve birthing. Because the truth is, these issues have turned Kate into an absolute lunatic.

While OP empathizes with Kate's struggle, she has felt at times that Kate took it too far.

Which I understand, because it’s a sad, frustrating and depressing experience, and I empathize with her and always have. But one time, she completely snapped at me when she overheard me telling my mother my weekend plans that involved babysitting. “I don’t want to hear about people’s children!”

The past six months, OP and the family have been doing everything they can to support Ava while she navigates her cancer diagnosis.

Anyway. About six months ago Ava was diagnosed with cancer. It’s not a cancer that has a good 5 year outcome. We would be very lucky that she makes it to the 5 year survival mark. It’s been extremely devastating for my family, and she is not dealing with it well. Mentally, and also physically. I’ve had the worst few months of my life, watching my best friend become a shell of herself.

During this trying time, OP has noticed Kate acting dismissive in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways, and up until now has decided to ignore it so she could focus on Ava.

I’ve noticed things from Kate that I’ve ignored, but it’s gotten to the point where she’s not even trying to hide the fact that she’s annoyed at our sister struggling with cancer. When my family and Ava are in a deep discussion about chemo or something else related, I’ve caught Kate rolling her eyes. She’s butted in the conversation and tried to take it over with stuff about her and her husband, and fertility. Among other things.

The dynamics came to head recently when OP caught Ava crying, convinced that Kate cared more about having a baby than her dying of cancer.

Then yesterday, I caught Ava in a really sad mood and I asked her what was wrong. She tears up and tells me that Kate would probably choose to end her life if it meant she could create one if she had the chance, and she feels like she isn’t going to care at all when she dies. I told her that wasn’t true and tried to comfort her.

When OP went to confront Kate about her lack of empathy towards Ava, Kate launched into a diatribe about how Ava isn't the only person with health issues, and went on to compare her pregnancy issues to cancer.

Then I was fed up. I tried to start a conversation with Kate and tell her that she’s been insensitive towards Ava, who is literally battling for her life. She then becomes snarky, says that “other people have serious health issues too, Ava isn’t the only one. It’s typical you guys focus on her and don’t even take me into consideration” which made me go off and say that I don’t think not being able to get pregnant easily is the same thing as having cancer, that will more than likely end your life.

Kate did not respond well to the real talk, and is now campaigning to make OP out to be a villain.

And I don’t. I don’t think it’s on the same level, sorry. She can adopt if she is totally unsuccessful, and her and her husband are open to that option as well. Now she’s started this huge ordeal, acting as though I’m the devil incarnate. Was I wrong?!

paranoidandroidr thinks OP is fully in the right and that Kate needs a massive wake up call.

NTA.

She's turning this into some kind of messed up competition. It's already fairly psychotic of her to ban everybody in her life from even speaking of children in her presence.

Then, to get (what seems to be) jealous of the attention her sister gets when she finds out she has cancer? What a sh*tty sister. No, what a sh*tty person.

Cancer and infertility are absolutely NOT on the same level. With infertility, you can't create life. With cancer, you lose your life.

MandaMaelstrom encouraged OP to keep her focus on supporting Ava, and pay no mind to Kate's theatrics.

NTA. Of course NTA. Kate’s struggles are deserving of empathy, but her lack of concern for her seriously ill sister is horrifying. It really sounds like she needs therapy to help her gain some perspective and get out of her own head, but I don’t imagine suggesting that would go over terribly well.

You should just keep being a wonderful sister and giving Ava love and support. Don’t even entertain Kate’s histrionics. If she says unsupportive things or rolls her eyes in front of Ava, just quietly tell her, “this isn’t beneficial for our sister” and don’t take the bait if she tries to justify or downplay her actions. Kate’s immature behavior is not deserving of attention. Ava is.

I’m so sorry for what your family is going through, but I know Ava is very lucky to have you in her corner.

cocoaqueen thinks Kate is completely over the top and toxic.

NTA. Kate is an entitled selfish brat who cannot cope with not being the center of attention.

She’s also being ridiculous expecting you not to talk about babysitting in front of her.

Computerguy71 pointed out just how extreme Kate's false equivalences are.

NTA. Dude what your sister said is just insulting to people with cancer your sister doesn't have to go through chemo or anything but the one with cancer does one actually suffers and the other cant have kids. Now I'm not saying being infertile isn't bad I'm just saying comparing it to cancer is like saying a chihuahua is as dangerous as a lion.

It seems abundantly clear that OP is not in the wrong in this situation, it also feels clear that Kate is a narcissist who needs a wake up call or to be cut off completely while Ava goes through treatment.

The pandemic has been difficult for everybody, as hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost around the world and workers are risking their lives to heal and provide. In the midst of the chaos, it's important to remember who is really suffering: women who'd rather not wear a safety mask to Costco.

The "Karens" have been out in full force during the coronavirus crisis, complaining about how much life sucks now that they have to make concessions to stop the spread of disease.

A Karen named Sharon complained to the Costco Facebook page about having to a mask while shopping, and an account pretending to be the superstore told her to screw off.

"I will not shop at Costco until you remove your mandatory mask rule!" Sharon/Karen said with a bold background, so you know she's serious.

Costco Wholesale, an page posing as the store, responded, "Thank you for taking such a brave stand, Sharon. We look forward to the documentary they will make about you some day."

The account's Costco cosplay was convincing, as a dude named Jack thought it was real, and he was unhappy.

"Wow! Not a very professional response Costco! Looks like I will be getting a membership refund myself! IT SHOULD BE A CHOICE!" the guy said.

"We've chosen not to refund you," Costco Wholesale fired off.

These Karens would be hilarious if they weren't also dangerous.

It's Teacher Appreciation Week and, frankly, teachers deserve more than one week. They deserve a million dollar raise and a lifetime of top-shelf champagne—but instead, they get a week, a mug, and sometimes an apple.

Being a teacher was already challenging enough without a global pandemic. But now with kids in quarantine and classrooms being moved online, teachers have a whole new set of challenges to take on. For the most part it seems teachers are handling these new obstacles with stoicism, fortitude, and a heaping dose of humor (as well as a fair amount of booze, hopefully after 2:30 pm but who am I to judge?!).

It's hard to imagine for Gen Z that there used to be a time very long ago when if you wanted to talk to your friends, you had to call their parents' landline and ask, "MAY I PLEASE SPEAK TO JOHN?"

There have been a lot of debates between the generations about who is doing the most for humanity. Millennials get blamed for being entitled, Gen Z is simultaneously the dancing TikTok generation and churning out climate and gun control activists, Boomers are constantly asking to speak to the managers, and Gen Xers are mostly just trying to keep the peace.

Still, a healthy dose of nostalgia is always fun. Go ahead, take a trip down memory lane when the best board game on the planet was "Dream Phone" and the biggest problem we all had was when a razor scooter hit our ankles. It was a simpler time, or was it? We'll never know.

Here are the funniest tweets we could find for millennial and Gen X eyes only!

No one enjoys being stuck at home during a global pandemic, except for dogs and some introverts. But no matter how many times you've screamed at yourself or your significant other or your kids or your houseplants, or eaten a box of dry cereal at 2 am, or cried in a company-wide zoom call, it could always be worse (for example, you could be an essential worker). If there's one thing we're all learning in this challenging time, it's gratitude for the little things in life that aren't going terribly right now. For example, at least your house hasn't burned down, or you didn't find a snake skin under your bed. Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky.
