The battle between the generations has been raging for awhile and Gen X seems like the clear winner right now for simply not getting involved...

Boomers drag Millennials on Facebook for their "laziness," Millennials drag Boomers on Instagram for their politics and lack of technological skills, Gen Z drags Millennials on TikTok for their inability to grow up and their constant obsession with "Harry Potter," and Gen X is somewhere in the background watching it all burn.

Gen Z, or "Zoomers" have no mercy in their brazen roasts of Millennials saying "doggo" and calling a simple trip to the dentist or boiling water for pasta "adulting." However, Gen Z spends a whole lot of time learning 1 minute dances to record for social media in their parents' houses. While the younger generations bicker between each other, most of us can agree on the fact that Boomers often...miss the mark? The image of a "Karen," or an entitled Boomer who needs to speak to the manager is a meme that has caused many laughs and Boomer backlash. But, with all the recent videos of unmasked "Karens" yelling at grocery store workers, the character is unfortunately often very real.

Still, Boomers are a pretty confusing group. Why do they love minions? Why do they refuse to understand how Facebook works? Why do they love to deny science? Here are the funniest tweets about the things Boomers can't get enough of...

They say think before you speak. And you should. But at least if you say something stupid or clueless IRL, hopefully only a few people hear it. And if you're lucky, they'll forget. Posting online is another story. You should think twice before posting. Because otherwise your ignorance or your brain fart may be ridiculed, screenshotted, and shared on comedy blogs like this one. Sorry!

You know that moment when your friend, family member or significant other suggests a place to go because "they know a spot," but then you show up and it's...just...the absolute worst?

The "know a spot" meme is going around Twitter and people can't stop firing off hilarious jokes mocking the situation we've all found ourselves in when someone claims they know the perfect place to go and it ends in a complete disaster.

While the origins of memes are usually unclear, internet sleuths at "Know Your Meme" think the first "I know a spot tweet" was this one:

From there, people starting quote-tweeting with their own jokes until it became a quick Twitter trend with some hilarious dark and surprisingly deep jokes.

Cheers to smart, clever memes! The pandemic hasn't crushed people's sense of humor.

This guy either takes his research into the haircuts of the everyday man very seriously, or is a quick and masterful liar.

A woman wrote into Reddit's relationship advice forum truly torn as to whether or not her boyfriend of a year (whom she's been living with in quarantine for three months) could be lying about why he downloaded Tinder.

"Did my (29F) boyfriend (34M) really make a Tinder account to to view men's haircuts?" she earnestly asks.

The post reads:

I've been with my BF for a year now, and for the last 3 months we've been living together in quarantine. He had a buzz cut since I first met him, except for the last 3 months hasn't gone out to get a haircut for obvious reasons. A few weeks ago since things have opened back up he was talking about maybe making an appointment to get a haircut. I asked if he was just going to get a buzz cut and he said yes, and I said that I thought his hair looked really good longer and that maybe he should just get a trim.

A few days ago I went on to his phone to play Spotify and I notice that he had Tinder downloaded. I opened it up and saw that it was set up as a women's account set to swipe on men. It didn't look like he had messaged anyone yet. When I confronted him about it he told me that he created the account to look at men's haircuts. I asked him why he didn't just Google "men's haircuts" and he goes "When you search for 'men's haircuts' it's literally all just male models with undercuts. If you search for 'man in his 30s' it's just stock photos. Online dating is the easiest way to see pictures of few hundred real, random dudes in their 30s so I can find a picture to bring to the barber." When I asked about Facebook he goes "So I'm just going to get an identical haircut to one of my real life friends so I look like I'm Single White Femaling him?"

He set his profile as one for a woman, which is prime for Catfishing and also...haircut inspiration?

Her best friend think's he's cheating, but she could go either way.

To me his reasoning sounded plausible but he's pretty smart and good at making logical arguments. When I told my best friend she goes "Do you really want to be one of those women who believes men's ridiculous excuses for cheating?" What do people think, could this actually be why he made a Tinder account?

So... is he cheating on his girlfriend or his barber?

Here's where internet strangers come in. The post made it to Twitter, where many people sighed and said, "oh, honey!!!"

Some people see this as a plausible, because men.

There are, in fact, other men out there who create female Tinder profiles for research purposes.

People who started skeptical are now on his side.

I hope he's telling the truth, and that he found a good haircut.

Although it's changing, our society still has a long way to go in increasing mental health awareness and reducing stigma. Because of this, many people fail to admit or even realize that they have a problem. And certain habits or behavioral patterns that may be symptomatic of an underlying emotional or psychological issue are widely-accepted as "normal." Someone asked therapists of Reddit: "what are things people do thinking it's normal but really, are indicators of a more serious issue?"

These 18 people who work in the mental health field share the common behaviors or habits that people may not realize are red flags:

1.) From ohboy_321:

The most common one I deal with is people quieting their thoughts/feelings in relationships. It actually leads to serious issues down the road and if you do it long enough you become a really resentful, angry person.

2.) From spafticus:

Clinical psychologist here. Experiential avoidance. When a difficult emotion or thought arises, people typically want to get rid of that as soon as possible. Which makes sense. But, that typically involves moving away from things that bring value to someone’s life. Thus, creating the conditions for depression and other types of suffering.

Anyway, here’s a short video that explains it better.

https://youtu.be/C-ZuqeyxULM

3.) From C250586:

Lack of boundaries.

Often manifested as being unable to say no in social situations, oversharing personal details EARLY in a relationship, or most dangerous of all, not respecting boundaries of others as default.

If someone uses fear, obligation or guilt (or experiences these from someone else on a regular basis) as part of a normal relationship dynamic, that's a pretty clear sign the person has some rather serious issues, either as a chronic victim of abuse or perpetrator.

Healthy boundaries are mandatory for a healthy relationship. That goes for family, romantic, and friendship.

4.) From love_me_please:

Avoid.

When anything makes us anxious we tend to do this, to stay away from the thing that makes us uncomfortable.

If it's a genuine threat that's fine, but all of the anxiety disorders have avoidance as a key perpetuating factor. Over time it doesn't just perpetuate, it enhances the anxiety and we can get very unwell.

5.) From mc_squared_03:

Workaholics.

In my experience, always wanting to be working is usually a sign that they are trying to fill something that is missing in their life (a meaningful relationship, hobby, etc.), or that their home life is in shambles and they would rather avoid having to confront it head-on.

6.) From cactusesarespikey:

Build close relationships really quickly. Like when you "super connect" with someone really quickly and the relationship becomes intense - whether it's friends or intimate partner.

Via C250586:

It's often called "love bombing" or false intimacy. Usually, the person without boundaries will over-share very personal details extremely rapidly, which makes the other person feel compelled to also share intimate details. This creates a false feeling of "we must be good friends to share such intimate details so quickly". You'll see the term "soul mates" thrown around a lot.

However, the relationship is not based on the things that make a relationship strong and healthy... shared experience, trust built over time, honesty, and strong boundaries. Rather than sharing these personal details on the backbone of long term trust, it was done to try to "create" trust, but it's the wrong way to do it.

This "false trust" dichotomy creates an unhealthy situation where there are no boundaries, and the toxic person might suddenly start getting aggressive if the other person starts to pull away "I thought we were friends!". What's worse is the poor non-toxic person now has a mentally unstable person holding a bunch of personal information over their head as blackmail to maintain a "besties" relationship.

Usually, the poor naive person on the receiving end of the "Love bombing" realizes all too late that the person with the unhealthy behavior has zero boundaries and therefore doesn't respect boundaries, and then it's all kind of a mess trying to untangle the fake, super unhealthy relationship that was created on false pretense.

This all can be very difficult to undo, and lead to a whole bunch of awkwardness and drama that was very easily avoided by having great boundaries to begin with.

The best relationships develop slowly over time, in a natural way. My best friendships with the healthiest people are the ones where we slowly started having small chat over 1-2 years and eventually realized we had things in common and developed a healthy friendship from there.

7.) From I_are_facepalm:

I was always surprised how often adult patients would tell me something and then say "I've never told anybody that before."

So much pain could have been at least partially reduced by reaching out to a trusted person or professional. It still seems normal to many people that just bottling everything up in silence will somehow lead to improvement over time.

8.) From BeastModePwn:

Therapist here. Things I commonly see on Reddit that are treated as normal: constantly seeking external validation, believing that it's normal for everyone to have a therapist as constant lifelong support, that not having a strong social support system is okay, that not taking care of yourself is okay, and self-deprecating.

9.) From narcolepsyinc:

Mental gymnastics to take responsibility for things that go wrong/bad things happening.

10.) From Scroll_Queeen:

People who have a glass of wine / beer every night just ‘to relax’ or ‘take the edge off’. But when you ask them if they could stop, they often find they can’t and are more anxious and short tempered without alcohol as a crutch

Also, people who willingly jam-pack their schedules. This is usually seen in parents, especially those with disabled children, where they feel like having their child enrolled in everything or getting therapy every day is the best options. It comes from a good place, but is a sign of denial and when the busyness stops, it can take a real toll.

Lastly, people who use humour to manage, deflect or hide emotions. It makes them seem happy and resilient to the outside world but xan be an unhealthy and emotionally stunting way to manage feelings

11.) From petechamp:

Not being able to remember your childhood. This is often a sign of unprocessed trauma.

12.) From miss_hush:

Here’s several common issues:

Never saying “No”: This is people pleasing behavior and it winds up causing a lot of issues. It’s common in women, because women are often raised to think they need to be, do, and take care of everything.

Not having arguments/fights with family or partners: You would think this means that you have a great relationship and everything is fabulous. Really it just means that some or all people involved are avoiding conflict. Conflict avoidance is a HUGE problem over time.

ETA: Arguments/Fights/Disagreements should not be knock down, drag out, butting heads, yelling or screaming. A lot of the disagreeing comments I’m getting are picturing massive blow outs— that Is not at all what I am saying here. It might look like that for some people, but that is not healthy disagreement or healthy communication.

Never being wrong: No one is ever right all the time. If someone is always right, then they might be displaying signs of a narcissistic personality, or potentially NPD. People can be pretty narcissistic without actually having NPD. Those people can still cause a lot of strife in their family’s life.

Using a substance daily, or regularly: Picture the parent who has a glass of wine every night after the kids go to bed, the person who smoke cannabis every evening before bed, the student who drinks every weekend. These are all behaviors that exhibit a functional dependency on a substance which can quickly escalate. Using substances is not an appropriate coping strategy.

Speculating/worrying/ruminating over things that other people have said or done: This is SO common, and such a small thing that everyone does! It can cause so many issues, though, when the real solution is always communication. Communication is the number one issue that people have. It’s hard to talk to people about difficult and sensitive things, but it does get easier with practice. If everyone just always talked about things, their lives would be easier.

ETA: Please note that I am not making a comment about taking prescription medicines as directed or about using Cannabis as a medication. Medical Cannabis has a place in the world. I am strictly commenting about substances being used as coping strategies, which is an inappropriate use. It’s “normal” but that does not make it appropriate.

13.) From inflamedroomba:

Difficulty getting out of bed... not everyone is a morning person but depression can feel like one if walking through mud where “simple” behaviours can feel harder or more tiresome.

Also, avoiding phone calls/ texts/ etc.

14.) From DA_KING_IN_DA_NORF:

Physically and emotionally abusive relationships are way too common, and most people don't even know that they're being abused. People seem to accept that it's normal for relationships to include yelling, berating, and physical violence if it's their partner doing it to them.

15.) From Chubuwee:

Behavior therapist here.

Not catching your kids being good and only catching them misbehaving.

Examples:

Kid is barely learning ABCs, writes 70% correct, but mom hounds him for the 30% incorrect. Instead of praising what he got right and being positive on what he got wrong like “ Wow you got so many right! These other ones look a bit silly but it was a great try. We’ll work on making those better”

Pairing yourself with negative experiences will cause your kid to want to avoid you. Never acknowledging accomplishments will have your kid stop trying. I don’t do counseling but I have sure recommended it to some families because they become so aversive to each other that none will change and my plan won’t be effective.

16.) From Sull3y2506:

People who take ritalin or adderall to “study better.” Who don’t have ADHD

17.) From Hesiod-Blavatsky:

"If you are not with me, you are against me" mentality, painting everything as black and white, putting people down instead of finding common ground and converging towards smarter, simpler solutions.

18.) From hartscov:

Substance dependence: caffeine, nicotine, alcohol. Socially acceptable so they can slide for a long time before blowing up.

"I highly recommend getting older! There's less tendency to people-please."

-Alanis Morissette

Getting older is a fact of life. As much as we try to resist, it's happening every damn day. These memes expertly nail the hilarious ups and downs of life over 30.

Whether its because of lack of practice or just simple ineptitude, some people absolutely suck at cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping.

Women on social media roasted their partners for failing at these very elementary tasks. While they didn't get what they needed, at least they got the likes.

1. This oven fail.

2. This washing machine fail.

3. This husband who failed to recognize his replacement.

4. This dryer fail (or "fail" if you're one of the skeptical commenters).

5. This food storage fail.

6. This pie-cutting fail.

7. This fridge fail.

8. This butter fail.

9. This disinfectant wipe fail.

10. This sharing fail.

11. This zucchini fail.

12. This shopping fail.

13. This dishwasher fail.

14. This stirrer fail.

15. This potato fail.

Summer during a pandemic isn't exactly the summer we all probably had imagined, but nothing about 2020 is "good."

Drinking alcohol open-container in the street, standing six feet away from your friends in the park and wearing a mask everywhere that causes your upper lip to sweat which then causes the mask to stick to your face so that you have a fun and flirty mask puddle to show off to other masked people is the new "normal." While the masks are uncomfortable and many of us are longing for our old lives, it's critical that we keep following the rules even if it means sacrificing our usual summertime activities. Do they make bathing suits with water-resistant masks attached? Beachwear is going to need to look different this year...

While it might seem like the world is on fire and we haven't been outside or interacted with people in decades, people on Twitter have luckily not lost their sense of humor. Here are the funniest tweets from the weekend to jumpstart your week! Enjoy, and stay safe everyone.

We live in a society that is obsessed with the institution of marriage. As a result, many people, particularly women, are raised with a ridiculous set of expectations about how everything should go, from the engagement to the wedding to all 1,000,000 activities in between. These high expectations often pave the way for entitled and demanding behavior surrounding the process, aka the "bridezilla" phenomenon. And thanks to social media, we now get to bear witness to a lot of this bridezilla behavior in real time. Like the bride-to-be who is being criticized on Reddit for her public post complaining about her boyfriend's "pathetic" proposal.

This might be a legitimate complaint had her boyfriend hidden a dollar store ring in her cup-o-noodles (which would frankly be kind of cute aside from the choking risk). But nope.

The woman's gripe is that her fiancé, who is in the Air Force (thank you to our troops!), proposed to her "in front of an airplane."

The woman says she was "embarrassed" by her fiancé's "pathetic" proposal, so she requested that he propose to her AGAIN somewhere "normal like on the beach."

After a screenshot of the post was shared on Reddit, many commenters shared that they hope the guy rescinded his proposal in response to her entitled, bratty behavior.

Lt_Dickballs wrote:

Hopefully over the next week he’ll realize she isn’t worth proposing too.

But MaximaBlink, who shared the original post, revealed that, unfortunately, the woman ended up getting what she wanted:

Sorry to tell you, this picture cropped the update. He took her to dinner, and proposed on the beach.

She finished the update by saying she's super excited to get his benefits. Not even kidding, went full dependapotomus.

Well, that's disappointapotomus.

People are empathizing with this guy, who just wanted to propose to her in front of an airplane because he's in the DAMN ARMY???!!! Serving our country?????

danimalhollocaust writes:

Lol and then she goes on social media to publicly shame him. Sounds like the start of a very healthy relationship.

And RavynArcadia writes:

That poor poor guy. He should have dropped her ass like a bad habit.

And many predict the marriage won't last.

Xenite_Susan writes:

You can tell right there, that’s a marriage that’s gonna last through the ages. 🙄

And talitinks has anecdotal evidence that does not bode well for this couple:

I knew a girl who made her fiancé propose over with a new ring and was not shy about telling people how he screwed up. They’re divorced now.

And happily married couples are sharing stories about their low-key or casual proposals:

Like Drachenfuer:

I was housesitting for my Mom’s friend. He came over, we ate dinner, watched a movie, said goodnight and he left. I got ready for bed and was sitting on the bed in my pajamas reading a book when he suddenly walked back in. Scared the crap out of me. He sat down on the edge of the bed staring at his hands. I frantically asked him what was wrong because I thought he got in a car accident or something. He finally looks at me and says softly, “Will you be my wife?”

I was so shocked I just stared at hime for a moment then startes tearing up and said, “Yes!” He got all happy then, told me he loved me, gave me a kiss....and left. No ring, no kneeling, no long talks. Probably the most unromantic proposal ever.

We are about to celebrate our 28th anniversary next month.

And RavenAngel23:

My husband said to me, "Here, put this on." We've been married 23 years. There is no perfect proposal just a perfect understanding of what the other person means to you.

Congratulations on 28 years!

And the moral of this story is: miserable entitled people get what they want? But only initially and it probably won't last. And that's how reality TV shows are born.

The 90s sucked, NOT! Truth be told, the 90s were all that and a bag of chips. If you're lucky enough to remember this hella fly decade, these memes will crack you up. Take a journey back to the good old days with these hilariously nostalgic 90s memes.

Everyone's got a list of dealbreakers when it comes to a potential partner — but is it sometimes judgmental to shut someone down before you've even met them?

That's what one man is wondering after he rejected a date with a woman because she has children. He posted on Reddit's "Am I the A-Hole?" forum seeking advice after he said no to a date with the single mom.

The date was supposed to be a set-up from a mutual friend:

I was having lunch with a friend of mine when the topic of dating came up, I told her I wasn’t dating anyone right now and was keen to get back out there.

She mentioned that she had a friend that she thinks I would be a good match with and was also looking to start dating too.

He judged the woman worthy of his attention based on her photo:

She took out her phone and showed me a picture, I was pleasantly surprised and said set it up. She said she would message her and send a picture of me to her too.

But soon changed his mind:

Then she said that it might not be soon as she has trouble finding a babysitter, I said oh, she has a kid? My friend said 2. I was a little disappointed and I think my friend picked up on that and she said if that was a problem? I said yes honestly, I’d prefer to date someone without kids.

His friend pointed out that he liked her before:

My friend said but you liked her picture and I said yes, she is really pretty but dating moms aren’t my thing and are more trouble than they are worth.

She looked a little offended and said you’ve told me you wanted kids one day, I said yes my own not someone else’s. She sat and look perplexed and said I was a dick for turning her down for that reason.

Now he's wondering if he's the a-hole because of his "standards":

I told her I’m sure she’s nice, just not for me. Lunch ended quickly after this. I later got a text saying I disappointed her and she would never try and set me up again. I just replied with I’m sorry you feel that way but we all have our standards.

The people of the internet are divided on this one.

Many, like BlondeinShanghai, say he's entitled to make dating choices like this:

I mean, I think you could be missing out on love, but you are allowed to decide major things, such as when children become such a significant of your life. Additionally, you picked the right time to say no, knowing how you felt about it.

And kellin23 says it's good he didn't waste the single mom's time with a date he didn't even want:

I was a single mom. If you're not into the kids, don't waste her time and money on a sitter.

But PancakesPeanutbutter argues that he didn't have to be so nasty about it:

He said his friend’s friend was “more trouble than she was worth” and below his standards. He declined with a negative sweeping generalization of an entire group of people, when he should have made his decline to date her about himself. He doesn’t want children. He doesn’t like dating single parents. Not it’s “more trouble than she’s worth” (excuse me, what is a person worth anyways? Wtf) and below his standards.

Pyroshavemorefun also suggested using different language next time this comes up:

But if you talk to your friend about it again, I think you should use “dealbreaker” instead of “standard” ...

And midnight_citrus agrees he could've said it more tactfully:

Not wanting to be a step parent is a solid reason not to date someone.

Your wording is a bit icky though. You said you have your "standards". A person with children isn't some dirty low-life. You can be incompatible but that doesn't mean you're better than her.

EuphoricRealist sees why the friend was offended:

as a single mom, our kids are more important than anyone else. You're entitled to your preference and a single mom wouldn't want to waste their time with you.

I think your friend felt hurt for her friend and slight disappointment in you but she expressed it in an angry way.

So the verdict is: it's okay to decline a date with a single parent, but you don't have to be mean about it.

In a perfect world, we'd all get along and love everyone we meet — but the world isn't perfect.

Sometimes, you meet someone and their behavior is an instant turn-off. A recent Reddit thread asked people, "What makes you instantly hate someone?" Here are 21 of the best answers.

1. Superiority during arguments is a turn-off for many.

I hate when people are argumentative about their opinions but refuse to even process counter arguments. They either completely ignore what you say or they cherry-pick a phrase to misconstrue.

In either case they essentially just restate their original argument.

This is all 10x more infuriating when they do this with an air of smugness or superiority. - GoodLordShowMeTheWay

2. Many of us have driving pet peeves.

People who speed up when you put on your turn signal. Also people who don't use turn signals... you know what, honestly just people driving in general makes me hate them. - Stevesegallbladder

3. Some people bond by talking smack.

People who try to befriend you by sh**-talking others to create an 'us versus them' dynamic.

No, I don't hate Other Coworker because they were a bit grympy one day or wore an ugly t-shirt. I do however now hate you for trying to drag me into your sh**. - ipakookapi

4. This one's simple.

Open mouth, closed mind - UrlOtis

5. Judgmental Internet commenters.

People who read one article online and then instantly post and shame the ppl it talks about. Didn’t see the latest obscure study on chicken based dog food? Well f*** you, you hate your dog and are a monster. I think some people go out of their way to be judgmental. - 12345tommy

6. Morning people must be stopped.

Someone who takes great joy in making as much noise as possible super early in the morning when everyone is trying to get some sleep, so that they also wake up. - maskedghostwolf

7. Just let people like what they like!

When I try to connect with someone over a shared hobby/interest, and they shoot me down with some superiority complex. "Cool Darth Vader shirt, I love Star Wars!"

"You love Star Wars huh? What was Watto's cousin's teacher's home world's regional governor's bodyguard's name? YoU dOn'T kNoW?! WHAT A PEON!!!" - ghost0427

8. There's no excuse for littering at this point.

I wouldn't say hate, but I lose all respect for people who litter. Be a decent human being and throw your trash in a garbage bin you waste of breath. - CBtheNomad

9. Sometimes, jokes don't land.

If they legit insult someone and then say "it was just a joke. Why can't you take a joke?!" when the other person gets upset instead of saying that they're sorry. - cannot_describe_it

10. It's hard not to take things personally when you're... a person.

'Why do you take things so personally?'

Um because you personally insulted me? - AlmousCurious

11. Ever notice how the only time this excuse comes up is when the person's being awful?

I hate a "this is just the way I am" type of person. - shehash

12. The worst.

When someone refuses to look at the other side of an argument - ItsAsmodeus

13. The lowest of the low.

People who dont pick up after themselves in public because "that's not their job" - twiride

14. So many people try to get away with this.

Cheating on your SO.

I stopped talking with a good friend of mine because she cheated on my best friend when they were dating. I've been cheated on before, so I know how terrible it feels. - eDgaR-

15. Interrupters need to chill.

Chronic interrupting.

Anyone who wants to jump in with "but I have X/Y/Z problem that means I'm special and can't learn to control my chronic interrupting" - save it. I know it's probably unfair that I hate you and I don't care. - jeannneeebeannneee

16. There should be at least two sides to every conversation.

One-sided conversationalists.

Will never reciprocate a: “How ya doin?” Will take anything you are saying/doing as an invitation to talk about themselves. Will answer questions directed at you, as if it is normal.

Usually they’re also massive complainers.

I have two people (friends of friends) that literally know nothing about me, but I know about the blister on their big toe, or everything about the person they hate at work. - OverlordCatbug

It's hard to believe that summer 2020 is upon us and a lot of us still have no idea what day it is as we figure out how to deal with all the sweat accumulating under our face masks...

Cities across the country are reopening and then closing again (because people can't stop being aggressively dumb) while others have yet to fully reopen at all. Since March, life has felt like a strange series of sweatpants, Netflix, breakfast at all hours, panic-reading and watching the news, and wondering what sort of weapons we'll need to fight a virus that rides on the backs of murder hornets and travels by UFO. While the world is pretty terrifying, people are trying to have the best summer they can while keeping everyone safe and luckily people haven't lost their sense of humor.

When it comes to jokes, Twitter will always reign. So, here are the funniest tweets from the end of June. Enjoy!

It's not easy for any teenage girl to navigate their relationship with their mom (have you seen Freaky Friday???), but it's especially difficult if you're a leftist who supports Black Lives Matter and your mom is White House spin doctor Kellyanne Conway.

The New York Times's Taylor Lorenz reported that one of her friends on TikTok is none other than Claudia Conway, the 15-year-old daughter of Kellyanne "Made Up The Bowling Green Massacre" Conway and George "Writes Anti-Trump Op-Eds So Somebody In The Family Could Still Make Money If This All Ends Badly" Conway.

Claudia, aka @ClaudiaMConway on TikTok, describes herself as "leftist, ACAB, anti-trump, BLM, etc." and has given her followers calls to action.

Her bio reads, "it’s a great day to arrest brett hankison, john mattingly, and myles cosgrove," the names of the cops who shot and killed Breonna Taylor.

In a video of her twerking, she suggested that her followers leave one-star reviews for Trump Organization properties that the president is still illegally profiting from.

The teens are ON IT.

She insists that while she has her mom's genes, she doesn't have her mom's opinions.

"For all the people in my comments whose only personality trait is posting Trump 2020 with an American flag, yes, my mother is Kellyanne Conway, Senior Counselor to the President of The United States...she was also his campaign manager during the 2016 election. So... your point?" She says to the camera. "Your point? Believe it or not, you can have your own opinions, not influenced by your parents at all, simply by educating yourself."

Claudia officially joining the cast of the Conway Soap Opera has spawned theories on whether Kellyanne is actually Anonymous who wrote the notorious op-ed "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" back in 2018.

People are also wondering if the Conways are an elaborately plotted grifter family who are capitalizing on the Trump crisis by playing every possible angle.

Is it a conspiracy... or is it simply Gen Z?

Since the TikToks went viral on Twitter, Claudia seems to be reveling in the increased popularity.

For what it's worth, though, Claudia told her followers not to hate on either her mom or her dad, as they are "both amazing people."

We might not need them to star in a Freaky Friday reboot to learn to love each other, after all.

I think we can ALL agree that America is #1 in thinking we're #1!!!!!! Americans are often raised and conditioned to believe our country is the "best" in the world and everyone else is weird/different/sub-par. Boy, are we wrong.

Someone asked Reddit: "what do Americans think is normal for everyone, but actually it's not normal for anyone but Americans?" The responses highlighted the many facets of American life and culture that seem bizarre and confounding to people in other parts of the world.

These 31 people from the U.S. and all over the globe share the weird, illogical and unique American habits and traditions that seem "normal" only to us:

1.) From TitanicBeta:

Toilet cubicles, where people not only can peek, but an adult person could crawl into your cubicle, there is so much space under the "door".

2.) From glutenfreewater:

Prescription drug ads encouraging people to ask their doctor about the drug being advertised.

3.) From Adam-West:

When I was there during the last election I was shocked at how phrases like ‘well they have the black vote’ or the ‘Latino vote’ came up all the time on the radio. obviously it’s not racist but it’s just something that would never come up in my country. Like, why would latino people all vote for the same person?

4.) From Sasquatch1729:

Similar to this, in the USA 80-90% of the voters don't switch, which is odd to me. Most countries have areas that tend to vote conservative or liberal, but there's a lot more swing. Mostly in the US the ads are aimed at the 10-20% who will change their ballot, the other 80% who vote are "locked-in" as Democrat or Republican supporters/households (I couldn't imagine voting because we're a "Liberal household" or because "Ethnic group X always supports the Conservatives".)

The US House and Senate actually have less turnover than a lot of dictatorships, as people get elected in areas that are Republican or Democrat, then they're pretty much guaranteed a win (as long as they don't lose their nomination or switch parties or retire/die.)

5.) From pourmewhineoh:

Portion sizes.

6.) From WuuutWuuut:

This one is more on the positive side, because I think we could learn some from it.

Talking and sharing your life with complete strangers. I have met quite a few americans so it seems the norm that you share and engage with strangers in public. The bus, train, parks etc. And then you go on your way.

In Denmark you'd be a "freak" if you did that.

7.) From throwawaysmetoo:

Cash bail.

With the discussions going on about changes to bail I've seen a few people saying things like "oh so you're just going to drop cash bail, just gonna decide whether to release people, people are just going to show up to court without the money threat?????!?!?!"

Uh yeah.....as I understand it that's how it works in places all over the world already....

I've been released on cash bail before. I didn't show up to court because of the cash bail, I showed up because warrants are annoying.

8.) From danno49:

Gratuitous violence in entertainment is normal. But show one boob and people lose their shit.

9.) From LampsLookingatyou:

I've heard someone say that we are the only ones who drink out of Solo Cups

10.) From TheThingsWeMake:

Putting a ton of sugar in products like bread.

11.) From I-am-a-Mango:

Being legally allowed to drink only when you reach 21

12.) From alexis0292:

having police patrol the school

13.) From josefpunktk:

Campus police is what got me. I imagine the protest students in Germany would put on if any kind of "police" would have a permanent residency at the campus.

14.) From Legendary-Lynx:

A flag in every corner of a classroom, and Americans being very patriotic to the stars and stripes. Other countries barely give a poop about their flags

15.) From buoninachos:

Circumcision and medical debt

16.) From canesfan09:

Bankruptcy because you went to the hospital

17.) From alltherobots:

American accents.

I mean, everyone thinks their own accent is normal, but I’ve met Americans who think that they have no accent, like theirs is the baseline somehow.

18.) From I_hate_traveling:

Willingly putting yourself massively in debt for a college degree.

I come from a place with free university education (which has its own drawbacks of course), and the fact that you can make such a huge, life-altering decision at 17 is considered normal over there, that seems downright bizarre to me.

19.) From whereditg0:

Just "dealing with" preventable and curable diseases instead of seeking medical attention out of fear of crippling debt.

20.) From K_51:

When you are 18 years old, you can be shipped to a foreign country to kill humans, but you are not allowed to drink alcohol.

21.) From GoodLordChokeAnABomb:

Non-necessary, non-religious circumcision.

22.) From hysteria613:

Suing for any possible reason. It's so common that there are commercials on tv and radio telling you to sue "x" company for "reason". Lawyer ads are also very common because of this.

23.) From SparkySparkiBoomMan:

Being concerned when anyone speaks a language you can't understand.

I live in india and we have 28 language here, with multiple dialects of the each language.

24.) From srocan:

The enabling customer service culture.

It’s created excessive portions in restaurants, created Karen, gives way to a disposable attitude towards products, and generally gives a sense of entitlement where most people start adding it to their list of rights.

25.) From K_51:

Having only two parties: Republicans and Democrats. I know there are some smaller parties, but the system is stacked against them.

26.) From Favres_dick_pic:

While on my travels I've noticed that Americans have a totally different expectation on what service you get in restaurants and cafes and shit in Europe. Like the waiter arrives at their table seconds after they've sat down and takes their order and when he's out of ear shot they complain about the bad service. It's like if they don't get the OMG HOW ARE YOU GUYS MY NAME IS MIGUEL AND I'LL BE YOUR WAITER THIS EVENING and then have their water topped up every 20 seconds then it's bad service

There's probably an enormous bit of selection bias going on here since I haven't noticed the probably hundreds of normal Americans that didn't complain but fuckit

27.) From ButaneLilly:

Driving everywhere.

28.) From NZLion:

Paying people less than minimum wage. How is it a minimum if it's legal to pay less than that?

29.) From hydrogenextraction:

Calling a main course an entree.

30.) From SlyDigits:

Extra large bottomless cups for cola or soft drinks.... you could bathe in those....

31.) From Dorkyporkypoo:

When I went to New York I was flabbergasted by the amount of people just loitering on the streets or having phone conversations that everyone can hear on the train like npcs from GTA.

People outside of the USA don't hang out in public or let other people into their business on public transport.

I managed to hear a woman talk about how her baby daddy wasn't going to her daughters birthday party and I started to pick side's in her personal life, while walking through Central Park I heard two friends with a substantial age gap talk about everyone in their friend group having mistresses and they were trading information on the mistress facts each of them New for their respective friends, I got invested in that one so I folliwed them for a while (pretending I wasn't) because I wanted the tea.

32.) From JoeJayJack:

TV ads for drugs against opioid-induced constipation. It's apparently common for Americans to take so many opioids that they get constipated. Talk about dystopia.

33.) From ScienticianAF:

- Metal detectors in schools

- No paid pregnancy leave

- employment at will states.

- People in public visibly armed with a weapon

- Insurance through your employer

- no payed vacations

- bankruptcies due to medical bills

- Tipping culture

- Free refills

- Yellow school buses

- Almost no bicycle paths
- Separate tax added when you buy a product
- over-sized food and competitive eating

Just a few tings I've noticed since moving here.

A lot of children are raised by a birth parent and a new partner that isn't their mom or dad by blood, but performs all the labors of love and fills that role.

For some children, it's completely natural to call that person "mom" or "dad," while others opt for another nickname in order to keep a clear place in their heart for their birth parent.

The emotional dynamics around this wildly vary depending on the family, and there's no one right way to handle it, which of course makes it even harder when there's familial disagreements.

In a recent post on the Am I The A*shole subreddit, a dad asked if he's wrong for not actively encouraging his son to call his wife mom.

AITA for not encouraging my son to call my wife “mom”?

I’m 31 and my son is 7. My fiancé, his mom, passed away when he was born due to complications. I wanted to keep her memory alive so since he was an infant, I told him all about his mom and constantly showed him pictures of her.

OP shared that his son's mom - his former fiance, passed away during childbirth. Over the years, OP has shown his son pictures and told stories about his mother, so he can form a memory and sense of her.

I always told my son she went up to heaven and is now watching over him. We talk about death whenever he has questions about it so it’s something we‘re open about. He also has a really great relationship with her side of the family so that’s another way he’s connected to her.

OP started dating his current wife when his son was 3, and his son very much loves her.

I started dating my current wife when my son was just 3 but we waited a year before she officially met him. They both bonded instantly and my son adores her.

Fast forward 3 years later, we’re now happily married. This issue happened right after her parents moved closer to our city. They were previously living across the country, so the only time they met me or my son face to face was at our wedding.

During a recent Father's Day brunch, the fact that OP's son doesn't call OP's wife mom came up.

OP wife's family found it strange, given the fact that she functions as OP's mother.

They came over for Fathers Day for a small brunch. While we were all chatting, my son came in and asked “Mimi (my wife’s nickname) can you help me set up my PlayStation please?”

Her mother immediately expressed how bothered she was that he still doesn’t called her mom even though we’ve been married over a year. I didn’t feel like it was a big deal but she refused to stop talking about it and it kinda ruined the afternoon.

A few days later, OP's wife kept receiving phone calls about the issue, and finally revealed that she agrees with her family - it hurts her feelings to not be called mom.

A few days later, my wife said her mom keeps calling her over this and now she sort of agrees too. She said it’s hurtful that he still doesn’t see her as his mom after everything she’s done for him and doesn’t feel appreciated because I haven’t encouraged him to do so.

My son does appreciate her though. He makes her cards every Mother’s Day and tells her how much he loves her. And it’s not like I never spoke to my son about this.

OP feels differently though, since he's had talks with his son about calling his wife "mom," and he knows that his son loves and appreciates her either way.

It was brought up at our wedding. He asked me if this meant he had to start calling her mom. I said only if he wants to and that I know mommy would be okay with him also calling my wife his mom. Just so he wouldn’t worry about that.

He said okay and ran off to go play with his cousins and didn’t mention it again. I figured now that he knows it’s okay, he’ll call her mom when/if he was ready.

OP's wife knows this, but still feels hurt that she hasn't yet been called mom, and feels OP should be more in her corner about this.

She knows all this but said she still feels she deserves to be called “mom” especially since she’s been in his life longer than his mother. That comment struck a nerve and I told her to never say anything like that again. We had a big argument over this and now we’re not talking.

OP doesn't want to pressure his son, and would rather any use of "mom" come naturally.

She still thinks she deserves for me to get him to start calling her mom and I believe he should do it on his own if he wants to. I understand where she’s coming from but I also don’t want to pressure him if that’s not what he wants to call her.

But am I being an a*shole for not trying to do this for my wife since it’s what she wants?

Kay_Elle agrees with OP in thinking the kid should call the shots.

NTA - I had a friend who was forced to call his stepdad "dad" and really it did not improve the relationship.

Your son should do this of his own volition, or not at all.

I'm sorry this hurts your current wife, but she's the adult and should understand. Just because she's not his "mom" doesn't mean he can't love her. It's not a competition.

Menarra loved their step-dad growing up, but still didn't call him dad.

NTA, I grew up not knowing my dad until he came in and out of my life a couple times in my teens. My stepdad was amazing with me and I can't thank him enough, but I never called him dad and we talked about it once and he made it clear I never needed to. We still have a great relationship and help each other all the time even now in my 30's. Mom and Dad are simply titles, you don't need them, and getting hung up on them isn't good for the relationship.

wookiesandcream1 thinks OP and his wife should hit up couple's therapy.

NTA.

He should be asking himself why his wife feels this is the only thing that represents respect to her. Why do all of the other things the son has said and done with Mimi get trumped by a title? Why does she place so much importance on this instead of his actions? Why do her feelings, an adult, trump his son's feelings?

His wife has lost all perspective and needs to immediately let this go. It is his son's choice whom he calls mom, not for anyone else to say or comment on. He lost his mother before he had a chance to even know her and Mimi is worried about being called mom?? Everyone needs to back off and let him have control over this. WTF is the matter with people. Her comment would lead me to couples counseling ASAP. It was so gross and inappropriate and selfish.

cultqueennn thinks OP should stick to his guns, and let the relationship between his son and wife evolve naturally.

NTA.

He had a mom that sadly passed away. Your wife needs to stay in her lane instead of forcing herself into a role that your son doesn't WANT her in. Mimi is a good name and if he feels comfortable enough, maybe he will call her mom in time. But if he doesn't, that HIS right Forcing him to do it, will only cause a problem.

And honestly, that comment 'she was longer in his life than his mom's is disturbing and I wouldn't glance over that. Sounds like she's in a sick competition with a dead woman and make your conclusion.

Funkativity pointed out just how complex this all must be for a 7-year-old.

NTA - she needs to get over herself.

"Mom" is an abstract concept to him, it's stories that he's been told, it's a hole in his life that he doesn't really understand.

These are all really complex emotions for a 7yo to figure out, your wife needs to take her ego out of it and let him deal with this without pressuring him.

While it's clear people online agree with OP's line of reasoning, that doesn't automatically fix the current dynamics. Hopefully, going forward, OP and his wife are able to come to a place of agreement that prioritizes the mental health of his son.

People usually send flowers to congratulate someone or offer sympathy for a loss, but sometimes flowers seem like the only solution to a serious mistake or just an overall awkward situation.

Guilt flowers or jewelry are common when people cheat and are trying to scramble for a way to apologize, but what about if you broke somebody's toilet or accidentally broke someone's nose? Florists often write beautiful cards for flower recipients and while the normal notes are usually "Happy Birthday," or "You're a great mom," people forget that florists also have to write "You were right about Linda," sometimes...

Remember, if you're going to send a deeply personal note with your flower delivery, the recipient is not the only one reading it. I'm sure the floral shop staff group chats are out of control. So, when a recent Reddit user asked florists of the internet, "what is the most outrageous card message you’ve had to deliver with flowers?" people were ready to share the funniest and wildest cards they've been asked to send.

1.

My friends dad is a florist, and on a Mother’s Day bouquet he printed a card that said “thanks for making me” - PM_Me_UrRightNipple

2.

Former flower delivery guy. Two memorable messages included Valentine roses with "You know who... The Elk Hunter" and another card that referenced "strawberry toe sundaes." - kevbo9000

3.

My personal favorite so far:

"Sorry I knocked up your friend.

From: David." - xelo_pyke

4.

"Thanks for letting me borrow your deodorant!" It was an edible arrangement - portal-for-post-its

5.

We used to have a card that had a picture of a dog in a doghouse in it, used that one WAY too many times. Once someone had me write "sorry, but I'm choosing her. You can have the kids." Thought that was pretty brutal. I used the doghouse card, thought it was appropriate. - Dumbodumbo99

6.

she spent 20 minutes finding the perfect sympathy card just to write “Sorry you’re such a dumb bitch.” - ConfusedMidwesterner

7.

My husband likes to send me flowers to work for Valentines Day with awkward messages knowing my coworkers will gush and ask me what it says. This year’s card just said “Epstein didn’t kill himself.” It was in old lady handwriting so I can only imagine what the florist was thinking. - rosegoldfancy

8.

Not really a card message (though he might have written that on a card eventually), but while I was working as a florist a guy asked me to help select what kind of flower he should get to tell his girlfriend "Sorry I cheated on you". So, that. - Makkel

9.

got a lot of sorry I cheated on you but one that really stuck out was “I’m so sorry jean has cancer, you can have the decorative plates back love marienne” - nancysinatraschild

10.

I worked for 1800Flowers. The worst one I ever got said: To my one and only. I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was married. - keystonepaloalto

11.

"Welcome to Dumpville. Population you" And he did it allthetime. Every time he got a new girlfriend, he would never send them flowers the whole time they were going out. Only when he dumped her. Fucking guy, man. - kevnmartin

12.

I delivered for a floral company. I wish I had more context but card read “We’re so sorry about your nose”. We had a little chuckle about it at shop but when college aged girl opened door with a smooshed nose I absolutely lost it. Pretty much forced the flowers in her hands and ran to the car so she couldn’t see me laughing. I don’t know what’s wrong with me - HighlyUnaccomplished

13.

"I removed these from nature so that you can watch them slowly die in your house." - coleosis1414

14.

We hand wrote our notes and they requested a poo emoji. I complied. I bet that masterpiece is hanging on a wall right now. - seattletrav

15.

"I feel bad for wrecking your two lips so I got you some tulips" - throwrahousearrest

16.

"I feel bad for wrecking your two lips so I got you some tulips" - BeCarefulILoveYou

17.

"I'm sorry I had sex with your friend. Please forgive me!" It was an edible arrangement called the 'delicious celebration'. - theveryleastfavorite

18.

My grandmother did flower work and one of the coworkers had to write a message saying “Sorry about the toilet, I’ll pay you back when I can”

Apparently they broke the toilet pretty badly but she had no idea what exactly happened. But hey they could afford the flowers. - lachrymose_lucio

19.

"To peepee. Much love, from poo."

I think I still have a picture of that one somewhere - WanderingSnake

Renting out your home on Airbnb might seem like a great way to earn some extra bucks, and even maybe make some new international friends! But it turns out, letting complete strangers crash in your home doesn't always go as planned. In fact, it can be a sh*t show. Sometimes literally.

Someone asked Airbnb hosts of Reddit: "what has been your worst experience with a guest?" These 17 nightmare stories from hosts might make you think twice before renting out your guest room to a stranger:

1.) From geminidae:

I used to travel a lot for work and I would put my apartment up on Airbnb while I was away.

My apartment has a bunch of closets and drawers which I used to leave empty and at my guests' disposal. However there is ONE closet in the bedroom which I kept locked cause it is where I keep my personal belongings.

One time a guest left a bad review saying that the place had no storage space which I was very confused about until I got home and saw my closet: dude had tried to open it using brute force, the door was almost pulled off its hinges and the wood was chipped in some places. The door in question had TWO PADLOCKS, and the perfectly usable closet on the opposite wall was untouched.

2.) From Gustavuka:

Rented out to a group of 4 girls. Turns out they were going partying everyday during their stay.

I get called one day at 5am, Its the guard from my building telling me theres a passed out girl in the lobbys couch, puking and pissing herself. None of her friends had gone back to help her. Ruined the couch obviously.

The next day they send me a message again, another one of the girls had sprinted to the building stairs and ALSO pissed herself.

3.) From HTwatter:

A friend of mine rented to a girl who was convinced that there were cameras hidden all around the unit. She dismantled the lighting fixtures, picture frames, medicine cabinets, remote controls, etc.

Edit: This occurred in 2015. They were live-in hosts renting out the main part of their home. She also de-potted plants, removed smoke detectors, hid all of the refrigerator magnets, and destroyed her cell phone. They were compensated by Air bnb.

4.) From ishmoo21:

Dude stole my $120 sneakers and broke my tv

5.) From adsadsadsadsads:

We are live-in hosts, so we are present while guests stay in our spare room.

A guest arrived and immediately announced that they had shit himself during their journey. They then marked us down for cleanliness. Mate, you shit yourself.

Also a guest who "found" a pair of my flip flops in a wardrobe that they should not have opened, then shit over the bathroom floor, ruining my favourite flip flops in the process.

ALSO, a guest who went out drinking for ten hours before checking in, meaning I had to collect them from the taxi, put them in bed in the recovery position, check on them when I woke up for work, then call the taxi company on their behalf when it turned out they'd lost their phone.

6.) From Halemari26:

I worked in a call center that handles some of Airbnb's customer service. So, one guest murdered 2 people in the host's home and got arrested there. Another guest was from a culture that eats iguanas and barbecued up a 7 year old girl's pet iguana to serve to the family as thanks for hosting him. Another guest filled a mug with human SHIT and left it in the host's microwave.

You really lose all faith in humanity working in customer service call centers.

And the iguana man was forced to pay for both a new barbecue for the family and a replacement iguana.

7.) From dudebg:

Carpets? Jizzed. Curtains? Jizzed. Dining table? Jizzed. Sink? Jizzed. Sheets? Somehow survived unjizzed.

8.) From bardabush:

One dude stole my trimmer. This other guy took the cake though. When I took him the second key to the apartment that his mother needed, he opened the door slightly ajar and only extended his hand, palm facing up, to receive the key. Didn’t want to shake my hand. Sent me messages complaining to me that drawers in the bathroom were full of personal stuff (one was full of items that we purposefully leave for guests to use, including new pads, soaps, toothbrushes). He was annoyed by this and said I’ll just move this to one of the bedside tables in the master bedroom shall I, which is also full anyway (there, we leave blocks and pens for guests to use, as well as reading material like the Economist or guides to the city). This also annoyed him. He also complained about food that we leave for guests to partake of and be welcomed by. Upon leaving, guy leaves a massive, scathing review including hot takes like the linens and pots being worn out and needing replacement (they’re not and they don’t — they’re also top of the line), says the apartment was dirty upon entering (it wasn’t, it was thoroughly cleaned before his arrival, as it is before every guest’s arrival). He concludes by complaining the taxi ripped him off (I’m guessing the insinuation is that I was in cahoots with the taxi company? I don’t know). His mother was nice though.

9.) From jeanlukie:

My wife and I were hosts for about a year to make ends meet. We had just moved to a new town so she could attend grad school. Guests had full access to the second floor while we lived on the first. Met a lot of cool people and ended up getting super host status.

Last guests we ever had were an older couple that had traveled a lot. They seemed fine and we had a nice conversation and they seemed fine with the accommodations. Keep in mind up until this point we had never gotten less than 5 stars from dozens of guests.

Later that night I was at my job, bartending. Busy evening and home boy roles up saying he needs to talk with me outside. I hurry out trying to accommodate him and also get back to my busy shift. He proceeds to lay into me at my place of work about how our space wasn’t up to Airbnb standards and they won’t be staying there and some friends found them another place to stay that night. I was confused but okay sure bud I’ll give you the full refund you’re asking for. He goes on his way. We refund everything we had gotten from them. Airbnb did not refund the taxes and fees per their own terms and conditions.

I think his main complaint ended up being a spider web under the bed and that there wasn’t AC upstairs. Mountain town on the east coast of US in the summer. It was warm but there were fans and it wasn’t unbearable. I can understand why he’d want to stay somewhere else though.

Anyways we think it’s all behind us and my wife and I embark on a cross country road trip a few days later to check out the country and go see her family on the west coast. First day the guy starts blowing us up through Airbnb messaging saying he didn’t get all his money back and to send him the rest. We had returned all the money we got. We told him to take up the rest with Airbnb and that we couldn’t help him. He was flipping out saying we were bad at business and there were other avenues to get him his money back like Venmo and some other crazy stuff to the point we had to contact Airbnb to take care of it so he would stop contacting us. He basically wanted us to pay him for taking away our opportunity to make some money off other guests that weekend and for him to insult us and our home.

It was a crazy stressful situation at the beginning of a long trip and influenced us to find a roommate instead of continuing with Airbnb hosting.

We also had a dude and his girlfriend who were probably in their late 40s get absolutely hammered, come back around midnight and she was throwing up in the yard while he laid on our living room floor with our dog talking junk about his girlfriend and asking us for weed. They were alright but left about 40 empty cans up in the room for me to clean up.

My friends' airbnb guest taught their kitten to meow once, and then the quietest sweet needy cat turned LOUD and needy. 'Twas a curse that kept on giving long after he left.

My partner looks after an AirBnB for his friend..self catering only, the house is an 1800s big country house...it is used primarily for large get togethers and parties. Most guests are great and clean up well to get their deposit back. A group stayed and left the place pretty messy. But we couldn't figure out what the smell was. Turns out they left a full PIG in a rubbish bag under the kitchen table. They tried to cook a pig on a spit and basically left it's mainly raw corpse under the table. Every toilet was destroyed too. Must have eaten the semi charred meat on the outside of the pig when drinking without realizing that it was F*CKIng RAaaw (sorry Gordon Ramsey).

My mum did this. She had some people from out of country come stay.

They moved the furnature around, swapped and moced mattresses, left a massive pile of dishes in the kitchen, the bathroom was all buggered, and they must've been cooking and smashing clams or oysters shell in and around the bbq outside. I went over to help my mum out a little after work for a bit, but it was a 2 day minimum cleanup job she had to do. Mum even had to bring in a cleaner lady to belp as well.

Needless to say, the people who stayed didnt get their deposit back and got a file reported on them.

Not my story but a friend of mines. He has an apartment in London, an urban area with dense houses and population. The aprtment he hosted has this window facing main street which people tend to assume its non-see-through but it's not.

So the guy who stayed in it decided to sit infront of that naked and had a few beers, overlooking the great view. He must have fallen a sleep or something and everyone passing by the road just had to see this poor creature... It was all on snapChat at the time I recall, LMAO...

I hosted for a few years (as a "super host"), and frankly I had lovely guests - very cool, intelligent, well traveled, interesting people from all over the world. They were all pretty tidy too and considerate.

The only annoying thing was people who talked way too much. Normally, people would exchange pleasantries and we'd chit chat for a bit, which is totally fine & welcome. But, every once in a while, I'd get a guest who talked nonstop from the time they got in until they went to bed.

The rental suite was fantastic - like its own separate apartment - fully stocked with everything I would want if I were a guest.

And yet, there were a few people who had to hang out on my floor and talk talk talk talk...

When I got an over talker, sometimes I would hide when I heard them coming, so they'd go ahead to their floor. Bc I just could not stand someone talking at me from 7 pm until 11pm.

15.) From Fuzzy688:

These ladies got locked out because all three didn’t bring any of the spare keys. I had to leave a meeting since they demanded I let them inside. Since I left them all spares and my original, had to climb up two stories by building a makeshift Marv from Home Alone style stack of boxes and break in my own apartment to open the door from the inside for them. They gave me my only negative rating out of about 20.

Co hosted a super host air bnb fit about four years. Never had any crazy property damage or violent guests but there was this one time...

There was a group of girls in town for a bachelorette party who were also nurses. They stayed without any problems and seemed to clean up alright after themselves, suffer from the obligatory overflowing recycling (alcohol bottles etc). That is until I saw a weird speckle on the duvet. It looked like someone had flicked red paint and I figured it was blood and went to get some hydrogen peroxide before bleaching. But as I looked up, I noticed another small smattering on the blinds. Then the door. And the wall. Each one was almost too small to detect if you weren't paying attention, but they had my attention now so I proceeded through the whole house (white btw for easier cleaning/bleaching between guests) on a magical mystery tour of tiny blood splatters. Furniture, blinds, sheets, tables, walls, you name it. The trail encompassed the whole house. It wasn't until I got to the bathroom that I deciphered what must've happened. There, in the bathroom in the trash were used syringes, IVs, and tubes ask covered in blood and boldly greeting me with no lining.

Having several friends in the medical industry who also like to drink, I was aware that they sometimes employ the help of a saline drip to sober up. Well these ladies must've been shlammered because they could NOT figure out how to get those IVs in and created a Jackson Pollock of bad decision juice all over the house as they fumbled to destroy the evidence of their bender.

Took me all day to find and bleach everything. Had to cancel the next guest cause I was so paranoid that I hadn't gotten to and sanitized every inch of that house. That was enough to ban bachelorette parties forever.
