Enjoy these quick, lighthearted takes on the wonderfully unexpected.

"My girlfriend and I (finally) got a PlayStation 5 so naturally we did a fake maternity and newborn shoot with it."

This is next-level PlayStation love. I can’t believe someone staged a full maternity and newborn photoshoot for a PS5! The effort, the props, the matching sweaters…this is relationship goals, honestly. Welcome to the family, little PlayStation.

"My gf left this warning for me on my pillow"

That’s probably the most considerate, honest, and hilarious love note ever left on a pillow. You know you’ve found your human when they warn you of potential nocturnal sheet damage with a doodle. Nothing says intimacy like discussing potential bed explosions with a smile and a heart.

"An international student hospitalised in China and the nurse who couldn’t speak English, informed him about his surgery with this note."

I’d be both reassured and slightly terrified to get this surgery note in the hospital. Minimal English, maximum clarity—with some impressive knife-drawing skills. At least you know exactly what’s on the schedule for tomorrow morning!

"Dedicating a book…"

Not all dedications are heartfelt poems—sometimes you just need to keep it painfully real. At least the author knows their strengths! I bet their mom is equally grateful for the chosen profession.

"10 years since Bill Gates told me that lunch was a once a day thing."

Office software really said ‘dream on, buddy.’ Imagine trying to book two lunches in one day and being shut down so hard by Microsoft Outlook. A gentle reminder from your calendar that life’s simplest joys have bureaucratic limits.

“The tides have turned.”

We love a generational split in airport waiting behavior: reading, reading, phone, phone. The family evolutionary chart of waiting for flights contained in a single row. Which will prevail—digital distraction or analog escapism?

“my husband left this in my camera roll for me”

Not going to lie, this is exactly the kind of thing that makes scrolling through your camera roll a journey of joy and low-key horror. Surprise! Here’s your husband’s face, in extreme close-up, for all of August.

“Currently Africa by Toto is winning for our graduation song and someone doesn’t approve”

Someone feels very strongly about not making ‘Africa’ the class anthem, but clearly, others are ready to bless the rains one last time. The passion on both sides makes graduation sound way more interesting than it probably should be.

“My dad sent me this.”

I feel personally seen by this sign. The caffeine struggle is real, and the quest for ‘healthy habits’ gets roasted in one sentence. Green tea might have its fans, but nothing fills the existential hole quite like a good cup of coffee. Sorry, leafy water.

“Justin explains the name behind his Nut Butter”

Sometimes you don’t have the bandwidth for clever branding. Justin naming everything Justin is possibly the most human exhaustion I’ve ever seen on a label. Proud of your work, Justin. Please, let the man rest.

"My mom said this was one of my favorite things to do as a child."

This is adorable and chaotic all at once. Just a kid, shorts up to their armpits, living their best mischievous life. Proof that fashion and happiness peaked early for some of us.

“””Shirtception” – my favorite gift every year from my brother. We’re now at level 7.”

The layered shirt tradition is now entering shirt-ception territory, and it’s somehow both ridiculous and magical. Props for commitment to the annual gag. At some point, the shirt is just going to be one infinite loop.

"When my wife’s school said they had BBQ for Teacher Appreciation week, she was excited to hear to there was a vegetarian option! It was a potato with BBQ sauce"

Ah yes, the classic ‘vegetarian option’—a solitary baked potato and a cup of BBQ sauce as an afterthought. That’s some next-level culinary creativity right there. This is probably not what anyone had in mind for Teacher Appreciation, but hey, at least it’s…something?

“Max must NOT be allowed in the library.”

Max just wants to live his best life among the books, but the library has spoken. I love how gently authoritative this sign is. Sorry, Max—you’re a legend but rules are rules.
