“Went to my convocation and this is the number they assign me”
Of all the numbers for my convocation lineup, I just had to get this one. You couldn’t assign me something a little less emergency-themed? Guess I’ll be on high alert for the rest of the ceremony, just in case. At least it’s a memorable graduation moment!
“Bags (don’t) fly free”
You might not get a free checked bag, but hey, here’s a couple complimentary napkins to soften the blow. That’s what I call next-level consolation. At least they didn’t charge extra for the paper napkins yet. Thanks for the small victories, Southwest.
“You’d think they woulda seen that coming”
A class on prophecy canceled due to unforeseen circumstances? That’s next-level irony right there. If only someone had, I don’t know, predicted this. Maybe next time they’ll see it coming before it makes the sign out front.
“I made a firepit this past weekend”
Is it just me or is this the most expressive firepit ever? I can’t decide if it’s terrified or just surprised at its own flames. Either way, I feel bad for that Lego head. It looks like it’s screaming for help as the fire crackles on top!
“Someone stole my screwdriver at work, so I made this note on my computer”
Honestly, this might be the most passive-aggressive sticky note I’ve ever seen. The drawing really drives home the point—return the screwdriver or deal with a sad cyclops. It’s like office theft meets interpretive art. I hope the tool thief feels the guilt.
“This can’t be real, right?”
This law firm name cannot be real. It feels like one of those joke names from a late-night comedy skit. Did they really not notice? You know you’re in for a wild legal ride when the sign out front already sounds suspicious.
“Uber EATS censored part of my customers delivery instructions.”
Sometimes auto-censorship just makes things way more suspicious. Was it that serious to censor ‘Big Black Gate’? At least Google Translate isn’t having it. If anything, the translation just clears up the mystery—even if it feels a tad too dramatic at first glance.
“This one doesn’t keep the doctor away”
That looks like the last thing you’d want to take to keep the doctor away. The ‘Pain Apple’ isn’t exactly the fruit of health! Maybe it’s just a translation gone wrong, or maybe someone’s having fun in the bakery.
“Found in an old family cookbook.”
I was not ready for this recipe to go here! ‘Elephant Stew’—just a little something for your next gathering of 3,800 hungry friends. The side note about optional rabbits and hare is absolutely wild. Guess it’s always good to keep things flexible?
“Snapped this while driving from Ohio to Indy. Didn’t even notice the dinosaur. So much to unpack.”
Driving by, I would have completely missed the dinosaur. But the giant cross and the ‘URANUS is Open’ sign already had me questioning reality. There’s just so much happening at once here. Religious iconography, prehistoric creatures, and planetary puns—roadside America at its weirdest.
“Best one I’ve seen yet”
Whoever drew Gandalf on this coffee cup and wrote ‘You Shall Not Pass’ wins today. I almost feel bad breaking the spell to drink it. Imagine getting this just as you’re about to face Monday. This is how caffeine becomes an epic quest.
“My kid got mad at me and decided to write me a couple of notes to express his feelings.”
Kid rage at its finest! I just got roasted with a ‘long neck, you ugly’ giraffe and a note saying ‘I hate you random person.’ Ouch. Sometimes the emotional honesty of children is both hilarious and a little savage. The artistic flair just adds to the sting.
“I now have an advertisement stuck in my head…genius!”
If I had a dollar for every time an ad jingle got stuck in my head… I’d probably use it to rent space for more jingles. This one is clever and a little too effective! Genius marketing or mild annoyance? Either way, it’s living rent free in my brain now.
“Taking a cat hostage is too mean!”
Wait, is someone actually holding a cat hostage in this neighborly feud? This drama has escalated way past the missing garden tools stage. Hope Melissa caves soon, because that’s one purr-sonal issue. Give the fur baby back!
“Typical scenery in Gdynia, Poland”
Wild boars and napping on benches? Guess it’s a regular day in Gdynia! This feels like something out of an urban legend. That guy will wake up with the wildest story—or with new boar friends. Either way, unforgettable.
“They put a baby door in my pet gate.”
When your pet gate comes with a convenient baby door, you know someone messed up big time. That’s maximum chaos potential. All it takes is a tiny opening for a kid to escape. Might as well roll out the red carpet for toddler shenanigans.
“Legend says he’s still waiting to potty.”
Legend has it, this frog is still waiting outside the restroom. Hoping to use the facilities like the rest of us. Sometimes you just have to admire a frog’s patience. May we all find something we’re willing to wait for this long.
“Poor Porsche can’t find its glasses.”
You know you’re having a rough day when even a Porsche can’t find its glasses. The struggle is universal: fancy, fast, and still squinting. This car deserves a little help—and maybe some big, stylish frames.
“Gave my robot vacuum anime eyes and now I feel bad yelling at it”
I gave my robot vacuum anime eyes, and now my house feels way more judgmental. Suddenly I’m apologizing to my appliances. It’s harder to yell at something when it’s looking at you like a misunderstood sidekick.
“OSHA approved”
This Whataburger employee is redefining OSHA protocol. Standing on a ladder on top of an SUV? Creativity or danger—why not both? Just another day on the job… OSHA-certified, right?
“A dove just left an egg here and left”
A dove just left a single egg on my window ledge and dipped. Is this bird the ultimate minimalist? Hope it comes back soon, otherwise I’m officially a landlord for abandoned eggs.
“This corn based website I was allowed to make for a work demo”
Welcome to the internet’s greatest niche: premium corn content. With an age-verification pop-up, no less. It’s wholesome—or is it? Cornhub vibes all day. Popcorn, sweet corn, and nothing but kernels.
“My cat just casually watching the Roku screensaver while I do my homework.”
My cat’s new favorite pastime: chilling and watching the Roku screensaver while I do my homework. Cats really get the art of multitasking (or napping). I’ve got to step up my relaxation game to match this feline.
“Woofs of wisdom”
The wisest of educators, leading a room full of students with calm patience. This dog has the floor—and probably all the right answers. Let’s be real: everyone learns best from a four-legged professor.
“Seen at today’s Red Sox vs. Braves game in Atlanta”
Nothing like going out to a ballgame and spotting someone with the most legendary custom jersey. The commitment here is real. You know you’ve made it when nobody can say your name with a straight face.
“An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.”
An ‘ounce of mirth’ is the truest life advice. Amid all the weirdness, it’s the giggles that make things better. A little levity goes a long way, especially when you’re stuck in the middle of the everyday grind.
“While on a tour in the Everglades we saw an alligator AND a croc!”
It’s not every day you spot both an alligator AND a “croc” in the same trip. The Everglades are pulling out all the stops on this tour. Nature’s ultimate flex: double reptiles for the price of one!
“An exam with consideration and understanding”
Finally, an exam with real empathy. Crying is permitted, just keep it quiet. That’s the kind of support we need in high-stakes tests. At least the instructions are honest about the emotional rollercoaster.
“Is it just me or is this potato winking at me?”
Pretty sure this potato just winked at me mid-roast. Is it flirting, or plotting my downfall? Cooking just got a lot more intense. Send help—and maybe a new batch of potatoes.
“Found this in my IT ‘accompanying student book’. Can’t believe they let this one slip past!”
There’s a wild new audio format in my IT student book and apparently it stands for Original Gangsta Gangsta. OGG just got an upgrade. It’s hilarious, but also makes you wonder who let this slide.
“Down, I tell you. Down!”
Lids down, hazards avoided. This toilet sign might be dramatic, but the message couldn’t be clearer—save the planet, one flushed lid at a time. Don’t want to run out of water because someone left the seat up!
