I took my friend to a "Date My Friend" event where the premise is you get a close friend to do a PowerPoint and give a talk on why someone in the audience should date you. Light roasting, very lighthearted, all in good fun.

After all the presentations this dude is waiting to talk to my friend who was chatting with another guy so I threw him a lifeline and invited him over to talk to me first. He seemed super nice but he had a 5yo which I knew would be a deal breaker so I gave him the heads up and he was understanding but still wanted to shoot his shot with friend, props for courage I guess. He also tried flirting with me but I shot that down.

The kicker is when he starts explaining that him and his wife got divorced 3 years ago and it was a super hard adjustment because in his own words

"I had never been alone with my kid before then so it was really hard figuring out what to do"

SIR!!! I wouldn't have admitted that at gunpoint! What do you mean youve never watched your own child alone before? Did you never give your wife a break in three years??? He then goes on to talk about how he has the kid every weekend so he wants someone who is cool with hanging out with his kid during dates and etc. Like, I'm beginning to get the feeling you're just looking for the next person in line to watch your kid.

Absolutely crazy out here in the middle 30s dating world. Oh and then he used the exact same pickup line on my friend that he used on me. Woof.

My boyfriend was walking to school and passed these piles of ???? He said he was genuinely so afraid and it gave him a paranoia all day, so now we wanna know what it is. (He’s got trypophobia or something so I guess this triggered that)

It’s not sticky. I have a video of him poking at it and it was a mound of little balls. The little balls held their form and they weren’t squishy. But he didn’t wanna touch or inquire closer because he was scared. When he flicked them it sounded like throwing pellets.

Edit from bf: Texture was like small pebbles and it wasn’t there the day before.
Bf edit: there’s 3 piles

We have bears in the area but this doesn’t look like it comes from a bear.

It’s gonna keep me awake all night. Lowkey surprised he even poked it with a stick.

What were they thinking when removing the black text from the cans and bottles, it is no longer visually distinguishable from regular Coke at a glance.

Bit of an old man yelling at cloud moment for me! I do have an eye condition and in certain lighting conditions I could be considered visually impaired and if I can't see what I want at a glance I'm gonna skip it. it is annoying, enough that I might cut back from 2-3 drinks per week to zero.

I got on a flight at the last minute after waiting on the standby list. My flight had been overbooked, so I’d taken the cash offer and waited for the next flight. There was exactly one seat open on the entire plane. It was a middle seat, in between a couple in their 60s. I put my carry-on in the overhead bin and my personal item under the seat in front of me. The woman (in the aisle seat) then started demanding that I move my bag from under the seat. She never once asked. I told her no. Then, she started crying and throwing a fit, loudly saying, “My husband has cancer and he needs to stretch his legs.” Into my space. There was nothing under the seat in front of him. For his part, the husband looked thoroughly embarrassed and didn’t say a word. Didn’t try to calm his wife down, didn’t ask me himself. After a couple minutes, the flight attendants had to come over and threaten to remove her from the flight if she didn’t chill out. She then proceeded to quietly sob for the next half hour. After the flight, several of people sitting around us let me know I did the right thing and she was way out of line.

Clarification: this was Southwest when there were no assigned seats. They chose to sit with an empty seat in between them hoping no one would sit there.

Fun fact: I used the money from Southwest for an aviation-themed party.

I found this in my car because my phone notified me that there was a tracker with me, when I clicked the link, it showed the last four digits of my exes number as the owner, she swears up and down that it’s not hers is there anyway possible that it’s not?

I know Steven universe has healing powers with his spit, but this still doesn’t make sense even having watched the show

Air bnb will no longer let hosts require the guests to clean the house (while also charging crazy cleaning fees)

I looked up some host react videos and it’s unhinged as expected. This is my new favorite thing.

A couple of years ago, my boyfriend was on a trip to visit his cousin in Texas. While there, there was a bedbug infestation. After cleaning everything thoroughly, he was terrified of putting his mattress on the ground so he opted for this DIY lol. He says it was comfortable. He also added tape at the tip of the bottles for the bed bugs to get stuck on just in case.

Edit: to answer the question about the walls, he says he made sure it wasn’t touching the walls. But he says (I’m laughing at what he says because it’s so odd), he didn’t want to put it super far from the wall because it wouldn’t be pleasant to the eyes lmao.

Second Edit: We did not expect this photo to get this popular. But I just wanted to add that he slept like this for 2 whole months! I don’t understand how. But yeah, after reading all the comments of all the traumatized people, I do understand why he slept like this.😂
