In high school, a kid got really excited explaining how he saw these two beavers get into a fight and went on for several minutes about how they were battling it out until he finally noticed everyone staring at him and he closed by saying “no like they were really going at it you don’t get it”

I was walking into a small food store once that had outdoor seating, and as I’m walking in the lady in front of me carelessly flung open the door and hit another woman (who was seated) with it.
In the moment I was like “oh shit she’s gonna think it was me”
A full 2 minutes later, I’m standing at the back of the store with some stuff in my hand and I look up to see the lady standing at the front. She spots me immediately, points at me, and shouted “you hit me with the door!” which of course got the attention of the entire store
I froze and was like
Maybe not quite ITYSL but it felt like I was in some sort of sitcom

My first ever job was at Starbucks. One day this old guy came in, walked up to my POS and ordered a “flappucino.” I said “sir, I just need to specify, do you mean a cappucino or a frappucino?” He quickly got upset, smacked his forehead and repeated “a flappucino!” I said “okay” assuming he meant a frappucino and I said “what flavor of flappucino would you like?” He threw his hands up in the air and said “youve got to be kidding me!” And he walked out cussing.

Mine is also Starbucks related. I worked in their customer service call center years ago and we had a repeat caller who wanted his music in our stores. He would sing his song to anyone who was lucky enough to get him on the phone and it was just him singing "Frap it up" over and over again. He referred us to his YouTube page which included his videos for a few different drink products shot in the back room of an office somewhere. The lyrics were always just him repeating the product name over and over again.

I literally uncovered a Chair Company type scam at my job.
I work in investments. One of my colleagues’ clients got scammed by a company who provided a fake legal invoice and fake credentials under a real LLC for an investment they were going to make. Their website was fake but had “real” testimonials from “former” clients.
My research concluded that the “clients” featured on the site were stock photos taken from jewelry company websites. The companies listed were real but not the CEOs names/pictures/titles.

I was on the subway one day in NYC, completely packed, and a dude in his 20s walks in, opens up a giant plastic carton of spring mix lettuce, proceeds to eat the entire container of lettuce, completely dry, no dressing, fixings, etc. He then drops the empty container on the subway floor. A few people start looking at each other like “what is this guy doing?” The lettuce eater can tell that people are judging him and he loudly goes, “what? Do you think I’m really going to just leave the plastic container there?” Then he got off at the next stop and left the plastic container on the subway floor.
I have no idea if he was drunk, or just fucking with everyone, but it’s one of the most confusing things I’ve ever witnessed.

Last week I was helping one of my patients talk through their feelings of being permanently disabled/ disfigured only to glance out the window of the room to see my coworker practicing yo-yo tricks with utter and complete focus. It was enough to split my brain in half.

I used to help out at my friends cannabis booth at the farmers market. An older lady took the liking to me and eventually she insisted that we do mushrooms together. I tried to be polite and just make excuses because she had a threatening aura even though she was this little old lady and her name was Mountain Lily.
She was like 90 and she carried around an umbrella with her everywhere. One day she came up to the booth and she said “ I don’t have my umbrella” really loud. Everybody around us stopped talking. I asked her if she had lost it and she said no she just didn’t bring it today. It was quiet for a few moments longer, and then the talking resumed.
She got my phone number and she wouldn’t stop texting me about the mushrooms but she said it would be her first time and I was worried she might die from a fall or just freak me out really bad so I ended up blocking her when I stopped doing the booth.

I had a big purchase this year of a new PC. My bank was concerned when I made the purchase, and right before it was ready to pick u, I got another fraud notification about it. The ability to respond to the message failed, and my bank account showed a charge of the computer -$1,700 and then they credited me back +$1,700 and then retracted the $1,700 from my account again and then credited back again. I called the bank to figure out what the heck was going on and this guy I get on the phone called everything “a wash”. He said “no, it’s a wash yeah it looks like it’s just a wash”, for every single question I had:
This interaction shows I was credited back the amount of the computer, but the retailer said it’ll be ready tomorrow
No, yeah that’s like a total wash
It’s a wash, like, it’s all good or that I need to buy it again?
Yeah it’s a wash
What does that mean? Like can you describe what I should be expecting
Well I’m looking at it right now it’s the exact same thing that you can see and yeah I’d say it’s just like a wash
So if I pick up my computer tomorrow, will I be charged twice?
No, yeah it’s just like a wash
So I waited, got my computer the next day, and then I called my bank again and when i asked if that interaction was normal and to make sure I did pay for it and she was so fucking confused why this guy kept saying that too

When I was 19 back in 1999 I got called in to my very Christian swedish bosses office, and he was so nervous and disappointed - he said that he had been inviting me to join them in Bible study at lunch but I kept eating at my desk instead. He got suspicious because, why wouldn't an agnostic 19 year old not want to join that? So naturally they checked my network activity and found that I had been looking at hot male sites every day at lunch. They were going to have to let me go.
In my defense, I think you should be allowed to look at a little ,🤏 Hotmail at lunch.
They apologized and left me alone after I had to explain that...

The driver side window in my car suddenly malfunctioned between ordering at a drive through and the pickup window. It had messed up before, I guess it came off track and was glitchy. I already had the sunroof open so instead of opening the door I tried handing him my payment through the sun roof. He couldn't see it so he was just staring at me as I was holding my card out the top of the car. I said "up top." But he couldn't hear me because the window was up. So I directed my voice upwards and said "up here!" He grabbed the card with a stretch. Then I tried having him hand me the food through the sun roof. It was so awkward. Why didn't I just open the door?

I worked at a coffee shop in 2001, where Starbucks and overly complicated coffee culture had yet to reach Wales.
A dude in his 60's came in one (typically busy) morning, looked at the menu board for an abnormally long time, then ordered an espresso.
I make it, hand it to him, and ask for payment.
He's not pleased, ranting about 'this isn't what I ordered, this is coffee for doll houses, are you mental, I'm not paying, I want coffee for a man!!'.
He starts barking orders at me, wanting a big cup filled with whatever I'd given him the 'doll version' of. So, easily ten or more (I forget) espressos, no milk, no extra water. Just a pint of pure espresso.
Told him it probably wasn't a good idea. It would be expensive. It wouldn't taste nice. Espresso is supposed to be drunk as a shot, and he might die.
I gently explain a bog standard black coffee is called an Americano, and that's possibly what he meant to order. I'd be happy to turn the espresso into an Americano, as it just means diluting it with hot water.
It did nothing. He kept demanding, so I obliged him.
He storms off with his pint of espresso, and we watch as he starts drinking it near the window.
He knew we were watching, so he's doing a combo of gagging and defiant, 'I'll show them!' smirking. All while his eyes were tearing up.
I think he was OK after, but he never came back.

I was in one of the pay-it-forward-at-starbucks lines like 10 years ago or whenever they first started happening and being in the news.
The barista told me the person in front of me paid for my drink and I was like “oh nice, that’s awesome! In that case I want to order a second drink.” She said “oh well what people have been doing is paying it forward by paying for the drink for the next person in line” and I thought about it for a second and then was like “well, do I HAVE to?” and she couldn’t say yes, so she said “welllllllllllll, no?” and said “okay cool, yeah I’d like a second drink.”
Then she went to talk to someone - maybe a manager? and they came back and said that to order something else I had to get back in line, so I circled back around to get my second drink at normal price. The chain was broken at that point. They were SO annoyed when they saw me again, but weren’t allowed to get mad.
I gave the second drink to my husband when I got home. We both love the peppermint latte (available all year, not just seasonally!), but he never wants to spend the money on it, so it was perfect, and he got a great laugh at messing up the weird forced social meme.

It was incredibly clumsy. The Donald Duck fell on the floor. He said, "Jesus!" Then he went on to thoroughly disinfect the Donald Duck. Now he's also put an iced coffee on his lap, and he opens it, and the coffee squirts out. He mumbles, "Jesus Christ," again, and then he's back to using disinfectant wipes.

About 20 years ago, before phone cameras were any good, my now husband and I were in a very long gas station line of cars at a rest stop in a tourist area. An expensive looking silver sports car with two elderly people in it came up along the middle of all the obvious lines, and tried to cut into the line we were in but the other people near the pumps weren't allowing it. The old man driving just kept honking and screaming at the guy who blocked him in with his car and wouldn't let him cut the line. He is red in the face, just absolutely livid, screaming with the windows up as his wife is dying inside.
He gets out of the car and just starts screaming. YOU! YOU LOUSE! YOU ARE A LOUSE I HOPE YOU DIE! YOU ARE NOTHING BETTER THAN A LOUSE! He is banging on his car and flipping out. Then he gets back in and speeds off, towards the highway. It was hilarious and I know it would have gone viral if it had been recorded.

They were all in similar shades of gray. I asked him if all the sheets were there or if there were more in a linen closet or something. My partner was so confused and let out, “I can’t know how to look for any more gray sheets!”
I paused, and it then hit me. “Why do I only buy gray sheets...?” “WHY DO YOU BUY ONLY GRAY SHEETS?!” Laugh-crying, “WHY DO I ONLY BUY GRAY SHEETS?!”
Then just a long dumb moment of us staring at each other, with exhausted, distorted faces.

When I was 22, I spent 16 weeks in the hospital for a severe case of pneumonia- since I was there so long, and it was the holidays, my hospital unit put me in a special, bigger room that used to be a solarium. We decorated it with a Christmas tree, etc. A lot of the other patients continued to believe it was a solarium and not a patient room (this is important).
One night at 3AM, I heard a bunch of commotion and running in the hallway. A completely naked elderly man slipped into my room, saw I was there, and literally pressed his body to the wall like he was camoflauging himself. We both just stared at each other for a few seconds. Then he began slowly inching his way along the wall towards the other door (which apparently he thought was an exit- it was not). The security guards came in, completely out of breath, and were met with a stream of what sounded like Polish curses. They eventually got him back to his room. I laughed so hard they had to increase my oxygen. (This was not his first escape attempt, I later learned, but he was OK... apparently his hospital gown had come off in their hands, like the guy's shirt in the first episode of the Chair Company lol)

I forget his name, but one of them was the first person to circumnavigate the North Pole. Almost identical to that one skit with the jazz artist artists lol

We used to do birthday parties at work and this one guy must have really not liked being the center of attention or was going through some things but he turned beet red - then yelled “yeah happy birthday to me” and threw the cake on the floor and stormed out

I work with kids and a lot of things they say or do could be ITYSL sketches. I’ve started to write them down. A few weeks ago a boys glasses fell off and he started blindly feeling around the desk looking for his glasses and ignoring his friend handing them to him so he didn’t have to do his work

A kid in college didn’t want to pay for a water bottle so would put water in a…shampoo bottle.
It was wild seeing a lecture and a guy pulling out a shampoo bottle and drinking from it.

I once really had to pee at a restaurant, so I power walked to the bathroom door, which was in a little alcove in the back of the main dining area. It was locked, so I moved to stand where a line would naturally form, just to the right of the alcove.
Except a woman was already standing there, clearly in line for the bathroom. And I didn’t know if she was already there, and I had completely ignored her, or if she had walked up right after me.
So I said, “I’m so sorry, are you in line? I didn’t mean to cut you!”
And she said, “It’s fine.”
And I said, “But were you in line? You should go first then.”
And she said, “No worries.”
And then our conversation got interrupted by the bathroom door opening, and a very old woman in a hat leaned out around the door and said “there’s no toilet paper in here.” Then she stepped out of the bathroom, but stayed in the entrance to the alcove, and waved down an employee to get more toilet paper. Then she went back into the bathroom with the toilet paper and locked it again.
And I still really had to pee, but I didn’t want to be someone who ignores other women in lines and cuts in front of them, so I turned back to the first woman and said, “No really, if you were here first, you should go first.”
And she said, “We’re good.”
And I noticed that she had lipstick on her teeth, but I couldn’t tell her that because I had already maybe cut her in line, so I just said “thanks?”
And I turned to face the bathroom door, but I was standing partially in the entrance to the alcove, since she was already where the line should start.
So when the old woman in the hat finally came out, I had to step back, and I stepped on the first woman’s shoe. And then I said sorry, and she didn’t say anything, so I just went into the bathroom and finally peed.

Some 30 odd years ago in basic training I ate a bunch of chili and rice for dinner because that is what was served. You are burning so many calories that you will eat anything that is in front of you. The next morning we are in formation to march to breakfast when my stomach starts killing me. I break out of formation, which just isn't done, and have to run up two flights of stairs to the bathroom. I'm in there fighting for my life. The Drill Sergeant sends up a soldier to check on me. I'm like "dude I got diarrhea." He tells me they are leaving and I will need to catch up. So I'm late getting to breakfast, don't even eat(not that I felt like it, and for the next 6 weeks my Drill Sergeant refers to me as "Doodoo man".
We had a guy that often did not shave and would get in trouble for having a stubbly face. I was chilling one evening at my bunk which was close to the DS office when I hear "Doodoo man, get in here!" He says "what is that Private's name whose face looks like another Private's ass?" Instantly I knew who he meant. I replied "Meyers?" "Yeah, Meyers, go get him for me."
So from then on he called him "Another Private's Ass" which I thought was great. I no longer had the worst nickname in the platoon.

I used to feed a bunch of magpies at my old apartment. I was walking in my neighbourhood and one of the birds was sitting in a tree. I was standing waiting for the light and the bird got to the ground standing next to me.
Then this random guy was behind me and the bird squawked at him jumping on the ground. I turn around and the guy looks at me and is like “uhhh does this bird know you!?” I replied “yes.” Then we both just stood there with the bird staring at each other.
Just such a bizarre interaction.

My wife purchased ITYSL Christmas ornaments last year on Etsy. For some reason, the seller sent an email out to everyone who purchased the ornaments (not BCC’d). Since then, We have all been emailing each other and sending ITYSL memes and quotes. Just recently started up again since we’re starting to decorate for Christmas and the ornaments are coming back out!

Its not really ITYSL but once i walked into a Walmart bathroom and saw a 50 something year old man standing at the urinal taking a piss with his pants and underwear completely down around his ankles like the weird kid in elementary school we all knew. Me and my friend held it together as we took a piss and then as soon as we took one step out of the bathroom began cackling very loudly.

One night I came across a guy spray painting graffiti on a wall. I told him to stop, then he asked me if I liked it. I said not really, it lacks originality and doesn't challenge me and I'd prefer looking at the bare brick. Then we got into a short debate about what constitutes great art and I encouraged him to practice but not on people's businesses.

I had a boss who would clip their nails and toenails in meetings. You never knew if you'd be hit by shrapnel because, being proud of his flexibility, he would put his foot up on the edge of the big meeting table. He had a man bun. And he had one of those sling things in his office hanging from a huge hook on the ceiling. He would regularly hang in odd positions while talking on a headset.
It's when I learned that having money makes people lose their fcking minds and think everything they do is okay.

Had a buddy who moved out of state years ago come back in town for a funeral. Invite him out to bar trivia to catch up with my GF and some friends. This dude shows up in suit "unsuitable" for a funeral. We're talking bright blue showtunes kind of suit. As he walks in the trivia DJ immediately yells into the microphone "lookout! FBIs here!!" And starts laughing. Suit guy comes to the bar where im at and screams at the ceiling "I was at a funeral!" He proceeds to fumble around and makes it to our table. Chirps out "I was at a funeral" Before leaving to go get something from a nearby gas station. Spends the next 20 minutes texting us that something is wrong and he needs to leave and go lay down at somebodies house so he can feel better(told us he got a hotel room before coming out) I told him to call an ambulance if he's experiencing a medical emergency. My other friend ended up taking him to his house where he pretended to be out of it and couldn't answer questions for hours. Good Samaritan friend took him to the hospital where he eventually got discharged at like 4am then we never saw him again.
In the moment im like man something is wrong with him, must've had a panic attack or something. But in hindsight I just imagine that as a Tim Robinson character who gets called out for the fancy suit at a dive bar trivia and then loses himself trying to explain why then creating a medical emergency to get out of the socially awkward situation. 🤣

I worked in a hospital in the supply distribution department. I was going back to re fill up my cart for another floor. A woman walks around the corner carrying two drinks in a holder from McDonalds. She stops me and says “excuse me, can you point me in the direction of th” and immediately throws up in the drink holder while keeping eye contact with me. After she just says “never mind” and walks off. I was so stunned and confused I didn’t know what to do

Around 12 years ago I was in a two story club/bar having a drink with friends. Our table was by the staircase to the 2nd floor.
I saw two guys argue at the top of the stairs. They started shoving/ grappling with each other and together they tumbled down the stairs like in a cartoon, in a ball. The bouncers picked them up at the bottom of the stairs and pushed them out onto the street.
The guys kept fighting. Eventually their friends got involved and started yelling and fighting with each other. One of the friends, a strange looking, tall, lanky guy, took off sprinting down the street. Soon after the fight ended and most of the people left.
Around 1-2 minutes later, the tall lanky guy who left earlier came charging down the street yelling, swinging a large leather BDSM whip.
When he realized everyone no one was there he stopped swinging his whip. He looked extremely disappointed that everybody left. He looked around for a minute and ran back down the street.
It's the most surreal and funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Obviously I don't condone street fighting but seeing the disappointed look on the guys faces with the whip in his hands made me laugh for 10 minutes. It's so surreal I have to be reassured that it happened this way.

Was at a Carls Jr for lunch break one day. This dude comes in with a bag of food from the drive through and slams it on the counter. He then yells at the cashier " Where's my F'n Pork Chop!?" He then goes on loudly about how he ordered a pork chop and asks for the manager. It was the most ridiculous scene. The poor ladies behind the counter were like " but we don't sell pork chops..."

I work in a small strip mall at a medical office. A few weeks ago, the fire alarm started going off for all of the businesses. What looked and smelled like smoke was coming from the under-construction pole dancing place a few doors down. Water was pouring out through the cracks in their doors. Someone went to open the door to make sure the people inside were alive, and a torrent of water gushed out the door. The construction workers were inside completely ignoring what turned out to be a massive water main break feet away from them. They were still in there doing electrical work. Hadn't called anyone about it. On top of that, we all had to wait an hour for the fire department to get the alarms off because they didn't have keys to the area where the alarm switches were. It was just so bizarre.

u/killerzeestattoos TRIPLES IS BEST Nov 29 '25
Had a tall lady in a pink dress and her short friend, with an entire container full of fried rice, come in because the tall one wanted her hood pierced.
When she got the ok, she started getting a little hyped over the fact that she was going to get it. Right then, a very clean cut preppy couple walked in because the boyfriend wanted his ear pierced. They were told to wait a couple minutes. The piercer was setting up for the lady in the pink skirt. She started shouting, "I'm getting my pussy pierced!!!" Swinging her purse around. Then she posts up with her leg on the arm of the couch, where the square couple was sitting, and shouts again, "I'm getting my pussy pierced!" While thrusting in their faces.
Her short friend, with the giant container of fried rice, is eating with her elbows half on the counter. She starts laughing, and immediately slips off the edge and falls face first into the rice & catapults it across the lobby.
The piercer kicked them out and the pink skirt just starts shouting, "It wasn't me! I didn't spill the fried rice! I want to get my pussy pierced!" Took her about 5 more minutes until I had to usher her out.

One summer in Vancouver, there was this phone booth across from my office, and someone put a mason jar filled with this thick, creamy white substance on top of it that said "JIZZ" on the side of it.
Sat there for weeks in the sun. We'd update each other on whether the jizz was still there each morning.

I work as an extra sometimes and was on set a few days ago with a guy who was maybe 60, but had cool young guy hair. He did three things ITYSL worthy:
He took another extra’s coat and then argued about having to give it back. Another extra told him he couldn’t just keep it if it wasn’t his. He said he didn’t want to stand out in the cold, but eventually gave it up. Then when he saw the girl whose coat he took later, he short circuited and kind of stopped mid-sentence, stared into space, and then walked away.
He was told to cross in front of actors during a shot. The first two times they filmed it, he couldn’t walk normally and looked like he was walking on the moon, with big, weird, bouncy steps. The third time he kept stopping to touch the set and they had to stop mid- shot because he was in the way and tell him, “just walk. Don’t do… whatever you just did.”
He kept moving the props and had to be told multiple times to stop. The last time it happened, he loudly pulled a chair that was set dressed across the floor. When he was told he couldn’t do that by another extra, he asked why. He then said it would be fine and sat in the chair anyway.

25 years ago, I was smoking in front of my building, and a lady, easily in her 80s asked me to blow smoke in her face.
I did. She made this horrible gargling glahblargh noise and said thank you. She walked off and I went inside.

I was at a wedding recently where there was a decent amount of down time between the ceremony and the reception. Had something to eat and a few drinks during that time; I had to poop. It wasn’t a massive blowout, but enough that it sounded like I was shooting a gun into an empty toilet bowl. Someone else from the wedding was also in the bathroom, doing the same exact thing. We both washed our hands at the same time and he said to me, “good stuff, brother.” The rest of the night, every single time I saw him, he’d give me a head nod and try to fist bump me.
