Posts From the Nextdoor App That Will Make You Roll Your Eyes

We’re all so connected these days that it can seem a little overwhelming from time to time.

And it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of privacy anywhere these days, does there?

Well, you can add Nextdoor to the long list of apps that make you feel like a Peeping Tom, constantly getting a peek into other peoples’ business. And this time it’s all about your crazy neighbors!

And, as you can probably imagine, people use Nextdoor to air all kinds of grievances and make weird observations, etc. It’s great fun!

Let’s take a look.

1. You can get it done right there!

You don’t even have to leave your car!

2. I think that might be a misspelling.

Can we double-check on that one?

3. I don’t think this is gonna happen.

Nice try, though.

4. What an adorable pet you have!

And he seems harmless.

5. This is the weirdest post of all time.

A lot going on in this one…

6. Take it easy, comrade.

I was actually thinking it was North Korea.

7. There it goes!

Wait, what? Let me read that again…

8. Oh, that’s what happened?

I thought something else was going on…

9. Being harrassed by a cat.

It happens to the best of us.

10. I need to talk to Dr. Phil.

I’m sure he’ll get right back to you.

11. Can we please think of the cats?

They need more sleep!

12. I’m glad this news is out there.

I was worried this was gonna happen…

Some people, I’ll tell ya…

Now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, tell us about some wild, wacky, and funny experiences you’ve had with your neighbors.

Thanks in advance!

This Minnesota Man Has the World’s Tallest Mohawk

There’s a Guinness World Record for pretty much anything you can think of; if you have a thing and are committed enough to do it bigger and better than anyone else in the world (because there are always a few weirdos just like you), you could find yourself as an entry.

Some things, like the world’s longest tongue, are just strokes of genetic luck (?), while others like being able to crush the most apples with your biceps, and lifting the most weight with your beard, are things you could definitely work toward, if you had a hankering.

The latter category is where Joseph Grisamore of Park Rapids, Minnesota, who is now the world record holder for the tallest mohawk in the world, settled in.

His hair stands at 108.2 centimeters (42.5 inches, or 3.6 feet) tall, according to the official Guinness entry – and this wasn’t his first attempt to make it all the way.

Back in 2006, Grisamore attempted the record but fell short. Time time, with the help of his wife and his mother/hairstylist at Family Hair Affair, he made it all the way.

He had to start from scratch, which means he grew all nearly four feet of that hair in just seven years.

Well I'll be GREASED and FRIED! It finally happened! After holding the Guinness World Record for Tallest full…

Posted by Eric Hahn on Tuesday, March 24, 2020

He takes the record from Eric Hahn of Omaha, Nebraska, who was very gracious in being usurped.

Who knows; maybe he has plans to try again!

If you were going to go for a world record, what would it be?

This is Why Only the U.S. Feels the Need to Refrigerate Their Eggs

I’ll never forget walking through a store in rural Mexico, rounding the end of the aisle, and stopping in my tracks at the sight of cartons of eggs just sitting out in the open. They were room temperature, and no one was freaking out!

I pointed them out to my American friend but we both kind of shrugged, chalking it up to our lack of experience with international travel. It wasn’t until later that I thought to wonder why their eggs didn’t need to be cold, and whoo boy, when I found out the States are one of the only places in the world who thinks they do?

Mind. Blown.

If you scroll through social media and search the topic, you’ll find people here and there having their own aha! moments, when they, too, realized that maybe Americans are the weird ones.

To be fair, that realization can come from lots of things and practices, not just eggs, but let’s stick with that for right now, eh?

Image Credit: TikTok

TikTok user @maureensparrow realized that this was a thing not everyone knew about or understood and made a video that breaks down the reasons behind the egg-storing differences between America and the rest of the world.

Basically, it’s because of salmonella.

Image Credit: TikTok

The Department of Agriculture in the U.S. says that, in order to stop possible spread of salmonella from infected eggs, those eggs have to be sanitized before being passed on to consumers.

The sanitizing process in the U.S. strips the natural protective coating on the eggs, which is why they then need to be stored in the fridge to prevent bacteria from growing in the warmer temperatures.

Image Credit: TikTok

Other countries go about preventing salmonella in other ways, like vaccinating chickens, that don’t affect the egg itself.

Since those eggs have never been washed or chilled or otherwise stripped of their protective coating, they don’t have to be refrigerated in order to stay safe.

So, there you have it! Such a simple answer to a question that stops so many of us in our tracks.

I guess that’s usually how it is, huh?

Who needs a guided meditation video when you have the Ted Bundy court tapes?

Bad Boss Tells Great Employee to Quit. Immediately Regrets It.

I’m sure you’ve found yourself at jobs where management just didn’t appreciate you or give you the proper respect you deserved.

Hey, we’ve all been there at one point or another!

And it’s always so darn satisfying to hear a story about someone who quits a job and the boss knows almost immediately that they made a mistake.

A person took to Reddit to share their own story.

Here’s how it started.

Photo Credit: Reddit

He started out slowly at the job but started taking on more responsibility quickly when management knew they could count on him…and when they didn’t want to do certain things themselves…

And so he started doing just about everything about the joint.

Photo Credit: Reddit

He was working his tail off and the owners would sometimes tell him they wanted to make him a manager…

Photo Credit: Reddit

But after they kept bringing up the management position and not delivering, the person decided to have a sit-down with one of the bosses and bring it up.

That’s called being a go-getter!

But the boss didn’t see it that way.

Photo Credit: Reddit

So this employee decided to only do what they were originally hired to do.

Hey, if the bosses want to play that game, then that’s how it will be.

But the boss clearly didn’t catch on after that first conversation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Wow! That’s totally ridiculous!

The conversation continued…and the boss laid down a challenge that he probably didn’t expect this person to take.

Photo Credit: Reddit

But they did!

See ya later…but the bosses still didn’t catch on…they don’t seem too bright.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And things went downhill very fast after this employee left.

Here’s how the story ended.

Photo Credit: Reddit

What do you think about this?

Have you had jobs where you wanted to just walk out sometimes?

Or maybe where you DID walk out?

Share your stories with us in the comments. Thanks!
