These Big Math Fails Will Make You Shake Your Head

One of my mottos has always been, “if you don’t know what you’re talking about, just keep your mouth shut…or you’ll end up looking like an idiot.”

Words to live by, right?

Feel free to use that in your own life, just remember to credit me and send me royalty checks when appropriate…

ANYWAY, I brought that up because these people all clearly don’t understand how math works, yet they acted like they did and now the whole is laughing at them.

Let’s take a look…

1. That doesn’t add up…

Let’s go back to the drawing board.

Yep from theydidntdothemath

2. Okay, everybody take a deep breath.

Let’s start from the beginning…again…

Seems about right from theydidntdothemath

3. Yeah, that will be crazy.

Wait, what did you say?

6. Wow…this is pretty incredible.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

How many trips back to the store? from theydidntdothemath

7. Do the math again, people!

That sure doesn’t look right…

Ah yes, the 500 people population of the U. S. from theydidntdothemath

8. Yes, that what that means.

Also, I don’t think you’re gonna get hired. Just a hunch.

9. Are you sure that’s 50% off?

Time to bust out the calculator.

Hmm… from theydidntdothemath

10. What am I supposed to do?!?!

I’m confused and I don’t know what to do!

How do I take advantage of this special? from theydidntdothemath

11. Can someone explain this to me?

When you see CNN playing in airport…

When you see CNN playing in airport terminals you’re actually watching a special version of the channel CNN produces just for airports. Is it just regular CNN with no mention at all of missing flights and aviation disasters when they occur. The network’s digital on-screen graphics are designed larger than industry standards, to allow readability […]

A Mom Turned Her Daughter’s Dirty, Abandoned Sock Into a Museum Exhibit

Parents everywhere know that it’s important to teach our children to be respectful, and that part of that is picking up after yourself. Trash, laundry, toys…picking them up can be harder than it seems (apparently), but we’ve all got to do it.

Parents also know – or at least, they should – that humor is the key to every good, communicative relationship.

Mom Xep Campbell and her daughter Kestrel illustrate this fact super well with this post about a forgotten sock on the bathroom floor.

On the evening of Thanksgiving when I went to bed I noticed one of Kestrel's socks on the bathroom floor. I decided not…

Posted by Xep Campbell on Wednesday, December 2, 2020

I can only imagine that, before Mom decided to cheekily enter it as a museum exhibit, Kestrel was asked to collect said sock more than once.

Instead of taking the hint about the dirty laundry having been in one place for too long, Kestrel added a pedestal.

Art deserves an appropriate display, right?

Image Credit: Facebook

It also deserves an audience, Mom thought.

A riveted audience.

Image Credit: Facebook

Their game continued. No word on if or when the sock has been deposited in the appropriate receptacle, but in the meantime, at least the farm animals have something interesting to look at.

Image Credit: Facebook

If only farm animals in real life were treated as well.

Consider this your reminder to yes, parent your children and do your best to raise them right.

But also, don’t forget to have fun with them now and then – before you know it both they and their dirty socks will be but a memory in your home.

And sure, it will be picked up all the time.

But it will be awfully quiet, too.

A Concerned Parent Wants to Know if He’s Wrong for Refusing to Help His Daughter With Her Family Tree Assignment

Almost every kid who attends public school will, at some point, come home with a family tree assignment. You fill in the blanks, you ask your relatives some questions about where they grew up and what their parents did and maybe for an anecdote or two, and voila!

At least, that’s what I remember.

According to this man, though, his daughter’s assignment turned out to be nothing like he expected.

Image Credit: Reddit

There were questions about taxes and other personal financial information.

Image Credit: Reddit

It asked for replies about medical histories and potential criminal backgrounds.

Image Credit: Reddit

He tried reaching out to the teacher but got no response, and other parents were also concerned.

Image Credit: Reddit

One of them finally got hold of the teacher, who explained the assignment was meant to make students more aware of the diversity in their school.

Image Credit: Reddit

The intention was fine, he thought, but he still felt odd about sharing such personal information – some of it about extended family members – with the community at large.

Image Credit: Reddit

He and about 2/3 of the other parents agreed their kids wouldn’t be taking part, but some committee called them “Karens,” and accused them of sabotaging efforts to be more diverse and inclusive.

Image Credit: Reddit

He wants to know if this is a normal thing, and if he was maybe overreacting.

Image Credit: Reddit

Short answer? No, people don’t think that at all.

Image Credit: Reddit

Some pointed out the nature of kids and the potential for the information to be used to bully and tease.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others thought the content was inappropriate for young students, and should be reported to the superintendent, besides.

Image Credit: Reddit

There is always a fine line – and this seems to have crossed.

Image Credit: Reddit

You know you can’t trust anyone these days.

Image Credit: Reddit

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m definitely on the side of OP – some things are just not the school’s business.

Tell me in the comments where you come down on this, and why!

Ignore Your Kids For a Couple Minutes – These 11 Posts Are Worth The Mess!

Parents are always weighing what we want/need to do with how much destruction our kids can wreak on the house in the same amount of time.

Sometimes it’s worth it, sometimes it’s not, but from one parent to another, I think you won’t regret scrolling through these 11 tweets!

11. I know they say not to meet your heroes…

But what if you made them?

10. It’s not forever.

Someday you’ll have to buy an extra large turkey and three bags of rolls.

9. Yeah, might want to correct that one.

Just because you definitely don’t want to eat that.

8. A girl after my own heart.

Sprinkles go with everything.

7. Never since batteries were invented.

They are incapable of thinking ahead.

6. What a fun game!

Not for Santa, I suppose.

5. He tried to play it really cool.

10 points o Gryffindor.

4. They will learn.

There will come a day when they, too, realize they are too lazy to use a microwave.

3. You’d better not be the one who pushed it.

You will be deafened by the screaming.

2. Heaven help you.

There is no escape.

1. It’s best to just say nothing.

They will learn soon enough.

See what I mean? Good, am I right?

No… they’re genius, I tell you!

Now, go check on those kids – fingers crossed nothing is ruined!

Also, tell us which of these really made you laugh out loud. Do that in the comments.

Thanks, fam!

Was This Retail Employee Wrong to Refuse to Hold A Customer’s Baby?

In the best of times, people have varying degrees of comfort with children that don’t belong to them.

Some people adore kids, and want to hold every single one who will let them, and others want nothing to do with kids or babies, no matter how cute, for valid reasons of their own.

This OP on Reddit’s Am I The A$shole works in retail, and with the current health crisis, is required to follow customers around and disinfect any surfaces they touch.

Image Credit: Reddit

A single mother with two young children came in looking for a dryer, and wanted to check out the floor models before making any decisions.

Fine.

Image Credit: Reddit

What wasn’t fine was that she kept trying to hand her baby off to the employee while she looked, but the person really didn’t want to hold the kid.

Image Credit: Reddit

She demanded to speak with the manager, who agreed with her.

Image Credit: Reddit

Both the manager and their co-workers agreed the employee should have just held the baby and been more sympathetic to the woman’s plight.

Image Credit: Reddit

The people on Reddit were much more inclined to take the side of the poster, for some very valid reasons.

Image Credit: Reddit

Also, there are liability concerns!

Image Credit: Reddit

This person suggested that maybe the manager could hold the baby, since he or she was so into it.

Image Credit: Reddit

And this mom pointed out that woman had plenty of options that would have been safer and more considerate.

Image Credit: Reddit

Bottom line: people’s preferences should be respected.

Image Credit: Reddit

I agree with the commenters, and if the salesperson was polite, don’t see the issue.

What about you? Sound off down in the comments!

This is Why You Should Never Argue With an Amusement Park Employee Over a Loss

Most of the people who run those game booths at amusement parks are bored teenagers who definitely don’t get paid enough to deal with your crap.

Also, hint about life in general? If you want something from someone, berating them is generally not the way to go about it.

This kid worked at a booth where the objective was to make 4 hockey goals as quickly as possible. You have 1 minute to hit them all, but you get a better prize if you do it fast.

Image Credit: Reddit

This dad was feeling cocky, and promised his kid he would win a prize that required him to hit all 4 goals in less than 20 seconds. The employee explained this, then let the dad have a go.

He made it in 25 seconds, and the family started screaming that he deserved (?) a redo.

Image Credit: Reddit

He agreed to the redo after taking their crap for a few minutes, but of course, had his own plan in mind.

Image Credit: Reddit

Instead of staying silent, he heckled the guy, who took almost the entire 60 seconds to hit the 4 goals the second time around.

Image Credit: Reddit

The family wanted the first prize instead of the one he won with his crappy time, but the employee, who was finished with their bs, shrugged and said no.

Not even a kid crying about it would change his mind.

Image Credit: Reddit

On the one hand, I’m not all about making kids cry.

On the other hand, maybe it’s better he or she learns now that his parents kind of suck.

What do you think? Weigh in below!

These Dads Are Definitely Not Afraid to Troll Their Own Families

If you know and love a troll, then you know one thing is always true – they are up for trolling no matter the situation, people involved, or any consequences that may come.

These 9 dads prove that’s true, because they are pulling some seriously shady stunts on their own dear families – and I’ve got to be honest, it’s pretty funny.

9. His daughter looks sooooo amused.

Except the opposite.

Dad being dad. from funny

8. I would have been suspicious had he passed this up.

He might have been ill.

7. Don’t spend it all in one place.

And make sure to thank him for all of the electricity and stuff.

6. This is so not right.

I am also so here for it.

Girl got her phone taken away by her parents and later her dad slid this under her door from pics

5. Did this work?

If so, he may have started a trend.

Thanks Dad from funny

4. She should have seen this coming.

There was no way to stop it.

3. Trolling is the only way to respond to a group chat.

If only it made them stop.

2. I actually think this is an argument for leaving dads in charge.

How can you argue differently?

Reason #82 why dad’s shouldn’t be left alone with their kids. from funny

1. He calls ’em like he sees ’em.

And I mean. He’s probably not wrong.

No one is safe from the trolls, y’all! Especially when the trolls are actually related to you! Ack!

Who is the biggest troll in your life and why do you love them? No, not because you’re obligated to. Give us a better answer than that.

Tell us about it in the comments!
