Every Hotel and Airbnb is Not Created Equal. Here’s the Proof.

You can look at as many pictures as you want on different websites, but the fact is that you never really know what kind of hotel or Airbnb you’re booking until you step foot into the place.

And, as you already know, sometimes the photos just don’t tell the whole story…or maybe they’re not even from the same place that you just booked!

You’re always rolling the dice when you reserve a place to stay, it’s just a fact…and here are some photos from people who ended up in some strange places.

1. Something terrible happened here.

I can just feel it…

It looks like the hotel cart ran someone over and is tracking their blood through the halls. from CrappyDesign

2. Is there a body under the bed?

I’d be afraid to look underneath there…

3. Well, technically, they weren’t lying…

But still…not cool…

4. How many times did you stub your toe on that thing?

That thing looks dangerous.

6. Was this the romantic getaway that you dreamed of?

The spark is still there after all these years…

7. That doesn’t look safe.

9. Did you ever actually find your room?

I have a feeling that you didn’t…

10. I think this might be false advertising.

I’m gonna need to speak to the manager.

11. The view is absolutely stunning.

You’ll see once you get up into the room…

12. A lot of room to stretch out.

Time to work up a sweat!

And share some photos with us too, if you have them.

Let’s get weird!

People Showed Off Their Very Unique Collections

I wish I had the space to collect all things I want to, but that’s just not realistic…if I did acquire all the stuff I wanted, I’d need an enormous house…and probably about three or four storage spaces.

But it’s something to shoot for, I guess!

In the meantime, I’ll keep collecting just a little bit here and there…books, records, movie posters, etc.

Hey, it’s fun to collect things that are important to us. And we’re pretty impressed with these unique collections that people were nice enough to share.

Let’s take a look!

1. No games were harmed.

This is totally awesome!

This is my Gameboy mosaic made out of Gameboy games! Note: No games were harmed and all are removable and playable! from gaming

These Cats Are All Confused About How to Be… Cats

You would think that they’d have the hang of this thing by now, wouldn’t you?

I’m talking about our cats and how they sometimes forget how to…well…be cats.

We can try to figure out what’s going on inside their heads, but you know that’s pretty much an impossible task.

They’re weird and they’re gonna do their own thing, no matter what us lowly humans try to say to them.

Here are some cats that are clearly having a few struggles…

1. You need to learn how to loaf properly!

You’re still not getting it!

I think she might be a little OBSESSED.

My sisters cat is obsessed with whatever she’s doing, ALL the time! from WhatsWrongWithYourCat

10. You touched his back…

And he immediately turned to Jello.

11. Whatever makes you comfortable.

Be careful that you don’t fall off.

Or maybe you were smoking the Devil’s Lettuce?

These Cats Are Total Weirdos…There’s No Doubt About It

If you’ve spent any time around cats, you know a couple of things for sure: no two kitties are the same, and they’re all TOTAL WEIRDOS.

I don’t think they do it on purpose, but all cats seem to have one mission on this planet: to make their human “owners” question their actions and to completely confuse them.

Hey, it is what it is, right?

Let’s take a look at some pics of cats being WEIRD.

1. He’ll only drink it one way.

People Show off Their Very Unique Collections

I’ve gotten away from collecting a whole bunch of stuff, but I do still like to acquire a few things here and there: mostly records and old movie posters.

But I used to collect TONS OF STUFF when I was a young lad: baseball cards, hockey cards, matchbooks, and a plethora of other cool things.

I guess when you get older and move around, you start to lose stuff along the way. But I think these photos might have renewed my spark in collecting things, because they are pretty awesome.

Let’s take a look!

1. Pieces of history.

Wow! Those are really cool.

Before and After Adoption Animal Pics to Make You Smile in a Big Way

I don’t have a dog right now, but (pre-pandemic), I would go down to Baton Rouge to watch my sister’s two dogs, Bea and Lily, whenever she went out of town for a while.

And let me tell you, these two rescue pups are two of my favorite pooches on the entire planet! I don’t know too much about their circumstances before my sister took them in, but I know that they’re now happy, well-fed, and absolute professionals at relaxing and snoozing on the couch.

People Share Really Embarrassing Childhood Moments They Laugh at Now

We’ve all been embarrassed before, and these folks can’t help but share the times that they got red in the face.

Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. We’ve ALL been there.

Here are 10 people’s stories that we can all relate to in some way, shape or form.

Let’s take a look!

1. Happens to the best of us.

I was about 3, in a Bloomingdales with my mom, who was looking at purses. I had to go pee. She couldn’t hear me. So I just pulled down my pants and went.

Another time, I was in Mexico City with my family and my sister was running towards the glass sliding doors but missed, instead hitting a window. Her nose mark was there the whole day.

And finally, I peed my pants in the middle of science during 4th grade.

2. This is like, a rite of passage.

When I was about 6, my mom and I were putting ornaments on our Christmas tree. She showed me an ornament, and told me that she’s had it since she was my age.

I said “Wow, it must be really old!” without malicious intent, but oops.

3. Won’t be the last time.

So this happened when I was in kindergarten.

I had just walked into the bathroom, and I went to look for a stall that wasn’t being used. I started checking for ones that had unlocked doors, and I found one.

I pushed it open, and there was another little girl sitting on the toilet.

I was flustered, and apologized quickly.

4. Why are boys?!

So when I was around 12 or 13 it was that time of that month. And I didn’t know that cuz it started and i didn’t know. So me and my crush were partners on a school project. (And just to mention i was wearing white jeans) So he dropped his pencil and he looked up and said trinity you have a red stain on your hoo haw.

And i turned so red in my face. But the loud mouth kid heard and screamed ” TRINITY’S ON HER PERIOD!”

We did just learn about periods and puberty in health the day before and i didn’t want to return and now my crush at that time is now my bf of 5 years and reminds me of that day every couple months.

5. The poo-fect experiment!

My parents are both scientists, so naturally I was and am a very nerdy person. One time, when it was lightly snowing during recess, I saw that a dog had pooped near the playground.

I grabbed a bundle of twigs and leaves, knelt down next to the poop, and began to ‘dissect’ it. The teachers were very made when they saw me with my very clean hands and snowsuit, with a group of children huddled around watching me, and they nearly dragged me inside.

Somewhat embarrassing, but my parents told me that it was good that I was interested in the world around me when I got home.

6. Ah, young love.

I was in 5th grade and we were coding. Everyone has a little childhood crush, and so the “genius” that I was, I sat down next to him in my computer science class. That day we were coding, and there was a really cute code thingy that you could make your choose an animal and you make it dance with music that you pick.

At the time, I loved loved LOVED 80s music, and some 90s and when I saw the song that I was currently obsessed with, “Take on Me” I choose it. Once I finished the code, I got some headphones and turned up the music super high. A bit into the music I started to hum the song and watch the little animal dance his butt off.

When it finished, I looked up and saw everyone staring at me. I said “Uhh? Is there something on my head?” and a girl replied back to me by saying: “Well, you were singing a song, I thought you were talking to me, so I responded and you never said anything back besides the lyrics of the song…” I could literally feel my checks burning up.

To make matters worse, everyone started to laugh at me; including my crush. Even the teacher was laughing at me. I still get a little flustered reciting it smh.

7. I love that dad took a picture.

One time, a few months ago, my cousin and I were playing hide and seek at my house, and I found the PERFECT spot. So my little brother has a bunk bed and a trundle bed and the trundle bed doesn’t have a mattress in it yet. So of course I crawled in there because if I could get in, I could get out right? Wrong. So I called for my cousin and we spent like, 20 minutes just trying to get me out and then he left and got my dad (the whole time I thought he abandoned me) and my dad took a picture of me and took his sweet time getting me out. I obviously eventually got out, but yeah.

Okay so the other one was in second grade, there was a boy that I liked and I used to chase him around the playground during recess. So one day I got super close to catching him and he tripped and fell down like a tree. So naturally I tripped as well, resulting in chipping my tooth on his butt. (It wasn’t a bad chip)

8. Way to go, dad.

I was about 6 and we (my close family) were going to have a dinner party that night so my dad was taking me on errands. we were in this small, local market, and right next to the cashier where my dad was, there was a giant jar of taffy. i was really craving candy, so i took one out and asked my dad if i could have one.

he was talking to the cashier and just told me to wait a second. I put the candy in my pocket and just looked around some more. then he got me and we rushed out. we had to go in a hurry, so we were going pretty fast. we were about half way down the street when i reached into my pocket and felt the candy. i had totally forgotten about it, but was terrified because i thought i would go to jail, so i told my dad.

he flipped out because he thought i meant to steal it. that wasn’t even the worst part. as we were walking back to the shop, my best friends mom came around the corner and asked what we were doing. my dad told her that i stole something. i was mortified

9. Puberty is the worst.

OK so when i was around 11.

I was on my period and i didn’t realize it and my crush and i were partners on a school project and he dropped his pencil and was like “hey, you have a red stain on pants near you hoo haw” and the kid who cant keep their mouth shut seriously yelled “She’s got blood on her pants!”

It was right after health class and we just learned about periods and puberty.

So yeah that was embarrassing.

10. That’s just funny.

So, I was in Sweden at an amusement park, and it had a big wooden hamster wheel, and I was walking on it, and my pants, because they were big, got caught between two boards.

I fell down and went all the way up, then dropped down. worst part is, my pants fell down when it happened because…

It was still stuck.

Of all the things that happened to me as a kid, being embarrassed is among the things I miss the absolute least. Ugh!

Did you find any of these situations relatable? Have a story of your own you’d like to share?

These Photos of Animals Before and After Adoption Will Warm Your Heart

Nothing gets me choked up quite like seeing those commercials about neglected and abused animals that are suffering through the long, cold winter.

AND, nothing makes me happier than seeing the kinds of photos that you’re about to lay your eyes on in just a second!

I’m talking about before and after adoption pictures of animals that obviously used to be in bad situations and are now in warm, safe, loving homes for the rest of their lives.

It’s enough to make a grown man cry! Let’s take a look at these very happy animals.

1. That’s a HUGE glow up.

You look wonderful!

My foster dog’s 2 month glow up from BeforeNAfterAdoption

2. He’s doing great now!

What a huge difference!

This is River. At the shelter, he was shaved as his fur was extremely matted and riddled with flees. He had coccidia and conjunctivitis. After some medicine and tlc, he’s doing amazing! He’s the most loving and affectionate kitty ever, always snuggling up and kissing me! I’ve had him for 4 months from BeforeNAfterAdoption

3. What a beautiful pooch!

She looks absolutely delighted to be with you.

First day, and then 6 months later. Her dry spots are gone, the calluses on her elbows and knees have disappeared, and she GLOWS. ❤ from BeforeNAfterAdoption

4. Harvey is quite handsome now!

He’s a looker! No doubt about it!

Harvey was born the runt of a 12 puppy litter. The first picture is his first day with us at 3.5 pounds and lots of health issues. He’s now 32 pounds and getting quite handsome! from BeforeNAfterAdoption

5. From the bus stop to your house.

Looks like he’s doing just fine.

The guy from a bus stop who ate all of our food from BeforeNAfterAdoption

6. A happy little tripod.

We’re glad she made a full recovery!

We fostered Jester after her leg amputation at 6 weeks old. She was found with her leg and shoulder shattered and was terrified of everything. Now her incision has healed, she’s staying forever, and she’s the happiest little tripawd. from BeforeNAfterAdoption

7. New name. New life

And he’s living a good one!

Top: ‘Lobito’ at the animal shelter in Feb. Bottom: ‘Cooper’ on a hike today with me and da’ wife. from rarepuppers

8. She’s now a beauty queen!

And you ain’t lying about that!

When we got Hilda she was very underweight after having recently given birth; somewhere in the last 6 months she turned into a long haired beauty queen! from BeforeNAfterAdoption

9. Apollo is doing great these days!

What a good boy!

My Apollo when I found him vs. giving him lots of love, food and kisses. from BeforeNAfterAdoption

10. She keeps getting fluffier!

And that’s a GREAT thing!

UPDATE: I posted the two left pictures several months ago & many people commented on how much floof my kitty acquired in 4 months. I’ve had her for over a year now & she is fluffier than ever! from BeforeNAfterAdoption

11. A complete turnaround.

She’ll keep on flourishing with you!

The shelter sends us the dogs nobody else can handle to foster. We took in our foster Tulip a month ago, who was Code Red for being terrified of people and biting. She was also terrified of the leash, so it had to stay on. We officially adopted her on Tuesday and celebrated by learning how to swim! from BeforeNAfterAdoption

12. Nursed back to health.

Tell your cousin she’s doing a great job.

My cuz doesn’t have Reddit so posting on her behalf. She found this pup almost frozen to death on the side of the road in Long Island NY back in January and has nursed her back to the cutest health ever since. This is Ellie ?? from BeforeNAfterAdoption

Those pics sure warm the heart, don’t they?

How about you? Do you have any rescue pets in your home?

If so, please introduce us to them and share some pics in the comments. Thanks a lot!

No matter how bad your day, week, month, or year has been, it’s important to look in the mirror sometimes and say, “I’m lucky to be here and I’m gonna make the most of it!”

And that’s what leads to people appreciating and loving their lives.

Are you ready to hear from some people who definitely fall into this category?

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Time to finish it.

“Had a near-death experience where I remember my last thought not being able to finish my favourite tv series.

Made me realise that my bucket list wasn’t a complex sort of thing. It could range from something as simple as taking a diffrent route to the shop or just having the guts to actively start a conversation with my nwighbour of 11 years who I’ve never said anything beyond a hello to.

Or even just plain finishing what I started, nothing pleases more than just finishing something.”

2. All good things.

“Married my best friend.

Got into a career I was sort of passionate about, not my number one choice in the world but its good.

I plan out my weekends so I have things every week to look forward to. I have goals in my hobbies to work towards thats a huge one.

Always have something to work towards in your personal life. I am trying to make a dining room set with woodworking and want to eventually have most of the furniture and stuff in my house made by me.”

3. Met a redhead…

“Met a cute redhead whose personality is almost the exact opposite of mine (outgoing, bubbly, connects very well with all types of other people).

We became really good friends. We started dating about two years later. We got married about eight months after that.

We’ve had some struggles (mostly because of my own inability to communicate effectively), but we are very happy together now, over twenty years later.”

4. Congrats!

“I was addicted to h*roin and m*th and now I am not.

I have accomplished a bunch of stuff and generally just appreciate how happy and healthy I am now!”

5. The American Dream.

“Grew up in very poor farm in Pakistan.

Now, after immigrating to the US, I work a salaried job, graduated from University of Illinois, working on my Masters at Harvard to achieve my goal of becoming a scientist and keep living the American dream.

I know things are not great here in the US considering the climate, but I’m thankful to live here.”

6. You do you.

“Some people may disagree with my life choices here but im happy so here goes.

I live in the UK, and started working in a pub at 16 as a glass collector. I was studying cookery at college and quickly learned I didn’t want to just cook, i wanted to run the whole show.

My parents took on their own pub and since they did that I fell in love with the whole lifestyle.

I have no children and no partner, and i dont plan on changing that anytime soon. I am very close to having my own pub at 24 years old and i cannot wait.

I’m close to having my dream job before im 30, my own car, an awesome family, 3 beautiful dogs, and more money than i could have imagined at this age.

Lockdown 2.0 will prove a challenge but if we come through it ill be living the dream.”

7. It’s good to wait.

“Waited rather than settled.

Dumped a lot of okay guys, left a lot of okay (and not so okay) jobs, moved a lot, was lucky to have a baby when the time was finally right.

It’s taken a lot of tough decisions and hoping for more but it’s been worth waiting for.”

8. Keep it up.

“I’m 8 years sober.

I was drinking to self-medicate for my depression, so I didn’t really think I had an active addiction.

If I take my meds and don’t drink, every day I wake up is the best day of my life.”

9. The bright side.

“I’m depressed, I have a myriad of incurable physical and mental problems.

But god d*mmit, I get to see my favourite person every day, and I have a job that isn’t hard and pays relatively well for someone who doesn’t need to be self sufficient.

I  love my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

10. Been good for a long time.

“My life has been pretty awesome since I was 16 (I’m 40). It was pretty weird before that.

I’ve had a lot of good luck. At 16, some of the bad things left my life. My education improved. I married the right person. I managed to be moderately successful at something that fits my lifestyle (I’ve never not had enough money).

I’m self-employed. My kids are easy, intelligent and fun. I have lots of fun hobbies. I still have most of my friends from growing up and continually add new ones. And I’m sill close to my dad.

That’s pretty much it. I do actually pray every morning for peace for myself, my family, and others. And amazingly, I have a lot of peace in my life.”

11. Grateful.

“I grew up very poor.

I was homeless as a teen and struggled all through my 20s with mental health issues and creating stability. My kids have a middle-class upbringing and I’m so grateful to be able to give them that. I’m grateful for everything.

When it’s raining, I thank God for the roof over my head, heat in the winter, my bed at night. I’m not rich by any means but am so happy to be where I am.”

12. Worked hard to get here.

“I am a nurse and worked so many terrible jobs.

It was either long hours on my feet, not so many hours but lots of lifting and cleaning up people who sh*t themselves from their neck to their knees, to a Monday through Friday job with no lifting but a toxic work environment, to a great job with a two-hour commute one way.

I took a huge pay cut to work in a mental health facility for incarcerated patients. It is so chill and so rewarding. The patients are independent. I don’t have to lift them or bath them. I don’t have to deal with families. Or doctors. I spend a lot of time just hanging out and talking to them.

And some days when the techs are busy or we are short staffed, I’m the one who takes them outside for recreation time. I get to sit outside and watch them play basketball and make small talk. I work three days a week with five days off in a row. It’s like not having a job at all. Since my job isn’t physically demanding I have energy to do the things I enjoy on my days off.

I feel like I put up with a lot of bullsh*t to get to this place. Thankfully I handled my money well when I made more money, so being able to take a pay cut to work in a better work environment is just amazing.”

13. Mostly love it.

“I went from living with my mother who lives with addiction during my childhood (hating life), to marrying a guy after knowing him for 3 months at the age of 20 and we had a horrible, toxic relationship (SUPER hating life) and moving all around the country with…

To now: a 28 y/o divorcee with a super rewarding job (I work with people who are in recovery and who are homeless) and I am engaged to the best guy I have ever met. I am also back to the same state I grew up in, and I have all my amazing friends close by, and now we talk everyday.

I am still in awe I am just like “wow, you mean I don’t have to dread every moment of my life?!?” I used to pray that I could just turn back time and redo all the mistakes that I had made to end up so unhappy, but now, I am glad I f*cked the hell up.

I still have depression. But therapy and that lexapro life plus a great support system is honestly just gives me a happy f*cking life. I still struggle with my mom (she hasn’t been sober since I was 10) but that is mostly out of my control. So, yeah, mostly I love my life.”

Okay, now it’s your turn.
