This Restaurant in Texas Is Still Putting up Hilarious Signs During the Shutdown

They still got it!

I’m talking about the El Arroyo restaurant in Austin, Texas, a place that has been known for their hilarious signs out in front of their establishment for quite some time now.

And, since we’re obviously living in very strange times, the folks at El Arroyo have adapted their sign game to reflect the current times.

Their signs lately have focused on the pandemic and the shutdown in a very way that no doubt gives their customers and folks passing by a good laugh.

Let’s take a look at what they’ve been up to at the El Arroyo.

1. I don’t think you’re alone on this one.

People really love it! And they have nothing else to do!

2. This one is good.

Very clever, guys and gals!

“Worst Buy” Comes up With Terrible Products You’d Never Need

These fake products sure are hilarious…but I’m pretty sure I don’t actually WANT any of them in my house…or do I…? I guess to each their own, right?

They’re from a very funny Instagram account called Worst Buy that specializes in dreaming up awful products that thankfully don’t exist in real life.

But they sure are a lot of fun to look at!

And I have a feeling that, like the headlines in The Onion, a number of people probably fall for these shenanigans and actually believe that some of these products are real.

People are gullible, ya know?

Let’s take a look at some of the best examples of the “worst buys” you could ever want.

1. I’m gonna be sick.

These look completely revolting.

2. These look delicious.

Don’t you agree?

Is it a Good Idea to Store Pans in the Drawer Under Your Oven?

Raise your hand if you’ve recently learned that the drawers under your oven were originally meant to be food warmers, like if you’re cooking a big meal and can’t fit it all in your oven at once?

I’m totally raising my hand, y’all. My whole life, my mother, then I, used them to store things like cookie sheets, muffin tins, and the like – but should you store things like that in there?

Let’s find out together, shall we?

View this post on Instagram

Hi guys. Seriously this is one of the neatest things I’ve ever had installed in my kitchen. I had a complete purge of those unused kitchen items in order to free up a drawer to instal this. It’s a warming drawer and I can honestly say I use it practically every day. I use it to heat up plates before serving a meal or to keep food warm before it is served. I can’t tell you how great it is. It has different heat settings depending on what you’re using it for. Just now I’m heating the plates ready for the curry. 😬 . . . #warming #warmingup #warmingdrawer #kitchenessentials #ineedthat #kitchendrawers #kitchendesign #kitchendesignideas #kitchendesigner #kitchendeclutter #neatandtidy #kitchenheaven #mykitchen #gettingitright #youneedthis #kitchenhacks #whatsimportant #declutter #decluttering #declutteringtips #kitchentips #clearmyclutteruk

A post shared by InteriorsStorageandDeclutter (@interiorsstorageanddeclutter) on

The basic rule is that anything that is safe to go in your oven can be stored in the drawer.

The oven drawer gets quite hot – which is how it also can keep your food hot – so anything that is plastic, cloth, paper, or the like, will probably melt. It could also catch fire, which means that for safety reasons, make sure you’re double checking everything that goes into it.

Things like pans, Pyrex dishes, skillets, pizza stones, those muffin tins I referenced earlier, and possibly glass lids for those items, should be safe down there. They are all made of oven-safe material and so should be able to safely withstand the warming heat from the oven above.

I also keep cooling racks in mine, but some people keep grill utensils or extra oven racks inside – if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that adults everywhere are pressed for space in the kitchen.

Maybe we should all set Marie Kondo and her ideas loose in our cooking spaces, but I’d hate to lose some of my gadgets, even if I do only use them a couple of times a year!

In any case, remember that the best thing to do if you’re not sure is to check your manual.

And since we live in the now and not the fifty-years ago (when people presumably knew what those drawers were meant for in the first place), you can go online and read up on your particular oven’s specifications and models, since you probably don’t know where your manual is.

Just me?

I didn’t think so.

Be safe out there friends!

Texts That Really, Really Weren’t Meant for Parents To See

Most of us have made a mistake along the way – one where we’ve sent a text meant for one person to someone else. If we’re lucky, it was something innocuous or only slightly weird.

If we’re not lucky, we could end up like these 12 saps, who accidentally sent some totally awkward texts to their parents.

12. When you realize your mistake too late…

But at least it wasn’t a dirty text.

11. This one isn’t so bad.

It’s kind of sweet and I love that the dad gave him crap for it.

10. Do you suppose she noticed?

She definitely noticed.

9. You’ve got some ‘splaining to do.

Assuming your father knows why phones default to certain words.

8. You know she didn’t buy that.

She was just too tired to deal with it.

7. He expertly trolled her.

I can feel the sympathetic pit of dread in my stomach.

6. Well this is wholesome.

I bet that was the best mistake ever.

5. Dad knew he wasn’t talking about reverting to his childhood.

Also that was a terrible cover story!

4. This one is killing me.

Of course that’s what Mom is worried about.

3. “There is something wrong with you.”

Only a true, loving parent could say something like that.

2. I have no idea what’s going on here.

If I was his parent, I also would never want to know what’s going on here.

1. When your parents share everything.

Now you can be embarrassed twice!

I’m dying of secondhand embarrassment.

1. I can’t wait to try it!

Wait…on second thought…

Dads Who Have Nailed This Parenting Thing

Nothing can prepare you for what it’s like to be a parent. You think you’re ready, that you can handle it, and while the latter will turn out to be true, the former is not.

Seriously, you are not ready.

These 11 dads were surely in that same boat with no paddle, but somewhere along the way, they’ve managed to shore up the holes.

11. A cup is a cup. Or is it?

If you need a drink, any one will do.

10. You never even realized it, did you?

Maybe you even disliked it before, but you won’t now. Promise!

9. Not exactly conducive to doing the business.

You learn to make the magic happen, though, right?

8. This sounds like my boys! Or all boys, for that matter.

We love schedules around here.

7. These are the facts of life. For real.

You’re a morning person now. Congrats.

6. It really is, girlfriend.

A wise child.

5. Time for a science experiment.

We’re all homeschooling now anyway.

4. They have an infinite number of limbs.

At the dinner table, it’s like 37.

3. Competitiveness is innate, it would seem.

Maybe I can get my husband to do things the same way.

2. In her defense, what does time matter these days?

Ice cream for breakfast, 2020.

1. We’re just so hopeful every time.

We don’t vacation with kids, we take trips.

Parenting goals, right?  I love when dads make me laugh – it’s a special brand of giggles.

What about you? Any of these tickle your funny bone?

Let us know in the comments, fam!

Parents Who Wish Their Kids Would Double Check Before Texting

Every last one of us is guilty of sending a text to the wrong person on occasion. I’m personally so paranoid about it that I’ll often double check two and three times (especially if I’m talking about someone, obvs), but sending something awkward to my parents has not, thankfully, ever happened.

These 11 parents no doubt wish it hadn’t happened to them, but well…it’s too late for that.

11. What is happening here.

Are drugs involved? #momquestion

10. Mom with the pop culture reference win!

I aspire to be this cool a Mom (even if she probably Googled it).

9. Yeah he’s not going to be able to forget that.

Also there are now bars on your window.

8. I think we all know the answer to that.

I am dying for this kid.

7. Just cuddle your mom!

You know it will make you feel better.

6. Dad with the jokes!

Ill-timed, but still funny.

5. This must be an adult child.

Thank goodness for small favors, at least.

4. You think it was a nice save.

Your mom wasn’t just born yesterday, though.

3. I’d like to see her answer that.

Twisting herself into a pretzel won’t be good for her back.

2. I don’t know if any of that was true.

But I mean…you don’t talk about someone’s Mama.

1. It’s nice to end on a wholesome note.

I wouldn’t mind getting this text, honestly.

The awkward is so unbelievably strong with these omg.

Check Out These Funny, Dramatic Cats

I was at my sister’s house recently and she decided to put her two cats, Mac and Leo, out on her screened-in porch while we ate dinner because she knew they’d likely jump up on her kitchen counter and try to eat some of the food that was leftover.

While Mac snoozed on a chair in the sunshine, Leo pawed furiously at the door with a look of panic in his eyes because he’d been banished to the porch for about 45 minutes. He didn’t stop crying loudly and scratching for the ENTIRE MEAL.

What’s my point, you ask?

It’s that cats are incredibly DRAMATIC.

And if you have a cat, you already know that, right?

Here are some hilarious photos of cats being cats…and by that, I mean being total drama queens.

Enjoy these photos!

1. Tiny lifeguard.

But he might be a little bit emotional for the job…

I’m extremely blessed to have my own tiny lifeguard. Except, instead of using a whistle or attempting to save me. He screams at me in terror… the entire time. from Catswhoyell

2. I feel this one.

We all do these days…

I accidentally turned on the news and my cats reaction says it all from funny

3. Why are you so anxious?

It’s gonna be okay!

My cat always looks like he has anxiety. Yes, he always looks like this. from funny

4. Oh, Melvin…

What a drama queen.

Melvin demanded a walk. Then this happened. I had to carry him home. (He’s fine, he’s just a drama queen.) from cats

5. How dare you be late!

Don’t let it happen again.

I was a little late serving breakfast…… from Catswhoyell

6. Pretty much sums it up.

We’re all feeling a little bit stuck.

Life in a nutshell from funny

7. Are you having a good time?

The jury is still out on that one…

My sister took her cat for a walk last fall. We still don’t know if he was enjoying himself… from funny

8. Who are you guys?

And why are you freaking out in my yard?

Taken from my parents’ kitchen window. They don’t have any cats… from AnimalsBeingDerps

9. Not a fan of the vet.

But then again, who really is?

I took my boy to the vet. This is how he felt about it. from Catswhoyell

10. Just get out!

Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…

11. What, you don’t like this?

I thought you’d love it!

I think my cat took it personally from WhatsWrongWithYourCat

12. Loud neighbors.

They are the worst!

Upstairs neighbors are loud. We were startled together from cats

13. If you don’t follow this guy on Instagram, you should!

He’s the king of drama!
