People Talk About What Happened to Their Bullies

Growing up is full of drama.

Romance, breakups, fights, and all kinds of teenage intrigue.

But if you have to deal with a bully in school, it just makes everything that much harder.

Do you ever wonder what happened to the person who used to bully you in school?

These Twitter users gave us updates on the folks who used to torment them.

1. Oh, great…

That doesn’t sound good.

2. That’s not true.

Good thing you said something.

3. Dangit! Oh, well…

Can’t win ’em all.

4. Doing hard time.

That’s too bad.

5. That’s ridiculous.

But, as we all know, money talks.

6. Well, there’s that.

I hope that gives you some peace.

7. Too bad.

Always depressing to hear that. Also, what’s with that photo???

8. Carole Baskin?

Uh oh…what’s going on here?

9. There you go.

That does not sound like fun.

10. Total bliss.

Revenge is sweet.

11. Makes sense.

Let me make you an offer you can’t refuse!

12. Feeling guilty.

Drugs are bad.

13. That’s not happening!

Sorry, you blew it!

How about you?

Did you ever have a bully? Do you know what happened to them?

If so, please tell us all about it in the comments.

Items That People Really Thought They Could Sell Online

People will try to sell literally anything – a fact that you know is true if you’ve spent any time at all on Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, et al. The thing is, people must also be buying some of this weird stuff, because otherwise, wouldn’t people stop trying?

I don’t know the answer to that for sure, but I do know I would be shocked if any of these 12 items found a buyer.

12. Sir. SIR.

There is not one part of this post that is true.

Sure, you can call this a didgeridoo if you really want to from CrackheadCraigslist

11. Give me one good reason you couldn’t make this for yourself.

I’ll wait. Maybe I’m just not seeing one.

10. Yes, please I would like to invite a food borne illness into my home.

Ah, the memories of when I puked until I wanted to die!

Not Craigslist, but a little piece of food poisoning history can be yours for the right price. from delusionalcraigslist

9. I would be tempted to email with questions.

I would like to know how this custom work was accomplished please and thank you.

8. The shade in this description, though.

I am imagining his roommate reading it and it’s cracking me up.

Broken Jager machine; they’re not doing a good job selling it in the description from delusionalcraigslist

7. “Quite large.”

Hmm, yes, please tell me more.

Image Credit: Reddit

6. “Artisan flatulence.” Y’all.

He marked the condition as “excellent.”

The delusional part is it’s massively underpriced. A simple repackaging and better marketing he could easily sell Artisan Flatulence™ for triple the price. from delusionalcraigslist

5. To be fair, it seems as if the bananas are. red herring.

It definitely catches your eye, doesn’t it?

Image Credit: Reddit

4. That thing is even more terrifying than the original.

And if you’ve seen the original, you know that’s saying something.

$900 homemade animatronic from delusionalartists

3. How do I know it’s the world’s largest?

Is there a certificate of authenticity?

Image Credit: Reddit

2. Modified for what purpose, you ask?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Found this this morning from CrackheadCraigslist

1. No thanks. I prefer to drink my own.

I’m not paying someone else to drink wine, I can tell you that much.

Image Credit: Reddit

These are really something, y’all. I can’t believe people found this stuff, never mind are willing to part with it!

Have you ever bought or sold something really…niche online? Tell us the story in the comments!

If You Love Literature, These Memes Are for You

I love to read – even most of the classics I was forced to read as a kid have become dear to me later in life. I read all of the time, and if I’m not, I’m wishing I had a new world to dive into.

Which is all to say that these 10 memes totally cracked me up, and if you love books and reading, I’m betting they’re going to do the same for you.

Also, there’s a lot of content from The Office and Parks and Rec, so if you don’t like all the literature stuff… you’re still gonna like that stuff.

10. Because men, am I right?

And she’s soooo pretttyyy.

9. I’m never going to stop laughing at this one.

It’s just too perfect.

8. Such a delicious villain.

Just like Dwight.

7. That’s what makes him a real teenager, though.

And also what makes him really dead in the end.

6. It’s best to prepare yourself up front.

The ending never changes, either, no matter how many times you read it.

5. When you put it that way…

It’s hard to see how this story has endured for so long.

4. Isn’t that what we all want?

Michael Scott is essentially King Lear.

3. Zero chill is part of Sherlock’s charm.

Unless you have to interact with him.

2. Poor guy had to learn the hard way.

And it took him a really long time.

1. Every single time.

I still love this book, though.

These are priceless! Maybe one day I will be so clever…

What are you reading right now? Tell me in the comments!

Hilariously Random DMs That People Have Received on Twitter

You never know what to expect when you get a private message on Twitter from someone you don’t interact with on a regular basis.

But chances are, it’s going to be some level of insulting or inappropriate.

There’s a sliding scale, of course, and things can be funny and insulting and inappropriate – or in the case of some of these 13 snort-worthy messages, so completely random you can’t figure them out.

13. What a waste of good pistachios.

Those things are expensive!

12. That goes way over the line into creepy.

Who told him this was going to have the intended results?

11. Well that’s obviously never going to happen.

Move along, son.

10. I have many questions.

But I don’t think I want answers to any of them.

9. Idk I don’t think he’s serious.

Let me see the ring.

8. Say hello to Obama for me.

The camel, of course, but watch the spit.

7. Ouch!

He went right for the locks!

6. Sometimes trolling can be harmless.

This made me laugh.

5. Hey, that doesn’t rhyme.

You had me up until then.

4. This is definitely not from Yoda.

“Do or do not, there is no try.”

3. Sir what sort of American could forget that.

We all want to forget what’s in a hot dog, though.

2. At least he knows this is weird?

And yeah, it was polite.

1. That’s none of your business.

And I’ll thank you to stay out of my personal affairs.

I’m at a loss for words, but kind of in a good way?

Do you have a favorite random DM from a stranger? Tell us about it in the comments!

11 of the Funniest Comments We Could Find Online

I know most folks say “don’t read the comments,” and most of the time, I feel like this is the best course of action if you want to continue to have faith in humanity.

That said, sometimes they’re not awful and worthy of being set on fire. Sometimes, in fact, they’re far better and more amusing than the original post.

We feel like these 11 are comments you should definitely read, so go on and do it!

11. You might have to be a sharp pencil to get that, though.

So you know. Know your audience.

10. This is one of the sickest burns I’ve ever seen.

There’s not enough aloe in the world.

9. Oh man this is so wrong.

Why can’t I stop laughing?

8. Way harsh, Tai.

Not inaccurate though.

7. So many poignant replies to this one.

Because society is a trash fire.

6. I know we shouldn’t make fun of random people online.

But he was the one who styled his hair like that.

5. Yeah, nailed it.

There is always more than one way to see a problem.

4. I guess he never heard of a backup plan.

I’ll go ahead and keep all of the precautions, thanks.

3. This guy probably never came back.

How could he?

2. She gets angrier the longer she types.

It’s easy to see why, too.

1. He can definitely afford one. Or several.

How about instead of talking we fix stuff?

I’m snickering and also wishing that I could be so clever!

Which of these cracked you up the most? Tell us in the comments!

People of the Internet Have No Time for This Beggar, Who Also Wants to Be a Chooser

“Beggars can’t be choosers!”

You’ve surely heard this expression before at some point, which is usually, for some reason, said in a super chipper voice. Like, I’m going to give this to you for FREE so like, DON’T B*TCH about it!

Some people, of course, refuse to learn and abide by society’s rules, even after they get effectively and brilliantly shut down by someone who doesn’t have time for their bullhonky.

Like this person who contacted a crocheter on Instagram about a commission.

Things started badly when he/she gave the person a hard time for taking a vacation and not checking social media, but still, asked what he was looking for in a blanket.

He asked for a blanket made out of expensive fibers in a complicated stitch (of course).

She verified the size (huge) and promised to get back with a price.

Which is when the poop hit the fan, my friends.

He tried the “I can get it here for cheaper!” to no avail. Because fine?

He asked for a price breakdown, which she gave and that was totally reasonable (if you ask me).

She explains again how she reached this number, though if you asked me, she didn’t need to. But he NEEDS IT GUYS.

He tries the sick girlfriend schtick, which also flops, then tries telling her he deserves a friends and family discount bc it “took so long” for her to get back to him.

THEN he tries telling HER what he’s going to pay, which is LESS THAN THE YARN COSTS.

At which point she basically starts laughing in his face.

And totally messing with him for fun (which I 100% support).

Spot on use of Deadpool, y’all. Ryan Reynolds would approve.

He threatens to destroy her business. She doesn’t care.

She doesn’t have a business. She has an actual job and crochets for fun like a normal person who doesn’t put up with crap from random people on the internet.

And ends with an offer that’s double.

This thread is a thing of beauty my friends. It’s just…*chef’s kiss*

Have you ever dealt with someone like this? Did you give them the similar business? I certainly hope so!

Memes That Bookworms Everywhere Are Going to Love

I’ve always been a reader and with all of the extra time I’ve had on my hands (hahahaha sob) lately, I’ve been able to read more often and really check some titles off my list.

As a reader, I loved all 12 of these memes – and I just know you’re going to, also.

12. You can see why he would feel this way.

Also I can’t help but since “Burn” from Hamilton when I see this.

11. Wait I thought her crazy side was what he liked?

Obviously that Shakespeare class in college really paid off.

10. I have never seen a more perfect visual.

Also I miss Janet.

9. He’s nothing if not dramatic.

It’s part of the job description.

8. It doesn’t take long, does it.

Why does The Office mash up so well with classic literature?

7. Acting cool is hard, okay?

And they obviously had a thing for Hamlet.

6. I mean who hasn’t lost a little time there, though?

Not five hours. I hope.

5. How did Gatsby get all of the girls?

Oh right, the money.

4. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it?

But I mean, the story endures for a reason.

3. Hamlet wasn’t much for self-reflection.

Which is pretty odd, considering all of the other emo tendencies.

2. I would pay to see this update.

Perhaps I’ll write it myself, though besting the Leo and Claire version would be tough.

1. I cannot stop laughing at this.

It’s hilarious and perfection.

Ahhhhh maybe just 5 minutes with my nose in a book, then?

Which of these was your favorite? What are you reading? Tell me in the comments!

People Talk About What Society Could Be Like With One Small Tweak

So maybe most of these tweaks aren’t exactly small, but some of them are doable!

These 11 memes are pictures of how much society could be advanced if we focused our efforts on one small thing – and I’ve gotta say, I think our lives would be much improved!

11. The same goes for movies and art and academics.

Oh look, I’ve run out of space.

10. There’s always one.

God love the literal people of the world.

9. Maybe not the world.

But I mean, our homes would be a lot more pleasant.

8. Or if people from Canada were called Cadanans.

Or if the country was called Canadia. I can’t stand it!

7. As my dog is snoring next to me, I feel this.

Pets really seem to have it made in the shade.

6. See also: If JK Rowling had never joined Twitter.

In some ways the days of not “knowing” your favorite artist were blissful.

5. Are we sure this is right?

It doesn’t seem right to me.

4. They say practice makes perfect.

Genetics might come into play though.

3. Well I have some good news for you, friend.

Or maybe it’s bad news, as the world doesn’t look like this.

2. Far and away the best one.

People are terrible when they engage in that crap.

1. That definitely seems like an opinion.

And maybe a minority opinion at that.

Let’s all get behind one of these and make it happen, yeah?

Which one would you choose? What would make the biggest impact? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Movies That Made Us Root for the Bad Guy

A lot of the time when people write movies, they want you to identify with, sympathize with, and root for the hero or heroine of the story. Occasionally the villain of the tale is also the protagonist, but that’s rarer.

What can happen, though, is that villains can be so well-written, or so complex, that we feel for them – and are more interested in – their plight than that of the hero.

Here are 15 movies that have excellent villains – so much so that we found ourselves rooting for them instead of the lead.

15. There’s always somebody worse coming along.

The Monarch in venture brothers.

I love the nuance of the show and the time and patience it’s taken to truly show how terrible Jonas was.

The first few seasons all you hear is rusty complaining and telling an off putting story here or there, but it all comes off as ‘woe is me’ as he sits at the throne of his father’s empire.

But then you realize Rusty was truly, and horribly, abused his entire life, that Jonas is a worse villain than pretty much any of the actual villains, and got away with everything by being a handsome asshole.

14. The older you get, the more sane he becomes.

Mr. Moseby.

I mean seriously. You’re head of a 5 star hotel and all of a sudden some twins screw everything up.

I’m 20 and can already sympathize.

13. Just once he could have won. Don’t you think?

Wiley Coyote.

Dude was starving in the desert and just wanted to eat.

12. Comedy goes a long way in endearing viewers.

Emperor’s New groove.

Yzma and Kronk, they’re entertaining to watch until today.

11. This is a premise for a dissertation.

In Despicable Me, I think the bad guy Gru was better than good guy Gru, although I have some mixed feelings about it

Sure good guy Gru was lovely to their adoptive girls and started to enjoy the world more and more (which I think was positive, and he was still a villain after all), but the evil Gru that didn’t give a shit about others and just wanted to steal the moon was a bit funnier.

10. It’s just in his nature.

There’s just something about Predator that keeps me interested.

9. A legend will do that do you.

As much as I love Clarice Sterling in Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal Lecter is still the best character in the whole movie despite only have 16 minutes of screen time.

Sir Anthony Hopkins was so legendary he only needed 16 minutes to put his character in the minds of every viewer. The fact that Jodie foster kept up and did brilliant acting too makes it even better. Winning the best actor actress and movie was fully deserved

8. He’s definitely sympathetic, even if his methods are whack.

The Rock.

Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris.

Harris assumes control of Alcatraz prison (a now tourist destination) and uses it as a missile launch site to threaten the US government for ransom. On the surface he looks like a bad guy, so Cage and Connery have to go stop him.

Later in the movie it’s revealed that he only wants the reparations his dead men and their families are entitled to. He doesn’t hurt any prisoners and though he’s given the opportunity (when the government declines) he admits he was never going to actually use the weapon.

The movie is well written and the characters have depth enough to garner empathy for even the villain.

7. He’s a very intimidating animated villain.

Kung Fu Panda 2. I like cold calculating villains who don’t need to be ultra strong or puppet masters to prove that they’re a real threat. Shen was really interesting because he was smart in his strategy, and especially when he tries to stop his fate, but everything he does only seals it.

6. When they’re searching for justice, you want them to win.

I rooted for Gerard Butlers character Clyde Sheldon in Law Abiding Citizen.

Same here…I was so pissed when Jamie Foxx’s character won, mainly because it was his character that denied Gerard Butler’s character the proper justice for his family’s death through the legal means in the first place.

So many people died simply because Jamie Foxx’s character cared more about his case “win” percentage than actually getting justice for his client. In my mind, Jamie Foxx’s character will always be the true bad guy in Law Abiding Citizen.

5. It’s hard to contradict this argument.

The Bee Movie

Ken was the only sane person

4. He makes too much sense to be wrong.

Heat. De Niro > Pacino “Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.”

3. When you really understand a person, they can’t be all bad.

Rumplestiltsken in Once Upon a Time. Even before his redemption arc, he was just so much more entertaining for me than any of the good guys.

2. It all depends on your age upon viewing.

Dr. Houseman in Dirty Dancing.

The man works his ass off so he can take his family on a nice, long vacation. The Doc is a very lenient parent. Giving his teenage daughters all kinds of leeway and freedom to do whatever they want. When Baby asks for $300 (which is a large sum of money back in 1962), her dad gives her the money with barely any hesitation, because he trusts her.

Baby gives that money to one of the dancers so she can get an abortion, it’s botched, and who saves the day? Oh, right, Dr. fucking Houseman of course. He makes one comment about that being where his money went and then gets to work saving the woman’s life.

And Baby’s punishment for taking $300 from her father under false pretenses? She can’t do her dance routine for other vacationers. That’s. It. She has to sit with her parents for a couple of hours. Literally the most lenient punishment imaginable under those circumstances.

But of course Patrick Swayze comes in and is like NoBoDy pUtS BaBy iN a CoRnEr!

Eff you Patrick Swayze’s character. Baby deserves to be in that corner.

1. Wait they’re not the villains?

High school musical. Troy and Gabriela are a**holes.

Sharpay is an honest and hard working person. She does some mean things, but she always atones for them in the end. Troy and Gabriella? A**holes who never experience consequences for their actions and get everything they want handed to them.

I agree with most of these, and I’m a girl who loves a good anti-hero.

Who is your favorite villain? Tell us what makes you want to root for him or her in the comments!

Experiences That Everyone Has Had at Least Once in Their Lives

There are experiences only some people will have because of privilege (or lack thereof) or culture, and there are some experiences only some people will have because of their life choices.

There are some things that human beings experience, though, that are 100% universal (or like 99.99%, if you want to be technically accurate, I suppose), and if you haven’t experienced these 19 things in your life, I promise, you probably will some day.

19. This one kills me.

Because you know it, and sometimes you’ll spend the money anyway.

18. Spoiler alert: they almost always are.

But if they’re not, you might have just saved yourself from being murdered!

17. Hey, as long as you’ve been happy.

Scream the wrong lyrics if you want to.

16. You can’t see them, but you know they’re there.

How they got there, of course, remains a mystery.

15. Good thing we live in a world where we’ve got doctors for that.

And surgeries and glasses and contacts for that, too.

14. The best part is no one TELLS you to smile.

But if you want to, they’ll see it in your eyes!

13. If you’re funny, you’re funny.

Laughter is good for the soul and all of that.

12. Every. Single. Time.

And you argue with yourself while you turn back to check.

11. The best and also the worst.

Because yeah, you’ll definitely be disoriented.

10. It takes focus not to accidentally injure yourself.

Or there’s something way weirder going on, idk I’m not a doctor.

9. How do you know you’re ready otherwise?

Or that the tongs are ready? This is important.

8. None of us would survive in the twenty years ago.

You have to wait for your things AND there was no way to track them.

7. Sonic ice is the best ice.

I will not be taking arguments.

6. It’s the most satisfying thing I can imagine.

Most days. That I can do with my kids at home.

5. We don’t know WHY but we did.

Was it about copying? Not being first or last? Weigh in!

4. And you have that panicked smile on your face.

So many worries.

3. I feel personally called out by this meme.

*sits up straighter* *for now*

2. They’re like transformers.

Or maybe it really is a ghost. You should probably check.

1. The worst is when it’s like 10 minutes before your alarm.

Ugh not enough time for more sleep.

Definitely all of them for me, but I’m already (gulp) middle-aged.

What about you? Would you quibble? Tell us which ones you haven’t experienced (yet) in the comments!
