Escape Room Employees Share the Weirdest Stuff They’ve Witnessed on Camera

Escape rooms are all the rage for friend gatherings, group dates, bachelor parties, work events, you name it. You put a group of people in a room and give them a series of clues that have to be solved in order to “escape” within a certain amount of time – some are easy, some are hard, and I imagine which is which depends a little bit on the group that’s attempting to solve the puzzle.

I’ve enjoyed my trips into these spaces, but it is kind of weird to think that some kid is out there listening and watching your every move (in order to help you, but still!).

It goes the other way, too, of course, and these 18 escape room employees have seen. some. sh*t.

18. They had to know that wasn’t the actual solution.

I went to a place with my family and, while we went into our room, we saw some employees working on fixing another room.

Apparently someone from a group before ours decided the only way out was to shoulder charge the door, which wasn’t all that strong, and ripped the entire thing out of the frame. I guess they technically succeeded.

17. That is…sort of impressive.

The group of guests manage to pull an entire twin bed, mattress, frame and all, through a thin passageway and into the final room through the secret door.

They thought it would be part of the puzzle. It was not.

16. Was he trying to show off for a girl? Or?

I asked an Escape Room employee this once.

Our room had a big metal safe.

One guy who played in that room just picked up and carried the safe around the entire time.

15. Sometimes we’re just really tired, okay?

There was a room with a bed in it. Instead of continuing to follow the clues, two guests proceeded to put themselves to bed and then take a nap for half the time.

They weren’t hurting anything, so I let it happen. Before they left, they remade the bed and tucked two of our skeletons inside.

14. This honestly doesn’t surprise me.

Honestly most of the odd stuff that happens is because us employees forgot to reset one part of the room.

The worst was when this new employee reset a room for the first time by himself. He locked all of the locks, but never actually locked the door of each safe to itself, so the customers were able to open everything like there were no locks at all.

He eventually became assistant manager at our store. We were desperate.

13. I will never ever be that smart.

Nothing really earth shattering here. The strangest thing I can think of is this one time the guest skipped every clue and happened onto the final solution to escape the room in the first five minutes. As I was heading towards the exit of the room to offer them a steep discount for completing the room on record time and seeing if they wanted to try another room I overheard the guest starting to unravel the mystery backwards from the end point.

Seeing them sound so exited and into the mystery I walked back to my station and saw them solve every puzzle backwards in record time. After they got out we shared some laughs over what happened then traded a free coupon for their next visit if they told me how they unraveled everything so we can run it as a new scenario.

12. He thought he was so clever too lollllll.

Not an employee, While looking for a key, I put my hand in a box and pulled out a stuffed rat tied to a cord. I was convinced this was important, stuck my fingers up a tear in the stuffed toys arsehole and started yanking out its stuffing convinced I’d find a key, a clue… Something.

I was quickly warned over the phone by an employee that the rat was just part of the set and to please leave it alone.

TLDR: got in trouble for fingering a toy rat at an escape room.

11. What a bunch of cheaters.

My cousin went through an escape room with his friends and were solving the puzzles at an alarmingly quick rate. They were told the entire “escape” process would take anywhere around 60-90 mins. Well, they were finished in 10 minutes. The coordinator running the room was floored, and told them this was the quickest she’d ever seen someone escape. Thinking they were cheating, she went into the room. Well, whoever the employee was that “cleaned up” the escape room before them left the answer key behind.

So my cousin and his friends had found the answer key and it still took them 10 mins to escape the room. They got a refund and were asked to please try again.

10. When Rain Man does an escape room.

We had z a group that, within about 30 seconds, worked out the code because one of the guys figured out a clue from the first two sentences from the video.

They were pissed off

9. These people are the reason the rest of us have to listen to the spiel about not taking the rooms apart.

The story that comes to mind is a group of Swedish construction workers genuinely thought the solution to the puzzle was to lift the door off its hinges

Although a more common experience would be explaining to customers that the games aren’t as fun when intoxicated, and then have them complain that the game was way too hard. That stopped when we started adding a histogram of every players score on the souvenir photos, and their embarrassing times were way longer than average…

8. Okay this could be a scene in a movie.

Bachelorette party came in and booked the jungle temple themed room. They were beyond wasted and I’m not sure why we even let them play but whatever. In the first room is a book with some pictures of ‘fertility idols’, which were just little Buddha statues. One of the girls went to the bride-to-be and pointed to the Buddha and said “Look, it’s your fiance!” and everyone but the betrothed had a good laugh.​

Bachelorette stood in the corner and Blair Witched it for a few minutes, while one of her friends consoled her. 15 minutes into the game, the one who made the joke had enough of it I guess and stormed over and whipped her around and yelled “It’s not that serious, get over it!”

Dude got sucker punched by the sash wearing, tiara clad hulk. Straight domed, made a great sound. I look over at the monitor and see them all swirling in a storm of fists. I get up and head over to the phone and call the manager at the front desk and let her know about the fight club happening in Temple. They continue to fight in the hallway outside the room before moving the the sidewalk outside, giving a great show to the next door Cici’s pizza visitors.​

Best part is when they’ve stopped smashing their fists into each other’s skulls, they came back asking for a refund since they only used a quarter of the time they paid for. If you’re ever looking for a job that generates good stories, look for escape rooms. People are dumb and you get to watch them do it.

7. He’d had enough of the bullsh*t for one night.

Not an employee but my SO’s old neighbour worked at an escape room and we went to try it out, it was a lot of fun but we finally got the lock off this big wooden door for access into the second half of the room, and for some reason neither of us decided to try the door. We kept looking for clues for around ten minutes until, over the walkie, the guy straight up told us to pull the door and you can tell he was sick of it

6. What a fun gig for an aspiring actor.

I worked at an escape room where the game masters were inside the room with the guests as actors who were in character with the room’s theme.

We had a zombie room with two actors: a doctor and a zombie.

The plot of the room was fun. Guests walk in. The doctor would begin a scientific lecture about a virus reanimating dead tissue. While this is going on, the zombie, chained to the wall (chain got longer every five minutes), is snarling. After like a minute, the doctor would have to tranquilize the zombie as preparation for experimentation. Here, the zombie would attack the doctor. Alarms go off, door “self locks” to contain the virus, and we now have an hour to escape or be locked in forever.

As the doctor, I would get more and more sick as the hour went by all while trying to remain studious and terrified at the same time. With about three minutes to go, regardless where the guests were with escaping, I’d faint. Usually everyone stopped what they were doing to gawk, waiting for me to pop back up. This was usually where the zombie in the room would go ham and start chasing people around the room. With the commotion I’d twitch, and they’d scream each time I did because it added to the confusion and chaos.

With a minute left I’d pop up in a back bend and start spider walking at people with an Alka-Seltzer tablet foaming out of my mouth. I actually made someone pee themselves doing this.

5. Oh man that is super awkward.

A couple broke up in the room I was running… I then gave them loads of hints so they could get out asap

4. When you don’t have brains but…

Yeah this one guy literally walked in and kicked the door down and walked through.

His friends and I just stood there like ohhhh okay then.

3. But seriously that is not fun.

My mother and her friends went to an escape room one night for a girls night out, and while they were solving the room one of them elected to just fiddle around with the final lock on the door which was a 4-digit code, and miraculously unlocked it and walked out.

2. Whoever watched that was dyyyying.

My husband and I did an escape room a couple months ago for the first time. It was serial killer themed, so when we took the blindfolds off we were chained in a dirty, dimly lit bathroom. After getting free, we picked up this suuuuuper dim toy lantern that flickered to be creepy. We crawled around the room gathering tools and sharing this tiny flickering lantern. We solved about 4 puzzles in 40 minutes before discovering they had left us flashlights on a table to use.

1. Those are some people who have been to their fair share of haunted houses.

Was in an escape room with some friends and a bunch of strangers. Premise of the room is that you’ve been kidnapped by a serial killer and you’ve got to get yourself out of his basement before he comes back. So it’s super creepy and gross.

A few clues in, we find the key to a 7’ tall locker. One of the guys I don’t know goes to open it. I’m standing right behind him. He unlocks it and just as he reaches for the handle, the door starts to open from the inside. We were so in the moment, he and I just slam the damn thing shut and hold it with our combined weight. We’re all asking each other what to do, and there comes a polite knocking from inside the locker.

We’re all jumpy as heck, but we finally decide to let whoever is in there out. It was ‘the killer’ and he was supposed to just jump scare the crap out of everyone and run out of the room. After we all escaped, he told us that had never happened before. He was just standing in the locker trying to figure out what to do! So funny afterwards, but it genuinely scared the crap out of me when it happened!!!

Y’all, what is WRONG with people?

Have you worked at an escape room? Have you accidentally seen something you wish you hadn’t? Please, confess in the comments!

People Share the Juiciest Tidbit They’ve Learned While Pretending to Be Asleep

I would say that every human being has, at some point in their life, pretended to be asleep when they weren’t. There are all sorts of reasons one might engage in this small deception – your parents think you’re asleep, you’re trying to get your kid to sleep, you don’t want to have sex, you don’t people to think you can hear them…

And when it comes to that latter one, well…sometimes you do hear them, and sometimes what you hear can turn out to be pretty forking crazy.

Which is what happened to these 18 people, who are now going to share the gossip with you.

18. That’s a sad state of affairs.

A screaming match involving the line “I want you to say one nice thing about my kids, ONE!” Followed by silence and doors slamming.

17. Well this is sort of adorable.

I was dozing off in my bed with my girlfriend at the time when I heard her confess her love for me. She was pretty hammered, but she went into intricate detail about how she feels respected, enjoys the sex, and sees a serious future with me.

The next morning I got yelled at for not cuddling and that it was a major issue. I don’t think she even knew of her confession.

16. I can only assume you had nightmares that have only been resolved by therapy.

My parents talking dirty while they were doing it

Edit: I was around 6-8 years old

15. Oh my god why is this so hilarious?

I heard my roommate on a cruise ship getting viciously & sloppily fingerbanged for over an hour while the guy kept saying to her to, “guess how many fingers are in you now!”

14. Aww, not everyone is terrible!

I had been sleeping on the couch in my CCA room in school and I heard my name just as I woke up so I stayed put to eavesdrop. A couple of mates were talking about me in a positive light and saying nice things about me without knowing I was awake. It was really nice to hear it especially since I was a relatively low point at that time.

Every time I think about this I feel good, even though it’s been a half dozen years or so, and it always reminds me to uphold those good characteristics.

13. That’s not the thing you want to overhear. Ever.

My mum told a friend via telephone: I thought my husband was cheating, so now i do it to. I still don’t know what to do. Edit: My father has not cheated and it’s proven. My mum is just stupid, they’re getting divorced now.

12. At least she took the constructive feedback.

When I was a kid my mom would make my brother and me take naps for like 45 minutes. I pretended like I was sleeping, and I heard my mom talking on the phone to my grandma. During the conversation I assume my grandma asked what my brother and I were up to, because she said ImHully’s brother is sleeping, and ImHully is pretending to be asleep. I was like fuck.

She said she knew I was faking because my mouth was closed, and whenever I’m actually asleep my mouth is slightly open. Ever since that day, whenever I’m pretending to be asleep for whatever reason, I keep my mouth slightly open. Thanks for the tip mom.

11. After while I can only assume you never slept again.

Night after drinking with friends I wasn’t really pretending more trying to keep the my head from spinning. I overhear my buddy say to my other friend say I wonder how easy it is to smother someone to death.

10. Some serious wingman sh*t.

I was less than 3 feet away as one of my best friends took a 19 yo’s virginity.

We traveled from the bay to LA to attend a rave with some girls we met at EDC a few months prior. After all the partying took place, one buddy took the older sister to his car, and my other buddy started making moves on the younger sister.

I was “sleeping” on the floor, and was petrified, because I felt like if i moved, it would kill his game. So i sat through the most awkward sexual experience of my life, to help him get laid. It was short, and sporadic, but they both seemed to enjoy it, i think, so i think i made the right decision pretending to be asleep on the floor as they bunny humped on the bed literally 2 1/2 feet from me.

9. Oh they definitely checked.

At a sleepover, “do you think he’s circumcised or not?”

8. …at the same time?

Two people fucking and talking shit about me.

7. Yeah you definitely don’t want to take one for that team.

Back in grade school I was over at a friends place with a couple other friends for a sleepover. We were watching Kenny vs Spenny, the episode where they see who can go around naked the longest or something.

His mom comes in and thinks he watching gay porn. Naturally we pretend to be asleep while him mom reams him out and thinks he’s watching gay porn in front of us.

Sorry Scott, good times though.

6. Was it actually a joke, though? (I hope so).

My mom to her friend, when I was like 8, “I don’t actually even like her. She’s so annoying, I want to get rid of her.”

Naturally I burst into tears. She said she was sorry, she knew I was awake, and it was just a joke.

She’s got a cruel sense of humor..

5. Someone gambled and lost.

A loud fart followed by “oh shit”. And then some shuffling sounds..

4. Kids really never change.

Weekend retreat at church camp – my buddy and another friend’s girl and I ended up in a room with two bunk beds. We were chilling when I realized that I was the third wheel, so I powered down. First there were tests to see if I was awake, then she climbed to his top bunk, then kissing, then her moaning, then her telling him he should wash his hand. I got bored and did some fake sleep-talking. They laughed and continued, but they called it a night without rounding home. She left, and I figured it was best to not give high-fives till the next day.

I don’t know why I waited until we were at his house; maybe she rode back with us. Still, it was my first time playing Super Nintendo, and as he handed me the controller that would introduce me to Yoshi, I asked him, “you did wash your hands, right?”

He was so thrilled to get to talk to someone about it.

3. You could do a lot with that information.

I was drunk at a party and couldn’t fathom the world so I lay down, closed my eyes in a dark room. I heard two of my friends come in, one came over to me and poked me in the ribs then said “It’s fine, he’s asleep.” then proceed to talk about how both of them were cheating on their boyfriends and who at the party they wanted to fuck.

2. This is just mean I think!

I remember way back I couldn’t sleep on Christmas Eve, you know, being a little kid and all. So during this sleepless night where I guess my parents thought I was asleep, I heard my dad say “where do you think we should hide the new puppy?” That was pretty much at the top of my list, so naturally I was excited that I was getting a puppy. They talked for a good 20 minutes about the puppy, saying things like “how should we keep it from barking before he finds him?” before I dozed off.

Next morning, I discovered that my parents knew I was awake and just decided to fuck with me. There was no god damn puppy. I got a Gameboy though, so it wasn’t too bad.

1. That’s more than a little disturbingly funny.

A French girl I met in a hostel came in to where I was sleeping and just sat there. I had just cut it off with her so I didn’t want to deal with her shit so I pretended to be asleep for a few minutes. She just mumbled random shit, she was pretty drunk. Finally what got me up was when, in the cutest french accent, she told me she was going to set me on fire in my sleep.

I should have mentioned that, yes, I did sleep with her again after that. Sometimes you gotta do messed up shit to stay not on fire.

I’m going to have to pretend to be asleep more often, y’all!

Of course, most of the time I pretend to be asleep, I actually fall asleep, because I am old and tired. I’ll have to work on it!

People Confess Their Silliest Misunderstandings on Twitter

Every adult can remember at least a handful of times when they realized they had been utterly wrong about something that most others consider common knowledge. There’s no shame in it – no one knows everything, and making mistakes is, of course, how we learn.

That said, it can be super embarrassing. The shame didn’t stop these 11 people from replying this Twitter thread with some doozies, though!

11. It was then her dad realized they should have had a chat first.

Disappointing your kiddos sucks!

10. This thought has set many people up to be disappointed.

Some kids, some not.

9. Honestly I’m surprised they ever stopped.

That kind of thing can last a lifetime with the right sibling in charge.

8. Bless this little readers heart.

Because you only see the word you don’t know how to say it.

7. I mean. He wasn’t too far off.

This is pretty cute, though.

6. This is funny but also sweet.

And oh-so innocent.

5. Kid’s brains are just delicious, aren’t they?

I can never wait to hear what my 3yo is going to say next.

4. So boys don’t have things to wash their bodies?

That actually explains a lot.

3. I think that was the premise of Pleasantville actually.

That should be a horror movie, honestly.

2. People from Missouri have accents?

Maybe, because I know exactly what he’s saying.

1. I used to think this, too!

Though there have been plenty of divas pre-Madonna, she does it quite well.

I’m not sure I’d be willing to admit some of these!

Would you fess up to something like this? If so, our comments are open!

Nurses Dish on the Things They Can’t Believe They’ve Had to Explain to Patients

Nursing is a thankless profession that is mostly filled by people who truly feel called to the job – why else, honestly, would you deal with the public day in and day out – and not only that, but deal with things that come out of the public day in and day out?

As with everyone who has the pleasure of interacting with “regular folk” as part of their job, there are some conversations you’ll just never forget.

Here are 16 times nurses stopped and thought “omg I can’t believe I have to explain this to an adult person.”

16. She could not have been serious.

Got a phonecall in the ER from a diabetic who said her sugar was reading “high” (that typically means over 400 or 500) and I told her she should come to the ER asap, and she asked “Should I drink some sweet tea until then?”

NO

15. That’s one of those moments you have no idea what to say.

Oh man, I had a lady set up an online appointment for vaccines and she signed up for literal every vaccine available online. Yellow fever, polio, Hep A/B, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, EVERYTHING.

I saw those standard travel vaccines (yellow fever, rabies) and when the lady came in, I asked where she was traveling. I wanted to make sure she would get all her vaccines in time and that her doctor was sending in prescriptions for malaria/polio prophylaxis if needed.

She responded with “I’m not traveling anywhere, I just wanted to get updated on everything before I lose my Medicaid”.

And then refused to get her flu shot because “that makes you sick”.

14. Those poor ladies.

Painkilling suppositories come in individual foil packets.

After my c-section, the nurse handed me one and said “Don’t forget to take the foil off.” I looked at her and went “… nooooooooo! Somebody did that?”.

She gave me this really tired look and nodded.

Ouch.

13. Laughing at her wondering specifically about her neck.

Was giving a grown patient IV Benadryl for a rash and itching on the upper body.

The IV was in the right arm so I started to give the medication into the right arm. The patient panicked when I said I was done. “What do you mean you’re done? You only put it in my right arm my left is itching too!”

I calmly explained that putting medication in the IV sends it to the whole body.

She exclaimed “you mean it even goes to my neck?” I said yes and she said wow.

12. These are the people who should definitely be wearing condoms.

I’m not a nurse but i was in the Navy and i had to explain to a guy that having sex in hot tubs does not prevent std’s. also i once had to explain to a group of sailors that sharing a pocket pussy is why they all had the same std.

11. You just can’t make some things compute.

Spent WAY too long having to explain to a celiac patient that white bread was still made out of wheat and that’s why she was still sick. Nutritionist had already been over it several times and then called me in to try to convince her.

10. It’s either starve or die, you choose.

I used to work on a cardiology unit and we often would get patients that had surgery either later in the day or be next day.

I was a nurse assistant and would constantly be arguing with patients because they think we are evil for not letting them eat. “I HAVEN’T EATEN IN 15 HOURS”

I’m like I’m sorry dude but either you don’t eat or this process will begin again because these doctors don’t want to possibly kill you.

9. Now he/she has seen too much.

Not a nurse but my wife is about to get her tubes tied.

She had to sign a document stating that she would be rendered infertile after the procedure.

We laughed and the doc straight said “I used to think it was funny too.”

8. I don’t even know how to handle this information.

Did labor and delivery for awhile. We typically inserted catheters after the epidural. A lot of women would ask how they could push the baby out if something was in that hole…had to explain to many ADULT women the urethra and vagina are, in fact, not the same hole.

Also had a couple where the husband fucked the wife’s stoma and it got a gnarly infection. Explaining that you should not ever put your dick directly into someone’s stoma was a hoowee of a conversation

7. Maybe he has a thing for the shock.

Had to explain to a patient, and his family, multiple times that although he does have a defibrillator now he still needs to take his heart medicine …. a real headache of a conversation

6. I blame his stupid family, really.

I’m a neuro nurse. I once had a patient who was going into surgery the next morning, meaning they couldn’t have anything to eat or drink after midnight.

Well at 4am I go in there to check on him and he’s drinking a cup of milk and eating cookies that his family had brought him. I asked him why he was eating because he had surgery in a few short hours and his reply was that he has a bowel movement every morning so he figured we would be okay to eat because it would be out of his system before surgery.

That’s not how this works grandpa!!! ugh surgery canceled.

5. Oh my goodness and these people were procreating.

Working at ob/gyn clinic.

Had to explain to a concerned husband that his pregnant wife will not strangle the fetus if she eats spaghetti.

That’s a completely different system of organs.

4. There’s something that’s hard to believe.

Not a nurse, but I work in healthcare.

I had to listen to a dialysis patient explain to me very seriously that he had gained 6 kilos of water weight in 2 days because he had “sat in the tub for too long” and had magically absorbed over 13 lbs of fluid.

That was not a fun conversation.

3. I mean. He/she tried.

Oh man, not a nurse but I work in pharmacy.

Had a guy come who wanted malaria tablets but wasn’t sure what area of the country he would be traveling in.

Rural he would need them but the cities he wouldn’t.

He said “what’s the worst that could happen?”

“You could get malaria.”

“Yeah, but how bad can that be?”

“Dead. The worst it can be is death.”

He left the shop anyway.

2. Come on, that had to be a prank.

I, a male nurse, had to explain to a 25 year old female what her period was. She came to the ED and was concerned she had cramping and vaginal bleeding monthly.

Thought for sure I was being pranked by co-workers.

Nope.

1. Did she think someone was going to come and do it for her?

Got a call from a discharged patient.

“So I’m wearing these depends…”

“…okay.”

“Do I need to change them everyday?”

“Uhh yeah… or when they’re soiled.”

“Okay and should I clean myself up after that?”

“Yes. Yes, please.”

We thought we were being punked.

I’m dying, y’all, but not a bit surprised.

If you’re a nurse (or work in a similar profession) please share your own stories!

Movie Fans Talk About the Villains and Evil Characters Made Them Turn Against the Hero

Sometimes you root for the bad guy in a movie.

I used to think I was maybe the only person who did this, but it looks like I’m in good company with a bunch of folks who occasionally get enamored with the villains in movies and forget about the good guys and gals.

Do you do this, too?

AskReddit users weighed in on the movie villains that made them forget all about the heroes.

1. Interesting…

“Rumpelstiltskin in the “Once Upon a Time” TV series.

Depending on your viewpoint, his plans failed because 1) In that universe, Good Guys Always Win™ or 2) suckage of writers.

He was smart, tricky, beautifully manipulative, had a solid backstory that justified almost all of his actions (except for a few bits due to reason #2), and was one of the few who saw through the massive BS built around the show and its characters and could plan around it, only to have his plans fall through at the last minute, usually because of a hand-of-God last minute random thing (again, reason #2).

He should’ve been able to get everything he wanted and live happily ever after; he certainly worked harder than anyone else in that show.”

2. Oh yeah…

“Shere Khan in the live action Disney remake.

He wants to murder Mowgli because he’s afraid Mowgli will burn the jungle down. Mowgli then burns the jungle down.”

3. Hook.

“Captain Hook in the movie Hook, particularly at the end when he tries to get the kid to stay instead of going home with Peter Pan.

Like, I get it, dudes a bad guy and he’s just trying to steal the kid away when he says, “Remember how your father was never there? Look at all the things I’ve done for you.”

I came from a very neglectful home, and in rewatching this movie I remember how I would have wanted to stay with Hook so bad as a kid. In fact, if we didn’t know Hook was a villain, he looks like a much better father figure than Peter Pan until that point.”

4. This might cause some debate.

“Top Gun, Ice Man.

He’s right, Maverick is dangerous.

As I’ve gotten older…the more Maverick looks like a villain.”

5. The witch.

“Wicked Witch of the West.

We hate her cause she looks a bit gothy. But ditzy Dorothy killed her sister and went on to meddle stuff that’s none of her business. I’d be annoyed too.”

6. A great movie.

“Roy Batty in Blade Runner.

Batty wanted to gain his freedom and lead the other Nexus-6 models to safety. Instead, his dwindling ranks were hunted like rats. Although the Nexus-6 Replicants had a pretty bad reputation, Batty never gave any clues that he meant harm to the human race.

There may have been blood on his hands, but Batty only went for those directly involved with the Replicants or that were pursuing him. At the end of the day, he was just looking for answers from his creator.”

7. Poor guy.

“King Kong.

Dude’s minding his own business, living on a tropical island, and men show up, capture, and enslave him.

Fuckers deserved everything they got.”

8. A different take.

“Dinosaurs in Jurrasic Park.

The villain of Jurassic Park isn’t the dinosaurs; they’re just nature doing what comes natural. The villains are the creators, who put desire for profit and accomplishment above others’ safety. (“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should” isn’t just a meme, it’s the message of the movie.)

By the way, I used to roll my eyes at the sequels because it was unrealistic that people would put a desire for profit and fun above the safety of other people and of their own family.

Recent events have made me change my mind. People would take their children to the park that killed a large percentage of those who go, saying they “refuse to live in fear” and “have a constitutional right.”

It turns out the cheesy dinosaur movies understood human nature better than I did.”

9. Give Benny a break.

“Benny from Rent

He offered all his friends, struggling bohemians in NYC, free rent in-exchange for cancelling Maureen’s protest.”

10. He’s a villain, no doubt.

“Q from Star Trek.

Not that I hated the heroes but you just gotta love Q.

And he certainly is a villain, he kills members of the Enterprise crew and tortures entire species.”

11. The evil one.

“Dracula.

In the 90s version with Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder.”

12. Gremlins.

“The evil Gremlin.

He knew how to run a gang and party. Gizmo was a frigging pussy!”

13. Never thought I’d see this.

“Principal Rooney.

Ferris Bueller is a dick.”

14. A great villain.

“Hans Gruber from Die Hard because Alan Rickman was hot (RIP) and because Hans was so much smarter and more sophisticated than any bad guy I’d ever seen.”

15. Definitely a victim.

“Frankenstein’s monster.

The poor guy was literally born yesterday when his college-dropout, god-complex father abandoned him. Everyone hated and feared him and he had to learn everything from basic survival to human speech to reading on his own.

He was, unlike the movies, a genius and decently handsome, minus the dead eyes and paste-y complexion. He was still like 8 feet tall, and his height and haunting gaze were apparently enough to terrify everyone who saw him into a murderous frenzy.

He hid under a family’s house, and listened to their interesting and enviable life stories. He got sick of listening to people’s happy lives while he hid in fear, and befriended the family’s blind grandfather.

And then, he was attacked by the family of the man whom he had been able to call a friend for only a short time, getting shot for trying to find a friend. Then he immediately met the nephew of his father, who threatened and mocked him.

He snapped, because he realized no one ever did anything but hate and hurt him, so why should he do anything different? He killed the nephew, and framed the nephew’s maid for the murder.

What does our hero, Frankenstein, do? He lets the maid get executed because he doesn’t want to face consequences. Yeah, some hero.

Now, the monster doesn’t take it farther, he just asks Frankenstein to give him a wife/friend/someone who loves him. He knew he might have happiness and was more concerned at that point with being left alone to have a family.

What does Frankenstein do, when he hears his monster will leave him alone and they can both be rid of the anger and fear he created by playing God in the first place? He gives up halfway through and destroys the monster’s half-made wife.

Frankenstein’s Monster goes apeshit, as could reasonably be expected, and killed Frankenstein’s friend and his wife as revenge, and then fled to the north pole and offed himself because life is cruel.

So yeah, not the best guy, but between the fake doctor who has more ego than spine and systematically let all his friends die, and the monster who didn’t choose to be born and wasn’t given a bit of kindness that didn’t stab him in the back later, I pick the big guy.

The Monster wasn’t a good guy, but at least his bad actions had a reason, besides “I don’t care about other people,” and “I’m afraid of owning up for my mistakes.”

Well, there you have it.

Now we want to hear from the readers out there.

In the comments, please tell us about movies where you ended up rooting for the evil characters.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

People’s Hilarious Confessions of Things They Believed for Way Too Long

It’s cute when a child pronounces something wrong, sings the wrong lyrics to a song, or makes funny assumptions about life based on their own limited knowledge.

It’s less adorable when it happens to an adult, but it is hilarious – and we’re allowed to laugh at grownups, so there’s that.

These 9 people are putting their embarrassing misunderstandings out into the world, so let’s take a look, shall we?

9. Kind of like a library I guess?

I have no idea what she’s talking about with the rest of it.

8. He straight-up admitted it took until he was 30.

Brave man, that one.

7. Well she got the lubricant part right.

This one just killed me.

6. I 100% pronounced it that way the first time I saw it in a book.

I was in middle school, though.

5. The wording is a bit confusing.

To a child, I mean.

4. I need to know at what age they learned the truth.

But he was kind of a villain.

3. Oh my goodness that poor dear.

Bless her little pea-pickin’ heart.

2. I can never un-see that now.

The name thing cracks me up though.

1. Like in Bedknobs and Broomsticks I guess.

That song about Portobello Road really isn’t appropriate for kids, right?


Some of these are understandable, but others…I’m not so sure!

Do you have a confession to add? Share it with us in the comments!

People Who Found Really, Really Old Food While Cleaning Out Their Fridge

Let me say that I am not judging any of these people. I have found ancient food in my fridge, my freezer, and in one unforgettable moment, a potato that had fallen behind a cabinet and was no longer recognizable (except for the stench).

That is how I know, with 100% certainty, that some finds just have to be shared – and I think these 16 items definitely fall into that category.

16. The face I just made is hard to describe.

Nothing about this is okay.

15. Twenty-five years is a long time.

I’m not sure that’s still going to puff up.

14. You know this is old.

Because no one keeps that anymore.

13. These are a mere 10 years old.

They are corndogs, though – barely food – so they should be fine.

12. I did this the other day.

Cheese was a bit congealed but nobody died.

11. That’s what you call vintage.

I should know; it’s older than I am.

10. That’s…sweet? I guess?

As long as you don’t eat the jelly.

9. That can has seen some stuff.

Which makes sense, because who on earth would eat it?

8. Yeah, that’s probably a bad sign.

Too bad. Throwing out alcohol is tragic.

7. I guess that poor turkey got the last laugh…

From turkey heaven, I suppose, but still.

6. That sounds like it was a fun day.

If you’re into gross stuff.

5. 1982 was a good year for pineapple cheese spread.

Maybe the only year.

4. What is “coffee whitener?” Creamer?

If it’s like shelf-stable creamer here I’m pretty sure it lasts forever.

3. I’m guessing she was not much of a cook.

I wonder if she’s improved or was still insulted.

2. This seems like it would be okay.

Isn’t that the whole point of drying herbs?

1. I feel like that bottle might be worth something.

Not the flat and worthless cola, but the bottle.

I am as stunned as I am amused – great combination.

What’s the oldest thing you’ve ever unearthed from a freezer? Tell us about it in the comments!

People Share Insults People Say That Sound Like Compliments

You’ve been here before: someone gives you a compliment and then a few minutes later it dawns on you…HEY, THAT WASN’T A COMPLIMENT! THAT WAS AN INSULT!

And then you get offended and start crying and you’re not friends with that person anymore…at least that’s the way it works for me…

What are some insults that people throw out that are cleverly designed as compliments?

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. Keep trying!

“I love what you’re trying to do with your hair…”

2. Ouch…

“Good for you.

This is passive aggressive through and through.”

3. That’s not nice.

“My grandma used to tell us that if you ever met an ugly baby you should said “wow that is SOME BABY”.”

4. Oh, Grandma.

“My grandma always says people are “good and kind” when they get on her nerves.

They think shes a sweet old lady, when shes really saying they’re “good for nothing and kinda stupid”.

I got it engraved on a mug for her.”

5. Standing out.

“That outfit is really brave.”

6. Thank you?

“You’re much smarter than you look.”

7. The very least.

“I was doing a timed work skills test a month into a new job and it took me forever so he let me do it again.

It took just as long the second time and he said, “Well… at least you’re consistent.””

8. Who would actually say that?

“Someone once said to me “you aren’t as horrible as everyone told me you’d be”.”

9. Packing on the pounds.

““You look…. healthy” where I’m from, the nice way of saying someone has gotten fat.”

10. You’re really doing it!

“You’re so confident!

This has got to be a kick to the nuts. Said in the right tone that must suck.

Cuz you know homeboy built up quite some courage to rock those assless chaps and now Aunt Karen just dropped that bomb on you at the family Christmas party…”

11. Major eye roll…

“I love my mother, but she used to hit me with this.

She’d say, “You know what I love about you – you just don’t care what other people think” when I’d leave the house without makeup. ?”

12. Well, gee…

“Your sister is beautiful and you are…smart”

13. No respect.

“With all due respect,…” when it’s clear none is due.”

14. Not a good thing to hear.

“You are impossible to underestimate.”

15. Over sharing.

“One of the guys I was dating told me ‘you share your emotions and feelings quite often’.

I took it as I probably talk too much about things and shouldn’t, but he told me that no it’s a good thing and it helps. Still made me think twice the next time I wanted to share things.”

16. An old classic.

“Classic chubby girl insult: “But you have such a pretty face!””

17. That’s so rude.

“While waiting tables, an old woman told my coworker that he’s “handsome for a Mexican”

Biiitch he’s just handsome.”

18. Insulted.

“That reminds me so much of “you’re a lesbian?? but you’re so pretty!!”

Like, good job insulting both my people and my taste in people in one swift blow.”

19. Some people need to hear this.

“I hope you have the day you deserve.”

20. I might’ve heard this one before…

“You’ve got a face for radio.”

21. Smart…for a girl.

“In the line at Walmart there was an old lady and a man trying to figure out how much money they needed to pay and when I said the amount,

He told me that I was pretty smart for being a girl.”

22. Name the movie!!!

“It’s understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself.

-Abe Froman”

23. Is that good or bad?

“You have completely met my expectations”

24. Very insulting.

“You talk so eloquently” “you speak so well” towards a black person as if we all talk like we’re from the depths if the hood.”

25. Hahaha.

“If you are in the South, “Bless your heart”.”

26. Not sure how to take that.

“You haven’t changed a bit!”

27. Who are you?

“You look so pretty I didn’t even recognize you.” My mom said that to me one day when I was leaving for high school. She totally didn’t mean it to be an insult, but I felt that one.”

28. Fashionista.

“I love how you just wear anything!”

29. Growing up…and into…

“Oh, I see you’re finally growing into those ears.”

30. Carry the weight.

“You carry your weight well.

Said to me by a much thinner friend.”

31. Never thought of that…

“I’m a little surprised this isn’t on here.

I heard that stewardesses will say “See you next time” to airline passengers that have been particularly troublesome. Sounds innocent until you abbreviate it “C U Next Time”.”

32. You look…

““You look tired”.

Just another way of saying you look like shit.”

33. How do you interpret this one?

“You really are something else.”

34. No one wants to hear this.

“Well, aren’t you precious?”

35. A modern classic.

“Cool story bro.”

Ouch…those really leave a sting, don’t they?

Okay, now it’s your turn!

In the comments, tell us about insults you’ve received in your life that sound like compliments.

Please and thank you!

Rivalry Between Two Artists is Epically Hilarious

We love a good rivalry. The Capulets and the Montagues. The Avengers versus Thanos. Harry Potter versus Voldemort. The list goes on.

Apparently, the art world has one of the best rivalries of all time. This petty feud is truly next-level, and if you haven’t heard of it, you’ll be super familiar by the end of this Tumblr thread.

The feud is between two artists: Anish Kapoor and Stuart Semple. Here’s how it gets started:

The Bean, aka Cloud Gate, in Chicago was created by well-known artist Anish Kapoor. He’s not all that well-liked in the art world apparently.

The drama continues:

But don’t think the story ends there:

Sample, of course, has to pour salt in the wound:

He’s a cheeky fellow, isn’t he?

But wait, there’s more:

And then there are the counter-strikes:

And then there’s Halloween Bean:

Ouch, let’s go easy on the little guy, OK?

Photo Credit: Tumblr

Gotta love Guy Fieri!

And this one really speaks to those frigid Chicago winters:

And then there’s this gem of an event:

And apparently Stemple is just a badass, because he’s also willing to use his art to stand up to other inequities:

Well, there you have it, the most epic feud in the art world. Using pigments and Facebook events to get revenge — now that’s something we hadn’t considered before!

What’s your favorite rivalry? In pop culture, sports or otherwise?

People Talk About What They Thought Was Really Expensive or Cheap When They Were Kids

When I was young, there was a family in our small town and they drove a convertible…

And I thought they were THE SHIT.

Who actually OWNS a convertible, I used to think to myself. I believed they lived in a mansion, went to country clubs, and probably had maids and butlers.

Looking back on it years later, I think it was actually kind of a middle-of-the-road car (I can’t remember what kind, exactly). The point is that when you’re a kid, you have little or no concept of money and what things really cost.

But it always makes for hilarious stories later on!

Let’s dig into some stories from folks on AskReddit.

1. The good stuff.

“Always had sparkling grape juice as kids but only for New Years.

Seemed like such a lavish bottle. They’re cheap as hell… but only having it that often made it feel so special.”

2. She loves it!

“It never occurred to me that some food was more expensive than other food. I 100% thought my mom made spaghetti all the time because it was her favorite.

I was much older when I realized it was because it would feed a lot of people very cheap.”

3. Three flavors.

“I always thought Neopolitan ice cream must’ve been the apex of ice cream decadence and expense because you got not 1, not 2, but THREE flavors in one tub!”

4. Well, it turns out…

“Food colouring and fondant icing for baking. Thought it was sooo expensive and that’s why only fancy cakes used them.

Turns out they cost like £1 each.”

5. A painful lesson.

“The dentist.

Didn’t think I’d be in debt from getting teeth fixed.

My husband and I are having to take turns with the dentist this year. He needs more work so I’m going to let him go first once things open up, because we can’t afford for us both to go.

Luckily I just a need a few fillings, he needs a root can*l and a crown.

He had a bunch of work done last year too. I don’t even know why we have dental insurance if it covers so little.”

6. Costs a fortune.

“Disneyland.

Honestly I didn’t really have a guess on how much a ticket was but we got to go every couple of years so I figured it was no big deal.”

7. Getting fancy.

“Going out to anything other than fast food was an expensive night out.

Even Applebees.”

8. You must be loaded.

“Disney movies.

I grew up poor and my dad would always get the forgettable off brand versions of popular cartoon movies. Instead of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, for example, I’d get to see The Secret of the Hunchback. Lots and lots of that.

When I saw a kid who owned a REAL Disney movie on VHS I assumed they were very rich. I didn’t realize you could buy several in one month and not have to declare bankruptcy even without being rich.”

9. It adds up.

“Curtains.

Never thought of them being valuable.

Guess what, if you have someone make them fit your place they cost a fortune.”

10. Don’t throw those away.

“Those self-stick bows you put on gifts.

I used to think they were super expensive because everyone in my family used them over and over. We had a few that we used so much, they were recognizable. We had a few “fancy” ones. Wrapping paper too!

Based on how careful my family was about not tearing it and how my grandmother would fold it, I figured it must be really expensive…yeah, both are super cheap.”

11. Everybody’s doing it.

“College.

My oldest brother and all his friends went to college, never mentioning the expense.

As a kid, I thought it must be cheap because “all the guys are doing it.””

12. We’re staying in tonight…

“Going out to eat.

I think I thought it cost like $10-20 or something. I never understood why we didn’t go to more restaurants when I was a kid. Thought my mom was just cheap.

Turns out feeding a family of five at mediocre restaurant can easily cost over $100.00 if people get drinks, appetizers, and dessert.”

13. My life is over!

“I stood on our toilet seat and broke it when I was around 10. I was so upset thinking that it was the biggest mistake of my life and would cost my parents so much money.

I replaced my toilet seat last week and it cost me $6.”

14. Only for the very wealthy…

“Balloons.

Such an extravagance! Once a year only, for your birthday party – and even then you get just one each. Be careful, don’t pop it!

I prized that thing – it provided entertainment for days.

You can buy 100 for a fiver.”

15. Moms do that kind of stuff.

“Always thought clothing was cheap.

Wasn’t until I was in college that I realized I always had new clothing because my mom never bought anything for herself for life 15 years.”

16. That’s all I’ll need!

“Ten dollars is a lot of money for a kid.

I thought I could run off to California, pay for the flight, food, and downpayment for a celebrity mansion with ten dollars.”

I don’t know why, but I got a HUGE kick out of those responses.

Now it’s your turn!

In the comments, please share the things that you wrongly thought were really expensive or really cheap when you were a kid!

We look forward to hearing from you!
