#5. Kidnapped!

There are three men who have been kidnapped and locked in a room. The only way to escape is a window high up above them, and since they only need to get one man out in order to get help, they try standing on each other’s shoulders.

They’re still a few inches short of the window, though. What should they do?

15 People Share the Most Awkward Situation Anyone Ever Put Them In

Awkward situations can be uncomfortable, but it gets even more interesting when someone else brings the awkward your way.

These 13+ people experienced the perfect storm and are here to share their uncomfortable experiences for the internet’s enjoyment.

Let’s thank them, and cringe in solidarity.

#15. He was a really good guy.

“I caught my sister cheating on her husband. I introduced them to each other, and I had worked with him for a few years. We weren’t really close at the time, but it sucked because he was a really good guy.”

#14. Real tough situation.

“My mom sent me an “invoice” for raising me; called her to see what was up. Says that if I don’t pay the amount she’s gonna lose the house she’s living in. Lamented that I was an expensive child (read: health issues), and how she was owed this money. I hadn’t spoken to her in 4 years prior to that. Real tough situation.”

#13. Out loud for everyone in the office to hear.

“I was waiting in a school office to be interviewed for an Art teaching position in a middle school 7 years ago.

There was another art teacher who already worked at the school in the office and she was trying to be friendly and make conversation with me.

She pulls out her cellphone and asks me my name. I tell her and she immediately logs into Facebook and finds my profile (which I left open to public at the time) and immediately starts reading my profile out loud for everyone in the office to hear.”

#12. We never talk about it.

“The time my sister and her boyfriend moved back in with our parents and one night he texted me from their bedroom that he was starting to have feelings for me.

Edit: since then they broke up, worked out their differences and figured out what was going wrong in their relationship, got back together. They are now doing very well, they have two sons and are engaged. We never talk about that text.”

#11. She cried.

“I’ve been at a small boutique beauty studio for the past year and a half. It’s just 4 employees. The owner and I got close, but I realized I’ve been wanting to go on my own because our policies and client management seem to clash a lot. It’s her business afterall, and I’m an independent contractor there.

I told her that after much thought it’s time for me to go. She cried, a lot. It’s gotten to the point where her eyes water up whenever the topic comes up. We even thought it’s best I go before the 2 weeks notice is up because she feels it’s so hard for her emotionally to see me there.

I feel as though I am going through a breakup. Definitely not how I imagined this going. I literally feel like I broke her heart into pieces and as though this was a real relationship I’m getting out of.”

#10. That is just not right.

“My high school English teacher read us erotic poetry she wrote about her husband… who happened to be our History teacher.”

#9. I had to drive them.

“I was driving, third Wheeling with a buddy and his girlfriend and they broke up after a heavy argument during dinner, before the movie. I had to drive them to their own houses and I dropped the girl off last and got a whole ear full of what my buddy was like to her.”

#8. When I said no…

“This chick asked me to be her BF while her mom was driving me home and we were in the backseat, it was really awkward when I said no….”

#7. I didn’t cover for him.

“At my on-campus job, the manager was fucking an employee. His wife was very suspicious. I often had to answer the phone when she called or she would stop by right after he left with his side piece. I never explicitly said he was having an affair to her (I didn’t have absolute proof at the time) but I didn’t cover for him in any way at all. I knew he was pissed I wouldn’t lie for him but he knew he couldn’t say anything about it to me.”

#6. If the mom didn’t stop me.

“I grew up not actively doing religious stuff and I lived in the middle of an aggressively Mormon neighborhood. One day when I was in the third grade I was invited to one of my super Mormon friends house for dinner. I went and her mother asked me to say grace. Being a stupid 10 year old with no idea how to say I didn’t know how, I clasped my hands together and mumbled under my breath for five minutes. *five minutes *. I probably would of gone long if the mom didn’t stop me.

I didn’t have dinner with them again.”

#5. The guy you are replacing.

“Being trained to do the job by the guy you are replacing. Three weeks of hanging with the guy, talking, learning that he thought he was going to be able to go on vacation after I finished training and how thankful he was for them hiring me.”

#4. Never said a word.

“My dad told his then girlfriend he paid for my student loan and downpayment of my house because she kept begging him for money and he needed to make it look like he had none. He also figured it would make him look good. Gave my daughter all my money to help her kinda thing.

The way I found out he told her this was when she called me SCREAMING that I was selfish for taking all of my dad’s money. He’ll have nothing left for retirement you selfish piece of shit child! If you were my daughter I would DISOWN you. Good, bye. My dad didn’t defend me or anything. Never said a word.

What bothered me most though was the fact that my dad never, and I mean never gave me a dime for anything my entire life. He had to lie to make himself look good but never ever actually did anything to make himself good.”

#3. Super awkward.

“I went to school with a set of twin girls. The first one got pregnant super young. Then, after her baby was born, her twin got pregnant. At the baby shower for the second twin, the twins’ Mom is saying something about both of them having learned their lesson and not having any more babies for a long time. She noticed the look on the first twin’s face and started freaking out. Twin one was pregnant again. The mom was standing between the guests and the door yelling at her two teenage pregnant daughters. Super awkward.”

#2. I didn’t know.

“I’m about to go for supper with my mom’s new boyfriend, she’s 50. I didn’t know my parents were divorced.”

#1. I wanted to just crawl under the table.

“My husband and I went to a Wine and Paint event one evening. My canvas was angled so I had to face the couple across us and to the left a little bit. There were about 6 couples at our table and everyone was pretty quiet focusing on their painting. The woman I was facing randomly said, “Do you know my husband?” to me because she thought I was looking at him across the table. In reality, I was looking at the teachers painting past him. You could feel how uncomfortable everyone at the table was and I wanted to just crawl under the table.”

These 12+ People Shared the Worst Advice They’ve Ever Been Given

Giving someone good advice is a great feeling. Both people involved get something positive out of it and end up better in the long run. Bad advice, however, can really ruin things for both people involved.

Just ask these 15 advisees:

#15. Just don’t.

“”Just dont think about it like that anymore.”

Oh, no shit? Just dont think bad thoughts? It would have NEVER occurred to me. /s”

#14. Useless.

“Just tell your brain to cheer up”: This piss useless piece of advice, given to me when I was suffering from depression…..”

#13. A copper penny.

“It’s okay to put a copper penny in a screw-in fuse box if you don’t have replacement fuses handy.”

That’s what my friend’s grandfather said, and it resulted in an electrical fire that almost destroyed his house.”

#12. No thanks, Mom.

“Just get pregnant! We’ll raise it together!” no thanks mom.”

#11. I don’t think that’s healthy.

“My old roommate once told me to never leave a man without having another one lined up ready to go. Now I’m no relationship expert, but I don’t think that’s healthy.”

#10. A lot of time!

“Use coconut oil for smooth skin. No, It broke me out so bad, It took me weeks to get it back to normal, And for someone with dry skin, that’s a lot of time!!!”

#9. I say to myself…

“When I was leaving the Army I had to see this career counselor who’s job it was to try and talk me out of it.

His “advice” consisting of telling me that I wouldn’t make it college and that without the security of the military I’d flounder and end up homeless.

Every single time something goes right in my life I say to myself “Fuck that guy.”

#8. WTF.

“‘If you start wearing more brand clothing, maybe people will start liking you’ Like wtf.”

#7. Dear old dad.

“Never wear condoms, it’s like jumping into a pool with socks on.”

-My Dad”

#6. Well, then.

“Hey dad, I went to the doctor today (after 30 years of you telling me nothing was wrong with me) and I got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It looks like I’ve had it almost ALL MY LIFE.”

Dad’s advice, “Well then stop being anxious.”

#5. What I’m good at.

“Follow your dreams”, I’m horrible at what I dreamt of being. Now I’m studying what I’m good at and I’m having a waaay better time.”

#4. It can be exhausting.

“To follow what my mother says because she wants what’s “best” for me when in reality she’s just trying to re-live her life through me. Even if she means well it can be exhausting.”

#3. You got this.

“Just hit it at full speed bro! You got this!” All I got was broken ribs, collarbone and concussion.”

#2. “Help.”

“Just ignore them” – every teacher who’s help I sought out after being bullied by classmates.”

#1. He likes you.

“If a boy is mean and bullies you, it just means he likes you and thinks you’re cute”

Dad Live Tweets Going on a Field Trip to the Science Museum with 60 Kids, and It’s Hysterical

All parents secretly (or not so secretly) look forward to the time when their kids go back to school. They love their kids with all their heart, but even the best parents need some space. So why would any sane parent subject themselves to chaperoning a school field trip?

Well, why don’t you ask Simon Smith, a dad from the U.K. who recently accompanied his daughter and 59 of her classmates (yikes!) to the Kensington Museum. Along the way, he provided regular Twitter updates on the nightmare that was his day.

This is Simon Smith, a loving dad who volunteered to be a chaperone on his daughter’s school field trip.

It started off innocently enough…

Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before things started going downhill.

Even though they were told to use the toilet before the trip began, kids are kids.

That’s when the real nightmare started to unfold.

Even his daughter turned on him.

Then, there was puking.

Possibly the worst part, however, was the string of neverending questions.

Things didn’t improve upon arriving at the museum, either.

Simon made sure to document the many gems the kids said to him.

Here’s how he described his ordeal to his wife:

Then it came time to visit the gift shop, which was also predictably disastrous.

The return trip was also horrible.

His final tweets pretty much summed things up perfectly.
