Things About High School That Are Pretty Weird to Look Back On

Do you remember high school?

I guess some of you reading this might actually BE in high school, so forgive the assumption. At this point in my life I’ve forgotten that people that young even exist. For those of us looking back on it, it’s truly a bizarre place. The kind of space where things happen which, out of that context, would never stand up to scrutiny.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. Just listen to these observations, courtesy of the internet.

10. The start time

I woke myself up around 6:00am, regularly, to drive my sister and I to school.
I cannot believe in retrospect that I had this in me.

9. The five minute mile

If I did that today I’d have to take the rest of the day off.

8. The hall passes

Ya gotta get creative when the whole school is completely broke.

7. Square dancing

You may hate this, and it will almost certainly never come in handy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not mandatory.

6. The theatre kids

I was one of these kids and even I was freaked out by us.

5. The fighters

All those hormones with no place to go.

4. The anti-theft

Clever ruse, attaching a calculator to a Nokia.

3. The line

Do it. You just gotta.

2. The bathrooms

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

1. The chairs

I’m gonna go ahead and cast my vote for nay, my butt hurts just looking at this.

Middle school chairs yay or nay from nostalgia

At least we all got an education, right? …right?

What’s the weirdest thing about your school experience?

Photos From People Who Are Doing Weddings the Right Way

Ah, the wedding day. A magical time for you and your spouse, the day you’ll never forget.

No matter how hard you might try.

It is a day frequently immortalized by photographs, often very expensive ones, but some caught off-the-cuff. Of the endless supply that’s out there, though, only a few rise to the top to become internet legends that get spread far and wide to the rest of us.

Here are some of those, thanks to Imgur/Reddit.

15. Best in the world

I’d rather have a bottle in front’a me than a frontal lobotomy.

Best. Wedding. Photo. Ever.

14. You’re outta here

“At our wedding an usher had a rude girlfriend who wanted to be in the middle of pictures (dressed in white!) I got upset but my photographer said ‘I’ll fix it later don’t worry!’”

13. Potato, potato

Ironically this had to cost way more than just a normal invite.

My best friend finally mailed me an invitation to his wedding.

12. The summoning circle

Um. You good, kid?

11. What happens in Vegas

Will haunt you forever.

My uncle’s wedding in Las Vegas, streamed live on the internet. from trashy

10. Loving gift

This reminds me of when televangelists offer terrible gifts in exchange for “love offerings” to get around taxing their stupid merchandise.

I was told this wedding invitation should be under trashy. from trashy

9. Carry me home

When they talk about the threshold, I’m not sure that’s what they mean.

Every girls dream is to be carried on her wedding night. from trashy

8. Here comes the somebody

This is like the one unforgivable sin of wedding attire, how do people keep doing this?

That woman on the left is not the bride… from weddingshaming

7. Keep it classy

I mean, I’ll give ’em this, it’s a brilliant cost-saving measure.

Wasn’t expecting to see a wedding when I stopped at Wal*Mart this weekend… from trashy

6. Hiding in plain sight

Look, to each their own, but there’s something that hits me weird about hiding from would-be assassins as a form of romance.

Has anyone seen the bride? I can’t find her. from weddingshaming

5. So stinking happy

I see what you did there.

Autocorrect? from weddingshaming

4. Once again

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING, JUST STOP.

You’re probably wondering why this is shame worthy. Well how do you feel now that you know she was ***NOT*** the bride from weddingshaming

3. MRPA?

It doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.

The Russian equivalent of the MAGA wedding from weddingshaming

2. How cute

But how am I gonna look good for a photo if I’m preventing a plague? Priorities, man.

When the toppers on your toilet paper cake have masks, but none of your guests do. from weddingshaming

1. Caught him

I’m not here to kinkshame, but maybe keep this in the bedroom. And yes, that’s motherf**king Carole Baskin.

Great wedding photos.. from weddingshaming

I can only hope my big day is half as classy.

She Had the Police Go to Her Stepsister’s Wedding. Is She a Jerk?

It’s the cops! Everybody run!

Okay, I guess the people involved in this story couldn’t really run for it because they were at a wedding…which makes this story so strange.

Read on to see what happened in this entry from the “Am I The A**hole?” page on Reddit.

AITA For sending the police to my stepsister’s wedding?

“I (f32) lost my mom when I was 23.

It was by far the most traumatic loss I had experienced. I just couldn’t and didn’t want to accept her death. It was unfair, untimely, and preventable. I got in therapy and was doing better but I had issues with my dad’s new wife and her daughter who’s 25 and just got married weeks ago.

We do not have a close relationship but we were cordial enough to sit at dinner tables. My stepsister treats me as a relative and was as much distant from me. But after my father got sick we had to see each other a lot. I’m handling his care while stepmom works full time and stepsister doesn’t do much though she’s always visiting when I moved in to help my dad.

Before that I was living with my ex so returing home was just in time. I brought with me all of my mom’s belongings and my stepsister showed interest in my mom’s necklace and asked if she could borrow it to wear it at her wedding. I refused and she tried every method to convince me i had to put it in a place where I thought it’d be safe after my stepmother got involved.

As the wedding approached they both kept convincing me to let my stepsister have it (she bragged about affording a better one but it was a matter of showing who’s in control) I stood my ground and told them how serious I was so they backed off.

I didn’t attend the wedding to stay with my dad. I remember wanting to change where I was hiding the necklace while the house was empty but I found it was gone. After searching for hours, I called my stepmom and she said not to worry my stepsister took it and will return it when the wedding is over but it was clear that I won’t see it til after the honeymoon since she said her daughter was staying at a hotel.

I screamed at her to return it but she argued about not wanting to leave the guests and the wedding already started. I told her I’d get it myself but she forbid me from coming saying she’d have to keep me out for wanting to make a scene. I called the Police and explained to them what was happening. I informed them my stepsister intended to leave for her honeymoon with my property.

The Police were sent to where the wedding was being held and they were able to retrieve the necklace from my stepsister. She and my stepmom were in shock and livid. She (stepmom) returned home and kept shouting at me calling me petty and crazy to send the police to my stepsister’s wedding. ruining it and humiliating them over a piece of jewelry.

She was screaming at my sick dad telling him to handle me after the stunt that I pulled at the wedding. I defended myself saying I only wanted an item that belonged to me THAT THEY TOOK WITHOUT PERMISSION returned. She argued further that I could’ve waited to get it back but I chose to burn the bridge with my stepsister and said that she considers me dead after this. She said stuff I can’t mention here but all I can say is it was a bad night.

I might have overreacted by getting the police involved but I had no gaurantee of getting the necklace back since I have experience with them in the past.

AITA?”

Now let’s check out how Reddit users responded to this story.

This person said that this woman is not the a**hole here and that her step-family most definitely is.

Another Reddit user said that the stepdaughter is acting this way because she most likely learned it from her own mother.

Another individual said that this was indeed the worst kind of humiliation…and that’s some pretty good revenge, don’t you think?

And lastly, this person argued that the stepsister only did this because SHE is the a**hole and wanted to upset the woman who wrote the post.

Okay, now it’s your turn to sound off.

In the comments, tell us what you think about this story.

We’d love to hear from you!

Employers Should Stop Doing These Things in their Job Listings

The anxiety of not knowing where your next paycheck is coming from is certainly not helped along by the fact that looking for a new job, for most of us, is a process that makes us feel like we’re taking crazy pills.

As we wade through various websites, filling out forms and trying to discern requirements, the tasks we’re asked to clear start to feel alien. Is this real life? Is this a real job?

People who find themselves hopelessly frustrated with these things will soon be on Reddit making their complaints known, and based on that, here are some things employers should maybe stop doing if they really want to land a good hire.

10. Use applicants as free marketing

Everybody can see through this.

Another company using job seekers’ desperation to do PR for free from recruitinghell

9. Use form letters that are obvious lies

Dude we literally never met.

So curious how this recruiter "enjoyed meeting me" during an interview they flaked on and didn’t apologize for missing? from recruitinghell

8. Try to hire beyond your means

So why did you talk to me?

Everybody requires security clearance, nobody got time to sponsor it. The usual. from recruitinghell

7. Be so picky

Beggars and choosers and all of that.

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. from recruitinghell

6. Mislabel your listings

All you’re doing is wasting everybody’s time.

The location for the job posting is literally labeled "Remote"….but okay. from recruitinghell

5. Demand so much

Do you have any idea what a doctorate costs in America?

Huh?! Those qualifications, for that role, for THAT pay? from recruitinghell

4. Add extraneous responsibilities

As the list gets longer, the applicant gets more afraid.

[NY] Why are we doing this. from recruitinghell

3. Assume the worst

Resume gaps happen for all kinds of reasons, and laziness is far from the top one.

Stay Classy Recruiters from recruitinghell

2. Just disappear

You realize that by the time you get back to them, they’ve moved on.

Recruiter ghosted me on a phone screen. Two weeks later this was the email. from recruitinghell

1. List non-jobs as jobs

“After three months of not paying you, we might decide to pay you. Lucky you.”

Then don’t list it as a full time job???? from recruitinghell

Let’s start with those, shall we?

What’s the worst job application experience you’ve had lately?

Tweets That Both Cat People AND Dog People Can Enjoy

When people ask me whether I’m a cat person or a dog person, I say “yes.”

Though I will admit that if I’m going to get one as a pet, it’s more likely to be a cat. I kinda dig their self-sufficiency. They’re got their own projects going on and I can respect that.

In any case, they’re all adorable and wonderful, and these tweets are for anyone and everyone who loves either one.

15. A dumb person

Oh man, sick burn.

14. A lesson in consent

Two pats and that’s ALL.

13. A people person

I had to think about this for a moment but I’m pretty sure it’s correct.

12. An orange one

Hey, that’s a proud heritage.

11. Thems fightin’ words

Don’t wanna go barking up the wrong tree.

10. The hero we need

His heart is in the right place and that’s what counts.

9. Orange strikes back

See? PROUD. HERITAGE.

8. Reject the binary

The abyss they stare into is the haunted zone.

7. Read it again

And again and again.

6. The price you pay

Please rescue, don’t pay breeders.

5. Boundaries

Step back or get the scratch.

4. Spoil the broth

Come on, give ’em a chance.

3. Acceptance

There’s really no denying it.

2. A true bond

Humanity had its chance.

1. Real recognizes real

He’s like two steps away from paying the rent.

Whether you love cats or dogs, you can rest assured you’re a better person than those who love neither.

Which is your favorite and why?

Verbal Quirks That Are Uniquely Boomer

Social media is a great place to go if you want to feel horrible about yourself.

For instance, if you happen to belong to the generation known as “baby boomer,” you can watch your entire existence get reduced a dismissive catchphrase.

But there is SOME hope. For whatever reason, Twitter seems to be cataloguing a lot of boomer favorites in the language department, and maybe that, if nothing else, will help us all heal.

12. The moving picture show

Hold on, just gotta crank it for a minute or so.

11. Encouraging words

I’ve been told this by older folks even when it is very clearly untrue and honestly, I appreciate it.

10. Cut to the chase

I have a friend who’s like 29 and does this all. The. Time.

9. Definite article

I was just reading about it the other day on the Facebooks.

8. Mutually assured destruction

Gotta remember they grew up hiding under their desks from bombs.

7. Think differently

Is it aware of us? Does it KNOW?!

6. The good stuff

Don’t care how you say it, just remember to bring me some.

5. The million dollar question

Alright but that had better be a big tip. (It’s not gonna be.)

4. Do it to it

They got places to be, don’t stand in their way.

3. Dinner is served

Um, because that’s clearly hilarious.

2. Stir the pot

I prefer the Devil’s Lettuce.

1. More money

Seriously, they want to be rich.

I think we need to hold onto these phrases. Treasure them. Pass them on to future generations so that they can continue to be enjoyed by all.

What phrase do you think is unique to your generation?

These People All Somehow Failed At Their Jobs

I’ve had a lot of jobs over the years. Some long term, some short. All sorts of disciplines and areas of expertise, or a complete lack thereof.

But whatever I do, I strive for excellence. I just wanna do it right, if only to prove that I can. I think most of us feel this way, which is why it can be so jarring to watch someone with a single job to do completely biff it somehow.

That’s the entire gist behind r/OneJob, where we collectively memorialize the job that was supposed to be done, and the thing that now stands in its place.

10. PlayBox

Meanwhile Nintendo doesn’t even have a seat at the table.

9. In memory

Whoa whoa spoilers, I haven’t even seen three through ten yet.

8. Reduce, reuse, recycle

The most vital step toward a more sustainable future is clear communication.

7. In case of emergency

I feel like this is the beginning of a Saw movie and it’s just Jigsaw taunting everybody.

6. The key

What if I don’t wanna be fri? You can’t tell me what to do.

5. Sly like a fox

He’s in disguise. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

4. New paint job

Can we like coordinate on our stencils or whatever?

3. You put the lime in the box, you nut

And shake it all up.

2. The Liren Kring

Scar! Brother! Save me!

1. Cheese on the side

Lactose intolerant people be like.

Here’s hoping they all found jobs they could do a little bit better.

Have you ever failed big at your one job?

14. It’s a new way of cutting pizza

Winner gets the little piece in the middle.

Image credit: r/NotMyJob via Pleated Jeans

15. Do you want light, or do you want safety?

You obviously can’t have both.

The point is, we all have bad days. I’ve certainly had my fair share of doozies.

People Admit the Reasons Why They’re Single

Being married is wonderful and all, but as my happily single friends are quick to point out, remaining single can have its merits too.

A lot of the time, singletons seem to get a bad rap, as society sits around waiting for them to follow the socially expected path of getting married, having children, the end.

Comedian Jimmy Fallon recently leaned into this trope of teasing single folks, when he tweeted:

Fallon started off the game, by tweeting about a friend of his who was single.

Frankly, I don’t see anything to make fun of. We should all be more like Kevin.

Some people did see a little humor in the question, sharing their little idiosyncrasies that they were fine with, but that might discourage a long-term relationship.

Like secret and not-so-secret obsessions:

Be they real people or simply characters:

Sometimes your foibles are things you can help, and sometimes not.

There was also the weighted blanket crowd, which… yeah. Waited blankets are amazing.

A number of people seemed to agree with this person’s food habits, so maybe he just needs to find a partner on Twitter.

And this one, for me, raised so many questions:

Are they single because they couldn’t find a partner who could tolerate the 3AM parties?

Or are they single because they don’t want anyone to be bothered by their 3AM parties?

The world may never know ?

Some people made jokes about online dating apps:

Even companies like Kraft got in on the joke:

Other users got all too real.

There was this person, who honestly just really loves their dogs:

Apparently it’s not uncommon for pets to come between partners:

Pretty typically, the cat lady got a few laughs.

Why is it acceptable to talk to your dog, but strange to talk to your cat?

And this person, who has political priorities, can’t be bothered:

But a number of the responses showed that young people today aren’t really buying it anymore.

It’s not funny or a flaw, it’s just a fact.

Knowing what will make you happy is a good thing.

Not having to share can also be a bonus.

Honestly, some people choose to be single and some people don’t, but for the most part you just are until you aren’t, whether you’re looking or trying too hard or not.

Did we leave out any good ones? Tell us in the comments.
