Memes for Everyone Who Needs a Break from Raising and Parenting Boys

When I was a kid, I was at the house of a couple of my best friends and we had a great idea.

There was this long, fairly steep staircase that went from the kitchen to the basement, see, and also, there was a sled in the garage.

Inpatient for the snows of winter, we grabbed the sled and started taking turns riding it down the stairs and crashing into makeshift piles of pillows to prevent us from hitting the concrete wall.

When discovered and told to stop immediately, I protested, as I hadn’t had enough turns.

Raising boys is wild. Here are some memes to prove it.

Public School Experiences That Are Strangely Universal

The public school experience: there’s really nothing like it, thank God. But we all remember it. Or most of us do, anyway, and if you spend a little time online, you’ll probably find that your memories don’t differ significantly from those of everybody else.

The true high school journey was nothing like The Disney Channel promised us it would be. The real journey was…well, it was this stuff.

13. Down and dirty

I can smell this photo and I really don’t want to.

Legends would form around its origins. Cults would be gathered. Civilizations built.

11. Getting it handled

Back in my day you didn’t even have social media to save you, you just died in there.

These Tweets are Snapshots of What Parenting is Really Like

I have absolutely no clue what it’s like to be a parent. Based on my experiences with my nieces, it seems to be mostly blur of screaming and yelling at small people telling them not to scream so much.

Which, don’t get me wrong, sounds amazing, but I think I’m good for now.

At the moment I’d prefer to just read these tweets about parenting rather than jump into the gene pool myself.

10. Get ‘er done

He’s ready for a life of labor far too soon.

9. Selective listening

This is why everybody needs a little distance.

8. Sleep sweet

This is the most effective alarm clock I can imagine.

7. Sweet bliss

Plus maybe you got some fun drugs afterwards?

6. The routine

Bedtime is when kids suddenly realize they have a long list of errands to run.

5. Catherine Obvious

If it’s not obvious to you now, it will be soon enough.

4. Important life lessons

I was homeschooled and yup, this is it.

3. I’ve created a monster

They must know their place, now and forever more.

2. Letting sleeping dogs lie

It’s really best for everyone’s health.

1. That’s the joke

What is this sleep everyone keeps talking about and do you guys sell it in bulk perchance?

So, yeah, nothing in there is making me super excited about the idea of having kid of my own, but, heck, maybe someday. In a year or a century or whatever.

Do you have kids? What’s it really like?

Hit me with the full scoop in the comments, if you would.

Enjoy Some of the Weirdest Wedding Photos Ever to Grace the Internet

I’ve done quite a bit of video production work in the past, and some of that has been creating wedding videos.

When my associates and I would take those projects, we really went above and beyond to stitch together something memorable for the clients. We took special care to customize and ensure a high quality of product.

And you know what? It was a huge waste of time.

Because nobody. Ever. Watches. Their. Wedding video.

For weddings, pictures are still where it’s at. The photos are the things that get revisited, and that last. For better, or, as these Reddit posts demonstrate, for worse.

15. The fund

I’m not even involved in this relationship and I feel the need to run away from it.

Pretty trashy for a wedding from trashy

14. Game is life

I’m gonna say…divorced within a year.

Sometimes I truly understand the criticism that my generation refused to grow up.

12. Concern intensified

This is some serial killer stuff.

11. Recreation

But which is which?

10. This bud’s for you

It would ironically be classier AND less expensive to just have a plain colored cake.

My cousins wedding cake… from trashy

9. Then there’s this

I love the fine art disguises.

I’m all for people who go for low-budget weddings, but then there’s this…. from weddingshaming

8. Nope

This is the one big rule of weddings – why do so many people break it?

Thought this was the bride and groom at first – nope. Father and stepmother of the bride, wearing a white-ish, beaded gown with a train. from weddingshaming

7. Drink up

Apparently this is a common thing?

Did Bud Light sponsor the wedding? from trashy

6. Do the math

My favorite part of this is that they made it even crazier with “14 + 2 adults” and “3 + 1 kids” instead of, yanno, “16” and “4.”

5. Well, fair

I have no idea how to feel about this.

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.

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!’”

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

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

I see what you did there.

Autocorrect? from weddingshaming

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.

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?

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?
