Funny Times People Didn’t Realize Who They Were Talking To

Some people have their favorite story about the time they ran into a celebrity. But probably not many of them proudly tell the story of the time they ran their mouth off without realizing who they were talking to and got burned.

When it happens IRL, we have to rely on reports from those who experienced the interaction. When it happens online, the embarrassing message in question usually ends up getting deleted. But sometimes, out of either negligence or a simple acceptance of their fate, they’ll leave their infamy intact for all to see.

Enjoy this gallery of 10 times people had no idea who they were talking to.

12. “You a good skater?”

Tony Hawk is literally the most famous skate boarder in history.

11. “The title hasn’t been announced yet”

Dude apparently didn’t realize he was talking to the official Star Wars Twitter account.

10. “An old white male’s mansplanation.”

Ed Solomon wrote Men in Black (and a bunch of other movies).

9. “You’re pretty good”

Meredith Strömberg is a stand up comedian.

This is apparently the joke in question, btw:

8. “Get bent, Cleese.”

John Cleese is…well, everything he mentions here.

7. “hey cool shirt!”

Mark Hoppus is the bassist/co-lead vocalist for Blink 182.

6. “Here for the conference?”

David Chilton is a finance author.

5. “Stick to feminism”

4. “I came across your music”

I think I'm in with a chance ??!!!

Roommates Who Are Trying Really Hard Right Now

Roommates. You can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em, because you’re way too poor to get your own place, am I right?

A lot of roommates are in a severe love/hate relationship right now, as a complete lack of absence makes the heart grow steadily more annoyed. That “spacious” apartment starts to feel a lot smaller when none of you ever go anywhere else.

The upside is, a lot of it is very funny.

15. The Hunt

If you drink booze on Easter is it Easter Eggnog?

My roommate picked up 2 cases of wine for me yesterday, proceeded to get blackout drunk and think it was Easter. I came home after work to find that he hid all 24 bottles through the apartment and he doesn’t remember where they are. Time for adult Easter egg hunting I guess ??‍♂️??‍♂️ from funny

14. Accidentally pwned

Maybe you should just switch over to playing Sorry.

13. Trash bash

It’s a sign.

Boyfriend’s roommates won’t take the trash out from funny

12. Kitchen trippin’

So apparently all I need to do to make my apartment less gross is get some psychedelics.

11. Business on top

Party on the bottom.

My roommates zoom meeting attire from funny

10. Listful thinking

Make sure you check it twice.

9. Buggin’ out

It’s April, fools.

Made a little paper cutout to give my roommate a good scare. April fools y’all. from funny

8. Distance cake

Whatever you do, for the love of God, don’t blow on it.

My roommate sang happy birthday from the other room after gifting this to me from funny

7. Flip the switch

Has science gone too far?

6. Safety first

I love you, you’re filthy, go clean.

Roommate framed a reminder at the front door from funny

5. Roll with it

Kinda rude to flaunt your wealth like that.

My roommates mom gave us an Easter basket full of toilet paper. from funny

4. iPhone X

I’m sure it’ll be patched soon.

Roommate said he’d fix my phone while I was at work. Thanks mate! from funny

3. Can’t handle it

Absolute classic.

Roommates getting bored during this quarantine. from funny

2. GTFO BF

Have you no standards at all?

1. Realization

Somewhere out there, someone is telling stories about you.

If you’re living with a roommate, cut ’em a little slack right now. No living arrangement is perfect, and we’re all just trying to make it through the day.

Also if my roommate is reading this: DRINK ANOTHER ONE OF MY DIET COKES AND I WILL LITERALLY MURDER YOU, I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP.

What’s your weird roommate story?

Things People Probably Shouldn’t Have Texted to Their Boss

There are pros and cons to living in our connected world. With greater ease of instant communication comes more of a chance that we’re going to accidentally misuse it; like, say, sending your boss a text ABOUT your boss that you MEANT to send to your girlfriend and now you’re not sure if you’re still going to have a job tomorrow. Oops.

I need some kind of app that asks me if I’m ABSOLUTELY SURE I meant to send my message to certain contacts. We all need it.

Here are 13 examples of exactly why we all need it.

12. Can’t handle it

Why would you text this to your boss?

11. Love is love

Clearly someone hasn’t read the handbook on office romance.

10. A reasonable request

Did you mean to say that?

9. Sass

I’m gonna need some popcorn to watch whatever happens after this.

Texts from my boss. #bosstexts

A post shared by Rachel Gonzalez (@roxyholiday) on

8. Sick of your crap

Some details maybe don’t need to be shared with anyone at all.

7. Don’t show weakness

Look we’re all thinking it but don’t say it out loud.

6. Texts from last night

Texting your boss should require a breathalyzer.

5. Self-evaluation

It’s always worse when there are pictures involved.

4. An adorable mess

Who could possibly be offended by this?

3. Happy birthday?

I don’t know who’s in the wrong here but it’s all-around miserable.

2. Party time

Hold on, why does your boss call you “Peewee?”

1. Behind your back

I wouldn’t count on that vacation.

Let this be a cautionary tale to us all. Maybe change your boss’ name in your contacts to just “CAREFUL!”

Have you ever done something like this?

10 Karen Tweets Everyone Will Probably Laugh At

There’s a word I like to use: “nontroversy.” I wish I could attribute it to whomever first coined it, but I can’t remember where I heard it. A nontroversy is a non-controversy, or, if you prefer, a nonsense controversy. My favorite nontroversy in recent memory is whether the “Karen” meme should be considered some kind of slur. You’ll catch think pieces and posts about it that are difficult to parse out; are they serious? Are they joking? Who would actually be upset about this?

To demonstrate the hilarity and thorough harmlessness of the Karen meme, here are some Karen tweets that should make just about anybody laugh, no matter their swoopy hairstyle. Some of them don’t even use the “Karen” as a punchline, but more of a comedic flourish.

10. This is my fight song

9. Every Karen needs a Floyd

8. Supply and demand, Karen

7. I was told there would be yarn

6. You’re losing kitchen privileges

5. More at 11

4. I’d like to bark at your manager

3. A natural disaster

2. Thing cost money!?

1. Such a Leo thing to say

If you don’t want to be seen as a Karen, the first step is probably not taking Karen jokes too seriously.

Which one is your favorite?

Mumbai is Testing Traffic Lights That Stay Red if They Detect Honking

Police in Mumbai, Indian are testing red lights that won’t turn green if drivers are laying on their horns. It’s a perfect solution for a busy city where noise pollution is one of its biggest problems, right?

Photo Credit: Needpix

Last year, Indian authorities conducted a trial with sensors attached to traffic light poles that detected street decibel levels. If noise levels registered more than 85 decibels, the traffic lights were set to delay turning green.

Mumbai’s lights, like other Indian cities, displays a timer on each light so drivers can see when it will change.

Police spokesman, Pranay Ashok, told CNN, the trial started with a run at several major intersections for 15 minutes a day. Police hope to roll the system out to the “entire traffic management system.”

A (hilarious) video posted to Twitter showed the effects of rampant noise pollution. In it, police describe the city as “the honking capital of the world.” Explaining what they call “The Punishing Signal,” they advise that if motorists want to keep moving, they should stop laying on the horn.

According to the TomTom Index, Mumbai has a serious problem with traffic congestion, ranking the fourth worst in the world last year.

The amount of congestion in the city translates to a loss of eight days and 17 hours per year for every driver and passenger.

It will be interesting to see if these monitored traffic lights make a difference. There are so many more pleasurable activities to do with that time than sit in traffic and listen to angry horns.

Don’t you agree?
