Let’s face it, life is full of things we don’t want to deal with. And yet, we have to deal with those things, anyway. Basically, life has a way of being unfair .
But that doesn’t mean it can’t also be fun. The people in this list, for instance, decided to just roll with the punches and have a good time against all the odds. What brave, brave souls.

“I’m a middle school teacher. I decided to combine the awkwardness of peer revision and Valentine’s Day into one activity. The kids loved it.”
These are probably the two most awkward things a middle schooler has to deal with and this teacher went and combined them. On the plus side, it looks like all the awkwardness somehow cancelled itself out and became fun, maybe.
“My wife bought some helium balloons for our son’s birthday party.”
See, this is what happens when people pronounce Mario like “Mary-O.” Next thing you know, he just becomes Super Mary. And starts looking like a horrible off-brand version of himself.
On the plus side, the son probably won’t care.
“Asked for some extra sauce.”
Most takeout places give you the tiniest bit of extra sauce when you ask for it. This place gave OP an almost comical amount. At least it’ll be good for leftovers and stuff.
“I got her flowers and she one-upped me.”
This is a truly hilarious, yet somehow heartwarming Valentine’s Day gift. I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people out there who would rather have a bunch of beer than flowers, anyway.
“I think someone at ADOT is trying to flirt with me.”
I’m not gonna lie, this would make me feel really special. Sure, I’d already be wearing my seatbelt, and thousands of other people would also be driving by this sign, but I’d still feel special.
“I couldn’t believe how lucky I was!”
I swear, it’s like some stores don’t realize that their “sales” aren’t sales at all. But hey, at least you can make light of something as deeply annoying and confusing as this.
“It recently occurred to me that you can write anything on these.”
Sure, you could write about the inevitability of death in the request section of your Grubhub order, and then post about it online. Like, no one is going to stop you.
“Gonna surprise the wife with some flours for Valentine’s Day.”
I’m both impressed by the dedication to the pun, and terrified by the reaction that this person’s wife is going to have. I see a lot of really dense bread in their future.
“Made our-dog-shaped pancakes for my wife this morning.”
I mean, it almost looks like the dog to the right of the plate. And it’s going to be eaten, so it basically doesn’t matter.
But can I just say, the dog behind the plate really makes this picture.
“My neighbors have the 12-foot Home Depot Skeleton and keep it up all year, decorating it for every holiday. Here’s their V-Day décor.”
I mean, if you owned a $300+, 12-foot skeleton decoration, would you take it down every November? Probably not. Sometimes, you just have to roll with the punches.
“Best license plate!”
I don’t know what’s more impressive, the fact that they were able to get away with that vanity plate, or the fact that they have a Saturn Ion that still works.
“I hit a bullseye.”
This is what happens when your aim (and ax-throwing ability) is so bad, it actually ends up being kind of good. Because, like, they technically did hit a bullseye. Just not the right one.
“My wife got me an engraved watch band. A little ominous…”
This is the kind of gift a wife gives when she’s planning on outliving her husband. The only question is, does she plan on letting him grow old with her, or is it a bit more sinister than that…
“Who bested who?”
Oysters may be nice for date night, but they’re also dangerous, apparently. Or, maybe this person was just super uncoordinated. Or super unlucky.
“Family photos.”
This is probably the most accurate representation of a family ever. Two parents pretending everything is fine, plus two kids having it out in the background. It’s a tale as old as time.
“This sign by the cafeteria staff trying to appeal to Gen Z and get us to eat fruit or vegetables.”
I’m cringing, but I’m also laughing so hard right now. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. And if you can’t join ’em, let them laugh at something ridiculous you posted in the cafeteria.
“A bouquet of flowers!”
Look, roses are expensive. You know what’s a lot less expensive? Hot peppers. Plus, you get so much more use out of them. Just make sure not to touch your eyes right after holding this bouquet.
“Spooky Valentine’s Day.”
This honestly has it all. A random Halloween decoration in the middle of February. A top tier pun. Okay, it has two things, but those two things are just really great.
“My engineering teacher made this on why ‘dating us nerds’ is a great idea.”
I’m sure the life of an engineer is pretty tough. All that work leaves you with no time to try and find a date. But maybe this hilarious slide will show people why dating engineering nerds is a good idea!
“Shoulder the burden.”
Yeah, those kind of tattoos are pretty out of fashion these days. But at least this person had enough of a sense of humor to make the most of their dated trend.
