It’s not only important to check the size of your pet’s presents in case you’re buying them a tiny climbing frame, but you also need to make sure you’re not buying them a treat that is twice the size of the pet itself!

There’s nothing quite like that sinking feeling when you realize you’ve brought a different dog home from the dog park. Unless it’s a better dog, then you just roll with it.

Yep, I will now not be able to use any shakers on restaurant tables from now on without thoroughly cleaning them. Nice one for adding to my germophobia, guys!
“Special Offer!”
What a steal! When life gives you lemons at a 0% discount, take the deal and make some reasonably-priced lemonade!

Look, it’s not wrong… It’s just not right! That has to count for something, doesn’t it?
“Pilot set off a door alarm, but security needs to come check it out. He’s been covering the siren for 5 minutes.”
What was amazing about this was that the pilot in the picture found this post and commented, “I saw you took a picture of me (you aren’t as stealthy as you think) and the first thing I thought was ‘great I’m on someone’s social media…’ Stupid old DCA terminal has 1 door that’s alarmed from the jetbridge, apparently I wasn’t the first one to set it off.”
“Ghost Baby!”
The person who posted this went on to explain, “last night I was positive there was a ghost baby in the bed with my son. I was so freaked out, I barely slept. I even tried creeping in there with a flashlight while my son was sleeping. Well, this morning I go to investigate a bit further. It turns out my husband just forgot to put the mattress protector on when he changed the sheets.”

Or she paid plenty of attention and has a better sense of humor than you thought. Give her a little credit, she’s got jokes!
“Hello? Is this the shop [that previously worked on this car]? Yeah just wanted to let you know I found your phone.”
I don’t know how bad of a mechanic you have to be to leave a whole home phone in the underbelly of a car, but judging by how mad this poster was, you’ve gotta be pretty bad.
“Can’t tell which way this guy is facing.”
Why have a window view or look at your phone when you could have a lovely flight staring at your headrest and creeping everyone around you out.
