16+ People Who Took Pride In The Weirdest Things

While there’s no one secret to feeling as though you’ve lived a fulfilling life, it certainly helps when you can look back on what you’ve achieved with some fondness and pride.

The best part is that what you actually accomplished can take a kind of backseat in that thought process. Not everything has to be about helping rockets safely make it to space or finding a cure for a disease, after all. As long as it gave you a sense of satisfaction at the time and continues to now, that’s the important part.

And just to illustrate how serious I am about this, just take a look at how proud these folks seem to be about accomplishments that many of us straight-up wouldn’t understand.

I’m not sure how effective it would be in a real situation, but someone definitely seemed to be going for an armored Mad Max-mobile here.

Reddit | jointsolitude

It’s hard to tell whether that dust is supposed to be part of the armor or just supposed to add to the post-apocalyptic aesthetic, though.

Still, that is definitely a foot locker on the back, so they’ve got that going for them.

This sign may be a little silly, but making it also takes the kind of expertise that can only come from years of experience.

Image credit: Reddit | carlinha1289
Reddit | carlinha1289

I’m not sure what I’m more impressed by, the fact that they were actually able to find a way to write these sound effects out or the fact that they know how big of a job each sound involves.

They always say that the best art provokes an extreme reaction, so I guess whoever made this achieved something here.

Image credit: Reddit | littleblackcat
Reddit | littleblackcat

At least, that’s the impression I get from the fact that the uploader described this figure as a “vaguely lewd monstrosity.”

I’m surprised she was even able to read as much as “vaguely lewd” into whatever is going on here.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference in our days.

Reddit

After all, I’m not going to pretend that I wouldn’t be happy to discover that I’d made a log that perfectly flips me off.

Not only is it a surprisingly rewarding way to cap off a long period of hard work like that, but it really captures what it’s like to chop all this wood.

I don’t know who asked him to do this, but this guy can now say he dressed a raccoon in pajamas.

Image credit: Reddit | dokaxi
Reddit | dokaxi

It doesn’t seem like it would be worth the rabies risk from the bites and scratches the likely unwilling creature had in store.

Nonetheless, even pointless challenges can feel oddly rewarding if you actually manage to overcome them.

Once again, I’m afraid I don’t have the context for why someone wanted to carve their rendering of a womb into a watermelon.

Image credit: Reddit | stea_v
Reddit | stea_v

That said, I can’t say they did a bad job and the fact that I can recognize what this is supposed to be is impressive in and of itself.

Fortunately, this isn’t the work of some disturbingly dedicated solicitor.

Image credit: Reddit | No1YouKnow42
Reddit | No1YouKnow42

Instead, it seems that the uploader’s coworker has been getting these calls too and decided to leave a little prank in the school attic they were both working on.

It’s impossible to escape.

No, Daniel Radcliffe didn’t mysteriously show up at somebody’s door. This is just what someone on campus likes doing with their time.

Apparently, she keeps moving this Harry Potter cut-out around just to ensure it can keep startling people.

As someone who jumps every time the Will Smith and Jennifer Aniston cutouts in my office get moved around, I’m very glad I don’t share a floor with this person.

This guy has apparently become locally known for dressing up as Darth Vader and dancing to music blaring from those speakers.

Image credit: Reddit | agt91
Reddit | agt91

As fun as all of that sounds, however, he’s actually severely hated by locals because his music is considered obnoxious and he apparently cops a bad attitude when people try to get him to stop.

He’s reputed to smell terrible, too. Still, he’s a persistent fellow to be sure.

As weird as this may be, it’s undeniable that whoever made it has an impressive eye for detail.

Reddit | mk6jettadude

Not only are there little squirrel and acorn accessories everywhere, but that is proper stained glass in this bizarre taxidermy diorama. Not only that, but it’s next to a speaker system that emits little squeaks and chirps.

And it turns out that this is just a decorative piece for a flea market in Bally, Pennsylvania. Why not, huh?

Well, whoever puts their name on this can certainly say they’re a culinary visionary, but at what cost?

Image credit: Reddit | Awesactus
Reddit | Awesactus

I’m not big at seafood at the best of times, but that’s especially true when it’s congealed and compressed into this weird bar.

Still, the person responsible for this monstrosity has more inventions to their name than I do.

While I’m not sure how that chowder bar maker feels about their creation, we can at least say that this man’s mission is to create “unnecessary product ideas.”

Image credit: Reddit | rightcoastguy
Reddit | rightcoastguy

And considering that most people tend to like their chopsticks without creepy doll hands, I’d say this creation fits that bill very well.

That said, if this is easier to use than chopsticks, I might overlook how unsettling they look because watching me try to use the normal ones is just a sad scene.

Sometimes, it’s not the concept that makes people feel proud of what they did, but the details.

Image credit: Reddit | PopsicleJohnson
Reddit | PopsicleJohnson

For instance, someone put enough care into this odd mouth sink that they actually made sure to include all 32 teeth that the average person has.

There’s just something precious about that.

I can only see this as dreadfully inconvenient for everyone else, but I’ll also admit that I couldn’t do this without making a mess.

Image credit: Reddit | Volsadite
Reddit | Volsadite

Instead, it seems that this unfortunate fate will be reserved for whoever gets stuck trying to pick these glasses up.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

I don’t know about y’all, but this just makes realize how tall car antennae really are.

Not that I ever had the inclination, but I wouldn’t have guessed that you could fit seven hot dogs on one of these.

I think we can all benefit from this information.

Based on the lyric reference and the mutated possum, I’m guessing this tattoo was influenced by Fallout 76.

Reddit | Strozzie

And so, we have laid our eyes on something I never dreamed of seeing: Someone who somehow liked that disappointing, buggy mess enough to get a tattoo of it.

I can only admire their patience.

Looking through this couple’s photos makes it clear that they make a point to not smile in pictures.

Image credit: Reddit | DrugLP
Reddit | DrugLP

No matter how much fun they’re having, the game plan is to look either cartoonishly grumpy or completely emotionless.

They’re pretty good at committing to the bit, but the guy couldn’t contain his excitement when he proposed and she said yes. Aww.

Somebody clearly put a lot of thought and ambition into this tattoo, but that doesn’t make it any less confusing.

Image credit: Reddit | KrissiKross

I suppose that the cat quadruplets can be considered a…we’ll say passionate way to express that this person’s cats are their fur babies, but your guess is as good as mine as to what’s going on with the bananas.

Or why they have paws, for that matter.

It seems that a couple of people took pride in what they did here, but for very different reasons.

Image credit: Reddit | Golf3putt
Reddit | Golf3putt

As we can see, one was trying to persuade us all to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle, while the other obviously had a sly smile on their face at the time.

Although I guess you could call the second one a protest as well, just against dry rubs.

Whether they’re proud of this or not, someone can definitely be described as stubborn for how they use this mug.

Image credit: Reddit | Forphucsake
Reddit | Forphucsake

It’s not unusual for people to stick to their own signature mug, but most people also tend to wash theirs.

I guess they were seeking a richer flavor here? I’m not sure it’s worth it, frankly.

If this person isn’t a virologist, I’m out of ideas as to why they decorated their car this way.

Image credit: Reddit | Hurtubeast
Reddit | Hurtubeast

But what we do know is that flu viruses have been on their mind enough that they couldn’t stop at repainting their car with them.

Nope, they also needed a giant model on the roof. I’m sure they’d still be proud of this even if it didn’t make a marauding giant sick, but we’d catch one hell of an “I told you so” if it did.

Sure, whoever did this could have put all this energy into actually catching the mouse, but good luck telling them this wasn’t more important.

Image credit: Reddit | TheGamingTurtle_BoG
Reddit | TheGamingTurtle_BoG

For some reason, what I’m most curious about is whether this person voted for the option they were most proud of or remained impartial because they loved all their puns equally.

Nerdy overthinking like this is why I have trouble sleeping at night.

It may be pretty hard for us to understand why someone decided their chair wasn’t properly designed without a plush pig ouroboros, but at least it didn’t go unappreciated.

Image credit: Reddit | Kdial2002
Reddit | Kdial2002

And sure, I’ll have to admit that these are pretty well-done pigs.

I’m tempted to say that kind of misses the bizarre forest for the pretty trees, but I won’t try to take the quality of the pigs away from them.

What this woman has done here is actually more oddly impressive than it appears at first glance.

Image credit: Reddit | unoiamaQT
Reddit | unoiamaQT

I initially thought she had just put on a furry mask, but she actually twisted her hair to cover her face as perfectly as a mask would’ve.

Why? I don’t know, but the execution is certainly there.

Look, I’m not even sure I want to know what’s going on in this picture.

Image credit: Reddit | Superkiller862
Reddit | Superkiller862

I was going to say, “At least they seem happy about it,” but those happy Lego heads are just putting that thought in my head. It seems that some effort went into whatever is going on here, though.

Considering how weird this is, it would actually be kind of funny if these two were just bored under these masks.

While it’s great to see how deeply this guy trusts his friends, everything about this is a giant “NOPE” for me.

Image credit: Reddit | ApeCommando
Reddit | ApeCommando

Besides, no matter how passionate his friends might be about his well-being, there’s absolutely no guarantee that this will matter to that board this guy is standing on.

Congratulations, please never do this again!

It may be tradition to toss your mortarboard in the air when you graduate, but somebody took it a step further.

Reddit | Prized

Considering how much debt they likely went through to get that diploma, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them chasing it down afterwards.

This certainly seems like a bizarre awards ceremony, which is fitting because it happened for a bizarre reason.

Image credit: Reddit | deekaph
Reddit | deekaph

This young man apparently has a history of getting sent to his school’s guidance counselor, but this time, it was because of some “disturbing drawings.”

Unfortunately, we apparently can’t see them, but they were actually commissions for a horror podcast. So his dad apparently thought the situation was ridiculous enough to dress up in this slip and bear mask to present him with an award commemorating “years of distressing guidance counselors.”

You know, I get an odd feeling that this kid is gonna be all right.
