Sometimes you just want to do your thing, whether it’s a quick fix or something more in-depth, without everybody stopping to take notice .
We get it, we really do. But that doesn’t mean that everybody is so lucky that they can just skate by without everybody noticing. And once you do notice, there’s no looking away.
“Average Golden Corral parking lot.”
The number one rule of van life, probably, is to have a van that’s tall enough to stand in. And number two, apparently, is to have A/C hooked up to your bumper genny. This might not be pretty, but it gets the job done.
“Spotted this homemade door latch repair job at Cracker Barrel. Don’t ask me what the driver does if someone shuts the deadbolt after he gets in.”
This only makes sense if the door can’t latch by itself anymore. Of course, the driver can just roll down the window if they get locked in, but it’s not much better for keeping people out, either.
“Home alone – no help to replace the bottom washer.”
Have you ever undertaken a two-person project by yourself, then found yourself far too deep into it to change course? Yeah, me neither.
“I think this qualifies?”
I actually kind of like this aesthetic. Whether it functions as a (very shallow) hot tub is another question for another day.
“All the drinking glasses in this restaurant are slanted.”
This makes for a unique look, but I’m not sure that’s worth it when everyone will be freaking out about their glass falling over.
“This bathroom trash can opens to the other stall.”
Is this a bug or a feature? Maybe it’s a peek-a-boo hatch, designed to facilitate engagement with other people in other stalls.
“Ordered alcohol for a gathering tonight and the grocery store delivered them with the security tags still locked on.”
At this point, it’s time to either call the delivery service or get busy with the smashing. I’d go the smashy-smashy route.
“Roommate’s rice cooker has turned into brain-like tissue. He refuses to clean it, and leaves it on the shared kitchen counter.”
Rice cookers are super useful appliances to have. I always thought they were easy to clean, too. Guess I was wrong.
“Yoga mat is unintentionally pessimistic…”
Imagine going to yoga, unrolling your mat and seeing this message. It might be enough to make you roll it right back up and go home.
“Me, my sister, and my brother went to McDonald’s. They forgot everything on her burger.”
Nobody expects perfection from a fast food restaurant, but getting a burger on your bun doesn’t seem like a big ask.
“They pay me to paint, not to move the gravel…”
It’s true that they don’t pay the painter to remove the gravel. I just love how passive-aggressive it is to paint the gravel itself.
“Milk that never expires.”
This is either a magical product that will never, ever expire, or someone down at the bottling plant goofed up. Probably best to play it safe here.
“It makes me wanna go oof.”
Do you set the switch to OOF or NO? It’s a tough question for sure. I might just leave it alone entirely.
“Ah yes, the square cutter pizza.”
You always hear so much about how food is prepped to look its best in ads and photo spreads, then you see something like this.
“Installed the theft protection.”
When you’re installing devices without any thought as to their utility, you wind up with hilarious situations like this.
RELATED STORIES
“How they spend $407K from our taxes.”
Perhaps this was intentionally done. When bikers are done with the easy straight stretches of path, they have the option of going here and engaging Hard Mode.
“Shouldn’t they have cut the top of the door so the knob wasn’t so low?”
I love how this door was clearly lopped off at the bottom. You might get used to the low knob, but not to the uneven bottom.
“They have a sticker with camera surveillance. But it’s not plugged in.”
I get that decoy security cameras are a thing, but maybe they should have attempted to put the plug somewhere else.
“Do you see this in other places in America or is it a Phoenix only thing?”
Having spent a lot of time in Phoenix, I can confirm that this is something I’ve only ever seen in the Valley of the Sun.
“They will never know the difference.”
One of these things is certainly not like the others, but which is it? We may never know. Perfect execution, no notes.
