20 People Who Were Visited By The Hilarity Fairy

To be naturally gifted with a given talent is a blessing known by few across the globe. Most people have to practice the skills they want to get better at, while others cruise along with expert-level knowledge right off the bat.

That can even apply to comedy, as there are those who are seemingly gifted by the funny gods with their ability to make hard-hitting jokes. This list is for them.

"Can you all confirm for my wife I'm not dumb and it could have happened to anyone?"

You all have no idea how long I stared at this trying to find what was so wrong with them, but when I spotted it, I almost couldn't believe it.

To put it short, yes, consider it confirmed that this could have happened to anyone.

"It appears not all Christmas [décor] is held to the same standard. Bosses didn’t like my work…"

Hey, you put lights up! That's a lot more than most people can say!

Beggars can't be choosers, if they wanted you to get in the holiday spirit and decorate, they don't get to criticize you for expressing yourself through lights.

"A memorial for the squirrel that ate through a wire that canceled classes for two days. It was paid for by the undergrad class."

Such a hero deserves nothing less. Hopefully, students do the honorable thing and salute him as they walk past, thanking him for his service and remembering the sacrifice squirrels everywhere make on behalf of those still in school.

"My mom ordered some nutcrackers online not realizing how big they were..."

Now, the person who uploaded this did also include a purchase link, where it was revealed that this nutcracker cost $400. Your mom looked at a $400 nutcracker and thought it wasn't going to be absolutely gigantic?

It also said 8' right in the listing title, so.

"My 5 year old's homework is kinda dark."

What else did you expect when he picked 'intro to horror writing' as his first elective? They tackle some pretty heavy subjects in that class, but for those passionate about the genre, it's a must-take and provides some invaluable tips.

"I found this in my neighborhood."

I was going to have myself a little laugh at the thought of what an aggressive goldfish might look like, but I'm holding my tongue. I've never seen an aggressive goldfish, maybe they go wild, maybe they get vicious. Who am I to judge a book by its cover?

"[This] says a lot about the [Pokémon] fan base."

And what it says is that there certainly is a Pokémon fan base that exists!

There could be any Pokémon in the world in that fan-ball and we would have no idea. Sometimes, when the fan is running, you can hear its cries from inside, longing for battle.

"I’m not sure if I should feel threatened or reassured by my fortune cookie…"

It could definitely be read both ways. It's threatening but calming. Like, yes, your life will be coming to an end very soon, but it's your time, your friends and family will mourn accordingly but not too much. All will be well.

"Got my elderly dog (yes he is in a diaper) a new dog bed."

Did you put him here as punishment? You just said he's elderly, he has old aching bones and joints, so you stuck him in the middle of a bed that may as well be a mountain he needs to climb out of?

Sharing memories.

This image was explained by the original poster as such, "Today I received in the mail a letter from my mom. It was a photocopy of her phone-she wanted to share a picture that is on her phone with me. A picture that is on her phone. She photocopied her phone and mailed this to me."

"Solution to the US worker shortage?"

Dogs are great workers with varied employment backgrounds, and many are always happy to see a human, meaning they'll be positive with every customer.

Downsides? Frequent bathroom breaks, easily distracted, and all it takes is one thief coming in with a tennis ball for the register to be completely unmanned!

"Next time someone rides my ass they're getting this through their windshield."

While that's probably not exactly how Coca-Cola was imagining people would go about this, it is still sharing, technically, so you can't say you didn't follow the instructions!

Also, the person tailgating gets something out of it, too. Sure their windshield is destroyed, but hey, a coke!

"This may be the most disturbing flyer I’ve ever received."

Oh no. Oh, no. That's not very good at all. Does working at a funeral home maybe put you wildly out of touch with how the general public would perceive things like this? It must, right? Otherwise this never would have been sent out.

"Came into work to find the giant teddy bears partied too hard last night."

That bear in the back definitely thought that taping the two in the front together would be an awesome prank, did it half-heartedly, then took about five steps away before passing out right on the floor.

"[Left] it at the office overnight and found it like this the next morning."

Yeah, that banana is dead and gone. I'm sure some people will disagree and say it's still good, to which I say no, you're wrong, this thing is major-league gross now and should not be touched, let alone peeled and eaten.

"Our cat Elsie popped out for her morning perambulation and returned with a gift for us. She is so thoughtful."

Better something with a practical use than a dead bird! Not to mention they can be pretty pricey, if she can keep this pattern up, she'll be saving you a ton of money throughout the year.

"Someone drove through the front of our local 7 Eleven."

You can almost hear the exhaustion from the person who had to write this sign. The use of "I assure you" sounds so desperate and pleading compared to if they'd just written, "we're still open". They're probably not even supposed to be here today.

"I wonder what's going through the customer's mind LOL."

Forget the customer, what went through the delivery person's mind to leave it like this? Why did they even try to put it in in the first place, surely they didn't think it would actually fit if they tried hard enough? Though, the end result is pretty funny, I'll give them that.

"Bought my 7 year old daughter a bracelet making kit. Found this on the table the next day."

Seeing kids really express themselves is such a blessing. They're so creative, not allowing for any barriers between them and their truest vision. It's also a great way to teach emotional regulation early on, allowing them to get out their feelings via art.

"Screaming is optional."

Screaming, while optional, does help with relieving stress and frustration in regards to the current fork lift "tip over" event, so it is encouraged. Screaming in the moment has proven to lead to fewer fork lift mishaps in the future.
