24 People Who Prove There's A Fine Line Between Genius And Not

Sometimes, it's interesting to see how people go about living their lives when they refuse to keep things "inside the box," so to speak. Other times, it's frustrating to see people making things so hard for themselves when they could just, y'know, not.

But the one unifying thing that's keeping all of the people in this list together is that they're all trying.

I feel like I'm being gaslit by this store.

Either somebody forgot to change the sign or (more than likely) somebody is a huge fan of chocolate milk, and they're trying to make sure that nobody else gets any before they have a chance to come back.

When you're on a budget, but you understand that presentation really is everything.

You start off with Alpha-getti instead of SpaghettiOs, just to make sure that everyone knows you can read. Then, just throw garnish on it until you feel better about yourself.

You'll never have to remember to bring your keys with you anywhere with this simple lifehack.

Sure, it hurts like the dickens to actually unlock a stubborn lock, but it's worth it to not have that constant jingle in your pockets.

It's something of a brave move to follow instructions so maliciously and yet, here we are.

Also, once again, I'm impressed by the handwriting on this answer. That's probably got a lot more to do with my feelings about my own handwriting than anything else and yet, here we are.

This is just honestly a terrific idea.

A lot of the things on this list have been included for sarcastic reasons, but are you telling me you'd be able to open up your wallet and disappoint Terry Crews? I don't think so.

They see me rollin'...or maybe it's more like "they roll me seein'."

Listen, I get what you're doing here and I see why it happened, but I really, really just hate it.

Sometimes when you spend $50 on a piece of commissioned art, you end up with a piece of work worth $50.

Honestly, even considering the giant-headed result, $50 was still a great bargain.

Sometimes, it's really hard to tell when someone's being funny and when someone's being dumb.

Feel free to use me as the barometer for that. If it's funnier than the things I write, it's funny. If it's not, it's dumb.

Now, it's important to be able to defend yourself from all angles, but you especially have to remember to defend yourself when you're the one teaching the class.

I know, we're getting into layers of thought here, but that's what karate is all about.

The worst part about all this is that now, I think I really want to try this — just to know what it feels like.

If I show up tomorrow with my gums all bloody, you'll know exactly what happened.

One of the most important things you can do on Tinder is to stand out, but I'm really not sure if this is the right way to do it.

What do I know, though?

On the one hand, if all you're doing is driving it across the parking lot, you're a genius. On the other hand, the second you take this on the road, you're going to end up criminally liable for all the damage you cause.

We love dogs for their loyalty, not necessarily for their intelligence.

To be fair, it's not like dogs evolved needing to be able to distinguish when food was or wasn't falling onto a transparent table. Frankly, it'd be weird if they did.

If you gave me four hours and a group of friends to try and figure out what this sign was supposed to say, I'd still be coming up empty.

The best interpretation I've read so far comes from Reddit user Ed395 who suggests it says:

"He loves Her

She loves Him

We love Us

Shiva loves You

Have love

One love

Share love."

Because, duh!

When you're training in special tactics, you have to be prepared for any situation. And we mean any situation.

If you're face-to-face with a pantless attacker, everyone knows the best thing to do is to strip down to your skivvies to make them more comfortable.

This whole ladder situation ended up pretty roof.

My favorite part is the little dance he does at the end after applauding his own failure. When you know, you know, y'know?

Apparently, the internet was filled with lots of washing machine-related content today. So, here ya go!

Now, the cynical part of me wants to call shenanigans on this, but I also really love the idea of some rogue dude going around and only washing his clothes via Kijiji.

Because you can't spell "funeral" without the word "fun."

You also can't spell it without the same letters as "frenula," but it's hard to make that as fun as a wacky inflatable tube person.

It's not flying, it's just falling with style.

And by "style," I mean a tremendous amount of friction burn on your back after grinding so hard and so fast against that bitey, bitey grass.

You laugh, but I haven't had to pay for dishes for years since I discovered this hack.

I'm also not allowed in most restaurants that serve food on plates anymore, so there has been a bit of a downside.

You know that terrific feeling you get from popping bubble wrap? Now, you can take it with you all the time!

Plus, you get the extra benefit of annoying anyone within earshot.

This one needs a bit of explaining, but it's amazing.

According to the person who posted it, this was meant to be the engineering building at a school, but it had to be abandoned because it was too unsafe to use. Just sit on that irony for a while.

Tired of all those feathers poking out of your duvet? Set them all free by tossing them in the wash!

This honestly looks like they just tossed the whole cast of Chicken Run into the machine. RIP chicken voiced by Mel Gibson whose name I forget.

That'll fix the problem, to be sure.

I'm sure that someone who's willing to park like that is sure to be swayed by a not very sternly-worded sticky note. That being said, that handwriting is pretty legit, so maybe the wayward parker will actually take it to heart.
