When you’re in a tight spot, either trapped somewhere due to an unfavorable situation or you’re wanting something with no plan on how to get it, who do you turn to? Do you have a particularly clever friend who comes up with the smartest ideas for every scenario?
This list honors those friends, the wildly clever people who are working on another level.
RELATED STORIES
“This restaurant figured out that face masks fit in the napkin dispenser.”
This is so pleasing to look at, and looks much better than trying to wrestle one out of the bottom of a cardboard box.
People got nitpicky about the cleanliness of this option, but is it not enough for it to simply look nice?
Sleeping soundly.
“Never thought I would find a legitimate use for the fake practice hand I had from cosmetology school years ago until the day my infant son got sick and refused to sleep unless he was holding my finger,” wrote the person who uploaded this photo.
“I hate signing yearbooks for students, so I had a rubber stamp made.”
Makes your job easier, makes all your students feel special, and is very funny in a meta sense! This is a stamp with layers, and I appreciate that.
Not to mention your past students can resell their old yearbook as an exclusive signed by Mr. Your-name-here edition.
“I went to see *The Addams Family 2* and the guy in front of me is eating a whole sweet potato pie.”
This is respectable, actually. They know what they like and are committing to it. Not only that, but a soft pie is a lot quieter than a bag or popcorn or candy, and probably a lot cleaner too!
“My grandma didn’t want anyone blowing out candles on the cake because of covid so she made a birthday banana.”
Nothing like a birthday banana to really liven everyone’s spirits! A healthy alternative to that dastardly cake we’re conditioned to have.
Really, though, it’s a good way to keep the candle tradition alive without the germs. Plus, no more fear of dripping wax on icing!
“My lyft today. He also has puke bags in pocket just in case.”
Driving for a rideshare is already often a side-hustle for a lot of people, so why not a side-side hustle? Makes for a unique ride, and who can turn down a snack for a dollar? Or a shot for four?
“At a local holistic healing store.”
Threatening someone with bad vibes would genuinely be pretty effective these days. Being arrested or fined is one thing, but bad energy can screw up every area of your life, it’s not worth the gamble!
Also, stealing from small businesses especially is always bad.
“Mia Wallace candle holder that bleeds out of her nose.”
This is really cool! A pretty timeless reference with a novelty that won’t wear off. Sure it’s a little unsettling to have a bust of a bleeding woman on your table, but it sure will impress all your film bro friends!
“My dad made a ginger bread millennium falcon.”
Oh, cool, I’m just over here with a regular ol’ gingerbread house whose walls couldn’t stay up so now it’s a sad pile of cookie pieces, but really, I’m glad your dad decided to show us all up with his mastery in cookie construction.
“Spotted my Dad on Google maps. Couldn’t resist…”
After seeing that first pic, who out there could resist the urge to turn one’s own father into the latest cryptid craze?
Do you think he could get a following like bigfoot has? Will people hike out into the wilderness to find him and call themselves Daryl hunters?
“Now when people ask to borrow my chainsaw they won’t leave empty handed.”
Not only is it a great visual gag, but it also has the potential to be a weapon, so those who are angered by your top tier comedy can just start swinging and get back at you. Then they can steal your actual chainsaw.
“My mother in law’s ‘new’ couch has a phone in it…”
The uploader went on to say that this couch also has massagers in it, and now I think it’s the greatest couch I’ve ever seen. Sure, they’re outdated, but what can modern couches offer me that this one doesn’t? It has a phone!
“[…] holy [expletive] this rules.”
And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously license plates?
Catching a reference like this in public is always fun. Especially when you see them at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely upon someone else’s car.
“A swing so a baby and caregiver can swing together.”
It’s about time that the caregivers got to have a bit of fun, too! The joy of playing at a park should not be lost with age. If anything, it should be reignited when people grow up and have kids of their own. Swing away!
“The Wreath of Khan.”
There’s something about holiday decoration puns that really hit different. The blending of so many elements, the simple execution, the way they never seem to get old, it’s a timeless form of comedy that people continue to innovate every year.
“I don’t care if you don’t like my A-wreath-a Franklin, I’m just asking for a little respect.”
Case in point! Between these two photos, you have all the evidence you need that wreath-based puns are among the best and purest in the nation, and we all ought to put a little more r-e-s-p-e-c-t on their names.
“Our new washing machine has a programme for Lego(s).”
Before you come at me for what I’m about to say, please note that I’ve never had kids and did not play with Lego when I was the kid. Alright, here it goes, I never even considered that you might need to wash Lego bricks, let alone have a whole washing machine program dedicated to them.
“Airdropping a fake cancellation to get a better spot.”
Now, this is evil. You know at least one person at a festival of thousands will fall for this and leave. Will it be worth the slightly better spot? Knowing you made someone walk out of a festival they paid to be at? It’s genius, sure, but evil.
“[This] this cafe describes still and sparkling water.”
This is a cute little graphic, but do they realize this makes it look like they sell poison that will kill you on one side, and either a heart-rate accelerant or some sort of revival potion on the other? Far cries from different types of water.
“My school had anything but a backpack day.”
Something about the thought of driving an RC car around with all your supplies sounds extremely cool. It’s like having a chauffeur, but instead of being driven around, your things are, and the chauffeur has actually been you the whole time.
