Home Run
It was a solid delivery, but the swing was better. The ball ricocheted off the bat with a satisfying crack. Father stood proud, and watched… as the ball smashed right into his face.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And thus, a legend was born. Father and son embraced – glad to share this parent-child bonding session – before calling first an ambulance and then a camera repairman.
Nosey Wife
Never scroll when there’s a window behind you, you never know who might be watching. Unfortunately, in this case, it was Mrs. Phone Scroller. Even the dog is trying to get involved.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Alas, we’ll never know what the man was looking at, or what became of him. The Legends say he was never seen again, but we heard a rumor that he moved to Utah under the name Ullysses de la Cruz, where he runs a successful fruit store and scrolls in peace every night.
Scoot-astrophe
Oh dear, Junior’s got himself into trouble again. This time, there are no baseballs involved, but there is wet cement. You already know where this is going.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The before and after photos tell an entire story on their own. We don’t need to explain what happened, we’ve all driven a scooter into wet cement before, chaps.
Lake Placid
We’re not talking about the 1999 horror movie featuring Betty White as a farmer lady who feeds a cow to a gigantic, 30ft crocodile. We’re talking about an untroubled surface milliseconds before one of the boys falls in.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And what a capture it is, too. The water’s surface could be the floor, and the guy could just be doing some breakdancing… with an approving audience, too.
Cargooooh No!
Sometimes, disasters unfold seemingly in slow-motion. Like Season 8 of Game of Thrones. This time, it is some pretty heavy cargo tumbling into the depths.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
If there’s any consolation, maybe the containers were empty? They probably weren’t, though. And the photographer must have felt so mean…
The Milk/Glue Conundrum
Sometimes it’s milk. Sometimes it’s glue. Sometimes you don’t know what it is… like Schrodinger’s Milk/Glue. What you must not do in this situation is drink whatever is in that container before knowing what is inside.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Unfortunately, the damage has been done in this case. One poor child took the risk and paid the price. Maybe his mouth got stuck together and he learned his lesson.
Cool Interiors
Having a cool car is great. But the cooler the car gets, the higher the chance that it is filled with snow. So imagine waking up and seeing this…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Yep, that’s what happened here. One unwound window later, and this gentleman is going to have to take a shovel to his car. Hopefully, he remembered to wind his window up next time.
Tomorrow’s Exam
Oh dear. This one speaks for itself. No commentary required. We’ve all had that moment when we realized we missed an important event, and had to smack ourselves on the forehead.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It’s the worst feeling, when suddenly your stomach drops and your heart sinks. Diego, we hope you’re okay. Maybe you can still salvage the situation?
Cat-astrophic
Here’s the thing about cats – they don’t care nothin’ about nothin’. If there’s a shelf to be walked along, a cat will walk along it, regardless of how many obstacles are in the way.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And so we have this photo of a cat before inevitable disaster strikes. We hope those items are insured, and the cat had better have had a good explanation for why it was up there in the first place.
Exotic? Really?
When we think of something being exotic, we imagine sandy beaches, palm trees, expensive jewelry, and piña coladas. This supermarket thinks about peas and carrots.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Yes, somehow this salad is exotic. We don’t know how they got to this conclusion, but we admire the optimism. We can’t wait to see how they describe their most expensive cuts of beef. “Priceless”?
Snow Joke
Sometimes, the photo is better than what actually happens. What actually happened here was a young man being struck on the side of the face by a snowball. What the photo shows is a moment in time where everyone knows what is happening except the subject of the image.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The look in his eyes is so innocent, so full of wonder, of what might be. His hopes and dreams hide inside that calm smile. And the snowball is about to smash his cheek to smithereens. And we love it.
The Gravity of the Situation
The truth of the matter is that watching someone do something dangerous is partly motivated by the desire to see them fail. It is inhuman, it is creepy, and we can’t really explain why. So when this guy took his bicycle out for a spin, we all secretly hoped for this to happen.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Caught mid-air and in his best Superman pose, this poor fellow is about to crash land. We know it, the crowd knows it… and it looks like he knows it too. Lesson learned – wear a helmet!
Mughshot McGee
You know that horrible feeling when you go to a bus stop and there’s an ad showing how effective the police have been recently but the guy playing the “criminal” in the ad looks remarkably like you? This guy does.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This poor dude just wanted to catch a bus, and now he has been immortalized as a fake criminal. If only he had gotten himself a haircut and a shave, this photo would have never happened. But we like his look. It’s cool. It gives off a “fake criminal” vibe.
Dodge This
We’ve had snowballs hit people in the face, but this time it is a dodgeball. And we’re going to be honest with you here, we think this one might have been staged. Why?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Because nobody wears glasses during a game of dodgeball. And if they do need to wear their glasses, they’ll at least use a set of those plastic goggles to protect their face. And look at the tension in this poor girl’s shoulders. She knows what’s incoming.
Groceries Ain’t My Bag
Here’s the thing about grocery bags. They’re really good, but they ignore one key fact: people’s determination to stuff as many things in them as humanly possible. Maybe it is our innate optimism, maybe it’s the lack of knowledge of physics. Either way, we all know what happens next.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Alas, this young lady’s winter grocery trip went all kinds of wrong. Spar is a British convenience story, and apparently they get their name from their bags being sub-par. The orange was the main culprit, but those two onions aren’t blameless either.
Confusing Perspective
Who goes out dressed as Minnie Mouse these days? It’s absurd, it’s bizarre, it’s – oh it’s a balloon. Okay, that explains everything.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It looks like the little girl wanted a balloon, mom bought one, and then the little girl decided she needed a nap. Mom took care of the balloon while her daughter slept, and thus the legend of the lady who dressed like Minnie Mouse was born.
Hair Do, Hair Don’t
We don’t tree-lieve it! This guy has hair 10ft high and in the shape of a tree! What a maverick. How much gel does he use? Can he reach his own branches? Do birds try and make nests in his ‘fro? Wait a minute…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Oh, it’s just a real tree in the background. Well, that’s disappointing. Things were starting to get interesting there. Cool bag, though.
Splash Warning
Surely she knew what was going to happen? Surely she knew? When she posed for this photo, the inherent risks must have been obvious to her.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The evidence says otherwise. One moment you’re smiling for the camera, the next you resemble a Sea World guest who got too close to Shamu. Maybe Shamu was the culprit? Maybe Shamu hired a guy to splash her? Let’s see where this investigation goes.
Whose Shoes?
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of satisfaction knowing that the clothes you wore were deemed fashionable enough to be worn by another cool person. And there’s nothing like the sense of shame of seeing the clothes you wore being worn by someone who is not cool.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
In this case, we don’t know which way the pendulum swings. But to be fair, they’re pretty cool shoes, and the odds of two identical pairs meeting on the subway are pretty impressive. Verdict: both guys are cool. And so are you.
Runaway Umbrella
Umbrellas are funny things, aren’t they? Firstly, they look funny. Secondly, nobody wants one, but is always jealous of someone who has one. And thirdly, they cannot be trusted when things get dangerous. Just like this one.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Some poor soul was out walking in the rain when this happened. Of course, their first response wasn’t to run for cover, but to get a photo. And thank goodness they did.
Are You in the Queue?
The answer is obviously “No, because I am a mannequin and I am immobile. Also, I can’t talk, so you may want to check your meds.”
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We don’t know how long this lady stood in line behind these mannequins, but whatever amount of time it was, it was too long. We really want to see the look on her face when she realized what she had just done.
Taboo Tattoos
There should be one universal rule for all tattoo studios – they must all have a qualified, in-house proofreader who checks every design before the ink comes out. Otherwise, you get something that looks like this.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
That mother must be ashamed. The misspellings aren’t even close to being acceptable. We’re also worried about the tattoo artist. Surely they knew something was wrong here?
Kiss Me on My Mask
You’re dancing. You’re a little intoxicated. You’re feeling confident. And then you lock eyes with a beautiful girl across the room. You sidle over (not too aggressively), you start to dance, and when the time is right, you make your move, and go in for the kiss.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Oh, no. Oh no, no no. There were no lips under that mask. In fact… yep, that’s just a mask on the back of someone’s head. I thought her knees bent the wrong way when we danced, you think to yourself. And then you go home and cry yourself to sleep.
Kiss Cam Fails
Everyone secretly hopes they get onto the kiss cam. It is a rite of passage for sports fans across the states, and they’re mostly all in good fun. Until something goes wrong.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We don’t know who we feel more sorry for here: the guy being rejected in front of thousands of people, or the guy who has never felt a woman’s touch… also in front of thousands of people.
Let Me Introduce You to the Friendzone
We’ve all been there. Letting a girl sit on your shoulders while she makes out with a better-looking, cooler, taller dude, while you sit there and wonder if this is your role in society.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Poor dude needs a break. We can see his thought process. Is this my life now? He went home alone that night (of course). But legend has it that he found true love at next week’s party, when he kissed a girl who was on the shoulder of her own Friendzoned guy. And so the cycle continues until the end of time.
Wave Goodbye
When you’re face to face with a 50ft wave, you should run. Get to safety. Find high ground. Prepare for the apocalypse. What you shouldn’t do is try to defeat it in hand-to-hand combat.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
But this guy met his foe face on. With fire in his eyes, he yelled into the abyss and said “I am here.” He was never seen again, but some say Poseidon himself offered him a seat at his table for his bravery.
Now Ain’t That a Kick in the Head
There are two events you should never get front row tickets for: the first is a comedy show. The second is a basketball game. Sure, it’s fine for the 99% of the game where everything is fine. But it only takes a second for things to go very wrong indeed.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Look at this fine gentleman. He’s worked his whole life. He’s saved some money. And now, he’s treated himself to some front row seats. And this is how he’s rewarded? Shame on you, NBA player!
Top Tips
We all know our waiters and waitresses rely on tips to make a living – even a few dollars can be the difference between making next month’s rent or not. So when you decide not to tip, there had better be a pretty good reason.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And it looks like this wife wasn’t too happy with how her meal played out. If you’re feeling sorry for the waitress right now, spare a moment’s thought for the husband. That is going to be an interesting car ride home.
The Bear, The Cave and The Camera
Caves are weird places. Full of adventure and mystery and bears and hidden treasures. Wait. Bears? Imagine taking a casual stroll through your local cave and finding an ursine travel companion. That’s what happened to this guy.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We don’t know what happened next, and we don’t want to know. Unless he got away, in which case we do want to know.
Parking: Fine
How many times do you have to be warned about your choice of parking spot before you have to suffer the consequences? This car owner clearly didn’t get the message.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And now you’re stuck. Not so clever now are you, Mr. “I’ll move it after dinner”? But look at the bright side: at least you know your car can’t get stolen here.
Call You Later,Alligator
You know that awkward feeling when an alligator steals your phone and walks off with it in its mouth? It happens to the best of us, sometimes on a bi-weekly basis.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This scenario raises two important questions: Did the alligator make any prank calls with the phone? And how strong is that protective phone case?
Baked Apples
Baked apple pie is a great dessert. We all love it. It’s amazing. What isn’t great is when you cook an Apple product. Especially a super expensive supercomputer.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Just… why not move the candle a little further away from the laptop? Or move the laptop a little further away from the candle? Or check that the laptop is safe? We give up. That person deserves a melted Mac.
Freefallin’
Everyone’s dream as a child was to be the one who can swing the highest on a swing set. And whoever swings the highest gets bragging rights on the playground. But when you’re a fully grown adult, and you still haven’t got over the fact that Samantha Johnson beat you in fourth grade, this happens…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And she’s freeee, freefallin’. She was bursting with ambition, with hope, with recklessness. And this was the upsetting result. And Samantha Johnson (who isn’t real, by the way) is still laughing.
Car-nage
If you’re a special kind of lucky, you can have a parking garage in your yard that actually goes up and down like an elevator. But what you absolutely must not do, under any circumstances, is raise that elevator while another car is above it. Otherwise, this happens…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And there goes the jeep. We don’t know which car owner is to blame, but what we do know is that there were a few awkward phone calls made that day.
Risky Business
The title for this entry is funny because it was a business taking a risk. Specifically, a U-Haul truck somehow thought it could use sheer willpower to defy basic geometry. The result was almost literally a square peg trying to find into a round hole.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We want to know what happened next. Did the driver make an excuse, and say the tunnel shrank? Or did he say he forgot what shape his truck was? Either way, we’re embarrassed for him.
Limoverhang
Limos are weird. Are they expensive and cool, or tacky and pointless? It depends on who is inside. Which is weird, if you think about it. What is also weird is a limo driver who doesn’t understand that a limo isn’t quite like other cars, especially when it comes to navigating hills.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Oh dear. That foreign dignitary/group of girls going to prom had better get a refund, because this overhang moment looks like it wasn’t going to be solved with just pushing the car backward!
The Sky is Down and the Floor is Up
If you look at this photo very closely, you might just spot something wrong. You’re right, that satellite dish is way too low. It should be much higher up the wall. Also, a plane is totally upside down.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Now, the upside-down plane is worrying, and we of course hope everyone on board was safe… but we want to know more about this satellite dish. Why is it so low? Did the installation guy not bring his ladder? Was he scared of heights? Bizarre.
Popping a Wheelie
The old adage says “it’s just like riding a bike.” But that assumes that you learned to ride a bike in the first place, and also avoided any traumatizing experiences… say, an entire wheel falling off your bike for no reason.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This young gentleman was clearly enjoying his ride when this happened, and you can see from the image that he hasn’t quite registered the missing wheel yet. The only advantage to this situation is that he can say he popped an awesome wheelie on camera without even using the bike’s pedals. What a legend.
Oh Buoy-ancy
This is another example of an image where something isn’t quite right. That’s right, the man in the blue shirt is wearing long sleeves on what is obviously a hot summer’s day. Also, there’s a capsized boat in the process of sinking.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It looks like this boat lost its will to live somewhere along the way, perhaps when it saw the guy with the long sleeves and just got confused. But maybe Yellow Shirt Man is to blame? This one could take decades to solve.
Head Over Heels
Do you remember the friendzone guy earlier in this post? This time there’s a bit of role reversal taking place, and the dude is making an “alpha” move by balancing one girlfriend on his shoulder while making out with another. And he’s got big biceps. Seriously, this guy is so cool.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Shoulder Girl doesn’t seem overly impressed. But there’s only a limit to how annoyed you can be at someone when they have voluntarily taken your entire body weight and plonked it onto their shoulders, just so you can see the music better.
Netflix and No Chill
Ooof, this one just hurts our feelings. Read the caption, then come back to us.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Now, we don’t like the situation. And we certainly don’t like how this poor guy found out he was (presumably) being cheated on… but fair play to him for exposing the mystery of the “dude’s face reflected in the laptop”. We won’t be able to sleep for at least a week.
Play it Cool
It’s time for a pep talk. Coach is in full military attire. You feel something pop up from the ground. It turns to face you, and fires a relentless barrage of cold water directly into your face. What do you do?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Play. It. Cool. Don’t let your teammates know. Don’t let anybody know. Don’t even let the water know. And whatever happens, make sure there isn’t a camera in sight. Oh, there is a camera, and you’ve been immortalized being sprayed with water? Okay, forget everything we just said.
Owl Do It
Showing friends and family your wedding photos is one of the greatest moments of your life. But when the album features an owl flying in front of the groom’s head, sharing it becomes the greatest moment of anyone’s life ever.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We like to believe the owl photobomb was a deliberate maneuver devised by a group of owl friends, but even if it isn’t, we’re still happy for the bride and groom and hope they got as big a laugh out of this photo as we did.
Rugby Tackles
If you don’t know much about rugby, imagine the NFL with no pads, and the ball not being allowed to move forwards unless it is kicked. Or, just look at this photo.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
And before you ask, yes, women’s rugby is just as scary, aggressive and physical as the men’s game. Freeze frames like the one above are a regular occurrence… but maybe with fewer broken jaws!
Cringetopia
Everything about this image is so off-putting and awkward that we can barely breathe. It is so unfathomable why anyone would do this.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The chips are – let’s talk about the chips. Where’s the bag? Why are they arranged so haphazardly? If she had really poured chips over herself in her sleep surely they’d be in a pile. And then there’s the mirror. Of all the places to take a posed photo…
The Extendable Leg
Being tall is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that you can reach things and you can always spot someone in a crowd. The curse is that legroom can be a little hard to come by…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We don’t know how long he sat/stood like this, and we almost don’t want to know. What we do want to know is how many people he inadvertently tripped up.
Paper Trail
Well, this is just embarrassing. We’ve all been walking around after using a public restroom and found that a piece of toilet paper is stuck to our shoe. But sticking out of our pants? This is more rare.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
So, who’s gonna tell her? While it’s not a comfortable conversation to have, someone needs to save this woman a lot of embarrassment! We know we would want someone to tell us if we were in her shoes.
Shopping Car-t
There are three types of people in this world: there are those who park normally, those who park over the lines, thereby taking up two spaces… and this guy.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We really don’t know how to react to this one. That surely can’t have been the only space in the entire parking lot. Having said that, you do have to admire the resourcefulness… and the sheer audacity. Power to you, bro!
That’s the Spirt!
Oh, girls… You had one job. Spirit has six letters, but you only provided us with five. That’s only 83.3% of the word, and that’s not enough, is it?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Having said that, we kind of like the word “spirt”. It’s got character, and it could mean just about anything. Girls, you’re geniuses!!
Taller by a Hair… and a Stool
An interesting fact about boys and girls is that girls get taller first. It’s a weird part of human adolescence that doesn’t do much for a young man’s confidence. Unless…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
You use a stool to make it look like you’re a whole head taller than your girlfriend. True, she is wearing heels, but she definitely had a few inches on that guy. Hopefully, none of his friends saw this photo, but that is wishful thinking.
Working Hard or Hardly Working?
Well, now we know why the DMV is so slow. It’s those pesky games of solitaire. We don’t like seeing people getting in trouble at work but… seriously?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Fun fact, the people waiting at the front of the line were 20 years old when they arrived at that office. Just look at them now!
Yellow Belt
Ok, so here’s the story as we understand it. Young Sam had just won her first karate tournament and no one dumped any Gatorade over her head. So her dog, Toodles, attempted to make amends.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We see you and we appreciate you, Toodles. It’s the thought that counts. Even though we can see the girl’s face says otherwise…
Overdressed
You know that creepy cousin in every family? The one who drinks pickle juice and has full conversations with cats? That’s this guy.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Apparently, this was totally unstaged. This young man went to a Halloween party dressed as the Babadook, while everyone else opted for more of a “smart casual” look. Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb.
Whose Hand?
Confusing perspectives are the best kind of perspectives! While two friends pose for a smiley photo, a man in the background appears to want to get his hand involved.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The only thing giving away the identity of the hand is that those nails are way too manicured to belong to that guy. Unless, of course, they aren’t, and he’s just got really long arms and great hand hygiene.
Catwoman
If there’s any animal on the face of the earth that doesn’t know its place, it’s cats. But sometimes, they do something so great that we can forgive their innate arrogance. This is one such example.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
In just a flick of its head, this cat transformed its owner into a real-life Catwoman. And honestly, the combination of this random lady and her cat would still probably make a better version of the movie than Halle Berry’s infamous attempt!
Amphibious Car
We can all see what is happening here, but the interesting thing is the story behind the photo.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Turns out, the car owner in the background is actually called James Bond, and he thought his car would turn into a boat if he pushed it into the water. It didn’t turn into a boat. It was just a car. PS. This is a made up story, we have no idea what happened here, but whatever really happened, our version is funnier.
Strong Hair
Look, if you haven’t heard of the new “Cementy” hair gel, we don’t know what to tell you. Not only is this guy revolutionizing the world of breakdancing with his rock hard ‘do, he’s now got his hands free to protect himself from that ever-humiliating crotch shot.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It may look like this is just a well-timed photo, and his hair isn’t actually cemented and holding him up. But we promise, it is…we think.
Busted up Blockbuster
Let’s have a moment of silence for our fallen comrade, Blockbuster. It was a simpler time. Driving across town, renting a movie you’ve seen a hundred times before, and then returning it over three weeks late and paying a hefty fine.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Actually, you know what? That graffiti is accurate. We’ll stick to Netflix. But there was no need to be rude, guys. Let us have some nostalgia!
The Invisible Man
We’ve all got an invisible, flying friend who wants to tag along for everything. This one is here to spot his friend Doug, in case he falls…
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Don’t trust him, Doug. There’s something shifty in his eyes. You can see right through him….Oh wait, did this guy just lose his glasses? Tragic.
40+ Dog People Vs. Cat People Tweets That Made Us Laugh
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
There are just some topics that cause debates to erupt no matter where you are – politics, religion, and even cats vs. dogs! There are some that feel that you have to pick a side, and this has created quite the buzz on social media. Here are some funny “dog people vs. cat people” tweets. There is no need to choose a side, just enjoy the tweets and hopefully have a few laughs!
It’s Not Real
When you talk to a lot of people, they often make it seem like you can’t like both cats and dogs. Don’t let others make you feel like there is a line, and you have to make a choice. This is not a real decision that you need to make.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
It is perfectly fine if you like both dogs and cats! We promise that there is no consequence if you choose to do so, in fact, the more the merrier.
You Are Not the Boss
So cats are more self-reliant, and therefore they don’t need as much attention as dogs. Nor do some of them want it, and this makes them a great choice for those humans that are independent as well. So to the control freaks out there, be aware of this!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This tweet is so spot on. Cats will have no issue with letting you know when they want you to give them attention or are in the mood for some love. Just remember, you are not in control of your feline!
Dress Up
How many times have you seen a person dress their pup up or talk to them like they were the next-door neighbor? Probably a lot, so @simonsinek may have a point.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We’re not taking this tweet as fact but it does give us something to think about. On the flip side, many cat lovers out there will be heard saying how cool it would be to be a cat. They have a life, don’t they?
Name-Calling
So once again, this tweeter has made a good point that has stopped us in our tracks. There are a ton of different dog breeds, and the owners of these dogs are very happy to let you know what type of breed their four-legged friends are.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
On the other hand, cat lovers will not be able to give you the breed unless they are super duper into cats which is rarely the case. This makes it seem like dog lovers are more complex creatures than the owners of cats. What do you guys think?
Hate Is Such a Strong Word
Some cat lovers get very hurt when someone says they hate their cute, cuddly furballs that have taken up residence in their hearts. This is when they begin to clap back and boy, do they clap back hard.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Though this person might actually be right because if you do indeed own a cat then you have to be prepared for just a little rejection from time to time. After all, it is their world and we just pay the taxes and live in it!
First Responder
It is true that dogs can be very heroic in a crisis as they have the size and strength to do things cats could never even imagine doing. But that is just it, cats might feel the same way and want to help but their stature prohibits it.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This guy’s cat clearly has the inkling to help his buddy out and for that, he deserves an ‘A’ for effort. Don’t you agree? Plus, the more you try at something, the higher your chances of success, so maybe one day this little feline will show us all!
The Bottom Line
In order to get a dog that has breeding on its side, you will have to shell out quite a pretty penny and dog owners don’t seem to mind. As long as they get the exact one they had their eyes on.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
On the other hand, while there are cats out there that can cost you an arm and a leg, most cat owners have some rescue story as to how they found their little guy.
Each Has a Place
So it is true that each pet comes with its own plusses and minuses. But this person seems to be a dog person, and we can tell this by how one-sided this tweet is. Cats can be loyal and give tons of love too!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
But the ghost thing, that is for sure only something a cat can do… So weigh out your options, think about your preferences, and choose accordingly! Truth be told, we don’t really think you can make a bad choice here.
That’s All
While we did have a good chuckle at this tweet, we don’t think the choice of pet is a way to determine who does and doesn’t like people. We believe you can be anti-social no matter the pet you choose.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
In fact, if you have a dog and you have good conversations with them, why do you need other friends!? But as for whether dog people have cats, we actually believe there is some truth to this. What do you all think?
Doggy Debt
It is believed that cats choose their owners more than dogs do. Many times when you are looking to get a new dog, you are willing to go into debt to find the dog you want. In this case, the human is strategically choosing the pet.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
However, a cat is often found, rescued, or finds a home they like and makes itself comfortable. This is an animal choosing a human.
Give Me My Space
Cats are standoffish to a point. Well, most of them, not all of them. So when you are a cat person, you have to develop an understanding of being okay with this trait. Because of this, we can see why, if you have always dealt with dogs, you might find this a little off-putting.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
With that being said, life is all about adapting to new norms. Just like you expect your animals to understand you and put up with your many quirks, so it should work both ways. Don’t you think?
Why Not?
We try not to choose a side, but this tweet is kind of right! We have witnessed a cat person having dogs but very few dog people who take in a cat. This disparity seems strange. Why do you think this could be the case?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Maybe this is the big hurdle to lap. Dog people can’t see the worth of a cat, but a cat person understands the appeal of a pup. Seems somewhat unbalanced to us, right?!

Some people are super serious about the quality of food that goes into their bodies, and these people are also that way when it comes to their four-legged friends. Many dog people don’t blink twice about paying a little more for food that is better for their pup.

..8..
Cat people are a little less worried about that, but even still, some really do worry about their cat’s stomachs. After all, if not, you may smell something later that will make you wish you didn’t have the ability to smell…
Economical Differences
The cost of taking care of a dog can be much higher than that of a cat. That is one of the pointers that many cat people talk about when they are trying to convince people why they don’t want a dog. But are they really that much more expensive?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
They may well be, but there are cats that require special care, and they can be just as expensive. So is that really an argument? We should try not to involve money too much when considering something that we love.
Freedom of Feeling
Why is not preferring one to the other a deal-breaker when it comes to friends? You cannot like cats, we cannot like dogs, yet we can still meet up for a drink or dinner and not have to fight about which is better.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
There is no right or wrong answer! Can’t we just let everyone choose the pet that makes them happy and go on with life! We don’t mean to sound aggressive but this tweet really re-lit our fire of passion.
Now Hiring
So this next tweet brings up the question of a human’s role in the cat or dog’s everyday life. According to @GinaValley, dogs need to be taken care of and controlled, while cats will take charge and treat their owners like they work for them.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This could all be true! After all, cats only really need us to clean up after them and give them food. Whereas, dogs need to be bathed, loved, and walked on top of all of that. We can see how some may think like this!
The ‘Purr’-fect Feeling
Like with everything in the animal kingdom, including humans, each pet, whether it be a cat or a dog, has its own personality. So letting one experience affect how you feel about a whole species is totally unfair!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This person seems to think that if you had ever had a cat purr on you, that thought would change quickly. Perhaps that magical feeling might just be the thing that could end the dog and cat person debate.
Know Your Friends
This person seems to have a good handle on the basic breakdown between dogs and cats. Those that have cats know they are… well, you know, a little difficult. So it’s never a surprise when someone tells them.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
But you insult a dog owner’s baby, and they are ready for a wrestling throwdown. Well, maybe not quite, but they are quick to the pooches defense, that is for sure!
Types of People
In every rivalry, there is a common ground. The trick is finding it, and maybe this person has found the one for the whole cat vs. dog thing. Perhaps there is a truce to be built on these people’s shared dislike for the human species as a whole.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Or maybe that might separate them even more, seeing as how it seems that the people that they explicitly don’t like are each other! Remember guys, let’s try to make love, not war.
Leave Us Out of It
Like with any feud, sometimes it is more about the system and not the people. This is what it is like in the cat and dog world. The misconception for decades was that they were enemies, but that really isn’t the case.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
In fact, dogs and cats are often seen playing and having fun with one another which combats this stereotype. The issue is the humans won’t let the rivalry die!
Childish Differences
Is there really a difference between cats and dogs? Sure there are some that have helped create all those stereotypes. For example, dogs are much needier and they need to be walked, so this has caused some owners to treat them like their children.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
While cats are more self-assured and individualistic creatures which makes them more mature. But even still, those differences are not enough to keep this debate going, is it?
Don’t Believe the Stereotypes!
There are always exceptions to rules and this person wants to give clarity on that stereotype that stays that cats are not loving and friendly. In fact, she is even willing to let you babysit her cat for a little so that you can see that not all cats are the same.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Of course, there are some dogs out there that are anti-social and lazy too. Does that make them more of a cat? No, so stop telling these pets who they are! Let them be them! We know we sound like we’re preaching hard but it’s just because we’re passionate.
Feline Patriotism
One of the big things after the Presidential election is the pet the first family chooses. Why? Who knows, but for some bizarre reason, it matters. Most of the time, they choose a dog, but that trend may be perpetuating this whole cat and dog people thing.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
So attempting to squash that tension by bringing both animals into that big white house is a smart move. Plus, there’s more than enough space for cats and dogs to roam freely. Perhaps this is what the country needs to “Make America Great Again!”
That’s Harsh!
Most of the time, when you talk to a cat person, they don’t dislike dogs. They just chose the cat above all because they like them more. But that is not always the case when it comes to passionate dog lovers.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Or at least that is how this cat lover feels about them. It is clear that they have had some previous bad experiences with dog owners We wonder if this is an exaggeration or if someone actually said this to them… This person sure has a wild imagination if it was made up.
Who’s More Elite?
There is almost a classist kind of line in some arguments when it comes to dogs versus cats. Dogs are looked at as the pet for the average person. Whereas many think cats are far more bougie!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
But when you listen to the stories of how each person got their pet, it is often the cat story that is a little more humble. Interesting argument… we think this might be a cat lover sending this tweet out.
Each to Their Own
You know the thing about choosing a pet is that it really comes down to personal preference. Some want a more active pet, and that requires more work. While some want a pet that they will always have to do things their way.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This is not a matter of good vs. bad, it’s just a choice. There are even some people that want both. But the trick is knowing what you have chosen and being okay living with it.
Working With the “Popo”
Okay, so this person says that the fact the dogs work with the police means that they are naturally untrustworthy and will turn you in at the drop of a hat. That would mean that cats are more trustworthy, right?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Our issue with this statement is that working with the authorities most certainly does not mean that you are a traitor. In fact, more often it shows that you have a strong moral compass. With that being said, we do agree that we never see cats working with the police. Why is that?
Philosophical Differences
There are those that take the differences of the cats and dogs to all-new levels and make them quite philosophical. This person took time to really think out their dog vs. cat tweet. There are some valuable points, though.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Dogs do tend to be more obedient, and cats are willing to call you out and let you know when you are getting a little too big for your boots.
Semantics
This tweet here isn’t something new that we’ve seen. We already know that dog owners tend to be more pedantic about the name of their pet’s breed than that of cat owners. However, seeing this visual representation of it is a first for us.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
For us, it’s clear as day that @AGhostlerer is pro-feline and anti-canine by the way in which dog people have been portrayed. They look like angry monsters while the cat owners get a nice crop of golden hair and a beard.
First Date Faux Pas
Every now and then, you meet someone who straddles that line and loves both dogs and cats. These people might be the ones that stop this perpetual war. But if you date them, clearly you have to be careful.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This person takes her love of both dogs and cats very seriously, and unfortunately, that may lead to some questioning down at the station! Note to all, find a better conversation starter than talking about animals!
Cite Your Sources
So we are going to guess that the person that posted this is a cat person. Because we are sure that there is a dog person out there that has conflicting scientific proof. So we think in order to solve this problem, we need to make sure that the evidence being given is checked and approved.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Also, who did a study to determine the intelligence of cat owners across the country? While we do actually find the topic fascinating, we just wonder how they managed to get funding for it? We bet it was from a cat lover!
You Are Not Helping
It is hard to stand up for your furry friend when they go and do crazy things like getting stuck in the blinds. This person was passionately trying to defend his cat by talking about their intelligence and independence.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Then their cat went and did something that puts all that into question. You are not helping the case, Fluffy! Maybe next time, you can wait to be silly until after the poor guy is done making his statement!
Different Strokes
We know that many people think you can’t teach cats tricks, but that is one of those myths that have been spread that is just not true. While it may take more work, they can indeed be taught. So this person’s pro-dog tweet is not necessarily true.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Rumors like this only keep this perpetual back and forth between dog people and cat people going. Stop adding fuel to the fire guys! It’s really starting to get old.
Break it Down
When choosing your pet, you need to think about the level of companionship that suits you. If you’re looking for an animal that respects the couch potato lifestyle, then a cat is probably your best bet.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
However, if you are looking for a companion to do everything with, then nine times out of ten, you probably want a dog. With that being said, the village people sound like super easy-going companions.
Make a Choice
It seems like there are a lot of dog owners that want you to choose a side. Or at least that is what it looks like from this person’s take on things. It also seems that though this person says they love both animals, they clearly prefer cat people over dog people.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We don’t think this is actually how all the dog owners are like out there, but it certainly seems like this person is making a blanket statement. Can’t we all just get along?!
Take Me to Your Leader
It is nice when someone from the other camp can give their rivals a nice compliment. This dog person admitted that there are some redeemable traits of their feline foes. Maybe they realize that the nonchalant attitude of the cats is something to aspire to?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Or maybe they are trying to make it seem like they are doling out a compliment to just make some major inferences on the cat’s character.
Evil Incarnate
This person seems to be asking why it has to be this way and he’s right! Why do you have to choose? Can’t we like both? And if not, who stands to gain something from keeping our teams divided? All good questions!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We can’t say for certain that the person or group that sparked this whole debate is villainous. That seems a little unfair but we do think that this whole cat vs. dog rivalry is unnecessary.
Give Me Love
No one wants to think about leaving their pets and loved ones behind after they depart this Earth. But apparently, dog people think that their pups will not be able to go on without them.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
But cats, on the other hand, will live on. Is this really how you want to differentiate which animal is best as a pet? We think this is a little harsh of a measuring stick! Plus, all this talk of graveyards is making us feel uncomfortable.
Bad Memories
Some people may have started out loving dogs, but through one bad experience, they have grown to dislike them. Though this seems a little harsh as every dog is different, we can understand how trauma can change your feelings.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Apparently, this person doesn’t think dog people understand that. We hope that is not true. It’s unfair to think that one animal gets more of a hard time than another. We’re all about equality!
Lint Roller Anyone?
Maybe the trick to getting over this whole dog people versus cat people is to look at the similar experiences you share. For example, the frustrating issue of dealing with animals’ hair shedding everywhere.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We think this shared experience could actually do wonders. Maybe dog and cat owners can share with each other how they fix this issue. By helping each other out and meeting in the middle, this whole feud can finally be put to bed.
Muahahahah
Some kitties are so sweet and cuddly while others, well, you just shouldn’t get on their bad side. Or at least, just don’t look them the wrong way because — as this Twitter user points out — you will get attacked. And you can forget about remorse or regret because this cat will be showing none of that.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Instead, you can expect to hear a little meow cackle. Ya know, as much as we love cats, we can understand why so many people fear them. All you dog lovers should really just stick to what you know.
Spell Check Is Definitely a Dog Person
You heard it here first, people — spell check was obviously created by a dog lover. After all, why else would Jenny’s phone automatically change anarchist to antichrist?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Not that an anarchist is so much better than the antichrist, but still, if anyone had to do with this autocorrection, we would bet it’s a dog person but a dog person who hates cats. That’s the only explanation here.
Choose a Side, Buddy
A dog may be a man’s best friend and a loyal companion, but as soon as a cat is involved, all bets are off. Twitter user @KalvinMacleod said it himself. The minute he admitted that he can be both a cat person and a dog person, his four-legged canine gave him a run for his money — or a run for his clothes, in this case.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
So, as much as Kalvin doesn’t like to choose sides, we can only assume that this experience taught him a lesson.
A Perfect Representation
If you’ve ever wondered what a dog person looks like compared to a cat person, well, this photo perfectly sums it up. On the lefthand side, you see a cute pup posing with his extremely chipper owner. Judging by their expressions, this pair just loves people!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
On the right-hand side, however, you’ve got the complete opposite. A fluffy cat sitting atop its owner, and they both have less-than-enthusiastic expressions. In other words, Todd’s tweet was totally accurate.
Catfished
Ugh! Don’t you just hate when that happens? You’re on an app looking for new friends. You swipe onto a profile that looks promising; this person’s bio even says that they’re a total cat person. Now, considering that you love cats, you get pretty psyched and decide to reach out to this special someone.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
You make a plan with them, but when the day finally comes and you meet them in real life, you find out that they’re just another human being. Now, that’s what we call getting “catfished.”
Do You Kiss Your Mother With That Mouth?
While we’ve really just been joking about most of these tweets, there really is some truth to this one. It’s a little bizarre to judge someone for being a cat lover when you willingly let your dog lick your lips every other second of the day.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We totally understand the love that you have for your pup, but that just ain’t sanitary. And as much as you hate us for being honest, you know we’re right.
Conveniently Cute
It’s one thing to be a dog person, and we understand that some people just prefer them over cats, but it’s a completely different story to be so obsessed with dogs that you’d willingly hurt a kitty.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Obviously, we know that Twitter user @david8hughes is just playing around — or, so we hope — but if anyone threw our cat out of the window, you better believe we’d come for that person regardless of how cute the dog is. Don’t mess with cats or cat lovers, and don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Ding Dong
In all honesty, we wouldn’t be surprised if a cat was able to learn how to ring the doorbell. After all, Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) was able to potty train Jinx the cat in Meet the Parents. And by the way, people have done the same thing with their cats in real life (for real).
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
All we’re saying is that if Twitter user Philip wasn’t around to ring the bell, who says that this little kitty cat couldn’t learn how to ring the bell himself? Don’t put it past the little guy.
No Discrimination
Whether you’re a cat lover or a dog person, all of us pet owners speak in weird voices when we’re having a conversation with our four-legged friends; there’s no denying that.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Johnathan here doesn’t have a preference and he definitely doesn’t discriminate — he just wants to be handed a fluffy, cuddly animal who will look at him with adoration while he speaks in the weirdest voice he can muster.
Cannot Be Trusted
Hmm, this tweet is an interesting one. Whether or not it’s true is a totally different story, but still, it does make sense in a way. After all, cats are independent and walk to the beat of their own drum. Dogs, well, dogs walk to whatever beat you give them.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
They don’t mind giving up control as long as their companion is happy — which really is a great thing. But cats are awesome, too, and anyone who disagrees may have a thing about being in control.
Fight the Power
When a battle like this one continues for as long as it has eventually, there will be activists that rise out of the ashes. This person is one of those types and she feels like the felines species has been bound and gagged for a long time.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
This comes across as overly severe and the capitalized sentences just add to the intensity. But then again, you can believe whatever you want to believe, after all, this is a free country!
Animal Politics
Why do people automatically think you hate cats if you like dogs? And visa versa? This person seems to believe that it depends on which camp you reside in. Clearly, they think cat people are a little more tolerant.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Is that true? Who knows, but they definitely encountered a dog person or two that made them believe this to be true. We do not agree with their representation of a typical dog person at all. No animal deserves to be extinct!
Backhanded Compliment
No matter who the pet is, the fact that they are there to be your companion is what really matters. But cats and dogs can be the one thing that makes you feel that you have a purpose. That means that despite what you think of them, they are important.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Whether they’re evil geniuses, know-it-alls, or more on the slow-side intellectually, they’re still yours, and you should love them unconditionally. Unrelated side note: who names their cat Steven?
Let Them Go
We have already established that cats are known to be more independent and on their own mission in life. We can also agree that dogs require more constant attention. But with that being said, that doesn’t mean to say then that the owners must have the opposite traits.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
We bet there are micro-managers out there that own cats, just like there are ones that own dogs. Nothing is so black and white so let’s give these stereotypes a break. We’re truly just tired of correcting them.
Do Not RSVP
Cat people understand that there are people that don’t like cats. This may be a little upsetting because they don’t understand it, but they tend to let it go as they know it’s not a comment on them.

We’ve all been there.
