I am so grateful these people exist in the Earth ( even if I ’m not sure I ’d require to know them IRL ) .

2024 has been a stressful, often depressing dumpster fire of a year (kinda like every year for the last decade or so, now that I think about it). So, if there’s one thing I’m thankful for, it’s funny people who can make us do this:

Want to laugh? Feel alive again? Experience joy? Or, you know, maybe just be slightly amused when you have a few minutes to kill? Well, look no further, friends. Here are 37 absolutely hilarious people:

1.First, there’s this person who — when their friend texted to ask if they got the raise — sent back this photo:

2.This knucklehead who somehow discovered EarPods could be XXX ready:

3.And this chronically late person who came up with this, uh,foolproofplan to be on time:

4.There’s this betrayed wife who left this hilariously scathing review of the hotel her husband cheated on her at — using his account:

5.This person who discovered an angry little chicken nugget in their value meal:

6.And this gas station owner who — god love ‘em — didn’t discriminate against their hygiene-challenged customers:

7.There’s this boyfriend who left the sticky note on top for his girlfriend…who then left him the one on the bottom:

8.This departing, “bad at goodbyes” coworker who left these:

9.And this quitting employee who handed in THIS as their letter of resignation:

10.There’s this person who made the greatest garage door I have ever seen:

11.This Tesla owner with buyer’s remorse who added this bumper sticker:

12.And this prankster who put up this very official and real sign:

13.There’s this person who added an extra spouse on Ryan Reynolds’s Wikipedia page (and something tells me he’d find this hilarious):

14.This dog owner who put a hole in their fence to let their dog poke their head out and howl like Michael Jackson in theThrillervideo:

15.And this… Oh wait, will you look at that. That EarPods photo somehow popped up here again. How did that happen? Well, I guess we might as well take the time to gaze upon it again.

16.There’s this 13-year-old at heart who couldn’t help but giggle at this person’s call number at the DMV:

17.This person who had the greatest Wi-Fi name, like, ever:

18.And this person who — I’m guessing — got REALLY stoned and came up with some literally big ideas:

19.There’s this grandma who worried her apartment was too cold, so she covered Jesus with a blanket:

20.This bar owner who thunk up a genius plan for unattended children:

21.And this pub owner in London who had a cheeky message for Americans (and, OK, we deserve it):

22.There’s this dude with $16 to his name who couldn’t help but laugh upon getting this notification about Steph Curry’sslightlydifferent financial situation:

23.This wife who came up with a brilliant plan to ensure her husband didn’t forget his lunch:

24.And this guy who wore a full-face respirator while mowing the lawn…and this T-shirt to let any confused neighbors know why:

25.There’s this eye doctor who put up this hilarious sign in the bathroom:

27.And this wife who had quite the way to mark her second wedding anniversary:

28.There’s this person who could have bought something with this $10, but instead decided to do this:

29.This Jeep driver who was refreshingly honest about their car:

30.And this person who rearranged these mannequins to appear to have a secret romantic history:

31.There’s this person who was haunted by ghosts of pastas past (look in the pot):

32.This person — a very bored person, I imagine — who made some changes to this wet floor sign:

33.And this coworker who said goodbye to a departing coworker in this hilariously sarcastic way:

34.There’s this jokester who pulled a fast one on the DMV and got this vanity plate approved (try reading it upside down and backwards):

35.This mom in need of glasses who got out of the car at the drive-thru:

36.This kid who wrote his — ahem —loudparents this no-holds-barred note:

37.And lastly, there’s… Huh? It’s the EarPods again. How the heck did that show up? It’s not like we need to see those sexy…I mean FUNNY…EarPods again! Anyway, the post is over, so feel free to click out of it…or to spend the next hour memorizing every pixel of this photo:
