Comical Signs That Turn Any Bad Week Around
Wait, before you get really upset...
Check out this dog's setup:
School's starting up soon, and this classroom sign will surely get the parents talking:
I'm sure the escalations were very appreciated:
Well that is one heck of a way to go:
We love a good pun:
—redgoat892
A legit warning sign:
At least they're honest:
This is apparently one of those IYKYK things:
One teacher explained: "When teachers get together and drink and bring their partners, we fall into conversations where we talk about work drama, inadvertently excluding non-teachers. Work drama might include:1. Policy changes that are ridiculous and completely change our lives: 'Dude, what do you think of the massive pay cuts after year five?' 'Dumbest policy ever. I've already started looking for a new school.'2. Gossip: "Has Timmy been acting weird in your class?' 'Yeah. He and his girlfriend broke up.' 'Who was he dating?' 'Ashley.' 'Wtf??? That makes no sense.' 'Yeah, I know, they have nothing in common.'3. Workshopping lesson plans or classroom management stuff: 'I cannot get Bobby to stop bullying kids in my class.' 'Oh dude, just start calling him your favorite student. Reverse psychology makes him do a 180.'4. Small celebrations: 'Guess who KILLED his presentation? Alex.' 'The incredible, socially awkward autistic kid? HELL yeah!' 'Yeah, he did it all about how Cars 2 is the greatest movie of all time. It was off topic, of course, but he had the whole class dying laughing.'No matter what, it's gonna mostly leave out people who have no context."
Oh, the accuracy:
Well, I have no words for this one:
Yeah, grow up loser!:
I am really confused but somehow entertained by this one:
BOOYA indeed:
This store could use a bit of rearranging:
—bravecake3726
And no one thought it needed rewording:
I guess a lot of people still aren't aware they can tap:
Let the crime fit the punishment:
And, finally, I think it is supposed to be "DMV" not "BMV" but I really hope they got pulled over:

Grandma Told Man She Had Got Him a 'PS5'—Nothing Prepared Him for the Truth
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An Indiana man was delighted when his grandma told him she had bought him a PlayStation 5 at a bargain price—until he saw it for himself. Malachi, 26, took to Reddit to share a picture of the video-game console his grandmother, 69, purchased for him. "She told me she had gotten me one kinda out of the blue," Malachi told Newsweek. "It wasn't my birthday or anything, but she thrift-shops and goes to a lot of rummage sales. I guess she assumed she had hit gold and gave it to me since I'm one of the younger grandkids." The PlayStation 5, or PS5 as it is more commonly known, is the most-popular video games console in the world. Data compiled by Statista showed over 5.23 million PS5 consoles have been sold worldwide, putting it ahead of the Nintendo DS and Switch as the world's bestselling video games console. Malachi, who asked for his last name to be omitted from this story, was therefore understandably delighted when his grandma informed him she had managed to get him one as a gift. "I was excited because I don't game much due to not having a newer console," he said. "I didn't ask her for it, but I'm not gonna say no to a new PS5." Malachi's mood quickly changed, however, when his grandma handed over the PS5 and he discovered, to his horror, that it was actually something called a GS5. The games on the system were markedly different. "It has arcade style games, think Super Mario and Sonic type games," Malachi said. "It's more similar to the PS1 and PS2," he added. Despite the disappointment, Malachi was able to see the funny side and didn't hesitate to take a picture of his new "PS5" and share it online. Posting a picture of the console to Reddit under the handle u/OkEscape7558, Malachi wrote: "My granny told me she got me a PS5 and some controllers." The post blew up, earning almost 100,000 upvotes and over 2,200 comments. "How is that even legal?" one commenter wrote, while others came out in support of Malachi's grandmother. "You hold your tongue and thank your sweet Grandma," another wrote. "As far as she should be concerned, she got you a nice present that made their grandchild happy. If she's on a fixed income you thank her harder and you take that fake ps5 home and you play it and enjoy it." One user wrote: "Infuriating for now but keep that thing. When she's gone that's going to be quite the memory." Malachi, to his credit, has been largely positive about his new GS5. "It wouldn't be a bad game console if it had its own name and wasn't a rip-off of PlayStation," he said. More important, Malachi never let on to grandma that it wasn't a PS5. "I just said thank you and didn't tell her it was a fake," he said.

'Weapons' hot dog scene goes viral but may have a moving inspiration
Rarely in film history has a character's tray of food caused such a stir. The buzzy horror movie "Weapons" is packed with striking, nightmarish images, but an unexpected one has become a social media sensation: a shot of a tray of hot dogs. In a scene from the film, Benedict Wong's school principal character, Marcus, is shown at home with his husband, and viewers get a glimpse at their peaceful life before things take a dark turn. Marcus' husband prepares food for the two of them to share and brings out a surprisingly packed tray filled with a whopping seven hot dogs, four chocolate chip cookies, some potato chips and a bowl of carrots. For some moviegoers, the arguably excessive number of hot dogs, not to mention the fact that an odd number of them were prepared even though there were only two people, was one of the main things they wanted to talk about after the credits rolled. "Why did bro need so many hot dogs??" one Reddit user asked, while another commented, "Homies had a LOT of hot dogs to consume which was kind of crazy for lunch time." "Sharing 7 hot dogs is just what you do when you're really in love," one X user joked. Another person quipped about the online discourse getting out of control, joking, "You don't see a movie opening weekend and by Monday morning people are talking about the hot dogs in it." Even the official X account for Letterboxd got in on the fun, sharing a photo of the hot dog tray from the movie along with the caption, "Time for lunch." The X account, Shirts That Go Hard, meanwhile, posted a shirt inspired by the food tray. But memes aside, there may be a touching meaning behind the scene. 'Weapons' comes out: What critics say about the 'spine-tingler' horror movie Fans have speculated that the seven hot dogs are a nod to an old sketch by the Whitest Kids U'Know, the comedy group that "Weapons" director Zach Cregger was a member of alongside late comedian Trevor Moore. In a 2009 sketch from the group's TV show, a doctor, played by Moore, asks a patient how many hot dogs he eats a day. "Average per day would be something like, I don't know, seven?" the patient says, leading the doctor to note that this is "a little high." The doctor then asks the patient to walk him through his routine, which reveals that he is constantly eating hot dogs throughout the day. Spoilers! Why this 'Weapons' villain is summer's most disturbing baddie In August 2021, Moore died after falling off a balcony at age 41. In interviews, Cregger has said he wrote "Weapons" as a way to process his grief about the loss of his friend. The film, which stars Julia Garner as a teacher whose entire class disappears except for one student, topped the box office after receiving near-universal acclaim from critics. It was released on Aug. 8, just one day after the fourth anniversary of Moore's death.

19 Commonly Unique Experiences From The Past
Recently, we asked older adults of the BuzzFeed Community to share the common, everyday experiences and routines from the '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s that would have young folks now completely confused. And as an older Gen Z'er, I can't even fathom half of it. Here are some of the normal but unique happenings from "back in the day" that, depending on your age, will either have you feeling incredibly nostalgic or super perplexed: "We had a wooden milk box on the front porch in the '50s and '60s. The milkman left the milk in the early morning, and we had to get it out and into the fridge ASAP, especially in the summer! And in the winter, we had to get the milk before it froze." —psychicdolphin96 "In the late '50s and early '60s, there was a man who drove through the neighborhood monthly to sharpen knives and scissors. My mom would gather together all the items she needed sharpened and meet him at the curb in the morning. He'd return everything later in the day to give all the sharpened knives back to my mom!" "Unless it was raining, we played OUTSIDE every day." "I worked as a patient transporter to and from the OR in a hospital in 1979. There were two lounges: one for the surgeons and one for the nurses and techs. Both of them were so thick with cigarette smoke that it was hard to see across the rooms. Don't forget about the teacher smoking lounge in schools!" —trendyduck903 "We always had a family shoe-shining kit at home since we had to keep our shoes shiny for school." "Students got report cards, which were actual pieces of paper with grades on them that parents had to sign and return. In my hometown, once you got your last report card that showed you were promoted to the next grade, you could take it to the downtown drugstore, get it stamped, and get a free ice cream cone from the soda fountain. Good times!" "The naughty children were paddled by the principal. The paddle was huge and had holes in it to really hurt them. If we were chewing gum, we were also punished by having to stick the gum on our nose, then standing in the corner of the room for the remainder of the class." "We had to get up and go to the TV every time we wanted to change the channel or adjust the volume. Our first TV remote wasn't until the early '70s. I was so happy to not be the designated channel changer!" —crispycaptain967 "I graduated from a small Wyoming high school in 1974. Nearly every high school boy drove an older pickup truck with a rifle in a visible gun rack (possibly loaded, too, but if not, ammunition was readily available). Also, no student vehicle in the parking lot was locked, and many people left the keys in the ignition. In spite of all of this, there weren't any incidences of gun violence or school shootings at my school." "Hospital nurseries had a big glass window where people in the hall could see all of the babies. Each crib had an index card with the baby's info." "Back in the day, there were no baby carriers or car seats. We'd hold the baby in our arms without having seatbelts on ourselves. My family was lucky enough to get a car bed for my twin sisters. It looked like a bassinet without a base, with no way to secure it in the car. My older brother held it on the bench seat." "In the 1940s and early 1950s, ice cream was only sold in pint containers. It had to be consumed before it melted since refrigerators, still called ice boxes, were tiny and couldn't keep ice cream frozen. Someone would run over to the corner store for the ice cream, then it would be sliced to accommodate the number of people being served. The flavors were vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or Neapolitan." —Anonymous "Many of our mothers didn't have a driver's license, so things like dry cleaning were delivered to the house. Also, the ice cream truck would bring a horse around, and if we racked up enough points, we could trade the points in to ride the horse. I always looked forward to that!" "I was amazed that my daughter didn't know how to do a handstand. In the '60s and '70s, everyone had to do gymnastics in school — including the beam, pommel horse, and the rings. Everyone could do cartwheels, backbends, and walkovers. I guess they wanted to train us all for the Olympics!" "To call my girlfriend, who was only two houses away, I only had to dial four numbers. Those were simpler times." "We didn't have cell phones. If you were out, you had to have a dime and find a phone booth to make a call. If your car stalled and you were on the freeway, you had to walk to a help phone on the side of the road. This was in the '50s and '60s." —sweetscissors1247 "When you bought a ticket at a movie theater, it was general admission. There were no computers back then to print a movie title or theater number on a ticket, so you only received a stub. Most theaters only had one or two screens, so you could stay and watch a movie a second time, or go to the other room and watch that movie. We did this on very hot summer days. Sometimes, we'd be there for six hours! You just needed to remember to bring enough money to buy snacks." "We played in the sprinklers during the summer; it was a blast. We drank from the hose, and absolutely no one wore bicycle helmets. They just weren't a thing. There were no seatbelts or car seats, and if the cops busted a party, they'd just send everyone home. Birth control was also widely available." Lastly: "I grew up in the '80s, and I remember barely drinking any water. Kids today seem to always have a container of water with them and are likely much more hydrated, because when I was in elementary school, we had to wait until we were out of class and at a water fountain to drink. And if there was a line of other kids waiting by the fountain, they'd all count from, like, five seconds, and make the next person in line go. In high school, it wasn't much better. Even at football practice, we were rarely given water breaks. I guess it wasn't a priority to make sure everyone was properly hydrated. I just remember being thirsty a lot, I guess?" —metallictrash637 Did you guys really cut ice cream into slices like cake?! Wild. If you're an older adult, what was a common, everyday aspect from back in the day that would have young folks today extremely confused or taken aback?
