For the most part, life is fairly predictable. You can go about your daily routine with almost no hiccups, which is why we’re caught off guard when something wildly unhinged happens.

They can be a chain of events so ridiculous they sound like fiction. It may urge you to vent about them to make sense of what happened , or simply confirm you’re not the only person baffled by the absurdity.

That’s what the Rant subreddit is for, and the name alone says it all. But here are some posts from the page to give you a clearer idea.

I work in a hospital as security. Today one of the other guards came across a lady scolding her chihuahua for s****ing on the floor. She cleaned it up and we contacted housekeeping to sanitizer that section of carpet. Before anyone leaps in with 'Service Animals' and invisible disabilities, no, the rodent sized creature wearing a Bejeweled collar while shaking and s***ting on the floor was not a service animal. It was a purse accessory. I don't care if it's your 'precious baby's stop bringing your dogs into restaurants, grocery stores, and for absolute f***s sake don't bring them into a hospital.

It’s always the same about how they have no clue what they want, and have no life experiences. No s**t. You’re a 25 year old man spawn camping 18 year olds on their first week out of high school. When I tell him to just date a woman our age, he tells me the vast majority of us are too cynical, hypergamous and “used”. He was an upstanding guy until his ex broke up with him a month ago, then he suddenly decided he’ll have nothing to do with any woman who has been on this earth before 2006. I’m so tired and grossed out hearing him talk about how 18 year old's willing to cut off their friends to prove their loyalty to him. How quick they are to want to marry or get in a committed relationship with him just because he buys them a small trinket. I’ve tried to tell him he’s taking advantage of their naivety and that deep down, he knows that what he’s doing is wrong. But I’m starting to think I’m wrong about him, and I just want to walk away from it all. He really was a cool dude, and so kind. Edit: everyone here defending his behavior or saying my issues are about the age gap are missing the point. If I love-bombed a bunch of lonely men at the same time, promising to be their wife to use them for free meals with no intention of committing, you guys would 100% accuse me of being a manipulative gold-digger. Keep the same energy.

So if you’re not familiar with hinge it’s a dating site, I’m 21F I get likes from older men all the time and recently I’ve come to catch that a lot of them would lie about their age and remove 10-15 years and I snoop and later find out. so today I got a like from an older guy age was displayed 43 and he looks wayyy older so I just accepted him, I was bored and I messaged “who do you expect to believe you’re 43” then he goes on to say he is actually 43 and turns 44 in October. I just can’t believe it so I search him up and truth is HE’S not 43 like initially figured. So then Instead of calling him out I just messaged him and said “haha that’s so funny because I’m 41” after he read my message he asked “but you’re profile says 21” I didn’t respond but 5 minutes later he unmatched😭😭 To me this just affirms the manipulation narrative that these men really are looking for young girls because it’s easier to manipulate then older women because let’s say I was 41 I still looked the same on my profile so it’s not the “young women look better” narrative. Also it’s not about fertility because on his profile it says “has kids” and “want no more kids”. He already started off his message trying to manipulate me into thinking he was 43 and he’s not the only older man on these apps doing this. What is wrong with these older men.

My mom makes it really hard to love her. She put me and my siblings through so much a***e and neglect as children. Some of the situations we were in would be a news headline today. Well she was talking about how she has 4 kids and didn’t have to potty train a single one of us. She has talked about this so much. I finally snapped on her and told her having 4 kids and not raising a single one is not something to be proud of. Nobody cares that she let me and my sister sit in diapers until kindergarten where the teachers potty trained us. Nobody thinks it’s cool that she let my little brother wear diapers till he was 5 because she had a “personal diaper changer” (me and my sister). Until my grandma finally potty trained him. And lastly nobody thinks it’s cool she lost all of us to foster care before my youngest brother could be potty trained. Nobody cares and I don’t know a single person who would actually think it’s cool except for her. She’s now a victim and says we all turned out OK so she must of did something right.

WE DON’T AGREE ON YOUR RACIST F**KIN OPINIONS AND STOP. ASSUMING. THAT. I DO. BECAUSE. I LOOK. LIKE YOU!!!! I am so. F**king. SICK of people assuming that I hold the same discriminatory opinions that they do based on the way that I look. Deep South healthcare worker here, and problematic patients as well as overworked (or lazy, checked out) coworkers are rampant. Which I can deal with, it’s the normal since Covid. What I (white blonde female late 20s) can’t deal with are primarily fellow white females, of all ages, behind closed doors assuming that because I look like them that they can let all the fucking disgusting words roll out of their mouth, thinking that I will listen to it, or worse, agree with them. They don’t even lead with “I don’t mean to be racist, but” they just say this ugly s**t to me assuming that it is a safe space because we look similarly. No, I don’t wanna hear your f**king opinion about “The Blacks” or “The Mexicans” THEY ARE HISPANICS NOT MEXICANS UNTIL OTHERWISE CLARIFIED. People of ALL COLORS deserve the SAME quality of treatment! It doesn’t matter their level of education, their insurance status, or personal bias. It doesn’t even matter if they are rude. This word vomit s**t has happened too many times. Someone I thought was a good person, a good HCW, then the door shuts and I hear a comment like “If they don’t like it, they should just go back to Africa! You know what I mean?” Are you kidding me? You stupid racist F**K. Someone ACTUALLY SAID THIS TO ME. On top of their vile discriminatory comments, it is also low key racist to assume that Becky will agree with you because she looks like you. Get the f**k out of here, you make my race a f**king embarrassment. I am so glad that my parents put me in immersion school so that I grew up being usually the only white girl in the class until mid-high school. So glad they taught me right. Racist f**ks: keep your mouths shut around me. I don’t want to hear it and WE DO NOT AGREE.
