creepy

As much as we'd all like to think we're perfectly rational, we're all creatures of suspicion and superstition. Sometimes we see strange events that we can't logically explain like having some weird premonition or out-of-body experience, and all we're left to do is sit there and go "alright, that was weird. People aren't going to believe this."

We live in a world of unconventional hazards. It might seem cartoonish to think that you might get hit by a propeller, get bit by a plague-carrying rodent or fall down a hidden mineshaft. If those weren't things that could happen, we wouldn't need ominous signs that mean serious business. While sometimes horribly weird and unsettling, these creepy and ominous signs are doing their job.

Knowledge is power, and some weird knowledge has the power to alienate strangers. Knowing how bleak, desolate, painful and precarious the world is can be a lot to handle, but it might make people think you're smart. That's kinda cool, right? Some facts are too sad, which is why it also helps to know wild sex facts to quote during an awkward silence.

There are moments in our lives when, despite everyone's best efforts to keep us around, the benefits clearly don't outweigh the risks, and we have that freeing moment when we realize we can just leave. It can be a bad job or sketchy situation. Sometimes it just take a "screw this, I'm out" moment for us to notice that it's probably a better idea to set out for greener pastures.

Ugh, there's a moment of shimmering hope in this Twitter thread when you almost think that strange old dude who showed up for the clothes dryer wasn't going to be a piece of garbage, but then boom, he's disgusting. We can only imagine what kind of emotional scarring was left from this terribly creepy encounter. The fact that the dude showed up at her house drunk again (late at night), adds a whole another layer of creepy stalker vibes to this thread. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the freakiest things that night time workers ever witnessed while on the job. There's something about night time that's always managed to bring out the craziest parts about this reality that we all share. Definitely gotta keep a watchful eye out if it's a full moon as well. 

The world is full of unforeseen hazards, and we can thank creepy sign makers for clueing the rest of us in on all the junk we could step into. Spooky signs say a lot with their creepiness and sometimes the sign itself is scarier than the danger. That said most of us would prefer not to fall into a radioactive mine shaft so we can thank these spooky signs even if they're too dang scary.

There's something just plain old spooky about discovering a hidden staircase or suspect deadbolt that someone at some point in history went out of their way to hide from everyone. In this case, we're encouraged by the fact that those scratch marks apparently indicate this was likely some tomfoolery.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck drivers' creepiest experiences from their time out on the road. Turns out if you spend enough time out on the road, you're bound to encounter some especially spooky phenomenon. 

Man oh man, this AskReddit thread is just in time for spooky season. It's all about the creepiest experiences that midnight shift workers have had while on the job. Let's just say that it's threads like these that lead us to believe that there's a whole lot more scary stuff going on in the world than we'll ever fully grasp.

We tend to overlook the power of trees. Most of the time they just stand there, not bothering anyone. But given enough time, a hungry tree can envelope tons of stuff. Trees will munch on mailboxes. old toys, signs, and just about anything they can get their limbs on.

Ah yes, leave it to the brilliant minds of Tumblr to take us down a rabbit hole about how plants can genuinely wage war against the rest of the world. In this case, we're talking about the kudzu. The kudzu plants would fit right into a horror novel. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the still-on submarines. 

Some are funny, some are sad, some are funny and sad. The world is a funny and sad place, and the context of dating only raises the stakes. Here's what people said that sometimes worked but mostly didn't work in the moments that counted. Check these out or these if you wanna see more priceless Tinder moments. 

Most little girls grew up with a Barbie or two (or fifteen in my case), and for many, it was their gateway into the world of makebelieve. Artists worldwide are using Barbie to inspire their creativity, but one has taken it to a potentially dark place. Jewelry designer Margaux Lange has created a Plastic Body Series art jewelry collection, in which she uses salvaged Barbie doll body parts combined with sterling silver and pigmented resins. According to her website, "The series is a result of Lange's desire to re-purpose mass-produced materials into handmade, wearable art. It is meant to examine and celebrate her own (as well as pop culture's) relationship with the icon known simply as: Barbie." I can't work out if it's beautiful or slightly serial-killer-esque. What do you think?

Sappy relationship posts are some of the more nauseating things you come across on the web. These relentlessly sarcastic (and often f-cked up) parody posts are the perfect way to wash your eyes of that corny crap. Who needs flowers and Instagram filters, lets get some real couples up in this b--ch. Those who are looking for more Hallmark cards to send to their significant other are in the wrong place.

More Relationship Memes?

Want to know everything and anything there is to know about couples' intimacy? Then I suggest you read a book. But these sexual relationship memes or these regular relationship memes will definitely get you on the right track. Or just check out even more dark and dirty relationship memes to get the low down on the rest. And finally some spicy relationship memes for the extra flavor.

There are many hazards in this world, and appropriately there are many ominous signs that speak the language of fear. You never know it there could be some hidden mine shaft or risk of monkey attack. Whether they're warning of some totally extreme danger or their scary in their own right, it's usually best to pay attention to spooky signs.
