It’s time for the July roundup! We know we’re late this month, but we’ve been busy introducing some new features to the site, and we wanted to get some input from our readers, as well as the editors, to decide which stories in July deserve the extra attention of the monthly roundup, regardless of the number of thumbs-ups they received. Out of all the stories we posted in the month, we’ve singled out twenty-five!

If there are any stories from the last month you feel we should have included, please let us know in the comments!

Wait Until You Hear What She Does With “War Horse” – Hits from our resident comment section pun master: “That’s a horse, not an a**.”

Surly Supervisors Surely Suffer – Try treating your employees like people next time.

Soccer Is Always Bloodiest When Parents Get Involved – Hits from the comments: “Let’s hear it for apples that somehow manage to fall far from the tree.”

Dear readers,

Bzzzzzzz… Today is World Mosquito Day! This “holiday” was founded in 1902 by Nobel Prize winner Sir Ronald Ross, who proved that mosquitos transmit malaria. Turns out, those annoying little insects are not only incredibly irritating but dangerous, too! This day is meant to draw awareness to the danger of mosquitos and the ways you can prevent falling into their dastardly clutches.

And for us here at NAR, it means another excuse to make a weirdly specific roundup! Never ones to pass up on that kind of opportunity, we’ve rounded up 13 stories about the world’s most annoying insects: mosquitos!

Mosquitoes Are Satan’s Creation – This is so relatable.

She’s Not The Brightest Spark – Better a smarta** than a dumba**!

Silent Letters Bug Me – Honestly, this is how I say it in my head to remember how to spell it.

Dear readers,

We’ve brought you a couple of roundups already about the craziness that happens in coffee shops. But anyone who’s spent any time in a coffee shop (or on this website!) knows that the supply of entitled customers and clueless employees never dries up.

Grab yourself a double-mocha caramel frappucino, sit down, and enjoy these 14 stories from our archives about chaos at the coffee shop!

People Who Have To Say They Are Fancy Aren’t – We wish this jerk would find somewhere fancier… and far, far away.

Not Espressing The Order Correctly – This story is so exhausting I think I need another cup of coffee.

Karma Has No Expiry Date – Instant Karma will come back to bite her in the a** – literally, we hope.

Dear readers,

There is a time and place for everything, and foul language is no exception. The trick, however, is knowing when and where that is. Front row at a metal festival as Slipknot takes the stage? Perfect time to scream, “F*** YEAH!” at the top of your lungs. Just bit your tongue at Sunday lunch with your grandma-in-law? Probably best to opt for, “Oh, pickles,” instead of, “Ah, s***.”

Last December, we brought you a roundup about customers who couldn’t stop swearing. Today, we’re bringing you ten more stories from our archives about people who use profanity like punctuation!

Children Of The Scorn – And just where did you learn language like that, young lady?

Checking Him In And Checking Her Out – Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences!

A Cleaner With A Dirty Attitude – “F*** you! I’m not swearing!” I’m sorry, what?!

Dear readers,

Last October, we brought you a roundup about visiting the eye doctor. Now, it’s National Eye Exam Month, and we’re celebrating this health-focused month with 10 more stories from our archives about visits to the eye doctor that’ll make your eyes pop right out of your head!

Catoptrophobia – Someone’s seen the Bloody Mary episode of Supernatural one too many times.

Makes You Wish You Could Just Die(late) – The words, “It’s none of your business,” would’ve been useful here.

Not Seeing Eye To Eye, Part 5 – I’m not crying. My eyes are just watering in sympathy!
