Dear readers,

That person that parked in the disabled spot and then walked into the store? Don’t be so quick to judge, they might have an invisible or hidden disability. You might not be able to see it, or it’s not immediately obvious, but it’s most likely there.

Sadly, the general human race isn’t as understanding as you, dear reader, and so as well as having to handle the consequences of whatever disability they have, these poor people also have to put up with idiots.

In solidarity with them, we have found 23 stories from our archives about people with invisible disabilities. We hope reading them puts their situation into perspective for you.

Can’t Handle A Car But Can Handle A Conversation – If they have to say “Oh, sorry, I didn’t know” then it’s already too late.

Their Sense Of Compassion Is Disabled – If entitlement was a disability…

Change The Stall, And Their Attitudes – Disabilities versus parenting.

Dear readers,

Remember the 3D movie craze? When every movie would boast about its third dimension and movie theaters would charge you extra for the privilege? As strange as it was, it was relatively simple; you put on the glasses, and the characters on the screen would occasionally throw things at you. This straightforward premise seems to have escaped some of the customers on this list.

We’ve rounded up 23 stories about some dimensionally-dim customers who couldn’t handle life in 3D… or in general.

A New Dimension of Stupidity – Listen to your girlfriend, buddy.

Missing Out On The Spectacle – Of course you’re not supposed to wear them; you’re supposed to eat them.

Get A Life – The wonderful world of windows.

Dear readers,

For our readers in the northern hemisphere, it’s summertime, and it is hot! In fact, this particular roundup exists because this particular editor is stuck in a heatwave with no AC, so here are 18 stories about people stuck in some hot weather, and those who rise (like the mercury in a thermometer) to the occasion, and those who fail miserably!

I Have An Ice Cream Dream – We like the way this kid thinks!

Kindness: It’s All In The Delivery – These kind people really kept their cool during a heatwave.

A Welcoming Heart-Warming During A Heatwave – The ice cream truck jingle inspires joy anywhere.

Dear readers,

Today is Thrift Shop Day! Whether it’s a charity shop, second-hand store, resale shop, consignment store, or hospice shop, they all provide wonderful value, ethical shopping, and a wide variety of items that are fun to browse. If it’s good enough for Macklemore then it’s good enough for us!

There are those, sadly, who do not see the benefit of the thrift store. Instead, they treat them as dumping grounds for unwanted junk, places they expect they can haggle, or even worse, get stuff for free (remember the charity bit?). Therefore, in honor of Thrift Shop Day, and in solidarity with all our readers who work or have worked in such places, we present for you 23 crazy stories about terrible thrift shop customers.

The Parrot Sketch, Part Two – Making the case for hazard pay, one wackadoodle at a time.

Ouch… Sorry, Fido – If I can’t enjoy animals, no one can!

Caught Red-Handed, Part 3 – Gotta love that instant Karma!

Dear readers,

There’s something so soothing about the sound of pens scrawling and papers shuffling in a spacious, sparse space. We don’t know about you, but these days, we’re so hot and so bored it that almost sounds like fun to go down to the local bank to people-watch and enjoy some air conditioning.

In the interest of social distancing (and not getting arrested for loitering), we’ve decided not to do that. Instead, we’ve dug 23 stories out of our archives that show some of the strange and irritating people that you may spot at the bank!

A Fee(ble) Excuse – Why do you think they have these fees? Learn from this!

Cold Hard Cash Meets The Cold Hard Truth – You don’t really know how banks work, do you?

You’re Supposed To Protect My Money From Myself! – Seriously, the fees exist for a reason.
