35 Online Posts About Unhinged Situations That Aged Better Than Expected

Published 3 hours ago

We’ve all had times when everything feels like it’s spiralling out of control and we’re just doing our best to make sense of it. But when we look back, it’s often easier to take a self‑deprecating view and see the humour in what happened. Even if it didn’t feel funny at the time, being able to laugh is a powerful way to loosen the grip of shame or pain around those memories.

With that in mind, we’ve gathered a collection of hilarious posts about messy, awkward, and even scary moments that made people cringe back then but now make for great inside jokes, especially for those who use dark humour as a coping mechanism. Because let’s face it, life has a way of swinging from dire and mortifying to silly and laughable once you gain some perspective, so rather than fight it, you might as well embrace it.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
