15 Photos of People who Really Could Have Used Spellcheck

There are people who are good at spelling and people who struggle – just like with math, it seems to be a skill that comes naturally to some and not so much to others.

With the advent of spellcheck (and, you know, the fact that most people have Google at their fingertips at all time), spelling errors are less and less common (at least on public signage).

Which is all to say, these 15 people decided they just really, really didn’t care. At all.

This Dog Is Trained to Respond to ‘Harry Potter’ Spells

Everyone who owns a dog trains them to do something at some point – unless you’re like me, and just let your dog do whatever it wants and then get mad when it doesn’t know how to do stuff.  Some people get super into it and do wacky things like train their dog to respond to commands in German.

And some people are super awesome and train their adorable Dachshund puppy to respond appropriately to the spells from Harry Potter. 

Meet Remus, the adorable Dachshund puppy in question.

30 of the Weirdest SFW Things People Have Had to Google

One of the most unusual freelance writing assignments I’ve ever received was a series of shows for an annual Zoo Fundraiser event. They were infotainment sketch shows about the strange ways that certain animals mate.

I’m not a biologist, so I had to look up and double check all my information before I could write a scene around it.

Annually, my Google history was full of bizarre queries regarding animal s**. I’d probably have died of embarrassment had anyone saw.

What’s something SFW that you’re embarrassed to have in your google search history? from AskReddit

Which brings us to this prompt on Reddit. What have we been searching for that we maybe wish we hadn’t?

1. But why?

I used to repeatedly search “sharks with braces” to the point where it automatically recommended it when I started typing “s” in the search bar.

– _world-domination_

2. Interesting!

“Were beaver fish in the middle ages?”

Sounds profoundly stupid, but there’s a reason. The monks started classifying all kinds of animals as “fish” so they could bend lent rules and eat meat.

– Beer_Doctor

3. Doesn’t add up.

Calculator history.
what’s 6×6?

– Mini_Cheesecakes

4. Classic spell check.

How to spell simple words like “penguin” so that I don’t look like an idiot to my 6yo who I’m home schooling in lockdown.

– Analyst_Rude

5. Dark places.

When I worked a mental health-related job, I was always googling things like “sexual abuse of children,” “suicidal ideation,” “self harm” as well as many commonly used psychotropic meds and common street drugs.

All work-related searches.

– Sublingua

6. Web M.D.

“Inserts symptoms exacerbated by anxiety and boredom…
am I going blind? Am I losing my mind? Am I going to die soon and or irreversibly destroy my health?”

Nope, just getting old.

– k4Anarky

7. Hot takes.

The amount of times I’ve had to look up the boiling time for hardboiled eggs is pretty embarrassing.

– RustyCopal

8. Yes.

Lol this was about 3 years ago ‘ive drank 12 cups of coffee in 3 hours, will I die’

– alongusername101

9. That’s amore.

Why does the moon have teeth?

I forgot to clarify in the search “the moon from Soul Eater” and if anyone reads that they’ll think I’m insane

– Zoology_Tome

10. That bites.

I saw a feature on the news about women with an underbite. It mentioned how some men actually find it particularly attractive.
Curiously, I googled ‘attractive women with an underbite’.

The one, one time, my girlfriend wants to use my phone that Google and those search results spring straight up in chrome.

Now she thinks I have a fetish. 🤷‍♂️

– CodyDogg

11. Dun dun!

True crime junkie here, and I shudder to think what people would think if they saw my browser history composed of blood splatter information, how deep a certain knife can cut, etc etc

– hehadsomehorses

12. …what?

“Can babies see through their soft spot”

I’m pretty sure the answer to this is no, but I wanted to see if maybe there was an obscure study showing that in fact they had intracranial photoreceptors which could in theory be activated by light traveling through the fontanel, and in retrospect this is such a stupid idea that I feel bad wasting my employer’s time looking up the answer on Google.

– ThadisJones

13. The olden days.

I’ve talked about this before, but I used to work for kgbkgb, which was this text messaging service where you could text a number, ask any question, and get an answer. This was before smartphones became super huge, so it was a bit of a helpful gimmick back then.

However, for everyone that we got asking normal questions like movie times, or what restaurants were open near them, or stuff like that, we got A LOT more people asking very stupid things that I would have to Google. I have this album of a bunch of weird questions that people sent to us.

It was an interesting job that helped cover some things when I was in college, but it had me using Google for a lot of weird and embarrassing things.

– -eDgAR-

14. Memory is hard.

I’m a protein biochemist, but I still need to look up the 20 amino acid structures half the time.

I memorised them all for an undergrad exam, but have since forgotten them, as in the real world I can always look them up.

Also, the correct spelling of derailleur (part of a bike that changes the gears).

– twowheeledfun

15. Inception.

“Google”

– chrolloPT

16. Makes sense.

How many times I’ve had to google “child enemas”.

My son has a colon condition, but man it would be awkward explaining it all.

– alwaysiamdead

17. Knowledge is power!

What does (insert word) mean

– prase0dym

People I know. I don’t do it often but it always feels like snooping.

19. Phrasing!

I was wondering who played the Russian guy in the movie Snatch so googled “Russian Snatch”.

– regulardave9999

20. Wed. Nes. Day.

always typing in Wednesday.

Just to make sure I spell it right.

– keindankeanke

21. With friends like these…

My friend and I are both a wealth of random, useless facts a few weeks ago he told me that if you rub pork fat on a cat’s lips the cat would whistle, and there was lots of videos of it on YouTube, like an idiot I fell for it and googled “cat whistling with pork fat on lips”

– yuckyfingers

22. Godspeed.

“how many kgs of blueberry cheese danish can I eat without getting diabetes”

I had to go look at my search history to for this question and I have no recollection of ever searching this up but it was there.

– draconicblur

23. I crave the lasagna.

“What is the name of the cat in Garfield”

– MickzzzBoi

24. Dream on.

Houses on Zillow.

Particularly in odd areas where there happens to be homes for sale.

I just look at them, with absolutely zero intention of buying it.

– willybean08

25. Hedge money?

How to pronounce hegemony.

Turns out I’ve been saying it wrong my whole life! Good thing it doesn’t come up much.

– Veritas3333

26. Unfortunate letters.

There’s a company that makes fire proofing material called STI.

I googled that and immediately regretted it.

– siegetip

27. False dichotomy.

I was helping clean out my grandparent’s estate last week, and I decided it was worth googling “vintage vibrator or curling iron?” before I went any further into their bathroom closet.

Spoiler Alert: It was a curling iron.

– NeedsMoreTuba

28. Sitting for dummies.

“How to sit on a couch correctly”

I have back pain and I feel like my couch sitting skills need to improve, but I still feel like a dummy for googling it.

– paperbackella

29. Game on!

My husband and I play this strange game where we ask each other random questions.

We guess at the answers and then look it up to see if either of us are close.

We’ve recently discovered that birds don’t fart but it’s very likely that spiders do!!

Lol our search histories would be quite comical at times.

– MommaStlouis

30. Well that seems unnecessary.

30 Times People Really, REALLY Regretted Spending that Money

You ever click “buy” on something and immediately feel guilty for it? Then you tell yourself, “Well, it’s not too late. The order hasn’t been processed yet. Surely I can just tell them to cancel it…undo my egregiously irresponsible mistake…”

But then you just stare at the screen, and you realize; you’re not gonna click cancel. You’re buying this thing, d**mit. And nobody’s gonna stop you. We’ve all made dumb purchases. From the time when we were just kids to, like, yesterday.

Just ask the 18,000 or so people who responded to this question on r/AskReddit by user 3VD:

What’s one of the dumbest things you’ve ever spent money on? from AskReddit

Here are just a few of the greatest hits (via the people of Reddit) from the massive thread that ensued:

1. When the internet was young, sometimes we’d buy CDs over the phone.

I was drunk and bought Monster Ballads off an infomercial.

And I paid an extra $20 for rush delivery, because I was drunk and needed it asap, and it showed up a month later.

– TheDandyWarhol

2. Always be careful when someone is selling you a way to make money.

There was this guy named Don Lapre who sold money making kits. Like how to make money with classified ads.

I think I “invested” about $350 and received literally nothing of value.

I was young(er) and being stupid.

Looked him up tonight to remember how to spell his name. Turns out he killed himself with a razor blade while in jail in 2011.

– fishintheboat

3. I sympathize with this guy’s particularly bad car luck.

When I was 19, I got a construction job that paid fairly well. Stupid me got all hot and horny for a fun car.

I signed up for a 5 year loan after test driving the first one. I ended up having engine failure almost 2 years later.

Because it was a used car and from a shady used car dealer, the warranty was well expired.

I couldn’t afford to get a new engine for it so I ended paying over 3 years for a car that I wasn’t driving.

– corneliusthunderfoot

4. This story is just weird in a way I can’t put my finger on.

This past Christmas Eve I was doing some last minute shopping and came across a wine glass shaped like Buddy from the movie ‘Elf’ which of course also had Will Ferell’s face on it. With everything kinda being out of order with the holiday rush I didn’t know how much it cost, but I bought it on pure impulse because I thought it was funny.

It wasn’t until I left the store and looked at the receipt did I realize that it cost 22 dollars, which is way more than it’s worth.

To remind me of my mistake, I now drink out of that glass exclusively and have been for the past 5 months, I have to wash it like twice a day but I won’t stop using it until I feel like I’ve gotten my 22 dollars worth

– JustSarver

5. Remember: cars are for travel, they are not toys.

Most expensive dumb thing?

A Mercedes 500SEL.

Literally bankrupt myself buying parts and gas for that f**king land yacht. Sold it for half what I paid and felt lucky to be rid of it.

– PM-ME-PO-TA-TOES

6. All theme park stuff is a scam.

I spent $40 one of those amusement park booths where you had to throw darts at balloons.

For some reason, I picked out this really ugly 7ft tall frog stuffed animal.

It’s in the corner of my closet and still scares me when I’m half awake in the morning.

– -ariose-

7. Drunken weaponry. What could go wrong?

Got drunk and started ordering Ninja gear off of Amazon and forgot about it until it showed up like a week later.

Swords, nunchucks, a suit and mask.

– CeeArthur

8. You have dishonored your ancestors.

I was just a few weeks out of basic training and bought one of those family lineage with the shields on it and description.

I blew $500 or so bucks just to find out it wasn’t even accurate.

– th3_warth0g

9. This one is from a world we’d all forgotten…

Shamwow. I mean, it’s got “sham” right there in the name.

But I wanted to support Vince from Shamwow’s crusade against Scientology.

– tellincob

10. It’s disheartening how many people answered like this:

Big Wedding…all that money…could’ve helped so many problems we had later….divorced anyway.

– John-Uskglass

11. You can get into trouble if you always try to play it by ear.

I bought a ‘make it yourself’ music box, with a series of cards to punch out the notes and then insert so you can play whatever tune you want.

Thought I could make my GF a special gift, then I realised that I cant read music and when I tried to punch it by ear it sounded bloody awful.

– LifeIsBizarre

12. Delivery fees are gonna getcha.

10$+ delivery fee for a 6-8$ meal

– _M4gician_

13. Some purchases come with lessons that are obvious in retrospect.

I once bought my girlfriend a hat and had her name embroidered on it.

She asked me if I would ever wear a shirt with my name on it.

I would not.

– armen89

14. I need to know more about this person’s life.

This year I paid $60 for a Shrek action figure wearing a Nascar racing suit at a thrift store

– Almost_A_Pear

15. Some purchases are always a bad idea.

I bought a timeshare.

– Dyspaereunia

16. The 3 year old super-salesman.

Not me but I sold a kid, that was twice my age, some gravel for 1€ as a 3y/o.

His mom was angry as hell

– Marald4ever

17. The preteen Pokemon poser.

I bought like a $100 (USD) Raichu holographic / Japanese Team Rocket Pokemon Card when I was maybe 8-10, using my allowance for it.

I never played Pokemon, just collected the cards because they looked cool. I still get teased from my family, 15+ years later

– DrunkenBastard1639

18. The elementary school spray tanner:

In elementary a kid called me pale. So I went to Walmart and bought spray tan. My dad thought it was sun block.

My sister knew what it was but didn’t say anything cause she was just gonna sit back and watch how this plays out.

I went in and out of the bathroom multiple times that day continuously reapplying before my sister decided it was time to tell my dad.

I went through half the can in a day and was more orange than a Oompa Loompa.

– guywhol1kesp1e

19. Maybe a budding entomologist?

My family visited Colorado when I was 10 and I saw a statue of a Mosquito in a gift shop with the words “State Bird” on the bottom and begged my parents for it

We now have a rather large mosquito statue on our piano

– FriedEggRolll

20. This little piggy went to market.

I was 11 and my dad gave me 50 bucks to spend at the mall. So, I wandered into a gift shop and spent it all on an electronic vibrating oinking pink pig.

I never played with it after I brought it home.

Tried to return it, only to be offered store credit.

– TheQueensBishop

21. Traveler beware.

When I went on a school field trip to Washington DC back in middle school, I bought a $2 bill at a souvenir shop for $20. smh

– ogkudo

22. Some kinda amatuer historian over here.

I was at the Russian exhibit at Expo ’86. My parents gave me a $20 bill and said spend $10.

I bought $20 worth of Russian newspapers. To this day I still don’t know what the flying f**k I was thinking.

– frustrated_ape

23. If music be the food of love…

A CD of Mickey Mouse Rapping I bought in the 6th grade. Will never live it down with my cousins.

I’m 37 and it’s one of my biggest regrets.

– breezy83

24. Guess you could call them a sock hopper.

When I was like 14 I bought a pack of intentionally mismatched socks that were really expensive.

Like, only one of each pattern. Could have bought twice as many normal socks and just mismatched them myself.

– virgo-punk

25. You’ve got quite a wrap career ahead of you.

My buddy and I decided to saran wrap another friends car shut. Mind you, this was 1999.

Do you have any idea how much saran wrap $37 buys you in 1999?

My buddy’s parents are still using the leftovers to this day.

– R0gueB4anner

26. Mad as a hatter.

I went on a cross-country car trip with my family when I was 17.

We hit Nashville, Tennessee heading out and I knew we were going to be going through it again on the way back home.

While browsing through a store I saw this hat. It was a black, mesh, top hat with red flowers and fake beads on it.

It was used and dusty and I absolutely had to have it.

But we were near the beginning of the trip and I only had $50 spending money so I didn’t want to waste my money buying a hat.

But I didn’t stop thinking about it and when we got back to Nashville, I’d saved $10. I went into the store and I bought this dusty, used, stupid hat.

I was so happy I wore it every day for the rest of the trip. The day after we got home, my dog chewed it to shreds.

– daisy0723

27. The college-asaurus.

Got that inflatable dinosaur costume.

Wore it once around my campus and now I forgot where it is

– ReasonableBeep

2 different university degrees (Business Administration and Economics). Alas.

– Xylitolisbadforyou

29. Hey, lego head.

I just spent $250 on the 1989 Batmobile Lego set, arrived today.

Part of me is excited to build it. However the other side just thinks “what are you doing you’re a 27 year old man spending money on Legos during a pandemic”.

But still excited to build tomorrow.

– captainWaffles01

30. We’re all children at heart.

I’m 53 years old and I still spend $40 to $70 a pop for 1:400 scale die cast model airliners.

Got a wife and a mortgage and two preteen grandgirls we raise, plus a nasty orchestral clarinetting habit to support… and I still cherish the thrill these little planes give me of remembering that day when I was 12 flying into LAX and seeing those giant jets from exotic corners of the world.

– ccguy

If I remember my Sunday school right, I think there’s something in the Bible along the lines of “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Or was it partied? Either way, it definitely rings true.

Women Share The Weirdest Reasons They’ve Let a Guy Go

The dating world is always weird, and there are a million reasons things might not work out.

But some are…a little less weighty than others.

What was the pettiest reason you refused to date someone? from AskReddit

Here’s what Redditors had to say about guys in particular they left by the wayside, and the strange little reasons why.

1. Politically Illiterate

He stared at me blankly when I said the word “republican” when describing one of my family members.

I followed up and sure enough, he literally had no idea what the word republican meant and didn’t know about our largely two-party system.

He was in his late 20’s.

If you’re not into politics, that’s one thing, but he had managed to live nearly three decades in our country without knowing basic information about our political system. My brain could not comprehend and I worried about what other basic information he had managed to avoid was. ‘Twas a hard no on my end.

– DuchessOfTears

2. Do you even lift, bro?

He didn’t re-rack his weights.

I will never, for the life of me, understand why people don’t return/re-rack their weights

– pharmdap

3. The Drink Hunter

Went on a first date to the movies. This f**king guy…instead of picking up his drink and lifting the straw to his mouth, he would put his hands on his knees, keeping his eyes on the screen, and lean over to the drink and ‘hunt’ for the straw with his face and his mouth contorted sideways trying to land on the straw.

Weirdest s**t ever

– Pocketeer1

4. The Ad Addict

I went out on a few dates with a guy that I had been really into for months. I was starting to realize he wasn’t the brightest bulb in the room.

Then one day he said he liked watching commercials on TV and that was that.

5. The Better Angles of Our Nature

He would call me his “beautiful angle”. He really didn’t know how to spell angel so for 5 months I put up with being an angle.

Also dated a guy who wanted to put a single-wide trailer on his parent’s front lawn and thought I was unreasonable for not wanting to move in with him once he did so.

6. The Piece

He wore a Bluetooth piece in his ear.

The constant blue light blinking from the side of his head was too much for me.

Another guy would text “dame” instead of “d**n”. It wasn’t a typo either, it was every time.

7. The Jacket Jerk

He was wearing a hideous brown fake leather jacket, it was so old that the ‘leather’ had started to flake off and parts were just now canvas.

He kept stopping to look at himself in windows and saying ‘oh god I look so hot today’ ‘I just can’t believe how hot I look’ smoothing down his manky jacket, side eyeing me, expecting me to agree with him.

I left so he could be alone with his jacket.

8. Capital Offenses

All The Words In Every Text He Sent Were Capitalised.

Trust Me, It Got ANNOYING.

9. Strapping Young Lad

My mom stopped dating a guy because he unfastened and refastened the velcro on his shoes throughout an entire movie.

Edit- at the movie theater.

10. A Clean Break

I was the receiver of the petty reason, not the giver. When I was in college, a girl wouldn’t go on a second date with me because my dorm room was too clean.

(edit to add: what I got told by a mutual friend was that because my room was clean, it had to mean that I was gay so she wouldn’t date me)

11. What’s in a name?

Had the same first name as my brother and father.

12. Pocket Pals

Not me, but someone I worked with refused to date this very handsome, successful and kind man because “he has too many things in his pockets”

13. No Laughing Matter

His laugh. It was the weirdest sounding laugh I’ve ever heard.

The first time I heard it I was like “Nope, can’t deal with that for the rest of my life”.

14. The Mimic

He tried to say what I was saying… as in at the same time. He started mouthing it and then slowly including more and more voice.

I would stop talking and start again…. he mimicked the whole time

15. Trivial Pursuits

He was awful in a trivia game we were playing.

I mean, really bad, like it was his first day pretending to be a human on Earth and the aliens hadn’t briefed him sufficiently.

Honestly I…don’t blame anybody for any of those. Good call.

What’s a petty or strange reason you stopped dating someone?
