If you've been following us for a while, you'll know we're fans of the Instagram account Overheard in LA; the platform dedicated to documenting the ridiculous things overheard in LA and its trendy neighborhoods. The page is essentially a collection of fragments of actual eavesdropped conversations that people submit, which mocks the Instagram culture that seems to now be so deeply embedded into the average Angeleno. The snippets of conversation are hilarious, if not ridiculous, and so here is a fresh new batch of some of the things Angelenos have been overheard saying. You can thank me later.

Hinge, OkCupid, Bumble, Tinder, Eharmony, Coffee Meets Bagel, Ship - the building blocks for the rollercoaster that is the dating app sphere. And what a wild, shitty ride it is. 

If your dating life is as much of a hot mess as my own, you've been downloading, deleting, and redownloading the apps since the beginning of time. Like many things in life, it has turned into a routine that I have come to despise. Alas, the quest for love always keeps me coming back for more. Because I've become so intertwined with the apps, I have inevitably become intertwined with the guys featured on the apps, and they will always have a special place in my digital heart. To all the boys I've swiped right (or left) on before, this one's for y'all.

We all know that porn is designed with a particular purpose in mind, and it does the job pretty well. But when it comes to porn, the only thing we care about on this platform is the humor that comes with it, and it turns out, if you read the comments on porn websites, there's some pretty funny stuff! Leaving aside the question of what sort of person comments on porn websites at all, nestled among the less tasteful comments, are some real gems. A collection of screenshots from Pornhub show the types of weird and random comments people leave. From critical analyses of camera angling to asking for recipes and explaining how unrealistic certain things are (duh, it's porn!), they are hilarious to read and bring somewhat of a human element to an otherwise pretty heartless industry.

Writing a dating profile can be a daunting task. How is one to accurately describe the fabulousness of their personality within 100-300 characters? Unfortunately, we don't have the answer to that. However, we DO have a list of overused dating profile phrases that should be deleted immediately. Here are the most annoying dating profile cliches according to our readers, brought to you by The Single Society.

At this point in history, we're all well aware that life is a total hot mess. All of us have hopes and dreams, with no idea how to accomplish them. All of us have struggles and problems, with no idea how to solve them.

People who have not slept with a member of the opposite sex will always wonder what it's like. Whether it's because they haven't managed to get lucky yet, they swing the other way, or they choose to live a life of abstinence, it will forever remain a mystery. The only way to somewhat understand what it's like is to ask people who have had the experience, which is precisely what one TikToker did.

Marissa Wilkes created a video on TikTok, explaining, "As a woman loving woman who has never been with a guy, I'm curious. Ladies, what is it like to sleep with a guy? Especially the ladies that also like the ladies that have been with men. Please, be brutally, brutally honest." Let's just say, her followers did not disappoint. They brutally roasted men, coming up with analogies that are harsh enough to make most men crawl into their man caves and never come out again. Scroll through and read the hilarious reviews left by these unsatisfied ladies left.

Everyone remembers their sex-ed in school. Or, in some people's cases, their lack thereof. Whether it consisted of your PE teacher awkwardly putting a condom on a banana or your biology teacher told you that sexual contact of any kind was a sin that you'll burn in hell for, I'm betting it was pretty uncomfortable. These real, sex-ed horror stories from students and teachers show how painfully awkward the topic is and how wrongly schools teach their students such an important issue.

Just another round up of some insanely relatable tweets on what it means and feels like to be an adult. Don't worry too much though, we're all miserable together. 

Hope that helps! 

If there's one thing I miss about the pre-Rona era, it's the legendary music festival. There's nothing I love more than paying a questionable amount to become an integral part of a mass of pulsating, sweaty bodies for several hours - or even several days. I mean, social distancing has nothing on that type of life-changing experience.

Of course, the men I met there also left a mark on my generally pure, unblemished life. Cheezcake ladies - here's the best of the guys you'll meet at music festivals.

Sometimes the least funny situations are the ones we laugh in the most. Whether it's nervous laughter or just a poorly judged situation, we've all laughed at inappropriate times. An AskReddit thread revealed some of the most inappropriate times people have laughed, and some of them are just too painful to read! 

Much like approaching someone in a bar, dating apps leave you vulnerable to all sorts of rejection. Whether the person you've matched with straight-up ignores your messages, or they reply politely telling you that they're not interested, unfortunately, it's all part of the dating game. One girl on Tinder, however, clearly doesn't understand the rules, and upon being explained to politely by a guy she had matched with that he had met someone else, she lost her mind and went totally berserk. Check out how calmly he manages the situation and how 

Ahhh, kids. They really know how to test our patience. But with all the nerves they get on, they do also have their cute moments. Kids R The Best Screenwriters is the hilarious page that collects the most adorable, funny, and wholesome real quotes from real kids. It's fascinating to get an insight into small kids' minds and see how their brains work, all through listening to the tidbits they share. So scroll through the latest collection, which is bound to put a smile on your face.

Every parent can relate. Putting a baby down for a nap or even a good night's rest is no easy task. It's like they have a sensor or something and they know exactly when they are being put to bed. "Oh, about to hit the comfort of my bed. Let me sing you the song of babies everywhere!" 

Given what a sh*t show 2020 has been, we're hopeful that 2021 will be somewhat better. Seriously, nothing can be worse than 2020 (right?!), but just in case, the latest Anne Taintor calendar will brighten up your year. Filled with retro pictures of women, it has a sarcastic and quippy twist. Its hilarious and dark humor makes it the only calendar you need for 2021. If it hits your funny bone, you can find it on Amazon.

We've bought you one collection of rude cross stitches that your grandma will find offensive, and this new haul is no better. They might be even more disrespectful than the first. Available on Etsy by OhWowStitch, these cross stitches with snarky sentiments sewed onto them definitely aren't the Bible quote cross stitches you'll find hanging on Grandma's wall. Warning: don't scroll down if you're easily offended.

When you think of cross stitch (or any type of embroidery), you probably picture a sweet little old grandma sitting in a rocking chair, creating something wholesome. And it's almost definitely Jesus related. But these rude cross stitches certainly weren't made by grandmas. And if they were, sign me up to be their granddaughter! Scroll through these less-than-wholesome embroideries and laugh. Would you hang any of these up in your house?
