Most people when on a night out simply get wasted, take a few awful photos then get a kebab.

While this girl is likely to be doing a lot of that as well, she’s also been doing something else.

She’s made a hobby out of photobombing every attempt at a romantic embrace she possibly can.

Oh, and she’s been doing it for two whole years.

Yes, Reddit user 69HumpStreet posted a series of photos in which she had crept up on people getting it on (only kissing though, we promise).

She captioned the series: ‘This is the only reason I go out… 2 years in the making.’

I am a 24 year old bisexual man – no, I’m not confused, no, I’m not gay, no, I’m not going through a phase.

What’s more, I’m proud to be a bi guy – if you only knew the fun I was having you’d be jealous.

For the last few months I’ve been dating an amazing girl, so imagine my shock and horror to find out that people have been quizzing her about my sexuality.

How would you feel knowing that strangers have told the person you’re dating that you are confused or hiding the fact that you’re gay?

It’s been a year since the Ivy Chelsea Garden opened and, to celebrate a year of sipping cocktails in the sun (sometimes) in the garden terrace and orangery, they have created a cocktail recipe that we can sip in the sun at home.

Some genius has created skinny prosecco and we are eternally grateful

It’s called A Year In The Garden, it was served at the anniversary party last week, and it contains lashings of prosecco, fused with creme de menthe blanche (a clear version of cdm, more versatile than… Read the full story

In case you missed it, last night’s Scripps National Spelling Bee once again crowned two champions, ending in a tie for the third consecutive year.

Nihar Janga, 11, of  Texas, and Jairam Hathwar, 13, of New York, took the joint trophy after 39 rounds of competition, ending in the final words: Feldenkrais and gesellschaft.

But there was one clear star of the show. One of the winners, Nihar Janga, 11, was absolutely BRUTAL when it came to taking the trophy – and everyone on Twitter was loving it.

First he shook his head at one of his opponent’s failures, then sarcastically clapped when he sat down. Incredible.

Why you probably shouldn’t drink out of hotel glasses

This week in ‘everything’s disgusting, trust nothing and no one’, it turns out that even the water glasses you know, love, and trusted to be safe are secretly gross dirt-traps.

So, we repeat yet again, TRUST NOTHING AND NO ONE.

PopSugar just brought our attention to the fact that studies have shown that in many hotels, housekeepers simply rinse the water glasses stored in bathrooms or left out on trays, rather than giving them a proper clean.

An investigation by ABC News studied 15 different hotels across the U.S., and found that 11 of them failed to clean and sanitise water glasses before new guests arrive.

When you’re in London, you quickly start to react to the word ‘pop-up’ with general moans of ‘uggggh’ and ‘oh, p*ss off’. They’re typically gimmicky, hipster, and frustratingly overpriced.

Not this time. This pop-up is something truly, purely magical. This is a McDonald’s pop-up.

Today McDonald’s opened a french fries themed pop-up brilliantly named Fries With That. It’s open for the next three days and is serving up fries with loads of fancy toppings. See? It’s magical.

The fries on offer are topped with a choice of sour cream and sweet chilli, gravy, Caesar sauce with bacon and parmesan, curry, pesto and parmesan,… Read the full story

Forget the deeply disappointing epic of Boaty McBoatface (real name never to be used). This is the only boat we’re interested in.

The Nikolay Chernyshevsky tourist boat in Russia has something a bit different from your average sailboat: a full-on crew of cats, headed up by captain Sailor (yes, we know it’s a confusing name), a shorthair who wanders the deck in his official jacket and hat.

Sailor is joined by first mate Boatswain, a sweet little Scottish fold who likes lounging by the ship’s wheel.

Just save that money for Chinese takeaways, then reap the style rewards.

Sine’s dress is inspired by this fancy ruffled gown worn by Araya A. Hargate at Cannes Film Festival. It is a gown of dreams created by Ralph & Russo.

Every person is different – and what draws you to one person might be a complete turn off for someone else. But there are some things which you can do or say as a human being that can almost universally make you less attractive to others. 

The question on what people do that are off putting enough to make them unappealing was posed on Reddit and the answers came thick and fast. There were some which were either repeated several times or upvoted with great enthusiasm which helped to build a picture of the things we should be… Read the full story

Puppy ‘thrown in tar bin yelped for over 24 hours’

Falling in love with its big eyes as soon as he spotted it, he snapped a photo of it and asked his wife whether he could bring it home with him.

Woman Gets Stuck In Bathroom Stall, Films SOS Video Asking For Help

When stuck in a bathroom, your options for escape are very limited. 

You could scream for help until your mouth is dry, make every possible attempt to hack the broken lock, or simply wait it out until someone eventually discovers you.

And just hope that you don’t end up dying in there.

One woman, however, took the opportunity of getting locked in the bathroom to make a video for t’internets.

Unfortunately, while she was in the bathroom cubicle, someone who came into use the changing table had left it down, trapping her behind the door.

As the toilets were totally empty, and she couldn’t squeeze out, she… Read the full story

The dawn of freakshakes is a glorious thing. It’s an act of bravery, genius, and innovation, daring to stack the classic milkshake higher than it should have ever reasonably gone.

And they look good. And they’re delicious.

The only real downside to freakshakes? The bit where you feel horribly sick and need a bit of a lie-down afterwards, because you’ve pretty much just eaten an entire cake followed by a pint of milk. Which is a bit much.

So we asked the lovely people at Graze to come up with a slightly healthier version of the… Read the full story

Wine-lovers, pack your bags and head to France.

Not just because they have the best Bordeaux, or to see the Eiffel Tower, but because finally, France is giving the world what it’s so desperately been needing: a dedicated theme park celebrating the joy of wine. Disneyland might need to rethink that happiest place on earth tagline.

Opening this June, La Cité du Vin is a snazzy new theme park/museum mashup sitting in Bordeaux (obvs).

And yes, it’s all wine, everything.

If you’ve ever had one of these sexbots trying to coax your credit details from your wallet – you’ll like this.

When a lad on Tumblr received an unsolicited message from another user called ‘Stellaxo134’ he realised straight away that it was a scam.

So he decided to have a little dirty fun of his own – by trolling her with plant chat.

While the ‘single 23-year-old female’ tried to lure him onto a website to steal his credit card details, Tumblr user Salticid tried to lure the robot to ‘coalesce’ with him in the soil.

And then he posted the whole chat on Imgur for everyone else to have a good laugh and raise awareness… Read the full story

It’s one of those little niggles that often pesters you at the back of your mind but you’ve never really looked into – just why does your cat insist on moving their water dish across the floor before taking a drink?

Not every cat does this, granted, but many feline owners will notice the quirky habit of their beloved pet. It doesn’t seem to matter where you place the dish or how clean it is, they will drag it across the floor a bit before dipping their head in. And, more often than not, they will make a mess while doing it!

There is a perfectly good reason they do this – it isn’t just… Read the full story
