Grandparents Who Simultaneously Give Off Chaotic And Wholesome Vibes
Grandparents are the boss level characters for what regular parents are. They've dadded and mommed so long that they've developed even more intense superpowers—the extreme dad joke being one example.
While most grandparents are pretty wholesome and will give you treats your parents would never let you have, they also create an incredible amount of chaos, as you can see in these pictures.
The Slowest Picture Message Ever
This granddaughter received some photos including this mirror selfie from her grandmother in the mail. She really got her selfie developed and printed the old-fashioned way to send it by post.
Just Got To Make Sure He's A Good Guy
This grandpa just got his first Roomba vacuum, but he doesn't quite trust having a robot roam around his house, so he's been following it around and watching it as it works.
It Can Have Multiple Jobs
This grandma saw their grandchild's iPad on the countertop in the kitchen and made the (very fair) assumption that it was actually a cutting board. Luckily, no iPads were harmed in the making of this photo.
That's One Way To Send A Text Message
This 92-year-old grandpa just got new security cameras around his house. He gave his grandson, Aaron, the online login (he's not too computer savvy) so that Aaron can see what’s going on. He sends him random messages through the cameras.
She Did Her Absolute Best
Before heading out to the store, this grandma asked her grandkids if they wanted any snacks, to which they replied, "Sour cream and onion chips."
This is what she brought back.
An Important Sign Update
There is nothing worse than when an informational sign is out of date, leaving the reader to be misdirected. This elderly couple decided to make sure everyone who came to their house knew what was up.
Love That He Has A Specific Lawnmowing Shirt
This man wore the exact same shirt every time he mowed the lawn or did any outdoor work in one summer. His wife noticed that he had developed a tan line from the letters on it.
That's Much Better!
This grandfather was really struggling with using his television remote because he didn't understand what all the buttons were for, so after helping him out dozens of times, his grandson "fixed" it for him.
This Is Truly A Granddad Joke
This grandfather was hanging out with his grandson when, out of the blue without any prompting, he took out this bottle of dice and said they were "pills he takes for his gambling addiction."
That's A Lot Of Power In One Switch
First of all, I love that this grandmother was smart enough to label her light switches and eliminate the risk of any mistakes. Second of all, I am genuinely curious as to what the fourth "RUSSIA?" switch actually does.
Salt Can't Go Bad, Right?
The girl who posted this explained that, while at her grandmother's house, she asked if there was any salt. Her grandma casually said that she doesn't use salt often, but there should be some in the cabinet. She found this container of salt dating all the way back to 1965.
A McBirthday Surprise!
This woman goes to the same McDonald's every morning to get a coffee and tends to talk to the workers there, so on her birthday, the staff surprised her with a little party.
This Is The Most Intense Staring Contest I've Ever Seen
This grandpa was sitting outside and enjoying the weather when this young bear meandered onto his deck. I have no idea how he remained so calm while hanging out with a bear.
It's Actually A Pretty Ingenious Method
This grandmother was sick of having hot oil splash up onto her sleeves and burn her hands, so she developed this innovative method to protect herself while cooking fried foods.
They're Waiting
This grandson pulled into his grandfather's driveway when going for a visit to see him and this was the view: his grandpa and his dog patiently watching and waiting in the window.
I Mean, It Does The Job
This grandpa wanted to get his granddaughter a gift card but doesn't quite understand how they work, so instead, he gave her this. Honestly, it does the same job with a lot less work.
She's Never Heard Of The Front-Facing Camera
This 83-year-old grandmother wanted to fit in with the times, so this is her first-ever attempt to take a selfie. Despite the slight inception vibes going on, she nailed it!
What A Beautiful Couple
After her husband, who wasn't the best to her, passed away, this 80-year-old grandmother decided to DIY a Photoshop job and cover his face up with a man she likes: Leonardo DiCaprio.
Like Mother, Like Daughter, Like Granddaughter
The guy who took this photo explained that he found it weird how, at any given point in the day in any place, his wife would just pass out for a nap. However, it made more sense to him once her mother and grandmother visited and did the same.
This Is Just Like In The Sims
To explain, during his 85th birthday party, this grandfather took to the stage to give a speech. As a prank, part of the way through his speech, he had a person dressed as the grim reaper walk into the room.
Movie Night Has Been A Blast!
A movie night with the family seems like it would be a pretty straightforward occasion, but partly through The Hobbit, they had to stop to explain to plot to Grandpa.
Her Priorities Are Straight
The person who posted this explained that her Italian grandmother was coming to visit and live with her family for a while. This is what she packed in her suitcase.
Paint Nights Aren't For Everyone
Over the past few years, going to a "Paint Night" (a group painting session led by an actual artist) has become a popular activity. This grandpa, however, was not too pleased that his wife dragged him to one.
What Is Going On At Grandma's House?
The person who posted this explained that their grandmother sent them this photo of her dog out of the blue without a single word about what was going on or why.
She Knows Exactly What's Up
The guy who posted this explained that his phone got wet while he was visiting his grandmother, so he asked her if she had any rice she could put it in. She immediately took this out of her pantry.
He Looks So Sad :(
While out to eat as a family, this grandfather accidentally hit his glass of water and spilled it everywhere. The server came back with a new glass of water in a sippy cup for him.
She Tried Her Best
This grandmother wanted more physical copies of photos of the family, so she decided to print some photos from her phone. She didn't realize there is a better way to save photos than just screenshotting.
This Cannot Be Good For His Eyes
I'm all for using a large desktop monitor if it helps you see things a little more clearly, but sitting this close to a TV screen to do a crossword is a little too extreme.
She's Keeping It Real
There are few things in this world that I love more than a grandmother who dishes dirt on all of the people she hated in her past. I would like to make it a reality television series.
At Least He's Honest
As nice as it is to get a nice, big check from your grandfather for Christmas, isn't it even nicer to know that your grandfather is an honest guy who doesn't make up fake excuses?
