People Share The Worst Justifications For Cheating On Their Significant Other
[rebelmouse-image 18352734 is_animated_gif=Y'all grab yourselves a bottle of whatever and a cookie. Some people will use any reason and I mean... ANY reason to dabble outside of a relationship. FYI... there is no viable excuse to betray your significant other but... I'm listening! But BYE FELICIA!!
Redditor FuschiaDinosaur wondered What's the worst excuse you've heard to justify cheating?
YOUR MEMORY NEEDS A BEAT DOWN.
"You weren't around and she reminded me of you so you should feel flattered"
THEN JSUT SAY SEX ONLY! NO JUDGEMENT.
[rebelmouse-image 18347841 is_animated_gif="I'm young and don't want to be tied down to somebody".
That's fine, but instead of cheating on somebody who thinks you actually care about them, specify that you're not looking for anything serious to begin with.
OH PLEASE!
[rebelmouse-image 18357383 is_animated_gif="I felt like I wasn't good enough for you"
PARDON ME CRAZY?
[rebelmouse-image 18357384 is_animated_gif="Just because you've made me so happy, happier than any other guy, doesn't mean I should stay with you any longer."
ACCIDENTS "DON'T" HAPPEN!!
[rebelmouse-image 18357385 is_animated_gif="It was an accident."
Moron. You don't just get naked, crawl into bed, and screw five or six times.
I'M GOING TO PUNCH YOU! LOL
[rebelmouse-image 18979529 is_animated_gif="I relapsed." Lol right. Turns out she relapsed a lot.
STICK WITH THE CLASSICS.
[rebelmouse-image 18979530 is_animated_gif="One thing led to another"
STOP BLAMING YOUR PARENTS!
[rebelmouse-image 18348509 is_animated_gif=My dad did it and its in my genes.
MAYBE TALK TO YOUR PARTNER? DUH!
[rebelmouse-image 18979531 is_animated_gif=Buddy to me -"Dude... I just can't do my wife like I do my girlfriend. I respect my wife too much to do that."
SERIOUSLY?
[rebelmouse-image 18360815 is_animated_gif="I didn't think the Konami code would work irl."
AHHH THE CLASSICS PART 2.
[rebelmouse-image 18347022 is_animated_gif="I was really drunk"
SO IT'S ME. SORRY? YOU... $#$$%^^%$#$%
[rebelmouse-image 18979532 is_animated_gif="You were depressed." Gee well now I'm over the moon.
GOOD FOR YOU. BYE!
[rebelmouse-image 18979533 is_animated_gif=I had the opportunity to.... So I took it.
WELL LET ME GET MY PASSPORT!!
[rebelmouse-image 18355709 is_animated_gif="I was in a totally different country."
MY FAVORITE!!!
[rebelmouse-image 18978052 is_animated_gif=We were on a break!!
DON'T BE A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG.
[rebelmouse-image 18979534 is_animated_gif=Girlfriend's ex-roommate was notorious for this:
"My ex cheated on me."
"I'm a different person now."
"Practically broken up." After she slept with her now former bestie's soon-to-be ex and said bestie asked her to tell the truth.
"We're not that serious or in love."
"I don't see it going anywhere, you guys wouldn't understand." After we asked her why she was sleeping with another guy when she was still in a committed relationship.
Bonus points for gf's mom outing her cheating in front of him by accident, while he was about to help move her (the cheater's) stuff to another city.
WHO AM I? WHERE AM I?
[rebelmouse-image 18979535 is_animated_gif="That's not who I am, I am going through a ton of stuffright now, so I wasn't myself". Wtf does that have to do with anything?
SOME PEOPLE NEED TO A GOOD SMACK!!! OR SIX!
[rebelmouse-image 18979536 is_animated_gif="Yes I have been cheating on my boyfriend, but look at him, he is too ugly to be loved. So I told him either he accepts that I will have sex with other people, or I will dump him and he will never have a girlfriend again."
And that was the moment I realized I was no longer friends with her.
For the record, he broke with her two years later but only after she took a lot of money from his disability checks. He is dating a much nicer (and beautiful) girl now.
SORRY... IT'S YOU!
[rebelmouse-image 18979537 is_animated_gif="You're obviously not doing something right."
BEAT YOU!!! I WIN?
[rebelmouse-image 18979538 is_animated_gif="I think he might cheat since we're long distance until (two months from that day). If he cheats on me, I'll be devastated. So I want to cheat on him first. That way if he ever tells me he cheated on me during this time, I can tell him I cheated first to piss him off. I mean he might not cheat, but if he does, I need to be able to tell him I cheated first."
IT'S OK... I'LL STRANGLE YOU WITH MY SHOELACES!

Arkansas High School Suspends Student Paper For Publishing 'Disruptive' Investigation Into Shady Football Transfers
Halle Roberts is the editor-in-chief of the Har-Ber Herald, the school newspaper for Springdale High School in Arkansas. The 17-year-old student was suspended after she wrote an investigative piece criticizing the transfer of five football players to a rival school.
Players are not allowed to be transferred to a different school because they would like to play for a different team. They are allowed to transfer only for academic reasons. So Roberts got to digging. Her paper filed FOIA requests and received official information from the Arkansas Activities Association saying that the students were transferred for academic reasons. However, the students themselves said otherwise.
Roberts quoted one student in her paper saying:
"We just want to go over there because we have a better chance of getting scholarships and playing at D1."
Another student told Roberts:
"I just feel like it's better for my future to go out there and get college looks."
Soon after the report was published, the superintendent of the district, Jim Rollins, asked the teacher advisor for the school paper, Karla Sprague, to take the story down. She obliged.
Rollins wrote a letter stating that the piece was:
"intentionally negative, demeaning, derogatory, hurtful and potentially harmful to the students addressed in those articles."
Roberts, undeterred, is still working on a new edition of the story that includes the school's censorship.
Mike Hiestand of the Student Press Law Center had this to say:

George R.R. Martin Just Confirmed A Popular 'Game Of Thrones' Fan Theory About White Walkers
Game of Thrones scribe George R.R. Martin is promoting his new book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, and provided insight into a group of characters fans have been waiting to learn more about.
As an author known to inject symbolism into the fantastical worlds he creates, Martin revealed that the icy group of White Walkers from Game of Thrones personified climate change.
What the ancient humanoid race of icy creatures stand for is a concept many have theorized all along.
Now fans received confirmation from the author himself.
Martin may have prognosticated climate change while he was writing GoT. The cold that transcends upon Westeros sounds eerily familiar.
"It's kind of ironic," Martin told the New York Times.
"Because I started writing 'Game of Thrones' all the way back in 1991, long before anybody was talking about climate change."
"But there is β in a very broad sense β there's a certain parallel there. And the people in Westeros are fighting their individual battles over power and status and wealth."
He added:
"And those are so distracting them that they're ignoring the threat of 'winter is coming,' which has the potential to destroy all of them and to destroy their world."
"And there is a great parallel there to, I think, what I see this planet doing here, where we're fighting our own battles. We're fighting over issues, important issues, mind you β foreign policy, domestic policy, civil rights, social responsibility, social justice. All of these things are important."
Martin continued:
"But while we're tearing ourselves apart over this and expending so much energy, there exists this threat of climate change, which, to my mind, is conclusively proved by most of the data and 99.9 percent of the scientific community. And it really has the potential to destroy our world."
"And we're ignoring that while we worry about the next election and issues that people are concerned about, like jobs."
Marten stressed the importance of caring for the environment, adding that protecting it should be a top priority.
"So really, climate change should be the number one priority for any politician who is capable of looking past the next election."
"We spend 10 times as much energy and thought and debate in the media discussing whether or not N.F.L. players should stand for the national anthem than this threat that's going to destroy our world."
When the author was asked if he could "pick the best real-world, present-day match β politicians, celebrities" and pair them up with corresponding characters from his novels, Martin answered: "Pass."
Fire and Blood: 300 Years Before a Game of Thrones, is expected to be released on November 20.

This Brand's Tweet History Is A Hilariously Fitting Representation Of A Brand's Life Cycle π
Carl's Croutons tried their hand at social media to advance their brand.
But their objective got derailed when their tweet ignited a confusing thread that sent everyone down the rabbit hole.
@topherflorence captured highlights from the thread that received over three thousand retweets for its zaniness alone.

The bread crumbs company endeavored to stir excitement for the brand by encouraging participation with the following tweet:
"Taking our first steps on the www!! tell us your favorite crouton recipes! #croutons #yum"
Harmless, right?
But somewhere along the way, the brand mixed business with politics. @religiousgames noticed that Carl's Croutons issued a one-word directive: vote.
The Twitter user asked, "What does it mean?"
