Have you ever had that experience, the one where you think you know where a conversation or a comment thread was going and then all of the sudden BAM – it turns a direction you literally never saw coming?

Those can be uncomfortable, but they can also be hilarious – and these 10 posts are all about sharing the times things escalated way too quickly.

10. A bit of a tangent.

Still a helpful review though I guess.

5. I was with them for awhile.

That last one just seems unnecessary, though.

4. Why do people do this?

More importantly, why do they think we care?

1. It’s just a pen.

Holy buckets.

Isn't this a little excessive for losing a pen?
