Putting the words “internet” and “grandparents” together usually makes you think they’re an incompatible match. But sometimes our grandparents actually use the internet better than we can ever plan to. Here are some of the best times that grandparents have broken the internet and it is hilarious!
She was tired of drivers speeding down her street, so she came up with a plan of her own. She stood outside with a speed camera and flashed every reckless driver on Ulysses Avenue. Only they didn’t know she wasn’t a cop, or that her camera was actually a hair dryer.
What A Cake
Among many things, grandma is a cake and cat lover. She has a unique sense of humor that showed when she designed her own birthday cake.
69 was nothing like any other birthday she had ever had.
The Granny Bodyguard
Granny was so concerned about her granddaughter going to draw money from the ATM alone.
It wasn’t important that it was in a safe neighborhood, or that it was only 6 pm… or that granny might not be the face of a badass… or is she?
Lecturing A Pelican
After his grandmother was bitten by a pelican on the pier, the pelican would regret that moment for the rest of its life.
No, she didn’t hit or hurt the bird, but she sure did give it a hard talking to.
Changing History
Before her husband passed away, they had more than a troublesome marriage.
So when the time came for her to move on, she moved right along… to good ol’ Leo! Who said dreams don’t come true?
Life Of The Party
Her grandson took her on a cruise. He thought she would spend some time laying out in the sun, maybe a few hours at the slot machines, but he never expected this!
Granny became the life of the party, and that party actually came to her. Age means nothing, it’s the spirit inside of you.
Two Hours Later
Usually what you’re looking for your whole life is right in front of you. Well in this case, it was right behind them.
This couple agreed to meet on the benches at 2 pm… but it was only when 4 pm came around that they realized that they had been sitting back to back for two hours!
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
He had just taught his gran how to use Facebook so she took the opportunity to make the most of it.
She had a unique holiday greeting to post on the Facebook walls of her grandchildren.
Knight And Stallion
When you set the theme of your wedding as “medieval”, you can expect some very interesting guests.
But perhaps the happy couple weren’t expecting grandpa to come riding in on a horse… of sorts. He definitely stole the show!
Grandma’s Magic
Grandma is always down for a prank. She told grandpa that she could make a coin appear in a bottle of water, all he needed to do was inspect the open bottle with a close eye… and then SPLASH!
She squeezed the bottle spraying water right into his eye. The two had a great laugh! All couples should learn a thing or two about keeping the fun alive from them.
Shouldn’t Have Asked
He forgot to bring his pajamas when he slept over at grandma’s.
But that wasn’t a problem since she had some spares for him. They do look rather comfy, we have to say.
In Case Of Emergency
One thing for sure, you can count on your grandparents for being practical.
They have a knack for finding a use for just about anything, especially the things we hardly think have any use.
Granny Is Real
“I tawt I taw a putty tat…”
If you don’t think she looks like the real living version of Granny from the Looney Tunes, then I’m not sure who would.
Change Of Perspective
She thought it was rather cute that her best friend’s grandmother added her as a friend on Facebook.
It wasn’t long before she started to regret it.
Gran-gster
Another friend’s grandmother Facebook story. She was asked to set up a Facebook page for her friend’s granny.
A couple of days later she realized that she had gotten the hang of it when the 83-year-old’s profile picture looked like this.
Live Memes
Buying granny a camera has many benefits… well for everyone but the cat, that is.
She was able to make live memes at any given moment, apparently.
Fashion Sensibility
He came back from work one day and found his pair of jeans laying on the bed.
Granny had taken care of that “annoying” rip he had been suffering from since he bought them. Thanks gran!
Luxury Nests
“My grandma takes her cat’s hair and pins it to trees on her lawn.
She says she wants to help birds make luxury nests.” She doesn’t want the local birds to feel like they’re just average birds. They need to feel glamorous, and their nests should be too.
A Real Card
Everybody kept telling granny Pam that she was a “real card”.
She thought that she was a character (which she is) but she didn’t realize that they actually meant it!
The Last Dinner
Their grandmother believed that it was going to be her last Christmas with them so she made one last request.
This was the last supper she asked for… actually.
Close Call
Alzheimer’s is no joke, but sometimes there is something bittersweet in the mix.
“At my wedding, my grandmother with Alzheimer’s came up to me and asked me ‘where’s the body?’” She saw all the people dressed up in suits and assumed the worst.
The Rebel
If there’s something you don’t want to do, just don’t do it.
But if you have to then do it the way you want to. This granddad was dragged to this art class by his wife.
Dress Up Genius
This grandpa is a genius! It was only ten minutes before his grandchildren showed up at his door that he heard they were coming to trick-or-treat.
He looked around the house and got whatever he could.
Only Grandma
Their grandmother is Italian. She came for a visit, so what do you think she brought with her for the kids?
Yep, someone has to tell her that there’s salami in America too. But there’s nothing like the real thing.
He Didn’t Want A Sweater
Granny thought that the hamster looked a little lonely and uncultured so she knitted him, not a sweater, not a pair of slippers, but a SOMBRERO!
Who’s Gonna Tell Her
Poor granny. She saw this “cross” and put it up on her wall because, you know, that’s where crosses belong.
Grandpa And His Life Partner
Isn’t this a wonderful picture of granddaddy and a shovel. Is that a shovel?
Yes, it is. But who is that behind it? Perhaps that is granny? Just maybe.
Fitness Genius
After his grandmother passed away, he was going through her stuff and he found this.
Talk about a happy tears moment.
Wonder Grandwoman
After being invited to a costume party, Mandy realized that the Wonder Woman costume that she ordered wasn’t her size.
But the purchase didn’t go to waste… Grandma proved that when she sent Mandy this picture.
Take Two
It was one thing when she pressed her eye against the touch screen when she snapped the group photograph.
But then after that part was explained to her, her finger made its photo debut too.
Heart Of Gold
“I gave my grandma $2 to run out and grab me an iced tea and a peanut butter cup.
She came back with a jug of Arizona and an 8-pack of Reese’s… with my $2 on the table.” If that isn’t a granny with a heart of gold, I don’t know what is.
A Bit Corny
Poor guy. His grandson set up his Facebook account, but there was something lost in translation in the explanation.
His grandfather thought that Facebook was a corn distributor.
Granny Knows
I think this woman has got the hang of it. She and her granddaughter started texting and when she was asked how she was doing, this was her reply.
Pretty chilled grandmother, if you ask me.
The Wall
Facebook and the internet truly connect all sides of the world.
I mean you can go from being a customer at a supermarket to becoming best friends with the supermarket’s marketing team. Who knows how interesting your personal life might be to complete strangers.
Oy Vey
“My grandma begged me to pick up a lollipop for her. I should have known better.”
Once upon a time this conversation would have been the other way, but this result couldn’t have ever been expected.
