Each year, millions of cats and dogs get adopted out, and someone at the shelters will have to name them.

According to Forbes, the number of pups who got their fur-ever home in the US last year was 1.5 million. That's just counting dogs—but shelters also house plenty of cats, and about 978,000 of the little scoundrels were adopted last year. Now, there aren't millions of pigs, lizards, rabbits, or birds sitting in the shelters, but a few of them always come through these shelters' doors, too!

Animal shelter workers tirelessly care for all of their critters. That includes assigning them names that are usually temporary. A lot of folks head to the shelter and fall in love with their new furry best friend, but end up changing their name. As you can see below, shelter workers will literally just name these pets anything. Why not? May as well!

Next up, check out these super messy and badly burnt food fails… there's one person who accidentally made electric green custard!

He's looking regular-sized and proper scrungry if you ask me.

Does this tell a story?

via u/venomborne

It's the story of an employee who gets a cheap meal deal for lunch, and then brushes their teeth in the office bathroom. Then, this employee is asked to name four cats and just wings it. You nailed it, random employee!
