One of the greatest blessings of the internet is that it provides us with endless opportunities for lazy sociological and anthropological research via social media.

When it comes to this specific pastime, Reddit may well be one of the best places to indulge it (and even learn something interesting in the process). With the tendency towards anonymity and the colorful range of subreddits that one can become a member of, it is a place to bear witness to all kinds of interesting examples of human behavior. Just when we think we have seen it all, it can reveal to us something new or surprising. Even when it is a story we have heard before, it can add to the list of case studies on one phenomenon or another.
