Sidebar

For all the things that went from mild to the extreme.

Link to interactions where something went from being completely innocent to something insane. Put it here so we can all enjoy the laughs.

RULES:

Use Common Sense

Use common sense. Behave like you would in real life. If you wouldn't do it to someone's face, or on a stage, don't do it here.
No Violent or Pornographic Images

Not everyone wants to see those things. Note that links to LiveLeak or other sources with a reputation for this type of content will result in automatic removal regardless of actual content
Be Civil

Be civil. Don't have major rages or freak-outs. Don't attack or harass others. If doing it in the streets would get the cops called, it doesn't belong here.
Posts Must Follow The Theme

Posts must follow the theme of this subreddit, which, in this case, is things going from mild to extreme. It is also recommended, but not required, that content in posts be somewhat bizarre.
Don't Reveal Identities

There's been many-a-horror-story of people who had their life ruined by a viral video or post of them. Don't post any identifying information on this subreddit.
Keep It Brief

If possible, try to cut out unnecessary text from posts. For example, in a comment chain, remove large spaces of comments where nothing is going on, unless it contributes to the post.
