There are countless videos in the world featuring people passing out on an amusement park ride. This one might be the best one yet.
Amusement parks have often been featured prominently in pop culture. There are the infamous roller coaster scenes in both Fatal Attraction and Fear. In the movie Big, a kid wishes to be big when he encounters a fortune-telling machine at a carnival. The next day he wakes up as Tom Hanks. And over in the real world, who could possibly forget that time Fabio was hit in the face by a passing goose while riding a coaster?

With the advent of social media, the world has given us new and exciting ways to experience thrill rides. It’s become fairly common to watch a video of someone on a ride because they bravely screamed their way through it, cell phone in hand. Another caught-on-camera moment that I always delight in is when someone passes out on a ride. And for Lewis Conley Waterman, who goes by @lewisconley93 on TikTok, he took it to an entirely new level.

Maybe the ride was too scary?
“Still can’t believe I passed out on a children’s fair ride,” said Lewis over a TikTok of one of the easiest, breeziest rides I’ve ever seen. To be fair, I love roller coasters so I’m not a great litmus test for these things. I definitely get a flash pass at every park just to avoid lines and I always ride in the back because it’s more fun. But still, this is an objectively tame ride.
To get a sense of who Lewis is, I took a peek at his other TikToks. He’s definitely a gym rat who looks like he rarely skips arm days. He uses a mental health hashtag which is always a good thing. It’s clear he takes care of his mind and his body.

He also spends a lot of time having fun with his children which is how the loopy trip to the fair came about. The ride he and his children are on is basically a souped-up swing. There are five seats available on either side as the ride goes backwards and forwards, gaining a bit more height each time.

Because this ride is for kids, you never really get super high. It’s not like one of those ships that slowly rocks back and forth until it has done a full turn and you’re left hanging upside for a second, watching whatever is in people’s pockets fall slowly to the ground. Man, the end of the workday must be wild for amusement park employees. They just collect loose change, baseball hats, and sunglasses.

Things start off fairly easily. Lewis is looking at his children and as the ride kicks off, he puts his arms up as if to show them there is nothing to be afraid of. That’s good! Lead by example.
The whole time, Lewis is staring at a very small boy next to him who keeps his hands on the safety bar. That’s probably for the best because as previously mentioned, he is quite smol.

In solidarity, Lewis puts his arms back down but keeps an eye on the tiny tot. Everyone is laughing and screaming in a non-threatening way. At one point Lewis reaches over and reassuringly squeezes the leg of the little boy next to him, who I assume is his child. Little does Lewis know, he will be the one in need of comforting.

Suddenly Lewis slumps over onto his son who does not appear to notice. That’s my favorite part. He is now so into the ride, that his father passing out barely makes a blip on his radar. The little girl next to Lewis’s son, however, notices and bends over to match his body shape. She begins to laugh, and suddenly I want children but only if they are like that little girl.
“The kids laughing cracks me up,” one commenter wrote.
So many people in the comments had stories of times they were terrified on a ride. “I was so close to passing out on the Zipper and the Zero Gravity ride,” said one person. “My life flashed before my eyes.” More than one person brought up the pirate ship. How could you not? Only one person was worried about how Lewis’s son felt watching his dad pass out. If you roll back the tape, he is also laughing. Stay safe out there!
We all know Scott Disick as the lovable villain on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians.’ But did you know that he refers to himself as royalty?
The Gist:
Scott Disick literally holds the royal title of lord!
Scott got this title in the least glamorous way possible.
People are wondering if this means his kids are now royalty.

Fans are wondering: why exactly is Scott Disick, the perennial bad boy turned family man, donned with the moniker of nobility? What’s the story behind his title of lord? Here’s what we know.

There’s a not so glamorous story behind Scott’s title of lord.
The genesis of Scott’s honorary title can be traced back to the playful and somewhat eccentric nature of the reality TV star. In a memorable episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Scott, known for his cheeky antics, declared his aspirations for royalty.
“Whether it’s Sir Disick, Lord Disick, Count Disick — becoming royal is going to get me the respect I deserve,” he proclaimed. I mean the man’s Instagram handle is literally, @letthelordbewithyou.
The twist is that Scott didn’t ascend to his noble status through traditional means. Instead, he purchased the title online, adding a touch of irony to his newfound aristocracy.

People can get the title of lord three different ways.
While Scott’s method of acquiring a lordship isn’t exactly fancy, it’s worth exploring the various legitimate ways one can obtain such a title. Traditionally, titles like lord or lady are hereditary or granted by the monarch for notable contributions.

However, in the modern era, companies such as Highland Titles offer individuals the opportunity to purchase novelty titles, allowing them to playfully adopt the mantle of nobility. Also, marrying into a family with existing titles or appointment to the House of Lords, one of the chambers of the U.K. Parliament, are other avenues through which one can acquire such distinctions.
Just because Scott is a lord, doesn’t mean his kids are royalty.
Even though Scott named one of his kids Reign, the royal status he purchased doesn’t bestow any royal status upon his children. In the world of reality TV and celebrity culture, playful titles and eccentric declarations aren’t uncommon.

Whilehis three children — Mason, Penelope, and Reign — are certainly reality TV royalty, they aren’t legitimate members of a royal family. The line between fantasy and reality in the Kardashian universe is often blurred, and Scott’s title is just another facet of the family’s penchant for dramatic flair.
So, there you have it — the whimsical tale of how Scott, the charismatic maverick of the Kardashian clan, became “Lord Disick.” Whether it’s through online purchases, noble lineage, or parliamentary appointments, the world of titles and distinctions is far more diverse than one might imagine. And we can’t wait to see what crazy antic Scott will think of next!

Rebecca Jarvis and her husband, Matthew Hanson, got married in 2012.
Rebecca met her husband, Matthew, at the University of Chicago, where they graduated together. However, they didn’t start dating until years later, according to their New York Times wedding announcement. “I remember him as this guy’s guy, always hanging out with a large group of friends and making them laugh,” Rebecca said.

“She was the funniest girl I ever met,” Matthew said. “There was an enormous depth to her personality and character that she didn’t reveal to a lot of people. I found that very appealing.” The pair worked together at the Bank of America in Chicago in investment banking, which is when they fell in love.

In 2006, Rebecca was hired by CNBC in New York, so she moved while they were long-distance for two years. In 2008, Matthew moved to be with Rebecca, and in 2010, he proposed. “I did not see it coming,” Rebecca said of the proposal. “It was so cold out, and we were both shivering. When he took off his glove and reached into his pocket to take out the ring, it was difficult to tell if he was shivering from the cold or from nervousness.”
Rebecca and Matthew have two kids together, but they had to go through various fertility treatments.
Rebecca and Matthew have wanted to be parents for their entire relationship. They now have two children, Isabel Noemi and baby Leo. Isabel was born in February 2019 after seven rounds of IVF. While Rebecca and Matthew love their little girl, they always wanted a family of four to mirror Rebecca’s own upbringing, which she discussed on Good Morning America.

They revealed their journey to conceiving Leo in a 10-minute segment, in which Rebecca shared that she had a miscarriage at five months, which is considered a late-term miscarriage. She had been pregnant several times, but could never carry to term. At a certain point, their doctor said that their best chance at conceiving was with a surrogate.
They had never considered this option, but they decided to go for it. Rebecca was nervous that she wouldn’t connect as deeply with her second child. But after speaking to friends, she found a new way to empathize with fathers, who also don’t carry their children in the womb. Now, Rebecca and Matthew have the perfect nuclear family with their daughter, Isabel, and baby boy Leo. Congrats to the Jarvis-Hanson family!
A customer allegedly told DoorDash that she didn’t get her food, but it was placed outside her door. The DoorDash driver returned to confront her.

And now it seems that customers may be lying about not getting their food in hopes of getting a refund. One DoorDasher, who was penalized after a customer claimed her food wasn’t delivered, returned to the customer’s address to find the food still there. Then she knocked on the door to confront the customer about this complaint.

A DoorDash customer allegedly complained she didn’t get her food, even though her order was placed outside her door.
DoorDash driver and TikTok user Jade (@jadecharde) received a violation for allegedly not delivering a customer’s food. However, she knew that she had delivered the food. So, she decided to return to the customer’s address, confront her, and record the conversation.

Upon arriving, Jade saw that the food was still sitting outside the door where she left it. She knocked on the door and spoke to the customer, who was named Khyersten, about why she reported her food missing.
“I didn’t say that.” Khyersten is heard saying to Jade in the video.
“They literally gave me a violation on my account,” Jade explained to Khyersten, who apologized and said she didn’t mean to get her in trouble.

“Why do you have the food sitting outside?” Jade probed Khyersten, to which she answered, “I was asleep.”
Khyersten promised that she would correct it with DoorDash, and then Jade left. And that was it.
It’s unclear if Khyersten did report her order missing on purpose or if she really didn’t know her food had been delivered because she was sleeping. Things just didn’t seem to add up on Khyersten’s end.
And users acknowledged that in the comment section: “If she was [asleep] how did she report it not being delivered?”
Another asked: “Who goes to sleep when ordering food? Like you know it’s coming.”

And one user applauded Jade for actually confronting Khyersten.
But not everyone thought that Khyersten was a master of deceit trying to get a free meal.
“It’s not that deep. If the food was still outside, she clearly didn’t know it was there and didn’t bother to check. Easy fix now that she sees it,” said one user in a comment.

“The fact that it’s exactly where you left it makes me believe her,” wrote another user in the comment section of Jade’s video.
A third user wrote, “She seems genuine??”

Other users then began questioning Jade about whether or not she took a photo of the food when she first delivered it. Photographic evidence might have helped her avoid her alleged violation, but she didn’t respond.
The debate over who is right in this situation could go on and on but the lesson here is that if you report your food missing, it should actually be missing (and not just outside your door). And if you’re a Dasher, you should always document every delivery to protect yourself in case a customer tries to take advantage of the system.
