"Homework is serious business. If you try to be creative or funny on your assignment you're just going to annoy your teacher."
Having briefly worked as a teacher, this is the opposite of true. The teachers think the assignment is boring too, and they have to get through a whole stack. As long as you demonstrate understanding of the material and assignment, making them laugh will generally improve, not harm, their impression of you.

I was a quiet A-student in high school and got bullied a bit. One day one of the bullies tried to hit me with a yardstick and I had enough. I grabbed it out of his hand and knocked him down. Just then the principal walked by. "I want to see you in my office!" I meekly followed him down the hall. When we got there he smiled and said, "I'm sure Charles was the agitator. You're a good student - go on, get out of here."

Ran out of quarters to properly rinse off in a national park restroom shower. Resorted to standing in front of the sink trying to rinse off one crummy handful of sink water at a time. Door swings open with a father pushing his young son through the door in a wheelchair, they panicked at the sight, and tried to back out of the door quickly but the chair got jammed in the doorway. Everyone walking past the bathrooms looked to see what the commotion was as I was scrambling to pull my clothes onto my wet and soapy self.

Not a looks like, but sounds like. I was on the phone with an insurance adjuster while at work. I work in a zoo, and we had just reintroduced a young bird back into his family flock (he has some medical issues and had to be human-raised for a couple of months). Despite our precautions, the little bird got a bit spoiled in our company and felt that he was entitled to my hoodie string. At one point he was being super obnoxious and I informed him that this was why his dad punches him in the face (a normal form of discipline for this particular species). The insurance adjuster was very uncomfortable as I desperately tried to explain that I was at work and not talking to another human being.
I'm still not 100% certain that that incident alone was why it took so long for my claim to be processed.

Had a girl friend who was into cosplay. I was helping her get into a suit and we both struggled to zip it. Apparently the bumping and slight grunting I was making helping her suit up sounded uhhhh.. erotic. Our other friend busted in to tell us to f**k quieter and he sees me struggling with a zipper.

I had an anxiety freakout at a party when I was about 18 or 19. My then-boyfriend wanted to take me somewhere quiet to talk me down, but it was a busy New Year's Eve house party, so the only quiet place was the bathroom. Cue the father/ homeowner catching a teenage couple together in his bathroom... He laughed it off with a certain air of "ah, young love." But he *also* didn't believe we hadn't been making out.
Fast forward 13 years and we're at this man's younger son's wedding. We've now been married 4 years. The father of the groom sees my husband at the bar and says, "oh, I still remember that night I caught you and your future wife hooking up in my bathroom!"

My siblings are all several years older than me and had kids while I was still living with my mom. I have one sister who.lives four hours away and visits regularly. Whenever she and her husband would pack up, I'd keep theor two kids distracted so they wouldn't be in the way. I also had a golden retriever at the time, and her crate was in my room. My sisters kids would regularly ask me to lock them in the crate and give them "treats" (cheez its) through the bars. I would always let them out when they got too rowdy or wanted to do something else, but one time they stayed in the crate the whole time my sister and brother-in-law were loading the car (like 30 minutes tops). BIL comes into my room to tell the kids it's time to leave and just sees me slipping a cheez it to his kids in a locked dog crate saying "you've been good, you get a treat."

Not a doctor, but a dietitian.
If you need help managing your diet/nutrition needs/anything to do with food - don't ask your doctor. Find a *registered* dietitian (NOT A NUTRITIONIST)..
Doctors usually don't know jack s**t about any of it.. and some of the s**te my patients have told me their doctors have told them make me want to bash my head against a wall.. repeatedly..
Seriously.. so much bad advice..
Oh, and if doctors could stop telling people that all their issues would be solved if they just lost weight.. and refusing to delve any deeper unless they do so - that would be great! The amount of patients I've watched slowly die because of this also makes me want to bash my head against a wall..
Yes, we all know being obese isn't great for your health.. but, there are so many things that can prevent a person from losing weight.. and you're leaving your patients in a really s****y spot by not continuing to investigate while patients try and lose said weight.. PLEASE help your f*****g patients.. don't just tell them they're fat and call it a day..

MD here. Be curious.
Why are you are the way you are; how you think the way you think; what you do the way you do it. None of us are given a manual for being, yet understanding our being provides so much more agency in life. If you can afford therapy, great. If not, self help books/audiobooks, CBT apps, online courses and workshops, podcasts and youtube channels, journaling, mindfulness/meditation, and self reflection exercises are all helpful.
All the other things you'll likely read here - exercise, stopping alcohol/cigarettes, eating healthy, better sleep hygiene, wearing sunscreen, oral hygiene - they're behavioral changes made easier when you understand your behaviors/cognitions themselves.

So, picture this: I’m at a friend’s house last night, casually sipping on a lukewarm cider (by choice, don’t @ me), when I see them load their dishwasher. And then it hits me.
THEY PUT THE SOAP IN THE LITTLE COMPARTMENT.
For SEVEN years, I’ve been just chucking the soap tablet straight into the bottom of the dishwasher, like some feral raccoon who accidentally found modern appliances. “Why isn’t my dishwasher working well?” I’d think, as I scraped dried pasta off plates. I thought it was just vibes.
Anyway, now my dishes are sparkling, my confidence is shaken, and I’m pretty sure my dishwasher has been side-eyeing me this whole time. Who else has been living a lie, and how did you discover it?
P.S. Yes, my friend laughed at me. Yes, I deserved it.

I went to a garage sale and saw a pretty current model of Hoover upright vacuum for $5. I asked if I could plug it in. Sure, but it doesn’t pick up dirt was the seller’s answer.
Motor was great so I got it. And took it home to change the bag (stuffed as full as a sausage), replace the belt (broken, natch) and slice the hair packed on the brush. Really disgusting but $5!! For a virtually new vacuum!
They did zero maintenance and just bought a new vacuum instead.

I have a confession. I was at my sister's house a while back and while we're talking she's getting ready to put some biscuits in the oven so she grabs a brand new box of aluminum foil out of the pantry and pushes her thumb into both sides of the aluminum foil box. I ask her why she poked holes in the box and she looks at me weird then tells me it's so the aluminum roll stays in place when you're grabbing a sheet. I have been fighting with my aluminum foil for all of my adult life and never knew that there were tabs on the side that you punch in to lock the roll in place.

One time when I lived in an apartment the dishwasher was ruined by the previous tenants so they eventually replaced it. The guy installed it, and I loaded it right away, but for some reason it wouldn't start. It would turn on, but just wouldn't start. It was a cheap place so an older, used model. It took them two weeks to come out, and the guy was only there for five minutes. He switched the bottom dish tray around in the machine so that the proper bit hit the door to tell the machine it was locked. That was it, the dish tray was just backwards.

When I was 30, I learned that I had been tying my shoelaces the wrong way my whole life. I thought that retying your laces a couple times a day was normal (it’s not like I was retying them 10 times a day).
Then I stumbled upon this website and realized I was tying my laces wrong. The author estimates half of people do as well, and are completely unaware.
https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm
Edit: After tying shoelaces the proper way, with laces that hold well, I can go weeks without retying them (I often tie them loose and slip my shoes on).
Edit: If the flowchart confuses you, here’s a simpler one:
1. Do your laces come undone at least once a day?
2. Does your knot look “ugly” with loops oriented vertically (up/down)?
If you answered Yes to either of them, you are probably tying the incorrect Granny Knot.
