In life, we all get our chance to shine, like nailing an important presentation at work or leading the football team to victory. Such highs make us want to share our joy with everyone. On the other hand, we also have those embarrassing moments—searching for our keys while holding them or misplacing our groceries.

On such occasions, our common sense takes a backseat, and our brain refuses to function—a brain fart, if you will. But don’t worry, you are not alone. Sometimes, people are hilariously clueless and naive and thankfully, someone captured it on camera.

To help you momentarily forget your goof-ups and lift your spirits, Bored Panda has collected a list of silly things that people have said and done.

Same sidewalk, cemetery, church, school, neighborhoods, department stores, restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, colleges etc.etc.etc. Even though those institutions are supported by Black taxes, so yeah...Black people have always subsidized white people by white people giving themselves the majority of the handouts. White people benefit from Black taxes

Never Get A Tattoo If You Can't Understand What It Says

takatori Report

Have you ever been in a situation where you randomly blank out or end up doing something silly, and wonder, "What was I thinking?" Welcome to the world of brain farts – those awkward moments when our mind stops functioning, leaving us confused and sometimes embarrassed.

Our brains are incredibly complex organs, capable of processing vast amounts of information efficiently. But they experience hiccups from time to time, or 'cognitive dysfunction'.

To be fair, same caller might also have called in a suspicious looking white person. Some people are paranoid of everyone. And there have been cases of white people dressing as cops to commit crimes.

The question is would they have called in a white person "in police clothes", though. My guess would be NO.

I told him I saw the gentleman faintiing and thought it must have been the heat. I got 1 wweeks punishment for being flippant.

Brooklyn 99, Season 4, Episode 16 "MooMoo" tackled this subject. Police Sergeant Terry, played by Terry Crews, goes looking for his daughters comfort toy, 'MooMoo'. He's stopped on the street just after finding it by a white police officer who basically racially profiles him and the police officer immediately puts his hand on his gun. Terry is out of uniform, in his own clothes. If you have Netflix or another platform to be able to watch it on? It's worth a watch.

Yes, I see the wrong here but it remains possible that they would have made the same call regardless of color. A lone officer whose flashlight is hitting bedroom windows and has not identified themselves could be a potential criminal in costume. When police are in our area on foot they leave the lights flashing on their vehicle and let us know if they are on our property or near it. Dad told them to eff off but that's only because he had dementia and would have told the Pope to eff off just as quickly.

Racists always excuse other racists. Believing that racism only applies to the klan is how you let yourself off from your own racism. It is always such a “reasonable” explanation. White people always find it reasonable that cops murder sleeping Black people, Black people not doing anything at all whereas when many of us shoot up schools, theaters, churches you name it, cops manage to take us white people alive and even stop to get us something to eat.

IF BLACKS DID NOT ACT SO S****Y, NON-BLACKS WOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR THEM. NO ONE IS GOING TO RESPECT THUG TRASH-NO MATTER THEIR SKIN COLOR-AND ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE BLACK BECAUSE OF ALL THIE CRIMINAL HISTORY THAT BLACK THUGS HAVE CAUSED! IF THEY ACT LIKE TRASH-THEY ARE TREATED LIKE TRASH AND IT'S SAD THAT THEY HAVE GONE SO UNCHECKED AND UNRAISED FOR SO LONG THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. IF THEY DO NOT LIKE THE WORLDWIDE STEROTYPE-THEN WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO PRESENT IT TO THE WORLD?! IT WILL NEVER CHANGE UNTIL THEY CHANGE-GET THE TRASH OFF THE STREETS (START BY ELIMINATING RAP TRASH THAT PROMOTES NASTY). nO ONE LIKES A THUG-UNLESS IT'S A BLACK THUG, THEN THE PARENTS ENCOURAGE IT! THE PERSON WHO CALL 911 IS NOT THE PROBLEM-BLACK SOCIETY IS THE PROBLEM-AND THEY ARE THE PROBLEM WITH COPS ALSO, IT'S NOT A BLACK-WHITE ISSUE-COPS ARE BLACK TOO! THEY DO NOT WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER-IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD IDENTIFY THE REAL PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT INSTEAD OF SCREAMING RACISM AGAINST THE REST OF THE WORLD!

For all those self-righteous, outraged bois and gals here: ghere was a shooting nearby, it is night, some guy with a flashlight wanders around that place, I do not know if I would not call cops too. How would you describe black male in police clothes in your non-racist language? Did you assume that calling person was white? Sounds a bit racist to me. Does any of you know what kind of neighbourhood was that?

Um, Pan Pawel, If there had just been a shooting, there would be police lights flashing, and also police ALREADY THERE that the scared person could have approached instead of calling to report someone wearing police clothes.

All Because He Felt Bad He Didn’t Pay Her Enough

All Because He Felt Bad He Didn’t Pay Her Enough

A brain fart, which can be linked to cognitive dysfunction, perfectly describes those instances when our mental processes seem to malfunction. Thankfully, many of these glitches are quite common and easy to manage.

We can hit a roadblock when our stress levels skyrocket or we are exhausted. This causes our attention to waver and our memory to play hide-and-seek. Picture this: you're working late in the night, trying to finish a last-minute project, and you keep reading the same paragraph over and over again, unable to understand a word of it.

It is hard to concentrate when our brains are pushed to the limit. In order to recharge our batteries, we should indulge in relaxing activities or hit the gym. This will not only soothe our soul but also help kick stress to the curb.

What Is This New Email You Speak Of?

phaerietales Report

In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, staying focused can be difficult. One moment of distraction, and bam! our train of thought derails, leaving us wondering where it all went wrong. That's the magic (or rather, the mischief) of a brain fart, it sneaks up on us when we least expect it, turning our well-laid plans into hilarious moments.

Participating in meditation events or learning new breathing techniques helps to sharpen our attention and focus on the present moment. In fact, organizational tools such as calendars or to-do lists are a great way to keep your appointments and tasks in check. A structured approach helps prevent those "oops" moments.

While multitasking is impressive, sometimes it's a recipe for disaster. When we attempt to do too many tasks at once, our brains get overwhelmed, like a computer that has too many tabs open. And just like that, we start to lag because of the overload.

To avoid going from lightning-fast to snail's pace, one should focus on one task at a time. When we keep switching between different things, our brains need time to refocus and this prevents us from fully immersing ourselves in the task at hand. It’s harder to achieve meaningful progress while multitasking. So, remember to take a deep breath, and tackle things like the productivity pro you are.

A Person Who Hacked My Credit Card Emailed Me, Asking Why I Canceled His Flight

A Person Who Hacked My Credit Card Emailed Me, Asking Why I Canceled His Flight

My credit card was hacked. I think the guy did it by hacking my Gmail account because he signed up for Priceline using the Gmail login button.

I called my bank and canceled it. I logged into Priceline to see if I could get any information about the person who booked the flight. I saw I could cancel it for no charge. So I did it because it was going to be faster to get a refund from Priceline than my bank.

Two days later I got this email. It had his photo and phone number. It matched the name on the flight too.

Don’t forget, sleep is your brain's secret weapon that keeps your cognitive powers in top shape. Not getting enough rest can impair memory, attention, and your decision-making abilities. Imagine: You are staring blankly at the fridge, wondering what exactly you are looking for. It's like your brain hit the snooze button along with your alarm clock.

That's why it's important to prioritize quality sleep. Aim for a solid 7-9 hours of uninterrupted shut-eye every night, and it will help you efficiently tackle whatever challenges the day throws your way.
