Use the internet often enough and you'll soon start to think that the world full of villains. But there are plenty of heroes who are there to protect you from them. And not all of them wear capes. Some are wearing bear costumes while they tear apart tents of Black Friday campers. Others are rocking a baseball cap when they're saving beer from a burning house. Bored Panda has compiled a list of our saviors, and their bravery is worth all the attention it can get. Yes, they might not be fighting the Joker or Magneto, but their courageous acts are making the world a better place nonetheless. And are putting a smile on our faces in the process. Scroll down to meet the heroes and upvote your favorites!

I never understood the obsession with these people? They have done absolutely nothing to be famous. They contribute nothing to society and not one of them is pretty. They are all plastic and famous by association.

The funny part is I generally tended to EXCEED the number of pages or words needed for an essay. I once needed help shortening my essay because it was far too long.

The swastika was used in Hinduism and Buddhism for centuries to denote positivity. I've always wondered why the Nazis took the symbol and it's sad that it is seen in such a negative light now because of its use over a 10 year period in Germany.

Elevators don't always start on the first floor. If someone is going from 6-2, quite reasonable to take the elevator. Not to mention any number of disabilities or heavy objects that render stairs impossible.

I tried the "take the stairs" once in a local hospital. After climbing 4 flights I found out that all the stairway doors are locked from the stairway, the only one you can get out from is on the ground floor. It seems that they are considered for emergency use only so you can get into the stairway to escape a fire or something, but can't get out until you get to the ground.

I worked at the front desk of a building with 2 elevators. One of the elevators was closed down for repairs. You wouldn't believe the crowds in front of the elevator. There were only 3 floors! That meant that 1/3 of these people were unwilling to walk up one lousy floor!
