50 Times People Posted Something So Hilariously Dumb, It Had To Be Shared Further (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertX, the platform that was once Twitter, is the ideal playground for verbal humor.

Now there are double the characters and double the opportunity for funny stories.
The Instagram account Really Dumb Tweets finds the best jokes and funny posts on the platform. Even their bio claims that they're "posting the funniest tweets you'll ever read." The page also has a huge following – their current follower count is at 1.6 million. So scroll through these humorous gems and upvote your favorite ones!
And to know more about what makes a funny tweet successful, read our interview with comedic writer, actor and director Emma Tattenbaum-Fine. She's also the author of the collection of essays Trash Mermaid, and Bored Panda asked her what makes a successful tweet and what to avoid when trying to be funny on X (Twitter).

I imagine that Mr. DeBlasio was a pretty satisfied guy.
Load More Replies...Our science teacher also did this. Which is why I never understood the whole "magnum" thing. Been with some large guys. Don't recall them ever needing to pull out the good ol' Magnum.
the magnum clearly exists to charge more for insecure men.
Load More Replies...My sex Ed teacher rolled a condom up her arm to opera glove length to prove the same point, then said "Gentlemen; If this is too small for you, it won't be a problem, because trust me, no woman is going to let you near her body anyway"
I remember that sausages were a bad thing for school to serve for lunch that day.
Not ‘bigging up’ my husband but there are different sizes available for a reason, not so much for length but definitely for girth, ever take off a pair of socks and you see indentations on your skin where they have been too tight around your leg? Same thing happens with condoms (not on your leg but you get the jist)
6th grade - 1962 - we were shown a film where a man and woman lie down by a crackling fireplace (fully clothed) and the next scene was with a baby....Did anyone ask questions? Of course not, but we all avoided fireplaces for years until we learned otherwise...
I remember our teacher told us in 5th grade that only the heavy girls in our class probably had their periods now. I had, but I was SO skinny, but I didnt tell anyone about my period for 2 years because I was affraid that something was wrong with me and because I lit thought that I was obese
I have a daughter that just started. We have educated her enough, so no worries there. But she was embarrassed to tell us herself. I think she secretly knew her sister would tell us if she told her first, so that's what she did. She was behind her sister saying "no... quiet", but in a a joking manner, laughing. So, I'm fairly confident in saying she told us in exactly the way she was most comfortable in doing so.
Load More Replies...In 2019 Emma Tattenbaum-Fine wrote a piece for Gold Comedy titled "How To Be Funny On Twitter." In it, she called being funny on Twitter "an art." She also commented on the brevity the platform requires.
"It is tough to squeeze your genius into 280 characters, but it's worth it," she wrote in the article. "No matter what, it's great practice for concise, show-don't-tell writing, and a perfect place to test out your jokes."
I have a big carboard box filled with many other folded cardboard boxes :-)
Load More Replies...I have a box filled with random Tupperware lids that do not match any container I own. Why do I keep them? One day I’ll find that matching container…..one day….
If you throw one out, you will find its bowl.
Load More Replies...They're banned where my sibling lives too, so the rest of the family always makes sure to bring him some when we visit. He has a cat, so he uses them a lot.
Load More Replies...I have a car boot filled with bags within bags. Makes shopping difficult as there is nowhere to put the shopping because of all the bags
Every house in the South has always had them around. Those are mostly used as trash bags in my house and they are awesome when your dealing with chickens, onions, etc. Or bagging up potluck, Tupperware containers or cool whip, country crock, or whatever plastic you have if your old fashioned or poor. Basically we use them for EVERYTHING you can think of. Is it just me or is Wal-Mart's plastic bags getting thinner? WinCo still has good bags but other stores seems to have gone really cheap.
In my country the bags arent available. Along with most other plastic. Just back from USA where i was reminded how much plastic we once had
No dentists, just a sharp stick to pry out those rotten teeth... sounds like great vibes to me!
In many cases, there is a formula between funny tweets. Back then Emma covered the comedy devices that show up in many of the successful posts on X (Twitter) – the "me, an intellectual," "you had one job," "don't @ me," "TED talk time" tweets and many more.
But of course, a successful tweet is only measured by the number of people it reaches. If the post got popular only among your friends and family, can you really call it a success? So we asked Emma Tannenbaum-Fine whether certain elements can help a funny tweet gain traction.
Is there like a dog tracker app, that accessable dogs in your area are pinned on a map with blurbs and reviews. "Pug, in waiting room/reception of Grants mechanics. likes ear rubs, 10/10 would pet again." "Husky puts head over fence here to say awoo, will offer toys, wants you to throw them. Aim for left side of yard, rosebushes on right. 10/10." "Michael's pet shop, two dogs. Mikey the yorkie behind the counter, do not pet, he loves people watching, but only takes pets from staff. Will growl. 9/10. Lena/leaner, Whippet, free range in shop, loves people, loves pets, wants to lean on your legs, so watch your balance or sit down and she'll climb in your lap. Has been known to knock over small children and sit on them. 10/10, happy to sit down for you Lena."
Well, what are you waiting for? You've just discovered your life's work!
Load More Replies...We need more places named like this, I wish I lived on 'Belly Rub Lane'
That's fantastic! We have something similar where I live. It's call Dog Sh*t Alley
Yes. Nothing dumb about this one. In law school I had to drive home to pet my own dog.
Load More Replies...OMG I take a detour on my walk home from school for almost this exact same reason!!!
I walked a mile to the train for my year of college, and every morning had to leave early enough to spend a few minutes with a Basset hound who lived along my route. One Saturday afternoon I was walking home and went past the Basset's house, and he came out baying to greet me, and his person came over and asked if I was the guy who stopped every morning at 0515. He said it was okay, just wondering. Doggie's name was Edgar.
I know, I honestly thought we'd be done with this nonsense by now
Load More Replies...That happened to my SIL at a DOD presentation. She didn’t answer him, she just went to the head of the boardroom table to conduct the meeting. 😂😂
Imagine if a woman walked into the board room and asked the first man she saw to whip her up a coffee?
And you decided that 20 minutes into the meeting was a good time to go on reddit and report this?
Didn't you notice that the meeting was being led by a woman? It might well have been finished by then.
Load More Replies...So deserved. I hope he spent weeks on pins and needles over his blatant chauvinism.
NO worry, he'll find some woman to take his humiliation out on and make himself feel OK again. It will probably take ruining 3-4women's days to feel on top again.
Load More Replies...She should have said… no, but YOU, can get me coffee3 Sugars and cream.. i will be waiting here while you do that and then we can start the meeting. Oh and feel free to get yourself coffee also. Thank you….sweetie!
Who does that these days? How dense and out of touch do you have to be to think the only job a woman can have is as an assistant?
They don't need sunscreen, they already got plenty of shade thrown at them.
Load More Replies...Ambulance and fire crew. Damn mom, she kamahamaha'd him like no tomorrow with that burn!
Emma says that a good, funny tweet should have similar characteristics to a good joke. "A successful, funny tweet, like a good joke, sets up an expectation and then breaks it with a surprise," she tells Bored Panda.
Nice! But, why is this one filed under 'Really Dumb Tweets'? (...wondering if/when BP will change the title of this post so that my comment becomes obsolete...).
years ago I ran and after hour pub, had a few colourful characters in. On guy, Jose or more 'oze! had a lorry tractor head, been inside for drug smuggling. He was out on parole and getting in to all sorts of doggie stuff. He was an OK dude but just couldn't keep straight. I hid a gun for him once when the cops came round doing a check. A few month later a little moped I had was stolen. Wasn't worth much but would have cost me to get another. It was really useful for whizzing would town on errands. Jose finds out jumps on his tractor head and comes back an hour later calls me outside 3 mopeds tied to the back, which ones yours??
Potentially one of those gorgeous little chirps they do. If the kitten didn't want to be petted, that boy would definitely know and pretty quickly at that! My cat makes the chirp sound when I wake her up at meal times, she's absolutely adorable.
Load More Replies...I think I would have thanked the kitten also and I'm not autistic at all
I liked the Rick and Morty episode where a 'Needful Things' shop came to town and Rick opened a shop over the road that removed the curses but kept the benefits active just to wind the shop owner up
Load More Replies...Shopkeeper increasingly annoyed: *Throws spooky cursed items and hopes they will do damage Me, tired and unharmed: Nothing can harm me more than taxes other dumb sh*t. So, I'm immune to these things.
What the shopkeeper means....I have a sucker here so Im going to bump the prices up pronto
The comedy writer has some advice for people who want their tweets to get a little bit of traction. It needs three main elements: to relate to current events, be relevant to a wide audience, and give an authentic opinion.
"A good tweet, in particular, is probably going to be something topical that is top of mind for everyone, that then finishes with a fresh take, giving the reader something clever they hadn't considered before that is infused with a clear point of view.
Cardiomegaly is a serious issue. Talk to your doctor ;)
Load More Replies...Regardless of how many times I see this, it always makes me teary-eyed.
Presumably that wasn't filmed for a TV advert, tho!
Load More Replies...of cause not, there are hundreds of dentist and they only ask 10, so the odds of them asking you is miniscule.
They're referring to commercials that say "9 out of 10 dentists recommend xyz"
Load More Replies...My dentist has a screen in the waiting room that plays short films and cartoons about dental health. One of them was about how much toothpaste to use-it went into detail about how adverts always showed a toothbrush completely laden with the head covered in paste, complete with an ice cream like twirl on top, but the proper amount was a pea sized drop about 1/3 the length of the brush head, and that excess paste did nothing except put toothpaste company profits up. That's the only thing my dentist has ever said about paste. She has a huge tub of sample sized tubes of paste she gets from companies, all types and flavours, in a size perfect for taking on holiday, and customers can take a handful to try out. Kind of makes up a little for the eye-watering prices!
I know. Must be the only university in all the land.
Load More Replies...Is human toothpaste safe for dogs and cats? (hint: not really due to detergents and most dogs and cats don't rinse and spit).
I asked my dentist once if he know of any unsweetened toothpaste, one that doesn't have any saccharine or similar in it, and he was totally stumped. He said that he should know and was frazzled by his not knowing. He was a dentist for 15 years at the time.
Even if so, it's none of her business. Also, didn't Jesus himself say not to judge people? I don't understand why so many Christians do this when it literally says bot to in the bible.
he also said money lenders are evil and look how many bankers call themselves christians, his chick pal was a hooker, greed is a sin so we can deduce from this that christians are as full of s**t as the rest of us
Load More Replies...I wonder who the "Christian" panda is who is downvoting any comment they perceive as challenging to their beliefs. Someone else with a heavily edited version of the bible, I presume (all the bits about turn the other cheek; do unto others; love thy neighbour etc carefully removed!).
Yeah love how these types pick and choose whatever they think suits them..
I thought that was because of the sneky snake and the apple, not because they were flucking.
Load More Replies...Don’t get my started on the animal kingdom, bunch of heathens
Granted, not all jokes on X (Twitter) are winners. Some inevitably end up being real duds. Emma says that oftentimes people forget to infuse their tweets with a fresh take.
"When I go back and read, or randomly encounter, cringey things my friends and I said online ten or maybe twelve years ago, the common pitfall is: they tend to be just observations or complaints or half-baked thoughts," Emma admits.
"There's nothing terrible about that, but it's not funny if it's missing that element of surprise and a clear, original point of view."
Don't worry, we all have brain.exe has stopped working moments sometimes😅
I explain it as our brains are like hairdryers, they overheat and stop working occasionally. when they cool down, they work.
Load More Replies...Autumn is a nice season. Love the desperate screaming of five hundred first-year plant lovers.
Hahaha, I wonder if the woman was me? I worked in a garden centre 4 years ago, and I had this exact interaction with a customer. It still makes me giggle. I also had a customer who told me she cut off the ugly twigs at the bottom of orchids, to which I had to inform her she was cutting off the roots. Or the lady who was worries why her olive just wasn't growing and starting to look like the olive tree in our cafe patio. Had to tell her that tree was 200 years old...
So somehow I have skills to summon Autumn any day of the year?
Load More Replies...My mother cannot grasp the fact that just because the flowers on her orchid wilted and fell off, that does not mean the whole orchid plant is dead. This is how I came to be the foster parent for like 10 orchids over the years.
I see you have never been haunted by such things (everyone's brain works differently). I still cringe at stupid/embarrassing things I did 10, 20, even 30 years ago.
Load More Replies..."if you could just let your legs fall apart for me- oh, and please help yourself to some brie"
I work in women’s health and EVERY SINGLE MEETING I say “we need chocolate and muffins and coffee to offer the patients” and NO ONE BLOODY TAKES ME SERIOUSLY!
I've had two transvaginal ultrasounds and I really think I should have been given a glass of wine first or at least a nice cup of tea after
Load More Replies...In my country we have public healthcare so private providers are forced to up their game just so that anyone will go to them. The people I went to for my MRI had rigged up the machine so you could watch YouTube videos in there.
My first gyno grew up with my Mom and her siblings. So, during the exam, he would always ask how my youngest uncle was doing (who he was friends with). I'm sure it was an effort to help relax me with casual conversation. But, let me just say, my uncle is NOT something I want to think about while all that is going on.
The problem is that people realised how important it is to be able to do things like that and still bristle at the idea to pay essential workers better while reducing their hours. All those 'low skill' jobs are still essential and still earn a ton of money for the companies, but somehow people still claim that the company deserves that money more than the workers who earned it because their labour is 'unskilled'. It's ridiculous. People should be paid accordingly and in relation to the worth their work generates and in relation to how much we need that work to be done. Wanting to pay for skills only is nothing but the excuse to fatten the bank accounts of the execs. And the quarantine has made that painfully obvious. That's why essential workers hate the upper class.
Load More Replies...Parents working from home while watching their preschool kids HATE these tweets.
So do people who lived alone struggling with loneliness, those living in unsave conditions at home and those loosing their jobs during covid...
Load More Replies...And for the rest of the population trying to wfh while schooling 3 kids while their partner was out of the house risking life and limb as an essential worker? I don’t know any of these dancey, bready, arty people but I’m glad you had fun.
This is no such thing... yes, there was countless continuing suffering; no, nobody would have asked for it, and nobody would invite it back... but many of us were saved from personal hells that we couldn't have escaped otherwise, short of offing ourselves.
Load More Replies...I remember it from other people whining about it while I worked double shifts propelling educational systems and their users into the digital age. :p It was nice having the road mostly to myself on the way to work though, less nice that I wasn’t even allowed time off to care for dying relatives.
I was in prison at the time. From having the right to go out and about in our unit, "medical", religious services, outdoor and indoor rec, we were kept not only just in our units, but in our rooms. Everything was brought to us. Once per (8 hr.) Shift, our unit guard would let us get hot water (cooking hot) and ice. No TV or gaming room, showers were scheduled, no laundry (no laundry was relaxed quickly). We weren't allowed phone or computer time, and had to ask to go to the bathroom. This was late winter or early spring of '20. Regulations were slowly relaxed, but it was extremely difficult.
That sounds like a lot of solitary time. What did you do to keep yourself and mind occupied during that time?
Load More Replies...Yep I was working at food 4 less a grocery store at the time fun s**t (sarcasm in case anyone is dense enough not to know)
cleaner here... what bothered me most was that they would chear and clap for the essential workers at night, and meanwhile couldnt be assed to throw their used tissues and masks IN the bin, so i had to pick them up from the floor each night.
Remember when covid was on it's peak , hospitals were overcrowded, whole country was in lockdown and we still had to go to work no matter what?
How can joke aficionados and word craftsmen avoid that? Tattenbaum-Fine says the writers should dig deeper. She suggests asking yourself: 'What do I really, honestly, think about this topic?'
As things go we might buy our Christmas presents from the grocery isle soon.
Actually, I give a box of food anonymously every year to a family I know. I will eat ramen noodles myself but they have children.
Load More Replies...I just want half price fruit, veg, meat, dairy, eggs, that kind of thing. But let's be honest. The profit margin on straight forward proper food isn't all that high. The more the food has been mucked about with, the higher the profit, and the more wriggle room is for discounts or offers.
That exists here. Noodles 90% discount and similar offers on black friday.
Black Friday gets people killed. NOT something I think we need ANY more of. Cyber Monday is a much less lethal idea and maybe a whole week of discounted prices at the grocery store? But the point of black friday was never discounts - it's fake discounts to rake in extra money.
I’ve seen this in seven different posts and I laugh my butt off every time!
Imagining Pink Elephants in green meadows... Pink Elephants in green meadows ...
There used to be one middle aged guy in my ballet class. (Which is cool. Men can be dancers too.) But this guy seemed to forget to wear underpants under his shorts. Every time. There were quite a few dodgy moments when I thought we were all about to get a glimpse of something none of us wanted to see. I referred to him as Freeballin' Guy. :)
I would go in with as many friends as I could with fake names like Jeannie Hearse and Michael Hunt. I would add costumes and have someone go in wearing a navy uniform and identify as Stains. The killing blow would be a black guy with bushy ginger hair, beard and moustache dressing in ninja gear
"If you dig deep and check in with yourself, your honest response to a current event might be totally unique and unusual because YOU are unique and unusual. People say lame and unfunny things because they are afraid to go a little further and find what's true for themselves. It's easier to play it safe," the comedy writer concludes.
How many times will I read this in different posts? How many?
One day you'll realise it wasn't the same tweet it just had twins
Load More Replies...I did similar once. My friend's dad was a twin. I went to her house and her dad was in the garage fixing up an old car (not unusual for him). I was talking to him and he was monosyllabic. I went to my friend and asked if her dad was ok. She said, yes, he's in the kitchen, you've been talking to Uncle Peter.
Never questioned they were speaking to a ghost? Never mentioned it to anyone?
Well be honest, if you saw a ghost and it regularly said hello to you but you didn't see anyone else interacting with the ghost, would you honestly tell anyone? Ot seems OP didn't have a close relationship to the brothers, they just saw them occasionally on campus.
Load More Replies...Sounds like BS, but absolutely true. Years ago, a work friend died of cancer. Completely wasted away, no mustache...didn't look like himself at all (God, I hate open casket services). His identical twin brother, who none of us knew he had, came and wore his brother's hat and glasses. His family was amused, everyone else was shocked. Turned out he planned it. He asked his brother to come that way
I used to live in a large city and rode the same bus line regularly. There was a guy who I would also see regularly on the bus, for a number of years. He had very distinct eyes and beautiful long curly dark hair. One day I was riding the bus and he was sitting in front of me. We made a stop and he got on the bus again. That's when I learned that there were two of him (aka who I thought was one guy was in fact two brothers).
If she didn't know the twin brother existed, why would the twin brother be greeting her on campus?
Reminds me of that case where a guy arrived at college for the first time only to keep being greeted by total strangers who addressed him by the wrong name but acted as if they'd known him for years and that's how he found out he had a long lost twin brother who had previously gone to that college. And then the two of them found out there were in fact THREE of them, all separated at birth by an adoption agency.
Ladies, women have spent generations of time objecting to being called 'girls' when we're grown a*s women. Unless you matched with a literal child on that dating app, he was a man not a boy.
I mean, he could have been fresh out of high school. idk about you, but to me people are still kinda kids to me till they're like 25 ish. Also maybe the real problem is treating kids like they're less than just because they're young??
Load More Replies...Sleep with one eye open: "Send me ONE MORE motivational quote - I DARE you."
Load More Replies...I think "unstoppable" is probably the wrong word here, but, you know...
They should make these with random Samuel L Jackson quotes instead. "I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and fuuuuurious anger..."
Emma is a professional comedy writer and director. She launched her Substack 2 years ago and is currently mostly writing on that platform. "I haven't paid Twitter (X) a visit in a long time," Emma admits. At its beginning, the site was a great opportunity for aspiring comics to get themselves known.
100% would watch. They should add a twist like their mum reads the messages they have received and how disgusted these sons would feel after that.
Load More Replies...MTV should play music. Oh, wait. Nevermind, I'm old. I remember back when History channel showed history.
Know what you’re talking about. It hasta do with sponsors, not our delicate sensibilités.
Load More Replies...That would be interesting. The police and ambulance reports would be a good read too.
Mine said it in the most sarcastic sounding way whenever I did anything, I have no clue if anything I ever do is good or terrible.
For anyone who doesn't understand - Ku Klux Klan - american, white supremacist, terrorist group.
In a cute twist on this, my (non-Jewish) husband calls me ‘honeydew’ because I’m his honey and a Jew and he appreciates my melons! 🙄😂😂
Load More Replies...@Corgi Queen: yes, the "normal" clan is spelled clan, but the Ku Klux Klan is spelled this way (KKK), PS: I highly recommend watching the movie "Black KKKlansman".
That is a great movie. I second this recommendation.
Load More Replies...Regardless of connotations, Keath Kotton seriously sounds like a villain's alter ego name to me XP
When acronyms spell a word, people usually just say the word instead of the individual letters because it's easier. Sometimes that works out in the organization's favor (ex. the fictional organization "S.H.I.E.L.D. sees itself as a shield for humanity, so they like being called "Shield") But with this case, it would cause a lot of confusion as there is an entirely different group of people already called "Jew".
Load More Replies...But I feel like one is offensive and the other not. I’m confused.
I mean, on the one hand, they could be antisemitic, alternatively, they don't want anyone thinking they are or are trying to claim to be or who is antisemitic to idk, lash out at them?? People are weird enough that a lot of buildings don't have 13th floors, even though they have 20th floors, just to avoid the 'bad luck' thing.
Load More Replies...Lol, Nope that's not how that works. you don't get to choose for people not to use your acronym. you had a choice when you named your company, and YOU made it.
Most companies don't intend their company name being used as an acronym, which it seems what happened here. They seemed to have intended their business to be known only as the company name, not for the acronym that someone else, non-affiliated chose to use in a tweet.
Load More Replies...We ask Emma if she thinks Twitter (X) is still a place for aspiring comics and writers to get their start. "I think of Twitter now as a place for journalists to share breaking news and then for sociopaths to yell about it," she tells Bored Panda honestly. "But that doesn't mean that quality content won't get noticed."
I was somewhere in Paris, and we found a tiny Italian restaurant. We walk in and the only people there were 5 older italian men in suits, drinking scotch and smoking cigars seated at a round table. The looked genuinely surprised, and said there was a better restaurant down the street. I laughed and said, if you are worried thqat we are going to hear your mob plans, don't...k=none of us speak italian. One of them thought it was funny, and he and an older gentleman seated us, brought us pasta and sauce, bread, minestrone soup, and kept our glasses of wine full. They were funny, and when we asked for our bill, they refused to let us pay anything. I told them, I'll meet you in Sicily for the hit next week, and they all laughed, kissed us all goodbye, and walked us to the door. Truly one of the best experiences of my life, but I know something was going down in Sicily that following week!
And then the minestrone stood up and clapped.
Load More Replies...I had a similar one at a tiny langos shop. I was pregnant, really craved langos but it is only served on carnivals here. Only langos restaurant I ever seen here. They tried to talk me out of having a lango but I didnt take no for an answer 😂. Insistant preggie lady got her lango aftera long wait while they tried to figure things out and is was awesome.
What is "langos" and which country did this happen?
Load More Replies...My boss has a similar story about a restaurant in Chicago. The food was fantastic but always took forever and he was seemingly the only patron yet the place was open for years.
I had the same experience buying cookies in a Mexican bakery in a rough part of LA.
They probably just ordered from a nearby pizza place lol
I worked renovating a bar, owners use to come to the bar on Fridays to pay us. They drove big Cadillac and paid us with hundred dollar bills. Really nice guys. Found out later that we're with mob out of Philly.
If these stories are true, my life has been even duller than I'd realized.
Some are true. I walked into a place in Brooklyn when I was 14 to get a cappuccino. It was like 10 pm, I’ve never seen a room go silent before. They made me my drink to go and I had a good talk with an older man in a tailored 3 piece suit standing outside…just standing, looking past us every now and then, but very polite. A few other well dressed guys walked up and I took that as my cue to leave. It was absolutely a mafia place. The cappuccino was delicious.
Load More Replies...Years ago went to a doughnut shop in my new neighborhood in San Francisco. At the counter and they didn't know what to charge me for what turned out to be a very stale doughnut... I realized that all of the two dozen or so older Asian gentleman sitting at tables inside each had a Styrofoam cup, no food, and a small Chinese newspaper, so betting front.
We had a burger chain here which made some of THE best burgers I ever tasted and had really good beers on tap, too. Then the whole thing suddenly shut down, which was when we found out it had been a front for a biker gang the whole time.
I have great respect for the people who never watched Game of Thrones and don't feel the need to tell everyone.
I like that nobody answered this post to say "Yeah, that's me!"
Load More Replies...I had some people explain it to me and it will forever be known to me as Incest and Dragons. I still haven't and won't watch it
Thank you for giving a reason that makes sense. All of these "Peer pressure isn't my weakness" comments have been irritating me. But starting a new TV show is a commitment and I understand your reasons.
Load More Replies...Um, ok. I like the show, despite the flaws, but I feel OP is not only giving the show too much credit, but people in general as if it's such a great accomplishment to avoid a show/movie. With the number of people on Earth, the number of things to watch, and the variety of people's tastes, everyone has NOT seen something popular, and not because they should be in awe of avoiding peer pressure. 🙄. Yep, this entry sure qualifies as dumb.
You took this a bit personally didn't you? One of, if not THE, largest US export is media (tv/movies) and MANY MANY countries around the world do partake. However, I believe the OP is referring to the people that lived in countries where the vast majority of the population was exposed to it.
Load More Replies...Ive never seen it on tv but i saw them filming it in wales, im guessing theres a lot of dismemberment because they wanted extras specifically with missing limbs 😅
I was offered membership to Hell's Angels in the back of my ambulance. (EMT here) It is very strange...
My little sister was a prison guard who treated the inmates like humans (as they should be treated.) She had one connected guy say, "I like the way you handle things. If anyone ever gives you any trouble, you need anything, just let me know." She couldn't figure out how to put "got an in with the Mob" on her resume.
I’d ask him if being taken care of including running some errands for me, helping me with housework, and putting the kettle on.
I’ve been threatened numerous times by gang members if I didn’t “fix” their dude who was brought in with multiple gunshots. Thankfully nothing happened (yet) but I don’t play favorites regarding providing treatment to people anyway.
I used to work at Juvi and on the outside with most gang kids. I've got a connection with almost all of the local gangs, even though they are opposing, and have been offered every drug or "service". It's always odd to have a teenager seriously tell you. "Miss Cthulhu Kitty just let us know what you need, we got you." That and hearing about murder so nonchalant. Fyi for those not in the know. The big mouth gangstas that brag are posers. It's the quiet one that people leave alone, they are the true shot callers.
On the other hand, at least you know you're appreciated.
I worked in a restaurant in Bloods territory for a while. When a group of Crips came in one time, there was some tense conversation between the competing gangs (and my security guard s**t bricks). Later one of the Bloods called me over and told me that they had warned the Crips that they were not going to let them pull any stunts in my restaurant or walk out without paying without serious repercussions - because I was "all right". I had always treated them well and that is how they re payed me.
I lived in a sketchy neighborhood a few years ago. I was warned that my next door neighbors were major drug dealers, known for some pretty violent run-ins. I was a single female in my 20s, and I'll admit, I was nervous. One day, I needed help reaching the chandelier in my hallway. It was just out of reach, but I really needed light there. In a moment of desperation, I saw my neighbor (a verrrrrrry big man) outside, and decided to chance it. I asked for help. He came in, changed the lightbulbs for me, then asked if I needed any other help. Said to please stop by and ask anytime. He was absolutely one of the nicest people I have ever met. One night, all of the cars on my street were broken into. Mostly damage. They weren't stealing anything, just being horrible and causing people problems. Mine wasn't touched. I know why. Thanks, Derek, for always watching out for me. Three years later, police raided the house and they all got put away. I called and put some money in his account every so
often. He looked out for me. I looked out for him. That was about 20 years ago. I hope he's out and living his best life. It definitely changed how I view "thugs."

And if they both married their respective boyfriends, they would now be sister-daughter and sister-mom, and the younger one would be daughter-granddaughter.
My mother and I are raising my great-nieces together. For reasons, my mom legally adopted them. So they are my biological nieces, legally my sisters, but we treat our relationship as mother/daughter (they both call me Mom). Legally, they are aunts to their birth mother, and sister to their birth grandmother (my sister). Yeah, their genealogy charts are confusing.

NO. I run hot so coat is always last thing before I go out the door or - often - is just carried. And by "coat" I mean long sleeve flannel shirt, sometimes a hoodie if it is snowing.

I'm a believer now, but I'm not afraid of my soul flying out of my nose when I sneeze. The blessing was to keep demons out long enough for the soul to get back to its body. Once I realized people needed acknowledgement for sneezing, I'd say, "It's nothing to sneeze at." Even now, I'm far more comfortable saying that than offering a blessing so the person isn't possessed before their soul gets back.

Then: golden rings (pheasants), maids a milking (magpies/cattle egret), ladies dancing (lapwing), lords a-leaping (cuckoos), pipers piping (sandpipers), drummers drumming (grouse). Whether that was the original intent behind the song or not, it makes perfect sense to me. Why else would 7/12 gifts be birds but not the other 5?
I was going to say I thought the golden rings were birds, didn't know about the maids, ladies, lords, pipers or drummers.

In walks a group of younger teachers from our school who are high/drunk/both. We made eye contact, silently agreed that neither of existed right now, and continued our night out ignoring each other.
Had a teacher explain that by the very fact that she was a teacher, she couldn't go out to bars because how would our parents feel, seeing one of their kid's teachers at a bar? Meanwhile, had another teacher crack jokes about he and a third teacher rolling joints together. Parent now. Wouldn't care about seeing my kids' teachers at bars. In fact, have seen it frequently.
I have a feeling my math and chemistry teachers might’ve done something similar this weekend
Absolutely. After one harrowing day at work my first year a colleague suggested I go home and have a stiff drink. I responded that I don't drink alcohol. He replied "its never too late to start".
I'm more concerned about all my university friends now having children of their own. Like that guy/girl? That's someone's parent.
I remember seeing my 3rd grade teacher at the grocery store one day and it totally blew my mind! It finally occurred to me that teachers are humans - they eat, they drive, they don't disappear at 3 PM and magically show up again at 8 AM. I was so shocked I couldn't even say Hi Mrs. Sullivan.

The guy's an excellent and fairly fearless skier, but what really happened is that he didn't realize that he triggered the slide and was already committed to the flip and only saw it while he was already in the air. The bravest/stupidest thing was that he turned back under it when continuing left would have taken it out of the path. He talks about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAfrMf8YCdg

Shelters need people to adopt "barn cats ". They are basically feral but need someone to feed them and provide a place for them to go for warmth and protection. That's the risk you have to take with barn cats. They have been strays their whole lives and don't know how to live with humans. These cats need to be adopted too.
This is a much better and more reasonable response than condemning the guy for adopting cats. Especially if he's adopting cats that were on the way to being put down...

Can I just point out that it's usually the childless adults that are expected to cover holiday shifts which are tiring enough as it is. I'm in a relationship (same-sex) and my partner and I had to work every Christmas and New Years for 7 years because 'we don't have a family waiting for us at home.' Erm, the two of us ARE our family and here we are working together on holidays.
Or how about the fact that just because I'm not a mother doesn't mean I don't want to spend they day with my mother

My mom was a nurse (retired, not dead). She would trade her Christmas day with a coworker's New Year's. Mom wanted to do the family Christmas thing, and the coworker wanted to do the New Year party thing.
Listen people everyone deserves time off....if you work a job that is open on holidays it is expected that you will eventually work said holidays....come on now that's silly. Why is everything a fight, an argument, a battle. Live your life.
The single years, it was even MORE important to spend time with family as I saw the, so rarely .
As the only single woman in my department, in the earthquake plan I was the designated as the person who stays until the last kid is picked up and/or stays with any kid who is not picked up. The mother of 7 told the manager that everyone BUT me had partners, spouses, extended family etc, but I had a dog and a cat who were, obviously, entirely dependent on me. The boss didn’t care, but I was grateful that anyone had figured that out.
I had a boss who would let me go on time every time because I had to go walk the dog. The people with kids were stuck there, though.
