Over the years, we at Bored Panda have seen a lot of wholesome TikTok trends, like the one that had users telling their closest people they're enough or another that inspired children to share how cool their parents were. But the platform also has plenty of funny challenges.

The latest one is called "estoy cansado." Translated from Spanish, this phrase means "I'm tired," and folks are using it to label videos where they show their exhausted everyday items.

Scrolling through the uploads, we've noticed quite a few pencils, cords, and even credit cards pushed to their very limits. So we decided to commemorate these objects for their long service and dedicate a whole publication to them. Hopefully, the hard workers will get to retire soon. They've earned it!"

My mother is a public school teacher (India), and children do use pencils just like this there because they are too poor to afford even a new pencil. So from a really young age my mother never lets us throw away anything that can be reused. She takes every such thing and give it to her students. Stationeries, old clothes, plastic bottles, books, newspaper etc. Needless to say she is their favourite teacher. I mean she used our Netflix account to show the kids our eart ( they were super intrigued). She also buys the classes candies, and never gives out homework. The kids don't come to school when she's on a holiday. And on Teachers day and her birthdays she gets a boxful of cards!

Honestly I’m just impressed that someone managed to sharpen it so short 👍

At my first job, I had to show a pencil to my boss like this one before I could get another pencil. Also, I had to reuse the back of adding machine paper so to double its use. He really didn't want to spend money (because a pencil costs so much).

I had friends in school that took it as an accomplishment that they could use a pencil this long!!!

How do you even sharpen it that small?! When I tried to do this when I was younger, it would get stuck in the pencil sharpener, then the teacher would yell at me lol

A strange feeling of anxiety was provoked by looking at this picture. Strange.

Actually it seems like a toothbrush used for cleaning in a car shop or orher place, not cleaning tooth. Someone just placed a toothpaste jext to it just for the sake of the picture.

Looks like a cable for an Apple 'Lightning' interface. A replacement is likely to be quite expensive.

Hopefully they don’t need an accurate measurement of something between 14 an 16 cm.

Gross. Think about the amount of dead skin and mites in that wreck of pillow.

What is this? It sort of looks like a hockey stick, but I don’t think that’s what it is

Homeowners Insurance sees pictures like this and mounts a serious effort to track the people down.

Yet another person desperately trying to commit arson on their house and make it look like an accident.

I think some of these examples are from people who are experiencing some form of poverty. I don't think anyone would purposefully wear such a threadbare tee unless they had no other choice.
