Have you SEEN Minibar prices!!

Rent used to be affordable

They usually do. No Ma do not send the nice lawyer man from Nigeria money to unlock your mysterious non existent inheritance.

Yep heard that one

Big fat lie that one

Well it’s not a good idea still

Because it's distracting when someone turns the light on. Plus in the UK the police can pull you over if they think its distracting you and you should not show anything out the back window apart from a red light.

My ex was brushing his teeth over a metal sink when lightning hit the ground next to his farmhouse and he got shocked by it.

I got the cracking your knuckles. Never got arthritis.

Oh no.

Yeah my math skills now suffer because of my phone

Tommy can’t have that executive job because he pulled Jenny’s plaits in 1st grade

Well, feeding wild animals often makes them dependend and unable to survive on their own.

Or you'll die of lead poisoning if you got pencil lead on you. School was scary

My mom still tells me that and I’m in MIDDLE SCHOOL

Despite what most people think, pencils were never made with lead. The ancient Romans were the last to use a piece of lead for marking - they called it a stylus, and it was mostly used on wax or clay, or for marking papyrus. Then, in the 1500's, a massive deposit of graphite was found in Cumbria (England), and sticks of it were whittled into points and used for writing. Because people didn't know any better and chemistry wasn't really a thing yet, people assumed it was a type of very pure lead, which is where this myth came from. The pencil as we know it today was created in the late 1500's when someone had the genius idea to put a stick of this graphite inside a wooden sleeve, and in 1790, someone discovered that you could alter the hardness of the graphite (it's a pretty soft material) by mixing it with clay and kiln firing it. This is the #2 pencil is called the #2 pencil: it was the second on a scale of increasingly harder pencils. Parents have been wrong about this for centuries.

Is this true? Genuine question, can someone explain if so?

My parents never told me this, I was always confused when friends etc told me it because it makes no sense. Lucky too, I couldn't remember most things if I didn't write them on my hand.

My dad!

Tattoos?????

I thought a swan would break my arm at least once in its life

i literally ate an entire burger 5 minutes before swimming and i didnt get a cramp :D

And again. Defiantly the most used one

Any seeds. I always had fear for my guts

I remember the dandelion wine, dandelion greens salad, etc... but the one we always heard was that if you take a buttercup and hold it to your chin, your chin would turn yellow if you liked butter. It's been decades since I've seen a buttercup...

"Quadrangular eyes" was the usual scare here.

Embarrassing, but I love raw meat, and when mom would take a roast out to cook, I'd cut pieces off to eat. That's when Dad decided I was a vampire. To this day, (and I no longer really eat meat), were I to order a steak, I automatically blurt out that I want it so rare it has a chance to escape, it's ingrained into me).

Too much sugar just before bed can make you wake up with a bad headache; it is like a sugar hangover.

Or "it will be in your stomach for 7 years"

"another brand of wack" 😂

So many things would "give us worms". At nearly 40 I'm still worm free

Tangled in your intestines

Again. This was a popular one

If you sit on a radiator you'll get piles.

I remember at a young age I had a friend who thinking back had some sort of I guess birth defect or something. (Not trying to be mean I just literally don't know because it was a long time ago.) But anyway I was friends with this kid, like he was great, but I genuinely thought he made a face and got stuck like that🙃. Thanks for telling me that if you make a face too long it'll stick, mom!
