‘You Had One Job’: 50 Hilarious Fails That People Couldn’t Help Sharing
January 7, 2024
Nobody’s ever entirely sure why these things happen, but they do and it’s both annoying and hilarious. Annoying for those who have to suffer the direct consequences (or those who empathize with said consequences) and hilarious for everyone else.
By that, we do of course mean instances when people had just one single job to do and they managed to blunder it up in the worst ways imaginable. And of course it was all documented online because the internet. You know what to do.

So, why are folks seemingly deliberately bad at their job? There are a number of reasons behind this.
The most clear-cut explanation is that the person is completely incompetent and is thinking with anything else other than their brain. And, sometimes, training and onboarding as well as meetings don’t really help. Because there is no cure for stupid. Well, education is, but you gotta consider the cost-benefit ratio.

Another thing that makes someone a bad employee is their tendency to do a no-show. What is worse is when they are also unreachable. Calling in, not picking up the phone, not responding to communication—all of these mean that the worker is irresponsible and not committed to the job they’ve been hired to do. Sometimes, things like addiction might complicate things further.

Some folks are also compulsive or habitual liars. Either that, or they always have an excuse up their sleeves. Regardless, someone who’d rather lie or make excuses instead of doing a job right, doing it at all, or learning to do it and making something of themselves is a time-waster from a business perspective.
People like this don’t take responsibility for their actions, but work is something that demands taking ownership, so this is another incompatibility that leads to poor results.

Sometimes, people might be careless by nature and fail to follow directions right from the get-go. Now, it might be a simple case of “I didn’t read it” and doing so might resolve the issue, but some might not have the aptitude to internalize it and would continue to make the same mistakes. In turn, their lack of consideration, ignoring protocol and taking shortcuts leads to headaches for everyone else.

And, sometimes, it’s just the case of a bad attitude. They don’t give a gaw-giggity about the customers, the merchandise, the quality, nothing. This often means they are unwilling to collaborate, let alone to do a good job, and even more so when their arrogance and asocialism doesn’t allow them to draw the right conclusions and to become better employees.

Besides being innately bad, there might also be external factors for why someone is bad at their job.
Being poorly paid is at the top of the list, but it becomes worse when the employee also feels like they are stuck there having to suffer the bad paycheck without any exit strategy.

Having a bad boss, being overly managed and underappreciated do not help in the quality of the work being done. Why do a good job if the boss isn’t going to be happy about it anyway? Either that, or it’s about quantity, not quality that pushes employees to assume different work priorities. That also likely kills the passion for work somewhere along the way.
#22

Image credits: YouHadOnlyONEJob
#24

Image credits: YouHadOnlyONEJob
There might also be other factors at play—factors like being stuck with poor job security or not being able to sort out your work-life balance.
An employee will never be a good one if their needs aren’t met to a sufficient degree, and that means reassuring them that their job is not at stake and encouraging self-care rather than min-maxing how things are done.

And if it’s none of the above, chances are it’s laziness.
While laziness breeds more laziness and it can become a habit, habits can also be broken. It’s not something people are born with, but rather a behavior that can be phased out. The idea is to learn to be industrious: do things that energize you (sleep, exercise, etc.), work first and reward yourself later, and visualize productiveness (make it tangible and reflect upon it). That’s at least a good start.

What’s the difference between recreational marijuana and medical marijuana
December 22, 2023
The recreational use of marijuana and medical marijuana differ in various ways. Recreational marijuana refers to the use of cannabis for recreational purposes, such as recreational activity or pleasure-seeking. Conversely, medical marijuana is used for therapeutic reasons and to treat symptoms of certain health conditions. The main differences between recreational and medical marijuana are in the way it is regulated, the types of cannabis products available, and the chemical composition of those products.
In recreational marijuana, there are fewer restrictions on what types of cannabis can be purchased and consumed. The recreational marijuana market consists mainly of dried flower buds that contain a range of different cannabinoids. On the other hand, medical marijuana is heavily regulated in terms of which medical conditions it can be prescribed to treat and what types of cannabis can be used. Medical marijuana typically contains higher levels of cannabidiol (CBD) and lower levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound that makes recreational users feel “high.”
The main difference between recreational and medical marijuana, then, lies in the levels of specific cannabinoids, as well as the medical conditions they are used to treat. Both recreational and medical marijuana can be bought from dispensaries, but recreational marijuana is only legal in certain states and countries. Medical marijuana, on the other hand, has been approved for medicinal use in many states and countries. Ultimately, recreational marijuana is intended for recreational use, while medical marijuana is intended to treat specific medical conditions. Both types of marijuana should only be used in accordance with local laws.
In order to purchase recreational or medical marijuana, you must typically possess a valid medical card or other form of proof that you are legally allowed to purchase it. As the legal landscape surrounding recreational and medical marijuana continues to evolve, it is important to stay up-to-date on local laws and regulations.
Recreational marijuana tends to have higher levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound in marijuana responsible for producing a “high” sensation. Medical marijuana, on the other hand, typically has lower levels of THC and higher levels of CBD (cannabidiol), a non-psychoactive compound that is believed to have health benefits.
The recreational use of marijuana can also be more expensive than medical marijuana due to taxation and other regulations surrounding recreational sales. In some states, recreational purchasers may not receive the same discounts as medical marijuana patients. In addition, recreational marijuana may only be available to those over 21 years of age, while some states permit medical marijuana use for those under 21.
It’s important to note the differences between recreational and medical marijuana in order to stay compliant with local laws and regulations. Know what you’re purchasing and understand the potential medical implications of recreational marijuana use. If you are considering using recreational marijuana, speak to your healthcare provider to learn more about potential risks and benefits. This can help ensure that recreational marijuana is used in a safe and responsible manner.
Ultimately, recreational and medical marijuana have different purposes and should be treated differently when considering use. It’s important to understand that recreational marijuana use may not have the same medical benefits as medical marijuana and should be used in accordance with local laws. Be sure to always consult a healthcare provider before using recreational marijuana. With the proper knowledge, recreational and medical marijuana can both provide enjoyable experiences when used responsibly.
The Impact of Celebrity Barber Features in Fashion Magazines
December 20, 2023
A man’s haircut and beard style are significant factors in creating his identity. Guys want to feel confident about their looks and search for the best barbers to develop their personal style statement. Actors, hip-hop legends, and sports stars also want to deal with barbers who are full-fledged influencers. These prominent barbers are often featured in fashion magazines.
Fashion magazines draw the attention of a community that attracts professional barbers and style-conscious men. They provide information on the latest events in the salon industry. At the same time, celebrity barbers can discuss their views on barbering. These professionals believe they are the crafters of new hair and beard styles. They have the power to transform and manipulate others’ looks.
Celebrity Barbers Transforming The Salon Industry:
Like other industries, the fashion world is highly dynamic. It is not just about the new designs and styles of outfits or makeup products. Certified and reputed barbers in fashion magazines discuss different topics, such as skin and hair trends, dramatic looks, and grooming techniques. Their information and advice can bring transformation to the barbering industry. Even if you are an experienced barber, you should keep your knowledge updated by reading fashion magazines regularly. You will learn how successful and well-known barbers have recreated the look and style of their barbers.
Although you may find edited photos of some male models in fashion magazines, the information in the journals is highly important for your profession. If you are searching for full-time barber jobs in Denver, you should read fashion magazines daily.
Hair stylists, beard grooming specialists, hair-dying experts, and even makeup artists are featured in fashion magazines. These reputed professionals are aware of the preferences and needs of young guys who always want to upgrade their styles. So, celebrity barbers and salon professionals have a significant influence on the fashion world.
Barbers In The Magazines Set New Standards:
Eminent barbers in fashion magazines have the potential to set some standards. So, salon professionals who need to serve their clients regularly should meet those standards. As they want to please their clients with the best quality services, it is essential to go through the magazines. In fact, fashion magazines allow emerging barbers to connect with grooming artists and high-profile barbers.
Salons that have not met the desired standards of their services may not expand their businesses. Thus, trends and the latest information provided by famous barbers can make a difference in their businesses.
Conclusion:
Fashion-conscious men like to read fashion magazines to learn about the latest trends. However, these journals and magazines are not just sources of information about grooming trends. In the salon industry, barbers must stay knowledgeable and continue their learning. So, they can read these magazines to keep their knowledge up-to-date. They will be able to improve their processes and provide the best experience. Fashion magazines allow them to learn how celebrity barbers apply different techniques to create new trends. Although you can communicate with these barbers through social media, magazines are best for updating your knowledge.
Linguistics Study Reveals Link Between Loudness Of A Language And Region Temperature
December 7, 2023
We’ve all heard those stereotypes portraying people who speak Latin languages, whether that be Spanish, French, or Italian, as sounding more “passionate” or even “loud”.
As it turns out, the stereotype may stem from some truth, as a new study published on Thursday (December 5) suggested that temperatures influence the way we talk.
Dr. Søren Wichmann, a linguist at Kiel University in Germany, together with colleagues from China, demonstrated in the study that was published in the online journal PNAS Nexus that average ambient temperatures influenced the loudness of certain speech sounds.
Languages in warmer regions are louder than those in colder regions, a linguistics study found

Image credits: Tianheng Wang, Søren Wichmann
Søren explained: “Generally speaking, languages in warmer regions are louder than those in colder regions.”
To summarize the study, we are surrounded by air when we speak and listen; therefore, spoken words are transmitted through the air as sound waves, as per Phys Org. As a result, the physical properties of air influence how easy it is to produce and hear speech.
Søren explained: “On the one hand, the dryness of cold air poses a challenge to the production of voiced sounds, which require vibration of the vocal cords. On the other hand, warm air tends to limit unvoiced sounds by absorbing their high-frequency energy.”

Image credits: Qian Gu
These factors could reportedly favor a higher volume of certain speech sounds in warmer climates, known as sonority in scientific terms.
The Danish linguist and his colleagues reportedly used the Automated Similarity Judgment Program (ASJP) database to test whether these factors really had an effect on the development of languages.

At the moment, the database is reported to contain the basic vocabulary of 5,293 languages and is constantly being expanded with the support of the ROOTS Cluster of Excellence, a German research institution in Kiel.
Subsequently, Søren and his team discovered that languages that occur around the Equator in particular have a high average sonority, whereas languages in Oceania and Africa have the highest corresponding index.
On the other hand, the world record for low sonority reportedly belongs to the Salish languages on the northwest coast of North America.

Nevertheless, some exceptions have been found in this trend. For instance, some languages in Central America and on the Southeast Asian mainland have a rather low mean sonority, even though they are spoken in very warm regions.
Søren stated: “Overall, however, we were able to establish a clear relationship between the mean sonority of language families and the mean annual temperature.”

As a result, the exceptions indicate that the effects of temperature on sonority develop only slowly and only shape the sounds of a language over centuries or even millennia.
Scientists are reportedly in the midst of discussing the extent to which the environment shapes languages.

The linguistics expert revealed: “For a long time, research assumed that linguistic structures are self-contained and are not influenced in any way by the social or natural environment. More recent studies, including ours, are beginning to question this.”
Søren further informed that “If languages adapt to their environment in a slow process lasting thousands of years, then they carry some clues about the environment of their predecessor languages.”

Woman Uses One Savage Line Whenever Men Want To Split The Bill On Dates
November 7, 2023
Is gallantry dead? A woman has made it her mission to ensure that she receives first-class princess treatment whenever she’s invited on a first date.
Pearl Botts, from Los Angeles, disclosed her clever approach when men suggest splitting the bill while out dining, a strategy that hasn’t garnered unanimous approval from everyone.
Maryanne Parker, an etiquette expert, has further shared with Bored Panda her take on the traditional unwritten rule that states that men should always foot the bill when they first encounter a woman for a romantic dinner.
Pearl Botts shared how she instantly friend-zones men who ask to split the bill on first dates

The singer has admitted to strongly embracing the concept of “feminine energy” and has tended to favor scenarios where men are at ease with their traditional role as providers.
Taking to her Instagram page followed by 10,000 people, Pearl revealed in a video that she has employed a specific phrase whenever a first date took an unfavorable turn, and this tactic has consistently proven effective for her.
According to Pearl, a woman paying for her own meal is “disrespectful and emasculating to the man”

You can take a look at her video below
@pearlbotts would u do this? #datingadvice #datingtips #datingmindset ♬ IT GIRL – Sped up Version – Aliyah’s Interlude
She explained: “When a man wants to go 50/50 with you on a date, say: ‘Oh my god, I’m so embarrassed right now.
“‘Wait, you wanted to just be friends? I’m so confused – this whole entire time I thought this was a date.
“‘I’m so sorry – here’s my card.’”
“It has nothing to do with my own capability to provide and protect for myself”

Image Credits: pearlbotts
Pearl, who frequently also uploads videos on her TikTok page followed by 11,800 thousand people, emphasized the importance of conveying to men that if she were to split the bill, she wouldn’t be satisfied with pursuing a relationship.
She prefers using her straightforward phrase to establish expectations during the initial date, where there’s little at risk.
“‘Wait, you wanted to just be friends?” Pearl would say on dates where men want to split the bill

When you let a man pay, she says, “you’re making space and giving room for him to step into his divine masculinity”
@pearlbotts Replying to @Kelly Lingus i find this disrespectful to the man #divinemasculnineenergy #feminineenergy #datingadvice #datingtips ♬ original sound – Pearl Botts
Several men and women supported the influencer’s approach, asserting that it’s prudent to establish your expectations right from the beginning.
A person commented: “The next move is that [Pearl] pays her half and never sees him again.
“She’s not looking for a 50/50 relationship and that’s fine. She’s sending a message loud and clear.”
A woman questioned: “I don’t understand why guys can’t pay for the whole bill?
“Why would you ask a woman on a date if you’re not going to pay? Who raised you?”
Others disagreed as a person wrote: “The person who invited out on a date should pay.”
A man commented: “Yeh no, if a girl ever pulled this on me I’d split the bill and never see her again.
“None of that toxic sh*t I want bringing into a relationship.”
The singer’s video sparked different reactions as some said her response was toxic

Image Credits: pearlbotts
Maryanne Parker, an etiquette expert who is the Vice President and Chief Protocol Officer of the California Branch of the Royal Society of St. George, told Bored Panda that according to traditional standards, the person who initiates the date should be prepared to pay the bill, including the tip.
“However, in many cultures when a man invites a woman on a date, he covers the entire bill,” Maryanna explained.
She continued: “It is up to the woman to present herself in a classy and elegant way without being greedy and needy, if she wants to be invited back.
“However, in some situations, the woman can definitely offer to pay half of the bill. And the man can refuse or agree to accept it.
“Either way, if the first date is over coffee, and the man initiated the date, let him pay.
“If the first date is over lobster, the woman can suggest to split the bill and it is up to the man to accept it or not.”
The etiquette coach revealed that she personally prefers a man who handles the initial responsibility and takes care of the bill, especially if he was the one who initiated the date.
Pearl’s method ignited divided replies

People Can’t Tell This Fitness Grandmother Apart From Her Granddaughter
October 7, 2023
Fitness enthusiasts Lesley Maxwell, her daughter, Vanessa Christofi, and her granddaughter, Tia Christofi, continue stunning thousands of social media users who believe the three women are sisters.
For the three generations of women, an ideal plan isn’t to go to the cinema, dine out, or catch up over coffee. Instead, the trio prefers to bond over weight-lifting.

Lesley, 65, defies stereotypes whenever she sets foot in the gym.
“People are always surprised to learn that we are actually three totally different generations of a family,” she told Caters News.
“They’re surprised to know I have grandchildren because I suppose it’s a bit out of character to think of a grandmother doing deadlifts and pull-ups at the gym.”

The glam bodybuilder, who also works as a personal trainer, recommends physical exercise to all women regardless of age. “It strengthens our bones and helps us tone our body by adding muscle. I’d love to see more women of all ages lifting weights.”
She also described weight-lifting as “an anti-aging way to train.”

Of course, her workout sessions wouldn’t be the same without Vanessa—who prefers not to reveal her age—and 22-year-old Tia.
“We always have a wonderful time together chatting, having a laugh, and training. I’m so blessed to have such a lovely family,” she said of their bond.
Besides doing the same weight-lifting exercises, the trio enjoys swapping brightly colored workout clothes. The granddaughter, an Instagram influencer and marketing expert, is in charge of picking the vibrant outfits.
“I suppose it’s a bit out of character to think of a grandmother doing deadlifts and pull-ups at the gym,” she said

“I’m lucky I get to share clothes with my daughter and granddaughter. When we do shoots together, most of the clothes come from Tia’s wardrobe. She loves doing the styling and color-coordinating us,” the Melbourne-born grandma said.
In addition to training four times a week, the 65-year-old keeps active thanks to her profession.
“I’m a trainer and in the gym most days. You could say I get some incidental exercise as I’m often carrying the weights or ‘spotting’ my clients,’” she explained. “’I also do some exercise demonstrations, so I guess that also helps.”
“We always have a wonderful time together chatting, having a laugh, and training. I’m so blessed to have such a lovely family”

Lesley’s Instagram followers love to see pictures of the three generations working out together and often compliment her on her figure and commitment to leading a healthy lifestyle.
“Gorgeous. Very inspiring to your beautiful granddaughter,” one of them wrote.
“Unbelievable. You look like sisters,” another commented under a photo that shows her and Tia lifting weights.

Tia’s social media followers were also surprised by the fitness videos starring her grandma, whom many have mistaken for her mother.
“They’re taken back when I correct them and tell them she is my grandmother. I film my grandmother and I working out, and people love to see it,” she said.
“She’s 43 years my senior and we both lift weights and follow the same workout routine while dressed in similar apparel. It was a video that went viral.”
It remains to be seen whether the fitness craze will continue with the next Christofi generation. Today, the trio’s content reminds everyone that there’s no such thing as an age limit to take care of one’s health.

40 Times People Found Hidden Treasures Left By Previous Owners Inside Their Homes
September 7, 2023
Many old houses have their charm. It’s truly amazing to start a new chapter of your life in a place that was constructed long ago and carries a rich history. Just imagine, countless people might have lived there, rising each morning, preparing meals, fostering bonds with their loved ones, and having numerous conversations.
When you move into a home with such a storied past, it becomes intriguing to immerse yourself in the house’s atmosphere, honor its history, and perhaps even stumble upon hidden clues left behind by previous owners.
We’ve assembled a collection of pics with moments when people experienced exactly that. From discovering coins hidden in a wall to uncovering a hidden jacuzzi beneath the ground, these homeowners came across some truly cool surprises upon moving into their new homes.
#1 My Grandparents Have A Glassed-Over Well In Their Kitchen
They bought the house 10 years ago, they stripped it down and they found it then. They thought it was quite unique and wanted it as a feature, it’s about 25 foot deep and connects to a small old river that ran under a long time ago. Fortunately I have yet to see anything down there!

There are many things that we can find in the walls of old houses, like a scorched red corset, a 9th-century clay pipe or a mastodon. When you start digging, whether it’s for a construction project in a long-inhabited area or renovating a house, surprises await. You might find something like a ritual object meant to ward off spirits, whether it’s from 300 years ago or just a few decades back. It could have been placed there intentionally or left by accident. Unless it’s a time capsule with a note, its true purpose may remain unknown.

#3 Finally, A Good, Safe, Story

Every building holds its own history within its walls, ceilings, floors, and foundations. The very materials, like wood, plaster, and stone, can hide secrets or even special items left for future generations to uncover—a connection between the past and the future.

American houses dating back to the Revolutionary War era had secret rooms designed for hiding food, contraband, and militia members from the redcoats. These rooms could have served as safe havens for women and children.

#9 Pulled Up The Carpet At The House, And Guess What I Found!

Here are some reasons why old houses have secret rooms:
⦁In the early 1800s, many houses were equipped with secret rooms used to shelter runaway slaves.
⦁During the Prohibition era, secret rooms were essential for concealing and producing illicit alcohol.
⦁Reflecting on Anne Frank’s experience, it’s likely that secret rooms were used in Europe during World War II to shelter fugitive Jews.

The magic of secret rooms lies in their mystique and intrigue, captivating people’s imaginations. In today’s world, concerns about societal breakdown and a general distrust of the government could drive someone to desire such hidden spaces.

While it’s easy to see some great things about old houses, like their timeless character, there are plenty of additional reasons why old houses are better than new ones.
Old houses have a welcoming charm and unique architectural features like crown moldings, stained-glass windows, arched doorways, and antique chandeliers that you rarely find in new builds. In contrast, newer neighborhoods often have houses that look very similar, creating a “cookie-cutter” look without the individuality and character of older homes.

The saying “they don’t make them like they used to” is popular because it’s true. Why? Let us give you a few examples.
Older homes were built with strong materials like stone, brick, and solid wood. For instance, the wood in old houses was from high-quality trees that are more durable and rot-resistant than today’s wood.

#21 Found Some Nice Drawings Under The Wallpaper I’m Removing

Another example is the use of plaster in old homes for walls, which is better than today’s drywall in terms of insulation, soundproofing, fire resistance, and mold resistance.
Today, the common practice is to use cheaper manufactured materials like particle board and drywall to save money.

#24 My House Used To Be A Bank, So We Use The Old Safe/Vault As A Basement

Additionally, old houses were constructed with a different mindset. They were meant to be repaired, not torn down and replaced. New homes often don’t prioritize the durability of materials. For example, most replacement windows today are made from vinyl, which typically lasts only 20-25 years. On the other hand, well-maintained wood windows in old houses can last over 100 years.

50 Of The Most Hilarious Parenting Tweets This Month
August 7, 2023
If you’re a parent who feels guilty about not waking up at the crack of dawn every day to prepare pancakes, bacon and eggs for your little ones, first of all, don’t. And second of all, you’re not alone! We’re back with a new edition of the most hilarious parenting tweets of the month down below. So enjoy scrolling through while you hide in the bathroom from your toddler, and keep reading to find a conversation with CJ Kelsey, aka That Mom Tho!

No one has ever said being a parent is easy. Essentially all of your free time (and disposable income) is now dedicated to taking care of your little ones, and there’s no compensation or appreciation involved. Being a mom or dad never stops being challenging, no matter how much people want to tell you “it gets better after the terrible twos!” It’s messy and exciting and exhausting and rewarding. It’s all worth it to have a mini-me who loves you more than anything in the world and who you get to watch grow into an amazing person that you’re proud of.
But one essential trait parents need to ensure they can get through the day without ripping out their hair or dying from embarrassment is a great sense of humor. You can’t sweat the small stuff, and you have to be able to admit that you’re never going to be perfect. (Anyone who says they are is lying!) And it’s much better to laugh through the pain and exhaustion than to try to keep it all together. A great parent is just someone who’s doing their best.

To learn more about what it’s like to be a fabulous parent who’s open online about the joys and struggles of having kids, we reached out to CJ Kelsey, also known as That Mom Tho on Twitter and Instagram. CJ is a mom of two who works in the healthcare industry and has been able to grow a following online through sharing her hilarious experiences. She was also kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda about the importance of being able to laugh as a parent.
“A sense of humor definitely helps because parenting can be hilarious!” CJ shared. “Children are naturally honest and curious– these two traits combined lead to a great deal of funny situations.”

We were also curious about how CJ got started sharing hilarious parenting stories and experiences online. “I started my Twitter account as a place to make jokes anonymously and never expected it to lead to anything,” the mom shared. Today, however, she has over 47k followers on Twitter, nearly 18k on Instagram, and 13k followers on Facebook!
And as far as what she loves most about her online presence, CJ says, “My favorite response to anything I write is when someone tells me they thought they were alone in their experience and happy to read I am going through the same thing.”

CJ also shared some wise words for all the parents out there who might be worried about trying to be perfect. “I wanted to be the perfect parent when expecting my first and quickly discovered there’s no such thing,” she told Bored Panda. “My advice is to be kinder to yourself. Understand that it is a constant learning experience and that children mostly just want to know they are loved.”

“Being a mom has changed my perspective on life and the world for the better,” CJ shared. “My curiosity for the future lies in how I will parent a daughter who appears to be developing the same attitude I had. I would gladly accept a handbook for the teenage years!”

We all know there’s no such thing as a perfect anything, let alone a perfect parent. But that doesn’t stop countless mommy bloggers and family vloggers from trying to portray their lives as effortless and flawless. 6 out of 10 parents say they feel pressure from social media to be perfect moms and dads, and 40% of moms admit they compare themselves to the curated lives of parents they see online.
We teach our children how harmful social media is and that comparison is the thief of joy, but why is it so hard to practice what we preach? Part of the reason we love sharing these “parenting tweets of the month” articles (aside from the fact that they’re hilarious) is because we want to remind you panda parents that you’re not alone! Doing your best is enough.

When it comes to some of the “mistakes” every parent makes, Steven John at Insider says there are 30 extremely common ones that no mom or dad will be able to avoid. (And that’s okay!) These include letting our kids fall or get hurt, packing our children’s schedules too full, giving our little ones too many choices to make, forgetting important items when going to school or soccer practice, praising them too much, and trying to talk above them. “Kids catch onto more than you think, despite the diction enabled by your sagacity, and can end up hearing things little ears shouldn’t,” John writes.

No matter how many “mistakes” we make with our little ones, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up. As long as they know that they’re safe, loved, taken care of and able to express themselves, you’re doing an amazing job. And if you need to vent or share some hilarious stories online, feel free to hop onto Twitter. You’ll quickly realize that you’re not alone, and you’re a great parent. Plus, we’d love to have a laugh at your experiences and feature them in next month’s edition of this list!

If you’re an exhausted parent who can’t wait for your children to be back in school full time in a few weeks, you don’t need to feel bad about that. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and you’ll finally be able to keep your kitchen clean for more than three hours when your kids aren’t eating three meals a day plus snacks in there. Keep upvoting the tweets that hit home for you or make you chuckle, and let us know in the comments if you’ve recently had any hilarious parenting experiences. Then, if you’re interested in checking out Bored Panda’s last parenting tweets of the month post, you can find it right here!

The Fear Of Submerged Man-Made Objects: 93 New Pics That Might Make You Want To Stay On The Shore
August 2, 2023
Submechanophobia is the fear of man-made objects submerged partially or fully underwater.
For those with the condition, snorkeling expeditions and trips to the local pool can become dreadful even after noticing as little as a ball beneath the surface.
And while this example can sound a little silly to the rest of us, let’s check out a few from the subreddit ‘Submechanophobia’ that are much more, let’s say, reasonable.
This place is full of sunken ships, flooded mine shafts, and other spooky things that give you the creeps or at the very least look like they have an interesting story behind them.
