Made grill cheese on the radiator because “that’s how we did it in the ghetto growing up”.

Math teacher regularly brought greens and other fragrant items for lunch, but she would put it on the radiator to slow warm for the entire morning. There was no escaping the… aromas. Nor will we ever forget her trimming her toenails at her desk, then using a clipping to pick her teeth.

Scotland
William Wallace was a knight. An armour wearing, horse riding, sword wielding knight. He wasn't some woad wearing mud grubber who lived in a hut, he was a nobleman.
Almost nothing in Braveheart represents the historical figure accurately.

New Zealand And Scotland
I'll do a little combo of my two homes for mine: The original (Gaelic) name of Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, was Dùn Èidean.
When the Scottish colonists landed in New Zealand's South Island, they named their settlement Dunedin, which is the Anglicised equivalent.
If you look at the maps of the two cities, you'll find it didn't end there: They share a large number of road names, hill names etc and in some cases they are even in the "right order" as you watch the road names pass you by.

Sweden
You know how people always tell others on reddit that Japan isn’t a magical utopia. The same needs to be said about Sweden.
Unemployment is a nightmare, way worse than most western countries, it’s cold, dark and lonely. Lots of immigrants and expats struggle building new lives despite trying to fit in etc.
If you still insist it’s the best place on earth, then at least consider Norway, since it’s a better version across the board.

I Legit Never Know If Someone Is Just Being Dismissive Using The First Statement Or If They Actually Mean The Second Statement

Once in uni, my roommate needed to leave our room to fill her water bottle and come back, and she couldn’t find her id to do so so she had to borrow mine. my friend left with her and about 10 minutes later she came back in, thanked me, and gave me my id back which i promptly tucked under my leg (i could feel it there as i was sitting on it). 2 minutes later she comes into our room, hands me my id and thanks me for using it. i could feel my id under my leg as she was doing so. then when i reached for it, it wasn’t there. i’m convinced i switched realities or something.

As kids my friends would play in the yard looking for a made-up ghost. One day, a Polaroid was taken of us after a search. In the developed photo, between us was a faded but legit clown. Full makeup and costume. Not a blemish that kinda looked like a clown. We told our parents and they dismissed it but when they looked, they were shocked. You can tell they were trying to find a reasonable explanation but they were kinda freaked out.
