Not for these businesses though! Compiled into a list by Bored Panda, we have come up with some of the best examples of business owners having a little bit of fun and being remembered not for robotic efficiency of customer service, but for having an awesome sense of humor.

I'm on the fence with this one. One of my teachers always said "If you really understand something, you can explain it in a way that anyone can understand it". So whenever I have to explain technical stuff to people, I use laymans terms unless I know they understand the technical terms.

Dear BP. Stop shortening lists to less than 50. Its obnoxious and unnecessary. I like the long lists. Its more entertaining. Also, please stop with the random facts in between submissions. The "did you know in 1902, blah blah blah, someone something or another did a study on blah blah blah.....". Its distracting and uninteresting. I didn't come here to be educated on random s**t. I can Google my own stuff. I came here to be entertained. Not educated. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
