‘Cringe Pics’: 40 Incredibly Embarrassing Pics That Hurt To Look At (New Pics)
Warning: secondhand embarrassment can cause intense emotional pain, facepalming, and gossiping with your friends about the intensely cringe things you saw.
The beauty of being a human being is that we tend to have far more in common with each other than we think. One of the best examples is that we’ve all done some extremely awkward, embarrassing things that we wish we could take back… or forget entirely! Perhaps it was a social media post we made years and years ago that physically hurts to look at. Or, maybe, you spilled your lunch all over yourself at school or work just last week!
A good antidote for dealing with your own embarrassment (aside from doing the mature thing and, y’know, working through your emotions) is to gently poke fun at someone who’s messed up even worse. That’s where the popular r/cringepics online community comes in. The subreddit is home to some of the most cringeworthy pics to ever be shared online. Check out the worst offenders below. But be careful your cringe-sensors might go haywire!
For some more cringeworthy pics, take a peek at Bored Panda's earlier feature right here.

“Lady” Mone is notable for stealing tens of millions of pounds from the British taxpayer (aided and abetted by the present incumbents the Tory party) using phoney PPE contracts at the beginning of Covid. She is currently being investigated ( although not terribly thoroughly) and she and her husband are in the process of liquidating “their“ assets in preparation to leave the country. What a lovely person she is….

Guys….can we maybe just THINK this s**t instead of typing it out and sending? What do you expect, for her to go, “OMG, I was originally looking for a job before you tainted my feed with that comment but now all I want to do is drop my panties what’s your number love?” Seriously, WHAT response is expected? Honestly curious if anyone knows.

Reasonable request if they were looking to adopt and it wasn't specified. Especially if someone was going to try and adopt the pup with additional needs. We tried to adopt 2 blind dogs. After filling out literally 30 pages of paperwork, interviews, and everything. We gave up after 6 months. They contacted us back at 8 months telling us we passed and could adopt them. Already had adopted one of our pups by then

Delivered Lunch To A Guy At His Workplace Today Who Had Trouble Taking A Hint
Izzy Curer 3 years ago (edited)
I've had this happen to me. I was giving away some stuff on Craigslist. A guy came and got it, but he still had my number, so he texted me a few times afterwards. It was pretty normal at first, just saying thanks, and sending me a pic of what he'd done with the stuff. Then he was like, "Hey, you seem nice, are you single?" I said, no, I'm married, and he was like, "Oh, ha ha, me too..."

Teacher here--this tells me they are doing vocabulary in a very ineffective way. They assigned a vocab word without thinking about its context? Why do the kids NEED to learn the word 'torture'? Is it relevant to something they're reading or discussing? If so, that would provide the appropriate context. If not, teach them a relevant word instead! /Soapbox
