Most of the top results on this thread are actually people who I'm sure are quite happy they lost - and I'm loving that. Your kid didn't get into drugs? A struggling students makes it through grade 9 or your friend in rehab proves to themselves they can stay sober? What is money or pink hair compared to these successes?
Pretty inspirational!
I think these people are all awesome for holding up their side of the bet!

I think they're all idiots for having made bets like that... and probably jerks too, because no doubt they were hoping to do something equally humiliating to their own "friends".
You must be fun at parties
JFC... they were friendly, fun bets. Everybody had to agree to the terms. Get over yourself.

He's a dick. He sued the NHS because he lost a contract.

@The Cappy These were friendly bets. If they were that unhappy with them they wouldn't have accepted the challenge. Enjoy your 35th dislike!
I had a quarrel with my husband about a traffic rule. We bet for 1€ about this rule. So I went to my neighbour who is a cop to ask him who of us was right about the traffic rule. He asked me for how much did I bet? I said: for 1€. He answered: give me 1€ and I will not tell him you lost the bet. My neighbour is a corrupt cop!!
A good number of these bets were made as incentive. I'm pretty sure that the parents who, "bet" their child that he couldn't stay away from smoking, alcohol, and drugs until he was 21 are thrilled to have lost the bet. I'm guessing the person who posted this article missed the "Stop Clickbait" article :)
So, apparently having men wear women's clothing is the worst bet you can make?
Ugh my brother lost so many bets against us. I wish we made him to do something embarrassing each time he lost!
lol

This is not funny. Most of these are saying that the ultimate humiliation (for a man) is to be perceived as a woman. This is insulting and just reinforces the misogyny in our patriarchal society. Can we stop contributing to this? Do better, Bored Panda.
I value your opinion, and there are still things wrong with equalty between man and women, but in this particular case, I disagree with you. The purpose is - to my opinion - making someone look weird. And the easiest / laziest way to do that is either to strip, or to borrow a girly pink dress.
