In life, we all get our chance to shine, like nailing an important presentation at work or leading the football team to victory. Such highs make us want to share our joy with everyone. On the other hand, we also have those embarrassing moments—searching for our keys while holding them or misplacing our groceries.
On such occasions, our common sense takes a backseat, and our brain refuses to function—a brain fart, if you will. But don’t worry, you are not alone. Sometimes, people are hilariously clueless and naive and thankfully, someone captured it on camera.
To help you momentarily forget your goof-ups and lift your spirits, Bored Panda has collected a list of silly things that people have said and done.

Blaming Young People For Being Triggered
Same sidewalk, cemetery, church, school, neighborhoods, department stores, restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, colleges etc.etc.etc. Even though those institutions are supported by Black taxes, so yeah...Black people have always subsidized white people by white people giving themselves the majority of the handouts. White people benefit from Black taxes
Lesson Learned
Never Get A Tattoo If You Can't Understand What It Says
Have you ever been in a situation where you randomly blank out or end up doing something silly, and wonder, "What was I thinking?" Welcome to the world of brain farts – those awkward moments when our mind stops functioning, leaving us confused and sometimes embarrassed.
Our brains are incredibly complex organs, capable of processing vast amounts of information efficiently. But they experience hiccups from time to time, or 'cognitive dysfunction'.

A brain fart, which can be linked to cognitive dysfunction, perfectly describes those instances when our mental processes seem to malfunction. Thankfully, many of these glitches are quite common and easy to manage.
We can hit a roadblock when our stress levels skyrocket or we are exhausted. This causes our attention to waver and our memory to play hide-and-seek. Picture this: you're working late in the night, trying to finish a last-minute project, and you keep reading the same paragraph over and over again, unable to understand a word of it.
It is hard to concentrate when our brains are pushed to the limit. In order to recharge our batteries, we should indulge in relaxing activities or hit the gym. This will not only soothe our soul but also help kick stress to the curb.

What Is This New Email You Speak Of?
In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, staying focused can be difficult. One moment of distraction, and bam! our train of thought derails, leaving us wondering where it all went wrong. That's the magic (or rather, the mischief) of a brain fart, it sneaks up on us when we least expect it, turning our well-laid plans into hilarious moments.
Participating in meditation events or learning new breathing techniques helps to sharpen our attention and focus on the present moment. In fact, organizational tools such as calendars or to-do lists are a great way to keep your appointments and tasks in check. A structured approach helps prevent those "oops" moments.

While multitasking is impressive, sometimes it's a recipe for disaster. When we attempt to do too many tasks at once, our brains get overwhelmed, like a computer that has too many tabs open. And just like that, we start to lag because of the overload.
To avoid going from lightning-fast to snail's pace, one should focus on one task at a time. When we keep switching between different things, our brains need time to refocus and this prevents us from fully immersing ourselves in the task at hand. It’s harder to achieve meaningful progress while multitasking. So, remember to take a deep breath, and tackle things like the productivity pro you are.
She Doesn't Know What's Coming
A Person Who Hacked My Credit Card Emailed Me, Asking Why I Canceled His Flight
My credit card was hacked. I think the guy did it by hacking my Gmail account because he signed up for Priceline using the Gmail login button.
I called my bank and canceled it. I logged into Priceline to see if I could get any information about the person who booked the flight. I saw I could cancel it for no charge. So I did it because it was going to be faster to get a refund from Priceline than my bank.
Two days later I got this email. It had his photo and phone number. It matched the name on the flight too.
Excuse Me?
Don’t forget, sleep is your brain's secret weapon that keeps your cognitive powers in top shape. Not getting enough rest can impair memory, attention, and your decision-making abilities. Imagine: You are staring blankly at the fridge, wondering what exactly you are looking for. It's like your brain hit the snooze button along with your alarm clock.
That's why it's important to prioritize quality sleep. Aim for a solid 7-9 hours of uninterrupted shut-eye every night, and it will help you efficiently tackle whatever challenges the day throws your way.
Gatekeeping Gen-Xers From Their Own Music

Of All The Things That Didn’t Happen, This Did Not Happen The Most
Are they being hosptalised in 1550? Are there any leechs, lancets and succion cups? Are the doctors wearing cute birdie masks?
I honestly would like to be treated by a doctor dressed like that, being that badass would make me forget my pain XD
Load More Replies...Well, duh. That's one way vaccines kill you. When the blood is too thick the oxygen can't get in because the blood can't flow into your lungs, so you die of suffocation within a few years of getting the jab. Don't you even have a facebook account?
Load More Replies...THAT...or the phlebotomist was amazing at keeping a straight face with these nut jobs.
You need a vampire, but find a friendly one, otherwise they may suck too much.
Load More Replies...I'm telling you, IT WAS HUGE!!! The best blood they had ever seen!! Beautiful, just BEAUTIFUL!! And the suction, well, let me tell you, best suction ever !!!!! Everyone just looked in awe the suction was the best!! The best I tell you......
Would your last name originally have been Trump?
Load More Replies...Any RN who said such a thing should be immediately fired. My son, who is an RN, has been vaccinated against everything and regularly donates blood (without having his vein suctioned).
I'd give her a biology lesson of why these people with thick blood would be dead but I'd probably be given the "propaganda" speech.
I STILL don't understand how DOCTORS AND NURSES can be anti-vaxxers
Short answer: we're not. We've been vaxxed with higher doses than the general population when they first we're available. We're still here. We've vaxxed our spouses, children, parents and grandparents, too.
Load More Replies...Did the RN also comment on your spouse's ability to talk out of his a**e? Because that's what he's doing.
My god this is so embarrassing. Who believes this rubbish? 2k likes! People are demented
I can't donate whole blood because it clogs up in the line going to the bag (I do donate red blood cells, plasma, etc with the machine), but oddly enough, it's always been like that, and not just since I got vaccinated.
My sister's blood has some issue where it reacts to the plastic tubes. It has to be placed in *glass* tubes.
Load More Replies...If someone had blood that was "thick like sludge"? I'm pretty dayum sure that they wouldn't be alive... And what the heck was she "suctioning the vein" with? Did she have to get them to lie on the floor with their arm outstretched while she used a toilet plunger to draw the blood out with???
The only thing I hear from RN's is how beautiful my blood vessels look - it's indeed easy to find them and getting blood out of them isn't hard either. (At least there's SOMETHING beautiful about me, yay....)
All of you is beautiful!! <3 Your fellow Pandas love you :)
Load More Replies...Vaccines are deadly. Within 100 years from being vaxed 100% of those who got the jab die
Also, nurses generally don’t do blood draws regularly either. That’s the phlebotomist’s job.
Written by an anti-vaxxer trying to sound really, really smart, and failing once again . . .?
That is not an RN I ever want to get treated by, or have anything done to me by her! That is scary and I am surprised she has never been fired!
Huh? If you're using a VacuTainer, it comes out just fine, even if it is "sludge."
Herr they will not let you donate blood if you had the Fauci ouchie. It causes blood blood clots in the recipient.
LOL, due to underlying health issues, I get vaxxed every time a new one comes out. COVID would be deadly for me. I also wear a pressure bandage over the site for several hours, due to bleeding. Never mind blood draws...those get pressure bandages for a full 24 hours.
Was he told, with tears in the lab tech's eyes, "thank you Sir, for upholding the American dream and refusing to participate in this fraudulent attempt to turn us all in to magnetic dummies who will mindlessly follow a despotic leader"? Yeah, that didn't happen either.
I can't even with this list I'm losing braincells reading this sometimes I hate humanity.
Just for fun, let's pretend you might need to use suction to draw thick blood. Just how do you "suction the vein" to get the IV *in*?
Tell me you’re making up a web of ignorant lies just by writing something….
They liked the blood so much that they ripped out the iv and vampire’d her
If you're going to create a BS post, at least "do your research" about how things work.
Good thing your head has the suction to pull sludge through the blood/air barrier.
With a bit of mindfulness, a good night's sleep, and some stress-busting techniques up our sleeves, we can turn those dumb moments into tiny blips on the radar of our brilliant minds. Meanwhile, it never hurts to enjoy those occasional silly situations where we goof up. Have you ever experienced a brain fart? Tell us about your funniest struggles in the comments below.

Most of these must have come from R/MildlyInfuriating cuz these sure raised my blood pressure significantly.
I think I follow politics to closely so I just laughed. This is run of the mill stupid compared to Republicans, Tories our conservatives in Australia.
Load More Replies...I once taught a 16/17 year old girl who said it was impossible to have anything above 100% and this girl had a C in GCSE. Another time, and this was the WHOLE room of adults I mentioned the experiment where two object were dropped on the moon (feather and hammer) that proved in a vaccum things fall at the same rate - I got called a moron... By EVERYONE.
I asked the person at the counter at Baskin Robbins for a quart of a certain flavor of ice cream. She said they had no more one-quart containers. I said, ok just give me two pints for the same price. She froze, stammered, acted like I was trying to trick her, then refused. Another excellent product of our public schools.
I understand this, though. You have to ring things into the cash register, mostly using bar codes. If you don't physically have a one quart there to take the code from them you cannot make the cash register give the one quart price, it won't do it. Also, 2 smaller things are more expensive than one big one due to packaging and transport costs (round containers make you transport a lot of air in your truck) and the costs of handling and storing the items in store, so they are not the same price at all and not interchangeable. Cashier likely working out if this is possible with her register and without getting fired, and that jammed up her brain in being able to respond.
