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.

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
When my wife was giving birth, someone in another room was also giving birth but had refused all pain relief. The screams......
It's not standard everywhere to get pain meds during labour. I've had two children without any and in my country you don't "refuse" pain meds, you specifically have to ask for them.
Load More Replies...If this person is Christian, her own holy book says literally the opposite of that. It's right near the beginning and very clear that as far as God is concerned, the pain of childbirth is a feature, not a bug.
Take pain relief or don't. Scream or be quiet. You're pushing a pineapple through a straw, do whatever you like.
My favorite description is pushing a piano through a transom.
Load More Replies...This is almost worse than believing the pain of childbirth is punishment for Eve's original sin. I hope someone gives this woman an epidural and a science lesson and puts her kid in a good school.
If it was punishment for Eve's original sin, why are alle the other mammals hurting too when giving birth?
Load More Replies...Yeah right. Just like women can't get pregnant from a rape because "the body has ways to shut that all down if it's a legitimate rape". Paraphrasing, but actually said by some right wingnut.
First time? She's gonna be in for a shock. Trust me babe, you want the epidural. It really DOES feel like you're pushing out a watermelon otherwise...
I just had to check her insta and it was actually her second birth, she said her first was "uncomfortable, intense and exhausting but pain is not the word she uses to describe the experience", most of her posts are super religious
Load More Replies...What are the odds on her not getting her kids vaccinated for similar reasons?
I didn’t have time to get an epidural with my second. Let me tell ya, felt like someone was ripping me down there then poured gasoline on it and set it on fire, after an hour of contractions, in which it felt like someone was stabbing me and just ripping and stretching my stomach muscles out. Yea, good luck with that pain blocking sweetie. I’m due with my third in June and TERRIFIED to go through that again. Lol
If so.. Then why is there a theory floating around on the evolutionary scale that womens pelvic bones are becoming more narrow and natural birth is at some point; far on the horizon, not going to be a safe or viable option?
We're getting close! I've known two women who fractured their tailbone during delivery.
Load More Replies...I think she means an epidural was designed to block pain receptors during labor ! 😂 i had an epidural with my son and of course it stops the pain but you can still feel the pressure (and the ripping ). The part I remember most tho was how as soon as he came out, the pressure was off my bladder for the 1st time in around 7 months. It felt so good to not feel like I had to pee, I screamed “ Yes! Let’s do it again “ 😂 I’m actually never doing it again tho !
Wait a second...I am not sure, but wasn't something in a bible about the fact that painful birth was a kind of in plan?
Yep. "God" makes women suffer in childbirth because of The Original Sin™️. He also said that a woman's husband "shall rule over" her. So, God says women have to suffer and potentially die in childbirth, and they have to be slaves/thralls to their husbands. If you believe in the Bible, Eve got TRICKED/deceived into eating the apple, yet God punished her as if she were a murderer. Even though Adam ate the apple too, HE didn't get punished except to be thrown out of Eden. Christianity is so freaking stupid.
Load More Replies...in genesis, after adam and eve ate the fruit, god cursed eve and all women with painful labor for tempting adam. where did this lady learn this? sure it was not the bible!
Didn't God make childbirth painful as punishment for Eve eating from the Tree of Knowledge?
Of course, if you feel pain, it is because you are not believing hard enough... It reminds me of a method for pain-free childbirth that was promoted by the Communist Party in France in the '50 (it came of course from the Soviet Union). Women belonging to the Party didn't dare say that they felt pain, because they would have been labeled as bad Party members...
I'm pretty sure pain in childbirth was eve's punishment for partaking of the forbidden fruit. So, literally, God's plan was for women to suffer during childbirth.
Okay, this is stupid but even more sad that young people can be this uninformed. The school system has failed.
Oh boy.....is she in for it! I remember when I had my son, this was back in 1993, nurse asked if I was getting an epidurhal, I was just ike yes! She was like good. She said you have no idea how many woman come in her and say no to it, then experiece the actual labor pains, and they are too far gone to get the epidurhal now. She said she tries to them that these early labor pains are nothing like it once you get into hard labro, but they never listened!
Oh, you poor deluded idiot. God's "brilliant" plan, according to the Bible, is that women shall bring forth children in pain & suffering, because Eve ate an apple.
Hmm... I gave birth 3 times. First was with pain relief in the form of laughing gas. Looooved it. Lol. But I didn't feel when my baby came out. Only realized she was out when the midwives talked about how pretty my baby was. Second was without any pain relief but my breathing and swaying and yeah, it was painful, but as long as I breathed to the "rhythm" of the labor pain I felt no desire to scream. If I got out of the rhythm I automatically screamed and then did no breathing so.... more painful. This birth was the best one I did, imo. The 3rd was an acute c-section and I do not recommend that at all. It was horrible and awful and the healing was not faster. But I do understand the anxiety of having to "pop out" a human being. It IS sooooo scary. But trust that your body and the baby know their stuff and just go along with it. It's the best option if you aim for a vaginal birth, imo.
First baby they couldn't give me an epidural because I missed the window and second baby I had a fever, so two babies with no pain meds. The pain was beyond screaming, also no energy for screaming. Giving birth takes so much energy.
Well at least you won't be panicking until the time comes and there's pain.
Doesn’t sound like a brilliant design though? If someone asked me I‘d have made that process painless to begin with
Oh yeah, my body was total ready to push my 10lb 10 child out that tiny body part. Was delightful
POV. You are faced with fact. But then you remember, that to you, faith means whatever you already believe is the one true answer.
Has she never picked up a book? Asked her mom? Other women? Watched any movie or tv show where every woman screams bloody murder? She is in for a most unpleasant surprise.
Considering painful childbirth was our CURSE from God because Eve had to take an apple from a talking snake & we're paying for it....
Spoken like a person who either has never had children or who had an epidural AND demerol.
My sister claimed that maternity wards were placed on the first floor, because women want to jump out the window to end the pain.
I do know there was pain, it was not blocked. Finally asked for and received pain medication, baby was born 10 minutes later. The only reason I remember all of this is because I remember thinking I could have held on another 10 minutes. Then 2 years later I did it all again, I did not delay asking for meds.
I had an emergency c-section, and when I woke up all I could hear was women being murdered out in the hallway. I asked the nurse what was happening and she said, "Oh, just women birthing babies." I thought there was an ax murderer in the hospital. Admittedly, still on left over d***s from the procedure. And then, a few hours later, a nurse came in and told me that when she came back that I was going to stand up. I thought she had me mixed up with someone who hadn't just had MAJOR SURGERY!! That sadist returned and she wasn't kidding. That hospital was a house of horrors.
If She is a Christian, then she should known that the first book of the Bible, Genesis, says women were given the burden of painful child birth as punishment for not following god's rule about eating the forbidden fruit. Genesis 3:16 'To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children.'
My wife used Etonox (gas & air) for the last child. Nurse took it off her 'just for a minute so you can push'. Expletives followed & she had to give it back - the nurse was my sister.
When you are just getting to the hospital, insist to the nurses you want an epidural!
Had 3 births. Had pain meds for 2/3. #2 came too fast for meds of any kind, and she was born in a labor room. I yelled quite a bit all 3 times!
Used to work in a hospital, my office backed onto the maternity ward, in summer I had a choice, leave the windows shut and bake in 35° heat or open them and listen to the screaming.
It us different for everyone. I have had 6 kids and I still don't know what labour feels like
I gave birth to my first on pain relief, I vomited most the way through and yelled like crazy. Swore I'd never do that again. Had 3 more after, all without pain relief and it was so much easier, quicker and I actually remember since I wasn't out of my head!
I followed Aubry for 2 years, I was a big supporter, a few months ago I sent her a dm with a link to something I'd seen on BP that I thought she could use... Her response? She blocked me. I even sent her $5 on patreon, which I couldn't afford as I live on disability benefits, as I thought she'd blocked me by accident, nope, nothing but a generic, preset "thank you". She'd always made a big noise about women supporting women, but I came to the conclusion she just supports dollars...
bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...... sorry, this is just the funniest/stupidest thing on here.
When someone says "God's brilliant design" I just expect something ridiculous
Oh this chick is delusional if she thinks there is no pain during labor and delivery unless she gets an epidural after getting to the hospital.
We're all very lucky that your body has a way of shutting down that whole pregnancy thing when you're really, really stupid. Wait, it doesn't? Well, I guess the world will be getting another stupid person soon.
Four children, no pain meds during labour, I didnt scream just pushed, my last took me 4 minutes to birth. The pain is indescribable even for an experienced mum, this young lady is going to get quite an education
I'd like to think I'm pretty good with handling pain, but not until I gave birth to my son! The pain was so so excruciating, and I'm forever grateful for epidural!!! Kudos to women/moms who went all in without any meds!!!!!!
If the human body is “God's brilliant design,” God is a fücking moron.
I got to the hospital (in the U.S.), ready to push, so no time for any painkillers. I have exceedingly bad menstrual cramps, so labor, and pushing did not hurt as much as monthly pain. My (now ex) husband (from abroad) thought it was _wrong_ that I did not scream and flail. He later bragged to people about how much I screamed, I guess that lie soothed his bruised ego?
Yeah that's not going to happen. You will feel every minute of pain.
Americans: Epidurals are not the only method of painkilling. If you have the option, try and find somewhere that does gas & air (nitrous oxide). It's used around the world, is very safe, and has the bonus that you inhale it through a mask, and are in control how much to take and when. You're still able to get up and move around, and if you decide to stop, you stop feeling the effects in five minutes or less. And if you decide to stop because there is not enough pain relief you can level up to an epidural.
Childbirth in humans is sure and certain proof we were in no way "designed". You don't design something to become nonfunctional for an extended period and nearly cease to exist just doing what it's designed for
Umm - birth wasn't painful but after sure sucked. Scheduled C-section, breech birth, never went into labor. Apparently, I won the lottery.
If she wants to go unmedicated, that's totally fine, but I hope she has a labor partner (spouse, friend, doula, etc) that is prepared to help with pain management. She's in for a rude awakening if she doesn't find out about the pain beforehand
Giving birth without pain relief is very common in my country. It's only given afther birth to ease the post labor pain/soreness
Hahahaha. She's in for a surprise. I went all natural and was told I had to get back into my room because my screams were distressing the other women. Ultimately had an emergency c section and when that spinal block went in, just magic pain relief. You do you, but God's not going to give you pain killers. Doctor and nurses will.
I have a high pain tolerance i have had 5 kids 4 of which were natural births the othe c section i didnt require meds and i will state i prefer labour to pregnany as i hate bein sick but there were some women on the wards that did scream n i dont judge them by it at all if thats what helps them through it so be it plus every labour is different the babies are different sizes and weights some women have complications the baby could be breach so dont judge
The Bible says it hurts on purpose to punish women because Eve not only ate the apple but gave it to Adam.
blocks the memory of pain...big difference. so you will be fruitful and multiply again!
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.

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.

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.
