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.

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

Never Get A Tattoo If You Can't Understand What It Says

Never Get A Tattoo If You Can't Understand What It Says

takatori Report

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.

It's rude to say this about any job, but I thought this classist nonsense was reserved for sanitation workers and employees at fast food restaurants. People are saying this about electricians now? Who do they think is going to fix their stuff?

I love when we get calls at my job from brokers treating us like we are dumb, when in fact we make work in the customer service department, but we all have the same brokers license that they do.

My son’s friend , who’s is 20, is an apprentice electrician right now. He makes more money than he knows what to do with. He lives at home and has a very generous heart. How generous? He is into Warhammer, and will often buy my son and friends armies. They start at $160. They keep telling him to stop, but he insists. And there are no strings attached to these gifts either.

I do not understand the dad's mentality at all. I got a degree and I still show my girls pretty much all jobs we come across. There is road work being done? We talk about how that is a very important job and if it is possible/the workers are not in too much a rush we walk over to the site and we look at what they are doing and if the workers have time for it and are up to it we engage in conversation about how awesome their job is. We have done this with police officers as well. And those ppl on the trucks collecting trash. People working on houses and workers repairing stuff in the kids' kindergarten etc. I try my best to show my girls that ALL jobs are important to keep our society running as (somewhat) smoothly as it is. I think it's a very outdated idea that you only get a properly paid job that is interesting and just... you know, 'good'... if you get some degree at a university or whatever. And despite my degree I am unemployed. Lol

UGH. Every honest job is worthy of respect. Sanitation workers and custodians are vital in preventing disease spread and protecting public health. People have NO IDEA how much knowledge and skill most trades require. The community cannot function without tradespeople. However, the world would likely be much improved without stockbrokers, multinational corporations (and their CEOS), lobbyists, and many other 'jobs' that are seen as elite.

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.

A Person Who Hacked My Credit Card Emailed Me, Asking Why I Canceled His Flight

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.

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.
