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
HighNMightyBigshotBossOfWorld 1 year ago (edited)
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
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'.

Prove Me Wrong, Gladly
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.

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.
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.

That genius is LibsOfTokTok, who’s responsible for many book bans and who regularly causes her followers to phone in bomb threats to schools and libraries for being “woke” (e.g., allowing POC & LGBTQ people to exist). She’s one of the worst people in the U.S. at the moment.

The sad thing is, if you go look up her tweet history, she was mocking a Gen Z tiktoker, but people who hate her, rather than deal with reality, want to believe she was making a serious comment, when you can literally check up back in March her twitter history. The question is, are the people doing this, doing it because she is conservative or because she is Jewish

I'm almost 46 and I can wear what I wish to work as I see very few customers on my shift. I wore a WuTang Clan shirt last week and this barely 20 tray old kid laughed when I took my jacket off and he saw my shirt. I'm not sure if it was because I'm old or white or both but the look on his face and the snide chuckle really pissed me off. Same same but different

I'm 40 and 70% of my t shirts are band tees. So all of a sudden I'm "cringy" for wearing a Blink 182 shirt even though the band themselves are like 50. What I hate is people wearing band shirts but can't tell you a single song from the band.

I worked in one of the first stores that had fitted, stylish clothing for plus-size women. We had to wear it, too, in the 90s. Most days, at least one person told me to put on something baggier because I looked like a sausage. No, I just wasn't wearing a mummu. I'm thinner now, though still overweight, and my clothing style avoids camel-toe. I tried on a bathing suit in a store (with underwear on still cuz otherwise that's unsanitary), and took a few steps and the entire bottom half went up my... yeah. Like, if I'd been a virgin, not after putting that thing on. My pelvis was devouring the suit like some really weird horror movie. I got myself out of the hideous garment and told my friend my thoughts, only to have some 20-year-old lecture me about "gatekeeping" PS fashion and not being body-positive. Child, I spent years getting mocked so you can walk around with your FUPA hanging out without anyone telling you that you look gross. Do NOT tell me how to do body positivity.

Wear what you want. some one said do not wear socks with sandals - who cares if you are happy just do it. A security guard at Disney Flrida once mocked me in front of my family for the casual clothes I was wearing. I am a Fireman and wear uniform all the time so on holiday I wear casual clothes that I like. Pity I never took him to task.

Quite the contrary actually. If you know who she is, you know she is known for writing idiotic and inflammatory stuff promoting "hate speech and transphobia, and false claims especially relating to medical care of transgender children" all while being connected to Russian misinformation campaigns. She wrote -and owned- far stupider stuff, no way this is satyrical.

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.
Reviewer UK01 1 year ago
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.
