Generally, we don’t like feeling uncomfortable. Whether it’s physical discomfort like sitting in a back-breaking chair or emotional annoyance of having to listen to a drunk toast by the bride’s uncle at a wedding, many of us would rather avoid these types of experiences. However, when it comes to cringe, there’s something about it that we find fascinating.

Huge contributors to second-hand embarrassment online are oversharers. Nowadays, some people post first and then think, and that often leads to awkwardness for everybody. Bored Panda has collected some of the most cringy posts where people clearly couldn’t read the room and made things awkward.

I remember that there was such a decrease of flu patients during the COVID years that cough medicine companies suffered. I guess a mask helps after all

    No, it doesn't. We all had a meeting without you. We decided that the attention that Star Wars gets on May 4th is just too intense, so we need to take away an arbitrary day. The vote wasn't unanimous, but there was enough of a majority to determine that we would have to sacrifice May 16th. Your birthday is now officially Feb 29th, with the leap year babies.
