40 Internet Users Warn Everyone About ‘Harmless’ Things That Are, In Fact, Dangerous

Yeah. I’ve been bullied since kindergarten (yay undiagnosed autism), and it really pisses me off to see people joking around about that kind of thing

This is a 'joke' bullies love to play to minimize what they're doing. I've never heard any decent person ever saying this even in jest. Decent people don't bully. Not even for fun. And they make no more jokes about bullying than they would make jokes about cancer, depression or sexual harrassment. Many people will read this and feel triggered to defend 'harmless pranks' or 'dark humour'. To them I got only one thing to say: if you can laugh about real people suffering. You're a bully. That's it. Your friend circle is not a movie or a sketch. Dame hoes for colleagues or family. If you see a person struggling or hurting and you think that's funny, you're a jerk. A decent person would not laugh seeing that.

People don’t take me seriously when I ask them to stop. I thought it was my height at first (5’1) but my friend who is shorter than me also ignores me when I say stop

My pants after I've farted

It is so sad how words and actions can turn a 6'6" grown man into a small child. Words can hurt harder than a slap to the face. I really hope you have someone who brings you back to the full confident man, after the AH tear you down.

Like the Columbine killers? People sure claimed that, but that was entirely made up.

Especially on highways. I always used to wonder how anyone could fall asleep driving. Then I got a job where I had to drive 2 hours each way. There's this weird hypnotism thing that happens with the sunlight flashing in between the trees. It's like a strobe light. Especially in the winter when you've got the car heat on and then the strobe effect and maybe you aren't awake yet in the morning. I found quite a few times that I was struggling to focus and swerving a little bit here and there. It really does feel like you're a little drunk.

Don't do it & if ppl get mad at you for not being irresponsible. They don't care about you.

She's just selfish uncaring especially for your sick baby..you did the right thing

Don't get me started!

Agree, we didn't do it either. One a*****e does it years ago and it eventually becomes a tradition, pffftt.

It was completely unheard of when I was married 58 years ago so who the hell thinks it's "tradition?" Since when and by whom? It's rude and tasteless and stupid to make fools of yourselves and I'd punch the person in the face who did that to me. Just promised to love honour and respect them and then give them a faceful of c**p? Unbelievable. 🙄

Especially kids. That’s just making an unfunny joke at their expense.

Well we each took a bit of frosting and put it on the end of the others nose. For us it was to show our playfulness (40+ yrs). Pushing face, or shoving a huge amount No fricking way!!!

Something that has only been done for 10 years can not be considered a tradition. And it's absolutely ridiculous. I would get an immediate annulment if my new husband did that to me.

The tradition as I understood it was to feed your spouse a bite of cake. As a show of service.

They are low life to do such things on other people. Especially if it's a kid!

Or hide under the break pedal?

Yup, mine has her own seat in the back, with a seatbelt and she can reach the window to look out. She even opens the window at times and enjoys the sniffs. I was lazy the other day and just plonked her in the passenger seat as we were just going round the corner but she immediately climbed through to the back and sat in her seat. Felt like I was being shamed by my dog lol

Oh I need that

And radial tires (the standard since very early 70s) hydroplane unpredictably at any speed over ~30-35mph. Many of the newer tires have engineered tread designs to prevent this, but since the tires are ridiculously wide these days, no f*ckin way I'm gonna trust that sh*t......

10,000 upvotes for a good comparison. Hydroplaning kills. :-(

I hydroplaned trying to get my high school friend home for curfew. Made the decision that night I would NEVER be "that parent".

Happened to me once, a har dry day, and a hydrant was leaking into the street. I was still a new driver, so I pressed too hard on the brakes when I wanted to slow down, and I slid across two lanes and up onto a sidewalk. I was extreme lucky that there were no other cars, and that nobody was on that part of the sidewalk. Nearly gave a guy a heart attack, though .

worse than that, its liquid ice!

my mom always tells me the story about how when she lived in a colder state that there was ice she couldn't see under a bridge and got into a wreck. She was the only one there and didn't get hurt, and it's been her only wreck. She tells this story all throughout winter and it's definitely scared me enough where I don't feel comfortable going anywhere when it's winter

Also wet leaves in the fall.
