After the Titanic hit an iceberg during her maiden voyage to New York City, the musicians decided to do their part while the crew loaded the lifeboats. Looking to soothe everyone's nerves, they continued to play as the ship sunk lower and lower into the ocean. All 8 musicians perished that night in the sea.
Such heroism is hard to match, but there is a select breed of people who remain calm in all sorts of ridiculous and weird situations. And many of them end up featured in the subreddit r/hmmm. Continue scrolling and check out these bad*sses!

Nowadays, even reading the daily news can be stressful. Add on the stresses of daily life — such as handling work demands or adjusting to retirement, dealing with family issues, coping with illness, or caregiving — and you may become really anxious really fast.
"Some degree of anxiety is normal and even necessary," Dr. Ann Epstein, a psychiatrist at Harvard-affiliated Cambridge Health Alliance and medical editor of the Harvard Special Health Report Coping with Anxiety and Stress, said.
"Anxiety signals us that something is awry or might need our attention. However, you don't want the response to become exaggerated or to dominate your life," Epstein explained. Good coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety can help you get through turbulent times.
It's a good idea to begin by figuring out whether your anxiety is normal or you have a disorder — defined as symptoms that have plagued you for at least six months.
If your anxiety has been interfering with your daily life for a while, it might be time to see a mental health professional. But if you're confident that your anxiety is of the everyday variety, you might get some relief by doing the following things.
Talk about it. Even something as simple as explaining your concerns to friends and family can help you put them in perspective. Further discussion with your doctor can identify any stress-induced health issues, like high blood pressure or poor sleep, that you may have developed and help you find ways to treat them.
Take care of yourself. For example, eat healthy, tasty meals. Pursue your favorite activities, even if it's just watching a good movie or TV series, reading a new novel, visiting a museum, gardening, walking the dog, or playing with grandchildren. Becoming immersed in pleasurable activities can help you get rid of anxiety, at least temporarily.
Get regular exercise. Physical activity affects the nervous system and reduces stress. 30 minutes of walking can be enough to help boost your mood. Yoga and tai chi can also relax your body and mind.
Keep a list. Whenever a worry or fear begins to take over your thoughts, write it down in as much detail as you can. Many people find that just articulating their cares provides some relief.
Use calming techniques. Learning techniques to counter stress can improve your mood, reduce your health risks, and enhance your appreciation of daily life. Many Y's and health centers offer stress-reduction programs, which may include instruction in mindfulness, relaxation, yoga, or tai chi. There are numerous books, YouTube videos and smartphone apps that can guide you in practicing these techniques.
Hello from the other side I must've called a thousand times To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done But when I call, you never seem to be home
The radiator needs water. Fk, where the hell is the radiator?
Let this be a lesson boys & girls, always replace the fuel lines on a vintage automobile, no matter how good they look. Never bypass a mechanical fuel pump unless the electric one is ignition-switched. Always carry a fire extinguisher, because you never know. Insurance will cover receipts but not sweat equity; protecting that is your job.
Maybe he figured it’s not worth it, let me get my groceries out though
Can't tell you how many times I have seen this happen. Air cooled engine with a broken fuel line, carbeurator, or oil seal. Porsche's a couple times too.
I actually had this happen to me only it was a VW wagon which meant the engine on fire was inside my car🥺. Rainy morning on I-45 South in Houston and before cell phones! Will never forget the kid who saw me. He was on the other side of the highway. He got off and came back to give me a ride to next exit. Said his mom would be so angry if he hadn’t come back for me! What a great kid🥰
Mom ill get you out in a minute, I don’t want the milk or bread fried!!! Hahahaha
Oh not not my Bug.. he knows his gear was in the front and grabbing what he can..
The batteries are located under the back seat, and it will overheat, then catch fire. My dad owned the same fire-bug years ago.
I think he's trying to rescue his luggage before the whole thing burns to the ground
A beetle fuel line failure. They’re gravity fed, the tank is behind the dashboard, all the more reason HE SHOULD NOT BE STANDING THERE.
Overheating engine setting the car on fire is a common thing with these beetles.
the petrol tank is in the front- and the fuel lines run front front to back....
Yeah... The problem is sure the engine... not the entire car burning!
The trunk/boot is in the front in VW beetles. So he's retrieving some items, not looking at the engine.
Load More Replies...the engine is in the back hatch. He seems to be retrieving his belongings from the "trunk" in front. All older VW's were designed like that. My first car was a 1972 VW Beetle

So once again the title is the absurd part of the article? Sure, lots of weird things in the pictures, but it's only a few of them that show people remaining calm while something weird goes on right next to them...
Yeah, I hope this site isn't turning into another Buzzfeed.
Load More Replies...I like these kind of posts where people can make funny comments. We need more of these.
I found this rather boring. No titles. No way to understand what is supposed to be going on. I guess maybe it's just me.
