They say not to count your chickens before they hatch. ‘Cause by doing so, you raise the chances for an instant loss of karma, dignity, and self-confidence, like, triple.

If you've ever been near the finish line raising your arms high in the sky, only to feel a cold wave of wind passing through while you enjoy the moment of not-earned victory, you need no further explanation. And if you are one of the lucky ones who hasn’t had their fair share of premature celebration-turned nightmare, please stay that way and keep on scrolling to see what not to do to become one of many.

Thanks to the subreddit r/Prematurecelebration, we now have the full-on archive of cringey glory that is a product of people celebrating just a microscopic little bit too early. So you'd better get ready to crack up big time.

To find out more about the community behind the r/Prematurecelebration subreddit, Bored Panda reached out to one of its moderators, u/N8theGr8, who was happy to share some insights.

The mod told us that the subreddit was created by u/potato88, who’s now a suspended user, back in 2013. Some time ago, though, the subreddit had no moderators, so the admins gave it to the current mod team, u/N8theGr8 said.

But since the subreddit revolves around a “kind of niche topic,” it’s not as active as it could be. “But we have half a million subscribers and it stays relatively active,” they added. Right now, the subreddit has 525k members in total and their community is still growing.

Reminder- it's illegal for us little people to use the loopholes the corporations bought for themselves.

Actually you are very unlikely to be audited, the so called IRS worker is cringe. I am an accountant and a business owner, and it is disgusting what people can and do get away with.,..not sure why when people don't like something they pretend its not something that happens all the time and doesn't get punished. If I wanted you to do them I could add to his comment and guess what, its legal...so thats the kicker here....Starting a business is not illegal, you do not need to be successful, and you can do all of this 100% legally.

The IRS is woefully understaffed. But had time to audit my 84 year old mother in law because she had too many medical deductions. It was the year that my father in law died of a heart attack after open heart surgery. Two 84 year olds have medical bills? Shocker.

So long if he is running an actual business, even mowing yards, he should be okay. My son in law did this when he's started mowing yards a few years ago. But is was a full time, 2 person small business

No? He’s claiming every dollar as a business expense when it’s not. That’s the fraud the IRS is talking about.

Actually nothing illegal here. Only issue is what business to operate? Try deliveries. That will do it. I doubt if the guy claiming to be with the IRS is legit. They never offer advice before the fact.

But we let CEOs and crooked politicians do stuff like that all the time. And anyway the IRS is a useless organization that doesn't even have a good grasp themselves on our tax codes and isn't constitutional. So down with the IRS!

This is just incredibly dumb. And people wonder why 2008 happened? THIS is why! Because people get credit-cards for all kind of s**t and have nothing to back up the credit with! THIS is the reason. This and the weird idea that having credit-debt is for some reason a good thing i nthe US that makes people trust you more? As long as you pay that debt now and then, everyone loves you. Even if you pay one credit from another credit-card. SMH.

Getting that SBA grant isn't that easy either. My wife actually had extra expenses due to the tax deadline extension, filed for every assistance program that came along and got nothing. Finally had to take out a loan to stay afloat. In the meantime large corporations got loans that should have gone to small businesses.

He had prepaid millions before his tax return. He also had a Biz loss that carried forward. That's something any biz has the right to do. Actually read the return and not just the headlines.

The problem is that a lot of the laws are very confusing, so really to stay on the right side of the law, you need a tax attorney, but that costs money.

Good Idea To Straight Up Tell Everyone That You're Scamming A Company

Good Idea To Straight Up Tell Everyone That You're Scamming A Company

yeetlolbeans Report

When asked about the whole concept of premature celebration that the subreddit as all about, the moderator explained that it “just means celebrating some kind of win or victory before you really should.”

ADVERTISEMENT

“Like a guy who runs a race and then slows down right at the end to do a victory jump and throw his arms in the air, only to be passed by the 2nd-place guy who then wins the race. Or 'Dewey Defeats Truman' newspaper held up by President Truman.”

The redditor u/N8theGr8 continued: “When you're so close to the end that victory looks assured is when a lot of people let their guard down, and don't have the situational awareness to realize that someone else is trying to win too. It's fine to celebrate early, but make sure you're in a safe position to do so.”
