50 Relatable Moments That Prove We’re All Just Human
You have far more in common with people living around the world than you might think. Sure, you might come from different backgrounds and cultures, but what unites you is the vast number of small, routine, mildly embarrassing things that happen to practically everyone.
But we don’t expect you to just believe us. Our team here at Bored Panda has collected the proof. Scroll down for our compilation of some of the slightly awkward moments that are so relatable and universal, you might think we’re posting about your life. Enjoy!

I'm working at a place where we have a password everyone knows but our system requires us to change it every few weeks. it has a number in it we are just indexing by "1" every time. I think we're in the 30s now.

I'm older and was well into adulthood when the x86 became a thing. And I recently closed over a thousand tabs on my phone's browser. I currently have [scroll][scroll][scroll][scroll][scroll] several tabs open. I think it's maybe the way some people's minds work that "oh cool I'll read that later" [opens in tab] but that later never arrives and you don't remember and Chrome has been showing ":D" as the number of open tabs for far too long...

That's why I schedule things I'm going to hate in the morning. Dentist appointment? Next Tuesday at 9am. Gonna get three cavities fixed and a cleaning. I'm also immune to Novocain. Get it done and get it out of the way early is my attitude.

I'm typically a pretty good speller, but sometimes/certain words just look wrong, so I will occasionally type it out and spell check it, just to make sure.

When I almost get hit by someone running a stop sign. Almost a weekly occurrence here.

I have shied away from most social media sites, so this is not a common thing for me. But I am proud of one. I saw a very short little video on Facebook of this weird little spider that was shaking itself super fast to molt out of its skin. And I posted, "Me getting out of my sports bra after a workout". And within 1.5 seconds a dude had responded, "Pics or it didn't happen". I thought this was all the height of hilarity and still giggle about it sometimes. Got about 500 upvotes in a short time, but then I never looked at it again. The only other one was a story about my Dad that last I looked (a couple of years ago) had quite a few thousand upvotes on Quora. (It didn't used to be such a cesspool. Now it's just bots and crazy people talking to each other.)

Took me a minute but I got one. Blue monday by the band O**y. And the icing on the cake is It's a cover of a New Order song.

Nope, I just stop talking after that. If you want my conversation you should've appreciated it before.

I like this. Most people complain about having BAD dreams. But I always liked them because I would wake up and love the feeling of realizing it was all a dream. (I dreamt two nights ago that my parents - long dead - called me the anti-Christ. When I protested, my Dad barked, "Well, you were the one who said it!" Then my Mom gave me a shot of a strong sedative so she could eject me from the house and change the locks. This has zero relation to anything that ever happened when they were alive, but it really upset me. Then I realized it was just a dream and it was AWESOME.)

I'm sure the Germans have a word for that that's almost as long as that sentence.

If you have to write it down or trust your web browser to remember it, then it's not really a password is it?

That should be "lie down" of course. Or "lay my self down, lay my head on the pillow, lay an egg in the nest," those all have an object. Lay is the transitive, with a direct object. "Lie" is intransitive, doesn't have a direct object. (We all get confused because "lay" is also the past tense of lie. We don't have the same problem with "sit" and "set".) I'm so glad I didn't have to learn English as a foreign language. It makes no sense so many times.

IIRC this is the Silver Surfer. However, that hasn't prevented the fact that I'm now hearing Joe Satriani "Surfing with the Alien" in my head. I'm OK with that. I've loved that album since I first encountered it in the early 90s.

I’m in my 60s and had a right-wing driver about 30 years younger than me who would not take my hints to steer him to a neutral topic…

...but you need to stay in character so you keep on waving until a taxi stops and drops you at the next airport and some hours later you're in another country, trying to start a new life...🙋🏽

And rhe theater worker probably has heard that at least dozen times daily. Or I would think so, because as a waitress you wish everyone a nice meal and about every fifth answers "thanks, you too". They always get really embarrassed and I have to explain that it's not rare and I even barely notice anymore.

Trying to calculate the true mpg you feel your car has, making the risky decision to do it after work because you can't be late again. You were already late before because you didn't wanna put gas in the day before work, so you ride the spiral til days end when you remember your wildly risky decision and drive hating yourself and hoping your math was right at 5:30 in the morning.

OMG, I did this to my poor ex-husband. Well, he had met my Mom once or twice before. But we go over and he sits with her in the living room, and I say, "I'll be right back." I come back a minute later to present my cat to my ex and realize my poor ex had to sit and watch the r**e scene in Coal Miner's Daughter with my Mom. Only levity could have salvaged it and neither of them had much of sense of humor (or a sense of absurdity).

Does anyone actually keep their pants up above their knees? Modesty? Down to the ankles for me. Freedom of movement, as needed.

I dont mean to poor grumpiness on a funny meme, but i will anyway :). You should not wear rings when you wear these gloves for hygienic purposes. Exactly for this reason. Before the glove tears, micro abrasions have formed, making the glove useless. Also the amount of bacteria under a ring, yuck.
