People are far more alike than you might think! Despite cultural and other differences, the human experience is incredibly similar. Usually, it’s the small things in life that unite us. Whether that’s accidentally hitting your elbow on a hard surface, getting stuck behind someone having issues at self-checkout, or rereading your own awesome social media post after someone gives it a like.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our team at Bored Panda has ventured all over the internet to collect some of the funniest and weirdest examples of common and relatable things that most people have done or experienced but rarely talk about.

I looked it up, and apparently that 30-50% is being used completely the wrong way. It's from a studies where they looked at how many people had an inner dialogue AT A CERTAIN MOMENT. They asked whether people had one when the beeper went off, and 30-50% said yes. It doesn't mean the other people don't have inner dialogues at all, they just didn't have one at that specific moment.

No matter how much technology progresses and the innovations you see, your ability to connect with other people will never go out of style. (Well, unless AI becomes sentient and goes all Matrix on us, but let’s not be so pessimistic for a bit.) Empathy, good communication, authenticity, relatability, and active listening are all ‘soft’ skills that are incredibly helpful in life.
Not just in your career but also while you’re interacting with your family, friends, and complete strangers. After all, unless you live alone in the wilderness, you’ll constantly interact with people nearly every day of your life. But even if you’re not particularly emotionally intelligent right now, luckily, it’s something that you can develop.

It depends on the day. I’m usually more than happy to be around other people.
Your emotional intelligence (also known as EI or EQ) is your ability to express and control your own emotions while also understanding, interpreting, and responding to the emotions of other people.
While your IQ is related to book smarts, your EQ revolves around your interactions with other human beings in the real world.

It’s natural to wonder how emotionally intelligent you are. While there are tests that you can take, there are general signs to be aware of, too. Verywell Mind explains that some of the main signs of emotional intelligence include things like:
- Identifying and describing what people feel;
- Being aware of personal strengths and weaknesses;
- Self-confidence, as well as self-acceptance;
- Letting go of mistakes, as well as accepting and embracing change;
- Being curious, especially about other people;
- Feeling empathy and concern for others;
- Accepting responsibility for your actions when you make mistakes;
- Managing your emotions when things get tough.

Used to have some amazing conversations. I miss that. Even when I was on the wrong end, it was still so satisfying to flex mental muscles during a debate to make connections and feel your brain actually growing a little smarter, a little more snappy and responsive. Like you'd upgraded your mental RAM. It also made it possible to hold personal opinions as separate and still respect the other person, because you had to be prepared to be wrong. Now, oftentimes, each will retreat into their particular echochamber and be surrounded by likeminded people telling them they are correct on matters, even with issues more complex than a yes or no or right or wrong. We actively flee from opposing view, even in matters we have little knowledge of, out of kneejerk wish to not be wrong.

Thankfully, he left a voice message asking me to call him back! That I did and we had a good conversation.

I don't. If it's a call from a number I don't know, the bot living in my phone answers it and says "screening suspicious call, please state your name and purpose for calling". Then it determines if you're trying to k**l me or not, and if so puts the call through.
Load More Replies...Identifying a lack of emotional intelligence can be pretty tough. HBR notes that the main components of EQ include:
- Self-awareness;
- Self-management;
- Social awareness;
- Relationship management.
Meanwhile, some indicators that you or someone else at work might have low EQ include things like blaming others when things don’t go as planned, regular outbursts, and strained conversations.

It’s my dryer that lies to me. The washer is reliable. The dryer though - it must be on the edge of some dark matter black hole where time has slowed significantly!
Thanos'Fingers 7 months ago
Just black hole. No dark matter required. Of course, the whole Interstellar thing with the time dilation is exaggerated heavily for Hollywood. You would have to pass the accretion disc of a black hole to see any measureable time dilation, but at that point you would be ripped apart from gravitational forces, friction and extreme radiation. You certainly wouldn't have a pretty serene planet that only has the issue of supermassive tidal waves every few hours. You'd have a dead planet with gravity so high the planet would be structurally unsound and crumbling. Not a place to dry your socks.

For some people, emotional intelligence is something that comes naturally to them. For others, it’s something that they take a while to develop, while others still need to be very intentional about practicing it.
Some of the main ways that you can raise your EQ include things like journaling, where you record your emotions and reflect on how they influenced your decisions and interactions. That way, you know what mistakes you made and what not to do in the future.

Still beats the times when you'd be behind a senior citizen at the checkout counter, and they were paying by check. They'd sit there doing nothing while the cashier rings them up, then finally move when given the total, take minutes to dig out their checkbook from their massive purse, then search again for a pen, and finally are given one by the cashier. Then they begin to write out the check, stopping to ask what store they are in so they know who to make it out to, then asking the amount again, then stopping to write the check in the ledger, then tearing out the check and handing it over. And the cashier would then need ID, so back to the purse to dig out their wallet. Then struggling to dig out their ID from said wallet. Oh, the good old days...

It’s by opening up about those small moments of friction with other people and your environment that you begin to realize how similar everyone really is. If you start opening up about all the little things you experience in your daily life, you might come to the conclusion that you’re way more similar to other individuals than you are different.
Sure, everyone is unique in some small ways. But the core human experience, especially during your mundane routine, is fairly relatable to most people on Earth. You’ve got work or studies to get to, groceries to buy, food to cook and eat, chores to do, kids to raise, and a hundred other small things to do every day.

Because our kitchen sink is in the corner next to the stove and with these strange wedge-shaped counters on either side, there's no space, so I will put a dirty pot on the counter behind me while I'm cooking because I need space. Then I get done all of the dishes and wipe up and all, and then I turn around. Kinda like "I'll get gas in the morning", I leave it there since I still need space to cook. So fine until the next night and I know I've gotta wash those pots before I'm comfortable cooking... unless I set it on the counter behind me.

It's funny now, when I think back on it - at the time, not so much, I honestly thought I was going to asphyxiate right before being on a national broadcast.

On the flip side, I have heard songs WAY better than the 'hit' song and asked "why didn't they release THIS one?"

Use Your Illusion I & II had some songs on them that were way better than what was commercially released.

Sometimes I end up needing something else anyway. Usually, I’ll just say “Excuse me” and most people are willing to accommodate my needing something nearby.

I don't understand how I can type a question into Google and get the correct answer every time. Yet I can ask the Google in my kitchen the exact same question out loud, and I get Slim Shady on Spotify.

This still haunts me but about 6 years ago I was a teacher, and I was in class with a colleague, both of us late twenties. I wish I was making it up. She typed into the address bar: Google search, then clicked on Google in the search results, then searched for Google mail, clicked on Gmail, in Gmail she searched for YouTube, then opened an email from YouTube and, I think (I was pretty stunned by this point) clicked on a link, then searched for the video she wanted to put on. It might have been slightly different: it was confusing and bizarre, and my brain just didn't know what to do with what had just happened, but it was that kind of process. I asked if she always searched for videos like that and she said yes

And then there's my dad who called the other day to ask if I could find info on a man who was in the Danish government from 1939-1943. He said the government's official website only goes back to the 1950s. I asked if he'd googled the person and my dad said "no. I can't do that". So I did and I found all the info my dad was looking for in less than 10 secs. Now I need to teach my dad to google. Could save him much time and struggles. Poor man. Lol

When feel myself getting like this, I’ll just make a suggestion about using more efficient terminology. For example, I would suggest typing “ beef and broccoli stir-fry recipe” instead of “ how to make a beef and broccoli stir-fry” into a search engine’s website.

Just say, Smoke blows towards beauty, and it will immediately blow away from you.
Tom Hutcherson 6 months ago
Campfire smoke seems to follow you due to a combination of air currents, wind patterns, and your own body's interaction with the fire's airflow. When a fire burns, it creates rising warm air, drawing in cooler air from below. If you're near the fire, your body can disrupt this airflow, creating a low-pressure area that pulls the smoke towards you. Wind can also play a role, swirling and carrying smoke in unexpected directions, especially if you're moving around.
Marlene Ricker 7 months ago
I was told to say "I hate rabbits" to keep the smoke away. It is actually kind of funny sitting around the campfire and hearing everybody saying "I hate rabbits"!

I'm sure they can. Whether they should or not is a question for the animal-love people out there. Hah, I just had a thought, what if the raccoons turned it down? I would burn that recipe.

Does the gown not stop it? Or do they just not put these on guys? Genuine question - as a girl I’ve never had my hair cut without them putting a gown on over my clothes. Not sure if gown is the right word though… it’s almost like a surgical robe that goes over your clothes 😅

Remember when hair dressers brushed the hair off your face? I've noticed they don't do this anymore. I have to wash my face, pretty much go home and shower. However I've noticed it's not as much of a problem if they cut my hair when it's dry the wash my hair.
