26 People Are Sharing Obscure Facts From Their Lives That Make Others Go “The What?”
Odds are, you’ve been on the internet for so long that barely anything shocks or fazes you anymore. After a while, we simply get desensitized to most stories and it takes something truly powerful to make our jaws drop. Right? Luckily for us, the internet’s chock full of hilarious, downright bizarre, and utterly weird material to keep us entertained all year long. And Twitter is a wonderful source of things that will make you ask out loud: “What?!”
Twitter user Hikikomorphism started up a viral thread asking people to share the obscure facts and anecdotes from their lives that make people react like in the legendary “The What?” meme (aka the “Rug Doctor Woman Ad” meme). You can bet your bottom dollar that people delivered! Scroll down to find their peculiar tales, upvote the ones that caught you off guard, and if you’ve got any similar ones to share, the comment section is eagerly waiting for you, Pandas.

Jesus. A guy misses out one word and you accuse him of being an animal cruelty case. Kick him *out*. That's it. Performative outrage is getting pretty old.

Cats do sense these things. A few weeks before my due date, one day my two cats started acting weird. Wouldn't leave my side, purring, being restless. I even took a picture of them laying on their backs, side by side next to me (usually they keep their distance to each other). The next night, my water broke and soon we had our baby. (One cat became the security guard for the baby, watching over as she slept and going to the resque as soon as he heard a cry. The other is clearly training her to be the ultimate petter and cat's best friend.)
Suz66 4 years ago
It’s amazing that people are so focused on the cat and whether or not they were going to kick it, (they didn’t btw,) rather than the miracle that the cat alerted them they were having a stroke! This person would be dead otherwise. For those who said they wish the person was dead have no soul! That’s terrible. The cat was unharmed and I believe they meant to say kick the cat out.
Tristan J 4 years ago
The full thread implies that he meant what he said, as he referenced failing to kick cats because they ran away. Anyone who deliberately kicks a cat has no soul, and I don't see why so many people are excusing this abhorrent behaviour just because the person had the misfortune of ill health.

Animals are very aware to things that we don't notice, if your cat or dog start acting weird around you, something could be seriously wrong! We went to the Safari park when my wife was pregnant, and they all ignored me (guy with the food!) and swarmed around her instead!

Um... if you were about to kick that cat, you probably should have died. You don't deserve what that cat accidentally did for you. You don't deserve a cat at all if you kick them.

My history teacher in HS got struck by lightning while in his house. It knocked him out cold but he said it wasn't as bad as you think. He couldn't figure out how it hit him inside his house. Maybe the TV antenna? He woke up draped over his couch.
When Bored Panda reached out to the author of the thread, they mentioned that they didn't expect it to get such a large audience for their post. "I would prefer not to be perceived," they added.
Hikikomorphism’s thread got more than 23.4k likes and was retweeted over 35k times. What’s more, the popularity of the post spread to other platforms as well, including Imgur, where it got over 93k views and 2.5k upvotes in the span of a single day. Most of these stories made me do a double-take, but I’m curious to know if you thought they were as bizarre as I did, dear Pandas.
Meanwhile, let’s take a gander at the origins of the “The What?” meme that Twitter user Hikikomorphism referred to. The meme’s a favorite of mine and a couple of my closest colleagues, and it’s a wonderful reaction pic when we’re faced with something our minds have a tough time processing.

Ha. This also happened to me - I was walking down the street and a pigeon came out of nowhere and collided with my chest and I instinctively grabbed him, then I spent about a minute wondering "now what" before I let him go on his merry way. He was really frightened and kept swiveling his head to look at me with both eyes and making soft "coo" noises. He also pooped, luckily on the ground, not on my clothes.

Somewhat surprisingly, the photo from the “The What?” meme comes from an old Rug Doctor advertisement that could be seen in various retail stores. According to Know Your Meme, the earliest examples of this ad to be found online date all the way back to November 24, 2014.
The woman in the ad eventually became a meme because of her blank stare and smile. The meme is currently most often used to express confusion and disbelief. The very first time that the meme was used was on June 26, 2017, when redditor Kittty_velor posted the photo on the r/funny subreddit. The post featured a close-up of the woman’s face, though it didn’t have the iconic words “The What?” on them.

I visited the Grand Canyon once with my father, and we were both amazed how close so many went to the edge, and the lengths they go to for pictures. The absolute best/worst was a late teens girl posing for her boyfriend by standing on one leg, leaning back with arms pinwheeling, an inch from the edge. We were so sure we were going to see a human die that day. Seriously...I hate to disturb the natural beauty of nature, but sometimes we need to put in guard rails for a reason to protect people from themselves. Yes, many will climb over and do it anyway, but maybe it would cut down the number

The meme spread and took on various formats that utilized the woman’s ‘creepy’ gaze for the purpose of hilarity. It crystallized into the meme we know today after the words “The What?” were added to it during the Storm Area 51 event in 2019. That’s when the meme started spreading on Twitter and beyond. Now, it’s the perfect reaction pic to weird anecdotes on Twitter that make us wonder whether we’re in a bizarre comedy or if this really is real-life.

Related: Ever wonder why when you get a fever, you get a headache behind your eyes? Because your brain expands with increased temperature faster than your skull does, just like the fluid in a thermometer. So your brain pushes its way into hole for your optic nerve in the back of your eye sockets.

When I was 9, there was a case of chicken pox that ripped through my school. My mother was sure I would get it but I didn't. A month later, I got a red blotch on my chest. Shortly after, I broke out in spots all over my body which the school assumed was chicken pox and sent me home. My mother took me to a doctor and I did not have chicken pox but a condition known as pityriasis rosea. Doctors still don't now what causes it, but it is not contagious. So my mother sent me to school. Nothing like being treated like a leper on the playground to give you self esteem issues in your adult years.

I stayed once at a friend’s uncle’s cottage. A buddy and I were given a pellet gun and a machete and told to go enjoy the forest. We hiked for hours in the middle of nowhere loosely following a river so we could get back. In the middle of this field there was a small shack. There were no roads to it, no one around for miles, so we went to investigate. When we got close, we realized it was full of boxes., floor to ceiling full of boxes. The door was unlocked so we went in. We pulled the top off one of the boxes, only to find they where absolutely filled with the little fabric labels you put on clothes. All for a company I had never heard of. We checked a few other boxes; all were the same, there were tens of thousands of these labels. Then we just closed the boxes back up and left. I’m not sure what we expected to find, but that wasn’t it.

My parents decided they didn't want me & being in hospital was a convenient time to cut ties. So after a few months in hospital I went straight into foster care as a teenager. Got placed in an group home where a resident was killed by staff & I ran away. So when people as me where I went to high school, I just say "oh, here and there. I moved a lot" it's technically true.

My brother spilt hot coffee on himself when he was really young, less than 6 I think. He ended up with scars on his back and wrist that only faded a months ago (it's been 10+ years)

I had a series off unfortunate events at 15yrs old. Itt started with getting hit by a truck, which ripped off my foot, which led to me getting demoral, it was discovered I'm allergic to demoral when I started seizing, died, was revived and fell into a coma for 3 days. My parents decided they didn't want me & being in hospital was a convenient time to cut ties. So after a few months in hospital I went straight into foster care as a teenager. Got placed in an group home where a resident was killed by staff & I ran away. So when people as me where I went to high school, I just say "oh, here and there. I moved a lot" it's technically true.
