Australia has a reputation where the wildlife is trying to kill you. And sure, that’s an exaggeration. Many of the most dangerous animals in Australia rarely if ever kill humans, and the second-deadliest species on the continent is none other than the humble honey bee.

But still. When you look at the facts, it’s hard to stay rational. Twenty-one of the 25 most venomous snakes in the world all live in Australia. A bite from a Sydney funnel-web spider, an Aussie native, can kill you in fifteen minutes. If you’re in the water and you manage to avoid the saltwater crocodiles and the great white sharks, you may still run into an Irukandji jellyfish, one of the world’s most poisonous jellyfishes. There’s even a plant called a “suicide plant,” because touching it can sting you so badly you wish you were dead.

Australia might not be more or dangerous than anywhere else in the world, but it’s still home to some terrifying flora and fauna. Here are 15 photos to prove it.

1. The pine cone that can fall on you and kill you. (Bunya pine cone)

2. “I’m from Darwin, Australia and our rivers here are full of these monstrosities. This guy here is nicknamed Nifty, and he is about 6m long.”

3. “My Mom and girlfriend found this on the beach today.” (Armed anemone)

4. No, they’re not rebooting Tremors. (Giant earthworm)

5. “This hot pink slug is found in only one forest on an extinct volcano in Australia.” (Kaputar slug)

6. “He dried off and flew away as soon as it was dark. Wasn’t sick at all, just wet.” (Gray-headed flying fox)

7. No, that’s not frost. Those are spider webs. (From wolf and monkey spiders)

8. “This is how Australians ensure their meter isn’t read.” (Huntsman spider)

9. Let me get $40 on pump 3, and a new pair of underpants. (Python)

10. “Thought it was a fallen hot air balloon. Was actually a dead whale filled with gas, on the brink of exploding.” (Humpback whale)

11. “Honey, there’s a kid on our bug.” (Goliath stick insect)

12. “Believe it or not, this is one of the least dangerous spiders we have in Australia.” (Huntsman spider)

13. “Damn, nature. You scary.” (Termite mound)

14. Tiny, colorful, and can kill you in minutes. (Blue-ringed octopus, one of four venomous octopus species.)

15. “Meanwhile in Australia….” (Olive python vs. freshwater crocodile)

The sexual history question is supposed to be a routine part of check-ups and phsyicals. It’s there to cover bases and help doctors and nurses check off boxes and eliminate variables, or lead them to the source of a potential problem.

But, as these 12 stories from doctors, nurses, and patients can attest, when the subject of sex is invoked, the routine can swiftly veer into the absurd:

#1. Be Cool

When I was in year seven, probably 11 or 12 years old, I had broken my foot in a way that needed a minor surgery, so my cute twentysomething nurse was asking me the pre questions with my dad.

When she got to the personal part, she asked if I wanted my dad to leave the room, I said no, because, whatever.

When she asked if I was sexually active, I turned to my dad and said in a loud whisper, “I want her to think I’m cool.”

#2. Socially Active

The best response I’ve heard to this question was from a quiet guy in my freshman college English class.

Somehow our discussion on vaccines led to this topic, and he told a story about his doctor asking if he was sexually active.

His perfect response was, “Bro, I’m not even socially active.”

#3. Sweet Ride

One of my classmates was asking a 75 year old woman with dementia about her occupation for a PT exam.

Her response: “I give blowjobs in my garage to afford my sweet ride.”

#4. “Not that that would change a thing, though.”

I’m a hospital corpsman (navy medic) and I had this older retired salty dog as a patient a while ago.

His wife had passed away, but I didn’t know that.

When I asked if was sexually active he said, “Well, no for two reasons: I’m married, and she’s dead. Not that that would change a thing, though.”

I felt terrible, and then he just started laughing and told me not to feel bad.

Seriously caught me off guard though.

Crusty old bastard!

#5. Huge Difference

My doctor was just telling me a story…

Back when they first started performing vasectomies, doctors had to call their patients back for standard follow up questioning a number of weeks after the procedure.

He told me he got the same answers from all of the couples he interviewed:

Any Sensation change? -No, Any performance Change? – No… etc.

This went on and on… until one day, he asked a couple if there was anything different after the procedure. Any changes at all….

The wife said YES… There is a huge difference since he had the surgery.

My doc was very surprised, and when he inquired further, the wife said, “It tastes different”…

He said it was all he could do to keep from laughing as he made the note of, “Seminal fluid tastes different after procedure”

#6. Lottery

I told my doctor back in high school that I wasn’t sexually active and she said:

“And you go to ______ High School?! I should play the lottery!”

Thrift stores are totally underrated. Unlike your Wal-Mart’s or your Costco’s, a thrift store gets their inventory entirely for free thanks to the generosity of the public. This means that your average thrift store can put pretty much anything on their shelves without worrying if people will actually buy it. It’s not like they’re losing money! And this means that thrift stores are always a good bet to find some weirdness.

We’ve covered thrift store oddities before, but there will ALWAYS be more surprises. Here then are 15 more examples of thrift store gold.

1. The Monuhh Leesa

2. It gets chilly on Easter Island.

3. Prettttty sure that’s a forgery.

In reality, Jesus never signed an autograph for less than 50 shekels.

4. A needlepoint can really make a room inviting.

5. Salt ‘n’ Pepa salt & pepper shakers.

I want.

6. Everyone should have a set of these.

7. Perfect for your next job interview.

8. “A coffee cup that looks like my husband.”

9. A classic Bowl o’ Babies.

10. Something tells me Dan Recer has never heard of “therapy.”

11. Made with 100% real Grinch.

12. Yet another scandal hits the Royal Family.

13. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and…Marshmallow.

14. Drink up!

15. If their spelling skills are any indication, you’re gonna be fine.

The post 15 Strange Things People Found In Thrift Stores appeared first on UberFacts.

Body hair goes in and out of style, and that’s nothing new. Waxing, or the practice of ripping away body hair with hot wax, goes all the way back to ancient Egypt.

For millennia, people have been willing to undergo extreme pain and embarrassment to rid themselves of unwanted body hair. And that’s just when waxing goes according to plan. Quite often, things can go very, very wrong while you’re getting a Brazilian. Recently, Redditor u/dreamingofwealth asked professional waxers to share their worst horror stories from inside the salon.

I could give you some examples to set this article up better, but honestly, nothing I make up could be nearly as gnarly as what these folks actually witnessed. So let’s get to it. Fair warning: you probably don’t want to be eating while you read this one.

 

1. Pro tip.

“I’m a hairstylist but an esthetician friend of mine said she kept a small container of Vick’s vaporub in her apron pocket and would smear a bit on her upper lip before doing certain peoples brazillains because of the smell.” – bardbitchesonly

2. Power move.

“A new client came in right after having sex, and leaked all over the bed. And she wanted me to finish the job, so cleaned herself right in front of me, completely nonchalantly! I couldn’t look her in the eyes.” – Playfully_Mandeh

3. Pulling a “President Taft.”

“My waxing lady told me she had a client who tried to do a Brazilian at home… the client did a small bit then changed her mind , she hopped in a hot bath to “wash off” the wax and got stuck in the tub. The client then called to flatmates who couldn’t pull her out. Her flat mates then called the ambulance who called the fire service who cut part of the bath out then the ambulance took her to hospital where they removed the bath piece and wax with solvents! Welp! Can you imagine?” – mariawest

4. This story is above the belt, but still awful.

“I was a hairstylist and we really only ever did facial waxing and offered to clients as an upsell. A regular client of mine was traumatised by a proir waxing experience (with a stylist that was not my self years prior) and declined. Well, the stylist went to wax her brows and dropped a giant clump or of wax on her lashes! Then proceeded to take a long time to remove the wax (I think like an hour) with only water and no oil residue remover that would have made the wax side off instantly.” – Webbigaillafey

5. At least they didn’t have to make small talk?

“A waxer once told me that she had ‘accidentally’ waxed a girls tampon straight out of her. The string must have got caught in the wax. Neither of them said anything for the next 30 mins.” – MSG080

6. The worst episode of Grey’s Anatomy ever.

“Not me, but this happened to a friend of mine. She and her girlfriend decided to get Brazilian waxes together. It was her first Brazilian wax, so she had no frame of reference for how much it was supposed to hurt. First strip, okay, few more, fine, then one more pull and MEGA PAIN. The waxer looked terrified, but then just smiled and just quickly made gestures for her to get dressed and come out front to pay (this happened in South Korea). When she got home, she inspected the area, and the waxer had actually ripped her labia. She had to immediately go to hospital to get stitches to have it repaired. All my friend did was go back to the salon with her hospital bill and demand that they pay it and call the matter settled, which they did.” – helenmaryskata

7. This one’s kinda sweet?

“A favorite of mine was the girl who came in for a Brazilian and was shaking from nervousness before we even started. I’ll spare you the details but it took over an hour to finish the service (usually takes 15-30 minutes, 45 is the MOST it should EVER take) and at some point she had a full on anxiety attack. I was being as gentle as I could considering I was ripping hair out of her body and after every pull she sat up, cried loudly, and then dropped back onto the bed. She got off the bed still half naked and started pacing back and forth loudly sobbing and hyperventilating. I was trying my best to keep her calm but honestly, it was all in her head. Getting your hair ripped out always hurts but her hair SHOULD HAVE been an easy service, she let herself panic and the fear got to her. After she left I sat in the break room, took a deeeep breath in….and starting sobbing lol. I was so glad to be done with it. She was sweet otherwise, no smell, easy hair to work with, but God that was the most stressful service of my life. She actually came back a few more times after that and we finished in 20 minutes, no more incidents.” – WTFIsntTakenYet

8. Forgetting something?

“I asked this very question to someone who was waxing me. Their worst is normally hygiene related, like a woman who’d clearly had sex at some point just before the appointment and hadn’t cleaned out properly.” – wetfish-db

9. Next time, call a professional.

“I don’t do it for a living, but I wax myself during swimsuit season. I had forgotten to put baby powder down and accidentally put too much wax on my bikini line. I decided to pull it off anyway. It took a few fabric strips and I ended up having to pull extremely hard. I broke some capillaries and ended up bruising extremely bad. Hurt like a bitch to wear underwear for a week…” – Tibbersbear

10. The seafood special.

“Not a waxer, but an eyelash technician. One time I had a client come in with crabs in her eyelashes which was obviously the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Frequently people come in for fills and haven’t bothered to clean their eyes for 3 weeks thinking it will make the extensions stay on longer resulting in a nice layer of yellow crusties all along the lash line.” – cwestwoodh

11. Why there should be mandatory showers before any waxing.

“A lady would ask for a Brazilian wax, which includes the ass crack. She already had strong body odour and when my teacher waxed the ass crack, the wax strip was caked in sh*t. She just about threw up on the client.” – stefaniey

12. There’s a first and last time for everything.

“So I didnt know my skin was insanely sensitive. I went in got the whole kit and kaboodle. Brazilian the lady even did the inside of my ass cheeks a bit. Welllll turns out I’m more sensitive than I thought I was, and the severe itching and enormous rash that followed was catastrophic. I was so itchy, and so miserable. I got it done because I had an Indiana dunes trip coming up and my boyfriend said “thatd be so hot”.

It was not hot. I was wrecked. I did not enjoy the dunes. It felt like someone rubbed poison ivy all over my vag and ass and inner thighs. No matter how much aloe vera cocoa butter and ointments I costed it with it was a nightmare for like a week before I started seeing results. So the week was spent with horrible tossing and turning sleep followed by me waking trying to itch it. Going to the bathroom sucked, hot showers sucked cold showers sucked everything about It sucked. One of the 100 creams I used gave me a uti. It was a nightmare inside a nightmare. Oi.”

13. Take it easy! I make my living with these genitals.

“I was a hairstylist before becoming an esthetician full time and I had to do a man’s brazilian. I’m about 90% sure he did porn or lewd modelling or something bc of his body and how exact and picky he was. He requested me to apply wax directly, pull it tight, and rip it off. Then he asked me to sit there, and tweeze any hairs I missed. I don’t wax below the neck anymore.” – llethallan

14. Horror movie..

“Two or three layers of skin came off with the hair, it was on a guys genitals and there was a lot of blood and yelling.” – Muppouni

15. An early frontrunner for this year’s Darwin Awards.

“This was waxing myself, not others, but once I tripped while carrying a hot jar of wax. I was naked as I was about to wax myself and just got a new sofa. In the split second of tripping for some mystifying reason I decided that instead of letting the wax get on the new sofa I’d put my body under the spillage. I ended up with scalding hot wax stuck to my stomach area. It burned me and as I have a pretty deep belly button, took a while to cool. I couldn’t move in this period as I didn’t want to spill the wax more.

When it had cooled I had to spend 2 hours slowly detaching the wax from my burned skin and tiny stomach hairs that it had welded to. I was half laughing at my stupidity and half crying at the pain. My mum called during and couldn’t stop laughing at me.” – katyvs1

The post Awkward Notes Teachers Sent Home to Parents appeared first on UberFacts.

Two things about parenting that are absolutely true – you will do every single thing you judged parents for doing before you were one, and your kid will go through a minimum of one phase when they will refuse to eat anything except macaroni and cheese (or grilled cheese or plain noodles or chicken nuggets) and you will not care.

This woman has one child who is not yet eating solids so, bless her heart, she hasn’t realized both of the universal truths yet.

But don’t worry, because the Internet moms were there to educate her – with gentle humor and for her own good.

It’s okay to laugh at someone when you know for sure you’ll be laughing with them in a few months.
