Funny Tweets About Parenting Siblings

As someone who grew up in a house with four siblings, I can only imagine the daily hell that we put our parents through, now that I’m older and a little bit wiser.

There were certain days where all five of us kids were fighting, screaming, and threatening to run away. Good times! And I’m sure that my mom and dad were just delighted to be dealing with that kind of BS after working all day to put a roof over our heads and food on the table.

Mom and dad, I apologize and I’m still trying to make it up to you…and yes, I’m still the best child of the bunch.

Funny Dog Memes to Get Your Day Headed in the Right Direction

I heard someone say once that you should never, under any circumstances, ignore your dog or ever treat them badly because WE are the most important things in their lives.

They can’t wait for us to get home when we leave, they light up with excitement every single time they see us, and we should do the same for them!

Because, sadly, they’re not here for very long so we should do everything in our power to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. What I’m trying to say is that it’s all about the love, baby.

So give your pups a squeeze for us and enjoy these great memes!

1. I hope that’s not the case!

I think they’re just giving us kisses.

2. Pick your gift.

They’re sweet AND smart.

3. Really? Right now you have to do this?

Gee, thanks a lot.

4. I support this 100%.

I hope this dog runs for President.

5. You knew that was gonna happen.

I’m jealous!

6. Awwww. Cute.

He still loves it!

7. This is perfect.

That’s really all you need.

8. He sure does.

And we all agree!

9. Not a fan of this thing.

Get rid of it!

10. Call the dog advice hotline if you need to.

They really do great work.

11. You’re not fooling them.

But nice try…

12. Put on that smiley face.

You can vent when work is over.

People Share the Hilarious Things That Were Blurted Out When Children Were Born

For a lot of people, there’s nothing more natural or terrifying than childbirth. Is the baby going to come out alright? Is the mom gonna make it? Will the dad pass out or not?

And when it comes to this Ask Reddit thread… nothing was held back. And I mean… nothing.

Doctors, nurses who deliver babies, what are some strange/funny things people have screamed while giving birth? from AskReddit

From surprise genders to raptor babies to some REALLY inappropriate things… these stories have got it all!

Let’s take a look.

1. Surprises abound!

My dad has told me they thought I was a girl all the way up to birth.

I came out as a c-section and the doctor goes “huh, this ones got extra equipment.”

2. Once you get there…

I am not an obgyn but I was questioning a patient in the ER about some other health problem, she wasn’t carrying at that time. When I got to the part about the gynecological history I asked how many kids did she have and how were they born. She had two kids and were both born with C-section. I should clarify that this was in Spain and the patient was gypsy, now gypsies are not usually well educated and women often marry young and don’t finish school, they also talk weird.

Now, the lady told me she had 2 kids and 2 c-sections and I asked her why she had to deliver by c-section she said because the first kid was a “come coño”.

Well, this can be translated as “p*ssy eater.” This lady was convinced that her first child was going to eat her pussy and had to be taken out before he did.

You can imagine my surprise.

At first I didn’t understand and left the room after the questioning still puzzled. I went and started digging in her file and found out that the c-section had to be done because after she broke water the doctors noticed the amniotic fluid was filled with baby sh*t, usually when a baby shits in-utero, it is a sign that the baby is suffering and has to come out quick, that was why she had a c-section. Now here is why it is funny:

  1. In-utero baby shit is called meconio.
  2. The doctors probably told this lady that she had to get a c-section because the baby comes with meconio
  3. Comes with meconio = “viene con meconio” in spanish.
  4. “Viene con meconio” sounds a lot like “viene comecoño” (p*ssy eater)
  5. Imagine being told your whole life that your mom had to get a c-section because you were going to eat her p*ssy when you actually almost died at childbirth.

I know it must not be that funny in English but I did my best translating it and hope some of you see how funny it was for me.

3. Well, that happened!

One lady was too posh to swear when in pain from contractions, she just said “jeepers creepers.”

4. Haha… can you imagine??

When I was born, my dad didn’t know that babies are usually born face down.

And as I was coming out he screams “OH MY GOD SHE DOESN’T HAVE A FACE.”

5. Let’s go higher!

I was high on meds at the time, I was begging for BBQ ribs in between contractions.

“C’mon, honey! The nurses will never know!”

They were standing right there.

6. Oh snap… that’s hilarious

Apparently, when my aunt was giving birth, she was all jokes.

Very angry jokes, but jokes none-the-less.

KNOCK-KNOCK! WHO’S THERE?! THE BABY! NOT YET!

7. Dino baby!

Not a doctor, but a father.

When my first child was born his head was kind of misshapen, and when the doctor lifted him up to show my wife she yelled “why the f*ck does he look like a raptor?”

I lost it.

8. Perfect timing

EMT who did a birth on the side of the road.

Woman shouted “f*ck me!” during a contraction and the husband casually replied “that’s how we got into this mess, dammit!”.

I had a very hard time containing myself.

9. Nope! Time to go!

Patient fully dilated, started pushing, then changed her mind. “I don’t wanna do this, I’m going the f*ck home.”

And then tried to get off the table.

10. Haha… gurl…

When my sister was in labor, she was screaming and our mom was trying to be comforting:

“It’ll be OK. Take some deep breaths. It’ll be over soon.”

Then my sister looks up at our mom and says “You have no idea what this is like.”

11. It’s not a tumor!

Paramedic here: Delivered a baby for a lady who did not realize she was pregnant and called us for ‘abdominal pain’

Patient: ‘You are an idiot! I am not f*cking pregnant’

Me: ‘Well, I can see a head crowning’

Patient: That must be a f*cking tumor!

The tumor was a healthy baby girl. Mom was totally sweet afterwards btw.

12. Bad timing…

My roommate and I just finished our labor and delivery rotation in July.

During one of the births she was helping out in, the mom and the dad were separated but still good friends. So while this woman is pushing out her baby she begins to half tell/half scream that my roommate should date her ex/the baby daddy. The conversation went something like this:

Mom: You should really….(screams in pain)….go out with….(Screams again) him sometime. He’s really fun.

Dad: I wouldn’t mind some drinks sometime, what are you doing this evening?

No, she did not go out with him.

13. Is that even possible?

I’m white, Irish ancestry so I had red hair when I was a child, and my wife is black.

Her sister was also in the delivery room. When the baby crowned her sister told her she could see the baby’s hair. My wife who can barely breathe blurted out, “The hair isn’t red is it?!”

Apparently she was terrified the baby would be black with red hair.

14. She’ll never live that down

My mothers labour was extremely short, I was born within an hour. So that means that she went from experiencing minimal pain, to extreme pain with little time to adjust.

When my dad was driving her to the hospital, he unfortunately had to stop for gas. He went into pay, and just then an elderly man in a wheelchair stopped him, asking him to buy cigarettes for him as the store was not wheelchair accessible.

My mom then proceeded to lean out the window, yelling “DON’T HELP THE CRIPPLE.”

We have never let her forget that one.

15. Get the tongs!

When my brother was born, they had to use forceps to get him out.

My mom saw them and screamed “THOSE ARE SALAD TONGS! YOU ARE NOT PUTTING ANY GODD*MN KITCHENWARE IN THERE!”

I am seriously crying laughing. The things people say at their most vulnerable are comedic gold, right?

Do you have a story as crazy/silly as this? Let us know in the comments!

Postal Workers Share the Things We Can Do That Would Really Help Them Out

With all the stuff that’s currently going on with the US postal service, it’s a wonder that anybody is a mail carrier at all. But, thankfully, we have a bunch of brave folks who continue to soldier on regardless of the circumstances so we can get our much needed mail.

That’s why one person on Reddit asked this question:

Postal Workers of Reddit: What do you need right now? How can we brighten your day when we see you on our routes? from AskReddit

Personally, I LOVE that this question exists because we really could do a lot more for our folks in light blue… and it doesn’t take a lot of work.

Let’s find out more…

1. It’s not hard

Husband delivers mail and he loves just about anything people do.

From pictures drawn from kids along the route to thank you letters to cold water and ding dongs.

He is appreciative of it all!!

2. That’s cool! Literally!

You could buy them a battery powered mini fan that clips to something in their truck. Some wear water vests to keep cool.

Yes, postal employees can accept gifts up to $20

Here’s the policy: https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2012/pb22349/html/cover_025.htm

3. Cooling down seems to be a trend…

Former carrier here.

Had one house that always left me a bottle of ice cold water.

Highlight of that route!

4. Basic. Human. Kindness.

My father has been a postal worker for decades.

What makes him smile the most is when people just reach out and be nice and friendly. He would always tell us stories about the people who would put a smile on his face.

Notes/cards go a long way. But also just say hi and ask them how their day is going.

5. Make their jobs easier.

Former mail carrier here, #1 get a bigger mail box lol.

Water and treats are nice, but a box they don’t have to get out at to deliver things is the gift that keeps on giving.

6. Games!

Cold drinks and maybe a bag of chips or something. I’m a current carrier and seeing that stuff can completely brighten our day. Also just saying hi, or leaving a note saying thank you.

I have a customer who plays tic tac toe with me. That’s pretty fun.

Honesty anything helps and please be friendly and understanding if something is late or missing. As of right now a lot of this stuff is out of our control. It’s coming straight down from up top and there isn’t a lot we can do about it ourselves.

7. The bigger the box…

I also agree that a big mailbox is an amazing option especially if you order a lot of small packages, but don’t feel like you have to replace your mailbox.

If something happens to your box or you’re looking for a new one, consider getting a larger box.

8. Pants pls!

Carrier here!

All I ask is for the love of God PLEASE WEAR PANTS WHEN ANSWERING THE DOOR!… I’ve had straight up naked dudes sign for there package without batting a eye…oh the stories of awkwardness I could tell you guys.

Oh also smiles and friendliness is appreciated ? ..but with clothes on…

9. Help them help you

Put numbers on your damn mailbox/house. Send cards/legit letters to people. Tear down your POS lockbox that nothing fits into and get an actual mailbox.

Say hello but don’t hold me up for a half-hour bc I don’t have time to lose. Buy stamps. If you see the mailman struggling with your giant ass refrigerator box, help, don’t just watch from your porch.

And for the LOVE OF GOD, STOP ASKING IF ITS HOT ENOUGH FOR ME OUT HERE.

10. Control those pups!

Okay… I know the whole joke about “ahhh dogs hate mailmans dogs go brrrrrr”

But please do keep your dogs inside… it scares the mail ?

11. Wow! That’s so nice!

I’m a big Jimmie Johnson fan the Nascar driver, today I opened a box and there was a signed Jimmie Johnson hat with a note saying it was for me.

That has brightened my whole week, but water or Gatorade, snacks always appreciated. However I would recommend writing a note saying it’s for the mailman as a lot of times items are left in a box and we are unsure.

One Christmas I totally thought a gift was for me and it wasn’t. ?

12. It’s the little things!

I’m a carrier and I can tell you the cutest thing I see with the men in my office is the pure joy on their face when they reveal all the drinks/snacks they were given on their routes.

They are so excited to take their treasures home to show the family. They even take pictures and post them on Facebook.

As for me I love being squirted with a hose. A garden hose that is!

13. Yum!

My dad and his dad were rural carriers.

My dad’s favorite treat he received was peanut brittle made by different ladies on his route. If we were lucky he would bring it home to us! When I was little I would ride with him and get to meet tons of folks on his route. And yes, he loved the really big mail boxes.

Back then there was no UPS – he delivered everything, including live chicks. Oh, stories to tell.

14. Legit advice!

Yoooooooo Let me chime in, Postal worker here!

STOP YELLING AT ME WHEN I CAN NOT FIND YOUR PACKAGE!!!! We get mail from UPS AND Fedex and sometimes it’s already comes all fu*ked up or they lost it…but we are last to touch it, then customers hate us for thinking we damaged the package or lost it.

MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR ADDRESS CORRECTLY ALONG WITH APT # (if you live in an apartment) Many many times we get packages and they don’t have an apartment number, and you know how big apartment complexes can get, so how do you expect us to find where it goes ?? Just so you guys know when it does not have an apartment number it’s get returned to sender.

Also that sh*t where it takes photos of the letters your suppose to get and it sends a pic to you, we don’t even know where the picture is taken it could be from the originating city/country, countless times people come pick up there mail and they say “where’s this letter ?!” Then proceed to show me the picture like they think I’m keeping their dam mail, it usually comes a day or so later.

STOP TRYING TO SCAM US Looking at you people who sell sh*t on eBay, we know you paid for postage for 5 lbs when In reality it weighs 30 lbs, you cheap asses !

BE PATIENT!!! many times customers come in bitching that “ooooh my package should have been delivered already” so I track that sh*t and it still has not even left the city it’s coming from just cause it says ARRIVAL AT UNIT does not means it’s out for delivery ? “Mam your package has not even left Philadelphia!”

There’s probably more but this is all I could think about right now. Any questions lemme know.

15. They’re thinking about you…

When the quarantine was just getting started, a few of my customers left me a note in their mailbox.

Just a friendly thanks and reminder that I am appreciated being out there during these hard times, making sure people get their mail and packages.

I’d say this small kindness would be much appreciated again with all of this political nonsense interfering with my career. ✌?

So, it seems like they want a little bit of kindness, a lot of cold water, and maybe some bigger mailboxes.

Got all that? Think you can help out?

Let us know what you do for our postal workers in the comments OR… what you will do going forward!

Thx fam!

People Share Really Bad Things They’ve Heard Teachers Say in Front of Classes

When you were in school, was there ever an incident where a teacher lost their cool and said some pretty scandalous things in front of a class?

Or maybe they just said something totally inappropriate in front of students for another reason?

It really does happen all the time! And we’re about to hear a whole bunch of stories about this kind of stuff!

Let’s see what folks on AskReddit had to say about bad things they heard teachers say in front of classes.

1. Oh my…

“College history professor called me a mongrel after finding out I’m mixed race.

The class laughed awkwardly with me.”

2. Don’t be lazy!

“Class mate explained he couldn’t get through the 20-page assignment in time due to his dyslexia, Old-timey teacher says ” there’s no such thing, you’re just lazy”.

Only about 6 or 7 years ago, too.”

3. I hope they got fired.

“Looked at a mentally handicapped girl and muttered “retard” just loud enough for a few people at the front to hear.”

4. Psycho.

“I had a teacher when I was 13/14 years old that said to a girl of the class she was going to end up prostituting. In front of the whole class.

Same teacher said to an other girl that she was going to end up working at McDonald’s if she kept having bad grades.

Same teacher told the whole class our parents were “ungrateful to the pedagogic team that takes care of their children” because she didn’t receive any chocolates for Christmas.”

5. Jeez…

“A teacher once got fired because at the end of a workshop class she asked all the black students in the class to stand up, told them that they would be staying behind to clean the workshop after class and then dismissed all the white students.”

6. Harsh.

“At the start of class our teacher just sat in silence for five minutes, we waited for him to begin. He then said “you have just wasted five minutes of your life. You will never get that time back”

A bit harsh on a class of nine year olds.”

7. Oops!

“Assembly in front of the whole school (ages 3 and up).

Let it slip that Santa isn’t real.”

8. What are you doing here?

“I don’t know why there are so many girls in this class. You’re supposed to be married and have children already”

–11th grade advanced physics teacher.”

9. Brutal.

“I was 13. 7th grade. My homeroom teacher was Mr. Baker.

I lived in a neighborhood a few blocks away from a park and I was finally old enough to get to walk there myself. I was overweight and I had started walking there almost every day.

I would walk the track for hours and then walk back home. It was a positive for me and would have probably led to healthier choices down the line. One day during free period he called out my name. In front of my entire homeroom, kids I’d known my whole life plus a few new people, he told me that he had seen me walking down the road.

Laughing now, he said that he to wait ten minutes for me to move out of the way because I was blocking half the road. Most of the class laughed with him. I had to sit there, holding everything in until the bell rang. Then I went to the bathroom and sobbed. I never walked to the park again. I was afraid to leave my house for a really long time.

That sh*t was so uncool and f*cked me up for a long time. People really suck for absolutely no reason and it’s just a thing we have to accept and I hate it.”

10. Blow up.

“I had a religion teacher in high school named Mr. Nguyen, who was working on becoming a Jesuit priest, and was a really cool guy. He always had a smile on his face and did his best to make class a fun experience for everyone.

There was a kid in my class who was a really annoying smart *ss, but Mr. Nguyen was always really patient with him, until one day he pushed him too far. I forgot exactly what the kid said, but it definitely crossed the line.

Mr. Nguyen slammed his fists on his desk and shouted, “Why can’t you EVER shut the fu*k up!” He then picked up his stapler and chucked it at the kid, missing his head by a few inches and leaving a huge dent in the wall and then stormed out into the hallway.

I had never seen a teacher blow up like that and I definitely never expected it from him.”

11. It’s a deal!

“Alcoholic English teacher in 9th grade: if you buy me a Johnnie Walker black, you are guaranteed to pass the class.”

12. Over the line.

“Had a fairly new teacher. She’d been with is a few months and it was her first year teaching.

There was a dude who was acting up in class. Teacher wound up yelling at him “(Name)! Would you just shut the f*ck up!?”

Felt so bad for that teacher. She legit started crying and apologizing. She was convinced she was going to get fired. The dude she yelled at was well known as being a clown.

He actually went to the admins and told them he 100% deserved it and it wasn’t her fault at all. Everything turned out fine.”

13. An honest mistake.

“In front of a class of 13 year olds a female teacher asked a student to go ask a Male teacher if he had any floppy d*cks.

She meant floppy discs.”

14. This is awful.

“Man old teachers can be the worst.

We had an old German substitute teacher at my high school. Like so old it looked like he could collapse at any given time. He told us about how he used to be a Nazi back in WWII. I guess this is also the time to mention that my school was predominantly white.

We had maybe 20 black students total. The sub had asked one of these students to bring him a stapler or something like that, which the student the brought him. His response, which got him fired immediately, was something like “Wow I didn’t expect one of your kind to be helpful. A lot of you people are like monkeys.”

Pretty sure the only reason that student didn’t punch him in the face is because the teacher would’ve crumbled.”

Now it’s your turn!

In the comments, tell us about the worst things you’ve ever heard a teacher say in front of a classroom.

We look forward to hearing from you!

People Share the Worst Things They’ve Heard Teachers Say in Front of Classes

I feel bad about this now, but I remember that way back in my Freshman year of high school in gym class, we were misbehaving, and a substitute teacher totally lost her sh*t, told us to “f*ck off” and walked out.

Wow! That was quite a moment. Of course, a bunch of 14-year-old boys thought it was pretty funny at the time, but now I realize that she must’ve been going through a hard time…or maybe she just had a terrible temper.

Whatever the case, the point is that sometimes teachers say bad things in front of classes.

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Never had it.

“During English class we were watching Tomorrow When the war began. Those of you who have seen the movie know they start the movie talking about s*x.

The teacher goes, ‘S*x is not that great, I have actually not had s*x’ He’s a full 30 year old man and says that to a bunch of 13-14 year olds.

Those were the days…”

2. That doesn’t sound right.

“Freshman year in high school a classmate called someone a “chode” in gym class.

The gym teacher asked him what that means and the student explained “A chode is a good student”.”

3. What?!?!

““At least half of you will be dead by the time you reach 20 years old”

To a class of 11 year olds…”

4. Imagine this…

“Teacher was using an example to illustrate a concept. He was a very nice, bubbly man, we all liked him.

He points at a random student and says: “For example, Bob, imagine you’re adopted-”

About half the class cringed as they knew what Bob was about to say: “Um, I am adopted”

You could see the gears turning in the poor teachers mind omgohfuck I can’t say sorry because that implies that being adopted is bad, omgohfuck

The silence was palpable as he tried to think of something to say, he eventually just turned to another kid “….are you adopted?” “no” “Ok so, imagine Steven is adopted-” lollll poor guy.”

5. Oh, man…

“The father of a class-mate died in a motorcycle accident, he went into a corner too fast and crashed into a tree.

A couple of days after the accident (which was the first day my class-mate went to school again), our physics teacher decided that it is a good moment to teach the “speed doesn’t kill you, acceleration does”-lesson. With the example of a motorcycle driving into a tree.”

6. Uhhhh. Creepy.

“He told our whole English class quite seriously that for his 30th birthday he wanted two 15 year old girls to sit on his lap, and he even named which ones.

I don’t know what he was telling us for, maybe he thought we would pressure them into doing it or something.”

7. Good aim.

“New year, new teacher and his introduction was: “If you are loud I will hit you with the chalk”.

We all thought it was very funny but the next day we learned what doom was because he never missed.”

8. It’s Daddy.

“I had a professor that had given us an in class assignment.

He was a sh*tty teacher and we were first year students so we didn’t finish it and he told us to take it home and finish it and when we were done to “bring to me. Bring it to daddy.”

He was Greek and didn’t know the context, but he was the head of the department so we all held back our giggles and left.”

9. Rude!

“She read out my name and looks at me and says , “Your parents named you this?””

10. Awful.

“I once had a substitute teacher for my health class and he went on this long rant about how r*pe can be justified.

So many people complained about him.”

11. It’s their fault!

“I had an art teacher that got caught drinking. Apparently someone from the previous period told on her.

The vice principal came into our class and told her to come with him. We all heard her yell “they drove me to drink” from the hallway.”

12. Hahahaha. Wow!

“His name… “Harry Balls”.

No .. really.. he was a substitute teacher who wrote his name on the board and said, ” I will give you 3 minutes to laugh, but then we gotta get to work.”

13. An eye for an eye.

“Worst thing and also best thing. History class.

Kid punches the kid in front of him in the back of the head.

Teacher sees this and says, “now he’s gonna punch you in the head and your all gonna sit there and watch because there’s nothing you can do about it”.”

14. Bad teacher.

“Had an English sub.

He was clearly in a hungover state taking naps on an hourly basis. When he is awake he’s not being a good “teacher” he would cuss openly infront of the class, ask us what we were doing (we didn’t know) and one time he was hitting on some freshman girl loud enough for his flirts to be heard by the whole class.

He was later removed for “unknown” reasons.”

15. A line was crossed.

“”I’ll squeeze your balls, little man!”

It was an all guys high school and the teacher was the headmaster/a catholic brother/teacher. He was saying this as a follow up to a kid acting up and being a wise ass.

He says “oh, you think acting up means you have balls?” Kid says “yeah” amd then he responds to the kid with that gem…

Everyone was weirded out and thought a line got crossed.”

How about you?

What’s the Best Way to Show Someone You Love Them? Here’s What People Said.

Love makes the world go ’round.

The older I get, the more I realize that having loving friends and family members is so important and is worth way more than anything else in this crazy world thƒat we live in.

What’s the best way to show someone you love them?

AskReddit users weighed in on this important question.

1. Show some interest.

“Pay attention to the things that they’re interested in.

Showing interest in things they like goes a long way.”

2. That’s love!

“My husband shovels the driveway right before I come home from work, turns on my coffee while I’m in the bathroom, records my favourite show if I’m not home.

Now THAT is love!”

3. Knowing.

“Knowing when they want you to help and knowing when they want you to just be present.

It sounds really boring and unromantic, but occasionally when someone is really down or stressed, they don’t want you to White Knight their problem for them.

Don’t tell them “here’s what I’d do…” when what they want is empathy and a good listener.”

4. Figure that out and you’ll be good.

“Everyone has a different love language.

The best thing you can do if you truly love someone is to find out what theirs is.”

5. Good stuff.

“Take pleasure in cooking together in the kitchen.

Also, do thoughtful things for no particular reason other than to show true affection.”

6. Here you go.

“Honesty, compassion, and presence.

Be consistent in your support, and understanding with failures. Show them they have intrinsic value. They are not a task, a bank, or a laborer. They are not a dollar bill. Love is days in and tears soaked up on a steady shoulder.

It’s laughter at inside jokes and comfort with habit. Love is sharing yourself with a person and knowing they will do the same.”

7. The small things.

“Do little things. My partner had never been with someone who made an effort.

I make his lunch for work while he’s getting ready to go or I buy him socks when he needs new ones but doesn’t say so.

Small things matter.”

8. Quirky is good.

“Appreciate their little quirks.

They might already feel self-conscious about them, and they hope that the person they love is not going to judge them for it.”

9. That’s nice.

“Buy them food if they can’t afford it and never ask for any money in return.”

10. What are you into?

“Sit down and talk to them about their hobbies.

If they’re into art, ask what kinds. Ask why those artists. Ask about method or preferred medium. If they’re into music, same thing: genres, eras, soloists, etc.

Get involved. Learn about them. And when you feel comfortable enough, try and find something they might like but don’t know yet.”

11. What’s best for them.

“Put what is best for them before what is best for you. That doesn’t mean catering to every whim and enabling selfish behavior, but genuinely prioritizing their needs over your own.

We all would like to think that we would be the “let her go, take me instead” hero in the movie that sacrifices his own life for the one he loves, but are we willing to do that on a small scale, day to day basis?”

12. Every single day.

“Show it to them each day and each moment with your actions. Be considerate of them before you act and keep them in mind at all times.

You will never need to say I love you because you show it to them all the time.”

13. There’s that…

“Telling them is usually a pretty good start. The rest varies.

Some people like me prefer cuddling up to a TV show or something, but others would appreciate getting a small gift or doing a chore for them.

No harm in asking them to see what they like most.”

14. Good advice.

“Remembering their interests or what they say they like in general and planing dates accordingly.

I have quite a good memory (most people actually do if they try), so when I am talking to a girl I like, I remember almost everything she says.

So when I speak to her after some time I mention things they said in quite a lot of detail. Then I always see them light up its very cute. Everbody just likes when you actually care and listen.

So try to pay attention when someone says something thats important to them. Hope this helps.”

Now we’d like to hear from you.

What do YOU think is the best way to show someone you love them?

Mechanics Weigh in on the Good and the Bad When It Comes to Car Companies

I finally sold my old car recently and decided to buy a new one.

It was a pretty interesting process and I asked all kinds of friends and family members their opinions about different makes and models.

I finally made an informed decision and it’s all good. BUT, I do wish that I had some mechanic friends out there, because these guys and gals really know their stuff.

Here is some good car advice from folks on AskReddit that could help you out next time you’re looking for a new car.

1. Mini.

“Import mechanic here. STAY AWAY FROM MINI!!

If someone offers to give you one for free, take it and get $100 scrap price for it!”

2. Suzuki.

“Suzuki belongs in the decent brands. Good value for money, cheap to fix, easy to work on, but not as full featured as others.

My wife had a 2011 swift that did 200,000km with zero issues and we now have a Vitara turbo that has been nothing short of fantastic as well, a few of my friends have had swifts that I’ve worked on/services as well and they can take a flogging.”

3. As easy as that.

“Buy a Honda or Toyota or their luxury counterparts, Acura or Lexus.”

4. No issues.

“When I was deployed to Afghanistan we had this little FOB truck that was a right hand drive Diesel Toyota Hilux that we drove for transporting stuff around the base as it was more practical than an MRAP.

We beat the absolute piss out of that thing. We never serviced it and it drove almost exclusively off road or on dirt roads. Didn’t give us so much as a hiccup.”

5. Here’s the deal.

“Avoid chrysler/dodge/jeep/ram like the plague.

Avoid german cars unless you have lots of $$$

After that it gets a little more open for interpretation and depends on what kind of vehicle you are looking for. That said, you can never go wrong choosing a Toyota.”

6. Silverado.

“I’ve seen three silverados in my family go over 350,000 miles.

We even pulled the engine out of a 77 silverado with 377,000 miles that we had and put it in an 85 blazer we rebuilt from the frame up.

Those engines could take a grenade and keep running.”

7. Good quality.

“The majority of my family is mechanics and they always say “never buy a Dodge!” Two work for an auto parts store and says they’re the ones they get the most calls for, about parts and repairs.

My family has VWs and we all love them. The older ones tend to be built better though, but we find they’re good quality.”

8. Bottom of the barrel.

“Fiat/Chrysler is pretty much the bottom of the barrel, with GM not far behind. These brands can be ok if you are trying to get a performance car such as the Charger SRT Hellcat or the C8 Corvette, however for normal cars they are pretty much the worst

European car brand like Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen are ok, but expensive to buy and VERY expensive to repair.

Toyota, Honda, and Mazda are all usually pretty good.

Ford is ok as well. Less reliable than the Japanese competitors, but generally cheaper to buy.”

9. Just stay away.

“Stay away from Mini Coopers, Land Rovers, and Lotuses.

Those have to be the WORST for reliability and maintenance.

As for good ones to buy, Ford, Volkswagen, Volvo, Chevrolet, and Toyota are some of the best for maintenance, repairs and reliability.”

10. Interesting…

“Mazdas are above average in reliability and are champions of fuel efficient gasoline engines.

I’ve never met anyone who has one who doesn’t like theirs, and most single daily-driver car people I’ve talked to who’ve owned one have permanently
converted to the brand.”

11. Thanks!

“Buy a Honda or Toyota.

Absolutely never touch anything German beyond a luxury lease from new. If you need a truck to do local heavy load work, buy a Ford.

Long haul towing type work, Cummins Dodge with a stick shift. That’s about it.”

12. TOYOTA.

“BUY A  TOYOTA.

My dad was a mechanic for 30 years. Mostly BMW He was an ASE master tech. The dealership he worked for also owned a Toyota dealer.

The year before he retired he got me, my sister, and my mother a heavily discounted Toyota corolla because quote “he never wanted to fix a car again”.

They run forever, have long warranties, and are cheap to fix. Yes they’re boring… But they run forever.”

13. Good points.

“I will preface this with all manufacturers make bad models. There are always lemons and there is always those few cars that make it 500,000 miles because everyone on the assembly line was sober that day. Also, even the best built car can be made unreliable if basic maintenance is ignored.

Import cars like Mercs, Audi, Land Rover, BMW, etc. They are great to drive and are awesome so long as you are leasing them. If they break, it is someone else’s problem and I assure you it generally will be an expensive problem. European cars are a very different school of thought from design to assembly to repair.

Hell, BMW has a few models with alternators that are cooled with engine coolant that is as hot as the engine. The VW beetle requires you to basically pull the front bumper off for an alternator replacement.

The Mini (a rebadged BMW) is 10 gallons of crap in a 5 gallon pail. It is hard to work on, expensive to repair, and completely designed with input from Satan himself.

For US, as much as they can be called US, domestic brands to definitely avoid in my book is Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler. The parent company has been bought and sold more than a prostitute. I think Fiat owns them this week.

The QC is lacking and automatic transmission issues abound (The RAM trucks come to mind), electrical issues(generally body control modules), and engine longevity have been and continue to remain an issue. The reliability that they may have had in the 90’s and early 2000’s is a distant memory.

Chevy isn’t doing so great and neither is Ford. Everyone’s stuff is getting more difficult to work on and requiring more and more special tools and software.

Nissans have been going downhill but the CVT transmission is problematic.

Subaru is kind of in between like/dislike for me. The boxer engine is nice but overhauling it can be a bit cramped. The good news it that they made it relatively easy to remove/install.

If you want to look at reliable manufacturers I would argue for Japanese and Korean vehicles. Kia is getting good, though sometimes the replacement parts cost can be a bit expensive. Hyundai has gotten much better. Toyota is pretty solid although the initial cost is higher. Honda is pretty solid too.”

14. FYI.

“Worked at a dealership for 10 years, only cars I ever seen with 400,000+ miles were mid 90s Honda civics, seen a GMC diesel truck with like 379,000 miles one time, and everyone in shop was amazed at that, but everything else was max 250,000 or so.”

How about you?

Do you have any good advice you can give us about cars?

If so, please share it with us in the comments. Thanks!

People Share the Weirdest Facts They Know…For Some Reason

All of us know a lot of random stuff.

And it covers all kinds of random topics. I personally think it’s a good thing to know a little about a lot and with that comes from weird facts that get stuck in our brains for one reason or another.

Are you ready to learn about some interesting facts?

Let’s get weird with folks on AskReddit!

1. Time to get grossed out.

“Lice are the human equivalent of fleas, but unlike other species, humans have different types that are exclusive to different parts of the body- head lice, body lice and pubic lice.”

2. Take that!

“America dropped extra large condoms labeled small into Soviet territory to make the Russians feel bad.”

3. Taste test.

“A male giraffe will taste the urine of a female to know if she’s fertile.”

4. I need a pair of these.

“Necropants are a pair of pants made from the skin of a dead man, which are believed in Icelandic witchcraft to be capable of producing an endless supply of money.”

5. That’s wild.

“Squirrels need to fall 4800 miles to die because it gives them long enough to starve.

This is because they can survive their terminal velocity.”

6. It worked out.

“During a long FBI undercover sting operation to uncover corruption in the Cleveland PD, the FBI used a T-Shirt factory as a front for an illegal gambling operation, not only did they turn a profit with the T-shirt company but there are a few companies and bars walking around with T-shirts made by the FBI, including the Cleveland PD’s softball team.”

7. Size matters.

“In ancient Rome, having a large p*nis resulted in being ridiculed. It was thought the bigger the p*nis, the dumber and more brutish you were.

In other words, I would have been the smartest man in Rome.”

8. Well, that’s just adorable.

“Otters hold hands while they sleep so they don’t float away.”

9. State fish.

“The Hawaiian state fish is called a “humuhumunukunukuapuaa”.

I tried to date a Hawaiian girl in high school. It’s amazing the stuff you can remember when you’re a horny 17 year old.”

10. I’m a fan of this.

“The E in Chuck E. Cheese stands for “Entertainment”, making his full name Charles Entertainment Cheese.”

11. Defend the hive.

“Bees can vibrate their bodies super fast which produces a lot heat.

In order for a hive to defend themselves from intruders like wasps they will dog pile the wasp while vibrating and it will eventually cook the wasp alive.”

12. Save it for later.

“Otters have a small pocket underneath their armpits where they like to hide their favorite rocks.”

13. Think they were ready for a kid?

“The youngest parents in the world had a combined age of 17.

8 year old boy 9 year old girl

1910, China.”

14. No!

“About 1 cup of ground apple seeds contains enough cyanide to kill a human. Smoothie anyone?”

15. On the hunt.

“Killer whales and dolphins can learn to communicate with one another and form hunting parties together.”

16. Don’t go in the water.

“The release of the film JAWS had such an impact upon people’s view of the ocean that the professional association of diving instructors PADI reported that their numbers had dropped by somewhere around 60%.”

17. A dairy lover.

“Fidel Castro loved dairy so much that he invested in trying to breed a cow that could survive in the climate of Cuba and still produce a lot of milk.

He failed over and over for years until one day a cow that was exactly to his specifications. She produced obscene, record breaking amounts of milk even for a regular cow and could live in Cuba’s sweltering climate.

There were regular updates on her health in the Cuban national newspaper and he loved her so much that when she died he erected a huge marble statue of her in her honor.”

Now it’s your time to shine!
