People Share Their Best “Rock Bottom” Meals That Will Make You Howl

There’s no use in beating around the bush: a lot of us are sick and tired of cooking and we’ve been getting desperate when it comes to our culinary styles during the pandemic and the quarantine.

So that means there have been millions and millions of folks worldwide who have basically hit rock bottom when it comes to cooking.

And can you really blame them?

It gets really old not being able to eat out at a restaurant. And then you open your barely-stocked cupboards and you find yourself staring into the abyss. And THEN you just get desperate and throw together any old thing that will satisfy your hunger for a few minutes…it’s a vicious cycle.

Are you ready to read about some rock bottom meals that folks have admitted to? Let’s take a look.

1. Almost hit all the major food groups.

Nice work!

2. Perfectly acceptable.

Just keep telling yourself that…

3. This is intense.

I salute you, sir!

4. Fending for ourselves.

Doesn’t sound delicious, not gonna lie.

5. Don’t regret it all the way.

But at least recognize the problem.

6. This sounds absolutely disgusting.

But you’re living your own life. That’s what’s important.

7. We need to talk.

Stale Pringles? This is sad…

8. Hitting rock bottom over here.

You can only go up from here!

9. Yes…yes it does.

You need to snap out of it!

10. It could be worse.

But this was not a good life decision.

Okay, it’s confession time…

Tell us your worst quarantine meal that you’ve made.

Do it in the comments!

13 People Admit the Legal Substances They’re Addicted To

I have this debate with older people a lot, but they are just absolutely horrified that marijuana is now legal in so many states across the country.

But ci**rettes and al**hol? Hey, those are no big deal at all!

And yes, as you all know, those are perfectly legal if you’re of age.

It’s just kind of funny how the stigma of things being legal or illegal influences the opinions of people out there.

People on AskReddit admitted what legal substances they’re addicted to.

Let’s take a look.

1. Still calling to you.

“Potato chips. Salt and vinegar especially.

I can eat entire family bags of them in a sitting. I’ve been making serious efforts to cut that out lately, I’ve been chip free for almost a week.

And yet the crisps call to me…”

2. Good stuff.

“La Croix.

Specifically passion fruit and coconut flavors.

I go through about 3-4 12 packs a week.

This s**t is expensive too.”

3. Might be overdoing it.

“Diet Coke.

Hands down.

It’s a problem.

Or maybe it’s not.

Brb, getting some Diet Coke.”

4. Your babies.

“PLANTS. I talk to mine every single day and want to always grow more and more and more and more of them. My plants aren’t even mine!

Most are my friend’s. Him and his bf are gonna come get them when it gets warm but actually I might fight them now cause they’ve become my babies.”

5. Hello, old friend.

“Flaming Hot Cheetoss ? .

They’re terrible I know, but I’ve been eating them longer than I’ve known most my friends.”

6. Mary Jane.

“Marijuana.

Yes, I have been using more than I should.

Yes, you can abuse it.

No, it is not good for you in these quantities.

No, it is not easy to kick the habit.”

7. I love them!

“Cheez Its.

I used to go over to my best friend’s home growing up and eat all their Cheez Its.

Every year for my birthday, Christmas, and any big event in my life, her parents would buy me a box.”

8. Do the Dew.

“Mountain Dew.

No, I’m not addicted to the sugar. Or the caffeine. I have tried substitutes. If I don’t have a Mountain Dew for about 48 hours, I will get MEAN.

I’ve lost a lot of weight and kept it off for like 6 or 7 years. One of my friends told me I’d probably lose another 5 or 10 pounds if I could stop Mountain Dew.”

9. Rare, but delicious.

“Lilikoi flavored Hi-Chews. You can only get them at this one chain of stores in Hawaii.

Luckily for me, as someone who lives in CA, my girlfriend’s sister lives in Honolulu and sends me boxes of them a few times a year. They’re heavenly. Kicks the s**t out of a Starburst.

Honorable mention to Sour Mambas. I really like fruity, chewy candy.”

10. Doesn’t sound very pleasant.

“Red pepper flakes. Every time I eat pizza, I have to sprinkle a lot, knowing full well it will burn coming out.

The sensation is like I’m trying to s**t out the sun.”

11. A lot of people are like this.

“Video games. Sometimes it feels as if it’s as destructive as hard drugs. I’ll stop for weeks at a time but can never quit completely.

When I binge it feels like I’m wasting away my life and falling into a self destructive hole.”

12. A tough one.

“Nicotine.

I actually quit ci**rettes for a few months (was hell first few weeks) then suddenly bought a pack few days ago when was feeling really off, finished it then promised not to get back to it.

Aday later got news of a cousin passing away, so here I am sitting with my brand new pack. If you don’t smoke, dont start.”

13. Time for rehab?

“Trader Joe’s Peanut butter filled pretzels.

Two bags a week, would be more but I have to limit how many I buy.”

Okay, it’s confession time.

What legal substances are you addicted to?

These Folks All Decided to Post Pics of Their Dumb Tattoos

I went to the beach last summer for a week of R&R (rest and relaxation, not rock n’ roll), and I gotta tell ya, there are awful tattoos ALL OVER THE PLACE.

And not just on young folks. I’m talking about middle-aged people and even some senior citizens in the mix.

Hey, tattoos are acceptable nowadays. It used to be that you’d really only see them on military vets, bikers, rock n’ rollers…and ex-convicts.

And that also means that there are tons of DUMB tattoos out there.

Let’s take a look at some that definitely fall into that category.

1. This is the video that got it all kicked off.

People Talked About Their “I Told You So” Moments That Still Make Them Laugh

You can’t always prove someone wrong, but when you do, it’s a good feeling.

Especially if that person is a real jerk who needs to be put in their place.

And we’re about to sink our teeth into some good stories like that right now.

Folks on AskReddit shared their “I told you so” moments.

Enjoy!

1. Here’s a piece of my mind.

“My newborn baby was projectile vomiting after every feeding. I took her to the doctor several times, always ended up being sent away with suggestions to try a different formula.

I tried like 4 different ones, no change. The 4th or 5th visit, they sent me away again with the same recommendation even though I pleaded with them to figure out what was wrong with my baby. I left the office and drove to the ER instead. She ended up having emergency surgery that day.

The surgeon said she would have starved to death (or maybe dehydrated?) had she gone much longer without the surgery. I gave the doctors in that office a piece of my mind.”

2. Thief!

“Lawyer here.

Fired a partner who I found some real irregularities in their spending habits vs. what they were making after he couldn’t provide a good answer to where it came from.

Other partner left and started a new firm with them because they disagreed with my decision and refused to look at the evidence.

Turns out he stole 500k of a clients money, got disbarred, and is now facing prison time. I told her to look at the evidence and she didn’t listen. “

3. Don’t go that way.

“My sister and I were out sledding when we were kids at this place with a really steep hill. I had unknowingly gone down a sled path that had a jump in it, and when I landed it really hurt my back. So when I got back up to the top of the hill I told my sister “don’t go that way, the jump really hurts”.

She called me a baby and didn’t believe me that it really hurt so she decided she would go down that path on her sled. Well, she hit the jump and didn’t get back up, turns out she fell so hard she had broken her leg. When we finally got her back up the hill and to the car, I got to tell her “I told you so”.”

4. Time to get chewed out.

“I work at a US Navy shipyard.

My worst “I told you so” moment was when a submarine had multiple issues with sanitation/collection tanks and the piping that led from the showers and toilets to the sanitation/collection tanks. Documented and pointed out the same problems over a 12 week period. Supervisors and the tank area manager didn’t give a d**n and pointedly ignored my reports.

Undocking day was approaching and the Captain of the sub wanted the boat out on time. So they moved up the tank closure schedule. So tank closing protocol requires several signoffs: one from a qualified civilian inspector, one from a qualified Navy Hull Technician sailor, and one from a qualified Navy Engineering officer.

That tank in question failed all three concurrent inspections. Undocking got pushed back by 30 days until all problems found were corrected.

Daily operations estimated costs were north of $10,000/day. Factor in the mandatory overtime and rework required and we were looking at maybe triple the daily cost. This is just people’s pay, I didn’t get to see the material cost overrun but I know for a fact that a lot of the materials got shipped in or fabricated in-house overnight.

Needless to say, a lot of people on General Schedule pay got chewed out by the then-Shipyard CO in private.”

5. Scandalous.

“My best friend started dating my ex wife (ten years after the divorce and he checked if id take issue even though he didnt need to) anyway when we divorced it was because she was cheating on me while I was in Afghanistan.

He goes out of state for work and told me she started acting off not answering calls quick to hang up starting fights when hes home or going to parties rather than spend time with him.

I pointed out this is what she did to me almost exactly and stated that if he confronts her on her s**t she will probably with out provocation accuse him of cheating and more to the point most likely because she is actively cheating cue thirty minute monologue of how shes grown up and shes not that person now shes just used to not having to answer to others or having a real relationship in year.

Three hour later he calls because he went to pick up some weed and there she is bl**ing the seller.”

6. Don’t touch that!

“Was picking beans with my sister and mom. To this day I still don’t know why the fence was electric but it was. I touched it and I got zapped.

It wasn’t too bad but it hurt. I jumped away and my sister saw me, I said that it was an electric fence. Of course she just thought I was pranking her. I was trying to tell her the whole time we picked beans but she didn’t believe me.

Right at the end she touched the fence and she didn’t see it coming at all… Her face was just like, “Oh shi-”

Loved the car ride home, “I told you… Idiot.””

7. Gotta get it checked out.

“Had a weirdly dark freckle. The color of chocolate.

I showed spouse and he called me a hypochondriac and if I go to a doctor, I’d be wasting their time.

I went to the dermatologist. It was melanoma.”

8. Take that, Mom!

“Since I was 14, my throat got itchy when I ate apples.

I told my mom but she thought I just didn’t want to eat apples and forced me to eat them.

Went to the doctor’s office and got a test for allergies. Turns out, I’m allergic to apples, peaches, and many other fruits.”

9. Don’t drink and drive.

“In high school I was at a party where everyone was getting drunk.

I had come with two friends and near the end of the night this one guy there was losing everyone into his van to get late night food. He swore he was not drunk and there were so many people in his car, including the two people I came with, it was not a battle I was going to win.

But it seemed like an obviously dumb situation; bunch of underage kids packed into a van driving around in the suburbs at 1:00 in the morning. I told my friends that this wasn’t a good idea and they need to get out of the van and come back gone with me (my house was within walking distance). They acted like I was a party p**per for a sec but then they got out.

Next day I find out the guy driving ram a red light and got t-boned by a truck. The one kid in the back almost died and everyone got banged up. The friends I pulled out of the van were in the backseat along with him.

Not saying I saved their lives but… I really may have saved their lives.”

10. Just do it!

“I spent months telling my mother to get a dash camera, I even sent her a link to a cheap one on Amazon so she would at bare minimum have something.

Some time later she got a new car and in less than a week she got into an accident (she was fine), but because she couldn’t prove that the other driver was at fault their insurance company would only pay for some of the damage (car was totaled).

The worst part is that she still hasn’t gotten a d**n camera…”

11. Tried to warn you.

“I once owned a dog who was very stubborn and independent. She lived a feral life in the mountains as a young pup, and I feel like that played a role. She felt more like a roommate than a pet.

She was having heart trouble when she got older so she had to get a chest scan at the vet. These two men came out to get her, so I gave them a heads up that she would absolutely dislike being flipped on her back and held there for the scan (flipping a dog on it’s back is putting it in a pretty submissive position).

One of the guys interrupted me and basically said they were professionals and I had to just let them work. They snapped a muzzle on her and took her to the back.

A few seconds pass, then I hear a crash and a few yells. One of the guys who took her comes out and sheepishly asks for my help.

It turns out as soon as they flipped her on her back she kicked out of their arms, unclipped her muzzle, removed it with her front paws, then made a mad dash for freedom.

I caught her roaming around the back of the vet’s office and she was perfectly well behaved while I held her for the scan. I felt bad for two guys she escaped from, but I had tried to warn them.”

Have you ever had an “I told you so” moment?

If so, please share them with us in the comments.

Thanks a lot!

People Discuss Things That Are Awkward but Really Shouldn’t Be

If you ask me, life is pretty awkward.

But that’s part of the fun of being here, too!

You just never know what to expect…or why things turn out to be awkward when they really shouldn’t be…

What’s awkward but really shouldn’t be?

Here’s how folks on AskReddit responded.

1. I just don’t feel like it.

“Saying “no” to a social invitation when your reason is that you just don’t feel like going.”

2. AWKWARD.

“As a guy, working in retail.

Ringing girls bras or underwear out. Like seriously I don’t care, it’s clothing, it doesn’t bother me.

And yet there’s always someone who makes a big deal about it and request they are rung out by a girl rather than me.”

3. Let’s get this over with.

“The period of time between the cashier giving you your change and putting it in your wallet.”

4. End it!

“Saying “Bye” on the phone.

I hate all the wind-down in conversation to just get off the fu**ing phone.

“Okay then…sounds good….you have a great day too…buh bye”

So annoying.”

5. Just having a good convo.

“As a grown man, talking to children is getting increasingly awkward with age.

No, I’m not trying to kidnap your daughter- she’s just way more entertaining than you and all the other big people.”

6. Still uncomfortable for some.

“Buying pads/tampons. Like, come on.

Everyone fu**ing knows women have their periods. Why on earth do I have to feel ashamed when I’m visibly carrying a pad to a public toilet or at the store?

It’s ridiculous.”

7. You’re fine!

“Leaving a grocery store without having bought anything.

My thoughts while walking away:

“I look suspicious, they all think I’m a shop lifter. But a shop lifter would never walk out the store without buying anything. Omg but what if the shoplifter thinks the exact same thing, he would also leave without buying anything. Now I definitely look like a shoplifter. Why am I walking so funny. Yes we’ve made it !!”

I have a problem I think.”

8. No shame in that.

“Telling someone you like them.

It’s a natural desire to be attracted to another human being.

People act like its something to be ashamed of.”

9. How does 50 cents sound?

“Signing for the pizza delivery.

Knowing the pizza boy is watching you sign and waiting for a tip.

There’s always a palpable tension because you know his eyes are trained on that tip line.”

10. Own it!

“The walk of shame.

Everyone should be high fiving you.”

11. Just trying to help.

“Correcting someone in the workplace.

I don’t need to hear any more awkward apologies for doing something wrong. I’m just trying to tell you the right way to do it, end of story.

I’m not trying to make you feel bad.”

12. Who cares?

“Asking someone their age!!!

A friend of mine said ‘this Saturday is my birthday’.

I instinctively said , ‘Oh great, how old will you be?’

And immediately felt my foot entering my mouth as she looked at me like I just pulled out my ding dong in public.

I think this is a really dumb and antiquated thing to get upset about.”

13. You did it!

“Last week I entered a public bathroom at the same time as this other guy, unfortunately we both had to drop off the kids at the pool and there was this unbearable awkward silence.

We both sat there not p**ping for about 5 minutes, trying to avoid the inevitable monstrous fart and tsunami sized splash that happens in those situations.

As a solution (It would only get worse building up all of that pressure), I pulled out my phone, turned on “Bob Marley Radio” on Pandora, turned it all the way up, and told the guy “There you go, this should help” he laughed said thanks, and we proceeded to take the Browns to the Super Bowl.”

What situations do you think are awkward but don’t need to be?

Sound off in the comments!

We look forward to it!

What Things Are Awkward but Really Shouldn’t Be? Here’s What Folks Had to Say.

Why is asking someone who owes you money awkward?

It shouldn’t be, right?

It should be perfectly acceptable to say, “John, I lent you $200 back in 2010 and I’m here to collect. And since I’m such a nice guy, I’m not even charging you any interest!”

But…it’s just awkward for some reason.

AskReddit users shared what they think is awkward but really shouldn’t be.

1. Cringeworthy.

“Listening to people sing you Happy Birthday…”

2. Back away slowly.

“Leaving someone’s yard sale without buying anything…and you were the only one there.”

3. Get it together!

“Asking my roommate to do basic household chores.

General clean up, dishes, don’t put out a grease fire with water.”

4. Here we go again.

“When you say bye to someone, then inexplicably run into them again a few minutes later.

I find it awkwardest in the grocery store because after you say goodbye you are most likely to meet in every single aisle until the checkout.

Cue awkward smiles every 5 minutes.”

5. Now it’s a race.

“Walking the same speed as someone else.”

6. This is weird.

“When you arrange a meet up with someone and you spot each other from far away.

Then have to walk towards each other not really sure if you should just stare at them or just ignore them until you get within greeting range.”

7. Thank you so much!

“Opening presents in front of someone.

Pretending you are not disappointed when there’s no money in the card.”

8. Let’s just get this over with.

“Trying to park while the person next to you is getting into/out of their vehicle.

Or when you and the car next to you both need to back out…

So you wait for them to start, but they take forever, so you take the right of way at the exact moment they decide to start going.”

9. Right?

“Asking someone for the money they owe you.”

10. Now what do I do?

“Receiving a compliment.

Are you supposed to return the favor, just say thank you and move on, downplay it to appear modest, etc…?”

11. Doh!

“Accidentally touching your friend’s hand while walking together.”

12. Isn’t this your job?

“Calling to make an appointment.

The people on the other end of the phone always seem confused or flustered.

Like they’re being bothered. Maybe I just get bad doctor offices.”

13. What are we doing here?

“That situation where you don’t know whether you should hug a girl or shake her hand.

What the f**k is the protocol here?!”

14. Being judged.

“Meeting your SO’s family for the first time.

As long as you treat your SO well, things should go fine right?

But there they are…watching…judging…”

What situations do you think are awkward but really shouldn’t be?

Tell us what you think in the comments.

Thanks a lot!

People Share the Self-Diagnosis They Gave Themselves That Was Completely Wrong

A friend of mine constantly thinks he’s sick (and that the world is ending) and so he gets onto WebMD constantly to try to figure out what’s wrong with him.

And guess what? He’s wrong about 99.9999% of the time!

Who would’ve guessed? A guy that doesn’t have any medical training was way off base?

Have you ever given yourself a self-diagnosis that turned out to be totally wrong?

These AskReddit users have and they shared their stories. Let’s check them out.

1. Here’s a surprise.

“I thought I had food poisoning for a month.

Eliminated everything possible from my diet and started probiotics to reset my digestion.

Nothing helped.

Turns out it was a late-life pregnancy.

We’d thought we were past that point. Surprise!”

2. Not brain leakage.

“I had a migraine for six weeks straight.

My mom was sending me articles to convince me I had some sort of brain leakage.

It turns out the migraine was caused by my birth control.”

3. I forgot.

“I get extremely itchy on my belly and groin area.

I always think it’s because I did a bad job rinsing soap off after taking a bath.

It’s because of the oral steroids I take for my allergies.

This has happened FOUR TIMES in the last five years, and I forget EVERY TIME.”

4. Lay off the booze.

“I was for sure positive that I had Crohns Disease.

Literally almost every symptom applied to me.

Nothing. Not a thing was found in either my colonoscopy or upper GI endoscopy.

Yeah. It turns out that I just drink too much.”

5. Panic.

“I went to the hospital 3 different times because I thought I was having a heart attack.

Turns out they were panic attacks each time.

I have meds now to prevent panic attacks.

One doctor was annoyed which I found funny.

Dude, I thought I was dying.

One of those trips involved a volunteer fire department and an ambulance ride because I was camping far from any hospital.”

6. Whoa.

“I thought I was finally having a mental breakdown, turns out Benadryl just makes me have manic episodes.

Not sure why since it should make me sleep instead of pace up and down the hall for 6 hours.”

7. Overreacted.

“When we were going through an airport I noticed a small red rash behind my brother’s ear.

It looked like a spider bite or a mild reaction to something.

My brother, a massive hypochondriac, immediately convinced himself he had both meningitis and brain cancer.

Insisted we see a doctor as soon as we land.

By the time we’d landed the rash had cleared up.

Not the only time he’s done something like that.”

8. Good thing you figured it out.

“When I was a kid I had a little twitch in my eyes and I thought it was Tourette’s (probably because of that one South Park episode).

Turns out I had epilepsy and they were mini seizures.”

9. A scary one.

“When I was 15, my chest started hurting whenever I ate. A lot. For like a week.

So we went down to the local clinic and suggested that I might have acid reflux. They took my word for it instantly and put me on prilosec, didn’t even question that I might not know what I’m talking about.

A week later I was in the emergency room. Dangerously malnourished, so dehydrated my p**s was almost brown, and with chest pains so bad I could barely even LOOK at food. Pancreatitis. Autoimmune pancreatitis.

My immune system was eating away at my pancreas. Not acid reflux.”

10. Lyme disease.

“Had a bout where for around a month I would spike a fever for a few days with sever lethargy which would eventually fade, only to resurge after i started feeling better.

I eventually made the connection that it resurfaced every time I ate red meat (burgers are my weakness). Decided it was a red meat allergy.

Lyme disease. It was actually Lyme disease.”

11. An easy fix.

“I thought I had strep throat, but it was an allergy to a new toothpaste.

The white I saw covering the back of my throat was, upon closer inspection, tons of canker sores / mouth ulcers.

Went to my dentist who confirmed and advised me to change toothpastes.”

12. Scary.

“I was nauseous and vomiting all the time at work and home and just about everywhere else.

I thought I was in liver failure, the first two doctors I saw dismissed me, said it was the flu (can the flu last 6 months?)

The third doctor I went to was skeptical but I demanded a full blood panel, turns out I was wrong, it wasn’t liver failure it was kidney failure.

The doctor was stunned and extremely apologetic.

I totally needed a kidney transplant and it saved my life.”

13. Weird!

“I thought I had psoriasis because I would get these horrid rashes and flaky skin on my stomach.

Kept putting it off because it would just randomly go away sometimes.

Finally went to a dermatologist and turned out that I’m allergic to nickel and she showed me that my belts were causing the irritation with the nickel belt buckles.

So now I buy rubber or plastic belt buckles, the only other options are real silver or gold belt buckles, which seems excessive.”

Okay, now we want to hear from you.

People Admit What Naturally Occurring Bodily Function Bothers Them the Most

We obviously have a lot of naturally occurring bodily functions, but are there some that really bother you?

Whether if it’s from you or other people?

I guess the answer is yes, based on what you’re about to read…

People on AskReddit talked about which naturally occurring bodily functions really bother them.

Let’s get weird!

1. That’s too bad.

“Fight-or-flight.

I have PTSD stemming from childhood trauma so even my roommate stepping heavily on the floor triggers anxiety and hyper-awaredness.”

2. Sounds like thunder.

“My tummy making sounds like I haven’t eaten for 5 years.”

3. It’s burning!

“Runny noses.

That s**t sucks and when you’re sick enough it starts to burn.”

4. Awful.

“Acid reflux.

Nothing like waking up with intense chest pains and a mouth full of stomach acid throw up.”

5. Sucks

“F**k periods and PMS. Good lord what a hassle!

You have to buy special things (pads, tampons, IB profen) and you feel like dog s**t the days immediately preceding and during.

You have to make sure to have a pad or tampon every time you go to the bathroom and it sucks if you forget.

And God forbid any tampon/pad dispensary is actually stocked in a bathroom!”

6. Fat.

“The body storing excess energy in fat cells….that kind of thing needs a cap.

Like, up to 15% of body weight can be fat, any excess beyond that gets flushed out of the system.”

7. What are you dreaming about?

“As a guy, in my opinion, wet dreams.

They’re so annoying, inconvenient and just straight up unwanted.”

8. It’s time again.

“Growing nails.

Mine grow too fast, I have to cut them every 3 days”

9. Not fun.

“Vomiting.

It’s generally activated to evacuate poisons/irritants from the body but the wind up to and the act of…I am grown and will still cry every time.”

10. Uh oh.

“Getting a huge b**er in public.

Like while having to present in front of class or while being in other public places.”

11. It happens.

“Very rarely I choke on my own saliva and my body goes instantly in fight mode to survive.

Coughing like a maniac, adrenalin rush, and my heart goes crazy.

Out of nowhere. This is ridiculous.”

12. The big one.

“Fa**s.

Especially when you can’t let them go and they build up or these quite ones that mark their presence in other ways.”

13. Why is this happening?

“Yawning!

I dont sleep much so it happens several times a minute, it makes my ears pop and my eyes water so I’m basically crying all day and then my eyes get sore from wiping away all the tears.”

14. Make it go away.

“Body hair. I got hair everywhere. Literally.

Shoulders? Check! Toes? Check! Back? Check! And many more places I don’t want to name.

It might have been useful ages ago but now please just let it go away please.”

What bodily function bothers you the most?

Please and thank you!

People Talk About What They Did Due to Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

I’m assuming that you probably already know this, but I’m gonna go ahead and say it.

FOMO means “fear of missing out”. Hey, we just want to be clear here…

And there’s a lot of FOMO going around, folks!

Hey, you don’t want to miss out on anything, right?!?!

Folks on AskReddit opened up about things they’ve done because of FOMO.

Let’s see what they had to say.

1. One and done.

“Gambling. I lost $70 and had a lot of fun.

Not sure I wanna lose $70 anytime again soon though.”

2. Chain letters.

“About 25 years ago I believed every chain letter that appeared in my inbox, and religiously sent them along to all my contacts.

In my defense, I was a kid, but still, there’s probably a lot of people from that time that have me blocked for this very reason.”

3. Let’s take a trip.

“Going to South Africa.

I was in school (wild park management) with my best friend. Our year got the offer to go to SA with people from other classes but there was only place for 24 people.

I have never been further away from home then a 6 hour drive and SA is a 12 hour flight away. My thought was: If I don’t go now, I will never ever go.

I went, now I want to go back. But dang the the first time in an airport is stressful.”

4. Did you get lucky?

“Prom. Hated it.

Knew I would.

Glad I went anyway.”

5. Don’t do it!

“Vaping.

I have asthma so after about a week of bronchitis type coughing keeping me up at night I decided that even though I enjoyed it, I’d rather not be dead in a month.”

6. Dive right in.

“Swimming in the deep end of the pool. As a teenager I went to a graduation party at a pool.

The deep end was 12 feet. I wound up even jumping in off the diving board. I’m glad I did it!”

7. Clubbin’.

“Some college roommates took me clubbing.

I have an attitude that as long as something isn’t harmful, I need to force myself to try it at least once (because I’m an introvert, and otherwise I just never do s**t). In this case, I ended up absolutely hating it.

Every part of it was awful. Oh well, at least I can say I gave it a shot.”

8. This is cool.

“Became a music producer for film and TV at 41 years old.

Played music with bands growing up. Became high school media arts teacher and got to practice my skills almost daily. Realized I wanted to see see if I was good enough to make something out of it all. Busted my a** learning as much as I could about the business.

Fast forward 15 months- now partnered with 4 libraries from Toronto to California, collaborated with musicians from 3 different continents, written and produced over 100 songs for film and tv.

Kinda cool trajectory for a year and a half.

Fear Of Missing Out can easily be replaced with Someone’s Gonna Do It, Why Not Me?!”

9. That hurts!

“Paintball at my dad’s girlfriend’s son’s birthday party when I was like 13ish.

I did not know what a cup was since I had never done anything that needed one, and the place we were playing at did not provide anything other than a helmet.

A minute into the round someone shot me in the balls.

I hate paintball.”

10. Daredevil.

“Skydiving.

I went on a road trip with a few friends one time. They all wanted to go skydiving, but I did not, mainly because of the money.

Eventually I decided I could afford it and went. It was one of the most fun experiences of my life.”

11. Not into it.

“Oysters.

My sister-in-law and her husband had friends visiting from another country, so they took them along with my mother-in-law and me to Seattle to some foodie restaurant and one of the appetizers they ordered was oysters on the half shell.

When they noticed I wasn’t eating any they asked and I said I’ve never had them but the idea of raw goo wasn’t very appealing.

So after some convincing on their part, my brother-in-law fixed one up for me. Moral of the story, oysters are still not my jam”

12. Baby steps.

“Yesterday I went to the movies by myself because I really wanted to see the new Demon Slayer movie.

It might not sound like much but I have really bad social anxiety so it was a huge step for me and I’m very proud that.”

Okay, now it’s your turn…

Go ahead and admit what you’ve done before due to FOMO.
