Someone on AskReddit asked for firefighters to share their experiences with the dumbest people they've ever crossed paths with. The resulting stories are on fire with max levels of stupid. 

You don't want to be that "loser" who's still bragging about how great they were on the high school football team. Or really what it gets down to, is just bragging in general. Let those achievements speak for themselves. That search for approval is a lost cause. When it really gets down to it, nobody really cares. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share things they're aware of that people wrongfully think are scams, but actually are nothing of the sort. Those crazy things like the dentist and sites that require you to enter your credit card information before you can purchase their legitimate products, are actually just around to help you. The paranoid suspicions are fair in a world that can feel like it's just trying to pull one over on you, too often. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for married men to divulge some of the dumb stunts they pulled during their dating phases with their future wives. It's amazing what people can get away with when love is in the equation. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for police officers to share the laws they feel uncomfortable about enforcing, because they don't necessarily agree with them. We've got responses like, how they don't particularly want to bust people out having a good time on the river, as long as they're not being total inconsiderate animals. As well as, angelic cops who literally carry nickels on them to feed the meters to avoid writing tickets. Wherever that is happening sounds like a hell of a place. 

What is normal in one person's family can appear as pure lunacy to the outside world. These people are sharing their family's weirdest tics. The resulting stories are hilarious and borderline messed up. 

Someone on AskReddit asked people about the times they caught themselves in the middle of a day's work, and genuinely couldn't believe that they got paid to do what they did, for "work." Some jobs are more surreal and enjoyable than others. Some jobs literally make you forget that you're working. These examples might make you all kinds of envious. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for lawyers to share why various couples called off their divorces. Sometimes unexpected curveballs are so big that a couple's original plan to call it quits, is stopped in its tracks, and the love once gone, is reignited with more passion than before. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for wedding shop workers to share their worst bridezilla stories. The resulting snapshots of bridezillas having general emotional implosions really do an effective job at showing off the worst parts about weddings--the unanticipated bridezilla or groomzilla. And sometimes, it isn't even the bride who's going full-fledged public freakout, entitled lunatic. Sometimes, it's actually the mother of the bride, or another family member. 

Someone on AskReddit, asked lawyers to disclose the worst ways they've seen people screwed over in court. The replies are filled to the brim with people just getting absolutely decimated by the system. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share good psychological tricks that work successfully for them. Whether it's pretending that an event you're nervous for already happened and went well (positive visualization), or asking people for small favors to trigger the "Benjamin Franklin effect." Try out enough of these, and you might get a leg up in the world. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share what the last straws were for them at work before they rage quit their jobs. The resulting insights are filled to the brim with frustration and people just plain old getting to the end of their tolerance for BS. On a totally different note, you could strike gold, and end up like this guy who got hired, was never told what to do, and managed to stay on for months. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share those strange things that their bodies do that aren't quite right, but don't necessarily warrant a visit to the doctor's office. The resulting insights might do an effective job at reassuring you that our bodies are actually just bizarre machines that come with their own series of weird glitches; but aren't life-threatening. 

Someone on AskReddit asked guys to share their experiences with sexual harassment. From getting dry humped in gym class by a bunch of self-proclaimed "straight bullies", to creepy cashiers purposely knocking stuff over for "the view"....these are just hard to stomach. Why do people have to be such monstrous perverts. 

Nothing feels quite like pouring your blood, sweat and tears into buying a piece of junk 2005 civic just to watch some kid get a brand new BMW from Mommy and Daddy. Rich kid syndrome is real, and it's one of the most maddening things to watch from the outside. For more, here are dumbfounded people sharing their craziest encounters with rich kid syndrome.

In a recent AskReddit thread non-British people are sharing all the things that they find odd about Britain. Things like when British people want to be really mean, they'll just proceed to be very polite to you. Now that's just unnerving. Or, on a more positive note; if a Brit invites you for a drink they very well might be talking about 10 drinks and a kebab.
