What can we say? Kids are dumb. Growing up, everyone had that kid at school who tried to get away with as much BS as possible. Sometimes a kid tried to convince everyone else he had a pet dinosaur, or that his dad was a secret agent. And since we were all kids and no one knew better, sometimes we'd go on believing these idiotic lies for days before that same kid's dad picked him up from school in his catering truck. Lying to kids seems to be a big part of the human experience, hence these adults who are still salty about the unjust lies they were told as kids. Some people are just dumb and try lying to their healthcare professionals. And some people still try to lie online just for fake internet points.

Part of childhood is just being a weird and stupid kid and learning how the rules of life work. But for a while there, you get to do some pretty strange stuff and adults just think that it's fine. Here are things kids do all the time that could get you sent to jail as an adult.
There are two things that make us wish we could go back in time, straight to the 90s. The first one is the general annoyance of adult life and all the complete BS you have to deal with in the working world. The second is sweet, sweet 90s nostalgia. And an added third I guess would be that we could bet on Super Bowl winners.
Man, remember the old days? Having to wait a whole week for a new episode of your favorite show. Having to rewind a movie after finishing it. Paying money for music. Wait, why did we even like the old days? Huge inconveniences aside, everyone pines for a simpler time that will never happen again. We've got the memories though. For the older folks here's some 70s and 80s nostalgia. And for those who want to live their best 90s life, we've got 90s life hacks.
Every scar has a story behind it. Luckily for us, people often get injured while doing stupid things, and stories of human error make for good comedy eventually. Honestly, there are so many stories from people who injure themselves in a stupid way. Whether it's from jamming your hands into a toaster oven or getting surprised by a bee, there's no end to stories behind people's scars.
When you're young enough your parents are just your parents, and it seems like they can do no wrong. And since you don't know anything, you're gonna miss obvious signs that your folks are up to some unsavory business. It's not until you get older and look at them as people that you have a chance to realize they may not have been on the right side of the law. Here are some free legal tips from a funny lawyer that shouldn't need saying.
Let's cut to the chase, kids are dumbas hell. We see it in them, and we even see it in ourselves when we were younger. We all have a memory of some time we accidentally followed a stranger around the store thinking it was a parent, or used to think poop was stored in butt cheeks, etc. Anyway, children do stupid things, and it feels good to know you're an adult who has made somewhat of an improvement since your own childhood.
Time again to chase that nostalgia dragon's tail. Sometimes 90s nostalgia gets so much press that people overlook the older days, when toys were made of hard plastic, metal, and weren't fun. No matter who you are, you've probably had some experience with these relics of a time you'll never see again.
Parenting is difficult. Parents often don't know what they're doing, so they have to figure it out on the fly. We've all had that moment when your parents find out that you've learned a new swear word, and have to deal with the fallout. Some parents will make you put soap in your mouth. Others will send you to your room. Sometimes they just start swearing too, and that's pretty cool. Often parents try to get creative with their punishments. Some are incredibly effective. Some aren't. Other ones are super creepy and cause lasting psychological damage. Anyway, here are weird punishments.
It's a pretty well known fact that, well, kids are stupid creatures. Kids aren't necessarily good at anything, so when they get a chance to brag, they take it. Even if it's the smallest thing you wouldn't think of as a real achievement, they'll let you know about it. Here are some strange flexes people saw in their own kids as well as themselves as children.
Turns out you weren't as slick as you thought when you were growing up. Adults aren't that stupid, and they know when their kids are keeping secrets from them. Honestly, it's kind of terrifying to think about what your own parents must have known about you that you thought you were getting away with.
Even though the days of disconnecting your home phone and taking 20 minutes to log onto the internet so you could download one single mislabelled Evanescence track are over, it still feels like those were the good old days. Well, at least when you get older you can drink. For more, here are nostalgic images to trigger your longing (or hatred) for the the old days.
Some of these are petty indulgences, some of them are downright unfair and screwed up. Either way, it's somewhat cathartic to read. This Askreddit thread asked people what they were still mad about and many people had unresolved gripes from their childhood, others had more recent injustices. For more grievances, here's some infuriated people who are still salty AF.
