And we all heave a collective sigh

When you propose to someone, it's a pretty big deal. There are some people who have dreamed their whole lives of having the perfect proposal in the perfect location with the perfect ring with the perfect person, and other people who could care less how they are proposed to, as long as it's with the right person. No matter what kind of proposal you hope to have, no one wants to be asked when they're not ready. So that's why if you're the one about to propose, you better make sure your fiance is…

If you're still hoarding an iPhone box from 2015, this is a PSA: Throw it away already! One man's trash may be another man's treasure, but future generations are going to have a mountain of ACTUAL trash to sift through.

Has anyone had one of those horrendous “did I just say that out loud" realizations? If you haven't, you must be some sort of genius because the rest of us common folk have likely felt foolish and unintelligent in public settings countless times.

Sure, people's various passions, interests, and worldviews make them unique individuals, but sometimes it's your specific pet peeves that make you truly stand out. For instance, there are a lot of people in this world who are interested in science fiction movies, but not a lot of people in this world who are annoyed to no end by the breathing patterns of their nearest coworkers. We all would like to think that it's the positive aspects of our personalities that make us special, but we should be…

Without physical and social cues, dating can get lost in translation really quickly. When written incorrectly, a joke can get easily misinterpreted, sarcasm can remain unclear, and the potentiality for a first date can go down the drain in an instant. This is the reality of how most relationships begin in this day and age. It's sort of like how actors and performers discuss the differences between auditioning and working on a play or film. Mastering the art of auditioning is its own craft, sepa…

Some of these may sound gross, but always try it before you judge it! Someone had to have taken a risk in order for us to socially accept some already bizarre food combinations in our culture: pineapple and pizza, fruit and chocolate, milk and cookies. At one point in time, all of those food combinations were considered taboo and weird. In fact, if you ask some people (like me), pineapple and pizza are still pretty disgusting together. That being said, enough people enjoy the mix of these two v…

Everyone has a thing or two that gets under their skin . For a surprising amount of people, that thing is “breathing.” So many people left thoughtful and interesting replies to our Facebook post asking, “What's something other people do that you find really cringy?” And many people replied that “breathing” and “eating” really bothered them. I understand---some people just breathe kind of loudly or in a whistly manner, and they're not usually aware of that. They're not even doing anything wrong!…

Kids and teens can't help but have a few embarrassing moments . Okay, maybe more than a few. As a kid, you're able to let loose and say and do pretty much whatever you want. Children usually know not to say bad words or talk back to adults. But there are a lot of nuances they don't understand, and a world of knowledge that they haven't had time to learn from. That's probably why it's so much fun to be around little kids while they're letting off steam, bouncing off the walls and babbling about…

This waitress wanted to share a story about a family interaction at her job, but commenters took the customers' side! The OP has a few memorably cringe lines. If a waiter ever handed me water and in the same breath told me about how it had “came out of the dinosaurs years ago. [It's] just filtered super well," I'd hesitate to eat there. What a weird thing to say about a fresh beverage! Perhaps one of the worst ways to make water sound appetizing is to remind the customer of how water filtration…

We all have at least one moment in our lives that makes us shrivel up with embarrassment (and if we're being honest with ourselves, there's definitely more than one cringey mistake we look back on). I used to be way more embarrassed when I made mistakes, but the older I get, the more mistakes I make. I'm getting used to it, I suppose. If you let you of your need to be perfect and impress all your friends, you have a little less cringe to look back on at night wondering, “Why did I ever say that…

School picture day photographers have us in stitches with these tales of the strangest and cringiest things they've ever encountered. Because as you can imagine, photographing hundreds of students at a time could easily be hilarious. High school is a time for experimenting with your personality and identity. Some kids dye their hair pink or blue, or get lots of piercings, or embrace being goth for a while. You're young, and you don't know who you are or who you're going to be. Even through thos…

What's posted on the internet stays there forever, so be warned! The internet is always evolving. Trends and styles come and go, and since lots of us post every single day, there are bound to be a few things you'll regret typing out to your Facebook audience. These people below totally understand — their posts are cringy because they're relatable in some instances. After you check out these wildly cringey pictures below, check out these stories of coworkers that were impossible to work with .

Cringe-fest

Oh moms. We love ‘em and we are annoyed by our own… They do so much for us and they truly are super heroes for the family. But seriously, what is with their rants on Facebook?? The classic Boomer mom rant where she airs out all her dirty laundry in a lengthy Facebook status, but also congrats her nephew for graduating and thanks her husband for the Christmas gift. Like, if you’re a mom out there that likes to rant for everyone to see on Facebook, please, tell us what is going through your minds…

Some people are allergic to doing the right thing.
