Rules are in place for a reason. That's what administrators will tell you. But sometimes rules are created that end up antagonizing everybody. When I was in high school, there was an inordinate amount of fighting. It was commonplace to witness at least one or two student fights per day. Not a lunch period went by without a scuffle. The school responded to this by implementing two rules. One was a zero tolerance policy, so if your bully hit you, the two of you would both get suspended, even if y…

Money isn't everything… no, I take that back, it is everything. Money is perhaps 80% of life. People who already have money absolutely love to tell you that “Money isn't everything.” If you're a lonesome lawyer working 90 hours per week who never sees their family, like in a Hallmark movie, than I guess that makes sense. But for most of us, who do have loving family and friends and a moral compass, having an injection of cash would make life a whole lot easier! When you have money, you can get…

Every generation commits a few fashion faux pas that will be remembered fondly decades later. Maybe you were in the generation that couldn't get enough of massive hairstyles full of gels and aerosol hair spray . Maybe you were around for the days of velour jumpsuits, or the baggy oversized clothing trend. Even the youth of today cannot escape their own weird fashion moments. With the popularity of emojis, clothes covered in emojis are somewhat popular (and that did get hated on in the comments!…

Not everyone is an A+ student. And even some A+ students have moments of profound stupidity! These people overheard some ridiculous statements, and roughly 18,600 people weighed in with their own stories . It seems like a lot of people don't know basic animal facts . That's wild to me, because children's books are obsessed with making kids learn letters, numbers, and animals! How do you grow up to be an adult and not realize that pigs have teeth? I know some parents don't read to their kids, bu…

Your years of career expertise are no match for someone who watched three YouTube videos on the subject. Learning is a lifelong endeavor for some people. They always want to read up on new ideas and form new opinions based off what they're reading or watching at the moment. Sometimes, people think they're so educated on a topic that they know better than a person in that profession. From lawyers to healthcare professionals to software engineers , these professionals have all met ordinary folks…

Browse the web at your own risk; lest you be attacked by a sea of anonymous piranhas who are obviously leading such miserable lives that the only comfort they can find is being rude to strangers over the internet, hiding mysteriously behind a screen, donning a Reddit avatar. You think Karen customers are bad? Try those infuriatingly self-righteous people who are pro-cancel culture. It's well known that cancel culture is vicious; god forbid you don't agree with social norms. Free speech who? Fre…

Enter at your own risk

Some people's brains are hardwired to be a tiny bit stranger than most, and before you say 'well everyone is entitled to their own opinion', I absolutely agree, the two don't necessarily contradict one another. Along with the right to free speech comes the right to judge . And if you're looking for opinions, simply look up 'Reddit', or more specifically, r/unpopularopinions. There you will find brave souls who take an anonymous stand. If you take things personally, you might not want to pay thi…

One person wrote, “Please, ban telemarketing,” in this thread of irritating legal things people hope will be illegal soon.

“Peanut butter goes on chili dogs,” wrote one commenter in reply to this controversial question: What's your unpopular food opinion?

There's billions of people in this world, and they can't all be geniuses. Some don't even have a drop of common sense . You're going to meet many people from all different walks of life and varying educational backgrounds, but sometimes people just say stunning things. Prompted by a famous quote from George Carlin , people shared their stories of the times they realized they were much smarter than the person they were chatting with. These people aren't your average run-of-the-mill dum dums. No,…
