What's a common human experience that no one ever discusses for some reason? Something we've all done, but don't talk about. Buzzfeed has put together a list. How many of these things have you experienced?
When you get a call from a weird number and immediately google it.
You're breathing fine until you lie down and one nostril immediately closes up.
One pocket holds your phone. The other holds EVERYTHING else.
When you swallow water in a weird way, and there's that excruciating pain in your chest. Then it goes away.
When you need a specific item at the grocery store, but someone's standing in front of it. So you pretend to shop for something else until they move.
The remote goes missing, and you're convinced someone else is sitting on it, even after they check.
When you think there's a bug on your neck, but it's just the tag on your shirt.
That satisfying feeling when your ear randomly pops, and your hearing increases by 50%.
"what does the washing machine gain by lying about how long the cycle has left, if you need more time just say it!
Bag regret after leaving 36 reusable bags at home and the cashier asks if I need to buy one.
-may I add...not having your wallet or credit card becuase you have been relying on apple pay on your phone and have to run to the car to get it leaving your stuff and causing an issue at the checkout.
Watching someone google something less efficiently than I would...or and this is specific if you go to Subway a lot...watching them make a sandwich and you could do it faster and better.
mom: It starts at 3"
Me in my head: "it starts at 3, but we gotta be there by 2, so we gotta leave the house at 1, so I have to start getting ready around 11, so I have to wake up at 10"

A couple in Utah is thrilled to be reunited with their cat Galena, who mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago. They looked all over for her, and even put up signs in the neighborhood.
Didn't run away, got shipped to Amazon!
Galena loves hiding in boxes, and she was inside a box of work boots that was later packed up . . . dropped off . . . and returned to Amazon.
The cat was in the box for SIX DAYS without food and water before being discovered by an Amazon employee named Brandy, who immediately started caring for the cat. She took her to the vet, who scanned her microchip.

It's actually impressive that Americans are divided about EVERYTHING including silly stuff like whether or not to wash new clothes before wearing them.
In a new reddit poll, people were asked if they wash newly-bought clothes before wearing them, and 51% of people said nope. The other 49% said yes.
Some people also EXPLAINED their answers;
1. "Yes. You don't know how many people have handled it."
2. "No. I should, but it's all down-hill after that first wash, they're never the same."
3. "Yes, if they're bought in-store. No, if they're bought online, and come in sealed product packaging."
4. "Yes, but only for undergarments and bathing suits."
5. "Yes, if it's in direct contact with my skin. Otherwise, no."
6. "Yes. I always find new shirts to be itchy if I haven't washed them."
7. "Yes. They have chemicals on them for storage and excess dye that should be washed off."
8. "No. But I let them 'air' for a few days before I start actually wearing it."
9. "No. Your skin is an excellent barrier for [any bad stuff on] the garment."
10. "Yes. I saw it on an episode of 'House' . . . except socks. Nothing stretches over my foot as nicely as a new, never-been-washed sock."Â

Did you know Emma Stone's name isn't really Emma? It's Emily.
When she became an actress she had to change it because there was already an actress named Emily Stone in the Screen Actors Guild.
Emma says a few years ago, she freaked out and said, quote, "I can't do it anymore. Just call me Emily."
She says people she knows call her by her real name. But if fans were to approach her and call her "Emma", she won't correct them.

Jennifer Aniston is producing a remake of "9 to 5". It's actually being called a "reimagining." No word if Jennifer will also star in it.
The film is still in the early stages of development, with Diablo Cody writing the script. She's the one behind "Juno", "Jennifer's Body", and most recently, "Lisa Frankenstein".
If you've never seen the 1980 original, it stars Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin as office workers getting revenge on their sexist boss, played by Dabney Coleman.
There was talk in 2018 about the original cast doing a sequel, but Jane said in 2019 that the idea got dropped.
There was also a "9 to 5" TV series that ran for five seasons from 1982 to 1988. It starred Rita Moreno and Dolly's younger sister Rachel Dennison.
