When you do something embarrassing, who's the first person you tell? A new poll on minor "mishaps" found our significant other is the most likely to hear about it first. Then it's a family member or friend.
The average person has 84 minor mishaps a year, according to the survey. That's one every four or five days and 87% say they're usually unavoidable.
People were asked to rank the top ones they've experienced.Texting the wrong person got the most votes. Here are a few more of the most common everyday mishaps . . .
1. Saying hi to someone you thought you knew, but it was a total stranger.
2. Getting on the wrong train or bus.
3. Laundry mistakes, like shrinking stuff or turning it a different color.
4. Your phone going off in a place where it should have been on silent.
5. Trying to unlock your car, and then realizing it's NOT your car.
6. Forgetting to cancel a subscription you never use, so it renews again.
7. Being a no-show for something, because you forgot you made plans.
8. Sitting on the remote and changing the channel with your butt.
9. Accidentally blasting music because your headphones weren't paired.
10. Following your GPS, then realizing you punched in the wrong destination.

What's your go-to snack when you're on a big road trip? A new poll looked into it and found most of us give ourselves a free pass to eat WHATEVER WE WANT when we're on the road.
The most popular options are mostly junk food, which isn't surprising. But a few healthier options did make the list.
The top road-trip snacks are:
chips
chocolate
cookies
nuts or seeds
candy
fruit
granola bars.
Here are a few more road-trip stats . . .
Our favorite things about a road trip are the snacks, the conversations, and the stops along the way. The average person says that ideally, they'd like to stop for more snacks every three hours or so.
44% think it's unacceptable to say "no eating in the car" on a road trip. Close to two-thirds of those people say if that was the case, they just wouldn't go.
The #1 road-trip rule that must be enforced is everyone has to use the bathroom before you leave.
Other popular rules include:
You must wear deodorant, but no cologne or perfume
the person riding shotgun has to help navigate
the driver should be in charge of the radio.
38% of us would rather drive somewhere than fly. 35% said flying is best. 18% think trains are the best option.

Useless Fact of the Day - A study found rattlesnakes don't get as stressed if they've got a friend nearby. Meaning another rattlesnake. But the study found even putting a big rope next to them can do it too.
