25 People Share What Made Them Lose Interest in Someone Instantly

It's hard to just stop being interested in someone you who you like, but sometimes they do all the hard work for you in record time. It's important to remember that people are really good at telegraphing their intentions, whether they wanted to or not. It's a real time saver. Sometimes you're on a date and it's unclear how well it's going. And then your date insists on snapping their fingers to get a waiter's attention just so they can order a whole cake, demand that you pay for it but also not tip, and then throw half the cake in the recycling. And finally, you have a pretty good answer as to how you want this whole thing to go. Thanks for showing everyone what you're like, you miserable cake-recycler.

Unfun Facts to Quote at People Who Are Just Trying to Have a Good Time

The world is a big place and there's a whole lot of stuff going on. The problem with that is most of us are only really able to focus on one thing at a time, so the things we choose to focus on can have a huge impact on our outlook. There are fun and reassuring facts. There are absolutely terrifying facts. There are freaky facts to feel weird about.

The issue with knowing a ton of unsettling facts is that a lot of people really don't want to hear about them. To those of us who take great interest in knowing just how delicate the fabric of our own existence is, we might have a difficult time understanding that other people wouldn't want to know about the precariousness of their own situation. But hey, everyone gets to find out one way or another.

Have a good day, or at least try to.

15 Things That We Were Warned About as Kids That Ended Up Being Overhyped

When you're a kid, everything you experience is just a tiny part of the vast unknown. You have yet to figure out so many things about the seemingly endlessly large world that even trying to think about all of the possibilities out there can make your head spin. Thankfully you have the adults in your life to guide you through this treacherously infinite environment. And you, a wide-eyed child, know that you can take whatever the adults tell you for granted. Why would they ever tell you white lies or lead you astray?

Thankfully, as we get older, we learn this isn't even remotely true. We slowly come to terms with the fact that our parents, teachers, and other mentors have been carefully feeding us little white lies and leading us astray to protect us. 

As it turns out, things like quicksand aren't nearly as threatening as we might have once been led to believe. But while quicksand isn't going to suddenly suck us into the earth as we walk home from school, there are other very real dangers out there that tales like this taught us to be very much aware of.
