Turns out some of these are actually pretty relatable. And it's almost sad that we feel like we can't safely do stupid things like wear light-up shoes without feeling the ire of the public. Even if you did half of the things on this list, you probably wouldn't be as embarrassed as these people.

    Text - 2012 29.1k points 19 hours ago Make friends the way I did in kindergarten. "Hey I like you earrings, want to be be friends?" "Sure" "Cool come to my house for a sleepover tonight!

    Text - Diablo165 8.8k points 20 hours ago edited Compliment more people. There's this unfortunate thing that happens where if I pay someone a compliment, they think I'm hitting on them. Like, "Nah, lady...I like your dress, not you."

    Text - 18 hours ago FrOstyBiscuits 3.4k points A couple of weeks ago I stopped in Wal- mart after I got off work at like midnight. Go over to the electronics section and while I'm browsing I hear someone say "Hey." I look over and this girl says "Wanna see something cool?" I walk over, and she holds up one of those little hamster balls, and it has a hedgehog sleeping in it. She brought a hedgehog to wal-mart That sounds cringey, but it made me so happy to see that.
