privacy

We're technically all strong, independent adult females, and therefore shouldn't dread the idea of going to our gyno. Our health is super important, and we shouldn't neglect it just because we feel uncomfortable. However, the reality is that many women get anxious before going to their gyno appointments, either because they're anticipating pain or just general awkwardness with exposing their bodies. Whether they're poking light fun at gyno appointments or seriously afraid of it, the women of Twitter get what we all inevitably have to go through at the gyno. Scroll down and laugh in solidarity with us. 

When it comes to privacy, we all know cats are pretty much known for having absolutely no boundaries. We've seen cats who would even climb into their owner's underpants while they take care of their business on the toilet. 

Yup. Cats and privacy don't go hand in hand. And the sooner you accept this, the sooner you'll be able to live semi-peacefully as you spend time in the bathroom. Cats not respecting boundaries isn't too bad though, it actually provides promising entertainment. Plus, to see those cute furry faces is never unpleasant! 

One Imgur user is no stranger to the whole 'cats, no privacy' situation, as they shared a series of images of it is like tiring to take a bath with two concerned and curious cats by your side. 

If you have funny stories such as this of your own pet, share them with us on our new Facebook community group, 'ICanHas Storytime,' a place where our users finally get to tell their stories! 

As much as you'd like to hide your shame, hoarded collections of doorknobs and evidences of your eccentric hobbies, sometimes someone else will have to enter your weird home. A plumber, pet sitter or maintenance employee is gonna need to get in there. And they see some really interesting things. Sometimes they don't even need to make it inside. Window washers see some bizarre things through the glass.

Talia Shadwell, shared a viral story on Twitter that spotlights just how little online privacy people have. Specifically, this shows how big tech companies keep a much closer eye on people using their apps than some people might expect. Scary stuff indeed. 

With all the stuff we've heard of and experienced with helicopter parents in the last few decades, it's refreshing to see someone actually stand up to their mom who's trying to control their social life while not under their roof. Hell, dude, it's college. You don't want to experience college life while your mom watches.

Author, Kate O'Neill used her platform on Twitter to encourage people participating in online activities like the recent, trending profile picture aging meme on Facebook, to slow down and think about it critically. O'Neill asks people to consider how willingly posting that information online for Facebook's seemingly sentient algorithm to digest, can have a ripple effect on society as a whole; how that information can be fed into worldwide databases, sold off to advertising agencies, and used to exploit the very people that upload it, without considering the impacts, in the process. She doesn't aim to inspire panic in this Twitter thread, but instead, she wants us to think critically when considering the fast-changing landscape of the world around us. Some solid advice! 

What is it with cats and their intense need to watch their owners while they're on the toilet? It's not like we're rushing over to watch them use the litter box! A little privacy, please! When Twitter user @milkygoddess shared a hilarious (and completely relatable) meme, many users decided to share pics of their cats taking a sneak peak of them in the bathroom! 

One day someone asks if you mind being in a couple pictures, then the next day you find yourself in an ad for extra-small condoms. The stock photo game can be a weird one, and these people found out the hard way.

Sometimes we get pretty complacent about the data we share with our "friends" on the internet. We get sucked into this share culture and forget to check ourselves. This Twitter thread from Dylan Curran is an incredible (and incredibly educational) reminder that we need to watch our internet backs.

It's bad enough to get your things stolen, but it bumps up the creep factor to find out you could've been literally inches away from a scary stranger the whole time. This is is some Shawshank Redemption level crime right here. If you're in the mood for more creepy things people found in their dwellings, you can read them here.

Relationship moments that made it abundantly clear that it was time to nope on out.
