People Reveal The Most Embarrassing Things They Have Been Doing Wrong This Whole Time
Sometimes even the best of us can do some of the most basic things embarrassingly wrong. Whether its because we never learned how to do them or because we just never paid attention, we may do normal everyday things in a way that makes others laugh. Keep scrolling to see some of the most hilarious things that people just did not understand. You may just end up learning one or two new pieces of information yourself.
Several
Several is one of those words that are pretty ambiguous. The first part of the word ‘sev-‘ is very similar to the word seven, which is why this person thought that several and seven are actually precisely the same.
It wasn’t until someone corrected them when they said they had several of a certain item that they realized their error. Several can actually mean many and does not specify a number. We can see why they would think this, though.
Pancake Day
For anyone who has been to IHOP, which is the acronym for the International House Of Pancakes, then you know how magical this place is. The smell of freshly made pancakes and maple syrup wafts through the room, which is guaranteed to get any stomach rumbling.
This Reddit user thought that IHOP was simply the name of the infamous restaurant chain. They never clued into the fact that the International House of Pancakes and IHOP were the same thing. They actually thought that the full name of the restaurant was a special Pancake Day celebration. Now, they can enjoy their pancakes and celebrate at the same time.
A New Name
Jennifer Lopez, J. Lo, and Jenny from the block are just a few of the names that the actress and singer have gone through over the last couple of decades. One Redditor grew up listening to all of Lopez’s music, and could not help but come up with their own nickname for the superstar.
They truly believed that Lopez’s real name was Jenny Ferlopez. If you say the name to yourself, it does sound like it could be her name. This poor kid must have only heard Lopez’s name mentioned in heavily accented English to believe that this was her name.
A Funny Taste
Kettles are one of those things most people have in their kitchens. There are the ones you fill up through the spout and then bring to a boil on the stovetop, and there are the electric ones. The electric ones have to be the more comfortable variety to use, or so you would think.
This Reddit user admitted that they thought all kettles were filled through the spout, including electric ones. To make it even worse, they didn’t realize they needed to look inside the kettle to make sure there were no papers, like a manual. For weeks they enjoyed boiled water with the essence of a manual.
