I’m going to try not to judge these people, because we’ve all been there, right? We’ve all had those brain-fart moments when language doesn’t exactly make sense, or times when we took something far more literally than it was intended.

I know I have.

That said, I’m not sure I would be as happy sharing my stories on Reddit as these 31 people seem to be – good for their confidence, though!

31. Stunts like this are why people become parents.

Classic sibling move.

29. A fair assessment.

This really should have been worded better.

They’re good for a laugh, if nothing else.

I wonder if petting grass feels as good as petting pets.

The rest of us are just going to have to move along.

They missed the “be creative” part of the instructions.
