10 Things People Use That Don't Really Work

I just do not understand these things, but I use them all anyway.

Here is a list of ten things that are commonly used but have serious flaws.

1) Umbrellas

Sure they keep your head dry, but let’s be real, everything else still gets moderately wet unless the rain is not coming at an angle, which is rare.

2) Diet soda

The idea of diet soda is great but if you look into it, it actually is just as bad for you as regular sodas. Quit pretending that just because it says diet it means it’s better for you.

3) Closed Door Button

Patience is a rare thing in today’s society and I think that this button was put in elevators just to give people something to press when they are impatient. To be honest, I have never noticed a difference in pressing it or not.

4) Butt Toning Shoes

These tone your calves more than your butt and they look weird. Don’t believe the commercials, especially when they say that they are stylish.

5) Wrinkle prevent

Wrinkle prevent just makes your clothes stiff, not less wrinkly.

6) No Slip Headbands

The idea sounds great but they actually slip off more than regular headbands, especially if your hair is naturally slick.

7) Ankle Rain Boots

The rain still gets in there and they don’t look good. I just do not understand.

8) Vest

These are super cute but they warm such a small part of the body. I feel like they just defeat the purpose of putting on an extra layer.

9) Walk Signal Button

Maybe this works in other places but in my hometown, it does not hurry anything up.

10) Automatic Sinks

THEY NEVER RECOGNIZE MY HANDS.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
