Some posts are just rather comical. / myLot

I'm not talking about MyLot specifically but over the years from time to time I see some posts that make me laugh because they are so unintentionally funny to me. Usually these are common sense posts. Most posts like these are usually banned on most writing websites but it seems like one gets through every now and then. I remember years ago when a post on how to fold socks was published on one writing website I was on. I just couldn't believe something like that was actually published on that website because that particular website paid well and all posts had to pre-approved before they were published. How do you feel when you see a "common sense" post be published?

I see funny posts like how to iron and fold underwear, socks and how to air out a car. Sometimes something that makes us shake our heads can be light reading and bring a smile. I don't know how they make it through either. I hope I don't do those kind but knowing me, if I post before coffee it may happen.

I know a person who even irons socks. Ironing is over rated, leave the creases long enough and they fall out of the clothes

Common sense is not so common, but you would think everyone knows how to fold socks.

If the post looks common sense in the title I try to avoid it.

The ones that make me laugh are those which offer outrageous opinions without a shred of proof. It's great that we're all allowed to speak our mind, but there are some very strange ideas floating about on social media.

I totally hate that behavior. If the same post isn't writen by the same person , I think , perhaps, the post copy others' . for that I truly couldn't bear. How are you?

Yes, such funny posts make us laugh and we love to read such posts. I remember a post which a user started here many years ago - do you use your both hands and chin while putting covers on your pillow.

I haven't came across a how to fold socks post. That will produce some chuckles. We need some humor in our lives.

its really look funny while post on common sense,socks is not a big thing and it will not damage if we not fold it and its small anyone can fold,so i think that person who post it think may be socks broken if not fold.
