People Share The Weirdest Flexes They Heard Someone Say With A Straight Face
Annoying as these "flexes" always are, sometimes they, even more annoyingly, aren't inaccurate.
At other times, however, we find ourselves raising our eyebrows or stifling our laughter over certain people's subtle flexes.
Redditor Reasonable_Buddy1293 was eager to hear about the most bizarre and confusing flexes they've been privy to, leading them to ask:
"What’s the weirdest flex you’ve ever heard someone say with a straight face?"

"I said, what about in supermarkets where they play background music, she said she tunes it out and ignores it."

"They had to have a library card to do that, and we kept a list of their parents/guardians to call if things got rowdy, which they often did."
"One time these two kids were causing trouble after closing time, wouldn't leave, were throwing furniture around and yelling in our faces."
"I told them we were going to call their parents, one of them turned around and said triumphantly, 'HA! I don't even HAVE any parents!'"

We've all achieved things in our lives that we are proud of, and hope we might get even the tiniest bit of recognition for.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat
TikToker and "Down There" Dr. Marcy Crouch recently filmed a brief TikTok video, holding a bunched up pair of pants and looking miffed.
She started:
"Somebody... explain this to me."
"I would like to know why, Champion at Target, [why you included] a center pleat?"
Holding eye contact with the camera, Crouch then leans back, revealing her already cute outfit of fitted, light blue pants, and a front-tucked t-shirt with a tiger on it. Still holding eye contact, she pulls the pleated pants on over her blue ones.
When Crouch stands up, the problem with the pants' design becomes immediately obvious.
The pair of pants has two standard side pleats, which typically add definition to the hip area, but by adding a third, center pleat, it obviously points out a woman's vagina, even offering the illusion of one on the outside of the pants.
Who would need X-ray goggles when you could just wear these?
Crouch then models the pants, showing how the pleat moves with her movement of walking, moving her legs around, putting her hands in her pockets, and squatting, all of which further accentuate the visual of the problematic pleat.
At the end of the video, she simply says:
"When I'm talking to you, this is all you'll see."
"Do better."

Some agreed that this was a huge design oversight.

Design flaws will come and go, but there are some articles of clothing that stay in the public memory forever.
While these pants might not be the one, they're definitely a contender.
Woman Flips Her Car After Belting Out Ironic Britney Spears Lyric In Wild Viral Video
McCutcheon belted out the iconic "Hit me baby, one more time," while punctuating the words by lightly hitting her steering wheel with her fist.
But then her face turned incredibly serious and her eyes bulged as she put both hands on the wheel.
Based on the tension in the steering wheel and the sound in the video, she seemed to go over gravel or fresh pavement, which can be enough for a car to lose traction, and she held onto the wheel as it pulled to the side, and she corrected.
But then she may have over-corrected as the car pulled in the opposite direction, causing the car to overhang into a ditch, followed by the video being a frantic montage of images as the car flipped over.
Since she was wearing her seatbelt, McCutcheon then appeared in the camera in the upper right-hand corner, reaching down to see if her phone was okay and if she could call for help.
You can watch the video here:
Some were tickled by the irony of the video and the song choice.

Since the incident and going viral, McCutcheon has posted quite a few humorous edits of the accident footage, as well as the bio:
"I'M OKAY AND THE CAR STILL DRIVES BY THE WAY."
Fortunately for Kaitlynn McCutcheon, she was totally fine after the accident, and her car remained drivable. What could have turned out to be a terrible accident actually turned out to be a laughable moment, largely because of the timing of the song before the crash and even her Bluetooth disconnecting and reconnecting mid-crash.
There's no crime against having a little bit of fun while you're driving, but it's important to strike that balance between safe driving and hitting all the right notes.
And remember: always buckle up!
Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital
But nurse and TikToker Lynn Shazeen is now warning people about not drinking too much matcha—or at least being mindful about how much of it you're drinking—after her "matcha obsession era" landed her in the hospital.
In a short teaser TikTok video, Shazeen showed herself sitting in a hospital room, getting bloodwork done and possibly receiving some kind of transfusion.
The voiceover on the video says:
"You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation..."
The rest of the video was then a compilation of photos she'd taken, featuring her various matcha and matcha latte drinks she'd purchased at Starbucks.
The video also featured the text overlay:
"RIP to my matcha obsession era."
You can watch the video here:
Fellow TikTokers of course had a lot of questions, wondering what the connection was between Shazeen purchasing matcha lattes and ending up in a hospital room, since matcha is supposed to be a healthier option for us to drink and enjoy.
In a follow-up video, Shazeen explained that while matcha has a lot of positive health benefits, it also can block iron absorption, leading to mild to severe iron deficiencies.
Shazeen then showed a series of bloodwork panel results she'd received, revealing that her iron levels were incredibly low and that she was very anemic. Immediate iron transfusions had to be done to get her blood levels back up to a somewhat normal level, and she'll have to be monitored to make sure the issue does not persist.
What's really shocking about this is that Shazeen is not even the most frequent matcha drinker, citing that she only drinks it once or twice per month.
The most avid matcha lovers among us need not despair, however. Because matcha blocks absorption, the best time to drink it is two hours before or after you plan to eat, so your body has time to absorb nutrients properly while also enjoying the matcha. Matcha also shouldn't be the very first thing that you consume in the morning, because it can lead to an upset stomach and cause other problems.
Some key symptoms to watch out for if you're concerned about an iron deficiency or anemia are shortness of breath, heart palpitations, irritability, and low energy.
You can watch the follow-up video here:
Fellow TikTokers were a mix of shocked and thankful for the information.

Though this doesn't mean that matcha is yet another thing that we all have to cut out of our diets, it's an important reminder that there is such a thing as "too much of a good thing," even when it comes to matcha.
Fortunately for matcha lovers, they can still enjoy the taste and its health benefits, as long as they are mindful of the optimal times to drink it throughout the day.
