Every day, we meet the representatives of different professions starting from bus drivers and postmen to doctors and pilots. Most often, our knowledge about what working with people is like is quite superficial. Meanwhile, they have a lot of things they would like to share with us — from useful tips and warnings to cries from the heart.
We at Bright Side appreciate the work of those whose work is connected with people, that’s why we decided to give them a nod today. We have collected the professional tips, secrets, and claims of the workers who, for whatever reason, can’t talk about them openly.
Seller in a fish market. The red snapper you are buying could be any number of different fish, but it’ll be sold as snapper regardless. Name changing is pretty common since few people can tell the difference between the different species. © brokendownandbusted / Reddit

Hopefully, things have changed, but our manager was insistent on using past due meat to make burgers, sausages, etc. I once got in trouble because I threw out the ammonia scented chicken tenderloins that had expired 2 weeks prior, rather than grind them up for chicken patties. © sorrythankyouno / Reddit
Poultry industry worker. When hatched, a chick costs $0.25. Over its lifespan of only about 30 days, it consumes about $1 worth of feed, which is the largest cost to the company. When killed, very little of the chick is left to waste. The feet are mostly shipped to China, and the blood is used in fertilizer. Feathers are often ground up and fed back to the birds. © SushiJuice / Reddit

Everything comes in frozen to pubs: soups, curry, cakes, bread, Sunday dinners, meat, fish, chicken. So that really nice meal you got where the chicken had the nice char-grill marks on it and everything was so juicy... I microwaved everything and shot the chicken on the grill for an 30 extra seconds. I laugh when people say, “Oh, so you’re a chef?” Haha. No, I’m a microwave technician! © Dannyboi93 / Reddit
IKEA worker. Our store always has trial samples for every single item we sell. But, still, many people open packages. The other day I saw a woman tearing open a transparent package with a pillow, while the sample was lying right in front of her. I asked her to stop doing it politely and to stop spoiling the goods, and she replied in a rude manner, “I need this one. I am going to buy it, so I can do whatever I want.” As you might have already guessed, once I turned around, she threw the package and its contents on the floor and took another packaged pillow. Grrrr! © 59Block / Pikabu

Italian footwear chain manager. Some customers like to visit the store a couple of minutes before it closes. It’s 9:58 PM, the mall closes at 10 PM, we have already recorded today’s sales and calculated all the money. A mother and her daughter come in and start to try on every pair of shoes they see. Other stores have already dimmed their lights and the security guard comes to check and see if everything is OK. They are still trying on shoes. It would be fine if they made a purchase but they say, “We’ll think about it,” and leave with a proud look. A couple of times my workers have had to stay on late because of people like this, and as a result, they were late for their bus (because they live in the countryside) and had to go home by taxi. The mall wrote out warnings to us, saying we should close the store on time. Then I came up with the following trick: I warn the client that the lights will go out at 10:05 and unnoticeably switch them off by myself. © NataLu13 / Pikabu

The select “hero” walkers, who have the full prosthetics and interact with the cast, the “mid-walkers” who get spray painted all sorts of deathly shades but not much else, the masked walkers, who, well, wear a mask, and then the back walkers, who don’t have any makeup at all, just the clothes. These clothes are rarely washed and you wear the same outfit for weeks sometimes. And to get the makeup off? Shaving cream. At the end of the day, we’re all herded to the shaving cream station to rub it all over us and wash it off with water. It actually works really well. © clcliff / Reddit

A psychologist shared that when she was in the third grade, a manager from a bank came to her classroom and gave each child the opportunity to open a bank account and allowed them to make regular deposits. It was a brilliant lesson for her. But there are some more crucial things about money that parents can show their kid at any age.
We at Bright Side are all for teaching proper money management, especially during childhood, and would love to share some professional tips on how to do it.
Age 2 to 3
Doctor Dorothy Singer says that children between 2 and 3 years old don’t understand the value of money but they can begin doing so by learning the names of coins. One of the games can be “identification.” Your child can check different coins, examine their colors and shapes, and then match them with the image while discussing the names. It’s also recommended to pick a nickel if you play with a coin because of its size. You should provide close supervision when a toddler plays with a dime.
Young kids are most excited to play “pretend shop” at home so you can provide them with some new information about shopping without even going out. Exchange your money for food, show them coupons, and talk about sales as a fun game. Experts suggest to make pretend money together and use cereal boxes and fruit as store items. Just make it entertaining for your kid so that they’ll be excited to learn about this topic more.
Age 4 to 5
Before going to the supermarket, clip some coupons with your child — but don’t forget to use safety scissors. When you’re at the store, give the kid one coupon and ask them to keep an eye on the cucumbers or other products. Just make them feel like they’re helping you and doing something important. Another way to teach a preschooler about money is to set up an imaginary restaurant at home. This is a good way to prepare your kid for future dinners in the real world and explain some basic things throughout the game such as manners and how to set the table. Remind your child after dinner that they have to pay the bill. You can use pretend money for this part.
Your child should also learn the importance of waiting. It’s a crucial skill for saving and spending. There’s no need to explain things in great detail. Just begin with waiting in line and say that it’s a part of life when you want to get something that you like. For practice, find a reasonably priced toy that your kid wants. Tell them they have to wait and save money to get it. Then give the child allowance each week, like $1, for example. Don’t give them all the money at once.
Age 6 to 8
After receiving an allowance, your kid needs to learn how to place their money. You can give them piggy banks or jars to collect their money for different purposes. It’s also an age when you can take them to the bank and turn it into a really exciting event, experts say. Open a savings account for your child and explain how cool it is to have regular deposits and how the bank pays people back for saving their money. You can also visit a museum displaying the evolution of currency.
Age 9 to 12
When your kid is 9 years old, you can start reading price labels with your child and compare them. When you pick a product, don’t forget to include quality when you make decisions. You can also try to use a roll of toilet paper from one brand for a week and then switch to another brand the following week. Discuss the differences with your kid and make the choice of what to buy together. Put your child in charge if you’re holding a yard sale. This way, they can learn about responsibility — just don’t put too much pressure on your kid.
Age 13 to 15
Experts say that this is a good age to learn about the stock market. You can pretend to invest in companies that your child is familiar with, like Nike, Coca-Cola, and others. Watch the financial news together and explain everything in simple terms. Try to awake some interest by discussing the profit they’ll make, but don’t forget to mention the risks. Teenagers are also welcome to discuss the family budget, as well as needs vs wants.

And that ’ s okay !

Psychological problems with self-esteem, career, and even between spouses can greatly affect a newborn, according to a study. So it’s important to deal with all these nuances in your head before having children.
We, at Bright Side, analyzed some of the key psychological problems that it’s better to deal with before becoming a parent and we’re ready to tell you all about them.
1. You already have kids, but still want more.
One woman shared the details of her baby addiction. She already has 5 children and understands that she is too old to give birth to new ones, but can’t stop thinking about it. It turns out that a desire to fill an inner void and loss from an unhappy childhood may be the main reason for this. So wanting more and more children isn’t always good and it can be a problem that needs to be worked through with a specialist.
2. You expect that having a baby will save your relationship.
67% of couples reported a decrease in relationship satisfaction after giving birth to their first child. The decrease usually occurs between 6 months for women and 9 months for men, after the baby appears. So if you’re planning to save the marriage this way, it’s not a good idea.
3. Your career is your main priority.
The workaholism of a parent negatively affects not only the parent themselves, but also their children. They usually become emotionally neglected and made to feel “invisible.” As a result, children can begin to feel guilty and have low self-esteem.
4. You are not satisfied with your own life.
According to Michigan State University, young children learn by copying their parents. This means that your child will be a lot like you, so it’s important to appear before them as a self-confident person with goals and desires. Otherwise, they might mimic your uncertainty in life, which may prevent kids from achieving their goals in the future.
5. You still feel like a child yourself.
Psychologists even have a special term, “infantilism,” that describes a person who mainly acts like a child while being an adult. These people tend to be guided by emotions, and not by their mind. Parenting requires endurance and self-control, and kids tend to copy the behavior of the people around them — for this they need the example of an emotionally stable person.
6. You struggle with stress and anxiety.
This study revealed that parents’ negative emotions may affect their children’s development in a bad way. Experts believe that an especially strong influence occurs in the first year of the baby’s life. As a result, it’s possible that children will acquire the negative behaviors and the negative mood of their parents. So the rule is simple: your happiness will make your child happy.
7. You expect perfection in every aspect of life.
Perfectionism is often caused by a fear of failure, a sense of unworthiness, low self-esteem, and adverse experiences in childhood. Parents should take control of this psychological problem in themselves, because their children sometimes won’t obey them and won’t want to do homework. Just be prepared that sometimes you will have to repeat something several times and wash food off the walls. And that’s okay!

Almost everyone knows that leaving clothes in the washing machine is not a good idea and that it ’ s better to wash dirty dishes right away .
However , sometimes even the most experienced of housekeepers can be making similar mistakes while cleaning their apartments and removing their messes .
The thing is that they could be using well-known tips that might look correct , but what they ’ re doing can even be dangerous .
For many of us , sweeping the floor is a quick method you use to clean the floors of the house .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hardly be called effective .
This type of cleaning doesn ’ t remove even the 1/10 of all the dirt in your home .
Particles of dust rise into the air and settle on your furniture , while other small abrasive particles get into the coating of the floor , which makes it look dusty .
That ’ s why it ’ s better to not sweep the floor , but to vacuum it instead .
It will make the cleaning process more thorough and your apartment will stay clean for a longer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cutting board instead of a wooden one There is a myth that plastic cutting boards are more hygienic than wooden ones and it is not completely true .
Despite the fact that wood is porous and really absorbs bacteria well , it is also a destructive and aggressive environment for it .
At the same time , plastic cutting boards are safe until the moment you see the first scratches on them .
Synthetic material serves as an excellent breeding ground for bacteria , and even thorough disinfection won ’ t be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effectively removes food residue from cutting boards .
But the scratches and cuts on these boards also contain microscopic food debris that are invisible to the eye — and after absorbing the soapy solution , they will then be transferred to any other food that will be chopped on this board .
It ’ s better to disinfect cutting boards with the help of hydrogen peroxide .
Putting coffee grounds and water after boiling pasta/rice in the sink Coffee grounds poured into the sink often cause sewer blockages .
This is all because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which stick to the fatty deposits in the pipes and form a kind of clog in there .
The same thing happens to the water that is left over after boiling pasta or rice .
The sticky liquid quickly settles on the inner walls of the pipes , but dissolves rather slowly , which ups the risk of clogging your drain .
Making your bed right after waking up This piece of news might excite those who find that making their bed in the morning is a real torture .
The thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living on it .
Dust mites are microscopic organisms that feed on the dead cells of human skin .
Warmth and moisture are an ideal environment for them .
When making the bed right after getting up , a person creates the perfect atmosphere for them .
Later , this can cause serious allergic reactions , including bronchial asthma , allergic rhinitis , and conjunctivitis .
That ’ s why it ’ s better to keep the bed open for a while in order to let it become dry .
People whose apartment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay special attention to this point .
If you want your furniture and parquet flooring to stay attractive for as long as possible , make sure to close your curtains or blinds during the hot times of the day .
Due to the abundance of UV rays , furniture and wood floors can quickly tarnish and become discolored .
Terry towels hanging on hooks in the bathroom can become a real breeding ground for fungus and bacteria .

Almost everyone knows that leaving clothes in the washing machine is not a good idea and that it’s better to wash dirty dishes right away. However, sometimes even the most experienced of housekeepers can be making similar mistakes while cleaning their apartments and removing their messes. The thing is that they could be using well-known tips that might look correct, but what they’re doing can even be dangerous.
We at Bright Side made a big list of household chore habits that can negate any effort to keep your home clean and that can even harm your health and the health of your family.
Sweeping the floor
For many of us, sweeping the floor is a quick method you use to clean the floors of the house. But actually, working with a broom can hardly be called effective. This type of cleaning doesn’t remove even the 1/10 of all the dirt in your home. Particles of dust rise into the air and settle on your furniture, while other small abrasive particles get into the coating of the floor, which makes it look dusty. That’s why it’s better to not sweep the floor, but to vacuum it instead. It will make the cleaning process more thorough and your apartment will stay clean for a longer period of time.
Using a plastic cutting board instead of a wooden one
There is a myth that plastic cutting boards are more hygienic than wooden ones and it is not completely true. Despite the fact that wood is porous and really absorbs bacteria well, it is also a destructive and aggressive environment for it. At the same time, plastic cutting boards are safe until the moment you see the first scratches on them. Synthetic material serves as an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, and even thorough disinfection won’t be able to eradicate it completely.
Washing a cutting board with dishwashing liquid
Dishwashing detergent effectively removes food residue from cutting boards. But the scratches and cuts on these boards also contain microscopic food debris that are invisible to the eye — and after absorbing the soapy solution, they will then be transferred to any other food that will be chopped on this board. It’s better to disinfect cutting boards with the help of hydrogen peroxide.
Putting coffee grounds and water after boiling pasta/rice in the sink
Coffee grounds poured into the sink often cause sewer blockages. This is all because of the special consistency of the grounds, which stick to the fatty deposits in the pipes and form a kind of clog in there. The same thing happens to the water that is left over after boiling pasta or rice. The sticky liquid quickly settles on the inner walls of the pipes, but dissolves rather slowly, which ups the risk of clogging your drain.
Making your bed right after waking up
This piece of news might excite those who find that making their bed in the morning is a real torture. The thing is that any bed has dust mites living on it. Dust mites are microscopic organisms that feed on the dead cells of human skin. Warmth and moisture are an ideal environment for them. When making the bed right after getting up, a person creates the perfect atmosphere for them. Later, this can cause serious allergic reactions, including bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, and conjunctivitis. That’s why it’s better to keep the bed open for a while in order to let it become dry.
Constantly keeping the curtains open
People whose apartment is located on the sunny side should pay special attention to this point. If you want your furniture and parquet flooring to stay attractive for as long as possible, make sure to close your curtains or blinds during the hot times of the day. Due to the abundance of UV rays, furniture and wood floors can quickly tarnish and become discolored.
Keeping terry towels in the bathroom
Terry towels hanging on hooks in the bathroom can become a real breeding ground for fungus and bacteria. Moisture, heat, and oxygen are the ideal breeding ground for them. That’s why in order not to harm your skin, it’s necessary to change your towels every 2 days. And don’t forget to dry them properly — the best option is to replace them with paper towels.
Putting the toilet brush in the holder right after cleaning
If you return the toilet brush to the holder right after using it, the microbes from the toilet will get into the holder and start actively breeding. In order to avoid this, it’s recommended to hang the brush over the bowl by putting it between the bowl and the seat for a while, so that the extra moisture gets off of it.
Pouring leftover tea leaves in the toilet
It’s not a good idea to flush tea leaves down the toilet. If you keep doing this regularly, the surface of your toilet bowl will turn dark brown due to the tannins in the tea. It could be quite hard to get back the original whiteness of the bowl afterward.
Spraying cleaning detergents directly on the surface
Spraying cleaning agents directly on the surface of furniture and glass creates a thin film of the solution that is invisible to the eye. It can result in letting dust and dirt stick into it even more. The right way is to apply the detergent to a rag or a sponge first.

1. How to relieve tension in your neck safely
To relieve tension in your neck, you can try to perform this self-stretch that won’t take up much of your time. It can be done while standing or sitting. Find the 2 prominent bony bumps at the back of your skull. Interlace your fingers and place them at this prominent point, like shown in the picture.

2. How to relieve tension in your shoulders
Relieving tension in your chest and your shoulders can help you to reduce tension in your neck as well, because these body parts are interconnected. Use a wall to do safe stretching. Stand approximately 2 ft (0.6 m) back from a corner in the room, while facing the corner. Place your feet together. Both forearms should be on each wall. Your elbows should be a little below shoulder height. Start leaning gently. Lean in as far as possible, but remember, you shouldn’t feel pain. If you feel pain, stop the exercise. Stay in this position for about 30 seconds to a minute.
3. How to relieve tension in your lower back safely
To relieve tension in your lower back, stretch it over the edge of your bed so your head can go below the level of your spine. Don’t do this stretch if you have any injuries to your spine. Lie down on your back. Your shoulder blades should be extended over the edge of the bed and your head should be below the level of your bed, like shown in the picture. Relax your back. Start gently extending your hands toward the floor. Breathe slowly. After each extending motion, hold for about 5 seconds. Then go back to the original position and take a full breath in. Do as many repetitions as you need.
One more exercise that can help your lower back is a twist. You will need a chair for this. Sit down in the chair with your back straight. Bring your left leg a little bit over your right leg. Put your right elbow on your left knee. Start slowly rotating your upper body to the left. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Now, return to your starting position. Repeat this exercise with your right leg over your leg, turning to the opposite side.
4. How to relieve tension in your upper back safely
To get rid of stiff shoulders, do this exercise first. You’ll need a table to do it. Place one hand on the table to stabilize yourself. Relax your shoulders. The other arm should hang toward the floor. Swing it in a small circle, about a foot (30 cm) in diameter. Perform 10 revolutions in each direction, once a day.
A back-of-the-chair stretch can be the optimal choice to reduce tension in your muscles and joints at home or at work. You should use a chair with a short back to perform this exercise. Put a towel on it, if you want, to make it more comfortable for yourself. Place your palms on your forehead and exhale slowly. Your head and shoulders should sink down behind the chair. Do not lean back if it feels uncomfortable to you or if it hurts you.
A back extension while standing is easy and safe to perform, but you need to be careful if you have any spinal problems. It will stretch along your spine and make you feel better in your upper back after long periods of sitting. While standing, place your palms onto your lower back. All of your fingers should point down, while your pinky fingers should be placed on either side of your spine. Now start making an arch with your spine. Lean backward, like shown in the picture. Apply slight pressure to your back by pushing it with your palms. You may feel a crack between your shoulder blades. Breathe. Hold the position for 10 to 20 seconds.

Finger fitness is excellent for improving the overall condition of your hands. It’s especially good for musicians to do to develop their abilities or for people who don’t have enough hand mobility.

Yoga is the perfect exercise, and it’s not just for your state of mind, but also to relieve tension from your body. Try the Mahamayuri Mudra position. It is a beginner level yoga pose that is performed in a seated position. You can connect this pose with a brief meditation. Connect your pinky fingers. Keep your right thumb over your left thumb and then interlace all of your fingers, except your pinky fingers. Leave the pinky fingers straight up, touching each other. Stay like this for as long as you’d like.
Get an exercise ball for your hands and fingers. As a basic exercise you can do this: Hold the ball in your palm. Start squeezing it as hard as you can. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10 to 15 times on each hand. Don’t do this exercise if your thumb joint is damaged.
Bonus: The “placebo effect” of cracking your neck
A study has shown that cracking your neck can have a positive mental effect on you. This happens because many people associate cracking sounds with the successful adjustment of a joint. But in actuality no pressure is released. This effect is called a “placebo effect.” Cracking your neck can be harmful if you don’t do it correctly or if you do it too often. To avoid any negative consequences with any joints, consult with your doctor first.

Tattoos don’t go out of style, and this has been increasingly demonstrated by celebrities, who often share the results of impressive ink work done on their skin, on their social networks. However, the happiness ends when they have to cover or remove something they got while in a relationship or simply because they got bored with the design. In other cases, some celebrities have even declared that the tattoo they removed gave them “bad luck.” These events happen more frequently than we realize, and some celebrities have had to go through this situation more than once.
Bright Side researched more about celebrities who have covered up or removed some of their tattoos and this is what we found!
1. Eva Longoria
This actress had several tattoos in honor of her former husband, basketball player Tony Parker. The first one was on her neck, and it said “Nine,” like the number on the jersey the player wore when he played for the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs. Another very visible tattoo she had was the one with the date of their wedding, “July 7, 2007” written in Roman numerals (VII-VII-MMVII). It used to be on her right wrist, but later on when they divorced, Eva immediately went to remove the artwork that once symbolized her love for the French basketball player.
2. Rumer Willis
The daughter of actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis decided to get rid of the lion on her left arm because, in her own words, it was “negatively affecting her ability to land acting gigs.” Even for celebrities, work comes first, although she added too: “It just didn’t feel like me anymore, so I just thought to change it up.”
3. Heidi Klum
While she was married to musician Seal, Heidi Klum proudly wore a tattoo on her right forearm with her husband’s name and stars symbolizing their children’s initials. As soon as she was done with the singer, she went straight to having part of the tattoo removed by laser. Guess which part was removed...
4. Kaley Cuoco
The actress who jumped to fame after playing Penny in The Big Bang Theory had immortalized the date of her wedding with Ryan Sweeting on her back. However, after announcing their divorce, she decided to cover the Roman numerals with a moth-like insect.
5. Kelly Osbourne
In 2010, the host of Fashion Police, a show on the E! Entertainment channel, spoke for the first time about her decision to have some of her 15 tattoos removed. Of course, this made it to most tabloid headlines. She even shared the painful process, on her Instagram account, of removing them with a laser treatment she had to undergo. After announcing her decision, some media made lists to rank the tattoos Osbourne had inked on her body. Among them, a piano and the word “Daddy” to honor her famous father, Ozzy Osbourne, lead singer of rock band Black Sabbath. She also had a red heart, an anchor, the name “Jack” in honor of her brother, the word “Lovely,” a star, skulls, and red wings with a phrase dedicated to her mother.
6. Megan Fox
The actress decided to completely erase a tattoo honoring Marilyn Monroe. The reason behind her decision? According to some media reports, Megan got rid of the image of this legend of cinema because it attracted negative energy into her life.
7. Denise Richards
The actress was married to actor Charlie Sheen and both had each other’s name tattooed on their ankle and wrist, respectively. However, after 4 years, their marriage came to an end, so they decided to wipe the slate clean. Denise, for example, decided to cover up the name of the famous protagonist of Two and a Half Men with a fairy, while he covered up her name by making himself a kind of bracelet.
8. Marc Anthony
The Puerto Rican singer was married for several years to singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, but after they decided to break up, he went on to cover up her name, which he had tattooed on his right wrist.
9. Melanie Griffith
To celebrate her then husband, Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith decided to tattoo a heart on her right arm that had his name on it. However, in 2014, once they started their divorce proceedings, the actress decided to completely erase the symbol of the love she had gotten for him.
10. Colin Farrell
The actor has had several tattoos that, over time, he’s had removed. One of the reasons for completely removing some of his ink was, according to him and in his own words, because he got tired of getting painted in the makeup chair anytime he had to wear a T-shirt. He also added that some of the images that he had imprinted on his skin no longer pleased him and even embarrassed him.
11. Pamela Anderson
The famous Baywatch star had a tattoo of barbed wire on one of her arms. However, by 2014, the actress decided to remove it completely. The meaning of this piece is still relatively unknown. Some presume that it means to be locked up and others think it symbolizes living a life full of sacrifice.
12. Chris Zylka
This actor was engaged to Paris Hilton. They both swore eternal love to each other and he decided to honor their promise with a tattoo on his arm. Unfortunately, their relationship came to an end. It took Zylka 9 months to cover his ex’s name with the image of a gorilla.
13. Kat Von D
The famous tattooist had a tattoo that was done in honor of her ex-fiancé, Jesse James, removed. The tattoo was an image of him when he was a child. When they announced their separation, Von D began laser sessions to remove all traces of the past.
