Peeking out of your window, using running water, or even touching concrete walls — there are so many ordinary things that we do at home during extreme weather, and we don’t even think that they could be dangerous to us. And even though your home is generally a safe place during these times, there are still safety rules that shouldn’t be ignored.
Bright Side wants our readers to be prepared for any situation. For this purpose, we have found out what the most common mistakes are that most people neglect while waiting for bad weather to pass. Make sure to remember them and stay safe!
1. Avoid using running water.
Taking a shower or a bath, washing the dishes, or just using running water for any purpose can be dangerous. First, it’s because the water pipes are made out of metal (usually steel or copper), which is known to be able to conduct electricity. Second, tap water, with its countless impurities, allows electricity to flow through it. So covering yourself with water puts you at risk of an electric current getting to you.
2. Do not touch concrete structures.
It’s better to avoid touching or leaning on concrete walls, or even lying on concrete floors. Metal bars in the walls and flooring, combined with concrete, can conduct electricity and put you in danger. Another thing you need to avoid is storing bottles of water on these floors. Plastic can absorb different odors and even the chemicals used to create the cement floor. This can make your water unsuitable for drinking. Instead, put your supply of water bottles on some wood planks or use cardboard.
3. Try not to light candles.
The problem with candles is that they can also start a fire. And during a severe storm, it might not be possible to contact emergency services. Even if you are able to contact them, the weather might make it impossible for them to reach your house in time. To avoid possible dangers, you can use flashlights instead of candles. They produce even more light and are way safer.
4. Avoid hiding in your basement.
The basement is probably one of the most popular places to hide during hurricanes or floods, but it turns out that it might not be that safe. If your basement is underground and has no windows or doors, it can get filled with water, so you need to avoid hiding there. Otherwise, you risk getting trapped there with no way escape (if the level of water gets too high).
5. Don’t run a generator indoors.
A portable generator is able to keep your electronics, like refrigerators or air conditioners, running, but it’s better to not use it at all during the storm. The reason is that this machine emits carbon monoxide that can poison people and cause headaches, dizziness, weakness, and vomiting. In general, avoid using it in closed areas like the inside of your home, your garage, or your basement.
6. Avoid standing near windows.
While it may seem interesting or even romantic to watch lighting from your window, it’s still unsafe. If the storm is too severe, the wind can blow objects and they can fly and break the window, putting you in danger. Another reason, although it’s rather rare, is that in older homes lightning can come in through cracks in the sides of windows.
7. And don’t open them either.
Opening a window can cause severe damage to your home. Moisture can be brought in and cause problems like mold later on. And there is something worse that can happen — air can enter with a huge force and swiftly travel to the top of the house. If the wind power is intense enough, it can even blow the roof of your house off!
8. Don’t keep your laptop charger and other electronics plugged in.
If you need to get some urgent job done, make sure your laptop charger is unplugged. An electric current can overload to the power cord and not only destroy your device, but also hurt you. Don’t forget to save your files before it dies! Moreover, try to avoid being close to windows and doors while working on your laptop to make sure you won’t receive any static electricity damage or lightning strikes.
9. It’s better to not touch anything metal or electrical.
Even though it’s relatively safe to stay in the house during a storm, some of the objects in your home can conduct electricity and are dangerous to touch. For example, things like corded phones, wires, TVs or computer cables, plumbing, and metal doors should be avoided until the weather gets better. You can just unplug them beforehand to guarantee that nothing can bring any harm to you.
10. Never get locked in.
When the power goes off, the automatic locks of many garage doors lock up. Make sure that you and your family are well-informed about the manual cord that releases the door. This will allow you to easily open the door in case of an emergency and leave the premise safely.
11. Don’t turn your radio or TV off.
If a severe storm happens, you need to make sure that you don’t miss out on any information and updates that are being broadcast by your local authorities. Television and radio allow you to stay informed and take action to avoid danger. Remember, this knowledge might save your life!
12. If caught outside, avoid hilltops and open areas.
If you happen to be outside and can’t find shelter, then taking immediate action is crucial. First, do not hold onto any metal objects like umbrellas or bicycles, since they can attract a lightning strike. Second, do not stay on hilltops or in open areas — lightning seeks the highest ground. Try to find a pit or any other low place in the ground and hide there.

Luck is always about being in an outstanding position, regardless of whether that means something good or something bad. Because sometimes, no matter how special you want to feel, being that one in a million person is not the greatest thing in the world. Or at least that’s how Reddit users portrayed their experiences in a thread they opened to tell their stories, ranging from contacting a top-notch Hollywood actor thanks to a Tinder mistake, to having 2 road accidents 45 minutes apart.
If you ever felt that certain special things were happening only to you, you have to read the stories that Bright Side collected. Being that one in a million means you can either be very lucky or exactly the opposite...
1. A lucky birthday
2. Meeting your wife-to-be
3. So lucky indeed...
4. A hole in the ceiling
5. He arrived fashionably early though.
6. POFL: Passing out from laughing
7. Yep, that’s tall.
8. No hash browns either!
9. I’ll think twice before saying I’m allergic to the cold again.
10. Beginner’s luck
11. Not sure how lucky this is...
12. Dating a star
13. More like 1 in 2,000,000
14. Wrong number
15. Good throw!
16. Giant Charmander means good luck!
17. A stroke of lightning instead of luck
18. An unfortunate way to make contact

According to research, telling “white lies” can actually help build trust in a relationship. Scientists say that people would very often prefer you to have good intentions and lie, rather than to hear you tell the truth for its own sake. This means that when you want to protect your partner’s feelings or in some other way benefit them, you are allowed to tell a lie and not feel guilty about it.
Bright Side created a list of situations where lying to your romantic partner can be acceptable and even useful.
1. When you are trapped in an abusive relationship
Abusive relationships have nothing to do with real intimacy or understanding and you should, in this case, make your own safety and well-being a priority. If you are looking for help or trying to make arrangements to leave your abuser, you should be very cautious in order to not provoke further aggression. You may need to lie about your actions, phone calls, and other contacts you have made. Common sense ethics does not work when you are in danger.
2. When your partner asks you about your feelings for other people
You might sometimes want to avoid answering difficult questions from your partner just for the sake of your relationship. Imagine your girlfriend or boyfriend says: Have you ever loved anyone more than me? Do you find him or her attractive? If everything is fine in your relationship and you are not going to break up with your current partner it is better to say “no,” no matter what the truth is. You may have loved someone more in the past and you may sometimes feel attracted to others, but your relationship and your partner’s feelings are way more important than this.
3. When you are breaking up with someone and do not want to add to their pain
Being the initiator of a breakup is never easy and you need to find clever ways to tell your partner it’s over. You do not need your conversation to become a list of complaints and accusations, which may hurt the person you once liked or loved. You can say something like, “It’s not you, it’s me,” or refer to the wrong timing of your relationship. This will help you to preserve respect and dignity and split amicably without guilt and drama.
4. When you want to stop an ongoing fight
When you and your partner cannot agree on something, it causes a lot of tension and stress. You have to weigh your options and think about how important what you’re fighting about is. Do you want peace and healing in your relationship? Then you should probably say you are sorry and pretend to accept your partner’s point of view, even if in your heart you feel otherwise.
5. When your partner gives you a bad present or cooks a bad meal
You may prefer politeness over truth in order to not upset your loved one (especially on special occasions). Choosing to be generous and forgiving little mistakes makes relationships better. Next time your wife gives you the wrong shirt for your birthday or your husband’s cooking for your anniversary is not yummy enough, pretend to like it anyway. Your partner invested time, effort, and money to make you feel good, so don’t ruin it for them.
6. When you want to cancel a date without a good reason
You’re in a new relationship, but you are just not in the mood for a date or you want to go out with friends instead? It can be difficult to admit this because the truth may hurt your date’s feelings. In this case, it is better to invent a credible reason to cancel the date, like having to stay late at work. Sometimes, especially in a new relationship, we need some space to deal with our own issues or time to relax and that’s OK.
7. When you do not like your partner’s choice of clothes or their new hairstyle
You are dating a person whose style and appearance you generally like, but one day they just fail to impress you. You could tell them the truth and cause some pain and confusion, or you can keep your thoughts to yourself and treat it as an accident. You cannot control your partner’s style choices, but you can choose wisdom and words of praise and acceptance.

I used to manage a retail store that sold teen clothing, so as expected, I primarily had teens working for me. One employee came to the back room while I was on break and asked what I was eating. Somehow the topic turned to how I should’ve brought chicken for lunch because she wanted chicken. I told her I was vegetarian and therefore didn’t eat meat... She tells me chicken is NOT meat. It’s “poultry,” and vegetarians can eat poultry!!??? She said at the grocery store the aisles list “meat” and “poultry” separately, so they’re obviously different. We argued for a couple of minutes before I finally told her to go back to the sales floor. © Toomanyplantfriends / Reddit

When people get a cat or a dog as a pet, their lives usually change completely. And it’s not just about new duties and responsibilities. It’s about having a loving and loyal friend that becomes the dearest living creature in the world.
We at Bright Side are really passionate about our pets, which is why we decided to prepare a compilation of photos proving that pets are not just animals, they’re actual family members.
“A wonderful picture of my brother and our boxer. It’s like they’re twins.”
“My aunt made a couch for her cat.”
This gentleman reversed his hooded sweatshirt to make a puppy pocket.
“My husband brought home a model tent from work a couple months ago.”
“My ex and I split up 2 years ago and he still sends our dog, Apollo, a birthday card and gift card on his birthday.”
“Passed out and she squeezed in to cuddle. My girlfriend said we were both snoring.”
“My grandma is in the hospital and my cat just spends hours waiting for her in the kitchen.”
“My husband set up a tunnel that leads from our window into a tent in the front yard, and it’s been a massive hit with both our cats and the entire neighborhood! People are constantly stopping to take pictures and wave at them.”
Just look at these sleeping fellas!
“My kitten likes to be held like a baby (sorry for the junk in the background).”
Paws instead of a shovel!
“My cats sleep in bunk beds.”
They love to chill with their tiny human!
“Before, when I saw the difference between the photos of dogs in shelters and when they found their new owners, I didn’t believe the look in their eyes could be different. Today, I looked at a photo of Leyla when she was still in the shelter...”
“I had to go on a business trip for a week. I asked my neighbor to look after my cat. I was ready for the cold shoulder when I got back. But when I came home, my cat started smiling.”
“I didn’t really like dogs in the past... When I saw Ginger for the first time, I felt indifferent. But she changed me and now I want to love and care for her. I truly love her.”
“My girlfriend made an art gallery for our cat.”
“— Let’s buy a baby chair so that our kid doesn’t have to lie on the dog mat anymore.
— Okay.”
“We took Johnny out on an adventure today!”
“Let me add a little fun to your life.”
“We just made a replica of SpongeBob’s pineapple for our cat.”

Many believe that in order to understand what kind of a person a man really is , all you need to do is look at how he treats his mother .
There is indeed an immense influence a mother-son relationship has on his personality and life overall .

A mother ’ s support is a strong force .

If a boy feels secure around his mom , there is less of a chance of him acting up in the future .
In addition , if he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he will believe in himself and won ’ t be afraid to try new things .
One study discovered that children who spend a lot of time with their mothers are 20-40 % better at being social .
The reason for that is that there is a stronger cognitive development that happens through doing activities together .
A boy will have better verbal skills through communication with his mom .

Many believe that in order to understand what kind of a person a man really is, all you need to do is look at how he treats his mother. There is indeed an immense influence a mother-son relationship has on his personality and life overall. Boys who are close with their mothers grow up into stable and happy people, who are so needed in our society.
We at Bright Side believe that a mother’s love can make any boy into a magnificent human being. Here’s how:
It helps them do better in school.
Researchers have found that nurturing has a direct impact on how a child’s brain develops. Specifically in the area that’s responsible for learning, memory, and stress responses. A mother that is attentive to her son from the very first days, already makes a significant impact on his performance at school. So the more care she gives to him, the more care he’ll apply when studying.
It keeps them out of trouble.
Another bit of research shows that a close relationship with a mom significantly lowers the risk of boys getting involved in high-risk behaviors. It’s based largely on the mother-son attachment. Creating a safe environment at home and being an important person in a male child’s life makes him want to sustain this relationship and stay away from anything that could tamper with it.
It promotes confidence.
A mother’s support is a strong force. We all need our personal cheerleaders in life, and for a boy having his mom as his #1 fan is a major confidence booster. If a boy feels secure around his mom, there is less of a chance of him acting up in the future. In addition, if he has his mom’s support, he will believe in himself and won’t be afraid to try new things.
It strengthens his social skills.
One study discovered that children who spend a lot of time with their mothers are 20-40% better at being social. The reason for that is that there is a stronger cognitive development that happens through doing activities together. A boy will have better verbal skills through communication with his mom. In addition, if a child is around their parent more, they can observe them and learn proper social interactions.
It eliminates destructive male stereotypes.
Several studies have found that mothers are more accepting of girl’s emotions than boy’s, which can eventually lead to psychological withdrawal. That is why a supportive mother should encourage her boy to express his emotions. She should explain that crying doesn’t make him look less manly and that it provides comfort when needed. As a result, the boy will grow up into an emotionally available man, who’s honest about his feelings, and doesn’t live according to gender stereotypes.
It promotes higher emotional intelligence.
Speaking of male stereotypes and being able to express feelings in a healthy way, boys with secure attachments to their mothers are less likely to develop behavioral problems, which could interfere with their emotional development. They know how to deal with interpersonal conflicts, as well as form connections with other people, which is useful in almost all areas of our life.
It softens the transition into adulthood.
Growing up can be a stressful experience. Many kids are afraid to leave the nest and pursue independence. Interestingly, research has shown that children who have a supportive household feel much more confident to go off on their own, because they know their parents will always be there for them. So while it can be tough for a momma to see her boy become a man, she can be confident that he will be okay, all thanks to her.
It builds a man who respects women.
It’s basically impossible to imagine that a man who loves and cares for his mother would treat other women badly. By being close to his mom, a boy learns how to communicate with females and learns about their psyche. If you’ve met men who are attentive to women and respect their needs, you can bet that they have a great relationship with their mother.
It lowers their risk for mental health issues.
Circling back to the mother-son attachment, it was also proven that it significantly strengthens a boy’s mental health. He learns to efficiently cope with issues and receives enough support to steer clear of depression and anxiety.
It helps boys become successful.
If we combine doing good in school, being confident, being mentally stable, and being sociable, we have a perfect recipe for a winner in life. And we’re not just talking about financial success, we’re talking about what’s most important: happiness. Any mother wants to see her boy happy, and her involvement in his life cannot be overestimated.
