12 Rude Hand Gestures to Avoid in Other Countries

If you’re planning an international trip this summer, be careful how you use your hands. Gestures that are completely innocent here can get you in big trouble in other places. Here’s a good list of 12 gestures to avoid.

1. The peace sign. You probably know this, but if you give a peace sign with the back of your hand facing OUT, it means “eff you” in the UK and other places. George Bush Sr. got in trouble for doing it in Australia back in 1992.

2. The thumbs-up. Kind of surprising, because here we use it to be friendly. In a lot of other places, they take it as a big insult . . . as in, “You can SIT on this.”

3. The A-OK. In some places it’s used to call someone a homosexual . . . and obviously a lot of people still see that as an insult. It can also mean “A-hole,” or sometimes it’s just another way to say “Eff you.”

4. Curling your finger to say ‘come here.’ If you’re in the Philippines and you beckon someone by curling your index finger toward yourself, they’ll ARREST you. For them it’s a gesture that’s only meant for dogs.

5. The left-handed shake. Here, you might sometimes shake with our left hand if you’re carrying something in your right, and it’s no big deal. In other places it’s REALLY rude, because that’s the hand that everyone uses for their personal business.

6. The devil horns. We use it to rock out over here. In Brazil and other places, it means “I’m doing your wife.”

7. Spreading your fingers. If you’re in Greece and you spread out your five fingers to show someone your palm, you’re telling them to use their MOUTH on you.

8. Crossing your fingers. What we do here to wish for good luck is a big insult in Vietnam. Just like the fig sign, they think it looks like female genitalia.

9. Baring the soles of your feet. Some cultures think it’s rude to show the soles of your feet, because they’re lowly and dirty.

10. The middle finger. This one actually means the same thing just about everywhere.

Here’s the original list.

19-year-old Jake Stoneking has a rare form of brain cancer. And tragically, he only has between three and 12 months left to live.

So he’s trying to cross items off his bucket list, which he showed to the local news . . . and we absolutely LOVE where his priorities are.

Because the number one item on Jake’s bucket list was . . . to visit a local STRIP CLUB called JIGGLES. And you’ll be happy to know it’s been crossed off.

Some of the other items on his list are to go to a UFC fight, hunt a bull elk, ride a zip line in Oregon, get his name tattooed on his back, and hold a cancer fundraiser. He’s crossed five of the 17 items off his list.

Jiggles is an 18-and-older strip club, so Jake was able to go in there legally. It only has two stars on Yelp. There’s no word on how Jake enjoyed his experience, but it’s awesome that he clearly has a sense of humor, even in a tragic situation. Read full story here.

The Five Things You Should Never Order at Fast Food Places . . . According to Fast Food Employees

There’s a certain amount of self-delusion required to eat fast food. Like, you KNOW it’s gross, bad for you, and processed with chemicals and poison. But it’s sweet, delicious poison.

So this might SHATTER your illusions. Here are the five things you should NEVER order at fast food places, according to fast food employees. Keep in mind this is all unverified, but still . . .

1. Beans at Taco Bell. They come out of a can like cat food and the directions are, quote, “Add water and stir until you can’t see white anymore.”

2. Chili at Wendy’s. The meat in the chili comes from old cooked burgers that don’t get sold. The leftover meat is frozen, then thawed and dumped into the chili.

3. Macaroni and cheese at Panera Bread. The mac and cheese comes in frozen packages and it’s just microwaved. There’s no cooking involved.

4. BBQ chicken at KFC. It comes from chicken that’s too old and stale to donate to food banks . . . so they soak it in barbecue sauce until it can be pulled.

5. Arby’s roast beef. Apparently, before it’s cooked, the roast beef looks like, quote, “a gelatinous mass with chunks of meat in it. Literally a paste with chunks of meat.”

So, when the hair starts to thin out or recede, what do you do? Leave it natural? Or invest in a Mach 3?

Jessica Strom wanted someone to kill her fiancé, John Schellpfeffer. Apparently, she felt like he was controlling and had, quote, “done bad things to her and others.”

So she tracked down a former classmate and told him she had a business proposal. She offered him $1,000 to kill her fiancé . . . and also offered to have SEX with him. And she’s decent-enough looking to make it persuasive.

She told him that after he killed her fiancé, they’d meet up and she would, quote, “pay you and [eff] you and whatever.”

Fortunately, the hitman was able to think with his BRAIN and not his GENITALIA . . . and quickly turned informant for the cops.

Jessica was arrested on Thursday for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. She’s looking at a max of 60 years in prison. She told the cops the whole thing was a joke and a misunderstanding.

With that being said, here’s an awesome video that has NOTHING to do with these rich a-holes! Please tell me if you like this video I picked out for your amusement. What did you like most about it? 😛

We’ve heard of people in foreign countries who accidentally get pronounced DEAD then wake up at their funerals. You don’t really see that happen in the U.S., where we generally can tell a dead person from a living one.

Around 9:00 P.M. on Wednesday night, the county coroner declared Walter Williams dead when he couldn’t find a pulse.

Four hours later, employees at Porter and Sons Funeral Home in Lexington, Mississippi got to work and saw one of their dead bodies trying to KICK its way out of a BODY BAG.

Turns out Walter WASN’T DEAD . . . and he was just HOURS away from being embalmed.

The coroner is now blaming it on Walter’s pacemaker malfunctioning. The county sheriff says, quote, “I asked the coroner what happened, and the only thing he could say is that it’s a miracle.”

I was watching a movie the other day called ‘Elvis & Annabelle’ where this exact situation happened. This is the reason why I definitely want to get cremated. I can’t imagine the horror you would go through if you suddenly woke up alive and locked in a casket. Have you already thought about what you would like your loved ones to do with you when you have passed? Would you want a simple cremation with no ceremony or do you prefer a burial with a large funeral attendance OR does it even matter?

On Monday, a woman named Jessica Caldwell left her two-year-old daughter at home. Jessica’s mother, Christine O’Keefe, was babysitting.

When Jessica got back, she found her mom was taking care of her daughter DRUNK.

So she started yelling at her. And Christine responded by taking a USED DIAPER and HITTING her daughter in the face.

She was arrested for misdemeanor battery.

Have you thrown or hit anyone in a fight? Come on, I know someone took off their shoe or something!

Earlier this month, 35-year-old Jason Payne was booking a room at a Hilton hotel.

The website asked for additional comments or requests, and Jason wrote, quote, “There’s a large snake in my trousers. Hope that’s okay.”

When he got to the hotel back on the 8th, the woman at reception was checking him in, saw his request, and started laughing. And she showed a coworker who laughed too.

But a few days later, Jason got an email from the manager telling him, quote, “We are not willing to accept that our team members are ever put into an uncomfortable situation, due to the abusive language a guest uses . . . even on the booking form.”

And Jason was BANNED FOR LIFE from that Hilton.

Jason says the next time he books a room at a different Hilton, he’s going to mention his trouser snake again.

On Thursday, a 47-year-old man named Chin Chean went to the funeral of a 17-year-old girl in southern Cambodia.

Then around 10:00 P.M. on Friday, he went BACK to the graveyard . . . dug up the body . . . and tried to have RELATIONS with it.

When he got to the casket, he opened it and tried to do his thing. But the coffin was so narrow, he couldn’t make it work. And apparently he was exhausted from all the digging . . . because he fell asleep ON TOP of the body.

Around 6:00 the next morning, several people noticed Chin’s foot sticking out of the grave and told the victim’s family, who called police.

Now Chin is awaiting trial, and it’s still not clear WHY he tried to have sex with the dead body . . . but drugs may have been involved. According to locals, he’s taken drugs and run around town NAKED before.

Having sex with a corpse is one sexual fantasy that is quite disturbing.  I really don’t understand that one.  But I’d like to know, what type of  fantasies do you or someone you know have?  Anything real crazy? I want to hear about them!
