40 Things That Made People Smile, Shared By The Bored Panda Community

I did my first digital art drawing this week.

On Father's Day, we had my dad over for brunch and my husband went outside our home and headed to the backyard where we happen to have a nest of birds on a downspout. As my husband starts to turn the corner, all the babies took off for what seemed to be their first flight. The mom bird almost attacked my husband. My husband came back in a little shaken up and had a funny story of what just happened outside. He sits down, grabs some of the snacks we had out, and 30-45 minutes later he gets back up to get something to drink. Out of nowhere, my dad said "Hey Mike, Did the bird s**t on your back?" I thought my husband may have had a little mark on his shirt and my dad was trying to be funny. I told my husband to turn around and I almost died! He had the biggest bird poo I have EVER seen on the back of his black shirt. We couldn't stop laughing. Even later that night just rethinking the situation I kept busting out laughing. It was hilarious.

While traveling the Central Coast of California, I picked up a newspaper in the small town of Cayucos. Whoever writes the crime report has a great sense of humor. “Police documented that at 10:52 a.m. a person who was reported missing was found at Albertson’s grocery store, on the aisle of forgotten souls.”

On a morning walk I saw a wild rabbit running around a pine tree with a case of the zoomies. Just like my cat at 3AM.

This big truck was tailgating me for several miles so I pulled over and let him pass me. He must have been gloating because a mile down the road he made a U-turn and came back - he'd missed his turn!

This afternoon, my pitbull was hopping around my back deck, having a fit. I had no idea what was making her act like she was being attacked. And then when she turned towards me, there was a big beetle fluttering on her nose. I couldn't stop laughing.

I was doing food delivery and delivered to a nice older man tending his yard. I noticed he had a whole area of his yard near the path to the door filled with oyster shells instead of stones, and it was super pretty! I told him so and he seemed to appreciate it.
I wonder if he'd just saved up all the shells from eating over the years because they're pretty and iridescent, then when he had enough did something cool with them.
His whole yard was very creative and cool. Goals.

My 21yo left me encouraging notes around the house before she left today because I'm bummed about finances. 3 so far and I'm grinning ear to ear

We have some good friends visiting from out of state. Our daughters are best friends. They video chat and play Minecraft on Xbox every week, but we only see them in person once a year. It's been really great hearing them giggle and non-stop chatter over each other for the past week.

I showed my art to my friend and they started to compliment and praise me, I spent the next hour giving my friend drawing tips and yeeted my love at them, i was having a bad day and they instantly cheered me up. I personally love their art too and gave them a boatload of compliments

Another submission- walking Brutus Augustus early mornings because of the extremely hot temperatures so not really awake yet. Was told he was a most beautiful boy by several neighbors. His infectious grin gets them every time.

A picture of a cat face down asleep on a shelf of bags of chips, legs akimbo and tail hanging straight down. Sleeping peacefully in the knowledge of absolute comfort and safety or that it is in total charge of its surroundings and no one is brave enough to disturb the master.

I was at a friend's house yesterday (they're twins) and one of them brought out their oculus. This guy who was also there played beat saber and was really bad at it but he kept waving his hands around and laughing and was doing really badly and doing so in a hilarious way. Me and my friends got a video and pictures. Then he proceeded to aggressively eat a cupcake and get icing all over his face. I got pictures and they look so cursed. He had icing all over his hand and he kept jokingly asking people to "dab me up". I have never laughed so hard in my life.

Actually being able to wear a short-sleeved t-shirt without being too self-conscious feels great.

This morning I cleaned out my fridge. I had 1 leftover slice of pizza and maybe 1 scoop of spaghetti in a container. I cut up the pizza and pasta and tossed them out onto my front yard to feed the birds.

Awhile later I looked out the window and saw a Momma starling and her baby. The baby wanted to eat spaghetti, but the Momma kept wanting to feed them pizza. So while Mom was pecking off a piece of pizza, the baby would be munching the spaghetti. Then when Mom turned and shoved the pizza at the baby, the baby would look up and eat the pizza.

Made me laugh!

My friend dreamed he was going to meet me, but had to stop to eat waffle burgers. I just loved it, made me laugh at how random his dream was and to he honest it would be a valid excuse to be late.

My uncle.

Doing my expense report for recent business trip, and can't find receipt anywhere for a bag I checked. I'm thinking I'm going to be out the $30 because our travel folks are sticklers for receipts. Check my credit card thinking maybe, just maybe this one time if I show them it is on my card and I'm not making it up they will reimburse me. Turns out that somehow, the airline didn't charge me at all! Last Friday was a "free fee" day for flight changes because there was so much chaos that they weren't penalizing for rebooking. Didn't think that extended to luggage fees though...

I laughed out loud when I saw 3 chickens scurrying across my neighbor's driveway yesterday after work. We live in the suburbs of a major city so not often do you see live poultry in our neighborhood.

The documentary, Good Ol’ Freda. It is heartwarming and funny and full of tidbits about the Beatles' early success while focusing on their secretary, Freda Kelly.
