People Share Things That Are Still Good Even If They're Bad

[rebelmouse-image 18357428 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

There's an old saying that bad pizza and bad sex are still both good. While I (and a LOT of people on Reddit) completely disagree on both counts - there's something to be said for the idea. One Reddit user asked:

Besides pizza and sex, what's something that's still pretty good when it's bad?

When we first started thinking about it, we couldn't really think of anything that was still good when it was bad... but the responses actually nailed a few! We're talking sick days, small paychecks, chow mein... click through for more stuff that's good even when it's bad.

Day "Off"

[rebelmouse-image 18349371 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Having the day off of work. Pretty much every time it happens, we just load ourselves up with work around the house but it's still good to be off. Just had a 4 day weekend; we painted the master bedroom.

Sucks, but days off, so it's a win

Sick Days

[rebelmouse-image 18348776 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Even when I'm sick I'll think "at least I can just sleep all day"

Who Cares If It's Wrong?

Old maps of the world, where half of the places are wrong or just made-up from hearsay.

Island of California, Kingdom of Prester John, Australo-Antarctico-Papua...

Entertainingly Bad

[rebelmouse-image 18357431 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When a movie is so horrible, it's a lot of fun to watch.

Just Sleep

[rebelmouse-image 18354012 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Sleep. Bad sleep is far better for you than no sleep, by a long shot.

The Worse They Are, The Better

[rebelmouse-image 18357432 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Jokes. I absolutely love terrible jokes.

Donuts

[rebelmouse-image 18357433 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

While I've had widely varying levels of quality, I've never had a bad donut. A normal, store bought glazed donut that's been sitting out all day still sounds really appealing to me.

New Recipe

[rebelmouse-image 18357434 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Chow Mein noodles from Panda Express. When they changed the recipe to make it "healthier", I didn't like it, but it did the job. Was not great, but just decent enough. Still not as good as the hole-in-the-wall, greasy, Chinese fast food chow mein.

Cars

[rebelmouse-image 18357435 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Borrowing one from Jeremy Clarkson: Cars. You may hate everything about a certain model of car, but if it's in decent condition, it can still get you from point A to point B cost-effectively and conveniently.

Just Get The Job Done

[rebelmouse-image 18355631 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

A drink. As long as you still get drunk.

Fishing

[rebelmouse-image 18351599 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My dad used to take me to the local park where there was a small lake for fishing when I was a kid. We had a lot of fun just talking, relaxing and playing with our dog. We never got a single nibble.

Years later he told me that the lake was manmade and not stocked with fish. He just thought it was fun.

Good dad!

Hi Mom

Visiting my dying mother in the hospital.

Flaming Dumpster Pile In Culinary Form

[rebelmouse-image 18357437 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Nachos. Even if it is just chips with bulk-bought cheese sauce and some jalapenos, it is a good snack.

I regularly get a very specific craving for the s* nachos a bar I used to work at served. They were cheap tortilla chips from Costco, nalley chili beans, pre-shredded waxy-as-hell "fiesta" cheese mix thrown into a salamander (basically a commercial-grade broiler) and then topped with canned salsa and sour cream.

A flaming dumpster pile in culinary form, but my god do I yearn for them on cold and lonely nights.

Doesn't Even Matter What Kind

[rebelmouse-image 18357438 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Dumplings. Doesn't even matter what kind of dumpling it is. Gyoza, pierogi, gnocchi, whatever. Dumplings are the best, even a crappy dumpling is still better than most food.

Best Served Cold

[rebelmouse-image 18355604 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Revenge. Sweet, untraceable revenge...

Bad Bread Is Not A Thing

[rebelmouse-image 18357440 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Bread.

Even the cheapest, mass produced, most preservative filled bread is still pretty good. I don't think I've ever eaten bad bread.

Go Browns

[rebelmouse-image 18357441 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Going to a football game. Even if your team doesn't win a single fing game, at least you still got to dress up and get sfaced with thousands of other screaming fanatics.

Go Browns

No Regrets

[rebelmouse-image 18357443 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

A workout. Even at my worst workouts I've never regretted it.

Wake Up

[rebelmouse-image 18357444 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Coffee. Bad coffee is definitely worse than no coffee.

Money Is Always The Right Answer

[rebelmouse-image 18357445 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Paychecks. Even a small one is money.

Important Lessons People Have Learned The Hard Way

Reddit user IndianaC0NES asked: 'What’s an important lesson you learned the hard way?'

We've all had to learn something the hard way or at a super inconvenient time.

But because we're always learning new things, of course there will have to be some things that we learn later, rather than sooner, no matter the consequences of learning it too late.

From a young age, we've all had it drilled into us the importance of finding a good job that we can work at for the rest of our lives.

But sometimes those jobs don't work out for one reason or another, and sometimes all of the fault gets pinned on the employee.

Emotions are high at weddings, with the bride and groom going through various stages of anxiety and excitement.

During those stages, seeing how well a newly wedding couple interacts with each other as well as with other family members and friends under pressure can indicate how well they work together as a team.

If professional wedding photographers had years of experience capturing one of the most monumental milestones for couples, they would be able to identify if a couple can make it for the long haul.

We've all found ourselves in a position where we simply couldn't contain ourselves and found ourselves putting someone in their place owing to something they said which was either wrong or just plain stupid.

When it comes to the latter category, though, it's often worth taking a minute to wonder if fighting that particular battle is even worth it.

As many people who are about to shoot down their current conversation partner might take a minute and really examine the person they're talking with before remembering the old saying: "Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Sadly, some people remember this conversation too late, and find themselves falling down a conversational rabbit hole from which they may never escape.
