Philanthropy and charity work, founding non-profit organizations, and winning outstanding awards for their acting and singing careers — for these artists, being their best and helping others is their daily routine and none other than Queen Elizabeth II herself has recognized them with a well-deserved royal honor. We selected the most extraordinary artists that now officially take part in the British Empire. 1.

Moving objects, sudden voices around the house, suspicious coincidences — some people don’t need to read chilling stories because they’ve lived through one. And while some of these occurrences can be explained, others will keep you wondering and questioning your own understanding of reality. We all ready to spook you a bit with these stories told by folks around the internet. Make sure to keep the lights on while reading! © Overheard / Ideer My great-grandma lived overseas. She called with my mom every Sunday around 8:00 AM. Also, our caller ID always showed up as unknown when she called. The week she passed away, on Sunday morning, we sat together with my mom in the kitchen. She got emotional and I tried to comfort her. At 8:04 AM the phone rang and the number showed up an unknown. When she picked up she couldn’t hear anything except some static noise, but then some garbled voice recording said, “We hope you enjoy your trip to paradise!” The call cut off afterward.  © smittywrbermanj...

Your dog chewing your passport just before a trip, going to work with mismatched shoes and only realizing hours later, or paying a ton for an awful haircut — sometimes luck just isn’t on our side at all. But the good news is that these horrible moments usually pass quickly and become stories that we can laugh about later. Dmfmemes found some people who just weren’t having a good day, and we can all relate to them more than we’d like to admit. 1. “I found this chair in the trash.

Japan has one of the most  complicated  systems of social conventions and rules of behavior. An inexperienced tourist who visits this country for the first time can easily get confused and mix things up. Local people can easily spot foreigners in the crowd by the seemingly insignificant mistakes they make. Fortunately, the Japanese are very tolerant of tourists who unknowingly violate their rules of good manners. Still, no one wants to mess things up in a foreign country, so that’s why it’s better to know those nuances. We at  dmfmemes  have carefully studied the rules of behavior in Japan, and the reviews of local people and tourists, and we found 14 mistakes that help Japanese people easily see a foreigner in the crowd. 1.
