I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD when I discovered these traffic poles are SUPPOSED to bend. 🤯😂

Apparently they’re called flexible delineators and they’re used to divide lanes, block off areas, prevent parking & mark hazards — without necessarily destroying your car if you accidentally make contact. 🚗😅

BUT before anyone starts testing this theory… ⚠️

There are also plenty of STEEL poles & bollards out there that will absolutely mess up your car.

So the lesson here is:
Bendy-looking or not, I’m still avoiding ALL poles. 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one who didn’t know this?!

Just because you make it look easy, doesn’t mean your effort isn’t worth something!

As I was changing the Dyson Pure Cool Link filter, I realized this one “quick task” isn’t as quick & easy as it sounds! I finally counted it and it takes TWENTY NINE MICRO STEPS!

So stay at home moms, I want you to know that I SEE YOU… what you are doing may not be paid labor, but it’s important to your family & your health/needs.
