So not really a long blog, but I'm in the process of doing a mandatory e-learning module as part of my new job and this gem turned up [image loading]

Anyways it warms my heart that there are little things like this littered through life that just make me grin like an idiot for a while. On the subject of other little things that make a day, I just got some loose leaf green tea and it is awesome.

Life is good, and I invite yous to share the little things that make your day.

Haha balls, not sure if the image is loading, oh well, also probably used irony wrong. Oh well

edit:Sorry missed a few bits out which completes the context of the whole thing:
1. It is a question as part of an "Occupational Health" thing, i.e. about taking care of yourself etc.
2. You could only choose one option. I guess this kinda made it stressful, but more funny than anythign else.

A nice cup of tea as well :D .

Seeying a bird flying in the sky. Having the sansation of haviong accomplished somthing small in my day.

For the image, (it is up) i 'd say all of them cause stress. I am not an easily stressed person. Probably the third answer gets me more. One thing i do when i am stressed, is to stop and take a deep breath. People forget how important breathing is, and by correctly breathing, listening to your breathing, you clear your head up and release some stress

I don't really get the joke? All four options seem somewhat legit as causes of stress.

Its always the small things that seem most fulfilling.
A nicely layout sky - blue sky, a whiff of clouds, and yellow sun, is always good!

I think the irony is, that it has radio buttons.
All four are legit, but you may only choose one.

I do hate being forced to pick one answer from a multiple choice question that actually has more than one answer that I agree with, especially when I can't elaborate.

I find it as annoying as having to answer a loaded question with merely a Yes or a No. That traditional "Do you still beat your wife?" question... regardless of the answer you give (bubble in Yes or No, no elaboration), you're still guilty.

Reminds me of the recent 'pineapple and the hare' standarized 8th grade english test. If you haven't read it, the story + questions are absolutely worth it ;p.

I found this the day before he got fired, and I thought it was pretty hillarious.

Yes, I am going to hell now.

This is what I was expecting the question to say:

Complete the sentence:

Stress is caused by...
  • Having too much work to do
  • Getting in an fight with a friend
  • Any negative concept that can have an impact on one’s mental and physical well-being
  • Forces that are perpendicular to a cross-sectional area of a material

I don't feel like this story and the OP's are ironic. Both examples are just ridiculous. To me irony would be asking something like "Why are you stressed?", and the options are "Because I spent the entire weekend slacking", "Because I won the lottery" or "Because I'm happy".
