Human Truths
Human Truths are the funny, awkward, painfully relatable things we all do but don’t always say out loud. They are the little habits, quiet thoughts, weird routines, and everyday moments that make people say, “Yep… I do that too.”
Examples:
- Pretending you did not see someone because you forgot their name
- Opening the fridge five times hoping something new appears
- Practicing a conversation in your head and still messing it up
- Saying “you too” when the waiter says “enjoy your meal”
- Secretly enjoying popping a pimple
Submit a Human Truth if:
Your moment is something a lot of people secretly do, feel, think, avoid, overthink, or understand.

Information
What is a MUB Moment?
A MUB Moment is a real-life, authentic human moment worth sharing. It can be funny, awkward, chaotic, heartfelt, embarasing, reflective or just painfully relatable.
It does not have to be perfect or polished - in fact, it's better if it's not.
If it makes someone say "I do that too!" "that's my friend" or "that is sooo human" it probably belongs here.
Learn About Each MUB Moment Below:
What Can I Submit?
- A short video

- A quote or caption
- A nomination for someone else
