Who doesn't leave a social situation in a panic at least once a week? If that's not you, congratulations on your relative stability. As for the rest of us, we'll be sitting over here overthinking and overanalyzing what we said or didn't say to our coworker, our date, and even the receptionist at the doctor's office when we had to pick up the phone to schedule an appointment. Many of us need to take a breather and a nap after any kind of extended social interaction like one of the above scenario…

It's easy to shrug off a minor inconvenience, especially if you have a self-deprecating sense of humor. But when it comes to the unforeseen circumstances that can ruin your whole day and maybe even your whole year, even the most patient and mature adult can go crazy. As someone who self-identifies as an impatient individual, I am not sure how I would stay calm and collected through some of these ridiculous debacles. We're talking about household items falling apart, pipes bursting, cars malfunc…

Sure, desperate times call for desperate measures, but no one anticipated this level of desperation. It's funny to see where the choosing beggars of the world decide to reveal themselves online. It's often on online marketplaces, social media direct messages, and job site postings. However, regardless of what they want and regardless of where they post, these individuals have no self-awareness, too much confidence, or all of the above. The following collection of this week's top choosing beggar…

The internet is always up in arms about some silly nonsense *shrugs ambivalently*. There are obviously many serious and big issues going on in the world, and it's nice to take a break from those important things to ponder the silliest and tiniest debates going on. This debate was flagged by a subreddit just for drama in the comments section, aptly named r/subredditdrama. The drama du jour was started after u/Justthisdudeyaknow posted a Tumblr meme from 2020. In the post, a student is surprised…

The things people say on the Internet, man! It's remarkable what people elect to post on public forums for everyone else's amusement and consumption. Granted, sometimes it's totally intentional. People who fancy themselves to be aspiring comedians often turn to social media to find an audience. But oftentimes, the funniest Internet comments are the unintentionally hilarious ones. The ones where people forgot they were posting this online for everyone to see. The ones where people shared way too…

It's all about the little things in life. They say you should try and appreciate the small moments of your days that make a difference, like your partner making you coffee in the morning, or your neighbor bringing a package inside for you when you're not home. At times, this also applies to the small moments in life that are less positive. When you read the tweets below, you'll know exactly how that feels. In an all-too-relatable Twitter thread, user @EastsideTC asked people to share the smalle…

Although these people weren't trying to be funny , they gave everyone around them the giggles. Every friend group has that one person who cracks everyone up with their lack of common sense or knowledge. We all have a few gaps in our knowledge, but some people just make you wonder how they ever got to be this old without knowing basic information. One person wrote that they knew someone who was upset about daylight savings time. Not because she was getting less sleep or had her schedule disrupte…

These people have been blessed with the gift of creativity, and they're using it to insult strangers on the internet . What else is the internet good for if not roasting a few celebs or a handful of your closest friends? The best jabs aren't the meanest. The best ones are the unbelievably creative sort, where you know the person had to spend a few minutes coming up with a fitting comparison. These people didn't just write some kind of lazy quip, they spent time thinking about the best way to ro…

It should go without saying that job interviewers should pay the same amount of respect to the interviewees as they expect to be getting themselves. Unfortunately, that is often not the case. For some reason, the people who are there to hire tend to think they are more important than those who are looking for a job, and so they disregard them, even to their faces. Like the person who shared this story on Reddit. The OP was interviewing for a job, and the interviewer couldn't have been more disr…

Say it loud and proud. These people are fine with sharing their thoughts and feelings at top volume. When people state something with confidence, we have a tendency to assume they're correct. We think to ourselves, “Surely this dude wouldn't be loudly telling everyone in a 20-foot radius about his plan if he wasn't correct.” But it turns out that these people are wrong kind of a lot. Then, people who are actually knowledgeable stay quiet on the subject. They don't want to be loudly wrong, so th…

It's no secret that adulting constantly presents itself with unforeseen challenges. You sometimes wish you spent less energy in school on trigonometry and more energy on financial literacy, taxes, and how to secure work in a competitive job market. Of course, education on how to be a productive adult seems to be the one useful piece of material that is forever absent from our curricula. It's as if some mega-adult out there wants us all to fail. Sure, figuring things out as they go is one way of…

‘I texted my mom… Siri read it out loud’

Using your cats to get back at your sister's dogs is really putting the “pet” in petty. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/EightBitTrash, who might as well be responsible for the premise of the next Cats vs. Dogs movie (not that there should be another one). The Redditor, who has two cats, lives with her sister, who has two d

They did not nail it.

Sure, passive-aggressive behavior is not the ideal way to handle an awkward roommate situation, but sometimes, it's the most effective way to make your point heard. If the person with whom you share space has unrealistic expectations of you, you are bound to upset them. Now, if they themselves cannot meet their own expectations if the roles were reversed, then it's about time to give that person a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Oomp…

Is this a compliment?
