People love virtue signaling online, it gives them the motivation to continue avoiding the miserable reality of inflation, micromanaging work environments, and slimy coworkers. Where do they love doing it? LinkedIn, the playground for employees who want to look like they care way more than they actually do, although there is the occasional outlier who actually believes what they post online. LinkedIn is the place where CEOs go to blabber about their new car only to post about layoffs a day late…

Boy math is putting $27,850 into a truck worth $2,700

People get divorced for all kinds of reasons. They fall out of love, they can't stand their in-laws, they have dissimilar parenting styles, one hates blueberries and the other likes them. Oh wait, that last one was… quite petty. What are the most entertaining but petty reasons people get a divorce? Well, you'll find out once you scroll down and read this oh-so-bitter (but funny) thread about married people who were done with their spouses. For the weirdest reasons. I know people who got divorce…

The clock strikes 5, and you zoom out of the office. You don't even look back when your boss yells out sheepishly, ‘Wait, are you leaving?’. Yes, you're leaving! Right this instant, actually. Every day in the office feels like stepping into a weird, alternate dimension. The fluorescent lights flicker ominously as you shuffle past coworkers, half expecting your awkward boss to greet you dressed in royal garments. He is quite the character. Some might compare him to Michael Scott from the Office.…

I was fired before, and let me tell you, it is not a good feeling. The knot that forms in your stomach makes you want to bend over a toilet, and you dread the moment your boss invites you into their office for a ‘discussion’. In my case, it happened via a phone call. I was waitressing at a tiny restaurant in my hometown, and granted, I wasn't very good at it. The reason I got fired was because 2 days in I had failed to inform the kitchen that one customer's steak was ‘too well done’. The custom…

The only reason any of us are enduring our workday for the sake of a measly paycheck is because life is expensive. Watching our bills, groceries, car payments, and rent go up every month isn't exactly an encouraging reality, but only a deluded person would think that the luxuries in life (like a full fridge and gas in your car) would come without a price tag–but then again...

Rich people doing rich people things

Eh, the weekend went by too fast… What is it with time? It really does fly when you're having fun. So, what about these wholesome memes and posts? They're here to put a smile on your face, my friend. Life is frustrating and we could all use some extra serotonin now and again. So if you're feeling overworked, underpaid, and just generally in dire need of a vacation, I've got you covered. Below you will find heartwarming stories by people who had cool encounters with strangers, pets, and even the…

Sometimes, you have to give your dad the benefit of the doubt. Most of the time, he is just trying to get a rise out of you, so don't be too annoyed when his humor doesn't exactly land. He's trying. Much like Ken from Barbie , he's just Dad. This one goes out to all the fathers who are just trying to be more than the chauffeur who takes his kids to soccer practice. He knows his role but he wants to find a little bit of agency by cracking a corny joke he's been workshopping in his head over the…

People are wild, but clever, and they all gather in one place to share their hilarious stories that might just help you out one day… Reddit. But before we dive in, let's discuss why we're here. It often feels like the law is out to get us. Some were born to cater to humanity, while others came about to enforce certain hegemonic behaviors. Now, I'm not a fan of the legal system, but I understand why it exists, and mostly, I agree with what the law states. But there are some weird laws all around…

Swipe left, swipe right, but whatever you do, don't stop swiping.

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…

Some people enjoy rules, while others like to break them. This post is specifically about the latter who took to Reddit to share which rules they break, and why. If I had to place myself in one of the two categories, I'd probably say I'm somewhere in the middle. Back when I was in high school, I was a rebel, but as time went on and I (cough) matured, I became a little less hot-headed and conformed more to societal rules. Sometimes this would work out in my favor, while other times, I wish I rea…

These posts are awkward, cringey, and weirdly motivating.

Long gone are the days I went to summer camp, but I always enjoy a good story about camp counselors vs camp attendees. In this case, OP was in an IT course in a Balkan country, and they got an offer to go to a summer sports camp. OP describes the adventure as ‘fun’ even though there were quite a few things that were a bit ‘off’ about the camp itself. Still, when you are young, you know how to ignore red flags and just have fun. One of the bigger issues was the curfew… or rather, the lack of lig…

I should be able to repeat a few well-known sayings in my sleep by now. My favorite phrase, and the one I have to swear by—are you ready for it? ‘live within your means’. In case you haven't noticed already, the theme of this delightfully intriguing tale will be money—perhaps the most despicable topic in history. However, I guess it gets less painful, and possibly even funny, when we talk about other people's money. The story below is an account of a cynical tenant who has come up with a very c…
