Mom defends 8-year-old daughter's right to read during family vacation, family members ask her to "reconsider": 'My MIL and FIL have spent the entire breakfast scowling at me'

Many parents have to beg their children to pick up a book, but some have the exact opposite issue: They can't get their kids to stop reading! When you get really into reading as a child , you want to read all the time. Whether you're reading under the table at dinner time, or sneaking a flashlight into your room to read under the covers, you'll find any scrap of time to read. It's addicting to be engrossed in a fascinating mystery or a horror book. It's also a lot better than playing endless vi…

'I gave this dumpster fire the professional treatment': Voice-over artist reads entire badly-edited book for client, book still gets approved for release

'I gave this dumpster fire the professional treatment': Voice-over artist reads entire badly-edited book for client, book still gets approved for release

This voice-over artist is clearly a professional. When they noticed typos in a book they were going to read aloud for a client, they fixed the typos for him. Sounds simple, right? That was a kind thing for u/pumaFGT to do, actually. They were taking on more work than they needed to for no extra charge. Too bad their client was annoyed at the way the book turned out… Up next, these people revealed the baffling reasons they got in trouble, like one person who shared that, “In driver's education I…

'[I] was told to "actually read the policy". So I did': Employee complies with company meal policy after bosses demand $1.50 in overages

Who reads the fine print anyway? Well, this person, for one. There are many times in life that you need to sign contracts , and wise people will tell you that you should read every word of those contracts to know exactly what you're getting yourself into. It's too easy to quickly sign a bajillion-word document, only to find out later that there are clauses that can bite you in the rear. Plus, if you're like this person, you might find some hidden gems in the slog of paperwork you need to sign.…

grandma granny gran banned library libraries librarian librarians karen karens-in-the-wild entitled mother reddit entitled-people reddit-thread books book reading berzerk

'What did I tell you about coming here again?!; You have been banned!': Mousy librarian flips a switch and rebukes a rampaging Karen, telling her off and running her out of the library for good

Bookish kids will always remember the day they got their library card. Perhaps it's because this is the first card you ever authenticate with a signature at the bottom, or perhaps it's because you had unlimited access to all the books in the world and finally had a friendly old lady who was willing to point you towards your next adventure. And everyone knows that friendly librarians are the ultimate pseudo-granny.

Have you ever listened to a person talk for less than a minute and known you weren't going to get along with that person? What did they say?

"His first words to me are 'weak handshake bro'": 35+ People who absolutely hated someone from the moment they opened their mouth

First impressions really do matter! These people told r/askreddit about the people who they knew they wouldn't get along with from the first minute of conversation, and it was quite eye opening. People tend to tell you who they are — you just have to listen. A few teachers took to the comments to express their frustration with parents who love to tell these teachers how much their kids hate reading. In some cases, they bragged that their kid is illiterate ! The teachers certainly didn't like th…
