It's perfectly normal to forget someone's name the second or third time you run into them socially, but this lady seemed to be doing it on purpose. Not only did she always make a point about not remembering the Redditor's name, but she seemed perfectly capable of remembering OP's husband. It's the kind of social interaction that seems fishy. If this lady only saw OP with her husband, why would she always make a point of remembering the husband and treating OP like she was invisible? While I hav…

This guy felt oddly entitled to his next door neighbor's home . There are a million neighbor feuds for this very reason: you can't really tell other people how to run their lives. Sure, you can try to cajole your neighbor to take down her Christmas lights now that it's April, or maybe you can talk a different neighbor into taking down the floodlights that blind you while you try to sleep at night. But it doesn't always go as planned, and in this guy's case, his neighbors retaliated against him…

There is a lot at stake when you're planning a wedding, which naturally means so much can go terribly wrong. Not only is there the anxiety surrounding superficial things like the flowers and the music and the food, but then there's also the anxiety that comes with appeasing multiple personalities at once and having certain difficult family members participate in the event. The truth is you can plan every possible way to avoid drama, but there are some people who simply bring drama with them whe…

Sorry, not sorry, for the egg puns—they are eggcellent!

Karens gonna Karen no matter your profession. So whether you work in the service industry or are the CEO of your own company, nobody is safe from a Karen. Take, for example, this electrician's story on Reddit . He was hired, as an electrician, to do some lighting work at a grocery store. This was back when he was a young blue collar worker and still new to the trade. He was alone, on a ladder, working on the lights, very much looking like an electrician and in no way a grocery store clerk. And…

Did you know that the kids these days are referring to the 90s as the “late 1900s"? If that sentence made you want to check your scalp for gray hairs, you're not alone. Aging happens to every living being, and there's nothing we can do about it. We're just along for the ride as trends change and lingo transforms. It's like that saying about how the past is a foreign country. We had less tech back then, and everything was different. In school, our teachers assured us that we'd need to know how t…

When you're little, the difference between ‘right’ and ‘wrong' is usually pretty clear. Stealing your friend's toy is wrong, but returning it to them is the right thing to do. However, playground rules don't apply when you're an adult and every black-and-white decision becomes muddled in a sea of grey.

School group projects are never divided equally, and one person always ends up doing the workload of everyone else. The annoying part in this (besides doing more work than you should), is that everyone still ends up getting credit. When I was in high school, I had to make a movie. Okay, I exaggerated, and that sounds a little more impressive than it actually ended up being. We were put in a group of 4 and were told we had to come up with an idea for a 10-minute film. Then we had to pick a locat…

People often forget that in any job search, you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. That means that no matter what your level of desperation is, always keep in mind that you still have the power of choice during your interview and search process. That means that you should feel empowered to ask questions and not just the basic fundamentals like salary and benefits. You should feel entitled to ask your interviewer about their experience at the company, what their concerns…

There are surprisingly few stories we see shared online in this manner that have any real substance about them. Sure, they make for good stories and engagement for discussion, but one can never be completely sure that there's anything more to them than that. Well, that was until this story surfaced, a legendary tale of legendary status that spread like wildfire around certain corners of the internet and in military circles, owing to the fact that there was a lot of evidence pointing to the fact…

You would think the hotel would have clearer policies. These guests were on a vacation down in Miami when two strangers came into their room after being granted room key access by the front desk agent. Luckily, the guests were alright, but they did call the police to file a formal complaint about what happened. The interaction between the officers and the front desk agent was captured via video by one of the guests. In the video, you can see that the front desk agent accidentally reveals that h…

Rudeness doesn't get you very far in the customer service world. As someone who used to answer phones to help out my company's customers, the ones who opened the call with raw fury rarely saw me go above and beyond to help them. Nobody wants to go out of their way to help someone who's going to act like a meany pants.

This hardworking mother let her husband look like a fool after he had some harsh words for her. It seems like her revenge was well-deserved! When this story happened, times were different. As u/pokey1984 writes, their grandmother was raising a bunch of kids , which is basically a full time job. Even when your kids are teenagers, you still have to cook, clean, help with homework, organize doctor appointments and rides to soccer practice… It's a never-ending list, and parents certainly don't get…

School might be a hub for education engagement and socialization, but it can also be a place where some of the most mildly infuriating scenarios life has to offer can occur. That's because when you walk into a school, you've got a number of power dynamics at play: teachers, administrators, and then, of course, the hierarchical social structure among students. Furthermore, schools of all sizes come with sets of rules to be enforced by faculty and staff. As we have seen with many other kinds of i…

“I think A.I. just dumped me ,” confessed one confused person. As artificial intelligence, commonly known as A.I., becomes larger and more integrated with everyday life, things are going to get weird. At this point in the internet, we know A.I. is here to stay, but we aren't quite sure how to properly integrate it into businesses or our personal lives. Teachers are reading A.I.-written papers that their students have turned in, and some business people have resorted to letting an A.I. do their…

Every so often, your coworker asks you to do a favor for them. It might be to proofread an email, grab something from the kitchen, or brainstorm for 15 minutes. However, giving them a free manicure is not exactly the kind of favor one expects to be confronted with at work. This employee's coworker admired their nails and asked them what they were using. You would think the conversation ended there, and the coworker would just take it upon herself to purchase the same product as the employee. Ho…
