There are many new routines you have to get used to when you have a new baby in your life. Your sleeping schedule, eating, traveling, working, and, well, everything. A baby is completely helpless and you have to basically do everything for it. So of course that is going to change your life completely.

'Actually, I don't need the job anymore': 15+ Times people got to say 'no' for the most satisfying reasons

Saying “no” is an important skill to learn in life. It takes practice: it can be way easier to instantly say yes to whatever people ask you to do. Especially if you're a people-pleaser, you probably know the pressure of feeling like you have to agree to every request people throw at you. Maybe it's your boss asking if you can stay late at work on a Friday, even though you see him waltzing out of the office at 4 PM. Or perhaps your ex-partner keeps trying to get you back in their life, and you k…

‘[Don’t] even look in my general direction’: Entitled sister-in-law enforces petty rules after couple moves in, malicious compliance ensues

Worker asked to train their replacement, plots their next move: 'How do I sabotage it?'

Getting fired from your job stinks—there's really no way around it. Even if you hate your job with a burning passion, the sudden loss of employment and security is nearly impossible to get past easily.

'He doesn't make as much as us real engineers': Entitled friends mock guy's career, so he picks up their hefty dinner tab

At the end of the day, you can't accurately gauge someone's income solely based on their job title. Salaries can fluctuate significantly across different industries. So, never think you're better than anyone because you assume you make more money than them. This lesson hit home when a group of entitled friends decided to mock their acquaintance for being an agricultural engineer, dismissing it as not a "real" engineering profession. Throughout their group dinner with their families, they belitt…

Parents want their kids to not make the mistakes they did growing up, so they forbid them from it. But the thing is, that isn't going to stop them, especially once they are grown…

Snow shoveling is hard work, but these neighbors don't care. If they can be cozy in their home while this OP does all the heavy lifting, that's perfectly fine with them.
