Hosting events is a lot of work; there's a house to be cleaned, food to be prepped, and a lot of general setup that needs to be taken care of. When it's family, it's even more so to do—it's probably a good idea to hide the things your family won't approve of and save yourself the judgment. Family hosting schedules help to ease the burden of any one person having to host too often, and the reality is that for a member of the family to drop from hosting duties places a disproportionate amount of…

Your glass should never be empty when the in-laws visit

This person is lending out way too much money to their friends! There's only so much you can do for your friends before you're officially the one being taken advantage of. After all, friendship is supposed to be a give-and-take. You laugh together and cry together. You listen to their troubles and they listen to yours. If it's not reciprocal, it can leave one or both of you with conflicting feelings. Up next, read about one 22-year-old employee who “ decided to start including the Chairman/CEO……

It seems that both parties are at fault here. On the one hand, you have the Redditor, who is the breadwinner of the family. He recently brought home a bonus of $3,000, a bonus that his wife wanted to be mostly used to pay for a wedding gift for her friend. Now, this friend frequently extends financial generosity to the Redditor's wife when they socialize together. It makes logical sense that the wife would want to pay her friend back for all the meals and financial assistance her friend provide…

Cheaters never win, as this woman found out the hard way after deceiving her boyfriend. Breaking up is never easy, no matter what the reason. But when one partner cheats, it can certainly make the decision easier for the other person! Up next, read about these employees who were fired with haste after getting sassy with customers, like one employee who dared to say, “ If I have to talk to you again, you have to sit in time out for 10 minutes. ”

More often than not, wedding planning results in more conflict than joyous anticipation. What should be exciting and celebratory ends up quickly falling to madness as family members impose unnecessary demands and usurp the event as if it is their own. Sure, perhaps your parents are contributing financially to some of the wedding festivities, but that does not give anyone the right to make decisions behind your back. Here, we have a bride whose mother fully went against her wishes and ordered a…

Well, at least they didn't make a big deal out of nothing

This woman was apparently blindsided when she prepared dinner for herself and her boyfriend, only for him to smirk when he tasted the meal and tell her that he had been “taking notes” and prepared something for her, too.

Bah-humbug! This HOA member is getting coal in her stocking after spending an inordinate amount of time bothering someone who isn't even in her HOA. Up next, have a laugh at some of these bakery mistakes and messed-up cakes, like one person who shared what happened when “the bakery department tossed seven different types of unproofed dough into the composting bin overnight.”

Since many offices have switched their layout to an 'open space' type of work environment, the reality is that there is not a lot of privacy in the office. Not only do many employees find themselves working when they face their coworkers all day long, but there is also a trend of getting glass doors for all the rooms in the office. This means that there is pretty much nowhere you can be at work without someone else being able to see you, maybe other than the bathroom. This ongoing trend leads e…

How many assignments do you reckon you submitted in your journey to find a job? A couple? Dozens? Hundreds? People who have been looking for a job for quite some time, have probably gone through dozens of assignments they had to provide to hiring managers and recruiters. Out of those dozens, at least some have been later used by the company they applied for, even if they didn't get the job. Admittingly, this happened to me a while ago. The company I interviewed for used my ideas on their social…

This college student is suing her parents for all they stole from her. The Redditor's great-aunt placed a high value on education for women and saved a ton of money to pay the college tuition for the Redditor and other women in the family. However, when it was time for the original poster (OP) to go to college, she found out that nearly all of those funds were used by her parents to help pay for her brother's wedding. Not only is that unethical considering the money was meant for OP, but also i…

Remember when going to the mall was the ultimate hangout? Back in the day, it was all about freedom—no parents, all the pretzels you could eat, and browsing racks of cheesy graphic tees with your friends. It wasn’t just a shopping trip; it was a whole vibe where we could spend hours roaming, people-watching, and if you were lucky, running into your crush. Fast forward to today, and the mall still seems to be a teenage hangout spot, but unfortunately, we live in the day of social media. Malls ha…

When people use the term “not leadership material” they can mean a wide variety of things. It can mean that you're not suited to the organization's toxic expectations of complicity and your unwillingness to follow whatever directive is passed down to you blindly. It can also mean that your performance isn't up to standard or that you don't prioritize interpersonal relationships and kiss the appropriate rear ends often enough. “Doesn't do the things I want them to,”

You get a raise, you get a raise, you get a raise!

If you had a $90 cake sitting in your fridge at home, I imagine you'd eat every last bite of it. You can get a fantastic cake for a fraction of the price. This woman just decided to shell out 70€, or roughly $90, for an expensive cake. Up next, this 22-year-old was thrown a surprise party that they adamantly did not want, and when they fled the shindig, they “ woke up to over 50 texts ” from surprised family members.
