These people are having some second thoughts about the people they're dating, and they're sharing the exact moments they realized they got the ick. What does it take for you to get “the ick” from someone while you're dating? It's often just a little thing, but a relationship is comprised of a million little pieces, so even a few things that seem off can be enough to make you cancel that second date. For example, some people highlighted an interesting tidbit: they've had dates who just didn't li…

HOAs can be a real pain, especially when you're not even part of them, and they're STILL hounding you. That's what happened to one homeowner who kept getting complaints from a neighboring HOA that he didn't even belong to. The HOA kept pestering him to trim back his tree, but he refused. So, in true HOA fashion, they took matters into their own hands and came over without permission to cut back the limbs. But instead of just taking it, this guy decided to stick it to the HOA in the best way pos…

Be careful what you wish for… These law bosses are still learning their lesson after insisting that one employee work way faster than they were used to. It's an important lesson, but some managers never learn from their mistakes. Up next, read about the amusement park guest who's wondering if a Category 5 hurricane is going to affect their amusement park trip , wondering, “Is this weekend ideal?” (Yes, the internet did roast them!)

Who hasn't had the experience of buying the wrong item online? Perhaps it's your own foolishness to blame. You might not have read the fine print, you might have gotten the completely wrong size, or you might not have carefully checked the dimensions of the rugs you were purchasing. The bad news is you probably have to undergo the arduous process of returning the item, trying to get at least some money back, and starting the process all over again from scratch. The good news, however, is that t…

When you think about the phrase “out of touch,” one specific person in your life probably pops into your head. Maybe it's that one nepo-hire coworker who whines about how bad the traffic was in the Hamptons this weekend. Or maybe it's a grandparent who can't go a day without telling their grandkids to spend money they don't have on items they really do not need. There are all types of people who are blissfully oblivious… just ask the hundreds of people who replied to this person's r/AskReddit q…

Getting someone else's mail is one of those things that is bound to happen when you live in an apartment building or complex. Most of the time, it's an innocent mistake. However, if it begins to become a repeated occurrence, something else may be afloat. This Redditor discovered that another tenant in the building was using his address for package and food deliveries. After a few instances in which the Redditor walked over to the tenant's apartment and hand-delivered said packages, he asked the…

If you want to pull off a scam then you need to have charm—Karens simply do not have that.

When we're young, we assume that our parents and other adults in authority are infallible, generally taking them at their word and assuming that all adults conduct themselves in mature, non-biased, morally upright, and ethical ways. You come to find, as you age, that even the paragons of your youth are, in fact, fallible, imperfect people. This realization will often first cause you to feel resentment before you eventually come to accept as you age further that they were nothing more than peopl…

After decades of dedication, this employee was blindsided by an unexpected meeting with her boss. Without any prior warning, she was given an ultimatum: retire or take severance. Either way, she was to be out of the office by next Monday. Shocked and hurt, she left the meeting feeling like she had no choice. Her coworkers, who had no idea what was happening, were confused when she suddenly left, so she decided to send them a heartfelt message explaining the situation. She told them, "I don't wa…

Not all heroes wear capes

No one should have to take orders from people who aren't even legitimate authority figures. This resident of a neighborhood was smart enough to question the bylaws of his HOA and ended up discovering a loophole that allowed him and other members of the neighborhood to remove themselves from the association altogether. So many folks have to grin and bear it when it comes to the rules and regulations of HOAs, so it's rare and wholesome when we come across a story in which a resident barely even h…

Want some coffee? No problem.

Getting rejected or passed over for a promotion that you've been promised for years is always going to leave a bad taste in your mouth. You might believe the words of your employer when they tell you that your efforts will one day lead you to a higher role. And, yet, every time the opportunity presents itself to promote you, they go with someone else, and you're faced with that, no matter what their intentions might have initially been, they're dangling a carrot on a stick out in front of you t…

It's that time of year once again! It's time to dress up for Halloween, carve some pumpkins , eat some pumpkin pie, pick some apples, and rake the leaves off your lawn. The weather is cooling down while we're heating up a mug of apple cider. For many people, autumn is a perfect time of year: not too hot nor too cold, and full of fun activities for the whole family. However, these people have had a few mildly infuriating things happen to them. One all-too-common gripe was people carving pumpkins…

Let this story serve as yet another reminder to choose your battles. It's not worth it to pick a fight with someone who could easily make your life more difficult. If you're unable to see that, you may very well be blinded by your own hubris. Here, we have a Karen, who was actually named Karen. She shared an office in a building with another woman, whom the Redditor refers to as Karen-in-training. Karen-in-training's keycard was not working and it was part of the Redditor's job as the facility…

Is it really true that there are no dumb questions ? Some teachers certainly think so. They encourage students to ask any question, no matter how dumb it may seem. It's a good practice, in theory. It means that shy students or kids who aren't understanding the lesson have a chance to have their basic questions answered. After all, if you're thinking it, there's a good chance someone else is, too. This works great during math lessons, or it can lead to interesting discussions about books or work…
