This character flaw is rather hard to live with if a friend has it. You do your best; you tell them reunions start an hour before they actually start, so if they arrive one hour late, they are actually early.

Woman is always more than 40 minutes late to every event and friend doubts if she should confront her about her chronic tardiness or not: 'It's getting worse but at the same time I don't think she does it on purpose and I don't want to hurt her feelings'

Homeowner decides to sell after HOA leadership restricts kids from playing in front yards and starts fining residents $20 for having guests over: ‘An actual fee. For having visitors.’

I have no idea why this is so common; I’ve heard and watched so many related stories. Mothers-in-law are, not for nothing, represented in so many folk tales like this.

Bride-to-be specifically asks her wedding guests to wear any colour but white and green for the ceremony and mother-in-law buys two white and green dresses: '“It’s like champagne” she said as she looked it up, and I just knewwww!!'

If you can't explain it to a Victorian child, it doesn't count I'm amazed by the quantity of stories that exist today that fifteen years ago would've been unthinkable, or at least absolutely dystopian. I remember watching the movie Her, and while I was crying, I was like, c'mon, this can't happen to anyone.
