The commute to work is supposed to be a sacred space of personal time, but this woman's cheerful coworker is ruining it for her. As u/PersonalYesterday865 wrote to the British Problems subreddit, she's struggling with her people-pleasing ways. She's not quite sure what to do about her friendly coworker who just started working at the same job as her. The OP has learned that they take the exact same commute, and as an introvert, she's freaking out about losing her much-needed alone time. Luckily…

Everyone wants to make their marriage proposal special. One triathlete and Ironman finisher definitely went the extra mile for his marriage proposal – 140 miles to be precise – and it unintentionally backfired, leaving the Internet in a tizzy of debate. This man completed an entire Ironman competition, which consists of a 2.4 mile swim then a 112 mile bike ride followed by a full marathon, while carrying an engagement ring with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend when she greeted him a…

This dude ducked out of a dinner party early, making his friends absolutely furious. Some people will always take advantage of your generosity! In this post to r/AmItheA******, u/OldAbbreviations6423 had a pressing question regarding his current friend group. The OP is in the awkward position of being one of the higher earners in their friend group, so they've kindly covered tips in the past while the group was out dining. But the OP noticed an interesting pattern of their friends over ordering…

Dad jokes will never fail to make you have some kind of a reaction....

It's really easy nowadays to pirate software, which is probably why everybody does it, including big companies that can easily afford to buy the original. Of course, there are those anti-pirating-angels, who wish to wear their halos for all to see — which begs the question, why (besides taking cash into account) don't we download the genuine version of the software? Why are we so quick to dismiss it? The reason is actually pretty simple. You can't run the stupid thing without an internet connec…

There are times we'd rather not get specific. In fact, most of the time we spend on the internet is done while mindlessly scrolling, clicking on random stuff, and finding ourselves in the depths of the WWW… There are rabbit holes that are better left unfound, and there are others that are sent by the internet gods (AKA the algorithm) as a blessing. Depending on how much we liked the rabbit hole we encountered, we may or may not pay it a revisit. The subreddit r/funny is a great example of a tim…

Creating memorable romantic gestures is a skill that not everyone has, according to the people who shared these hilariously bad romantic missteps. The OP asked r/AskWomen to tell the story of the “worst well-intended romantic gesture a SO ever did for you," with the added bonus of sharing their reaction. People shared a lot of really terrible presents, along with some situations that just seemed like mistakes.

We know the Utah community is pretty tight knit, but we didn't know they were THIS close. Marcela Hill, an American content creator recently revealed a confession that she has been hiding for decades– she accidentally married her third cousin. For most people, that would be a pretty haunting and creepy fact to admit to your immediate family and close friends, but Marcela shared this intimate detail about her life to over 3 million followers on TikTok. She even jauntily added in her video, "when…

The best and worst thing that has ever happened to the human species.

Oh boy did that manager learn their lesson.

One might think that when one of your parents gets cheated on by the other, resulting in a soon-to-be new brother or sister, you might not exactly be over the moon. At the very least, you might think that one would carry some empathy for the parent who was suffering, not the one who lied about their infidelity and then oops, got another woman pregnant. Sigh… I don't know if it's a generational thing, or if we were just as self-centered back in the day, but this is unacceptable behavior and says…

One writer got to tell an incredible story to the world in real time as she witnessed a first date slowly turn sour.

From calling out privilege to giving some serious shade to medical professionals, some highly opinionated folk have taken to Reddit to express themselves. Being this vocal in real life might spark a dispute or two, and depending on how far you take it, you might even find yourself jobless. People take things very seriously nowadays, and the internet is full of people who advocate for cancel culture. People commend free speech as long as they're the ones talking. r/unpopularopinions has been cre…

All the fish in the sea are piranhas.

Firstly, a quick shoutout to Darwin's brilliant theory of evolution… the flaws in how humans have evolved are no secret to any of us. Just enter the nearest Mcdonald's — I dare say 15 minutes won't go by without some kind of incident occurring, most likely involving an entitled person who takes their 3-dollar burger very seriously. Evidently, some humans have not quite evolved as we'd have hoped, and are clearly deficient in brain cells. Particularly those linked with public decency. We all kno…
