The concept of modern-day influencers has been a thing for a while now. What is this strange phenomenon that has taken over the WWW? They swarm every social media platform that exists, and it has become impossible not to encounter them while scrolling. Well, influencers, as the title suggests, influence others. They have a distinct niche (All look the same to me… fashion, shmashion…), and they actively engage with their… followers. Y'know, like a biblical prophet. They have also gained a bad re…

Every once in a while, you come across a minor inconvenience that makes you want to scream.

Jealousy isn't a great personality either, my friend!

Melanie needs to learn something about boundaries!

What's more mildly infuriating than people? The things that people do!

Going swimming at hotel pools is one of the best parts of vacation — and if you're a kid, it might even be the best part! Unfortunately, one mom and her kids found out the hard way that you can't just use all parts of the hotel any time you please. Pools usually aren't open 24/7 at most places.

There are few people in this world who can honestly say that they actually enjoy their jobs. Most of us just kind of exist in this black hole called existence and try not to stir stuff up with HR or yell at our office Karen.

Recounting retail horror stories can be a fun pastime when you've long since moved on. They bring up a sense of bittersweet nostalgia and don't usually cause your brain to swell with rage the way that they used to. It's not that Karens didn't exist in the past, rather you weren't aware of their species name — back in the good ol' days, you just called them a regular swear word. Over the years, only the really ridiculous instances stay with you, and most of the other miserable stories slowly fad…

To 2023: We hope Karen gets fired.

If you have a question, ask someone else.

To that one coworker (you know who you are)... act your wage.

'Your uniform doesn't comply with the dress code. IF pants have belt loops, a belt must be worn!'

Positive reinforcement is not always effective.

I spy with my little eye... a liar.

Bad tipping, wasteful packaging, misleading ads, oh my!

Sorry, Europe is expensive.
